180). Based on Professor Houston’s lectures, employees keep a mental ledger of the outcomes or rewards they get from their job duties (Houston, 2016). Sunbreak Express employees have the opportunity to earn tips from their satisfied customers. The reason this follows the equity theory is because Daniel Cone evenly distributes the tips of the day to all the employees including himself. This is an example of the equality principle. Daniel believes that evenly distributing all of the tips to his employees creates an equal sense of accomplishment from all of his employees. When all employees perceives themselves as equals, there is no further action required according to the equity
Gobias Industries is a company that is seeking to promote diversity amongst the organization and strives to be the best. However, it is seen that the company lacks certain criteria that may negatively impact them to the extent where they would need to shut down their facilities.

For this, we have analyzed the three main problems with
Employees protested, “that supervisors should have received a reduced bonus because they were not working as hard as they are and the company might be playing with the numbers” (Beer & Collins, 2008 p.6). A beneficial system for the new Scanlon Plan is to rearranged payout count. This will help to regain trust amongst employees and management. Equity Theory stresses integrity to all compensation arrangement and if this is effectively executed, then this will resolve the mistrust issue that employees have with their management team. The rewards should not be paid on a consistent month-to-month basis, instead, on a settled proportion plan, which gives rewards "each nth time the right behavior is demonstrated" (Bauer and Erdogan, 2013, p. 112). Traditionally, this would imply that workers are paid reward each time a specific measure of cash in permitted payroll is met. “The current permitted payroll is at 38% of sales value” (Engstrom, 2008). This requires no change. Instead, when Engstrom comes to a permitted payroll of one million dollars, then 10% of that sum should naturally disbursed to workers as rewards. This tackles numerous past issues with the Scanlon
Furthermore, new workers would be paid depending on how much experience they had with other automobile companies. Under my proposed system, all workers will be eventually guaranteed to be paid up to 30 dollars per hour as long as they are productive and devoted to serving our company. If this system were to be a success, then income disparity between workers should be smaller compared to that of the two-tier wage system creating better equality in pay among workers. In addition, this type of system
Being employed as a purchasing clerk and a sales support at the Furniture Outlet has given me the opportunity to fully understand how the presence of certain reward compromise or programs helps to form a viable workplace for both an employer and an employee and also the organization as a whole. Given the tasks and expectations that are to be achieved as a purchasing clerk, I often find myself thinking about how the work is to be done and in what ways can it be done suffic...
After careful consideration I relate more to Dr. Davis M. Buss, known for his evolutionary research on human sex differences in mate selection. Sex differences. Buss posits that men and women have faced different adaptive challenges throughout human history, which shape behavioral difference in males and females today. Example women have to carry the child for nine months and then make it though delivery. Men during pregnancy have thoughts of paternity and having as many children as possible. He also focused on short and long term mating strategies, male and female preference, deception, love, jealousy, and a host of other topics that deal hand and hand with relationships and relationship disputes. I Personally, relate to these theories because

Chandler should allow Sunrise’s Guardian division to introduce the lightweight standard wheelchair even though there is concern that it might compete with Sunrise’s Quickie division. There are many reasons for this. First, due in part to Medicare’s recent recognition of the lightweight standard wheelchair category, the annual U.S. sales of $70 million in this category is expected to grow 15% annually. Second, Quickie and Guardian both penetrate the distribution channels in different ways. Quickie sells its products through rehab suppliers, and caters to new users and younger, active patients. Guardian, on the other hand, who caters to the elderly, does not sell its products through rehab suppliers. If Guardian introduces the lightweight standard
The current IT system of WestJet was like a secluded group which was not up to the mark and this system was not good enough for attainment of regular growth and would never enable them to gain competitive advantage and to lead the market. To solve these problems major changes in IT were important. Cheryl Smith assessed many areas of IT and identified the problems in those areas. Smith proposed governance model to solve the problems in those areas and to achieve the strategic goals of the business. Smith proposed to restructure IT organization by allotting half of the IT staff to specific business areas this will result in no contention of resources among business units. The other half of the IT staff remained to together and were not assigned

Hourly employees also have the ability to receive a $1,000 scholarship towards further education. This incentive for lower level workers makes everyone feel valued. Fairness is a part of Chick-Fil-A’s organization and brand. The equity theory shows that people are motivated by fairness. This scholarship equals out the playing field and motivates all workers, regardless of their social status and income. Operators will learn important skills, to improve their abilities while enjoying the get a way. The feeling around the organization is that everyone within the organization is family.

“Inequality at work is the existence of unequal opportunities and any form of bias or discrimination that takes place in a work environment. It is allowed and promoted by the workplace authority.” (Acker, 2006) Inequality will bring drawbacks to the workplaces such as lower the productivity and inferior performances of the workers, this will result in negative outcomes of the whole business. There are several forms of inequality at work: gender, social class and race (Undurraga, 2014). In the workplace, a hierarchy is usually existed (Hyman, 1979). Employees who have a higher position such as managers are paid higher salaries and have more prestige and authority than the employees who have a lower position (Cowherd, 1992). “ Management means
The recent economic downturn has served to demonstrate the vulnerability of Westjet global economy and in particular, the tenuous financial thread by which a considerable number of airlines around the world operate. In Canada, there continues to be an uneven playing field that serves to give Canadian operators a disadvantage. This has resulted in a considerable increase in the number of Canadian passengers who cross the Canada/U.S. border to travel from the U.S. to their destination. This will continue to have a detrimental impact not only on Canadian airlines, but on the economy as a whole through the loss of jobs as passengers take their business out of the country. Westjet continue to call on and work with the federal government to remove these impediments to competition so that Canadians have a competitive choice and Canadian airlines can continue to thrive.
The coffee shop I decided to do my observation was the well known Starbucks just a couple blocks away. The reason I chose this coffee shop was because of it 's style inside, it attracted me. For example, one side of the wall has a glass top, and the lower part of the wall, made of wood and painted in a bright red color, which was one thing that attracted me and stood out. Outside of the shop people can actually see through the glass wall and get to see what’s happening inside of the coffeeshop. By the entrance you see these two red ceiling lamps which were shaped in a flower bud and these two tall green plants. Once you were in, on the right of the shop there was a counter with food and things to put in your drinks such as milk, sugar, chocolate, etc and the colors and how the food was displayed and served was appealing to my eyes. Behind that counter there was a long table with different electronic devices plugged into the wall. On the middle of the those there is a fridge just for ice and when I turned to the other side and I noticed a big menu on the wall. Further more into the shop, there was an area filled with tables, chairs, and sofas. The tables were in different shapes, one was round and the others rectangular, also there was four bamboo baskets and I looked around and noticed that the walls in that area were decorated with paintings.
Starbucks recognizes its employees for much of its success. This is due mostly to maintenance of a great and proven work environment for all employees. The company does not have a formal organizational chart; sot employees are permitted by management to make decisions without a management referral. Moreover, management trust and stands behind the decision of the employees and it is this that allows for employees to thinks for themselves as a part of the business, so as to make them feel as a true asset and not as just another employee.
