Consider each of the following three methods PF could use to motivate its employees. Which method should PF use? Justify your answer. - Paying bonuses - Piece-rate - Job rotation Paying bonuses: . . . . . Piece-rate: . . . . . Job rotation: . . . . . Recommendation: . . . . .

Justification might include:
- Paying a bonus is the best way to motivate the \(\mathbf{2 0}\) employees as this will add extra to their wages for the work they do producing shoes and encourage them to work harder. Paying piecerate may be difficult to calculate each week as employees do different jobs, and some may take longer than others. Job rotation may be difficult to introduce if the tasks are very different.
- Paying workers using piece-rate is the best way to motivate employees as this means that employees who work harder producing shoes will be rewarded with higher wages which will make them feel it is all worth the effort, based on Taylor's theory of motivation.
- Job rotation is the best way to motivate employees as this is the only one which makes the job of producing shoes more interesting and less boring. Money motivates only for a short time and then the effects will decrease.
