CASE STUDY # 10: HE DOES, I DO
The government officials and employees should adhere to the work schedule set
by the Civil Service Commission to ensure that they are able to perform their
duties effectively and efficiently. Being punctual to work is a professional habit
that should be developed and maintained. Consistent tardiness can result in
short-term penalties and long-term consequences. Additionally, policies and
programs that promote work-life balance and high levels of employee satisfaction
and engagement should be implemented to cultivate a positive work environment
and improve overall performance.
Roy, the rank and file employee, may have a different perspective. He may see
Mr. Sanchez's tardiness as a sign of disrespect for the office's rules and
regulations. He may also see it as a lack of dedication and commitment to the
job, and may question Mr. Sanchez's leadership abilities. Additionally, Roy may
feel that Mr. Sanchez's tardiness sets a bad example for the rest of the staff and
can lead to a culture of lax punctuality in the office.
Being a Director is a challenging role that necessitates a wide range of abilities
and skills. The Director is accountable for leading and motivating a team,
negotiating contracts with clients, and overseeing various aspects of customer
service, such as recruitment and training. It's also important to remember that
Roy's responsibilities may be more limited, but he should still be held
accountable for delivering on his deliverables and meeting his job requirements.
The roles and responsibilities of Roy and his Director are different and should
not be compared or held to the same standards.
For me the problem of tardiness is a complicated issue that emerges from both
personal and organizational causes. Both the Director and Roy have their own
reasons for being tardy, but it is ultimately their responsibility to take charge of
their actions and effect the necessary improvements. Communication and
mutual understanding of the detrimental effects of tardiness on both the
individual and the organization are important. In the end, it falls on each of us
to take ownership of our actions and strive to be the best we can be by making
the changes required to enhance our performance.
