Library Research Assignment Tom is driving his brand-new sports car to work. He is very proud of his car because it took a long time to save for his down payment. While stopped at a four-way intersection, he was waiting to proceed into the intersection when another vehicle cut him off. This made him slam on his breaks, and he waited for the other person to go through the intersection. This behavior set off his anger, and he became irate and started yelling at the other driver. This was an automatic reaction on his part. The cognitive restructuring theory could teach him how to handle his excessive anger.

Watson Water Heaters (WWH) opened for business 30 years ago with fewer than 10 employees and sales in the first year of business of just $500,000. Today, the company has more than 1,000 employees and annual revenues of $450 million. The company’s growth has caused management to begin considering how best to compensate employees. Historically, WWH has used a strictly cash-based compensation system. The company’s chief executive officer, Will Harrell, and chief financial officer, Claire Greer, now believe that such a system is no longer feasible, primarily because they worry that it does not adequately motivate employees to think of the company’s long-term interests. Will and Claire recently met with a compensation consultant to discuss new ways of compensating employees that may better link compensation and performance.RequiredA. Excluding cash compensation, what are the possible types of compensation that WWH may use?B. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of compensation identified by you in question A?C. Do you have a recommendation as to the types of compensation that would be most appropiate for WWH? What is the basis for your recommendation?

Officer Lightly has a colleague—Officer Brightly—who also has a background and experience with social science research. She joins the effort to develop a plan to involve citizens in protecting their own communities. She believes, however, that beginning the study by focusing on what motivates citizens to participate actively in providing for their own safe community is the wrong place to start. Officer Brightly proposes another direction; she is interested in examining what  or de-motivates people from taking action so clearly in their own best interest. She believes learning about these phenomena will aid the team in overcoming challenges through designing a comprehensive and thoughtful plan. Officer Brightly has a few guesses about the “why” here, but wants to examine the reality—systematically, thoroughly, and accurately.
