Rethinking Rewards: Rewarding A And Hoping For B!, Abhoy K Ojha Oct 1998

Rethinking Rewards: Rewarding A And Hoping For B!, Abhoy K Ojha

IIMB Management Review

It would seem to be well established wisdom that if a particular behaviour is desired, that should be rewarded rather than any other behaviour. Based on a case study of two hospitals in a Canadian province, Abhoy Ojha concludes that in situations where it may not be practical to reward the desired behaviour, a related behaviour could be rewarded in order to elicit the behaviour desired. An adequate understanding of the complex relationship between rewards and behaviour may allow organisations to design systems that are seen to encourage one behaviour, but also elicit multiple other desirable behaviours.

Values And Reward Preferences Of Prospective Engineers, S Bhargava

IIMB Management Review

A study conducted among students of a leading Indian institute of engineering and technology yielded useful and significant insights into the preferred rewards and motivators, personal values and background, attitudes and job prospects of prospective engineers, considered to be the cream of Indian youth and likely to assume positions of leadership in the fields of engineering and management. The findings of the study could help solve prevalent problems in designing organisational structures and reward systems and in improving the quality of engineering education and prospects for engineers in Indian organisations.

Attracting And Retaining Talent : A Managerial Challenge, Y Sriram, Abhijit Bhaduri

IIMB Management Review

Getting the right person for the right job and retaining him/her is a challenge all organisations face. What are the strategies evolved by organisations to attract and retain talented manpower, across different levels and functions? How do attractive compensation schemes and 'golden handcuffs' rate against providing learning opportunities and a work culture that promotes creativity? Where do the old fashioned virtues of loyalty, honesty and hard work stand? Are some organisations more successful in nurturing their employees in line with their vision? What can be done to counter the flight of talent? These were some of the issues which came …

Human Resource Management And Quality Orientation In Banks, Aruna Mankidy

IIMB Management Review

In an era where Quality is the focus in a redefined perspective, service organisations have to orient themselves to quality management - not just for success but for survival. The experience of organisations implementing TQM has highlighted the cruciality of HR policies and practices. A project initiated by the National Institute of Bank Management explored the possibility of implementing Quality management approach in the HR department of a commercial bank. The pivotal point was to bring the "Internal Customer" orientation to the service department which could then be extended to the entire organisation. The framework developed and analysis carried out …

Linking Wages With Productivity By G. K. Suri & R. C. Mongra, New Delhi: National Productivity Council, 1989., B R Patil

IIMB Management Review

Improving employee productivity has been a problem in all economies - capitalist, socialist, and mixed on the one hand, and developed and developing on the other. The problem becomes quite complex when the issue of sharing the gains of improved productivity between industry and labor arises. The complex nature of this problem necessitates the exchange of views among all concerned to evolve guidelines for sharing the gains of productivity.

Hiring A Marketing Manager, S K Roy

IIMB Management Review

Exponential Pvt. Ltd. (EPL) — a Bombay—based pharmaceutical company was engaged mainly in manufacturing formulations and marginally some bulk drugs. It achieved an annual turnover of about Rs. 10 crores, the result of a fast and consistent growth for eight years practically around 35% compounded annually, against the industry average of 25%. Growth was achieved partly due to the governmental policy supports for the Indian sector in this industry, but primarily because the company’s strongest product (a painkiller-cum—tranquiliser particularly effective for the smooth muscles of the body) had done exceedingly well and captured about 40% of the total analgesic market. …
