team performance and motivation in project management

You are an experienced project manager working on a complicated IT project for a large public sector organisa-on, but your project team is failing to achieve important ac-vi-es on the project cri-cal path. Targets are being missed and you do not seem to be able to get the team to work together effec-vely and the project has been much delayed by lack of coopera-on. Part of the problem seems to be a key member of your team who is not performing. You have recently hired Jonathan, a 30 year old computer programmer to help get the project back on track. He is good at solving technical soYware problems but seems to find working in the team very difficult and his performance in terms of wri-ng computer code has become progressively worse over -me; and team members have complained about his aggressive and obsessive behaviour along with his un-diness and poor -mekeeping and insistence on ea-ng large quan--es of pizza and other food at his desk. He seems to lack mo-va-on and you may have to consider ending his employment. Using appropriate theories of team development, explain what may be causing the lack of performance in your team. In your answer you should suggest crea-ve solu-ons to the problem with the team. Also why might Jonathan lack mo-va-on? Discuss with reference to appropriate theory and case example; suggest ways in which Jonathan may be mo-vated. You will need to take the following into account when comple-ng your assignment. • Establishment of relevant theory; • Alloca-on of credit and sources used; (have I included references and cita-ons to the material I have used?); • Clarity of argument and relevance to the project management context • Overall report presenta-on including spelling and grammar; • Adherence to nominated word limit. This coursework should follow a structured approach and should be prepared and presented professionally. You should undertake a relevant literature review that helps inform your inves-ga-on. Please also ensure that the Harvard Referencing System is adhered to and fully complied with.
