HRM Pod-Synergy Case Study Assessment Answer

Assignment Task: Self-Managed Performance Management& Goal-Setting Theory. As part of an annual performance review a group of workers who say they have high “pod-synergy”approach management and present a proposition. They would like to form a Self-Managed Work Team (SMWT) and be given more autonomy in the way they approach their work (job crafting, see Bakker Demerouti, 2017 on BlackBoard). The group have discovered they are enjoying their workplace so much they would like to increase their work hours (from approximately 38 to 45 per week – see case study 5.1 p. 213)). Management is considering the request,but are concerned as to whether this may lead to a productivity boost or could it be a recipe for burnout?Note: You can assume there are no significant cost implications regarding overtime. In consideration of the request, management ask the HR department (your group) to explore whether the group should be given approval to work as a SMWT. You are required to develop a 2500-wordreport for management that explores the pros and cons of working as a SMWT, and the argument from goal-setting theory that in a SMWT they can craft their job and increase morale, self (and group) efficacy/potency and performance. In developing the report several questions/issues need to be considered and used to develop the proposal to management. Your report should briefly include the following concepts:

1. What are the key pros and cons of SMWTS?
2. Outline goal-setting theory (in more detail than provided on p. 338 of the text by exploring relevant literature).
3. Is there a link between team-morale and productivity? (consider Job Crafting, see the article Bakker Demerouti, 2017 on BlackBoard).
4. How might the group intend to moderate burnout risk using just performance management (see pp. 501-502 of text and Whiteoak, 2014 on Boredom-Coping on BlackBoard).
5. Develop your own figure that models the links among the concepts described in your report. (e.g., see Job-Demands Resource Theory, Figure 1).

To support the report your manager has requested that you also collect some “primary data” to support the recommendations and conclusions. Use the survey instrument provided (link to be provided on BB) to find out from a sample (15 + responses) of Australian Workers who have been employed or self-employed for three years or more. The survey explores “pod-synergy”, burnout, morale, and hours worked. It also measures a range of other relevant demographic variables. The data collected will be analysed for you and provided in aggregated form to each group to support the development of recommendations and conclusions for the organization. The final report will include the conclusions drawn based on the literature review and the “real-world” data set. Your five best recommendations for management should be included.
