Part 1

Working with Library Resources and Article Summary

For this discussion, post your answers to the following questions for the class at large. Do not post just to the small team your instructor has assigned you to. This will give everyone the opportunity to share articles that might be helpful to others in the class. You will then use the smaller group discussion area for the second unit discussion regarding Theories of Motivation.

• What was your experience working with library resources to help you find current and useful articles on occupational health and safety as well as team motivation and performance?
• What did you learn about library searches?
• Which article was most applicable to the case study and why?

Provide a brief annotated summary of the article that will be most helpful to this case study on occupational health and safety through team motivation.

Use at least one scholarly source in your post.
