First, the background events Foxconn precautionJanuary 23, 2010, 19-year-old sawhorse to move in staff training at the southern living quarters Foxconn death in 2010, the evening of March 11, 0930, Fuji Kang Longhua base, surnamed Li, a 20-year-old manful C2 in the living quarters, 5th Floor, fall dead(p) November 5, 2010, a 23-year-old common in Shenzhen Foxconn male workers committed suicide, which occurred since the beginning of the fourteenth consecutive suicides. Second, the Foxconn management event analysis Foxconn management event, the staff of suicide can be divided into two correct aspects of the occurrence and collective place. A separate suicide When a suicide occurs, Foxconn, Foxconn recruitment at the entrance is chill out full of people, when asked whether the candidates know that Foxconn suicide, the answer is known. When asked why to candidates, the answer is to open hither on time wages, never in arrears. Foxconn released from the treatment o f employees to see their one-third meals a day can guarantee accommodation roughw be, transportation, laundry and otherwise basic living conditions can be guaranteed, which is also a issue forth of job essayers in the know Foxconn suicide after the incident dumb choose to work Foxconn reasons.Why these basic conditions be met, the staff, the staff or the accompanying suicides happen? The reasons are manifold. Data show the endless Foxconn suicides work occurred in the younger extension of employees. Therefore, these saucy multiplication of employees to its own characteristics and has a bevy of suicide, such as the current business surround caused by unwarranted draw level on the employees, and these pressure generation, from the perspective ofOrganizational Behavioris the cognitive dissonance caused by the employees.Cognitive dissonance refers to any form of attitudes and behavior are inconsistent will people feel uncomfort commensurate, so the individual will try to reduce this mismatch, uncomfortable, if non improve cognitive dissonance, then the pressure will attach staff, accumulated to a certain extent when the pressure can not resolve, thither may lead to suicide.Cognitive dissonance caused by Foxconn employees is in general due to lowjob satisfactiona keen-sighted time, Foxconn did not lower employeejob satisfactionto improve this riddle and take effective measures, lowjob satisfactionis the work of various factors caused, mainly due to the following four points 1. Interest in workingwith low input pressure is huge. Foxconn, front-line staff here is equivalent to a fully grown machine parts, every day repeating the homogeneous work, and is refined into a product of a step, spend months and years do the accumulated pressure is very great, because such work is not only monotonous, entirely also hard to put into it.Relative to the new generation of employees, their fathers on the job satisfaction canmake silvermainly depends on the simple extra of work brought approximately by the pressure and can deliver the stinting income compared to income is dominant, even if than the current pressures facing the new generation of larger,make notesto chance on this goal will significantly reduce the cognitive dissonance caused by pressure, while the new generation of employees no onger earn money as migrant workers for the sole purpose, more more to lifestyle changes and seek better opportunities, when they face such a person is equivalent to the takings machine as pArtof boring work, it can not equilibrize for low wages brought about by the work of cognitive dissonance. 2. observe for the low cordial groups, lack the necessary conference. Foxconn, work to calculate the precision to use seconds, no time to stopworkingtogether, not to consultation the central between each other. orkingtime, work at Foxconn The staff are aware, no overtime is not making money, so their normalworkingtime is 12 hours to two shi fts, that in addition to work, the remaining time is primitively limited. to work together tired after work activities of employees is opera hat returned to the bedroom to rest, and live in a bedroom with its employees do not work nearly the same time, it will appear in the management of the incident, Foxconn to be able to call all their own bedroom of label of staff reward thing. pace, Foxconn Although a large number of employees, solely essentially no staff their own organization, the villagers will be, students will be able to enhance employee communications and other organizations is essential not. this environment also makes the job satisfaction greatly reduced. think to free download http//eng. hi138. com 3. Difficult to achieve self-worth, aspirations and reality together far.Foxconn, even if it is determined in accordance with the corpse 12 hours of overtime to work two shifts, the hand is 1000 yuan. And these new generation of employeesworkingat Foxconn Although subje cted to a certain degree of education, only if its still somewhat lacking in life skills. and some gauzy and medium enterprises are often overdue wages compared to wages is at work here on time, and the living conditions of the hardware is relatively good, so in Fujihealthwork is an inevitable choice. nowingly choose to make the difficulties is difficult to achieve their ideals, it is difficult to change the status quo. and now a new generation of employees is far less than the income of the purchasing power of their parents, hard work hard to get self- realization, leading to low job satisfaction. 4. The pressure did not retreat. In addition to this little way, and staff ompared to the older generation, a new generation of people growing up is different this generation growing up with their fathers to be superior compared to many, their lives frame of reference is age of the city, their requirements of life is urbanization, the rural peace of mind so that they can go back to far ming is unrealistic, while due to its own conditions, you want to very integrate into urban society, there is a certain distance, But a new generation of employees or to strive with, Foxconn isworkingtowards his dream of an outstanding step forward, but as conditions, skills and other limitations, furtherdevelopmentis difficult, even if left hand Foxconn, a company may be next Another Foxconn, or difficult to achieve genuine integration into the city this goal. Home go back, work hard in the city into which a new generation of employees to enhance dilemma pressure. (Two consecutive suicide 1.

Many studies contract described for television, radio and other media report that a number of detailed suicide, and the community of suicide or assay suicide on the increase in incidents. 2.Suicide after the incident, the measures taken by Foxconn is not effective in the Foxconn suicides occurred during a continuous, its management of the event there is no effective intervention and management of change. Spate of jumping incident, Foxconns management brought in Wutai Mountain is one of the most famous monk, to pray for the dead zone. This will not only ease the suicide is not contagious, but also increased the mysterious suicide of employees psychological spirits cause mischief that is psychological implications, so that employees feel that they commit suicide are from God. This is not fundamentally solve the suicide contagious impact on staff. Third, theenterprise managementmeasures to reduce employee suicide 1 play to the functions of address unions.Foxconn great personal strength in the face of a humbled capital, and only effectively play the role of trade unions, employees and businesses in secern to make equal dialogue becomes possible, in order to be bond on the company, the employees protection of the rights of the work ing pressure to get some relief.

This has resulted in low staff salaries,developmentof small-scale issues. Want to change this a situation, only to high value-added industries, so companies do not rely on cheap labor to profit, so that employees have the opportunity to realize their value to the enterprise, reduce work pressure. focus on enhancing employee job satisfaction and make the appropriate adjustment (1 to improve the work, increase employee interest can learn the advanced management concept, in the same or different production lines adjacent to implement regular exchange of staff for a presbyopic time do not allow the same work, to reduce pressure on staff to reduce long repeated mechanical action of fatigue, increase employee interest (2 to enhance communication between employees can be set up work quad communication among workers, who exchanges the same bedroom ways to improve the communication environment (3 vocational training to increase staff can be set up some useful talentdevelopmenttraining programs, making the lack of study skills and relatively low quality of the staff have the opportunity to learn, have the opportunity to move into management, but also to more good localdevelopmentof the capital. 4 when a crisis occurs, urgent and effective response when an enterprise such thorough issues early, companies should try to coordinate with the media and other relevant departments, to seek the opinion of the continuous occurrence to minimize the impact of suicide.
