Q: Prompt: “The common notion that workers are generally apathetic about management issues is false, or at least outdated: a recently published survey indicates that 79 percent of the nearly 1,200 workers who responded to survey questionnaires expressed a high level of interest in the topics of corporate restructuring and redesign of benefits programs.”
Essay Format
The argument states about the general notion being that the workers are not interested in the management decisions taken time to time, is wrong and the contrary it was found that they responded vehemently to a series of questionnaire in topics of corporate restructuring and benefits programs. Stated in such a way, the argument is not expressed clearly and presented in a distorted way, unsupportive and is a leap of faith reasoning without clear outcomes. The support which the author took was a survey which was of small size compared to the industries size in today’s scenarios.
First the author suggests that out of 1200 workers who participated in the survey, roughly 950 respondents showed a high level of interest in corporate restructuring and benefits programme. Again, this is a weak assumption as the survey taken was of small size. The author also fails to recognise, what if the workers were highly motivated or were boot lickers of management. The author also fails to mention the survey group ie the industries it encompassed, failing which it is not very clear to establish the decisions. Unless the author engulfs survey of many industries with a large number of survey respondents, any conclusions would be murky to arrive on the facts.
Second, the author also suggests of the respondents of surveys were interested in corporate restructuring and benefits programs. Clearly again this is a weak survey. There are certain tough and bad decisions often taken in corporate restructuring and benefits programme. So the interest shown by workers can also be an outcome of the fear factor of the restructuring programme. Unless stated explicitly with proper examples, the statement appears baseless and more of a wishful thought.
Finally, the major flaw in the suggestion that by merely jumping on judgement by a cursory review of the facts should not be encouraged as it contains flaws, which can be very well understood from above piece of hypothesis in the argument. Had the author come up with proper analysis irrespective qualitative or quantitative or volumetric, labour markets, market trends etc, it could have been a much wiser step.
In conclusion, the argument remains flawed for the reasons cited above. The author should present facts corroborated with relevant facts and developments if any. From the survey as conducted by author, he should have tries=d to have a holistic industrial survey with a large number of respondents. In order to access the merit of the certain situation the author should have full access of the knowledge and measures to increase the same. Without this information the argument remains unsubstantiated and open to debate.
