Application of Early Theories of Motivation
Weston has two very different first- line supervisors who report directly to him. Aaron really "cracks the whip" on his employees and firmly believes in strict controls and punishment for those employees who do not perform up to company expectations. Zach, on the other hand, has very few controls and believes that as long as people know what their objectives are, they will exercise self- control and self- direction. Aaron has been trying to use working conditions to increase the level of productivity in his department. Work conditions have not been very safe, and employees have complained frequently that they felt unsafe at work. However, when conditions were improved, employees were still not motivated. Zach had chosen to use responsibility and the opportunity for growth to increase his productivity levels, and he had been much more successful.
-Zach was using which types of factors to increase productivity levels?
