Contemporary Issues face line management faces when it comes to People Management.
There are various issues which is faced by line management at the time of people
management. This creates issues for management in negative manner. This creates most
effectiveness for the people management (Feng, 2020). Those issues are related adapting
innovation and compensation. Those are very important aspects which is faced by line
manager at the time of people management in innovation and compensation system.
Explanation of those are as follows:
Adapting to Innovation:
Innovation is the think which is come when people working into management. At the
time of innovative thinking and work. Management need to give complete information about
innovation to employees not to hide anything which is creates effectiveness for employees
because through that employees have complete details about the innovation and have able to

done work in effective manner. Like Sainsbury want to innovate online shopping app in that
line manager need to organize training and development session for employees to work in
better manner. This help to employees in order to know as working process and managing
thinks in proper way. In respect to that line manager of company can use theory of innovation
which is help to work in effective manner (Samson, Donnet and Daft, 2020). Diffusion
theory is innovation is help to explain all those things like how, over time, an idea and
product gain. With the help of this, line management able to give complete details about
innovation to employees like how to do, system and equipment uses, technology uses in
effective manner. This gives complete and detailed information to employees by line
management .
Compensation:
Compensation is the another important system where people work on critically
evaluate the things in effective manner. This is the complete and total cash and no cash
payments which is give to an employee in exchange for the work do far for the business. This
typically one biggest expenses for business with employees. That is more than an employee
regular paid wages. Like ASDA paid compensation to their employees where people have
thinks they paid against of their work at the workplace (Juarez Tarraga, Santandreu Mascarell
and Marin Garcia, 2019). For example employee give their hard contribution for achieve
goals and objectives of company then in that role of line management to give fair and
performance based compensation to the employees is help to maintain the trust of employees
in effective manner. In respect to that management need to use equity theory which is
suggested that employees action will be changed based on their perception of how they are
paid in comparison to their co-workers. This theory said that provide compensation to
employees which is based on their performance is help to maintain complete employees at
workplace.
Those are the contemporary issues which are faced by line management at the time of
working on people management at the workplace in effective manner. Here is management
have need to work on it, in order to handle issues and problems at workplace. Those are
issues are created through innovation management and compensation system of company. At
the time of adopting innovation employees faces problems which are related with process of
work and use of technology (Townsend and Hutchinson, 2017). On the other side,
compensation system and plan making is very difficult process where management have need
to work with fair and performance based compensation system in effective manner.

effectiveness for business to achieve goals and objectives of company in effective manner. In
respect of that people manger need to follow Autocratic leadership style which is help to
maintain trust and motivation into the people. In this leadership style management can take
ideas and points of views of employees is help to motivate employees. On the other side,
people manager can use situational leadership style in which people manager can take
decision as per the situation in effective manner.
Motivating:
Motivation is another important thinks in which management need to maintain the
quality of work. People manager should have motivating qualities which is help to motivate
employees towards work. This creates more effectiveness in people work. Motivations is the
art of getting thinks done into the business place. Like if people manager of Sainsbury not
motivation quality when employees are highly affected because in the absence of motivation
quality employees are not able to do work with higher motivation in effective manner. In that
management need to work with theories of motivation (Tshamano, 2020). Adams equity
motivation theory is the best theory of motivation in that manager give motivation, rewards
and appreciations as a input which is give the best output which is result of work. This creates

more effectiveness for business in effective manner. With the help of this theory people

front of all the employees (Luţaş and Beleiu, 2020). This creates more effectiveness for
