Netflix employee motivation and organizational culture

By now you’ve read the one-page summary from the 2023 text (p 169) about how Netflix motivates employees with high expectations and high accountability. You’ve also read the article in HRReview and the memo Netflix posted on their own website (link to Netflix job website hereLinks to an external site.). An outsider with little Organizational Behavior knowledge might be horrified by Netflix’ approach to culture. They might imagine employees coming to work everyday with high levels of anxiety and distrust. It all sounds very stressful and undesirable. However, how does one explain their high levels of employee satisfaction and such low employee turnover? Link: Book: 2025 New Release Organizational Behavior by Colquitt Jason chapter 6&7 If it is well-known within the company and even on the outside that Netflix will fire anyone who does not consistently earn “A’s” then why are the employees so happy? How do they not all have ulcers if they seemingly have such tenuous job security? On this discussion board please give your thoughts as to why that might be. Please try to use terminology from chapters 6 & 7 including: Motivation, self-efficacy, expectancy theory, goal setting theory, equity theory, trust, justice, ethics, and any other concepts from those chapters. Your post should be brief and you do not need to use all of the terms, but your answer should be justified by concepts from the chapters. Hearing your personal experience (if you’ve been in this situation) is helpful too!
