Problem

A. Discuss how the three different employee behaviours will be important (or not) for this new division.
B. What role will compensation play in promoting these behaviours?
C. What mix of compensation would you recommend? Do not worry about stating percentages but do identify how you would provide base pay and what performance pay you would recommend and why.
D. Based on the information provided, identify a constraint on compensation that this organization must consider?
E. Should they lead, lag, or match the market with their compensation? Why?
F. What is the difference between content and process theories of motivation? Provide an example for each.
