"Sir for the past few months that I have been working here, I have learned so much.I love this job that is why I have been giving my heart and time for giving the best for the good of our company.
Sir I know that you have been abiding on the rules and policies. You have been just doing your job.I really understand that. I am also very thankful in having you as my boss and my mentor.But sir,as time passes by I've been having thoughts if you would be considerate enough to give me a higher compensation.It would be a very lovely reward. Sir, can you be kind enough to share with me your generosity?"
Whew! I had difficulty composing these "persuasive words"(hope they are convincing enough)! The Social Judgement Theory by Muzafer Sherif tells that a person has three attitude zones:Acceptance, Rejection, Noncommitment. And a person categorizes a statement depending on his anchor point and on how he is involved on a topic or situation.
In this case, I assumed that my boss' anchor point is the office's policy that no increase shall be given to part-time employees. So acknowledging that fact might help me get things on track. Then my next strategy was to say statements that fall under his latitude of acceptance. By saying that I love my job and I have been giving my heart and my best for the good of the company. I think it would be helpful statements in convincing him.Plus, telling him that it would be a lovely reward would convey him the message that I wasn't getting the things that I believe I deserve.
Through the concepts of the theory, I hope my proposal would have a favorable response.
