The motivation situation at MRI Center would probably be considered
             above average by most employees, particularly in the current more work for
             the same pay' business environment. MRI Center mixes a combination of old-
             school motivators, including bonuses and gifts' such as golf days, with
             intrinsic' motivational methods. By and large, supervisors are not
             expected to berate subordinates; they are expected to treat them, even in
             challenging situations, with the same courtesy the entire staff is expected
             to extend to doctors and patients visiting the facility, no matter how

             However, it may not be done consistently enough; there is no specific
             training, and there is no specific format or group of formats to be
             followed. While it is nice to have leeway, perhaps setting a floor value

             efforts. Ventrice has noted not only that recognition is at the core of
             all effective employer-employee relationships, but also "it's a kind of

             Currently, it also appears that job satisfaction is an area in which
             more specific work might be done. Except for twice-yearly reviews, there
             is no way for managers to discover whether people are deriving
             satisfaction, as well as money and perks, from their jobs at MRI Center.
             Because it is a medical facility, it is apparent to most employees most
             days that they must present a cheerful disposition, whether or not they
             really feel that way. Adding some method of determining the satisfaction
             levels of employees would enhance the motivational atmosphere.
             Another motivator is found in confidence. If an employee fails at a
             task, sometimes even once, that employee might expe...
