The impact of micromanagement on employee performance in foreign-owned companies.
A case study of LG plastics
- Abstract
- Micromanagement is a common problem in many workplaces, where managers tend to exert excessive control over their subordinates, leading to negative consequences on employee performance. Micromanagement is a topic that has been studied extensively within the field of management. In foreign-owned companies, micromanagement can be particularly problematic, as cultural differences and communication barriers can exacerbate the issue. This research topic investigates the impact of micromanagement on employee performance in foreign-owned companies, using LG Plastics, an Indian-owned enterprise, as a case study. The objectives of the study are to determine the key factors that contribute to micromanagement; assessment of the challenges faced by employees due to micromanagement; to assess the relationship between micromanagement and employee performance as well as identifying management practices that help improve employee performance and reduce micromanagement. To achieve the objectives, the study employed a mixed-methods approach, including questionnaires and interviews with employees and managers, to collect data on micromanagement practices and their impact on employee performance. The data collected is analyzed using statistical methods to identify the relationship between micromanagement and employee performance. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on micromanagement and provide insights into how foreign-owned companies can improve employee performance by reducing micromanagement. The results of the study provide empirical evidence of the negative impact of micromanagement on employee performance, leading to decreased job satisfaction, decreased employee autonomy, increased stress, and reduced creativity. The research has significant implications for managers in foreign-owned companies to improve their leadership practices and enhance employee performance. The recommendations of the study suggest that managers should adopt alternative leadership styles that promote employee autonomy and empowerment to enhance employee performance and overall organizational performance. By addressing the issue of micromanagement, foreign-owned companies can create a more positive and productive work environment for their employees, which can ultimately lead to better business outcomes
