Case of employee motivation

1. What, according to you, were the reasons for Rohit's disillusionment?

Answer the question using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Ans. According to me Rohit’s disillusionment is due to his high esteem in new

company. He was very enthusiastic and like to do innovative thing in his job. Even
he was appreciated for his work in his previous company. He has expected that in
Apex computer he will get chance for better performance because Apex computer is
fast growing multinational company and he had thought that he would learn more
and get chance to have more exposure.

In his previous company Rohit was getting motivation to do new things.

His boss was never interrupting in his work and appreciate the new ideas which
they have bring. His boss allow him to make mistake and learn from his own
mistake. In this way Rohit was enjoying very much his last job. He has expected the
same things in his new job, but he found that the situation is almost opposite in his
new job. In his new job he was not motivated for bringing new ideas. His subordinate
tells that their boss doesn’t bother about their involvement in their job. They were
just expected to do what they have been told to do. All the decision are only taken by
their boss. They were not involved into any level of decision making process. In his
new job Rohit has to do mechanical work without any personal involvement.

So here the main reason for Rohit’s disillusionment is lack of motivation

and appreciation.

According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need theory Rohit was in the third stage of
hierarchy. He was physiologically satisfied, safe and probably emotionally well. So
he want to enter in the fourth stage of maslow’s hierarchy of need. But in this
achievement he was not satisfied with his status. He was disappointed with his job
and his performance declined.

2. What should Rohit do to resolve his situation? What can a team leader
do to ensure high levels of motivation among his/her team members?

Ans. According to me Rohit should try to work with the same enthusiasm and
should talk to his boss regarding his problem. It is better to bring in notice of his boss
about the present situation of his colleague. The staff is not enjoying their work and
they have become mechanical in doing their work. This kind of environment doesn’t
help organization to grow. It doesn’t improve the efficiency of the employee. If
employee get motivation then there is better chances that output is more productive.

If his problem doesn’t get solved then it will be better to leave the job for Rohit,
because in this kind of environment he is ruining his own career and efficiency. It will
be better to have a less salary rather than doing just mechanical work.

The role of team leader is very well explain in this case by the example of
Mr. Suresh Reddy, Rohit’s previous boss. The leader should constantly motivate his
subordinate for their small achievement. They should be given enough opportunity to
work without interruption and to learn from their own mistake. This will help to bring
out the best performance from your subordinate. Motivation is very important for
employee in an organization to involve them actively in their job. It is better for the
company and for employee’s personal development also. Even it helps to retain
your valuable employee even though there is better opportunity. In this case Rohit
would not suggest any of his previous colleague to join his new company. This way it
improves the company’s reputation from work environment point of view.
