Midterm Case Study: Motivating Employees
Due Week 5 and worth 300 points
Imagine that you have been appointed the Director of Health at the Kaluyu Memorial Hospital in Nairobi,
Kenya – a for-profit hospital. The facility is also a referral hospital and receives severe cases of accidents,
chronicle / communicable diseases, and houses an HIV / AIDS ward. As you settle into your position, you
realize that the employees always act scared as they approach their superiors. Some of the employees
even deliver files and leave your office in a hurry.
As you make your routine departmental visits, you realize that there are tensions between nurses and
doctors, and there is a sentiment that the nurses tend to do the majority of the work within patient care but
the doctors get all the credit. You realize that the employees are always looking forward to the end of their
shifts to go home. Some employees even come back to work wearing the same unwashed clothes as the
previous day. Too many employees are calling in sick, and many of them give weak reasons for their
tardiness.
There is also a sense that employees and nurses dominate other employees in similar positions. In
meetings and conference calls, some employees are always quiet and never participate. You notice that
people with families tend to gather and talk quietly on breaks. The new mothers working for the hospital
have to use bathrooms to pump breast milk for their infants and the refrigerators do not work well.
Looking at the financial statements of the hospital, you realize that the hospital expenses are higher than
the industry standard, and it makes losses year after year.

2. Choose Maslow’s, Herzberg’s, or McClelland’s model of motivation, and argue the primary
