Furthermore, managers want employees to help customers, therefore, they have linked their motivation directly with the incentives and commissions, which directly falls under the classical management theory, which says that employees have certain economic and physical needs which they have to meet and fulfill. Moreover, classical management theory also helps us in the areas of leadership, specialization of labor, profits, and decision making. Here managers want to streamline their operations as well, which is also another feature of management theory.
