Abstract: 
The purpose of this study is to provide an engaging debate-style exercise to be used by college-level instructors of management, organizational behavior or leadership courses.This activity enables students to actively teach themselves benefits and drawbacks of four competing motivation theories: goal-setting theory, expectancy theory, equity theory and reinforcement theory.This debate-style activity has proven useful in both engaging students and increases the depth of their understanding of motivation theories.This exercise is an original exercise created by the authors to better teach the four theories of motivation.
