Task 3: Case Study Abdullah Ali was recruited as an executive manager in Oman Construction LLC three years ago. His role included performing duties relating to administrative work in the company. He was performing very well. In the performance appraisal 2017, he scored "1 - Excellent". The company has a rating scale of 1 to 5 (1 - Excellent, 2-Outstanding, 3-Acceptable, 4-Poor, 5-Not acceptable). Only those in the outstanding and excellent category are eligible for a salary raise. Due to increase of prices in 2018, total costs were increased and many job positions were terminated because of the economic problems. Those who stayed in the company were to handle different tasks to their usual workload. For Abdullah Ali, he was asked to add on other duties including procurement to his daily responsibilities. Because of his new responsibilities and work load, his performance reduced to "3 - acceptable" at the end of the year. On the other hand Abdullah Ali expects an increase in his salary.
