In chapters eleven through fifteen several OB topics were examined. As you review the video, look for incidences that relate to OB concepts.

Identify two concepts, explain where you observed them in the video and to which chapter they apply. Provide either work or personal examples to support each of the observations.

Example

My post (for a grade of (C or C-) would read like this. If I wanted to earn a better grade I would want to put in more details

1. the OB concept you observed: Judd, Molly and the rest of the students are not motivated to study.
2. where in the video you noticed the behavior: I observed the conversation between ___ and ___ and it was clear that they were not interested in completing their work because.
3. the chapter (one through five) that related to the topic you identified: Chapter five discusses the basic motivational process and the core phases of motivation. Almost the entire chapter is dedicated to motivation.
4. a personal example (either work related or personal) to support the OB concept:

I utilize the measuring achievement motivational process on almost a daily basis. Our sales team is goal driven. As you recall, I am the manager for Starbucks Coffee here in Colorado. The more we sell the more money we earn.

Please remember, if you provide just enough information to "get by" your grade will reflect your effort.
