Question

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

Natasha is working with a company that has laid off many employees in the past few months. The fear of losing her job makes Natasha work beyond fixed hours to achieve all her sales targets.

Answer 1

• Low Morale, High Productivity: Natasha
  Natasha is performing well and meeting her sales targets, but her effort is driven by fear of job loss following recent layoffs. This reflects high productivity despite low morale.
