He Repairing Jobs That Fail to Satisfy.

1. Introduction Analysis of the article, we have a certain misgiving of the Repairing Jobs That fail to Satisfy. The report focuses on how DrainF outset shtup improve in three areas romp structure, motivator structure, and hiring practices. The main contents accommodate an introduction to the problems DrainFlow is encountering, analyses of the current business, and recommendations on how DrainFlow can overcome these issues to foster a semipermanent competitive advantage. Goal and RecommendationsThe goal of this proposal is to provide recommendations for a impertinentlyfound think over structure, a upstart incentive structure, and new hiring practices. The job structure recommendations depart allow for to a greater extent than cross discipline between office workers and work providers. This will enrich all jobs at DrainFlow by adding different tasks, autonomy, and feedback. The new incentive structure will allow for flexible benefits and recognition. This is designed to motivate employees and improve node service. Lastly, the new hiring practices will provide a repeatable solution for finding a cohesive set of new employees. . bliss The job characteristics model offers much(prenominal) a framework. It identifies volt primary job characteristics, interrelationship, and impact on employee productivity, motivation, and triumph. (Hakman, Lawler, 1994) The set up system of job design may be contribution to employee dis blessedness the most important reason is from the interrelationship, correspond the figure from the essay, we can know the lowest satisfaction parts are the interactions with the employees supervisor and the alliance asked them to do the work.Therefore, after our group analysis we think the important with employees dissatisfaction of reasons are the interactions and motivation problems. Frome the essay we know DrainFlow companys employees working in four basic jobs categories, plumbers, plumbers assistants, order coverors, and bulling representatives. That is a in truth good team to make the response with nodes demand, all the works division real clearly, through it customer can very quickly get the service from the company, and save a lot of time for the company. However, on that foreland has a big defect for this company.Employees lack of interaction, they just do the work what kind of work blow over to them and do not care intimately other employees work, because the employees just want to finish the work and work the wages, the works wages are same no matter with the customers feel satisfaction or not. It is not very good for the company to development, so our group suggest add the rewards system to add the employees motivation. For example when the employees after service if the customer feel dissatisfaction they can make a call to the DrainFlow corporation which employees make them feel dissatisfaction.The company should record that, and when the employees take the wages, company can foll ow this record to employ the rewards or punish to the employees. According this system the employees will have to motivation to better cooperation with co-workers and feel more satisfaction with works. 3. Data Analysis Job Structure and Organizational Design It is evident from the Original discipline that DrainFlow employees are not satisfied with their jobs Research suggests that this could be a reason for concern. Job dissatisfaction can jumper cable to higher absenteeism, job turnover and workplace deviance which can lead to decr palliated levels of productivity.Satisfied employees are more likely to talk confirmatively about the organization, help others, and go beyond the normal expectations of their jobs. Therefore, increased employee satisfaction at DrainFlow can directly affect positive customer outcomes. Satisfied employees increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, which leads to repeat business. All DrainFlow employees work directly with the customer, so it is impera tive that DrainFlow take measures to ensure both job satisfaction and customer satisfaction.DrainFlows current organizational structure is designed to keep costs as low as possible. DrainFlow achieves this through specialization of its work force. Plumbers are the most specialized and highly apt and are therefore paid the highest wages. Plumber assistants are paid about one-fourth the salary of a plumber. 4. Incentive Structure There are no rewarding variable-pay political platforms. Plumbers are compensated the most, based on their high level of skill mend the rest of the employees make approximately one-fourth of the plumbers wage.The current pay structure may be externally competitive however, DrainFlow must as well as image at the internal equity or worth of each job to the organization. With low customer store and customer satisfaction, DrainFlow may consider paying employees more to meet customer needs. Additionally, high pay much leads to better-qualified, more motivat ed employees who want to stay with their current organization. DrainFlow must weigh the costs and benefits of a exchange rewards system. Financial incentives can have certain negative impacts by fostering unethical styles to obtain person-to-person objectives.These might include, but are not limited to, billing work performed at a inflict price to make a sale, offering free parts at company expense and coercing clients into non-complaint and positive review situations. Therefore, a cash rewards system should not be the only basis of DrainFlows incentive structure. Renaldo does not mention finding a balance between intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. Examples of intrinsic rewards include private and public recognition, employee of the month awards, or even a personal thank you note.Some research shows that while financial incentives provide short-term motivation, intrinsic or nonfinancial rewards motivate long term. This helps employees feel worth(predicate) and needed in a dynamic environment and would be valuable in DrainFlows incentive structure. 5. Hiring Practices It is imperative in any place of employment to hire individuals suited for specific positions, particularly for positions involving customer service. Organizational structure and clarity is required to ensure that DrainFlow is attracting the right type of potential employees.Interested candidates must too exuberanty understand company goals and all job responsibilities. Employees hired based on inaccurate perceptions demonstrable during the interview process can result in employees that are unqualified for the position and/or displease with work. This is the current situation at DrainFlow. Most employees lack training in customer service, organizational behavior and are anxious about speaking with customers. Order processors do not have sufficient cognition or skill to explain the customers situation to DrainFlow Plumbers or Plumber Assistants.Billing representatives must deal with the nega tive reactions of dissatisfy customers, however, are only involved at the end of the job process and unaware of any job details. DrainFlow plumbers do not like being in the position of having to deliver the bad news of an by chance high bill to customers. Recommendations 6.
