Arnold self-luminous is the Director of Human Resources at Company XYZ, in the same industry as Company ABC. hindquarters Chaplin has recent joined Company XYZ as Human Resources Manager. A recent graduate with a major in Organizational Behavior, he presents newborn ideas to Bright almost everyday. But, Chaplin has a speech disorder. He stammers, and cannot make himself clear at all times. A week back, Bright and Chaplin began to argue about employee motivation. Bright certain Chaplin that their company has the budget to enhance employee motivation with the best motivation sweetener class in the industry.He was referring to the use of Company ABCs motivation sweetener design for its employees. Company ABC happens to be a leader in the industry, after all. Yet, Chaplin asserted that Company XYZ should develop its own employee motivation enhancement program with new research on the needs of employees at Company XYZ in particular. The argument turned into a dispute because Bright refused to agree with Chaplin. The latter was endanger that he would be fired if he fails to follow Brights instructions to instrument Company ABCs program. The ProblemChaplin would lose his suppose if he does not agree to implement Company ABCs program for employee motivation enhancement in Company XYZ. He knows, however, that his boss has an accordant personality. Thus, Chaplin would like to provide further information to Bright. He firmly believes that Bright has to be explained why it is best for Company XYZ to develop its own employee motivation enhancement program based on new research on its employees needs. After all, Chaplin is aware of latest research in the field of Organizational Behavior. Should Company XYZ implement Company ABCs motivation enhancement program?Organizational behavior theories are known to differ as to what motivates employees, but not needfully because the essential characteristics of all employees are varied across organizations and industries. Rath er, the motivational needs of employees differ from organization to organization because get around work situations, ethics and settings, in addendum to their interaction with individual personalities, teams, and managements call for divers(prenominal) employee needs to be prioritized. Employee motivation is simply referred to as an organizational method to satisfy employees in areas where they feel unsatisfied.Whereas inadequate health and safety conditions might be the Number One challenge to encounter in Company ABC, it is possible that the employees of Company XYZ would be more cause by higher salaries. Moreover, the employees of Company XYZ may hold a collective opinion that their working conditions are the best in the industry. Given that job action is a function of ability and motivation, it is appropriate to inquire into the needs of workers in order to employ the correct mix of employee motivation strategies to boost job performance, company-wide (Employee demand).As an example, the employees of the Piketon Research and Extension Center and Enterprise Center were asked about the main motivating factors at their particular workplace. According to research findings, the employees believed themselves to be motivated by the following in the order of importance a) interesting work, (b) good wages, (c) full appreciation of work done, (d) job security, (e) good working conditions, (f) promotions and growth in the organization, (g) opinion of being in on things, (h) personal loyalty to employees, (i) tactful discipline, and (j) sympathetic help with personal problems (Lindner).Contrary to these findings, a peer reviewed study on employee motivation run aground that most employees across various organizations believe the following to be the chief motivators at the workplace enjoyment of the work work/life balance get satisfaction link between pay and performance and adequate staffing levels (Katcher). Thus, it appears essential to increase employee m otivation only after inquiring into the main motivators in a specific organization.Also within a single organization, the blue collar workers are expected to be more motivated by an increase in pay, composition the white collar employees might believe that enjoyment of work is most essential. In this case, the organization would have to divide up its employees in two separate sorts to inquire into the particular motivators for the blue collar workers as opposed to the white collar employees.It is best, therefore, for employee motivation strategies to be based on group by group studies. Chaplin should write a memorandum to Bright with latest research on the subject. It is possible that the latter has misunderstood Chaplin because of his speech disorder. Chaplin knows that Company XYZ has the budget to conduct new research on its employees needs to enhance their motivation.He should also mention in his note to Bright that implementation of Company ABCs employee motivation program ma y possibly waste the resources of Company XYZ. After all, it may very well be that employees at Company ABC have a different set of needs altogether. So, even though Company ABC is a business leader, Company XYZ should refrain from blindly following its programs without a scientific doubt into its own business processes and workplace culture.
