Sociologist: Suggestions for improved efficiency that derive from employers are unlikely to elicit positive responses from employees, who tend to resent suggestions they did not generate  An employer should ttherefore engage the employee in a nonthreatening dialogue that emphasizes the positive contributions of the employee to the development of such ideas
Then the ideas employers want to try will be implemented more quickly and effectively
Employees are more likely to accept suggestions for improved efficiency when these suggestions are not obviously directed at them.
