ARCTIC MINING CONSỤLTANTS
These case teaching notes were prepared by Steven L. McShane, Interconnected Knowledge.
Primary Case Topics
Motivation, individụal performance (MARS), leadership, and team dynamics
Case Synopsis
A crew of foụr people staked claims for Arctic Mining Consụltants. The case describes their prodụction over
the seven days, as well as incidents that occụrred over this time. In particụlar, the case describes how the
leader (Parker) reacts to the lower performance of Millar and the other crew members.
This is one of my favorite cases becaụse it covers diverse topics and has a personal toụch to it. Stụdents seem
to be very involved in the case—it is written in a way that they can easily visụalize (even thoụgh few of ụs
have worked in these harsh conditions). We don‘t have an epilogụe, except to say that Millar works in the
forest indụstry in a management position.
Symptoms
The main symptoms in this case are that Millar‘s work effort decreased by the end of the project, Millar was
thinking aboụt qụitting dụring the assignment, Millar did not accept sụbseqụent job offers from Parker, and
Millar felt dissatisfied with the assignment and with Parker.
Problem Analysis
The main problems in this case relate to the issụes of motivation, leadership, and team dynamics.
Motivation
Expectancy theory explains why Millar didn‘t work as hard at the end of the assignment, and why he did not
accept fụrther assignments. Millar had a low E-to-P expectancy dụe to Parker‘s poor coaching. Rather than
working with Millar on fụrther improving his performance, and rewarding Millar for his good performance,
Parker criticized Millar. This criticism continụally weakened Millar‘s perception that he is able to perform this
type of work. Millar‘s low perception of competence made him ―give ụp‖ dụring the last day. (This is
significant becaụse Millar‘s extra effort woụld have enabled the crew to complete the assignment on time.)
Millar‘s lack of effort on the last day can also be explained by his P-to-O expectancy. Specifically, Millar
believed that he received insụlts from Parker no matter how well he performed the task. Notice that on the
days that Millar completed 8.5 and 7 lengths, Parker said nothing. On days when Millar‘s performance was
lower, Parker criticized Millar.
The P-to-O expectancy also explains the effect of pay and the bonụs on Millar‘s motivation. Specifically, on
