Thank you for sharing your comments with fellow learners, it is really interesting to hear why you are interested in the course. This is a fascinating area within psychology and as we are all consumers, it affects us all! Welcome to the course.

Some great comments and interpretations, thank you, try and read as many comments as you can to see how other students view consumer psychology.

Hello,
I hope those of you who are still joining the course continue to gain greatly from all the materials and activities in Motivation in an Uncertain World. This topic is fascinating, so we hope you will enjoy studying with us and that the course allows you to evaluate some pertinent issues in the current times. -
Dr Anne Turner made a comment
Thank you for sharing thoughts on this discussion. Offering more than work itself? Some diverse and fascinating suggestions, please keep them coming.
-
As many of us have been enforced to work remotely during the current COVID situation, perhaps we will gain more insight around the topic than we would have under normal circumstances. It is great to read your thoughts on what you feel are important factors to working this way.
-
Trust? yes, interesting in this scenario

Dr Anne Turner replied to Mike Brouwer
Thank you for your comment Mike, I'm sure fellow learners will benefit from your suggestions

Great comments, thank you for sharing.

Dr Anne Turner replied to Ana Cisneros
Thank you Ana, interesting interpretations.
-
Dr Anne Turner made a comment
So far the majority of you agree! And thank you for commenting. It is interesting to view all your different perspectives regarding this topic
-
Thank you for the excellent comments. It does make me reflect on what is 'fun' at work. As some of you have commented, for me it can be a simple as having a sense of humour with colleagues regardless of generational differences!
-
That's a good point. Not every organisation can or will move at the same rate. Caution and observation are rarely a bad thing
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Kam Mak
Good to hear that the 'older' generation are seen as bringing their experience alongside being up to date with technology
-
Interesting perspective Kam, - 'normal' is so varied, but it seems we often adapt
-
Dr Anne Turner made a comment
Thank you for the positive feedback, we hope you continue to enjoy the course and please keep 'commenting', your insights and experiences that you bring to the discussions are fantastic and of great value to all who read them.
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Julia Smith
Some great points Julie. It is so true our CVs say we are great communicators and we so often forget! Perhaps this current COVID crisis will assist in us communicating better considering many of us have to now do it virtually.
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Maisie Cook
Thank you for that insight, Maisie, I hope that having reached this realisation you are now working in a organisation which provides this.
-
Dr Anne Turner made a comment
Thanks for the comments - some fascinating viewpoints
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Ian Moody
Indeed
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Ammar Kiwan
This is an interesting insight into your experience. You have highlighted that motivation can be decreased so easily.
-
Thank you for your responses to this section. Are we concerned about the way technology will change work as we know it? There appears to be positivity amongst the uncertainty from the information presented here - perhaps 'flexibility' also means 'adaptability' through learning?
-
Great points here. It will be fascinating to see how elements such as career progression will be affected by flexible working practices. Particularly if e.g. dedication and commitment are not as visible.
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Valerie Ooi Shiok Vern
These are some interesting points that you have highlighted, Valerie. There are pros and cons to flexible working and as you suggest flexible working can become less flexible when it is 'imposed' or blurs the lines between of your work/life balance.
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Jess P
I can relate to this comment, Jess. Interesting how we are able to reach out and communicate more effectively and broadly when we have to.
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Thant Zin Htut
That's a really good point - thank you
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Valerie Ooi Shiok Vern
@MAUDEWOENAMAMAFUGAR Thank you for highlighting this point - from someone who is always trying to keep up with digital natives!
-
That does appear to be the case, and for some, it has been imposed upon them rather than 'evolved'. Whether we come out as empowered or not will be interesting to see after we are back to 'normal'.
-
Dr Anne Turner made a comment
Some interesting articles here that I hope you found relevant and interesting and there appear to be some overlaps with your comments.
-
That's a valid point and seems to apply to the current crisis
-
Dr Anne Turner made a comment
It will be interesting to see if attitudes towards digital communications and technology have changed much after the current lockdown is over. Many people have had to adapt behaviours and their digital skills quickly to continue to work and communicate other than face to face. Perhaps we will appreciate and value face to face interactions more and using our...
-
Amanda, some great points of view. I hope this present pandemic will change things positively for situations like yours. Have a look at the literature around remote e-working in this course, I think you'll find it really relevant.
-
This is a valid point and one which the literature supports
-
Dr Anne Turner made a comment
Flexible working is an interesting topic and particularly in the current context of lockdown. The literature in this section highlights many interesting points and after we all return to 'normal', what the 'new normal' will look like in terms of flexible working is going to be fascinating. How much our current experience will shape flexible working in the...
-
A very pertinent point Dennis. Indeed flexible working can be (and often is) very different from the zero-hours contracts that are now commonplace.
-
Some interesting points that you make Samantha. It will be interesting times ahead after the current COVID-19 crisis and the workplace may be changed forever. Trust in employees - interesting how this may also change in terms of flexible working and productivity.
-
@DennisHall Hello Dennis, yes it is not about quantity so much as quality - I have enjoyed your comments as I am sure others have too. Please keep them coming, but don't feel obliged to add more than is comfortable. I will also take note of your comment. Thank you Dennis
-
You make some excellent, and may I say wise points here. Indeed, events of today will impact our future, so perhaps some consideration is required at each decision point.
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Jess P
Interesting viewpoint and useful to the discussion that you have been in two differing situations around change and restructuring.
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Lynn Downi
Hello Lynn, and welcome. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to jesse kwao
stories such as this make us reconsider many aspects of life and work! Often humbling.
-
Dr Anne Turner replied to Jess P
I think this is a really good point, finding the 'right fit' can come in many guises and I tend to agree that success can vary depending on individual perceptions of several factors.
-
Dr Anne Turner made a comment
Hello,
thank you for your comments, your insight is 'apparent' and valuable so please keep them coming.
