4. Explain the various forms of employee behaviour.

How does each one of these forms of behaviour impact the productivity and quality of tree planters?

(Review the relevant material in Chapter 9 before answering this question.) N. Touchwood Lake, Alberta, 36 rookie tree planters

(as well as a group of veteran planters) meet Cal Dyck, who has contracts to plant 7 million white and black spruce seedlings in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The trees won't be ready for harvest for 90 years. The treeplanting Industry was born in the 1970s when the idea of sustainable forestry caught on. Originally, convicts were used, but then the forestry companies found out that hippies were cheaper.

During a two- day orientation session, Cal gives the students a lot of information about tree planting. He knows most of them want to make a lot of money in a short period of time, and he tells them they can do that if they are highly motivated and committed to working hard (planters can bum up to 7000 calories per day).

Students are paid between 1 0 and 25 cents per tree, depending on the terrain. For a $30-per-day charge, Cal will feed the workers and move them around to various planting sites. He also provides hot showers
