Question

With reference to the Morale Productivity Matrix, name the quadrant indicated in the following case:

Firoz, an efficient tailor in a garment factory, normally stitches 40 shirts in a week, which is more than the average of 30 shirts stitched by the other tailors in the factory. However, his sewing machine broke down one day, and he could stitch only 25 shirts that week.

Answer 1

• High Morale, Low Productivity: Firoz
  Firoz is a skilled and efficient tailor who usually produces more shirts than his coworkers, showing that he has high morale. However, a machine breakdown caused a temporary drop in his productivity.
• Quadrant: High Morale, Low Productivity - This situation arises when employees are motivated and satisfied with their work but are affected by external factors, such as equipment failure, which temporarily lowers their productivity.
