Question: Let me pose a question that might seem a little elementary; however, it does relate to the features of an effective job description. Do you think it is beneficial to add time lines or expectations for having certain tasks or duties completed as part of an effective job description? The reason I want to ask is because I have learned from other students as well as past employees of the family company and my former glass company that people will not be as motivated to complete duties and tasks unless they are given a specific time line. Personally, I think that employees should have enough drive to not let duties drag on for long periods; however, many people are not driven by the same things.
Do you have any thoughts on this or have you seen people that fall into this category? Please share.
