The Effects Of Metacognitive Listening Strategy Instruction On Esl Learners' Listening Motivation, Corbin Kalanikiakahi Rivera
Theses and Dissertations
Prior studies looking at the effects of listening strategy instruction on motivation have shown there to be a positive correlation between the two.

Motivation Strategies For Improving Consistency In Live-Entertainment Employees' Performances, Anthony G. Ricotta
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The lack of discrete motivation strategies to improve the consistency of employees' performances was the problem that instigated this research.

Data were collected within an international live-entertainment company to uncover whether artists self-determined the approach to improving consistency in performance or whether consistency occurred from strategies developed by the ADs. Data were collected from face-to-face interviews with ADs and senior ADs and performance evaluations of employees, and then analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's data analysis …
