reflection:

Motivation is indeed important for every engineering organization because of the positive growth it brings. It induces employees to behave appropriately so that the goals and objectives of the organization are realized. Therefore, it should be the engineer manager's task to appraise their employee's hard work and giving them reasons on why they should remain working within the company in order to satisfy them in their respective jobs. It will be useful for us as engineering students to perceive the importance of motivating people in numerous activities to forge relationships between us and to create good results as well. With this, it is noteworthy to find strategies on how to maintain commitment levels between the members of an engineering organization.
