1. Do you think an employee's productivity is affected by whether they are satisfied or unsatisfied as an employee? Yes of course
Explain your answer. If an employee does not feel like there are important or is not satisfied with their work their work and productivity will always suffer. Nobody likes doing what we don’t want to. Sometimes we have too but it doesn’t mean we will excel at it. At our work I don’t like to paint, I will provide primer coats to a repair or touch up an area one of my workers have repaired but if it needs to be painted I let someone who likes to do it preform the task. This as I understand not only will they get job satisfaction from it (hey look at that shiny plane) but it will be a better job because they like it and will spend their time doing it correctly verses rushing through it so we can get on to the next thing.
2. In general terms, describe strategic HRM and its importance in the organization.
If I understand it correctly, it is the proactive management of people. This by thinking ahead of the problem, planning in ways for a company to better meet the needs of its employees, and provide a way for the employees to better meet the needs of a company. It is important as it can help point a direct or lead to the direction a company wishes to grow into or follow. In short, it is Strategic hiring and HRmanagement to facilitate strategic goals in the company.
