similarities between herzberg's and maslow's?

[peterle1]

A similarity that exist between Maslow's hierarchy of needs and herzberg's two factor theorem is that both motivational theories agree that recognition of an employees achievement will encourage the employee to become more productive.

a bit more depth?
give me at least 4?

[peterle1]

you could say: herzbergs hygiene factors corresponds with the first 2 levels of maslow
and the motivational factor corresponds to self actualization, esteem and social needs

another similarity  is that both believe both one set of factors must be satisfied in for motivation to be achieved, i.e for maslows each step must be satisfied to progress and in herzberg Hygiene factors must be satisfied for motivation to occur.

anyway you can think of another similarity Mr "BM[50]"

Anything over 45 haha, 50 is a dream

Yeah you said most of them:

Both are content (needs) theories
Both have criteria as to what motivates individuals
Both use levels
Hertzberg’s hygiene factors correspond with Maslow’s physiological, safety needs as they have similar criteria
Hertzberg’s motivation factors correspond with Maslow’s social, self-esteem and self-actualisation needs as they have similar criteria

and I also need a bit of help on contrasting centralised and decentralised systems, I have the similarities under control, but I would like a few more in depth differences, throw some at me please haha?

Outline the drafting policy steps
1) pressure exist for policy to be developed e.g. OH&S reasons
2) research is conducted e.g. an analysis on who the policy will affect, the cost of implementation
3) stakeholders about the new policy that is going to be established
4)  the policy is drafted and circulated whereupon constructive criticism and feedback is taken into account
5) the policy is redrafted, finalized and then communicated to all stakeholders to ensure that they are all aware of the policy
6) the policy is reviewed through performance indicators to ensure that its implementation has been successful or if corrective action must be taken

How can manager create a desired corporate culture
Corporate culture refers to the shared values, beliefs and philosophies an organisation has. to ensure that a desired corporate culture is established a manager may have to adjust their management style to suit the needs of the employees.
another method for desired corporate culture is that managers may provide rewards and recognition for employees that reflect the behavioral standards needed for a change in corporate culture i.e. heroes
another method is managers may allow functions and celebrations to take place to establish a sense of community and belonging within the work place e.g. through xmas parties or birthday celebrations

Compare and contrast between operations and HRM functions
The operations of an organisations refers to the activities that the manager engages in the production of a good or service.
whereas the function of HRM is to coordinate the activities in maintain acquiring developing and terminating employees
a similarity between the two functions is that each function will aim to ensure that their objectives both work to aid the long term goals of the organisation through effective management of the employees
in contrast the function of human resources may be to ensure that their is a good relationship between the management and employees, whereas the operations function must ensure that their is a good relationship between the products and the employees.
another similarity is that both mangers in the functions use the management skill of communication for its employees to ensure taht information is effectively sent and received with feedback.


Identify Elements of the operation system and relate to good business ethics for each stage.

the three key elements of an operation system is the inputs, transformation and outputs. depending on the case the inputs can range from raw materials, capital and financial investments or experience and intelligence.
for a manufacturing organisation a car company can be used and if you have the jacaranda bus man text book with the suitcase with grass go to page 106-108 very useful
inputs refer to the raw material required for the process of production
transformation refers tot he conversion of inputs to outputs
and outputs refers tot he end result of the organisations effort in which the organisation will aim to deliver the product that most satisfies the customers expectations

a car manufacturer such as Holden, will require the inputs of raw materials such as steel and electricity, capital equipment such as factories, trucks and robotic machinery, the labor of employees who are highly skilled and learned in their functions, time and money. the transformation process will involve the design, the assembly process and the quality control of each product to ensure no faults are made, this can be reflected in the use of automated processes that ensure for consistency of the products. this will result in the final product being suited to the customers needs and profit generated for the organisation.

is that the centralised and decentraliased system in employee relations if so

A centralised system refers to the decisions being made regarding employee wages, conditions, rights and responsibility being governed by an award legislation that covers the entire industry whereas a decentralised system refers to a system in which decisions are made at the enterprise level, workplace level or individual level. This system is governed by the Workplace Relations Act 1996 which sets out minimum rights, responsible wages and other ‘safety net’ provisions and can ensure consistency throughout the industry
whereas the decentralised structure is instead able to provide greater communication between employers and employees which can improve their motivation levels through the development of cooperative spirits, but because the employees and employers maintain more control over wages than the government it means that the government has much more trouble managing the economy as there are inconsistencies throughout the industry.
