When Ron took over as a supervisor at Midway Machine Works, he found that the efficiency of workers was $50$ percent lower than the industry standard. After a systematic interviewing procedure, Ron concluded that all workers lack motivation to work hard as they have not received any appreciation for their work in the past. After a discussion with Tyler, the leader of a group in the plating department, Ron spent the next two days asking the workers some new questions about how they felt their abilities were used at Midway. Nearly every employee he spoke with expressed a frustration with being $$underutilized$.$
