Mea & Sims (2019) presents the “Human Dignity-Centered” Framework that business leaders
can adopt to build an ethos of humanistic management. Using this conceptual framework,
examine one of the motivational theories (behaviorism, need-hierarchy, theory x & theory y,
two-factor theory, JCM, Equity Theory, expectancy theory, goal setting, or social cognitive
theory) listed in Cafferkey’s (2017) editorial on opportunities for further study (pages 79-81).

In your examination, discuss the ethical and legal foundations of this motivational theory,
examples of it found within Biblical scripture, and discuss how it fits (or doesn’t) with the
Human Dignity-Centered Framework.

This paper should draw on a minimum of ten substantial journal article resources and will be 10
pages in length observing all APA style conventions.

A good outline of your paper is as follows:
