First, workers are more motivated if their job offers a sense of community. A sense of community grows when workers get recognition for their accomplishments and when they believe their skills are being well used. Social organization in the workplace is i

Both the reading and the listening discuss motivation of workers. The reading states that the workers are more motivated according to the job offers. However, the lecturer contrast with specific points made in the reading passage. The professor says that a company with small group will be more successful.

The first point that the lecturer makes is that small group will be more efficient. According to the professor, small group will be under control to provide the things they are looking for. for instance, provide motivation, learn them the right attitude and quality that the company needs. This point from the lecturer contrasts with the reading because the reading only says that the workers will be motivated if their job offers a sense of community.

Another point that the lecturer uses to cast doubt on the reading is that the smaller the group the more the motivation. The lecturer claims that the smaller the group the more security they will gain. They will have sense of ownership. They will feel more valuable in organization. However, the reading only states that workers value traditional economic incentives such as pay and promotions.

Finally, the professor stated that, on the contrary of the reading, small group will give them more autonomy. In other words, their voice will be heard from their supervisors. supervisors have to accept the voice of workers. Because they have the right to set goals and evaluate results. This contradicts the final idea of the reading passage, because it only says that the most satisfying jobs are those with a high level of autonomy, in which employees can make their own decisions about the pacing and sequence of work with minimal supervision.
