question 18

Essay

TruLite is managed by Fred Powell. It has three stages of production: (1) light fabrication, (2) switch assembly, and (3) boxing. Chris Self works in the switch assembly department. He is productive and seems to work hard. Powell decides to change Chris Self's pay system to a performance system based on output per hour. Chris resists the change and asks for increase in his base pay. What is Chris Self's problem? Is he irrational or does he understand something about the production system that Fred Powell does not understand?
