Section B
Question: 7

The reasons for not participating in the management development program are:

1. Employees should not receive positive feedback from the clock manager. Positive
reinforcement increases the frequency of the desired behavior, which has a direct effect
on individual attitudes and perceptions. A large number of employees can also participate
in this program.
2. Another reason could be that expectations of employee behavior are low. Low
expectations suggest that people will work less if they are not getting the results they
want, such as rewards. People try to lower the value of their accomplishments when the
results are not encouraging. As the problem shows, staff are unaware of the results of
including participation in development programs in annual performance reviews.
Therefore the participation rate is low. As they learn, the results will be different.
3. Another reason for not participating in a management development program can be to set
unstructured goals. The goals of a management development program may not be clearly
defined for all managers. The third manager is not allowed to pass the benefits of the
program on to other managers.
