Having worked in a small juice production company, performance was a key factor as you are provided with an explicit clue on how hard you are supposed to work and the impact it translates to the organization. Working in a small group company, everyone’s performance was monitored and this encouraged me in working harder as those who performed above the company’s expectations were rewarded. The appearance was also a key factor as we were dealing with foodstuff. We had uniforms which were supposed to be clean and well maintained as they printed the image of the company. The organization was small, translating to few workers. social life was more interactive to few members which increased respect, and loyalty. It never gave room for gossips and low productivity compared to big group organizations. Resource allocations were easy as pay translated from our production, and one’s performance lead to higher pay and promotions. (Borry, et al., 2017). (504words)
