Post your response to my questions by Wednesday at noon. Peer posts should be posted by the close of the discussion at $11$:$59$ p$.$m$.$ on Thursday.

The first thing you must do is watch the video found in the Media Gallery entitled "For Module $3$ discussion board: Financial Impact of Employee Attitudes." The information in this video is crucial to do this discussion board.

You are given the following data relative to the $5-$member troubleshooting team of the Behrens Corporation:

Attitude Attitude

Annual Job Tenure Job Satis. Job Satis.

Employee Salary $($$$)$ Grade $($years$)$ Weight Score

Hobbs $34,000321081\mathrm{.}15$

Smith $18,00024651\mathrm{.}04$

Studley $30,0003714101\mathrm{.}28$

Woo $28,000301071\mathrm{.}20$

Finkel $21,50023540\mathrm{.}78$

I want to see all your work. In other words, show me what numbers you are plugging into the equations to come up with your answers.

Use a human asset valuation approach to dollarize these attitudes $($job satisfaction$),($calculate numbers to $2$ decimal places; this means right from the start, not just the final answer$),$

to compute the overall gain $($or loss$),$ and

to compute the gain $($or loss$)$ per person.

$2.$ As a special project, top management wants to use behavior$-$costing methodology as one input to its HR planning model. Over a $3-$month period, you have found the correlation between intrinsic motivation and absenteeism to be $-0\mathrm{.}34$ for a sample of clerical employees. Chronic absenteeism is a serious problem in this firm, and clerical employees average $2\mathrm{.}2$ days per month absent from work $($SD $=1\mathrm{.}43).$ Each such incident costs $$106\mathrm{.}22.$

I want to see all your work. In other words, show me what numbers you are plugging into the equations to come up with your answers.

If management were to institute a job enrichment program that would improve job satisfaction attitudes among the clerical employees by $0\mathrm{.}45$ SD$,$ what might be the potential savings per employee per month? Calculate numbers to $2$ decimal places $($this means right from the start, not just the final answer$).$

Should the job enrichment program be instituted? Why or why not?
