budget to give her a bonus, so she approaches you and requests an extra day off, even though she is out of vacation days. She asks if she can take one of her sick days, even though the company doesn't allow that. Which of the following is correct? A. You should give her the time off, because Expectancy Theory says that you need to give people an expectation of a reward in order to motivate them B. You should give her the time off, because a Theory Y manager trusts the team C. You should give her the time off, becauseMcLelland's Achievement Theory states that people need achievement, power, and affiliation to to be motivated D. You should not give her the time off
My the way the question is put I will assume you are her manager and as a human being it is great that you feel the need to reward her for her performance, however, there is a reason a policy is made and that is to ensure that everyone gets treated equally or otherwise there will be a double rule system which can break the entire eco system of the company.
Talk to the HR or the higher ups and see if a solution can be worked out, perhaps a special employee of the month or year award can be introduced in your company that gives out small rewards based on performance and other factors. There are a few more solutions that can be worked out but it is better if you can sit down and have a talk with HR and/or the higher management to see if something can be introduced because when the employee feels that he/she is not being rewarded/recognized enough, then you can expect that employee to start sending resumes to other companies or develop a negativity in their minds that may affect the work atmosphere in the long run.
D. You should not give her the time off, to NOT break the company policies even though rewarding the top performance's member. In that case, my duty is looking to reward her with an approved method by the company, and I must insist on finding the reward for her because she deserves it.
Having spent 10 years in construction in the UAE I would suggest that if she has performed extremely well she has already worked many additional hours to her contracted hours. On this basis I would agree to her request but make it cleat that it will not set a president. This could also be used to motivate other staff but carries the risk that others will perceive they are also due an extra day off.
My experience tells me that happy teams work better.
Since, she is one of the top team member that means she is aware of the company's protocol.well she can be definately conveinced about such situations. It is also important to reward someone performing and for that as well there are several ways to reward her .Now coming to the context she can't take an extra day off because it is not in my hands, if i do it will be a monopoly but i will promise her to give her weekly day off as she wants and will conveince her that on any upcoming days i will be giving her a gift as a reward.
Answer: DExplanation: You must always follow your company's policy - it's your ethical duty as a project manager. You should find some other way to reward her that is not against your company's rules.
i will not give her the time off because of the compagny policy but i will find with HR departement a way to reward her, respecting company rules and fairness
Option D, because a day off is not a quantifiable means of reward and may create conflicts between team members and stray off HR policy.
walet of my pokect because if the team members are achive succes and secure the top positions then it mean to work hard and beat the compition and try to secure the top position as secure by other & if i have money in my walet to give such an a nice treat to that employees who securing the top position to asked for the securing succes and getting the potion of top & try to share some knowlege and gain some thing to that treat to how to work hard and seeking work experience and securing the positon of becoming top of the top.
