Suppose you are the HRD manager for a large electric/ utility company. The quarterly report shows a 25% decrease in participation in management development programs over the same quarter last year. The number of managers employed by the company has not changed, and the company's profits have remained stable you already hold these programs in desirable locations off site (conference centre) and participating in these programs counts toward the employees' annual performance evaluation. Using your knowledge of motivation theory, suggest three possible reasons that could explain why participation rates are down. If, after investigation, those reasons turned out to be true causes, what night you are able to do to improve participation rates?
