Working on LINK650 was a
real shock, though most of us
FACTORS
1. Treatment of managers
2. Counterproductive
had some experience working
behaviors
in oil fields.
3. Company setbacks
MOTIVATION (mechanical problems)
Everyone hired on LINK650 was

enthusiastic and proud. We were one
of the chosen few and were really
pumped up about working on a new
rig that had received so much
attention
Recommendation
NACAR, 2017
PROBLEM: Employees had insufficient orientation about
their role perceptions in the workplace.
SOLUTION: Conduct orientations about information and

agreements, especially the rules of the company which
will lead to better job performances of the employees, and
to the promotion of the special bond between supervisors
and those who are under them.
Recommendation
NGO, 2017
PROBLEM: Managers disregard the risks of their day to
day operations and the well-being or safety of the workers.
SOLUTION: They should file a report about how their

supervisors ignore the safety precautions and
maintenance of the equipments used.
Recommendation
ORIGENES, 2017
PROBLEM: The managements desperate efforts of
dismantling the union.
SOLUTION: To improve communication between the

employees and the management up to such point where
a union would no longer be necessary.
Recommendation
PALAGANAS, 2017
PROBLEM: Several employees found themselves
unmotivated to work because of the unhealthy treatment
of their supervisors.
SOLUTION: Supervisors should act as professional as

possible and employees are responsible to communicate
with their co-workers and supervisors about their
difficulties at work.
Recommendation
PARAGAS, 2017
PROBLEM: There is an inadequate degree of congruence
between the workers and their job.
SOLUTION: Enhance the recruitment process by

formulating a better "person job making" technique that
carefully deliberates the applicant's strengths and
weaknesses. This in turn will result to lower job turnovers
and increased person-job fit.
