(Continuation from first page..)
14. You are the Executive Director
of an upcoming Infotech Company
which is making a name for itself
in the market.
Mr. A, who is a star performer,
is heading the marketing team. In
a short period of one year, he has
helped in doubling the revenues as
well as creating a high brand
equity for the Company so much
so that you are thinking of promoting him. However, you have been receiving information from many corners about his attitude towards the female colleagues, particularly his habit of making loose comments on women. In addition, he
regularly sends indecent SMS's to
all the team members including his
female colleagues.
One day, late in the evening
Mrs. X who is one of Mr.A's team
members, comes to you visibly disturbed. She complains against the
continued misconduct of Mr.A,
who has been making undesirable
advances towards her and has
even tried to touch her inappropriately in his cabin.
She tenders her resignation and
leaves your office.
a) What are the options available
to you?
b) Evaluate each of these options
and choose the option you
would adopt, giving reasons.

Q 8.
a) Read the following instances carefully and suggest what specific
perspectives on organizational
psychology of motivation would
help the concerned organization
to reconcile the needs of the
following four persons with the
needs of the organization:
30 Marks
i) Mr. A comes to his office with
clocklike punctuality; does his
work with impeccable honesty
and integrity; takes order from
above gladly; responds well to
overtures by peers; but neither
mixes with anyone himself nor
seeks anyone's company. What is
more, he seems quite happy in
his isolation.
ii) Mr. B is an efficient charge-hand
at the welding shop. He is very
outgoing and makes friends fast,
but falls out with them very fast
too. He is, however, easily pacified when anyone asks him to
calm down in the name of the
organization.
iii) Dr. C is completely happy and
absorbed when he is teaching in
the classes, and does not at all
mind when his workload gets heavier and covers new areas. But
he gets angry when the finance
section raises objections about
his medical bills; and is furious
that the higher administration is
yet to give him full tenure.
iv) Mr. D is a metallurgist in the forge shop of the steel plant, and has
received honours for his innovativeness in modifying conventional alloys. He also paints well and values his painting skills
far more than his metallurgy and
is extremely unhappy that the company house journal did not finally carry his water sketch on its
front cover.
b) Suppose the Government of
India is thinking of constructing
a dam in a mountain valley girded by forests and inhabited by
ethnic communities. What rational techniques of policy analysis
should it resort to for coping with
likely uncertainties and unforeseen contingencies? 20 Marks
