You are a first-year supervisor in a manufacturing plant. You supervise a group of employees who play cards during their lunch break for recreation and for a break from their monotonous work. They use matchsticks instead of money as their wager. The word around the plant is that they convert the matchsticks to money after work to divide the winnings, but you have no proof that this is happening. Also, you are aware that staff members in the front office have football pools every week during the fall and declare a winner every Monday morning. They also put their predictions on the Super Bowl and World Series, along with a $5 bill, in a glass bowl. After the results are known, they declare a winner and give all the money to the winner. These employees do not report to you; they work for a different supervisor who is frequently out of the office on business travel. Office staff seldom, if ever, enters the manufacturing plant. Rules against gambling on the job are posted all over the plant. You were informed about the principles of employee discipline during your orientation and supervisory management training program. You learned that the rules must be reasonable and posted and that any disciplinary action must be applied consistently.

QUESTIONS: Do the plant employees operate under the same rules? Should you discipline one or more employees to set an example for violating the no-gaming rule? Do you have proof of a rule violation? Are there other alternatives? What should you do? Why?

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity. why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity
