Question
  1. There are two College going students Alex and Stephanie who work at a supermarket; to make ends meet and help pay for college fee. Both work for different departmental supervisor Dan and Jonathan respectfully. Alex’s supervisor Dan assigns him the same work for days as he believes that practicing the same thing over and over again, he will master job. Alex was being de-motivated by doing the same work every day.

        At the same time Stephanie’s supervisor Jonathan takes care of his employees’ interest and use to assign them work each week. The outcome of this practice was that his employees were motivated and were satisfied with work assigned to them, because they were having different task to perform each week, that they were more enthusiastic towards the work.

       It was observed by the employees of the supermarket that Alex’s supervisor, Dan was being bias with his employees. For instance, he was providing two (2) more dollars pay to a girl who used to say good and sweet things to him as compare to Alex. He was also strict with lunch timing which was 45 minutes for all employee to finish lunch in 30 minutes. On the other hand Stephanie’s supervisor Jonathan motivates his employees by giving them an opportunity and responsibility to complete certain task without interfering with them and by also providing them bonus for completion of work in given time.
