How can an artificial manager motivate employees? Part 3

Today is the third part of the description of my mobile application, which I designed together with Dr. Adrian Pyszka, and was programmed by engineer Rafal Ujma. Let me remind you that the application is about the managerial activity of motivating employees. We designed the application based on the system of organizational terms, so that it could record people’s activities and so that they could be automated later. We tested the application among students and employees of the University of

How can an artificial manager motivate employees? Part 2

Today I’m continuing the topic I started the day before yesterday – I’m introducing you to an application for motivating employees, built on the basis of the system of organizational terms. The application is an example of how a robot could easily perform two managerial activities – to study employee motivation and then plan motivational activities. And again survey motivation and plan motivational activities, and so on. In a previous post, I showed the sequence of two managerial actions that

How can an artificial manager motivate employees? Part 1

In 2020, Dr. Adrian Pyszka and I received funding to develop our first phone app to act as a powerful online managerial tool, a well-known research platform called TransistorsHead.com. We thought for a long time about what organizational size to choose in order to design a mechanism used by the manager on this basis, but easy to automate and replace the human manager with a robot. The choice fell on the managerial activity that every team manager undertakes, even if

Can we find out what a manager does so that we can replace him later with a robot? Research results, part 2

Today’s post is a continuation of a previous post on the results of a study of managerial behavior that I conducted even before the Covid pandemic and published as part of the 2020 IEDRC KUALA LUMPUR CONFERENCE. Earlier, I wrote about why there have been no advances in management science for more than a century – everything is still going on as it was in Frederick Taylor’s time, although he is trying to introduce new management methods that are a

Can we find out what a manager is doing so that he can then be replaced by a robot? Research results, part 1

Recently I showed how to describe a manager’s work using organizational quantities, that is, to know what he does, how many times, for how long, etc. Of course, we need to know the same about his colleagues, for example, members of his team. Otherwise, we won’t replace him with an artificial manager, because he won’t be able to influence the behavior of others and won’t be able to predict – like a human – what each of his subordinates might
