Abstract:
A boss who frequently checks in on his or her employees represents one of the heights of irritation in today’s workplace. In the same vein, an organization that retains standard operating procedures that require frequent signature approvals for too many actions discourages staff and kills creativity and innovation. On the flip side, employees who frequently ask for guidance and direction from a supervisor even when given autonomy suffer from what many researchers call low selfesteem. So workers crave autonomy and managers desire autonomous workers. The above observations come off as plainly obvious to every professional Kenyan. Of course people surely desire autonomy. Unfortunately, most workplaces fail to give the autonomy besought by so many. Starting off, executives must understand that low autonomy causes low felt trust by employees. When employees feel not trusted by their employers, then they perform worse on tasks and accomplish fewer goals.
