Read the What Would you Do? box titled "'Shooting' Employees with Motivation." As you read the content of the box consider the ethical and motivational concerns that could arise when analyzing an organizational culture.

1. Would you be concerned about using the preliminary scientific results on shooting motivation to help this organization find alternative ways of motivating employees? Why or why not?

2. Can you dictate fun in an organization? If so, how? If not, why not? Is there a difference between organic fun and prescripted fun? Do you think managers can install culture in this case, shoot motivation from the top down? Should they?

3. In the context of a general economic downturn, wage stagnation, and in the absence of real material rewards, how can leaders inspire and motivate a positive work environment? What tools and resources might be productively deployed toward that end?
