Assignment: Discussion-Motivation: A Global Environment Challenge
An organizational leader or manager in a global environment faces challenges every day that can potentially stifle the organization. One challenge faced by early twenty-first-century leaders and managers is outsourcing. Outsourcing has become a common practice that often produces quick short-term results, but at what cost?

Select one motivational theory. Make an argument about how the selected motivational theory can support positive employee demeanor during an organizational change involving outsourcing.
