Motivating
Background
Do you think that, if employers could make work more like play, employees would be as enthusiastic about their jobs as they are about what they do in their leisure time? Let's see where this idea might take us.
Task
After reading the "Characteristics of PLAY," place a ? in column one for those characteristics you have experienced in your leisure time activities. Likewise, check column three for those "Characteristics of WORK" you have experienced in any of the jobs you've held.

Discussion Questions
1. What prevents managers from making work more like play?
2. Are these forces real or imagined?
3. What would be the likely (positive and negative) results of making work more like play?
4. Could others in the organization accept such creative behaviors?
