i disagree with ...i guess that's you rivas :)<br /> <br />i disagree with the smaller organization bit. first of all, the incentive mechanism is not a given. And there is always information loss, regardless of size.sonofdelphihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533481679523391980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15821390.post-26866044984734347932009-07-21T08:23:17.085+05:302009-07-21T08:23:17.085+05:30I would agree to this in a larger org perspective ...I would agree to this in a larger org perspective where everyone seems to be doing something when no one is doing anything (pretty much). In smaller organizations everyone knows what the other is doing and there is a high incentive mechanism to ensure rewards for those that report the person not doing anything (saves lots of money to the company). <br /><br />In general though, I see Newton's laws being applied in all orgs:<br />1. Inertia: If an employee is in a state of actually working, he/she will remain in that state and contribute to the org. Those that are in the state of idleness will remain in that state. These states can be changed by external forces like loan repayment and extreme boredom crossing inertial thresholds.<br />2. F=ma: Force applied is directly proportional to lathargical mass and the acceleration (deceleration?) of the economy.<br />3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Those reporting idle/non-contributing folks, get their asses kicked in the first round of layoffs. Those working hard get their asses kicked in the second round of layoffs. Those that get laid off, do eventually get jobs or well, at least have time to get laid...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
