Your company promoted you to a management position in a new research facility in India. Surprisingly, you have adjusted to the new culture, language, and city, despite never having lived outside the country before. You arrive to work early to get a jump start on your day and notice on the payroll report that there are a few employees who have taken an occasional three-day weekend. None of the employees have taken a full week off, however. You know from previous management training classes that overworked employees are more prone to stress-related health issues and less safe at work. You must also consider the company’s bottom line. You want your employees to take more time off work to enjoy time with friends and family, but how? Please respond to the following questions: Which motivational theory or theories do you think would help communicate the importance of vacation time to your employees? How would you convince your employees that taking time off work is more beneficial in the long run for them and for the company?

Read the Chapter 7-9 of the book,? I uploaded)  Out of all the reading assignments, prepare a Discussion Question (DQ). The DQ should focus on something about the material that you found to be INTERESTING, STIMULATING, IMPORTANT, UNCLEAR, or CONTROVERSIAL. Prepare only one DQ (not one from each reading source or chapter).  (I don’t think you should read all of those, just skim it and find a part you are interested in and write the DQ based on that)The DQ example:   — When implementing Management by Walking Around (p. 12), how do you find a balance between being holed up at your desk versus risking your employees feel that you are micromanaging them? Do you see examples of this happening in your office? Besides, you should also reply to the other two DQs from others. You can comment on others’ DQ once you have submitted yours. So after you deliver the answer of your DQ, I’ll send you two of the others’ DQs, and please reply to them.
