Reward folly is a concept that refers to how organisations expect or hope for a certain kind of behaviour while reward for a different type of behavior. An example from my organization to better understand this would be- Our company divided us into groups and then formed teams by assigning different projects to different teams. The company expected us to work as a team and help each other by sharing ideas and collaborating witj each other. But at the end of the project term, the company management decided to pick the best team members in order to reward them for their exceptional contributions. This right here is an example of reward folly because on one hand our company expected us to move forwards as a team and on the other hand the company itself was creating a division between us by choosing the best performers rather than rewarding the whole team for the effort. Final answer Final answer - Reward folly is a very common concept that has been practiced by organisations for a very long time. Though organisations find it okay, it often leads to dissatisfaction and confusion among employees. Questions B. use the OB determinants and other motivation course concepts of your choice to describe the impact this folly had/is having on them and how they'd improve with your solution C. propose a detailed solution to the folly (root problem)
