1. For Johnsons of Whixley

2. Why team building and motivation
 This presentation shows ideas and guidance on what
approach to use when organising the strategy of the
business
 The degree of motivation and effectiveness of
successful team building can determine on overall
production and expansion of a business as well as
employee satisfaction..

3. FW Taylor (1856 – 1917)
 FW Taylor (1856 – 1917) put forward the idea that
workers are motivated mainly by pay and stated that
workers do not naturally enjoy work and so need close
supervision and control. For that reason managers
should break down production into a series of small
tasks.
 Workers are then paid according to the number of
items they produce in a set period of time- piece-rate
pay. As a result, workers are encouraged to work hard
and maximise their productivity.

4. Adams et al. (2002),
In their study on understanding team effectiveness, identified
seven characteristics as the main elements that need to be present
in the process of teaming in order for the team to be effective.
 For effective team development, the following characteristics
include;
 productive conflict resolution,
 mature communication,
 role clarity,
 accountability,
 interdependence,
 goal clarification,
 common purpose and
 psychological safety.

5. Elton Mayo
 On the other hands, we can consider Elton Mayo
approach in a case study who believed that workers are
not just concerned with money but could be better
motivated by having their social needs met whilst at
work.
 According to Mayo, business organization is basically a
social system, it is not just a techno-economic system
and that better communication between workers and
managers, greater manager involvement in employees
working lives, and working in groups or teams
motivates people at work

6. Tuckman’s
 Tuckman’s model of team formation where the
effective team is the issue of a common goal.
 By Tuckman, “In team development, the group learns
how to make decisions and take those actions that will
lead to better efficiency, productivity, product quality,
and quality of work life.”

7. The True group by L. Ron Hubbard
(1982):
 According to the writing of The True group by L. Ron
Hubbard (1982): “True group is one which has ideals,
ethics, rationale and a dynamic to carry forth its ideas
and rationale on the ethics standard it has selected”.
 Based on the above, the management could assist the
group making sure the people who work in the
company understand and agree with it’s purposes and
expectations as well as moral values.

8. Belbin (1993, 2010)
 According to Belbin (1993, 2010) basic requirements for an
effective, high-performance team
 has a “clear purpose, all are committed to the team’s goals, roles
and assignments are a source of personal meaning to the
members;
 The atmosphere is positive, close, friendly and trusting;
 All members participate and there is participative leadership;
 Diversity and interdependence are valued;
 Communication is open and information is shared; feedback is
regular;
 Conflict is dealt with openly and resolved.
 If this were applied successfully then the company was able to
solve all upcoming problems related to change and growth.
