Case Study No. 7
BATANGAS POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE: The Morning After
Problem: Engineer Lazaro is contemplating on how she will survive and face the
two serious problems.
Objective:
1. To identify what will Engineer Lazaros way to overcome the problem she is
facing.
Solution:
Engineer Lazaro is facing two serious problems. First is that she is formulating
an immediate solution to the shortage of teachers in her area of concern, it was
stated that there were good Engineers in their area but they are not attracted by
the prospect of teaching engineering subjects. I think it is better for her to motivate
those engineers in teaching by means of giving reasons or incentives in order to
achieve a good performance and this might motivate these engineers to teach in
their school as professors of the Engineering Department. If she could motivate
these engineers to teach engineering subjects, it will lessen her concerns or
problems. Her second problem was on how to keep the incumbent ones satisfied
with their jobs. Motivation is the process of activating behavior, sustaining it and
directing it toward a particular goal, which means it is helpful for Engineer Lazaro to
use this because it specifies three stages including activating, sustaining and
directing. These three are very helpful by means of acting through motivating these
incumbent ones to stay in their jobs, motivating them through different acts of
motivation like giving reasons on why should they stay in their jobs and giving
incentives in order to make them perform much better than their past
performances.
Recommendation:
I would recommend that Engineer Lazaro should motivate not only the
incumbent ones and Engineers who are not attracted by the prospect of teaching
engineering subjects but also she should motivate herself. Motivation techniques
would be a great help in order to attain or achieve their organizations goal. By
motivating techniques, it would help especially if the person likes where he is
assigned, he would perform well because he is highly motivated.
