The topic of motivation in the workplace is becoming recognized as an issue of growing importance not just for employees, but also for organizations themselves. This book was born of an interest in the practical actions that can lead to an increase in staff motivation, rather than in the many and varied motivational theories which exist. Because of this I chose to undertake a behavioral analysis of a company which is not just a market leader in their own industry (consumer products) but which is also one of the most important and influential companies on a global scale; Procter & Gamble. As such, we will discuss the type of results which emerge from this company’s conduct and initiatives in regards to workplace motivation, paying particular attention to their in-house initiatives of Promote from Within and Diversity and Inclusion.The topic of motivation in the workplace is becoming recognized as an issue of growing importance not just for employees, but also for organizations themselves.

Decision making is a complex phenomenon which normally is deeply integrated into social life. At the same time the decision making process often gives the decision maker an opportunity for conscious planning and for taking a reflective stance with respect to the action considered. This suggests that decision making allows creative solutions with a potential to change the course of events both on an individual and a collective level. Given these considerations, we argue that in order to more fully understand decision making the perspectives of different disciplines are needed. In this volume we have attempted to draw together contributions that would provide a broad view of decision making. Much work has been carried out in the writing and editing of this volume. First of all we would like to thank the contributors for their efforts in producing interesting and important texts and for their patience in the editorial process. Each chapter was edited by two or three reviewers. These reviewers are listed on a separate page in this book. Our heartfelt thanks go to them for their time and for their incisive and constructive reviews! We are also grateful to the publishing editors at Kluwer Academic Publishers, Christiane Roll and Dorien Francissen, who have been generous with their encouragement and patience throughout the editorial process.
