The Problem .
Al is not satisfied with what is happening around him .
He is NOT HAPPY with the fact that the supervisors behave more like analysts than as
managers.
He is NOT HAPPY with the fact that the supervisors dont include the analysts while taking important decisions
on the work done by the analysts.
He is NOT HAPPY with the fact that higher management doesnt trust the work done by the analysts and in turn
tries to redo the work already done, hence wasting valuable time. This further dissatisfies the analysts in that
they are not being able to gain the confidence of the higher management.
He is NOT HAPPY with the fact that important decisions regarding him were taken without even consulting him or
taking him into confidence.
He is NOT HAPPY with the fact that there is too much unnecessary work pressure at the workplace.
He is NOT HAPPY with the fact that he thinks that all the supervisors are busy in competing with each other
instead of taking care of the immediate team they are responsible for.
Objectives .
Q1. Attempt a casual analysis of Al Ruskins behavior by making use
of an appropriate framework from behavioral sciences.
Q2. Suggest remedial measures and provide rationale for the same.
Personality traits .
Low job satisfaction Al definitely suffers from low job satisfaction. One of the
reasons is that the senior management doesnt trust the work of the employees.
They will sit down and double cross the work submitted to them. Lack of trust
has a negative impact on the employees.
The other reason given is that there is always a situation of crisis for every job
that
comes in even when its not needed.
Remedial measures .
Setting high expectations The managers currently does not trust the work
done by the employees. They re-evaluate the work submitted by the people. This
creates low morale among the people. The managers should instead create
an environment of high expectations from the employees. This
will motivate them to do better in their work.
