Discussion
Force that is most significant in my workplace and why
Working and learning is usually influenced by numerous forces, every force has its own
impact on the concept of working as well as learning. Some factors influence employees to work
in an effective manner and fulfill the organizational as well as personal goals whereas the same
force might provide an opportunity to employees who do not want to work hard. An example of
this includes the implementation of new technology includes usage of social media in the
workplace, this would allow the hard working employees to keep their concentration on work
because apart from their busy schedule they can get some time off and surf some social media
platforms (Noe & Winker, 2012). Unlike this, an employee might use this as an opportunity of
using social media for long period of time and not work at all. This concept provides refreshment
to an employee whereas makes another employee least productive.
Considering the pros and cons of every force, a force that has been most significant in my
present workplace includes the high performance models of work systems. This is the most
significant because it has helped the employees acquiring various skills present in the workplace
to assemble together and provide a service. This has increased the innovation power of the entire
organization. Cross training which falls under this force has helped providing training to the
employees in a huge range of skills; this is done so that they are capable of filling any roles that
