Mba i ob u 3.2 motivation and its applicationsRai University
This document discusses various ways to motivate employees in the workplace, including through job design, alternative work arrangements, rewards, and recognition. It describes the job characteristics model which evaluates five core job dimensions: skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback. Alternative work arrangements like flextime, job sharing and telecommuting are explored. Variable pay programs including piece-rate pay, bonuses and profit sharing are also summarized as motivational tools. The importance of intrinsic rewards through recognition programs and flexible benefits is highlighted. Managerial implications focus on recognizing individual differences, using goals/feedback, allowing participation, linking rewards to performance, and ensuring equity.
Performance management is a continuous process of identifying, measuring, and developing employee performance to align it with organizational goals. It involves ongoing feedback rather than annual assessments. Key elements include performance planning, managing performance through feedback, reviewing performance, and rewarding performance. While performance appraisals assess past performance and identify strengths and weaknesses, performance management is focused on ongoing feedback to help employees improve. An effective performance management system provides clear expectations and feedback, identifies good and poor performance, and facilitates employee development and organizational change.
This document discusses linking employee performance to pay. It explains that organizations typically have pay bands for different employee levels and categories. Within each band is a minimum and maximum pay, with increments given for meeting or exceeding expectations. Performance can be linked to short-term incentives for annual performance or long-term incentives for sustained high performance. While performance-based pay aims to motivate employees, it also presents challenges in ensuring fairness, transparency, and buy-in from employees and unions. Ethics are important to consider in performance management systems to promote fair treatment and uphold organizational values.
The document discusses compensation and total rewards. It defines compensation as the total payments provided to employees in exchange for work performed, including pay, incentives, and benefits.

This document discusses paying employees based on their contribution rather than just performance or competencies alone. It defines contribution-related pay as linking pay to both performance results and competence. The key elements are setting clear expectations and rules for pay progression based on deliverables, competencies, and behaviors. An effective performance management process is emphasized, with planning, managing, reviewing, and rewarding performance. Getting the details right requires sound competency frameworks, regular feedback-focused coaching, and a focus on raising rather than rating contribution. Pulling it all together requires building manager capability, deciding how it fits the existing culture, starting payment as soon as practical, communicating openly, and having top-level clarity and commitment.
The purpose of the training program is to teach HR managers ways to motivate employees in order to raise motivation and performance.

This document discusses various topics related to mergers and acquisitions including arranging mergers, developing defensive tactics, establishing fair value, financing mergers, and arbitrage operations. Arbitrage operations refers to simultaneously buying and selling the same commodity or security in two different markets at different prices to earn a risk-free return.
Mergers and acquisitions as well as other strategic corporate partnerships like joint ventures, leveraged buyouts, and divestitures such as spin-offs and carve-outs are undertaken by companies to create value, but it is debated whether they actually achieve this goal. Different forms of corporate alliances include joint ventures, which involve two independent companies combining resources for a specific objective, and strategic alliances which are cooperative deals that stop short of a full merger. Private equity investments leverage debt to buy companies, while divestitures sell off some operating assets.
This document discusses mergers and acquisitions. It defines a merger as the combination of two or more firms to form a single firm. It lists some rationales for mergers, including achieving synergies where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, taking advantage of tax considerations by purchasing assets below their replacement cost, and diversification. It also outlines different types of mergers like horizontal, vertical, conglomerate, and congeneric mergers.

It notes that merger analysis involves the acquiring firm valuing the target to determine if it can be purchased at or below that value, and the target accepting if the price exceeds its independent value or what another
This document discusses hybrid financing through preferred stock. Preferred stock is a type of stock that promises a fixed dividend but payment is at the discretion of the board. It has preference over common stock for dividend payments and claims on assets up to par value. Key features of preferred stock include cumulative dividends that must be paid before common dividends, participating dividends that increase with common dividends, and potential voting rights in special situations. Advantages are that missed preferred dividends do not cause bankruptcy as with bonds, it avoids dilution of common equity, and repayment is spread over long periods. Disadvantages are preferred dividends are not tax deductible, so cost is higher than debt, and their use increases financial risk and cost of
1) A company's dividend policy involves decisions around paying out earnings as dividends versus retaining earnings, including whether to pay high or low dividends, pay stable or irregular dividends, and the frequency of dividend payments.
2) The residual dividend model suggests that a company should first determine the retained earnings needed for its capital budget, and then pay out any remaining earnings as dividends.
3) A change in a company's investment opportunities would affect its dividends under the residual model, with fewer good investments leading to higher dividends and more investments leading to lower dividends.
This document discusses capital budgeting and provides an overview of key concepts and methods used to evaluate long-term investment projects. It defines capital budgeting, outlines the steps, and distinguishes between independent and mutually exclusive projects. It then describes five decision criteria - net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), modified internal rate of return (MIRR), payback period, and discounted payback period. For each method, it provides the calculation and discusses strengths and weaknesses. The document concludes that NPV is the best single criterion but notes that the various methods provide different perspectives on project profitability and liquidity.
This document discusses the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) calculation for a firm with multiple sources of capital (debt, preferred stock, common equity). It provides an example calculation showing the cost, proportion of total financing, and weighted cost for each source. The weighted costs are summed to calculate the overall WACC of 11.38%. The document also discusses assumptions and methods used in the WACC calculation, such as using after-tax costs and a constant growth valuation model to determine the cost of equity.

9. Raise for the CEO
The board of directors of Manila Hospital were in executive
meeting, discussing the CEO’s performance for the past
year. After determining that it was “outstanding,” they set
about establishing the appropriate level of compensation for
her.
All of the directors agreed that a substantial pay increase
was in order. However, when the newly adjusted level of
compensation was calculated, one director (a physician)
made a comment, “I don’t care how much you pay her he
contented, as long as it isn’t any higher than the average of
the physicians working in the clinic. After all, the hospital
wouldn’t be able to function if it weren’t for us.”

44. Case Focus: Village Grocery
Mark Rodriguez was the executive for Village Grocery, a family-owned chain of six
grocery stores in a medium-sized metropolitan area. The current problem he was
facing dealt with the stock clerks workers in the stores. Despite paying them the usual
wage rate (minimum legislated wage), he had trouble obtaining enough applicants for
the job. Worse still, many of them seemed to lack motivation once he hired them.
This situation created problems of empty shelves and slow service at the check out
lanes.
In an attempt to solve the problems, Mark met with small groups of the workers to get
their ideas. He also consulted with a local expert on compensation issues. Some
workers said they wanted a higher hourly wage rate; others said they wanted some
incentives to work faster; some had no comment whatsoever. The consultant
recommended that Mark consider using some of the more contemporary
compensation systems,
Questions:
1. Which of the major economic incentive systems discussed has the best chance of working
for Mark?
2. Can two or more incetive systems be combined, with an even greater likelihood of
success?
3. In your recommendation, which motivational theories are you most specifically using?
