When a worker announces that he plans to quit, say next month, the "threat" of being fired has no bite. The worker may find it in his interest to shirk. What can the manager do to overcome this problem?
- Pay the worker some rewards when he announces his plan to quit.
- Fire the worker as soon as he announces his plans to quit.
- Monitor the worker more often than usual and fire him when he is caught shirking.
- Provide the worker some rewards for good work that extend beyond the termination of employment with your firm.
