The core phase of the motivation process that is not represented in this example is the employee receiving either rewards or punishments. There is no mention of Dan receiving any rewards or punishments in relation to his job search or tailoring his resume to the job requirements. The other three core phases are represented: Dan identified his need for job security and career growth, searched for a job that could satisfy these needs, and selected goal-directed behaviors by tailoring his resume and dropping it off in person at the human resource office.
