Employees non-performance - there are reasons

In the book 'Why Don't Employees Do What They're Supposed to Do and What To Do About It', Ferdinand F. Fournies lists out 16 reasons for non-performance of employees in an organization. Interestingly I could relate the 16 reasons with organization currently I am employed with. The 16 reasons are as follows:

  1. They don't know why they should do it
  2. They don't know how to do it
  3. They don't know what they are supposed to do
  4. They think your way will not work
  5. They think their way is better
  6. They think something else is more important
  7. There is no positive consequence to them for doing it
  8. They think they are doing it
  9. They are rewarded for not doing it
  10. They are punished for doing what they are supposed to do
  11. They anticipate a negative consequence for doing it
  12. There is no negative consequences to them for poor performance
  13. They face obstacles beyond their control
  14. Their personal limits prevent them from performing
  15. They have personal problem
  16. No one could do it

Also Ferdinand F. Fournies says what to do about it. Click here to have a glance on 'the 16 reasons and what to do with them' in detail.
