An Integrated Model of Team Motivation and Worker Skills for a Computer-based Project Management Simulation

In this paper, I shall propose an integrated model of worker skills and team motivation for a computer-based simulation game that can be used to provide experiential learning to students. They can act as project managers here without being burdened by the costs and risks associated with unsuccessful...
