ResponsibilityAt XYZ, Operation staff work in groups comprising of eight to ten members, headed by a leader who is appointed by the management. The company practices job rotation which is the periodic shifting of groups from one task to another. This is aimed to reduce boredom, increase motivation through diversifying the group’s activities and help them better understand how their work contributes to the organization.RecognitionAccording to Mrs A, the company does not conduct any event to recognize employees’ achievement. However, the company does appreciate employees’ good work by providing target incentive allowance to groups which manage to achieve certain production target. The allowance will be given to all group members.AdvancementIn order to enhance the employees’ knowledge, skills, and abilities, the company regularly conducts in-house training that is called small group activities. Besides that, the company also sends key Operation people like supervisors and leaders for external training two to three times a year, while the company also conducts team building program to all Operation staff once a year.SalaryAccording to Mrs A, the basic salaries for all employees are equitable to other employees of the same level in other similar size and core business companies. This suggests that money may not be the factor of low level of motivation among the employees. There must be other things that determine their motivation level. As for Operation staff, besides their basic salaries, the company also provides several allowances to them, which include good attendance, transportation, housing, meal, shift, and laundry allowances. Beginning last year, attendance allowance has been increased from RM 80 to RM 120 per month. In consequence with that, attendance problem improves, but not for long.Interpersonal RelationshipRelationship among staff is generally good since XYZ is a medium-sized company which consists of quite a small number of employees who know each other. Furthermore, the Human Resource Department has implemented many programs such as consultation sessions and family day to bridge the gap between and among upper and lower management and non-managerial employees. However, there is low level of interaction, communication, and cooperation between other employees of different groups, which might due to different groups having their own goals.Company PolicyXYZ has a documented, well-written policy in both English and Bahasa Malaysia. However, employees only have low level of involvement in the policy. At the moment, the company provides only two ways to get employees’ response and feedback which is through suggestion box as well as monthly meetings with the Managing Director. Any dissatisfaction/opinion will be considered by the management and up the management’s discretion to accept or not. In order to encourage employees’ feedback on any matter, the company usually gives monetary reward to suggestions/feedback that benefits the company.XYZ has taken several measures to curb problems with regards to employee motivation level. These include providing personal consultation and counselling to problematic staff, introducing several allowances, initiating internal promotion prior to a public one, regularly revising policy and procedures (ask absent/late comers to produce supporting document and show cause letter), and organizing several motivational programs such as ‘Motivation Game’, ‘team building’, ‘ice breaking’ and ‘5S’. On one hand, the company believes that poor attitude and motivational level of the employees resulted from low level of self-belongings to the company.
