Resistance To Change

As research shows, the significance of workplace learning interventions is not a universal through in the HRM world: there are still instances where companies perceive On the Job Training as a waste of funding (Jacobs, 2003). Such managers claim that employees must bring necessary skills with them, and it is not a task of the company to complete the employees’ education. As a result, companies often deprive themselves of the benefits of the training because they are not ready to spend first. Thus, another challenge to the implementation of On the Job Training is organizational resistance and reluctance of the responsible managers to introduce new things to their operations (Jacobs, 2003). Accordingly, the general challenges of On the Job Training include either (1) willingness to conduct such training but lack of needed resources, or (2) reluctance to acknowledge the training even though resources for it are provided.

If there is a problem manager normally look back at experience and the solution to the problem. This is a way organization form strategy decision. The existing culture of the organization is a major impact.

It also doesn’t provide the employees with rewards or any source of encouragement, just regarding the aspects of the following orders. Another thing that coercive leadership does to employees is that their productivity may be effected in a negative way ,as employees may find this type very unbearable. Employees may be forced to quit or leave their jobs in pursuit for another comfortable and less demanding jobs.

Employees fine it difficult to cope up with them. It should be taken care of by the management system to pass on the change through appropriate means of communication channel, and avoid any form of distortion. The employees should be well aware of the pros and cons of a particular change, by helping the employee to understand the benefits of the change using positive reinforcement techniques.

1. Introduction It is crucial for managers to understand what motivates employees because only then will they be able to meet their needs and demands. Employees will be more motivated and committed to the organization when their important needs are met and when these important needs are not met, their morale suffers and this weakens their motivation in the long run. Like all other companies, Microsoft does its bid to keep its staff motivated and the theories I found to be used by Microsoft to motivate its employees are Douglas McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y, Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and McClelland’s theory of needs. 2.

Communication and collaboration of employees is also very important. If employees are not familiar with the company’s goals and what the company is expect from them they won’t be able to perform good. Successful organizational culture requires a team work. Johnson should establish the espoused values of the company. These are the stated values and norms that are preferred by the company (Kreitner, 2013, p.63).

One that may have this experience may not show his or her best work performances, absenteeism, and have negativity towards others. Workplaces should be aware of how to handle job stress and be able to share techniques with the employees to prevent job stress and burnout. Conclusion In conclusion, a leader has a great deal of responsibility, however understanding their purpose of composing others could help them to develop better leaders. Leaders want to make a difference and have their employee’s potential to shine, however being able to cope with others and finding techniques that works individually on others is a difficult task. There are people that are not designed to be leaders, it takes someone who is disciplined, motivated, and selfless to be leaders (Bethel University,

Team managers must hold a team together when different levels of trust, experiences, expectations, personalities and cultures clash (Joinson, 2002). Management styles that worked successfully with traditional teams is often not effective in leading virtual teams (Ferreira, et al., 2012). Hence, managers being used to keeping tabs on employee’s progress can feel uncomfortable in the beginning and need to change their management style.
