Q.5
Consider the case and answer the questions given below:
Naik, AGM - Materials, is fuming and fretting. He bumped into
Kamath, GM - Materials, threw the resignation letter on his table,
shouted and walked out of the room swiftly. Naik has reason for his
sudden outburst. He has been driven to the wall. Perhaps, details of the
story will tell the reasons for Naik?s bile and why he put in his papers,
barely four months after he took up his present assignment.
The year was 2010 when Naik quit the prestigious SAIL plant at
Vishakapatnam. As a manager materials, Naik enjoyed powers?he
could even place an order for materials worth Rs 25 lakh. He needed
nobody?s prior approval. Naik joined a pulp-making plant located at
Harihar in Kanataka, as AGM Materials. The plant is a part of the multi-
product and multiplant-conglomerate owned by a prestigious business
house in India.
Obviously, perks, designation and reputation of the conglomerate lured
Naik away from the public sector steel monolith. When he joined the
eucalyptus pulp making company, little did Naik realise that he needed
prior approval to place an order for materials worth Rs 12 lakh. He had
presumed that he had the authority to place an order by himself worth
half the amount of what he used to do at the mega steel maker. He
placed the order, materials arrived, were received, accepted and used up
in the plant.
Trouble started when the bill for Rs 12 lakh came from the vendor. The
accounts department withheld payment for the reason that the bill was
not endorsed by Kamath. Kamath refused to sign on the bill as his
approval was not taken by Naik before placing the order. Naik felt
fumigated and cheated. A brief encounter with Kamath only
aggravated the problem. Naik was curtly told that he should have
known company rules before venturing. Naik decided to quit.
(a) Does the company have an orientation program? If you were Naik, what
you would have done?
07
(b) Why is it important to coach employees with performance problems?
Enumerate the skills necessary for effective coaching.
07
OR
Q.5 (a) What strategies would be adopted by you in making the employee
orientation effective?
07
(b)
Using Feldman?s three-stage model of organization socialization, how
would you describe the way Naik could have socialized into
organization?
