Abstract
Organizational culture shapes workplace dynamics and employee relations. Leaders contribute to this by setting the parameters for behavioral expectations and modeling them. In this pilot study, it was hypothesized that a motivational email would increase job satisfaction and increase completion rates of clinical notes. Pretest posttest T-tests were performed to determine significant differences between scores in the experimental and control group. The results indicated a significant difference in job satisfaction when receiving a positive motivational email. The completion of clinical notes increased and there was a significant difference in completing clinical notes when receiving a positive motivational email. The findings of this study aligned with the current literature available on the topic of employee job satisfaction. Using these findings to make shifts in the way an organization operates and provides a positive work environment for their employees will yield happier employees who have a higher level of performance.
