  • week 3 discussion 4560

    People are motivated to behave in a particular way because they receive some extrinsic and intrinsic rewards. Extrinsic rewards are received from the environment, while intrinsic rewards are derived from a sense of accomplishment, competence, and autonomy over one’s work. Related to motivation and performance is the stress that the job creates. Stressors can be positive motivating factors, such as the ability to accomplish a challenging task in order to be rewarded (either intrinsically or extrinsically), and negative motivating factors, such as the inability to meet job task requirements.

    Explain how being paid may or may not have a negative effect on performance based on intrinsic motivation. On the basis of your experience, give examples from school or work that worked as intrinsic motivators for you. Describe the factors that contribute to job satisfaction for most workers and explain if these factors are entirely under the control of the organization.

    Work overload, deadlines, and difficult bosses or coworkers are just some work-related stressors. Based on your own experiences describe some other type of negative stressors. Explain why organizations should be concerned about employee stress. Along with that explain why it is important for organizations to look at the broad picture of an individuals total stress rather than focusing only on stress derived from work. Finally, explain how organizations can decrease negative stressors.

  • organizational change diagnosis

    Maximum length is 5-7 double-spaced pages and minimum 12-point font size is required using APA format and complete references. The purpose of the paper is to make a case for organization change by analyzing a personal experience with potential organization change through the lens of one of the organizational diagnostic models discussed during the February 4 class session (with the exception of the Burke-Litwin Model, which will be used for the team paper). Emphasis should be placed on how the model provides both a blueprint (the What) and a roadmap (the How) for understanding the potential organization change situation at hand. A discussion of the pros and cons of utilizing the model to diagnose the potential change situation should also be incorporated into the paper.

    Organization Change Diagnosis Paper Grading Guidelines

    1. Clear discussion of the potential organization change situation (5 points)

    2. Analysis of the potential organization change situation through the lens of the diagnostic model (50 points)

    3. Discussion of how the model provides both a blueprint (the What) and a roadmap (the How) for understanding the potential organization change situation (15 points)

    4. Discussion of at least 4 pros and 4 cons of utilizing the model to diagnose the potential organization change situation with specific references to the details of the change situation (30 points)

  • Designing Better Survey Questions & Responsible AI Use

    This assignment consists of improving three poorly designed survey questions. The goal is for you to learn how to identify common mistakes in research questions, such as unclear wording, double-barreled questions, biased language, or unclear response scales, and to practice correcting them step by step.

    The assignment is divided into several parts. First, you must analyze each of the three original questions, identify the main problem in each one, and explain why that problem affects data quality. Then, you create a first revised version of each question, improving the wording and the response options if necessary.

    Next, you must use an artificial intelligence tool, but only to critique your revised questions. You are not allowed to let the AI rewrite them for you. You must copy and paste the entire AI conversation into your document. After that, you write a brief reflection explaining which AI comments were helpful, which were not, and what still needs improvement.

    Later, you complete a final revision of the three questions using your own judgment and the feedback you received. You must explain what changes you made and why. Finally, you answer six reflection questions about what you learned during the process and include a required statement explaining how you used AI.

    Everything must be organized into one Word document in the exact order requested, without deleting any part of the AI chat and without using screenshots. If any section is missing or out of order, you may lose points.

    Requirements: good

  • Discussion –

    Pre-trial publicity is at the heart of the argument- freedom of speech (1st Amendment) versus right to a fair trial and impartial jury (6th Amendment). Pretrial publicity often has one of two effects: (1) Pro-prosecution effect, which is information (or tone) that supports the States case and paints the defendant in a negative light, and (2) Pro-defense effect, which is information (or tone) that supports the defendants case and makes you feel sympathetic towards the defendant. The content of the publicity can be either emotional or factual (or some mix of the two). Emotional pretrial publicity (i.e. makes you feel something) can be sensationalized or lurid details that may or may not be informative for jurors in an evidentiary sense. Factual pretrial publicity is unsensational information that is relevant and often explains the event and facts. For this discussion, you will need to find a headline that embodies pre-trial publicity surrounding a criminal case. Answer the following questions in your original discussion post: What is the article/newspaper headline? Put it in quotations. What is the source of the article? Put the link and list the source (e.g. CNN, the Oregonian, etc.) Is the headline pro-prosecution or pro-defense? Is the headline factual or emotional pre-trial publicity? This article (and headline) must be appropriate for a professional and academic setting. Do not post any
  • I need someone to create and complete a mini case theory psy…

    Attached, youll find the Mini-Presentation of Theory Application Tip Sheet and the Career Theories & Assessments Summary Guide. You dont need to follow the tip sheet exactly; its meant to provide guidance and additional information. Most students create 46 slides that include the following:

    • Background on the person in the case example and any helpful context, including how you applied the theory to the client.
    • The benefits and limitations of using this theory. For the limitation section, consider how you might modify or supplement the theory to make it more inclusive or personally relevant to your clients unique needs and identities.
    • Identify at least one modification or supplementation to the theory to make it more inclusive and/or personally relevant for your client’s unique needs and identities (2 points).
    • 23 discussion questions to engage the class.
