At present teams in an organisation are cohesive, successful and operate independently
depending on the nature and location of the work. The introduction of competition between groups will heighten the cohesive aspect and reduce the cooperation overall.
In this organisation this will be accentuated by the intended change to the wage system, meaning that teams will compete for a share of a single bonus pool.
Some of these changes will be beneficial while others negative.
Which of the following is the beneficial change?
- Competition breeds selfish behaviour and the bonus share out will create winners.
- Teams may be selective in the jobs that they undertake.
- Teams will concentrate attention on improving productivity through streamlining working practices.
- There will be severe pressure on the sales person to put the interests of their team first.
