CASE : MR. BANERJEE
"Mr. Alok Banarjee is the chief executive of a medium-sized pharmaceutical firm in Calcutta. He holds a Ph.D. in Pharmacy. However, he has not been involved in research and development of new products for two decades. Though turnover is not a problem for the company, Mr. Banarjee and his senior colleagues noticed that the workers on hourly basis are not working up to their full potential. It is a well-known fact that they filled their days with unnecessaryand unproductive activities and worked only for the sake of a pay cheque. In the recent past the situation has become quite alarming as the organisation began to crumble under the weight of uneconomical effort. The situaation demanded immediate managerial attention and prompt remedial measures. Mr. Banarjee knew very well that the only way to progress and prosper is to motivate workers` to peak performance through various incentive plans.
On fine morning, Mr. Banerjee contacted the Personnel Manager and enquired : "Whatis the problem with the workers on hourly basis ? The wage bill shows that we pay them the highest in the industry. Our working conditions are fine. Our fringe benefits are excellent. Still these workers are not motivated. What do they require really ?" The Personnel Manager gave the following Reply.
