Identifying specific job attitudes and work behavior of Ricardo:
Highly volatile business environment in the contemporary time is acting as a driving
force behind the firms to run their business in a comprehensive manner, as it is the way of
attaining competitive advantage. However, as the employees are the key assets of an
organization, it is imperative to understand their needs and requirements. There lies the
significance of appropriate management of the staffs, which plays a major role in generating
positive work attitude among them. Thus, it is the prime responsibility of the management of
corporate entities to take special care towards, keeping the workforce motivated, which is
extremely important factor to generate positive attitude among them.
According to the case study, Ricardo is one of the most loyal employees; working in the
accounts department is Sauder Linings & Seals (SLS). He is extreme attentive and dedicated
towards his work. The employer has given him utmost freedom to change the direction of his
work as per the requirement of business. However, it has been observed that, Ricardo is showing
reluctant attitude in the way of representing his department as the cross-functional work team
(CFWT). From the case study, it is evident that Ricardo lacks effective communication skill,
which is creating barrier for him to participate in the program. Thus, it can be said that, lack of
effective communication skill is making it difficult for the efficient employee like Ricardo to
take part in the company (Boon et al., 2018).
As per the case study, Ricardo is extreme dedicated towards his work. Still, as Ricardo
deals with the processing of payment, his nature of job does not require him to collaborate with
the coworkers, which is the fundamental reason, for which Ricardo is lagging behind effective
communication skill. Workplace collaboration plays a major role in amplifying workplace
communication among the staffs and thus leads them to generate brainstorming ideas.
