Besides, he advocates teamwork and assigns clear responsibilities and tasks to the team. Praise and money are rewarded to the team for the successful completion of the assigned tasks. In the beginning, employees are more motivated and often work overtime to complete tasks and get rewards. But later, his employees are extremely dissatisfied with his challenging goals and ambitious agenda for the team, arguing that the boss is exploiting them with tricks. In addition, Mr. Robert, a member of the team, complains about the "social loafing" phenomenon in the team and proposes to his boss that different rewards are needed for different contributions and performance.
