Case Study:
Saud works for a XYZ company as an administrative officer. He has been working there
for more than fifteen years. He is considered one of the most experienced employees of the
company. Saud is a graduate and has not upgraded himself in his tenure. His performance
is satisfactory in the routine work but has shown no interest and active participation in
changing the existing environment.
Hussain Alghassani is a Chairman of Company. He is a kindhearted person and always has
a soft corner for his employees. He has not fired a single employee from the company on
the basis of poor performance. He gives a good raise in salaries to those employees who
perform well and keep upgrading themselves. Saud is a middle-aged person having three
school going children. He is a bread earner of his family and the survival totally depends
on his salary. Due to his below average performance his salary has not been raised since
the last few years. Hussain knows very well about Saud and his family.
Tarique has recently joined as a Director, HR and Administration Department. He has got
a vast experience in HR departments of different well reputed universities. The meeting of
the board of directors is held regarding annual increment in the employees’ salaries.
Evaluating each employee’s performance is one of the meeting agenda. The meeting is
chaired by chairman, Hussain. When the discussion comes to Saud, the board gives
suggestions not to raise his salary due to his poor performance throughout the year. Tarique
is against the board and its suggestions. He says that not raising any employee’s salary for
many years is unethical and cannot be justified. He supports Saud by saying that he has
given more than fifty percent of his professional life and he deserves promotion as well as
increment. Tarique suggests the chairman, Hussain to fire Saud or promote him. Tarique
strongly believes that not raising salaries is a demotivating factor and has a negative effect
on employee’s behavior and performance. Tarique suggests Hussain to love or leave him.
