Living Social Escapes (Ch. 13)

Question 1: The needs of hierarchy at Social Living Escapes is that they want to have a job that they can be happy in, and also successful. The CEO of the company never really liked who she got to work with in her past job experiences and crating her own business allowed her to do just that. People are motivated by doing something that really interests them, so when employees would come up with new ideas, they had to run it by the head people to make sure it was profitable for the business. They quickly learned that it was a good idea to have the employees try new things and eventually let them try it own their own and if it didn’t work it was used as a learning step.
Question 2: According to the Equity theory, if employee guides feel underpaid/unappreciated, they are more likely to not perform to the best of their ability. People work better when they know they are used for a purpose and are understood.
Question 3: A high outcome for working for Social Living Managers is that they get to work with who they want and who are also highly qualified. Working with people you know makes a job a little easier because you are able to easily converse with others. They pay not be great, but they get to do what they love while also having a good time at work.
