Thus resulting in employees being unsatisfied with the management of the business which later could impact the businesses relationship with its stakeholder through the recession, however this strategy in the long run could result in employees not losing their jobs as BA are benchmarking their competition who significantly seceding in the recession without tarnishing its relationship with its employees. This could result in the business surviving and becoming less likely to end up like Woolworths and what happened to their employees. On the other hand, during a recession I believe BA would not damage its relationship with its stakeholders. A reason for which is customers, who can be seen as the most important stakeholder to any business would try to spend as less money as possible during a recession. So with this in mind the cost minimisation strategy employed by BA would mean that
This response likely had the added effect of offending their employee base by suggesting that their employees would utilize the program to steal from the company. This offense has the significant potential for lowering employee engagement and retention. Clearly, Company Q is not educated in how ethical conduct and social responsibility by a company can actually boost its profits. Their current position only serves to perpetuate the long lived consumer mind-set that companies are inherently dishonest and only have eyes on profit. It is unrealistic to believe that Company Q can instantly jump from their current posture to one of deep and meaningful social responsibility and corporate ethics.
It is too easy to assume that they are just not capable of performing any better. Usually it would mean that they are demotivated so you then need to look at why they might be feeling demotivated and what you can do to help to rectify this. The appraisal process should be used to get the employees point of view and discuss what each party could do to re motivate them and get an improved performance from them. These could include more training, improved working conditions or possibly solving employee disputes etc. You obviously cannot just give in to all demands an employee might make however and you have to discuss options in depth and try and find suitable outcomes to benefit both parties.
In the case there is a lot of evidence which indicates that management is not effectively motivating their employees and this is leading to a decline in productivity and profitability. One reason would be management is not giving employees proper incentives to raise their productivity levels and they are using a financial incentive plan with major flaws in its design (Scanlon Plan). Another reason would be the decline in suggestions that are submitted, at the programs height 305 suggestions were submitted. Now it has dropped to 50 a year showing that employees no longer feel like they are contributing successfully to the plant success. This is a major issue because feedback is an essential part of motivating a person and making them feel valued in the company.
There is no training program for them that state any reasons why the culture of the company relies on customer satisfaction. So in this case some employees may feel resentment for having to put so much effort into making their customer happy. For instance, some Nordstrom employees may feel that it is too difficult to meet the needs of some of their customers. Employees are expected to go out of their way, even to work long hours or beyond their hours to meet their customers’ needs, but they do not get compensated for any overtime. The environment for this employee could be very stressful and cause them to not want to put much effort into sales.
• If you allow your own preferences to dominate your work with people, you fail to perform to the standards set by the UK regulating bodies, they require workers to respect and promote people’s individual views and wishes. • To make the right response when there is a clash between your views and those of the people you are working for, you have to identify and understand your own views and values. • Lots of people are better suited to working for themselves which isn’t always about an inability to follow orders; it can be for many reasons exclusive per company/boss. • Own Values: you may be working shifts you don’t like, and not be able to do anything about it, events like these will lead to disagreements with how your boss sees’s things and how work is
She is more than capable of showing emotions, but she can be brought down due to the feelings of others. It is easy to see that some individuals are more motivated than others. “The self-efficacy theory developed by Albert Bandura holds that an individual’s belief that he or she is capable of performing a task is a complement to the goal-setting theory as it incorporates goals into the process. Higher efficacy is related to greater confidence, greater persistence in the face of difficulties, and responding to negative feedback with working harder, not shutting down” (2011). Tara is not very engaged when working and does not enjoy talking out issues with co-workers and managers however, she is capable of managing her attitude in the work-place, very detail oriented, and comfortable with her work.
It is because of this cause, that the people are anticipating insolvency of the social security system. As people are getting more interested in these pensions and these policies, generated by the social security system, the output of each labor is not at all increasing. It is constant. This is because, they know, at the end of the day, they will be provided with proper funds and pensions. And hence, these employees are less interested increasing their own productivity.
In concern of the movement, not everyone is happy and Wall Street embraces deregulation, undoing many of the rules put in place in the wake of the Great Depression to limit banks’ riskiest investments. The limits on interstate banking are gone; down came the wall separating commercial and investment banks. Wall Street did not respect people; they had only themselves in mind how they could become richer and the common people poorer. Their virtues are in question, Wall Street should have a professional code of ethics these are the roles that are supposed to govern the conduct of members of their given profession. Which Wall Street did not have in place or this would have never happen.
Motivation relies on external factors, such as the promise of rewards and the incentive of personal gain, and as such, it is short-lived and unsustainable. Once fulfilled, the employees will replace their motivation with another form of dissatisfaction, and so on, in a never-ending cycle of want. The company ends up with a bunch of employees that are almost always unhappy and certainly rarely give a hundred percent. “Inspiration on the other hand comes from within – the desire to put one’s heart and soul into the company, not because of greed or what one could get out of it while still employed there, but because one has a sense of belonging to the place and a sense of achievement when the company succeeds. Inspiration therefore, is key to the company’s lasting success” (Anwar, 2008).
