Management Development Resources MDR8: Working with academic motivation and prestige

The Management Development Resources form part of the Advance HE membership benefits. These resources are available for members to download to use within their own institution.

Each Management Development Resource consists of an overall Facilitator Guide plus separate slides and handouts for each of the modules. This structure allows the user to tailor the slides and handouts to their own requirements.

As universities seek to be more efficient and effective, the need to understand and work with staff motivation becomes ever more obvious. This set of resources explores the motivations of academic staff, although many of the issues may apply to administrative and professional staff too. In particular it examines the ways in which prestige seeking can influence behaviours and outcomes.
