Exam 2a questions - 2d posting

Q: I am puzzled about the recency and contrast effects.
A: Please get back to me with a more specific question based on the descriptions and examples in the text.
-------------------------------------------


Q: Also- is self monitoring defined as observing one's behavior?
A: That’s part of the definition in the text.  You should know the other half, too.
-------------------------------------------

is the motivation hygiene theory the one that holds motivation as a function of fairness in social exchanges?
A: Motivator-hygiene theory is a content theory discussed in the text as it relates to satisfaction and dissatisfaction on the job.  Fairness is associated with the next theory the text covers.  It is the first process theory the book discusses, and aspects of it appear in the virtual (Trust-Justice-Privacy) session and its notes.

-------------------------------------------

During Bill Sobel's presentation, there was a oppinion question that I wasnt sure had a right answer.  It was the clicker question relating to if there was a best time to begin working for yourself on a commission basis was? ....

Opinion questions don’t have right answers.  That particular question was answered by Michael Vela, who used to state categorically that people should start their careers on commission and continue being compensated that way.  He’s softened his stance somewhat in the time that I’ve known him.

-------------------------------------------

Also can you explain the differences between
gain and profit sharing   ///   job and work sharing


Gainsharing – applying productivity-based (increased output or reduced costs) rewards  to smaller work groups, rather than across the whole company.


Work sharing - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/16/business/economy/16workshare.html?pagewanted=all - The term can also apply similar situations, furlough systems (especially voluntary ones) where no unemployment insurance payments apply.
