Exit interviews are an extremely important and useful tool for managers. Proper exit
interviews are an excellent opportunity to learn about both the strengths and weaknesses of
the manager and the organization, to help understand how best to satisfy and retain
employees. Managers know they should do exit interviews but so often when someone
resigns they are focused on finding a replacement and figuring out a transition strategy with
their team, while also managing their busy workloads. This makes connecting with HR to
have an exit interview completed before they leave a last priority. Once that person walks out
8
the door, managers believe that theyve missed their opportunity; in fact, it is actually more
beneficial to do an exit interview after some time has passed.
8. Why should an employer pay an employee? State at least five factors. (Marks-5)
It is commonly said that pay is the greatest motivator. There is no denying that an employer
should pay because he is buying time of an employee. But he must also consider that the pay
to be offered should be good enough to motivate the employee, develop loyalty to the
company, and be commensurate with market standard and, also, a reward for performance.
On the other hand, pay to be offered ought to be cost-effective.

14. What do you understand by Job analysis? (Marks-10)
Job Analysis is a process to identify and determine in detail the particular job duties and
requirements and the relative importance of these duties for a given job. Job Analysis is a
process where judgments are made about data collected on a job.

Job analysis is the foundation for all assessment and selection decisions. To identify the best
person for the job, it is crucial to fully understand the nature of that job. Job analysis provides
a way to develop this understanding by examining the tasks performed in a job, the
competencies required to perform those tasks, and the connection between the tasks and
competencies.
Information from a job analysis can also be used to determine job requirements, training
needs, position classification and grade levels, and inform other personnel actions, such as
promotions and performance appraisals.
15. What is the recruitment policy for low paid RMG workers of Bangladesh?
(Marks-10)
Their recruitment system is outright hiring and firing as they do not get any appointment
letter and identity card of the factory, they can be dismissed by owners for any reason at any
time. They do not know anything their job contract. Being maltreated by owners and mid-
level officers, working long hour in congested environment without sufficient rest, lack of
nutritious food, medicine, right to legitimate protest against ruthless exploitations, etc. are
their daily destiny. Factory building collapse, fire accident, stampede render many dead and
injured. Nevertheless, if any worker protests against owners and management, he/she
threatened by various types of harassment such as dismissal, arrest or even physical assault
by the hired hooligans of owners. That is how the workers treated and that is the recruitment
policy of them.

2. Difficult for manager to identify the need level for employees- There will be some
difficulty for managers in deciding which need level employees are on, and this
might curb the motivation of employees at the workplace.
3. The Most Powerful unsatisfied Need provides the most motivation- This is often due
to the fact that different individuals are driven to satisfy different needs at a certain
time.
4. Basic Needs may not need to be satisfied to acknowledge higher needs- Based on the
theory, we assume that if an individual that is lacking in basic amenities or in a
questionable working environment, he/she will never unlock the higher needs in the
hierarchy.
