Case study: Motivation Alice is a software project manager working in a company that develops alarm systems. This company wishes to enter the growing market of assistive technology to help elderly and disabled people live independently . Alice has been asked to lead a team df 6 developers than can develop new products based around the company's alarm technology Alice's assistive technology projed starts well. Good working relationships develop within the team and creative new ideas are developed. The team decides to develop a peer-to-peer messaging system using digital televisions linked to the alarm network for communications. However , some months into the project, Alice notice that Dorothy, a hardware design expert, starts coming into work late, the quality of her work deteriorates and increasingly , that she does not appear to be communicating with other members of the team. Alice talks about the problem informally with other team members to try to find out it Dorothy's personal circumstances have changed, and if this might be affecting her work. They don't know of anything, so Alice decides to talk with Dorothy to try to understand the problem After some initial denials that there is a problemn, Dorothy admits that she has ost interest in the job. She expeded that she would be able to develop and use her hardware interfacing skills. However, because of the product direction that has been chosen, she has little opportunity for this. Basically, she is working as a C programmer with other team members. Although she admits that the work is challenging, she is concerned that she is not developing her interfacing skills. She is worried that finding a job that involves hardware interfacing will be difficult after this project. Because she does not want to upset the team by revealing that she is thinking about the next projed, she has decided Figure 22.8 Individual that it is best to minimize conversation with them. motivation
