The current problem he was facing dealt with the stock clerks/carryout workers in the stores. Despite paying them the minimum federal hourly wage, he had trouble obtaining enough applicants for the job.

Worse still, many of them seemed to lack motivation once he hired them. The situation created problems of empty shelves and slow service at the checkout counter. In an attempt to solve the problem, Bill met with small groups of the workers to get their ideas. He also consulted with a local expert on compensation issues. Some workers said they wanted a higher wage rate; others said they wanted some incentive to work faster; some had no comment whatsoever. The consultant recommended that Bill consider using some Instrumental and/or Socioemotional rewards.
