Mutual Expectations Model in Business

Words: 554 Pages: 2

Employees should be well aware of their manager’s expectations and management style to understand whether they can perform their job properly. Employers should also know what their workers expect from their position before starting the process of employment. When both a manager and an employee have a clear understanding of what to expect from each other, they will be able to work in accordance with the company’s rules and goals. Moreover, managers will be able to assist their employees in helping them improve their performance.

It is not enough for the manager to provide job descriptions to their potential employees. A good manager will ensure that their workers receive constructive feedback from them and explain how their performance will impact the company’s success. Managers’ expectations for high-quality performance improve employee service, internalizing these expectations into workers’ role identity (Binyamin, 2020). Employees can expect more freedom in the performance of different tasks from a manager who uses a situational leadership style (Drewniak et al., 2020). If employees’ expectations are congruent with their experience, their job satisfaction and performance will be high, and vice versa (Oraman et al., 2011). The mutual expectations model will help both employees and managers attain better results in performance and the company’s success.
