Taylor, being a college student appears to be facing job dissatisfaction.
The
prominent reasons could include Taylor being overwhelmed by the work
environment such as: work hours, leadership styles and nature of the job.
Taylor is a fresh graduate which means he is used to a college environment
which played a significant role in modelling his behavior, it is likely that
Taylor might be used to a more collaborative environment(which is generally
the case in colleges) that emphasized his learning over accomplishment of
an “assigned objective” this is why he may struggle to work in an
environment that requires him to follow a more authoritative leader who
commands him about how a task should be performed and doesn’t value
Taylor’s contributions. The best bet Taylor can make in this scenario is to
Focus on Job Satisfaction factors
Taylor feels like a misfit in the organization, it is therefore important for him
to focus upon multitudes of factors like the job itself which will allow him to
deter whether work piques his interest, similarly, he needs to focus upon
improving his relationship with his coworkers which will allow him to get used
to the work environment. Taylor can also focus on the extrinsic motivators
like the pay and possibility for a career growth to keep his interest
However, if Taylor is unable to be motivated by the tactics mentioned above
then he can take the following courses of action based upon his
dissatisfaction level over a period:
Constructive: Taylor can look to voice his concerns with the senior
management regarding the dissatisfactory working conditions as well
as the leadership styles he is being subjected to
Destructive: The final course of action would be for Taylor in case his
demands aren’t paid much attention to is to look for better working
opportunities.
