Unit 5 Discussion

Think about the research you read in the textbook about social loafing. Now, imagine that you are a fast food restaurant manager who has just learned about social loafing. As the restaurant manager, you think that you can use this research to better manage your employees.

Include the following in your discussion post:

• Explain how research on social loafing applies to the behaviors of fast food workers.
• Describe strategies that might increase the likelihood of social loafing among the workers.
• Describe strategies that might decrease the likelihood of social loafing among the workers.
• Make an overall recommendation to reduce social loafing at the restaurant based on research from the textbook or another resource.
