I have attached a PowerPoint
presentation below, which includes all the theories you can choose from. The
theories are categorized into three central groups: Psychological, Economic,
and Organizational & Sociological.
Please select two theories from any of
these categories that best fit the purpose of assessing the contribution of
theory in the design and implementation of an employee reward policy.
Presubmission guidelines
•Indication of boundaries of theories – any constraints? Limitations? Exceptions
where not applicable?
•Flowing from this … what use can an HR manager make from these theories?
•Students are required to describe the selected theories and assess the worth of the theories. (There
is no necessity for a detailed implementation plan).
•You must seek to demonstrate the value of the theories to a manager
who:
1) wishes to introduce a new employee reward
system
2) are there lessons, from the theories, as to how the system
should be operated?
•In summary, keep
in mind the question – “Do HR theories have anything to offer to an HR manager?”
