Q-6 a) Almost everyone experiences stress in one form or another. The effects of stressmay include such things as anxiety and high utooo fressure. occasionarrv,"rrb*.".r,people are under so much stress itrat tne/are pusneJ over the edge. They reach a

breaking point and take action that results in destruction and occasionally death.Consider the case of Mohan, a quiet and reserved young man whom no one everexpected to cause trouble.

Throughout his high school years, Mohan was quiet and reserved. He caused noproblems but made few friends. Classmates and neighbors recall him 6 nlirg p"fii"and dependable. They also note that he did not talk riucn and usually kept to himself.Afler graduating in 1980, he enrolled for post-graduation, but could not comptete. Mohansubsequently worked in a variety of jobs until moving to Modern Electroni.r'in 1gg0.

Ih:.company stressed. upon improving the skills of the employee through.externaltraining programmel. The company paid Rs. 50,000 to Mohan io enroll in .;"i;;i;ingcourses in a local institute, like other employees who took advantage of company'itraining incentive. Mohan signed an agreembnt to repay the money"if he leaves the company for any reason within three years of the date oi

"gr"erenf. The agreement

was dated October 15, 1990. By all accounts, Mohan was an average worker-he wasadequate but did not distinguish himself in any way. He occasionall/came to work late,but his overatt performance was satisfactory. Tire onry ma;oi ffi&i"t ihri ffi;;voiced was his objection to the company's policy requiring employees to come and gothrough the backdoor'. He resented t'nis iroliiy Uecause a tew *rnig"r. and secretaries were "exempi" anci were aiiowecj to use the front cioor.

ln-August 1991, he quit his job at Modern Electronics and began to look for other work.After repeated attempts to recover the money the compariy nrO .puni f* M"h;;;;training,.. the company filed a law suit againit nim in Janlary rc'g2. the suit waseventually settled out of court, with Mohan agreeing to repay its.30,000 of the totalamount. The company also provided unsatisfactory references for Mohan ;" h;continued to search-for a new job. over the next six months, tuonan'siauing. dwindledand his prospects.forwork diiappeared, and n" ran ouf ;;;;;;.-ilMrt199t;;bought two guns from a gun dealer. ln July 5, 1gg2, Mohan *eni to a toJt prr['rnjfired several shots into the air. After leaving the park at around io'sg rnt, n" *ifluJdirectly to the office of Modern Electronics ind entered through tne tront j;";.' o;;;in_side, he systematically walked through the facitity, shootini

"nJ r.i[ing-f*; .;;;;officers including President of the company. He afpeared to"'be ;";ki;; out specific

targets.

As he approached each one, Mohan first abused them and shot them. Along the way,he spared sgme othel employees of the company. Mohan then walked out throuqh thebackdoor of the building and into a small shed. Once inside, he killed nir."ff-iuitn',single shot to the head.

a) Describe how stress may have played a role in this tragedy.

b) What individual and organizational sources of stress can be identified in this case?

c) can you suggest some stress relief techniques based on this case.

OR

Q-7 a) There are very few companies that exist and grow in the retail business with theprimary goal of funding environmental pro.grams. Paiagonia is one of those exceptions.Its culture, including everything from daily business iecisions to

"mprov*; #i;g, i,based upon Patagonia's commitment io its environmental, moral, 'ethical, andphilosophical causes.,_Thus, many workers with similar work and p"r.on"i lifr;lr;, Jr;;the company in and effort to further these socially responsible efforts.

This strong inspiration is evident through the cornpany at all levels and began early on, As the company evolved, its owners asked employees to help draft a statement of purpose and core values. The."Statement of Purpose" reads: "Patagonia exists to use business to inspire and implement,solution to the environmental' crisis. Employees on product line teams have business-environmental goals, for example, to reduce the environmental impact of their products. As you can imagine, the organizations walks a precarious line between social responsibility and profits.

The company's twofold focus on quality and envirorlm€Dtal issues has propelled Patagonia toward innovation. The revolutionary products developed and offered in outdoor gear have earned Patagonia a lo;ral customer base. ln acidition, building clothes that last longer and work better has supported its environmental efforts.

So how does the company ensure that employees adopt and maintain the same attitude and passion for its environmental prograrns? Maybe it is because Patagonia devotes one full morning of its three-day new-hire orientation to a voluntary surfing lesson or there is the conference that teaches organizational and marketing skills to gt?ss:t'oots environme.ntal activists, which sorne Patagonia ernployees attend. ln addition, a civil disobedience training ccurse is available to anyone interested; and the company even posts bail for workers who utilize that training in actions conslstent with Patagonia's eore vaiuesi Empioyees may also apply to take up to two months' sabbatical to work as full-time volunteers for nonprofit environmental groups; or receive a $ 2000 reimbursement from the company for purchasing a hybrid electric vehicle.

Many empioyees join Patagonia and bring their own enthusiasm However, to quote the company website: "Our product-tester spends days in the back and front country of Colorado beating up new gear. One of our retail stores is managed by a world-class suffers...an employee in Reno lobbies state and federal officials on behalf of the environment ... ..The fellow who answers the phone is an 1 1 time world champion frisbee player". Most of Patagonials employees come to the company with their own extracurricular hobbies and interests; and combining those lifestyles and values enhances the company's culture

After being named one of America's top companies to work for by Fortune for many years, Patagonia's reputation is such that it has to spend very little on recruiting. Between its formal environrnental program and the steady labor pool of like-minded workers, employee motivation is all but inevitable.
