Font Paragraph Styles There are three cases
Font Paragraph Styles There are three cases below. Read each and apply one of the three theories we discussed in Chapter 6 to this situation (expectancy, goal setting, or equity theory). When I say apply this theory, I mean EXPLAIN IN DETAIL (2-3 paragraphs) how you would use the principles of this theory to motivate the employee(s) in that particular case. Case study #1 Work Group You are a member of a four person work group that is responsible for marketing a new line of clothing. You are very concerned about the group's performance and its ability to successfully market the new line because you are up for a promotion and you know that the success or failure of the group will be part of your upcoming performance review. One of the other group members, Tim, is not doing his share of the task. He is just out of college and although very competent, seems more concerned with his social life than career opportunities. Another group member is very angry that Tim is not "pulling his own weight" and has refused to do any more than is absolutely necessary. Given your concern over the outcome of this project, what can you do to motivate the entire work group to successfully complete the project? Case study #2 Manager You are the manager of a small work group (5 employees) and have just been told that merit increases for the year may range from 2-4%, given the small profit margin for last quarter. As a manager, you would like to reward and motivate your "star" employees with compensation awards, but given the small range available, you are concerned that this may actually backfire and de-motivate your highest performers. What would you do in this situation? Case study #3 Floor Supervisor F Case study #3 Floor Supervisor You are the floor supervisor in a manufacturing plant and have just learned that the plant manager has committed to a 10% productivity increase by year end (just 2 months away) to keep up with global competition. You are concerned about the timing of this (overlapping with the holidays), the fact that many of your employees already feel overworked, and you are concerned that safety might be compromised to reach such a lofty goal. What would you do to motivate your employees and still maintain safety standards
