Reason: Using fear demotivates employees and causes them to have the wrong reasons to work. However, when positive reinforcement is involved, it makes employees more open and willing to work hard. Fear causes employees to actually make more errors than if not using fear, compared to the previously thought notion.

Evidence:
"demonstrating strong ethics and providing a sense of safety" --> was chosen by 67% of respondents in a study that it was the most important aspect of leadership

Reason:  Fear makes employees feel put down, and discourages growth in employees. This is because empowering employees with compassion makes them have more trust in the team, and allows a healthy work place environment that motivates the individuals want to grow.

Evidence: According to the article "Good leaders don't give advice- they coach"  by Ian Burke, a good manager should give constructive feedback with compassion,  even when criticising, as otherwise employees will feel put down, preventing motivation for growth.

Both need to finish a creative work, the first group who always fear that they could not get the prize is averagely not good as the group with no money prize.]]> 2021-03-12 01:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvia_k_l_hon/icjacf3xns0ghogd/wish/1300891639 https://padlet.com/sylvia_k_l_hon/icjacf3xns0ghogd/wish/1300892256 Stance: Compassion and clear communication of goals, rather than fear, is the best way to motivate a team.

Reason: People usually fear the punishment from the leader. So team members will work harder to avoid being punished
Evidence: Expectancy Theory - Punishment is unfavorable and usually people would like to avoid it. They will have a expectancy that they will no longer receive punishment if they work hard enough]]> 2021-03-12 01:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvia_k_l_hon/icjacf3xns0ghogd/wish/1300894214 https://padlet.com/sylvia_k_l_hon/icjacf3xns0ghogd/wish/1300895925 Stance: Not the best one
Reason:
- inject negativity even when aiming for doing something good, there could be some risk
- many alternative approaches, why must we use fear
- the alternative like power motivation is even better
- bring less negativity --> less risk of demotivate the team; worst case: ineffective
Evidence: Power motivation theory
According to this theory, some people are motivated by prestige and power. They want to make an impact and motivate those around them.
