Question 1

a) How might you use Attribution Theory to understand these behaviours?

You are managing a firm that develops applications for Android and Apple mobile devices. You manage twelve employees. Three of your new hires are about ten years younger than your other staff. They come into work on time most of the time. They seem to be doing their work well-enough, but you notice that as they work away on their computers creating code, they are simultaneously watching and listening to movies and television shows on their mobile phones.

b) Should you attempt to change these behaviours?

• If yes - then how might you do it? Use at least one theory discussed in MGNT201 to explain your approach.
• If no - then why should you leave things as they are? Explain this using what you have learnt in MGNT201 during this session.

State your approach clearly and use theory and relevant examples of how attribution theory works to explain your answer.
