Employee Motivation - A Short Case Study* |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Rohit Narang joined Apex Computers (Apex) in November after a successful stint at Zen Computers (Zen), where he had worked as an assistant programmer. Rohit felt that Apex offered better career prospects, as it was growing much faster than Zen, which was a relatively small company. Rohit joined as a Senior Programmer at Apex, with a handsome pay hike. He joined Aparna Mehta's five-member team. While she was efficient at what she did and extremely intelligent, she had neither the time nor the inclination to groom her subordinates. Time and again, Rohit found himself thinking of Suresh, his old boss, and of how he had been such a positive influence. Aparna, on the other hand, even without actively doing anything, had managed to significantly lower his motivation levels.
