BU288 Chapter Notes - Chapter 6: Absenteeism, Organizational Commitment, Telecommuting
Document Summary
If pay can fulfill needs then is it a good potential for a motivator. Fulfill a lot of needs high valent. Piece rate: workers paid certain sum of money for each unit of production: worker might get paid for every condom they produce. Most of times people are paid wage + piece rate. These are incentives to produce more products. Wage incentive plans: various systems that link pay to performance on production jobs. Employer will be like fuck this guy is too expensive. Small increases: hard to separate the good performers from the bad. Usually offered bonuses tied to profits of business. People pursue their own goals and agendas at the expense of fucking up groups and department/organization. Align employee goals with interest of those of organization: really good for smaller companies. If we focus on money then we only focus on extrinsic motivation. Job design: focuses on structure of the job/task of jobs/characteristics of job.
