Investigating The Factors That Were Prevalent And Hampered...

The purpose of this report is to investigate the major factors that were prevalent and hindered the teamwork at Oceanic Consultants Pvt Ltd, India in the year-2012 when I joined the organization as an academic counsellor. 1. IMPORTANCE OF MOTIVATION AND LEADERSHIP IN TEAMWORK Both motivation and leadership are the foundation to a company’s success and in the absence of any of these a company can loss its position and reputation in the market. These two factors helps the employees to behave and perform in certain way by keeping them orderly and focused to accomplish a goal (Bowditch et al., 2008). It gives a perceptual check to individuals to help them to sense the world by establishing social reality and providing meaning to events and situations (Nahavandi, 2012). I am going to use following theories in support of my points:- †¢ Herzberg’s Two factor Theory †¢ McGregor’s Theory X, Theory Y †¢ Situational Leadership Theory †¢ Path Goal Leadership Theory 2 DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS 2.1 Lack of motivation and effective communication among employees When I joined the organization I found that all the employees preferred individuality over team work. The major problems that the firm was experiencing, was lack of motivation among its employees. They did not have any specified goal and were not given responsibilities to perform which results in a lack of initiative. Even the company policies were very rigid and for the same domains the pay structure was entirely differentiated.
