Fab Sweets Case AnalysisThe main problems affecting the company were the high level of labor turnover, below target production rates, high levels of scrap, employees had little influence in decision making, so it resulted in low motivation and job satisfaction, and I didn't get enough feedback on their performance. Added to this was conflict between supervisors and employees in the production and packaging areas, and grading and pay levels were unsatisfactory for employees. In order to remedy problems in departments, we will apply different theories as to how the department can change for the better, we will mainly look at Goal Theory, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, as well as Hertzberg and Mayo. Fab Sweets uses assembly lines in the production and packaging departments, which could possibly explain why employees have a low level of productivity. satisfaction and low motivation. The procedure used is similar to Frederick Winslow Taylor's theory, called Taylorism. If we look at the line way of working, we see that tasks are assigned to individuals specifically and individuals are not able to work in other areas to develop different areas. skills, thus making the work they do repetitive, which could lead to negligence in carrying out their work, the level of skills required to do the job was also low, hence no motivation to learn new skills. “…Taylorism reduces the worker to an automaton and denies him any possibility of relief or modulation of the pace of work and is extremely stressful and oppressive.” www.marxists.orgIt assumes that the worker is motivated by money, in contradiction with Maslow's hierarchy of needs which states that there are eight innate needs: transcendence, self-realization, aesthetics, to know and understand, esteem, affiliation , safety, Biological. If Fab Sweets actively implemented some of Maslow's motivation theories such as recognition, good feedback as well as training opportunities, perhaps being skilled in both the production and packaging areas for each worker, it would be a form of motivation for the worker. , although some jobs require strong men to do it, perhaps there could be a way that instead of one person, two people could do it. Job rotation could also be another way to increase worker motivation. the chance to be recognized for their exceptional work.
