Remember to always indent the first line of a paragraph (use the tab key) or paragraph formatting (see below). The introduction should be short (2-3 sentences). The margins, font size, spacing, and font type (bold or plain) are set in APA format. While you may change the names of the headings, do not change the formatting or style of font except as specified below. This template uses Times New Roman 12-point. You may also use: Calibri (11), Arial (11), Georgia (11) or Lucida Sans Unicode (10). The use of AI for generating content in Trident classrooms is not permitted unless it is specifically required by assignments in classes. Certain classes may allow AI to be used for brainstorming or to kickstart research. Turnitin detects AI-generated content. Be sure to check your paper with Grammarly for Word and make corrections before submission.

No quotations are permitted in this paper. Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. NOTE: Failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” across the grading rubric. This is a professional paper; not a personal one based on feelings. The first half of the paper must be written in the third person; this means words like “I”, “we”, and “you” are not appropriate.

Generational Motivation

Explore workplace motivation across different generations (Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z) through the lens of Herzberg's two-factor theory. Use ChatGPT or another AI program to make connections between the theory and generational motivation. This will help you decide on optimal search terms to find quality resources supporting this section. If you use an idea provided by ChatGPT, you must cite and reference the program.

WFH, RTO, and Job Satisfaction

Evaluate the impact of work from home versus in-office (or return to office) work using McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y. Use ChatGPT or another AI program to make connections between the theories and WFH vs. RTO. This will help you decide on optimal search terms to find quality resources supporting this section. If you use an idea provided by ChatGPT, you must cite and reference the program. Provide an overview of McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y (1 page) Research required. Critically analyze how each work setting aligns with or challenges these theories. (1 ½ pages: ¾ of a page per theory) Research required.

References

Below are some basic rules to follow when creating a reference list:

• Begin your reference list on a new page.

• The word References should be centered and bold at the top of the page.

• Double-space your reference list.

• For each author, list the last name first followed by the initials for their first and middle names.

• Arrange your reference list alphabetically by the last name of the author.

• Use a hanging indent after the first line of your citation (Word does this for you). Type your entry and then click “Paragraph” on the HOME tab to create the “hanging indent.”

APA has a handout for the most common types of references.
