Identification of the Problem . The Creative Toys Company, a small firm that specializes
in producing small wooden toys, was started by John Wilson. The company is proud of
its history, stability and growth in the industry. Low turnover rates are result of good
wages and fringe benefits. One department in particular the transportation department
had been highly productive.
Interventions could include training and development, team interventions such as team
building for management or employees or the establishment of change teams, structural
interventions, or individual interventions Once the intervention is planned, it is
implemented. During and after the implementation of the intervention, relevant data is
gathered. The data gathered would be determined by the change goals. For example, if
the intervention were training and development for individual employees or for work
groups, data to be gathered would measure changes in knowledge and competencies.
This data is used to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.

The role of social system in the case was highly important because in
the organization, The Creative Toys Company, all the people in it and
their relationships to one another are mutually interdependent. This
was evident in the case wherein in the transportation department, the
eight members divided their work among themselves in order produce
more toys. Thus, at the beginning, their department surpassed all
other departments in production for 12 months.
There are a lot of factors that motivate people. Some motivations are
just because of a deadline, some because of the rewards they get for
doing a great job, or just the self fulfilment involved in the whole
process of doing the job. Motivation also contributes a lot in the quality
of output or work and plays a good role in maximizing a person’s
potential. Making a person feel important, and giving him the proper
respect and value as a person will make him feel motivated to do
better and maintain this image that you have of him especially if you
are the boss. Although, giving a person a reason not to get motivated
can have its toll on you as a leader and as part of an organization that
is output oriented. Lack of motivation will transform a person’s point of
view towards work, lack of motivation will turn every task into a burden
instead of an opportunity to strive and do better. In the case, Mr.
Wilson probably was a nice boss due to the fact that his workers has
stayed with him for at least 2 years. The problem comes in when there
is an issue involving all workers that affect their motivation to work,
which is their low salary. No matter how much changes to the system
Mr. Wilson does, the results stayed the same because this one issue
has caused the workers to not strive to do better anymore. They
lacked the motivation to prove their worth to Mr. Wilson by actually
trying to do more than what is expected of them.
