Time management techniques have regularly been used to improve employee productivity in many organizations. Identifying the time of the day when employees are more efficient helps the management better sequence the work during the week to maximize the productivity throughout the organization. However, when Morigo Inc. enforced a time-tracking software with this intent, it observed a sharp decline in the efficiency levels throughout the organization.
Type-paradox
Conclusion- when Morigo Inc. enforced a time-tracking software with the intent to improve employee productivity, it observed a sharp decline in the efficiency levels throughout the organization.
A. To attain maximum benefit from time tracking software, companies need to adapt their work processes to allow for time-based work assignment.- Irrelevant- we have no information to support that Morigo did not adapt their work processes to allow for time-based work assignment. Also, this statement talks about the attainment of the max benefit, so even if Morigo did not adapt their work processes to allow for time-based work assignment, even then the effect should not opposite - decline in efficiency
B. The highest improvement in efficiency has been recorded in the R&D department – a department that has the fewest employees in the company.- Irrelevant
C. Prior to the implementation of the time-tracking software, employees at Morigo Inc. had a better than industry standards efficiency.- Irrelevant - the baseline is not relevant. If Morigo had a better than industry standards efficiency, the improvement might be lesser than industry or at worst may be zero, but it should not be negative
D. In many cases, a drop-in employees’ productivity levels occurs when unplanned activities arise.- Irrelevant, we have no idea whether this is applicable to Morigo
E. Increased stress levels due to the perception that their work is being monitored closely has led to a drop in employees’ efficiency levels post the implementation of the time-tracking system.-
The workers were under stress and thus their efficiency plummeted. The decline in efficiency due to stress is larger than improvement in efficiency due to Time management techniques
Answer E
