Questions

1. If praising employees for doing a good job seems to be a fairly easy and
obvious motivational tool, why do you think companies and managers don’t
often do it?

Answer:

Often times, managers are socialized to “expect” good performance from

people; you often hear the phrase, they are paid for the work that they do, they
don’t need me to thank them for it. It is often inconsistent with the culture of an
organization to positively praise employees.

2. As a manager, what steps would you take to motivate your employees after
observing them perform well?

Answer:

Students should work in teams to generate lists of possible techniques,

rewards, and other mechanisms that may reinforce appropriate performance.

3. Are there any downsides to giving employees too much verbal praise? What
might these downsides be andhow could you alleviate them as a manager?

Answer:

The only downside is that people come to expect praise and recognition for
a job well done. If a manager begins this process, there is usually no retreat.

4. As a manager, how would you ensure that recognition given to employees is

distributed fairly and justly?

Answer:

Students can work in teams to generate lists of various ways that

recognition can be distributed across employees within an organization, have each
team report to the larger group

Case 5 Ans:

Because your company is a giant in the market and possibly many companies tries to get
bid of you because the new game project is a very big contract and many companies try
to approach you but it is very unfair that you get kickbacks from other companies and
does not tell the truth to the upper management. It is bad lying that management trust on
you and you are cheating on them. If management got the truth than they must fires you
and may be suit a case on you. The good approach is that tell the truth to the bosses and is
all up to them if they understand the deal than its okay otherwise deal got cancel. As a
manager it is my responsibility to be fair to your company and kickbacks are not
important to needs to be sincere to your company and to your bosses.
