The following appeared in an memorandum from the head of a human resources department at a major automobile manufacturing company to the company s managers
Studies have found that employee of not-for-profit organizations and charities are often more highly motivated than employees of for profit corporations to perform well at work when their performance is not being monitored or evaluated. Interviews with employee of not-for-profit organizations suggest that the reason for their greater motivation is the belief that their work helps to improve society. Because they believe in the importance of their work, they have personal reasons to perform well, even when no financial reward is present. Thus, if our corporation began donating a significant portion of its profits to humanitarian causes, our employees motivation and productivity would increase substantially and our overall profits would increase as well.
The memorandum is wrote by the human resource supervisor of automobile company to supervisor s manager conclude that the profit-company should donate their profit to charities, which help society a better world. Supervisor give an example from studies that employee of not-for-profit company have a greater productivity and motivation than those of profit-company. Employees who work for charities company explain that they consider their contribution could help society even they have not receive a financial reward. Supervisor believe that if automobile company do so, company s employees will respond to their performance as a effect.
Firstly, the letter that supervisor provide assumes that the profit-company s donation have a positive motivation as not-profit company do. The conclusion is unclear because profit-company still doing business to gain more revenue and does not consider their job as charities.
Secondly, the studies that supervisor mention is not clarify enough to prove that the motivation of not-for-profit organization employee is depend on their performance of work or the contribution of work. To strengthen the argument the studies should have provide the information whether not-for-profit organization employee still have a great motivation from restricted monitoring.
Thirdly, the supervisor believe that only automobile company s employee improve their performance. Thus, company s profit will rise. However, the supervisor does not concern other factor determine the outcome of company such as the operating cost, the administration cost, the future investment project. Those would be the key factor determine company s profitability.
To strengthen the argument, the memorandum need to clarify several issues: the comparison between not-for-profit company and profit-company objective, the validity of motivation of not-for-profit company employee and the other factors determine company s profit. Without those evidences, the argument remains flawed and problematic.
