“…At this second, anthropological, stage, the psychology of motivation almost coincides with the psychology of personality. Moreover, the basic content of most theories of personality is the model of motivation, driving forces of behavior and development (theories of Gizhitsky (2014), Meguid and Khalil (2017), Tang et al (2019), Wenzel, Krause and Vogel (2019), Wilkinson, Wells and Bushnell (2007)). Duckworth, Kirby, Tsukayama, Berstein and Ericsson (2011) emphasize that the psychology of motivation is also characterized by the fact, according to which the problems of choice, freedom, will, control over motivation, life objectives, prospects for the future, self-regulation come to the fore.…”

The article is devoted to the study of the main purpose and features of increasing the students’ educational motivation atthe tertiary educational institution (TEI) in times of urgent need for a total overhaul of the educational paradigm and principles of teaching not only at higher educational establishment but also in the Ukrainian education system as a whole. During the investigation the methods of interdisciplinary approach, system analysis, social-cultural method, social-activity and concrete-historical approach have been applied. An important practical conclusion from the results obtained lies in the fact that the effectiveness of the educational process largely depends on the strategies of educational behavior, used by students. Accordingly, educators (and parents) should not only deliver educational material, but also teach students more effective ways and techniques for capturing it. For instance, the educator may recommend students to make a plan (or scheme) of the material studied or lend assistance to students in developing an individual plan for its mastering. Knowledge about the formation peculiarities of educational motivation at the tertiary educational institutions and personality’s value systems in the process of its professionalization can be used in the educational process to optimize the educational activities of students and improve training of specialists. The obtained results make it possible to clarify the subjective criteria for the effectiveness of students’ learning. Knowledge about the content of the value system of the modern student’s personality and its manifestation in the motivation of educational activity is of practical importance both in terms of self-knowledge and human development, and in terms of organizing professional university and postgraduate training. In the course of investigationit was possible to clarify and specify the theoretical ideas about motivation as a structural-level education, torepresentideas about the values that reflect the attitude to activity as a tool of meeting individual development needs, and their impact on the motivation of educational activities. The motives’ conceptof personal educational activity and values of students at tertiary educational institutions as psychological parameters of professional activity, requiring correlation with life objectives, have been highlighted.

“…Their dissatisfaction which stems out of huge disparity in pay with their colleagues in the same organization likely make them feel, perhaps, they are in the wrong job or place. This can lead to a high turnover rate, especially when a huge number of employees do not qualify for employment rewards (Wenzel, Krause, & Vogel, 2017). Organizations experiencing high employee turnover are likely to experience an increase in the cost of human capital.…”

“…Similar to bonus, Profit-sharing PRP schemes focus on the overall organizational performance. Employees are guaranteed a share of the profit when the company surpasses a preset profit margin (Wenzel et al, 2017). Unlike other PRP schemes which reward individual performance, this scheme encourages employee collaboration across all levels, employees are motivated and aware of their inability to meet individual performance targets will cost other employees additional income.…”

“…This is similar to Kampkotter (2017) findings which established that employees work behavior under pay for performance changed significantly and were more focused on accomplishing individual performance goals. PRP schemes have been critical in aligning employee-organization service quality and values (Wenzel et al, 2017). Employee reward schemes focus on quality performance and this has pushed employees to give their level best in every task entrusted to qualify for any of the attached performance-related benefits.…”

Performance-based pay system acknowledges employee dedication and nurtures a high-performance culture which is important for both short-term and long-term organizational success (Allen, Whittaker, & Sutton, 2017). In the past, the government had a great say in employee salary and remuneration. Wages were negotiated and influenced by government regulation (Hegewisch & Filella, 2017). In those days, productivity and profit played no significant role in influencing pay increase. However, things have changed and productivity significantly influences pay increase and job promotion. This study was conducted on two dominating Saudi Arabian companies: Saudi Telecom Company (STC) and Saudi Electric Company (SEC), to investigate the impact of PRP on the performance of the employees in the two industries. The research was conducted on 141 employees in both companies (n=141). The sample was comprised of 131 departmental employees and 10 supervisors. The investigation used a mixed methodology approach where both interviews and questionnaires were applied in the collection of data and SPSS was used to test the main hypothesis. Additionally, various credible sources were used in collecting information on studies conducted previously on PRP by other researchers. The results collected during this study proved that PRP has minimal impact on the performance of the employees, but it works effectively as an employee control system; the system acts as a motivational system but issues like favoritism, lack of team work and clear definition of performance standards prevent the system from being effective. The main limitation of the study, was the time constraint that prevented more respondents from being interviewed. Hence, the interpretation of the results should not be over generalized.

“…Motivation is generally divided into two categories: intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation stems from one's desire to perform a task for its inherent satisfaction, whereas extrinsic motivation is defined as performing a task due to an external control such as achieving a reward or avoiding a negative consequence (Ryan and Deci, 2000;Wenzel et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2019). In medical education, there are many intrinsic and extrinsic factors that motivate students (Kunanitthaworn et al, 2018;Ommering et al, 2018;Pace et al, 2018;Rockich-Winston et al, 2018).…”

Motivation to Learn Neuroanatomy by Cadaveric Dissection is Correlated with Academic Performance

Implementing educational activities, such as a wet lab with cadaveric brain dissection, is known to have a direct impact on medical students' motivation. These activities demonstrate the clinical relevance of concepts taught in the classroom setting. The correlation between motivation and academic performance is not clear. First year medical students participated in wet lab activities. The wet lab included cadaveric dissection of the surface and internal anatomy of the brain, as well as discussions facilitated by the neuroscience faculty and clinicians. Discussions were centered around the clinical relevance of the neuroanatomical features dissected during the wet laboratory activities. Following completion of the laboratory activities, students completed a survey, which was used to assess the students' motivation for learning neuroanatomy based on the Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction (ARCS) model of motivation. These results were then correlated with performance on a laboratory examination that tested three‐dimensional and cross‐sectional knowledge of neuroanatomy and practical skills including the use of imaging techniques. The total mean score of motivation was generally high for all categories of ARCS model of motivation (4.26/5) and was highest for Relevance (4.46/5). When these results were correlated with students' performance on the lab examination, a positive correlation between students' motivation and lab examination scores was found (R2 = 0.877). Implementation of the neuroanatomy cadaveric dissection lab led to increased student motivation, which was positively correlated with students' academic performance. Clin.
