TASK 3
It is very important to motivate employees so that their performance is maintained and
goals are achieved in time. also, motivating employees helps in creating a positive environment
within organization. Moreover, employees put more efforts in completing their task and in this
way, productivity is enhanced (Billing and Tett, 2018). Encouraging employees also helps in
growth and development. Without motivating them it is very difficult to retain them. There are
many motivational theories that are applied by Coca Cola which is described below :-
Maslow's need hierarchy theory- it is basic and most common theory applied by companies. It
consists of five needs in hierarchical way that is shown below :-
Physiological needs- it includes basic needs required for individual to live. They are food, cloth,
shelter, etc. without this, it is not possible for human to live.
Safety needs- they are security needs that compromise of security from theft, disaster, etc. also,
it includes law, stability, etc.
Social needs- this need include interpersonal relationship like family, friends, love, etc. they are
belongingness needs.
Esteem needs- These needs are related to self-respect. It includes self confidence, competence,
achievement, knowledge and independence.
Self- Actualisation needs- These needs define the higher human needs, in other words these
needs are related to the fame and achievement in life
Advantage-
 Coca Cola encourages employee to fulfil their basic needs. They put more hard efforts to
attain goals and live a healthy and better life.
 Employee remain motivated as their needs gets fulfilled constantly. Moreover, in every
department or location in which Coca Cola operate this theory can be applied.
Disadvantages-
 Sometimes, this theory is not applicable as it lacks motivational force and employees’
needs are not fulfilled. This creates a negative impact on their performance as well as
Coca Cola culture.
Hertzberg two factor theory- It contains two factors that are described below :-
Hygiene – in this there are several factors included that are pay, policies, tools and equipment’s
etc. that are essential to motivate employees (Herzberg’s two factor theory. 2018).
7

Motivational – it includes the factors that are essential to enhance employee performance. These
includes growth, achievement, etc. (Roos and Von Krogh, 2016) with this employee remain
satisfied with job.
Advantage
 It clearly helps in finding what are the employees individual and behaviour needs
 These factors automatically motivate employees to work hard.
Disadvantage –
 This theory is not applied in changing behavior situation of employees.
 Manager is not able to control some factors like personal life.
It is stated that in Coca Cola Hertzberg two factor theory is applied. They provide high
pay, fringe benefits, etc. to encourage employees. moreover, it enables manager to improve
employee behaviour by fulfilling their needs. For this, they encourage them by setting
challenging goals and recognising their achievement, providing growth opportunities, etc. it
ensures that employee remain satisfied with job and loyal towards Coca Cola.
TASK 4
The teams at Coca-Cola can deliver the desired outputs only when each of the team
members works with full efficiency. However, the behaviour and work efficiency of the people
may vary at work place depending upon the different organisational factors. The interaction and
attitude of higher authorities towards team members can motivate or discourage them. For
instance in Coca-Cola all employees and team members are free to share their opinion and
feedbacks. This transparency and openness encourages team members to always think innovative
(Rahman, Mordi and Nwagbara, 2018). On the other hand if company will not support the
opinions of team members and will not give them rewards for their innovations then team
members may not find it useful to make additional efforts in tasks and team work.
Coca-Cola also support the effective coordination and communication between team
members so that they can work with more ease. To achieve this organisation ensures that team
members are aware of each other and can easily communicate with each other. The lack of
interaction between team members will not lead to qualitative work and company may find it
difficult to solve problems. The conflicts between team members are not considered as healthy
for the overall performance of organisation. Coca-Cola pays specific attention to each and every
team member so that team conflicts can be easily resolved.
8

The key factor which leads to conflicts among teams is that members may feel that their
work is not recognised and other members are given more priority by the organisation. These
conflicts can prevent organisation to achieve its functional goals. In order to assure that such
conflicts never takes place within Coca-Cola company evaluate the performance of every team
member so that they do not realise that their efforts are not appreciated (Middlewood and Abbott,
2017). The team members regularly interact with other members so that they can share their
issues with the leaders. Such interaction is essential for Coca-Cola to maintain the integrity of its
team.
To improve performance and behaviour of individuals at work the organisation also has
reward system. Organisation uses various motivational theories and means to motivate its team
members so that they are always energetic and efficient. For improving the coordination and
performance of teams the organisation can conduct various informal sessions. These sessions
provide team members an opportunity to know each other and to develop an emotional
attachment. The emotional appealing not only deliver excellent results but also encourage
employees to increase their participation and presence in various team and organisational events.
Another strategy which can be used by Coca-Cola to improve the behavioural aspects of
its team members is that company must evaluate the performance of every member instead of
evaluating only overall team performance (Bell and Harrison, 2018). Further the organisation
must have deep analysis of skills of each members so that efficient teams can be formed. The
team leaders must also monitors that if there are conflicts between members then they must be
resolved at the earliest so that quality of work is not affected.
CONCLUSION
From the report it can be concluded that for retaining the long term success it is important
for the organisation to manage its human resources and teams effectively. The behaviour of an
individual not only affects only their performance but also has significant impact on the outputs
of entire team. The report has evaluated the impact of recruitment process on effectiveness of
organisation and its goal achievements. It has also described the motivational theories and their
role in affecting the performance of individuals.
The document has also discussed various strategies for training and development
programs followed by organisation so that its human resources can keep their knowledge and
skills update. Hence, it can be concluded from the report that management of people must be an
9

integral part of the organisational policies so that it can achieve its long term objectives and
profits goals.
