1. Two friends Ava and Val work at a big department store alongside two different supervisors. Avas supervisor assigns her the same kind of work for days as she believes that practicing the same thing over and over again leads to mastering it well. Ava is being de-motivated by doing the same work every day.

At the same time Vals supervisor takes care of his employees interests and assigns them different tasks on weekly basis. The outcome of this practice is that his employees are motivated and satisfied with the work assigned to them. They welcome change are seen to be more enthusiastic towards the work.

It is also observed by the employees that Avas supervisor is biased towards his employees. She provides incentives to those who sweet talk her and get her gifts. She is not flexible about lunch breaks and expects employees to take shorter breaks even though they are entitled to a full 45 minute break.

On the other hand Vals supervisor motivates his employees by giving them clear goals but also presenting an opportunity to be flexible and responsible to complete certain task without interfering. There is bonus for goal achievement.

Explain with the help of expectancy theory the difference in motivation in case of Val and Ava. Also point out specifics and how the theory applies to those factors.

2. A manufacturing company provides jobs for many people in a small town where employment is not easy to find. The company has stayed in the town even though it could find cheaper workers elsewhere, because workers are loyal to the company due to the jobs it provides. Over the years, the company has developed a reputation in the town for taking care of its employees and being a responsible corporate citizen.

The manufacturing process used by the company produces a by-product that for years has flown into the town river. The by-product has been considered harmless but some people who live near the river have reported illnesses. The by-product does not currently violate any anti-pollution laws.

What socially responsible behaviour should the company exhibit and what strategy should the company adopt in response and why?
