Statuary compensation in the United States: Workers compensation laws were enacted to make litigation less costly for both sides and to eliminate the need for injured the workers to prove their injuries were the employers “fault”. The 1st state legal regulations was passed in Maryland in 1902, and the 1st legal regulations covering federal employees was passed in 1906. By 1949, all states had enacted a few type of workers compensation regime.
This system was originally known as “workmen’s compensation”. Today, most jurisdictions have adopted the term workers compensation as a gender neutral option.
Q.4: B) Can an individual be too motivated, so that his or her performance declines as a outcome of excessive effort. explain.
ANS:
Yes, it is possible that an individual is too motivated such that his or her performance declines due to excessive effort. A highly motivated individual will have compelling drive to excel and succeed. They differentiate themselves from others by their desire to do things better. They put in excess effort because they are very happy with the job they are doing. High achievers will be highly motivated.
But it is also actual that motivation if increased will lead to a person trying to innovate are put in more efforts. But this has a limiting effect and could lead to declined performance and will not be in line to the motivation.
Example: In case of worker with limited skill he will be able to produce X items. In the hours provided by motivation he will be able to churn out x+ items in the identical number of hours. If we increase the motivation factor. The worker will tend to over exert and continue on to produce X+n_+n which is initially more than the X+n. but if the job is something to do with physically or mentally exhaustion then the factors like environmental and human body condition will prevent him in the identical and will have breakdown due to fatigue. This leads him to be absent or outcome in much less then through could then expect. This outcome is definitely less than what the goal setting was.
The identical example could be applied to people working on research on technological areas where the mental fatigues will definitely insure that excessive motivation may outcome in declined performance. The organization has to have a very holistic picture when the goal and setting and motivation factors are designed.
