Motivating and Retaining Employees
Hey I really need help on this. It's due tomorrow morning and I have no absolute clue on where to begin because I suck at this class :(
PSY 272 Fall 2016 Homework Assignment #4 (45 points) Motivating and Retaining Employees Due: November 15, 2016 at 10:30am For this homework, you are hired as a consultant for Hummingbird Inc., an Indiana manufacturing company specialized in producing precision instrument and equipment. Your main task is to motivate and retain employees. When reviewing employee data from the last quarter, the HR manager of Hummingbird found that a considerable number of employees left the company. She also overheard a few others talking in the cafeteria about wanting to quit their jobs. She is concerned about employee morale and attitudes in the company and recruited you, an I/O consultant, to detect the problem and find potential solutions. Again, here are the employee statistics for Hummingbird: Sixty-two percent of its 1,200 employees are male and 87% are White. Fifty-four percent of employees are machine operators, 16% are engineers, 9% are managers, 19% are clerical staff, and the rest are janitors. On average, the employees have 7.35 years of experience at the current job. Nineteen percent of the employees have master’s degrees or higher, 21% have college or associate’s degrees, and the rest have high school or vocational-technical school degrees. You may want to factor some of these statistics in when analyzing the case. Integrate everything you have learned about theories and methods in I/O psychology this semester and answer the following questions. Think critically and creatively. Do not be bonded by my examples. 1. Detect the problems. Explain in detail what you would do to find out why turnover rate and turnover intention were high in the company over the past quarter. Include at least the following information: (1) what variables or constructs do you plan to measure, (2) how exactly would you measure those variables/constructs, (3) who would be your sources of information, and (4) what problem(s) may you identify. (14 pt.) Note . For (2), be specific. For example, do not just answer “I’ll do a survey.” Instead, describe how you want to design the survey, what questions you are going to ask, how you are going to implement the survey: e.g., In person? Online? On company bulletin boards? For (4), think about the differences between functional and dysfunctional turnover and various reasons for employee withdrawal behaviors. You can feel free to create hypothetical scenarios or add information if it would help you answer this question. There are many possible answers. 2. Use at least THREE theories in I/O psychology to explain possible reasons for the problem(s) that you have identified in #1. Think broadly. You can approach this case from many angles and may use theories from any chapter that we have covered so far. (14 pt.) 3. Based on your analysis above and what you have learned so far about motivation, job attitudes, and employee withdrawal behaviors, suggest at least THREE solutions to address the problems and to motivate and retain current employees at Hummingbird Inc. Make sure that your solutions are evidence-based and supported by existing research in I/O psychology. Provide at least one citation for each of your solutions—it should be either a theory in I/O psychology or an empirical study that demonstrates the effectiveness of a particular organizational practice/intervention. (14 pt.)
