Integrated essay: productivity and rewards

[Leenda]

Hello Kitosdad. Thakns for reviewing my Integrated essay.

The passage is about the effect of productivity and rewards, and the way they can effect the employees. According to the passage, if rewards such as comapny paid vacations and job promotions are set correctly, they can be incentives for the employees to work harder, increase their motivations, and achieve the best and most significant results.

However, the lecturer casts doubt on this notion/belief. He thinks that based on some studies, rewards can be considered as punishmnets for the employees. People want to be paid and gain respect instead of being rewarded. He thinks that the employees may think that they are under the control of another person and being manipulated by the rewards. Furthermore, rewards can be disappointing. for example, an employee may get disappointed by not geting the reward he was thinking about.

In addition, relationships may get damaged. To demonstrate this fact, he gives an example of the relationship of an employee with his supervisor who always tends to withhold the reward. Therefore, the employee may not approach the supervisor to ask about any of his problems.

In conclusion, from proffessor’s point of view, it is not a good approach to rewarding people so as to enhance the productivity.

Hello Kitosdad. Thakns for reviewing my Integrated essay.

The passage is about the effect of productivity and rewards, and the way they can effect the employees. According to the passage, if rewards such as company paid vacations and job promotions are set correctly, they can be utilised as incentives for the employees to work harder, increase their motivations, and achieve the best and most significant results.

However, the lecturer casts doubt on this notion/belief. He thinks that based on some studies, rewards can be considered as punishments by the employees. People want to be paid and gain respect instead of being rewarded. He thinks that the employees may think that they are under the control of another person and being manipulated by the rewards. Furthermore, rewards can be disappointing. For example, an employee may get disappointed by not getting the reward feels he was entitled to.

In addition, relationships may become damaged. To demonstrate this fact, he gives an example of the relationship of an employee with his supervisor who always tends to withhold the reward. Therefore, the employee may not approach the supervisor to ask about any of his problems.

In conclusion, from the professor’s point of view, rewarding people so as to enhance their productivity, is not really a good approach.

Good morning Leenda. Some changes have been made to your text. I am doing this for everyone now, as I feel it may slow then down a little, and by having to find their errors they may learn more than they did by simply having their errors highlighted for them.

Thanks Kitosdad for your kind help.
I hope that your new method helps some students to realiase their mistakes. However, I should point out that someone who is determined and serious will critically read their entire work after being corrected.
I use a notebook in which I write my whole essays after they get checked by you.

And this was my first IS, I made some silly mistakes, since I was more concentrating on the material discussed in the lecture. I hope it won’t happen again PROFESSOR Kitosdad :)))

“someone who is determined and serious will critically read their entire work after being corrected.”

Perhaps they will now Leenda. All I can hope for is that they will.
