In the contemporary business environment, businesses are learned to satisfy their customers, however, they are also required to satisfy their employees. For instance, the Fedex has discovered that there is a statistical correlation between employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction. A decline in employee satisfaction leads to a decline in customer satisfaction. It has also been discovered across different industries that employee satisfaction assists in increasing customer satisfaction as well as increasing their loyalty towards organizations. Employees who are satisfied with their jobs and working conditions will be loyal to firms, offer high-quality services and productivity. However, the case of LegoAssembly4You reveals that the full-time employee is not satisfied with his present job because he is the one completing most of the work tasks and earns the same remuneration with the part time worker. Despite being a full-time worker, he is being offered the same pay per hour with the part time employee making him contemplating of quitting the company. Moreover, his motivation to complete the work is diminishing because he feels that he is the one performing most of the tasks. The LegoAssembly4You needs implement motivation model very fast to prevent their experienced employee quitting the company.The objective of this project is to apply a motivation model to retain the company employee and assisting in enhancing employees' job satisfactions.
1.Application Motivation Model to the Case
This study applies the motivation model to boost the morale of workers and reduce the workers' turnover rate. Zhang, Fan, & Zhang, (2015) believe that an application of motivation model is an effective tool to enhance creative performances. The authors argue that power motivation enhances individual creativity as well as "improving the quality of leader-member exchange." (Zhang, Fan, & Zhang, 2015 p 613). The power motivation is the ability of an individual to acquire recognition, influence others, and gain social status.
On the other hand, Fernandez, & Moldogaziev, (2015) argue that employee empowerment is an effective strategy to improve employees' motivation, which assists in improving service quality, increase customer satisfaction and promote innovation. The authors further point out that empowerment practice promotes self-determination, and enhancing positive job satisfaction. In a business environment, empowerment is a business practice that involves granting a person power or granting authority to an individual to do what is necessary. Empowerment is also to entrust an employee the power to make a right choice without waiting for management approval. (Evans, 2016). The goal of empowerment is to tap the intellectual and creative energy and allow an employee to display a real leadership within their competency domain. Thus, LegoAssembly4You Company should apply the model of empowerment to motivate the full-time employee to reduce the turnover rate. The company should bring decision-making to the lower employee to improve their motivation level and morale of full-time employee, which will assist in enhancing productivity and quality service. Essentially, empowerment practice is a natural strategy to enhance employee involvements. LegoAssembly4You should motivate the full-time worker by allowing him to involve in decision-makings. If the full-time worker is allowed to make decision and responsible for the outcomes of the decision, the worker will...
For example, the full-time worker should be elevated to the role of a supervisor rather than serving as a co-worker with the part-time employee. Moreover, the full-time employee should be given the authority to supervise the part-time worker and delegate her roles accordingly. This empowerment strategy will make the full-time to take a leading role in the assembling of the product.
The work environment, for example, could be conducive to this type of stress, as can the relationship with other employees and with supervisors. This type of fatigue is vastly different from the mental or physical fatigue of direct work overburden, and is also more subtle than these types of fatigue. It should therefore be carefully monitored in terms of its nature and how it interacts with other types of fatigue,

Ergonomics or human factors is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of relations among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human comfort and overall system performance. Ergonomists add to the design and assessment of tasks, jobs, products, environments and systems in order to make them attuned with the needs, abilities and limitations

National Institute of Standards and Technology, ineffective fireproofing and a shortage of staircases are highlighted in a preliminary federal safety report into the attacks on the World Trade Center, issued by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, report concludes that a combination of factors caused both buildings to collapse.

The first stage of assessment involves the assessment of the risks through measurement of physical and chemical parameters in the workplace, such as solvents, metals, dust, noise, lighting, heat stress, ergonomic and safety hazards. Once this is completed the following actions can take place: Promoting awareness of risks and following better practices such as substitution of solvents with less dangerous ones, improvement in ergonomic conditions and decreasing noise levels. First, it
The mechanic must have adequate knowledge, training, data for assigned task, tools and equipment, be mentally and physically prepared, take safety precautions, have adequate resources, and have researched FAR, Federal Aviation Regulations, to ensure compliance. The task must be performed with a committed attitude, in accordance with appropriate data and acceptable methods, techniques, and practices that are industry acceptable. The mechanic must perform without pressures, stresses, and distractions, re-inspect
