As we know that Siemens AG follows a democratic leadership style with its high
performance culture and its employee are highly motivated. As in Blake Mouton
Managerial grid the style of leadership can have impact on staff motivation,
Siemens leadership is high in people and production oriented. As the
organization takes people as there competitive advantage like their technology
and innovation. In a period of change if Siemens AG implements a dictatorial
styles that is an authoritarian leadership style can affect the employees in
various ways. As this style follows a one-way communication the high skilled
employee will not be able to demonstrate their view, as there will be no room for
discussion. As the employee will be subjected to set rules and will be rewarded
on individual output, there will be conflicts in teamwork. As all these factors will
de-motivate the employee it will drive them to look for different opportunities. If
transformational leadership is applied it will generate great awareness of the
importance of the purpose of the organization to understand the change to give
outcomes. It will encourage them to excel their own self- interests for the sake of
the organization and its team. As transformational leadership is compromised of
idealized influences, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and
individual consideration. As all these factors favors the organization behavior of
Siemens AG it will be the most idealistic approach to motivate its staff in a period
of change.
As we realize that Siemens AG takes after a law based initiative style with its
elite society and it's worker are exceptionally energetic. As in Blake Mouton
Managerial matrix the style of administration can have sway on staff inspiration,
Siemens initiative is high in individuals and generation situated. As the
association takes individuals as there upper hand like their innovation and
advancement. In a time of progress if Siemens AG executes an oppressive styles
that is a dictator initiative style can influence the workers in different ways. As
this style takes after a restricted correspondence the high talented worker won't
have the capacity to show their perspective, as there will be no space for
exchange. As the representative will be subjected to set principles and will be
remunerated on individual yield, there will be clashes in collaboration. As every
one of these components will de-inspire the worker it will drive them to search
for distinctive open doors. In the event that transformational authority is
connected it will produce extraordinary consciousness of the reason's
significance of the association to comprehend the change to give results. It will
urge them to exceed expectations their own self-intrigues for the association's
purpose and its group. As transformational administration is traded off of
romanticized impacts, rousing inspiration, scholarly incitement and individual
thought. As every one of these elements supports the association conduct of
Siemens AG it will be the most hopeful way to deal with spur its staff in a time of
progress.
3.2: COMPARE THE APPLICATION OF DIFFERENT MOTIVATIONAL
THEORIES WITHIN YOUR WORKPLACE
As chartered management institute has explained motivation as given in LO11.3. It is the driving force within a person that persuades them to achieve some
goals in order to fulfill some need or expectation. The basic motivation model
explain that Performance = functions (ability X motivation). There are two kinds
of motivation: Extrinsic motivation that relates for rewards that are tangible like
a salary raise, the work atmosphere and condition at work. Intrinsic motivation is
more related to psychological rewards things that are intangible such as
opportunity to use once talent, sense of challenge and attainment and being
treated in a caring manner.
As sanctioned administration foundation has clarified inspiration as given in LO11.3. It is the main impetus inside of a man that influences them to accomplish a
few objectives keeping in mind the end goal to satisfy some need or desire. The
essential inspiration model clarify that Performance = capacities (capacity X
inspiration). There are two sorts of inspiration: Extrinsic inspiration that relates
for prizes that are substantial like a compensation raise, the work air and
condition at work. Natural inspiration is more identified with "mental" prizes
things that are immaterial, for example, chance to utilize once ability, feeling of
test and accomplishment and being dealt with in a minding way.
urged to create aptitude and make proposal. The examination is successive and
urged to elevate their inspiration. Y Type of specialist is gifted and their
methodology is very much created. This sort of laborer is for the most part found
in level structure association that trusts that they are innovative and ready to
deal with their aptitudes to advantage the association.
(McGregor, D. 1960).
As in Siemens AG we have seen that all Maslows level of hierarchy and Herzberg
Theoryis morerelevant. They have more of Y type employee, as it has narrow
span of control. They are self-motivated and are skilled workers. The managers in
Siemens AG are more a part of the team then a dictator. The organization uses
different approaches for appraisal of its workers.
As in Siemens AG we have seen that all Maslow's level of chain of importance
and Herzberg Theoryis morerelevant. They have a greater amount of Y sort
representative, as it has slender compass of control. They are self-roused and are
talented laborers. The directors in Siemens AG are more a group's piece then a
despot. The association utilizes diverse methodologies for examination of its
laborers.
3.3 THE USEFULNESS OF MOTIVATION THEORY FOR THE MANAGERS
Mangers in Siemens AG uses Herzberg theory as this theory covers all the factors
of Maslows theory and adds more to the context of job. Hygiene Factors,
Managers can adopt to improvise policy to provide job security. They can develop
vibrantwork condition that is more suited to their employees comfort. Managers
can organize challenging activities that are teamwork oriented, as it will develop
trust between their peers and supervisors. As these factors dont satisfy the
employee but lack of these factors can create job dissatisfaction. As for the
motivational factors management can make there task more challenging. They
should provide room for achievement and gain their recognition in the
organization. As we have seen in 3.2 Maslows Hierarchy of needs in contrast to
managers at Siemens AG are using there human resource development (HRD)
strategy that focus on employee training courses and if the employee is
interested in different kind of work. The HRD strategy uses different methodology
to make their employee life better and balanced. In Maslows Hierarchy it is the
to have that weakness or if they have similar teamwork strength they may tend
to compete for the team task rather than co-operate. As we have seen in
Siemens AG it is a Team oriented organization, where every project is executed
through teams or groups as it enhances productivity as all team member
represent a different expertise to the project. Effective teamwork can be
accomplished using Belbins team role model. Analyzing the team membership
using Belbin team roles as checks for potential strengths and weakness within
Siemens AG. Individual members of the team need to be observed to see their
behavior, contribution and also their behavior within the team. Manager needs to
write the team members strengths and characteristics or weakness as observed.
Strength and weakness of each member of the team has to be linked to the most
accurately described among the Belbin description of team roles. Then it is
possible to analyze where the teams strength is or its lack in certain ability.
Example: Many Shapers can weaken a team if each Shaper wants to pull the
team in a different direction. Also, Siemens AG follows a task culture as we have
seen in L01-1.1. They believe is the employees are truly involved in the business
and are a part of the success it will motivate. Siemens AG under its people
excellence it is believed that trust drives its high performance culture.
Teammembers in Siemens AG work on a shared goal as a group. They have a
sense of shared responsibility for the shared goal to achieve their objectives. This
is all possible to the strategy of Siemens AG to make the most use of their
employees talent.
Teamwork:
Teamwork is about galvanizing a group of people towards a shared objective.
It is also about bringing the best out of each individual in the pursuit of a
collective goal thought worthy of being realized. According to Jon R.
Katzenbach and Douglas K. Smitha team is a small number of people with
complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, set of
performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually
accountable.'(Harvard Business review, July 2005)
Collaboration speaks the truth electrifying a gathering of individuals towards
a mutual target. It is likewise about bringing the best out of every person in
the quest for an aggregate objective considered commendable being figured
it out. As indicated by Jon R. Katzenbach and Douglas K. Smith'a group is a
little number of individuals with integral abilities who are focused on a typical
reason, set of execution objectives, and methodology for which they hold
themselves commonly accountable.'(Harvard Business survey, July 2005)
The success of an effective teamwork is a vital part of Siemens AG, as it
wants to prosper in the global community. In order for Siemens AG to achieve
its vision, mission and goals it needs to understand the impact and
importance of effective teamwork. There are many potential distractions,
obstacles and other detriments that can lead to failure, but it will require
deftly avoiding these in favor of beneficial traits instead in order to overcome
the job at hand. Recognizing these factors may help contributors be more
planned in their objectives. Siemens AG operations based on teamwork
culture as quoted by the Chief Executive Officer Mr. Kaus Kleinfeld of it Many
times in my life I have seen how one individual can make a big difference,
particularly when working in a great team. The quality of our people and of
our teams is our most valuable recourse, particularly in todays world where
knowledge flows round the globe with lightning speed and is easily available.
The accomplishment of a compelling cooperation is a key piece of Siemens
AG, as it needs to succeed in the worldwide group. All together for Siemens
AG to accomplish its vision, mission and objectives it needs to comprehend
the effect and significance of compelling cooperation. There are numerous
potential diversions, hindrances and different disadvantages that can prompt
disappointment, yet it will oblige deftly keeping away from these for gainful
attributes rather with a specific end goal to defeat the current task. Perceiving
these components may assist donors with being more arranged in their
destinations. Siemens AG operations in light of cooperation society as cited
by the Chief Executive Officer Mr. Kaus Kleinfeld of it "Ordinarily in my life I
have perceived how one individual can have a major effect, especially when
working in an incredible group. The nature of our kin and of our groups is our
most significant plan of action, especially in today's reality where learning
streams round the globe with lightning speed and is effortlessly accessible".
As most of the factors that can enhance the teamwork can be a barrier or
demotivate their team. Communication is basic crux for the team member
as without it they will not be able to convey their direction and share
information. Employees in Siemens AG need to emerge as leaders to promote
productivity as the team member provides ideas others need to interpret its
complex concepts, as Siemens is known for its innovation. Positive attitude,
It the team member believe that the goal or project was doomed to fail they
will not put a sincere effort. In addition if the teammate have opinion
concerning between each other can affect their success, as having a negative
opinion can shelter antagonistic working environment. Planting seeds of
conflict or showing unwillingness to the among team members will effect
there communication. In its place the team members should enter the group
with full intention on completing there given task with out negative
complaints or comments. Trust is one of the essential factors that promote
effective teamwork because team members towards task completion are
rendered impossible or altogether unavailable without it. Team member do
not share as much information with each other, as they tend to shoulder more
of the load than they can sincerely handle. It is impossible to take risk even if
its wisely calculated if there is no trust. Siemens AG trust its employee as
they work on project that have risk factors they understand that in doing
something innovative there are risk involved.
As the elements' majority that can upgrade the cooperation can be a
hindrance or demotivate their group. Correspondence is essential core for the
colleague as without it they won't have the capacity to pass on their bearing
and offer data. Workers in Siemens AG need to develop as pioneers to
advance profitability as the colleague gives thoughts others have to translate
its intricate ideas, as Siemens is known for its advancement. Inspirational
demeanor, It the colleague trust that the objective or task was destined to fall
flat they won't put a true exertion. Moreover if the buddy have assessment
worried between one another can influence their prosperity, as having a
negative conclusion can protect hostile workplace. Planting seeds of
contention or demonstrating unwillingness to the among colleagues will
impact there correspondence. In its place the colleagues ought to enter the
gathering with full goal on finishing there given assignment without negative
grumblings or remarks. Trust is one of the fundamental elements that
advance viable cooperation in light of the fact that colleagues towards
undertaking fulfillment are rendered outlandish or through and through
inaccessible without it. Colleague don't impart as much data to one another,
as they tend to bear a greater amount of the heap than they can earnestly
handle. It is difficult to take hazard regardless of the fact that it's carefully
computed if there is no trust. Siemens AG trust its worker as they take a shot
at venture that have danger components they comprehend that in doing
something creative there are danger included.
As the components' larger part that can redesign the participation can be a
block or demotivate their gathering. Correspondence is fundamental center
for the partner as without it they won't have the ability to go on their bearing
and offer information. Specialists in Siemens AG need to create as pioneers to
propel gainfulness as the partner gives musings others need to interpret its
mind boggling thoughts, as Siemens is known for its headway. Motivational
mien, It the associate trust that the target or errand was bound to fall level
they won't put a genuine effort. Besides if the pal have appraisal stressed
between each other can impact their thriving, as having a negative
conclusion can secure antagonistic work environment. Planting seeds of
dispute or exhibiting unwillingness to the among associates will affect there
correspondence. In its place the partners should enter the social affair with
among their colleagues to verify all the undertaking are finished powerful and
effectively. In the event that in a circumstance where one part is missing or
having issues it will guide and bolster them. As for the situation if their
methodology is more orders and creation arranged it will influence the
procedure, as the colleague will need backing. Inspiration is additionally a
vital variable in the authority as it drives the colleagues to accomplish and
use there shared potential in achieving the undertaking. Human asset
improvement is one the key component to energize the representative as in
Siemens AG, if a specialists needs to go to a preparation that can upgrade his
or her aptitude to have a superior vocation it is refreshing and consider. As
this element can influence the productivity of an individual so as group.
Siemens AG trusts that association is nothing without its kin; it has one of the
universes most productive and persuaded workforce. On the off chance that
Siemens AG breaks down their individual representative qualities and
shortcomings can give great chances to use their aptitudes totally to their
development. That will improve them to make compelling and proficient
groups.
apparatuses like Microsoft Lync and Skype to have there meeting's with there
virtual groups.
CONCLUSION
Siemens AG uses a flat structure as it supports them with hierarchical
arrangement of the line of power, right and communication. The authority in the
organization is down the chain of command that speeds the decision-making.
There task and role culture makes there flat structure more de-centralized. The
demerits are that they are unable to standardize this culture as they are widely
spread. The strong culture of the Siemen AG with their Peoples Excellence
makes them a High performance Culture. As they take there employee as there
competitive advantage.Siemens emotional intelligence is interconnected with
leaders whore revenue and growth figures were strong and these leaders put a
premium on collaboration and teamwork. The democratic leadership style used
in Siemens AG as the focus of the power is more with in the group a whole and
there is greater interaction within the groups. In the period of change Siemens
AG can use transformational leadership as it is compromised of idealized
influences, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual
consideration. As this approach will be more idealistic to motivate its staff in the
period of change. In motivational factors Herzberg theory can be applied in the
talent management as it can help them understand their individual employee.As
in Siemens AG leaders may think that getting their organizations to learn is only
a matter of enunciating a clear vision giving employee the right incentives and
providing a lots of training. This assumption is not wrong but is very risky as the
competition is getting intensified, technologies are changing and customer
preference is shifting. As Siemens AG needs to learn more than ever to confront
these forces; they must become a learning organization. Peter M. Sengess
flourished this concept in the 90s The Fifth Discipline. This approach can help
Siemens AG employees to cultivate tolerance, foster open discussion and think
holistically and systemically. As it will help Siemens to act upon the unpredictable
quickly then its competitors.
Siemens AG utilizes a level structure as it backings them with various leveled game
plan of the line of force, right and correspondence. The power in the association is
down the hierarchy of leadership that speeds the choice making. There assignment
and part culture makes there level structure more de-incorporated. The bad marks
are that they are not able to institutionalize this society as they are generally spread.
The solid society of the Siemen AG with their "People groups Excellence" makes
them a High execution Culture. As they take there representative as there aggressive
advantage.Siemens passionate insight is interconnected with pioneers prostitute
income and development figures were solid and these pioneers put a premium on
joint effort and collaboration. The majority rule initiative style utilized as a part of
Siemens AG as the power's center is more with in the gathering an entire and there is
more prominent connection inside of the gatherings. In the time of progress Siemens
AG can utilize transformational initiative as it is traded off of glorified impacts,
moving inspiration, scholarly incitement and individual thought. As this
methodology will be more optimistic to persuade its staff in the time of progress. In
motivational variables Herzberg hypothesis can be connected in the ability
administration as it can assist them with comprehension their individual
employee.As in Siemens AG pioneers may believe that getting their associations to
learn is just a matter of articulating an unmistakable vision giving worker the right
motivators and giving a loads of preparing. This presumption is not wrong but rather
is extremely hazardous as the opposition is getting heightened, advances are
changing and client inclination is moving. As Siemens AG needs to take in more than
at any other time in recent memory to go up against these strengths; they must turn
into a learning association. Dwindle M. Senges' prospered this idea in the 90's The
Fifth Discipline. This methodology can help Siemens AG workers to develop
resilience, foster open talk and think comprehensively and systemically. As it will
help Siemens to follow up on the unusual immediately then its rivals.
