Agya Kofi has been a clerk in a business firm for over a decade. He feels that he has been doing his job efficiently. However, the promotion to a supervisory position, which he has been expecting, has never materialized. He feels sad about it, and a little angry with his manager, Roselyn, who is responsible for promotions
Agya Kofi feels that a deserving promotion has been denied to him and he attributes it to the fact that Roselyn belongs to a community different from his. This feeling has gone to such an extent that Agya Kofi has become somewhat negligent in his work. He keeps a book of poems which he quietly reads in the office in moments of dullness. He has even begun to write poems, a practice of his university days, and now he does so even in his office occasionally and delights in it. He even thinks of giving up his clerical job and imagines himself sitting in a chair of the sub-editor of a magazine which has published two of his poems using his nickname.

She was transferred to this new division due to several complaints on her behavior and performance by her last supervisor. The company thought it would be a good idea for her to do something different. Recently, she had a face-to-face discussion with her current manager where she said that the unrealistic targets were the reason for her underperformance. The manager, however, noticed that all the other team members were achieving their targets and sometimes were even achieving more than the set numbers. Not trying to be biased in his assessment, her manager had looked up Megan’s past performance for the last 5 years as well, which shows very minimal fluctuations when compared to her current situation. Using the attribution theory as your basis, analyze Megan’s situation in detail in your effort to decide the cause of her observed behavior.Eugene is a piano tuner. With his job, every day is different. Sometimes, he works Saturdays and Sundays. Other days, he may not work at all. He is free to schedule his time as he wishes. He may tune a piano for a record company on Monday, and then go to another company to tune at least four more pianos. His job doesn’t challenge him. But that’s okay, Eugene loves being a piano tuner. When asked why he does what he does, he answers, “Because I want to hear good sounds. It’s not rocket science!” Based on the above scenario, Eugene's job can be considered: low on task significance and high on autonomy low on task significance and low on autonomy high on task significance and high on autonomy low on autonomy

He will work for money and will not hesitate to change jobs if the pay is higher. He works very hard for the company, but he also expects the company to work for him. He has no problem working a 60-hour week at his current job if he is financially compensated for it. Despite having a family and supporting his sick sister, he once quit a job because his boss refused to give him a raise because he was already making too much money. He is extremely passionate and driven. A supervisor at his previous job stated that, while Berlin did an excellent job for the company, his personality was so intense that they were glad to get rid of him. His former boss observed that Berlin seemed to be constantly pushing. If it wasn't for more money, it was for better perks; he never seemed to be satisfied. Discuss how you will use non-monetary incentives to keep Berlin interested and motivated.GJ Company was founded by two friends, Gerry and James. It engages in administrative and sales functions of the business while Gerry the repair of automobiles. James handled the managed the shop. There are five mechanics in the shop who worked well under Gerry's supervision. Gerry encouraged a friendly atmosphere, allowing men to participate in deciding who would do a specific task on a given day. Everyone was satisfied because each was doing what he wanted them to do. Work was well done and always on schedule. However, a time came when there were a lot of job orders that could not be finished on time.

Gerry was also told to be more strict and less friendly to the mechanics. Gerry did not agree with James and decided to leave the partnership. James got a new manager, Carlo, to replace Gerry.

- You have an employee that has been there for 14 years and has never been promoted to co-lead or supervisor. He came to you and wants to know why? He is an older worker and knows what he is doing, however, one of your co-leads told you that some of the younger workers grumble that he is too slow and can't learn new technology. He also stated that unless he gets the opportunity to move up, he'll quit and make sure that management knows you never gave him a chance. Finally, there is a brand new worker, a single mother, who is super sharp and a very hard worker. She told you on your first day there how much she loves working at the company and wants to progress upward. However, childcare is an issue and sometimes she needs to leave early. Currently no one does any work from home (your organization has not embraced it as a culture), however, in her position (she is inventory control) she feels she can perform this just as effectively from home several days a week and ask you if this is…Samuel is in his mid 40's and has worked for Andres Enterprises for almost 20 years. Samuel has seen the enterprise grow from just over 20 employees when he started to work for the enterprise to over 200 today. Even though Samuel has been promoted over the years and his responsibility has increased, he has recently become worried about his future at the enterprise. This has something to do with his uneasiness in the use of computers. For the past five years, this was not much of a concern since computers were not used in any HR applications. But with Internet gaining so much popularity especially in its application in the field of HR, Samuel is starting to be restless. He feels he is no longer young to learn the new technology aside from the fact that he is having a hard time understanding the system. Because Samuel is so far behind his colleagues when it comes to using the new technology, he is shy to ask for help. To make matters worse, a memo was issued by the head of HR informing…Samuel is in his mid 40's and has worked for Andres Enterprises for almost 20 years.
