Scenario
You are a senior psychologist working for a consulting company called Global Psyche. The Directors
of GoldMine company approached you because they realised that the company was not doing well in
international trade and needed some form of appraisal system to monitor the work performance of the
employees at entry-level. After some consultations with the Directors of GoldMine company, you
decided that a team of psychologists from Global Psyche should design and implement a three-month
training programme to help employees at entry-level improve their output. The outputs of the
employees would be monitored by means of the Performance Management System (PMS).
However, the implementation of the training programme and the PMS was a challenge. Some
employees had negative feelings about the training program. In addition, the trade union
representatives maintained that the PMS was not fair to some of the employees, due to the nature of
their jobs.
