Interview with Organization, Perle de Lune

For the purpose of our research, we decided to interview a small business with three to five employees. We chose this type of organization because the information we collected through our interviews would give us an accurate view of how the organization works. Also, we would be able to identify the problems within the organization efficiently and effectively while providing solutions which would better enhance the work being done, as well as the organization, as a whole. The organization we interviewed was Perle De Lune because it fit the criteria that we were researching. Several organizational behavioural theories were incorporated within our research to help us better understand how things work and how to approach certain issues observed.

The questions we asked the three employees and employer are available in the appendix, with the answers. Along with our own questionnaires we decided to give them the Work Design Questionnaire that we had seen in Chapter 6: Compensation and Job Design. This will be beneficial when we analyze the potential issues that exist within the company. In this paper, we will refer to the boss by her first name, Sandrine, while the employees will be referred to by numbers.

To conclude, Perle de Lune has a very relaxed and friendly working environment.

Sandrine has been able to provide a lot freedom for all of her employees, which always allows the tasks she assigns to be completed on time and in the appropriate manner. Although employees have always completed their assigned tasks on time, some employees seem to lack motivation within the organization. With all the freedom and lack of feedback given by Sandrine, employees that cannot make big company decisions without consultation, may find their tasks routine and boring. Fortunately enough, Sandrine will now be able to fix these issues by implementing the several different solutions that we have provided within our report.
