Managing employee separations with the reward system

Article Abstract:

Many executives are now implementing a new approach to cutting their workforce, and instead of forcing certain employees to leave the company are using reward systems to try and encourage the 'right' staff to volunteer to go. This trend is partly due to the legal constraints which make it increasingly hard to force an employee to quit. The reward system is the firm's benefit and pay policies: a company can adjust this system so that in terms of foregone earnings and benefits it becomes more attractive for a particular employee to leave the firm voluntarily than to stay.

Employee creative performance: what makes it happen?

Article Abstract:

Oldham and Cummings (1996) examined four factors that may influence employee creativity. These were creative personality, job complexity, supportive supervision and noncontrolling supervision. Their findings indicate that both job and personal characteristics affect employees' creative performance. In fact, the results suggest these four factors all have to be present to maintain creative performance. Suggestions for improving creative performance are offered.

Employee empowerment at risk: effects of recent NLRB rulings

Article Abstract:

Two National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rulings deemed the establishment of employee committees as unfair labor practice. Various executives were interviewed to determine the impact of these rulings on total quality management initiatives. Most executives have no plans of changing their employee empowerment programs at present. Many have adopted a wait-and-see attitude on future NLRB rulings on related cases. A need for labor law reform was also cited.
