The Job Redesign and Workplace Rewards
Assessment is a two-part project that asks you to assess the current state of your workplace environment in regard to how it motivates-or fails to motivate-employees to affect increased job satisfaction and workplace productivity.
1,750- to 2,100-word assessment focusing on a selected job or department in your company in regard to the system of goal-setting, performance evaluation, and workplace rewards that impact productivity, both positively and negatively, and job satisfaction, as related to the selected job or department. Address the following:
Identify the current major components, tasks, or responsibilities of the selected position.
Does the job currently allow any self-management or sense of choice?
Does the position cultivate a sense of intrinsic motivation?
Briefly discuss current company-wide rewards, such as bonus plans or profit-sharing, and one-to-one rewards, such praise or recognition.
Examine and evaluate if these rewards are effective in motivating behavior for this position.
Identify how goals are used at your company with regard to the selected position.
Be sure to consider what kinds of goals are set, how the goals are set, and if the goal system is effective for this position.
