overall efficiency and productivity of the organization and individual. So there are many challenges
that a team has to faced and also makes the experience of the Team more frustrating .

 Problem
 Lack of Communication is the problem of the team work as members of the team members are not
able to communicate properly with each other.

Common causes
 As said by (Margañón, Garúz and Moya, 2019) The common causes of the lack of communication is
personal issues, unclear objectives to the team members, Poor leadership are considered as the common
causes of this problem.
 Effects
 The lack of communication enables the negative influence on the members of the team and also the
productivity of the organization. It also spoils the relationship, lost revenues, unclear messages wasted
time as well as resources. It is also responsible for the low employee morale as well as higher
turnover rates .
 Example
 One of the best example of the poor communication is focusing the problems rather than the solution
such as calling the employees lazy rather than motivating them to better productivity also terminate the
employees .

Managers solution
 The problem which is coming in team work is communication.
 Manager can bring out solution that they can motivate employees to have an open communication
with each other. This will help them in analysing the problems which are being faced by the
employees.
 It will support them in making team more efficient. They can also engage in collaborative working as
communication can create conflict among them.
 Open communication will support them in bringing the team together.
 It will develop the feeling of belongingness in mind of employees. This will reduce the turnover of
employees. This manager strategies can help them in solving the problems faced by organizations.

Application of theory
 According to (Marques-Hayasaki, Roca-Cuberes and Casellas, 2016) Communication
accommodation theory can be used by managers in this context. Communication Accommodation
Theory describes when people accommodate or adjust their communication styles to others
 These changes in verbal and nonverbal styles are done through two ways: divergence and convergence.
 Divergence is used to highlight group identity through touting the differences of the group they
identify with.
 This can help managers in situation of bad communication. This can make team more efficient and
growing .

Likelihood of success-
 The likelihood of success is high. This theory will help managers in making the situations better. It will
also help them in making team more efficient. If the efficient team works in organization then this will
help managers in increasing the productivity of organization. This can also help them in making
employees adjusting to changing environment.
 Example of the situation
 Like for example Tesco has implemented this theory. In this they have made team more effective and
efficient. It has supported firm in growing. This has also helped them in removing the problems related
to miss communication. By applying it they can achieve firms objectives.

Team problem 2
 Poor Time management- It is considers as the problem as tasks are not competed on the time given
to the team members. It is also crucial for the personal and professional life both. It also develops
the procrastination of the tasks.
 Causes – Poor punctuality, Impatience and poorly defined goals as well as rushing are the causes of the
Poor time management.
 Effects- Due to the Poor management team becomes lazy, procrastinate the tasks and reduced the
productivity of the organization
 Example- Due to lack of times management employees are facing the issues like problem solving. As
people are not complete their assignment on time.

Application theory
 Management solution- Mangers can provides the motivation to the employees and provides them some
approaches so that they can overcome this problem. Manager also develops a routine or schedule a routine
for the task provided to the employees.
 Application theory
 As elucidated by (Scolari and et.al., 2018) Pickle jar theory applies here Time is just like a Jar of Pickles
that Has limited space. Fill the jar with large size of stones. Stones stands for Roles, commitments and
objectives . The jar has some empty space even it is filled with the large size of stones. Such space can be
filled with pebbles. The pebble shows that roles of the tasks which are smaller but are crucial and urgent.
 Pebbles- represents tasks that are important and urgent.
 Rocks- Tasks which are at highest priority with timelines as well as are of high values .It also impact most
of the people within organization.
 Sand represents Urgent tasks but not so vital.
 Water represents unimportant tasks that leads to the time wastage and also neither urgent or important.

Success of the theory
 It suggest that the employees pay attention to the Rocks which are important tasks but specially to the
pebbles which takes less time and important for the organisation. and every task provided to them as
managers properly watch all the tasks given to them .
 Example
 Nestle implemented Pickle jar theory, and they pay attention to their pebbles tasks which takes less
time and important for the company and this gives the efficient results to the company.

CONCLUSION
 From the above it had been concluded that there is proper communication in the team so
that it can maintain the productivity of the organization as lack of communication is not appropriate
also time management skills are also crucial as it prevents from the procrastination.
 So Pickle jar theory is applied as employees pay attention to small task which takes less time and
simultaneously important for the organisation.
