Paper Abstract
This is a 5 page paper discussing motivational processes and the RCMP. Motivational processes used within corporate structures and within police structures are inherently different. Modern day corporate structures use motivational techniques which are based on rewards and increasing employee satisfaction which could range from increased responsibility, benefits, salary or more direct impact on actions and results of position duties. Within policing organizations however, such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Canada, organizations are based on hierarchical structures with a military base. Because of this, the traditional motivation by punishment can still seen in addition to the more recent motivation by reward. Increasingly, the RCMP organization has opened its motivational processes to include many psychological components of job satisfaction which include community participation to allow the members the opportunity to work outside of the traditional structured environment and see how relationships between the RCMP and the community can positively impact law enforcement which in turn motivates the member to succeed and remain with the Force. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
