Why is it important to have job autonomy?
Getting a job that in lines with your passion may be enjoyable. It because you have a bigger chance to apply your mastery into practice. And there are many people out there who don’t have the same experience as yours in this case. A few people trying to look for the job, some are waiting to be called for interviewed and others are waiting to get hired.
You may also feel lucky since you were getting hired without making a big effort to get selected. You feel that you are a perfect-fit worker that the companies need. And It makes you even happier as you have been dreaming of working in that company for a long.
At first, all things seem running smoothly without defect. And you think it was a good starting point to show your best performance while working. Your expectation about being free to express yourself is becoming a priority to support your position. You believed that always makes you optimistic in the probation time.
But, high expectation about those things has ruined your career. You are getting inferior because you are not able to express your ideas, strategy, and implementation in your way. At this time, you are feeling the boundaries is so bold and holding yourself back from things you capable of doing. As you are not a strict person who always depends on a formula to do something, sometimes you feel difficult to follow the standard.
I think that as workers we all need more authority in doing job. I feel that the workers will have the potential to flourish when they can do things on their version. Some people think this is not the right way to do. It seems like ourself are arrogant and don’t need to listen to senior advice. But, that’s not a point I want to emphasize here.
Foremost, autonomy makes your job performance better than when you don’t have it at all. It is because by having such freedom to express the idea, the workers will much confident and optimistic. It also hinders job stress that may make them feel working under pressure. The point here is how to make yourself happy while doing your job.
Frankly, Nothing will gonna stop your effort to reach the goals as long as you are getting job autonomy in doing whatever you do.

Nowadays, people often thought that it is of great value to have a nuclear family instead of having an extended family. Raising up a small family is beneficial owing to the reduction of chaos and misunderstanding in the family , and it lowers the amount of money spent on tuition fees but there are drawbacks to be taken into account.
One major benefit of having a smaller family is that there will be few times when the family will experience misunderstanding amongst themselves which reduces a child’s tendency of being aggressive in the future. For instance, in 2015, UNICEF outcome in their research states that 70 percent of stubborn children are raised in an extended home. Additionally, the amount of money that is required to cater for a child’s education and the domestic needs will be minimal, thereby, saving up so much for the family. This will enable them to boost their wealth status in the society. Which is as a result of them having few financial responsibilities to deal with in the family.
On the other hand , a major issue with small family is that parent give so much love and care to their children because there are few of them. This will however lead to a child finding it so difficult to be independent when they become adult. This has often times led to a negative outcome in their adulthood. Another disadvantage is that small family reduces the success tendency in a home, because parent most times limit the children from doing what they love but instead what their parent expects of them.
In conclusion, while smaller family is advantageous to the society, people should be aware of the setback such as lack of independency children face when they become adult and their inability to decide for themselves in their personal life goal.

Question:
Some people think the best way to motivate people to work hard is to pay them based on how much they produce or sell. Do you agree or disagree? Include relevant example from your own
Answer
Owing to the indolence nature of humans, It is believed by some people that the most effective method of motivating people to work efficiently is payment based on their productivity and sales. This essay agrees with wages based on work done as individuals tend to work more to earn more; and improvement of sales is evident.
Firstly, Paying individuals in accordance with their productivity makes people work hard in order to earn well. This is because people desire a good pay and will do anything to earn it even if it means putting in extra effort and time. To illustrate, In Nigeria, Unilever factory workers are paid daily based on the quantity of their production. As a result, workers perform their work in their full capacity till exhaustion. Hence, wages based on work output is a reliable way of ensuring diligence and hard work at workplaces.
Secondly, wages that are dependent on sales give rise to development of better marketing strategies to improve sales. Employees will be encouraged to emulate better marketing and communications skills to advertise and encourage buyers to purchase goods because target must be met. For instance, When my aunt implemented salary based on sales strategy at her supermarket, 20% increased sales in the first month and 45% in the second market were recorded respectively. This is because of lesser pay when the sales is below the target and more pay when above the target. Therefore, payment that is based on sales gives rise to better performance of the employer and the company as a whole.
In conclusion, wages that dependent on productivity and sales is the best approach to ensure hard work, better performance and growth of the company as a whole.
