Essays on Vacations

The objective of this paper is to address to questions raised at the end of the captioned case study.

Question 1: Which motivation theory(s) do you think would help communicate the importance of vacation time to your employees?

Maslow’s hierarchy of need will help emphasise the need of being social and role of family in building intimacy and belongingness. The communication will work towards need creation in the employees mind to crave for family timing and time to retrospect.

The work is arguably one of the most important aspects of the lives of human beings. Yet, it may differ, person to person, and more importantly, it may vary across various cultures. The culture may determine, one's work etiquette, behavior norms and even schedule of the work.
