THE TWO TEXTBOOK CONCEPTS CAN BE SKIPPED. ( the part where it says 2 organizational behavior concepts) Just provide as close to the assignment as possible without the textbook and I will go back and add the book in. Thank you (:
Final Project Below is a work scenario to which you will apply what you have learned in the course. The “work issues” listed below have only basic information, so you will need to make a few assumptions to address the issues. Identify your assumptions clearly within your paper so that your instructor knows why you are making the decisions you are making and drawing the conclusions that you are drawing. Use the outline below to address the staff issues. The answer for each staff issue scenario should be at least 300 words in length, a minimum of 100 words per organiaionalhavior concept. Case Study Congratulations on your promotion as the Inventory Department Manager for XYZ Company. The former manager was well liked by the nine employees in the department, but the executive management was frustrated with the former manager’s continued poor performance, so she was terminated. You used to work in the finance department and were selected for this promotion due to your educational background in organizational behavior and prior experience in inventory control. You heard rumors that this department has not been performing, which creates repercussions for other departments as they are not able to complete their work. On the second day of your new job, Harry, your supervisor, asks you to visit him in his office. Harry tells you he wants you to be successful in this new position and explains t handle. Harry would like you to provide a written document (essay) that identifies and discusses the organizational behavior concepts you will use to resolve the issues. The company management is counting on your leadership and supervision skills to improve the performance of the inventory department. 1. The goal of this project is to evaluate your ability to apply organizational development concepts to a work environment. A successful final project will demonstrate that you understand and can apply the concepts you learned throughout the course to the work scenarios Remember that this project is worth 150 points. This is a significant percentage of your grade. Review the scoring matrix in the Syllabus to ensure your answers reflect the highest points for each criterion. 2. Use your textbook, Web research, and experiences to discuss the topics below. Provide examples when addressing issues. Remember to cite the sources you reference in APA format and use your own words.
Expert Answer
Handling work issues:
Existing staff issues – No body works there – high degree of poor performance
Assumptions made in order to address the work issues:
Goal:
- Convert Withdrawal behavior into citizenship behavior
- Hold regular meeting, motivate the employees
- Look for the positive qualities in the employees
- Help to take regular but short and sweet breaks
- Every job is important – there is no such thing as high profile job and low profile job – in other words, the job of a data entry operator is as important as the job of the Senior Project Manager
Organization Behavior Concepts:
Productivity, quality, team work, Build cordial relationships for mutual benefit; set realistic, challenging, and accurate goals; Punctuality (benefits for being punctual); diversification of the workforce; Participative leadership style; Performance bonus, incentive, perks, appraisals, praising the out performers in employee meetings;
We will take few concepts and write 100 words per concept:
Concept 1: Build cordial relationships for mutual benefit:
- Humility is better than exercising power and bossing over your subordinates
- Try to build one on one relationship with the employees and me, the manager;
- Listen to their grievances with a 3rd ear;
- Resolve conflicts or at least manage it for a while till resolution happens
- Nurture a healthy work environment and foster the employee welfare – provide club house, sports, swim pool facilities and encourage them to lead a healthy life style – Sound mind in Sound body –
Concept 2: How to set goals and what we get out of it:
- I will not set the goals as vague and easy – nobody will like it
- Rather, I will go through the Vision and mission of the company, involve my employees, my department and team members, conduct a brain storming session, and arrive at a list of goals and objectives
- The purpose of goals and objectives will be to meet out the mission and vision of the organization
- I will make sure that the goals are challenging, quantifiable (measurable), and very precisely stated with at most accuracy
- only such goals will be liked by the employees
- In this way, I can push my employees to a better production, they know some target to aim at
- Measurement, monitoring, appraisal:
- I will watch over their shoulders, and make sure they are on the right track
- I will provide constructive feedback to make sure that they are achieving the goals.
Concept 3: Style of management:
- I will try to follow participative leadership style in this situation – I will ask them one by one, face to face, in a private meeting “what is it that is causing them to be slack at work?”
- what do they need in order to get motivated and stay so.
- What it takes for them to spring off their bed every day morning and think of pulling up their socks to gear up to work
- in short, I will do whatever is needed to convert withdrawal behavior into citizenship behavior
- E.g. I will announce incentives, performance bonuses, perks, reward for awards, employee of the month award
- When nothing works, the age old formula of “carrot and stick” becomes inevitable – in spite of so much carrots like perks, bonuses, incentives, if they still do not perform, I will be forced to use the stick of terminating them and recruiting fresh new better workforce.
Why these decisions are made by me:
Because it helps to boost the employee morale
Why I drew these conclusions:
Because these decisions help to boost productivity
Repercussions means (consequence, problems)
