All organizations aim at the pleasure of achieving or creating something. This line of thought can be strictly infused into the awareness of employees during meetings or seminars. The goals of the theory may also be infused into new employees as part of their orientation. Existing employees may be promoted on the basis of their best contribution to organizational goals and the welfare of fellow employees. These are measurable criteria and a source of motivation to other employees.
The utilitarian theory necessarily states that it is an employee's duty to perform and behave in the best possible way to benefit the business, fellow employees, society and himself or herself. Consequently, he or she has the right to expect the same benefits from the organization, fellow employees, and society or community.
The utilitarian theory focuses on the greatest amount of happiness employees contribute to the ends of the enterprise and the welfare of other employees. By its nature, it treats persons as means to an end, which is pleasure. Distributive theory, on the other hand, focuses on the intrinsic worth or value of each employee, independently of what he or she contributes to the business or fellow employees.

Roosevelt to avert a march on Washington, DC in 1941 by 100,000 African-Americans who were protesting discriminatory hiring practices in the defense industry (Anderson 22).
