Raising the job criteria tremendously and firing anyone who cannot perform at the new level would create a sense of competition and fear among the employees, which would decrease social integration rather than increasing it. The other options, creating clear work routines, stressing common values and goals, and having weekly meetings, would all promote social integration by creating a sense of belonging and shared purpose among the employees.
