Teams
PTCL made a cross functional team to launch Chaarji. The team members are from different
cities and of different departments. There are some issues related to this team, because
members are from different cities and from different departments. There is a lack of trust
between the team members. There did not feel comfortable to share information with each
other.

Team Dysfunctions
Lack of trust
As the team members are from different cities and from different departments there is
a lack of trust between the team members, so they conceals there weaknesses from
each other and as a result of this these weaknesses were not overcomes. Those
members who had some weaknesses feel shy to ask for help from other team
members. On the other hand no one is willing to offer help to other member as they
thought that it might hit their personal interest. In this situation of uncertainty most of
the team members failed to recognize their skills.

Fear of conflict
As trust is lacking between the team members, team members avoid to participate in
the key issues, so these issues remains unsettled. Due to this back channel comments
and inferior discussion between the team members. , this cause great loss to the
organization and team members show artificial harmony.

Inattention to Results
In this team tem members put their individual goals above the collective goal of the
team. The team members are not giving importance to their collective goals due to
this PTCL suffers.

Bad apple effect


teams have diversity so there are few individuals who had negative attitude and
behaviour which would definitely had the adverse effect on the other team members.

Choose your interventions:


Collective interventions
The management is sending the email to every member of the tem. Holding a meeting
with all the team members to resolve the issue.

Implement and monitor:


Assign the responsibility to every individual of the team. The main purpose is to focus
on the future rather than to blame the past. And finally continuously monitor the
changes after implementation of new strategy.

Healthy team
Responsibility is accepted by the members who are responsible apologies happen and
mistakes were forgotten in order to achieve the collective goals. Ideas are freely flown
now because there is a trust between the group members. Feedback is now accepted in
a positive sense.

Conflict Management
The ongoing strike of employees of the biggest telecommunication service provider, PTCL,
for the past one month has disturbed on-line banking, internet/DSL facility and business
activities in the country. Besides, the company is suffering revenue loss of Rs 10 million per
day as its 0.245 million telephones remain dead and sales of its products have stopped in the
country, PTCL officials told Business Recorder here on Monday.
The officials, who wished not to be named, said that just in Lahore more than 0.14 million
telephone are out of order and remain unattended by the PTCL linemen and workers. These
dead and unused telephones in Lahore alone are causing a daily revenue loss of Rs.5 to 6
million, they added.

They said due to the prolonged strike and disturbance in on line banking in several branches
of banks on account of 0.245 million dead PTCL telephones, customers specially
businessmen, industrialists and organizations are switching over to other service providers for
carrying on their normal business, trade and commercial activities.

Official sources said that hundreds of thousands of PTCL customers of Central Exchange
Mall Road, Multan Road Exchange, Samanabad Exchange, Garden Town Exchange, Egerton
Road Exchange Misri Shah, Shahdara Exchange , Ferozepur Road Exchange, Cantonment
Exchange, Defence Exchange etc. are suffering anguish as their complaints for repairs of
telephone lines remain unattended since long especially at a time when their kith and kin
living abroad desperately wanted to talk to them on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr.
A whole sale dealer of sugar and other commodities of Akbari Mandi told that his telephone
had been dead for past one week, however, Executive Engineer of his telephone exchange has
expressed his inability to restore dead telephone connection and remove the faults as all
linemen and lower staff were on strike.

It is an irony that the government which gets


substantial revenue as GST on the telephone bills was
not making any effort to resolve the conflict between
the PTCL management and the workers, though
Advisor to the Prime Minister on IT Senator Latif
Khosa was sympathetic to the workers demands,
officials added.
It may be recalled that PTCL employees in grade 1 to 16 had been on strike for past one
month to press for their demand of 50 percent raise in their salaries as given by the
government to its employees. Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL) says that
after privatization PTCL is a privately run organization, which follows private sector
practices for the betterment of its employees.

However, PTCL has offered to raise employees


salaries by 30 percent on their running pay scale
and 20 percent December and June performance

based raise in terms of good conduct, punctuality


and discharge of their normal duties and some
other facilities which had been rejected by the PTCL
workers union.

Representatives of PTCL workers unions said that the police have arrested 200 members of
Workers Alliance under MPO (Maintenance of Public Order) 16 who had participated in the
Dharna at the PTCL headquarters last week. It may be recalled the management control of
government owned Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) was transferred
to Etisalat International Pakistan (EIP), a subsidiary of Emirates Telecommunication
Corporation (Etisalat) of United Arab Emirates in April 2006.
In a written statement PTCL telecom lines staff union, PTCL Muttahida Workers Ittehad,
Employees Union CBA, said here on Monday that they would not call off their strike till
employees salaries were raised by 50 percent, their imprisoned leaders were released
unconditionally and other demands were not met. They said the seven unions, Muttahida
Workers Ittehad, was not a par to the PTCL management announcement on Monday that the
workers had ended their strike.

Update
The PTCL management has served a public notice warning employees to resume
duties by 15th September else they shall be terminated.
