    Case Study

    Review Chapter 2 and then read the scenario below.

    Scenario

    Suzan has worked for Organization ABC for one year. During her 30-day review, Suzan received amazing scores from her supervisor. During her 60-day review, Suzans performance was deemed as acceptable, but her ability to communicate with her colleagues was lacking. During Suzans 90-day review, Suzans supervisor, at the time, expressed that her performance needed serious improvements. Unfortunately, Suzans supervisor noted the following:

    1. Suzan did not provide her colleagues with messages from customers and vendors.

    2. Suzans phone skills were ineffective, especially when interacting with customers.

    3. Suzans temper was a concern and she often raised her voice when she became frustrated.

    You have been hired to replace Suzans previous supervisor. Between Suzans 90-day review and presently (her annual review), you have noticed that Suzans performance still is a problem. Before her departure from the organization, Suzans past supervisor stated, Suzan is nice; however, she is a horrible communicator. I cannot work with her, as she is such a challenge to deal with Good luck, as Suzan is one of the worst employees of Organization ABC.

    During your first week in your new role as supervisor, you met with Suzan to understand more about her performance. She stated, I am a hard worker; however, I only was told what I was doing wrong. I am willing to learn. Can you help me become the best employee for Organization ABC? I want to succeed in this role.

    As a supervisor, you know that you have various responsibilities. One of your responsibilities is to address performance deficiencies. Although Suzan was provided with a job description, which included detailed information about the critical nature of communication in her role, she needs additional support.

    1. Observation and documentation

    2. Updates

    3. Feedback

    4. Resources

    5. Reinforcement

    For example, when thinking about observation and documentation, what might you do to keep track of Suzans performance? Why? When thinking about updates, how will you keep Suzan updated? Explain and justify your rationale for each of the five components and why you made the recommendations that you provided.

    Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

    Be 4-6 pages in length, which does not include the title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.

  • Discussion 5

    you will need to answer 3 questions by other students in class. Choose questions that no one else has already answered and do not answer your own questions. You will need to write at least 250 words EACH QUESTION, and use the textbook and course materials to answer the question!

    Questions:

    1) People are going to make decisions about something once in their life, do you think people make these decisions on instinct, or is there a process that goes through the brain. Why or why not?

    2) While reading about self-justification, Aronson et al. explain that people often justify others, events, or circumstances to reduce cognitive dissonance. Rather than accepting that our original perspective may have been incomplete or incorrect, could this process sometimes reflect denialsettling for something that does not align with what we originally expected? What cues should we look for, or what questions can we ask ourselves, to become more aware and avoid falling into self-justification?

    3) Why do we experience post-decision dissonance, especially when we usually tend to justify decisions to boost our self-esteem?
