Organizational Behaviour - Motivations Systems

 

            A brief introduction into my workplace is required to effectively give a proper description of the motivational systems used. My workplace is a division of the federal government called Statistics Canada. The parallel for the United Kingdom is called "National Statistics" at www.statistics.gov.uk, as well the United States national statistical agency is called "The U.S. Census Bureau" at www.census.gov, which itself is a division of the United States Department of Commerce. My place of residence is in Ottawa, Ontario, located in the heartland of the Ontario peninsula. Located right on the border with Quebec it is the capital of Canada. Ottawa being the federal capital, but not the provincial capital, it has not only the federal legislature (our version of the House of Commons and Senate) but also the Supreme Court of Canada, all subservient to the Queen. Ottawa and the community located just across the river in Quebec called the Outaouais region have a total population that number just over 1,000,000 people. .
             Out of this 1,000,000 gross (including children), over 300,000 people work for the federal government. This has consistently been the leading employer of Ottawa's workforce for over 50 years. This just recently changed two years ago with the high-technology boom that swept Ottawa .These people can be employed in divisions of the federal government that include everything from National Defence to Revenue Canada to Natural Resources Canada to Statistics Canada. Located just to the west of the downtown core of Ottawa, Statistics Canada has a central office that employs over 4500 people. Located in the capitals of every province, Canada has ten, there is also a regional office that typically employ 50-100 people each. Statistics Canada, employing over 5000 people is one of the most respected federal institutions that Canada has. Aside from External Affairs, it is one of the most international agencies that Canada has with a prestigious reputation.
