    Facts: NWA started international flights and created a new cabin-attendant position of “purser” and adopted a policy of only hiring men for the purser position. The only female purser was Mary P. Laffey, who bid for a purser vacancy after nine years of being a stewardess. NWA delayed acting on her application and began to administer new tests to purser applicants. NWA hired two male pursers without benefit of any tests. Laffey final became a purser, but was placed on the bottom rung of the purser-salary schedule and was paid less than male pursers with equivalent seniority and cabin attendant service. NWA also paid female stewardesses lower salaries and pensions than male pursers, provided female cabin attendants with less expensive and less desirable layover accommodations than male cabin attendants, and a uniform cleaning allowance was not granted to female attendants. Laffey filed a class action lawsuit against NWA, claiming the refusal to hire female as pursers violated Title VII and that the differential pay scale and allowances for male pursers and female attendants violated Title VII and the Equal Pay Act.…

    Teamwork is very important at Southwest and employees are cross-trained. Employees are encouraged to be responsive to fellow employee needs first and then to customer needs. Flight attendants prepare cabins for passengers, and ramp agents help by cleaning toilets, unloading baggage, and stocking planes (Czaplewski, Ferguson, Milliman, 2001). Pilots, managers, and the CEO are expected to help other employees when needed. All of these practices help employees support each other while providing high quality…

    Motivation at Ryanair

    Ricardo Lopes UC - MBA 2010-2013 Organisational Behaviour Introduction Nowadays flying for a few pounds is a reality in Europe, due to low cost airliners, like Ryanair. Management at Ryanair has only one view, to reduce costs in all ways possible to give their customers the lowest price in the market (Boru, 2006). This was the type of management that changed civil aviation in the last 20 years. For this reason, human resources in Ryanair are considered one more resource in the company that must be reduce like the others (Boru, 2006). In the light of this culture, Ryanair has motivation problems in all areas of the company, such as cabin crew, pilots and ground staff. It might be possible to use: Maslow’s hierarchy of the needs theory; Herzberg’s two-factor theory; Equity theory and Expectancy theory, to solve the Ryanair’s motivation problems, however while all these theories can influence motivation of Ryanair employees, for some of them it would be difficult to analyse the results (e.g. Maslow’s and Herzberg’s theories). Next I will describe the characteristics of Ryanair culture, indicate the importance of motivation from an organisation point of view, and give a brief introduction about each theory, then I will analyse these theories strength and weakness, and finally I will explain how these theories can be used to influence motivation at Ryanair. Characteristics of Ryanair Culture At Ryanair there are several rules in regard to their company culture, such as, cuts of office expenses, and costs like training, uniforms or crew meals that staff has to pay for themselves. Normally, these costs are support by the airliners companies, which does not happens within Ryanair; thus due to the above mentioned rules Ryanair employees have a high turnover of staff. In facto, International Transport Workers’ Federation (IFT) has received hundreds of messages with complaints regarding the poor working conditions that exist at Ryanair workplaces…

    This question led Hochschild to act as an observer while conducting ethnographical research in the lives of those in the service industry: flight attendants and bill collectors. Hochschild observed how flight attendants feelings were stifled, at great cost to the personal self in an effort to use the right emotions needed for their job. Training sessions at Delta hammered in the reminders to smile: “Your smile is your biggest asset…smile. Really smile. Really lay it on. (p 4)” They are paid to smile; that smile is more than just offering a cup of coffee or bag of peanuts to a guest. That smile becomes the representation of the company, in this instance, Delta, and with that…

    This position had to take care of VIP customers from Thai Airways’ business class. VIP customers that she usually took care of were monarchs, politicians, celebrities and permanent secretaries. This made her speak English more formal and also be more deferential person. For the disadvantage of being a lounge attendant, she mentioned that it could be working in shifts. It was because she had a different daily life from other people in term of working and sleeping times. But it would not be a big problem for her, because she knew how to handle…

    The construction and operation of the third runway provide many job opportunities to the society. So (2014) points out that the Hong Kong International Airport has created around 80000 jobs to people with low level of skills and also the high skilled workers. The new runway can lead more jobs to the youth and help them to engage in the aviation industry. For the proposed third runway in Heathrow Airport located in London, the airport operators claimed that 50000 jobs would be provided to the public and unemployment level can hence be cut (Drewett, 2011,para.3, 5). More youth involved in the aviation industry can help to develop the industry and also foster talents for the future development.…
