The system of organizational terms used for recording managerial activities in the field of team motivation

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present an answer to the research question whether the system of organizational terms (an original methodological concept in management science) can be a theoretical foundation to record managerial activities in the field of team motivation. To answer this research question, a non-participating, structured observation was used as a research method. The author was a moderator of this research. A mobile application was used as both a research tool and a time management tool by team managers and team members. As a result of the observation, the use of the system of organizational terms was verified as the theoretical background in recording managerial activities in the field of team motivation. The research results show the possibility of using the system of organizational terms to design mobile applications aimed at team management automation, which could make a significant contribution to management science in the future. In the presented research, two primary organizational terms were recorded: motivation and a motivating plan. The structure and values of their measured units are described in the paper in detail.
