1. What appear to be the problems at this Burger Boy?

This is fairly straightforward. Hint: They are not just compensation related!

1. How many of these problems could be explained by compensation issues?

This is also fairly straightforward. Hint: If employees are expected to perform additional duties to the point of psychological stress and emotional outbursts, compensation levels should be considered: Are all of the employees unhappy with workload compared with the pay they receive?

1. How many other problems could be lessened with diligent use of rewards other than pay?

This is a great opportunity to consider what motivates employees. Remember Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory. There are those elements that motivate, and those elements that maintain satisfaction levels, and whose removal, would result in dissatisfaction. (Pay is generally considered an element in the 2^nd category). You can also consider other social motivation theories, think equity…

1. Are hours of work a reward? What might explain why I was happy to be working 20 hours per week, but Chuck was unhappy with 30 hours per week? How might schedules be used as a reward?

There is no right answer here. You will just want to analyze the vignette, and determine if you think schedules are a type of reward.
