Given your expertise in organizational behavior, you have been asked to give a formal presentation about how to be an effective manager to a group of young managers at New York Life.  Most of the managers have backgrounds in marketing or computer information systems, and all have been managing at the department level for less than two years. These managers are responsible for all aspects of running their departments, including hiring, firing, motivating, compensating, and in general, managing productivity. Using expectancy theory and equity theory, what advice would you give these managers in your presentation? Focus on the managerial implications that flow from each theory. Remember, you are teaching them how to manage their subordinates, not how to manage their own motivation.
