VCE Business Management Question Thread!

3) not sure about this, but a tip is: this is the only AOS really where ethics and social responsibility isnt need. There might be a question but it is very unlikely, if your doing AOS1A like me, they will ask questions on the theories of motivation, employee expectations and establishment phase.


Yeah I 100% agree. Except we received a 3 marker based on ethics and social responsibility towards the end of the SAC without a case study. Little weird but oh well

if you look at past exams (our teacher did this) their is none based on AOS1 in last 7 years, and our sacs dont contain it either.

Yeah I don't understand it, it just appeared on our SAC for some reason

It also appeared as a 6 marker on our school's SAC.

[LiquidPaperz]

That's weird haha. Ours is basically selection process, employee expectations and motivational theories and some other small bits, that's about it!

What effects does job insecurity have on the organisation?

[LiquidPaperz]

Think about yourself being in the organisation and your job is at threat? what do you think it will affect?

motivation, trust, loyalty just to name a few....

What effects does job insecurity have on the organisation?

well, first of all, employees would lose trust in the organisation (as mentioned by LiquidPaperz) and would result in demotivation. This would in turn affect productivity and the organisation's ability to achieve their corporate objectives.

Another effect that could perhaps occur is an increase in staff turnover so as to join competitors. This would come at a huge cost to the organisation as they would have to advertise the vacancy, spend time on designing the job and the interview period.

there are a lot more things that could be affected but these are the first few things that come to mind ....

does anyone have any specific examples when confronted with a question with Lockes goal setting theory. i know all the content and aspects of the theory, but what are some goals an employee could set?

cheers
