Some people think that in order to solve traffic and transportation problems, people should be encouraged to live in cities rather than in suburbs or in the country side. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Hello! My name is Carmen and together with my colleagues Diana, Karolina, Laurentiu, Florin and Ionut, I am going to identify the problems in the case study provided (Brett Jones in Tanzania) and by applying theories we will try to present specific recommendations in

order

to try to solve them. Let us now move to the

third

and final category – Motivation and HRM. According to Edward Flippo, human resource management refers to “planning, organizing, directing, controlling of procurement, development, compensation, integration, maintenance and separation of human resources to the end that individual, organizational and social objectives are achieved.” Alan Price in his 4th edition “Human Resource Management” describes the behavioural science based

the early 1950’s on several popular theories

such

as Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which has been a great contributor to the study of the reasons why individuals are motivated to work and what is the

order

of the needs that they have to satisfy, from basic survival needs to more elevated ones, namely social, self-worth and self-actualization ones. Another basic theory on how to motivate employees and

satisfaction and dissatisfaction, which should not be viewed as opposite.

Instead

, he describes different sets of factors that influence both.

For example

, “hygiene factors” are those that eliminate dissatisfaction and they include establishing good company policies, providing support and non-invasive supervision, respecting the culture and dignity of all team members, making all work positions meaningful,

satisfaction and consider offering employees more opportunities for achievement, recognize each one’s contribution, skills and abilities, share responsibilities as accurate as possible, ensure training and advancement opportunities for those who deserve it. When dealing with high turnover rates

with

an important company

such

as Hydro Generation, which provides decent incomes, the managers should introduce incentives that can satisfy the employees’ higher needs in

order

to keep them motivated.

For instance

, to offer support and trainings (as most of them are unskilled and have been recruited on nepotism basis), give them challenges, make their work interesting when possible.

Moreover

, some of the employees have complained about the unorganized, flat structure implemented by Jones because they felt they needed someone in charge to guide and motivate them.

Therefore

, a more structured leadership style should definitely be enforced, as long as those leaders are able to offer more information about the tasks they are expected to accomplish and provide positive incentives to the workers, in

to ensure

job

satisfaction.
