Jamal2013!

You must use the ebook provided 

all papers need to be in APA format.  

However, the instructions for this assignment clearly state in bold print to “not” write the paper in a series of “questions & answers” and to write it as a standard scholarly paper.  

This Unit covers Chapters 10, 11, & 15 in the textbook on “Becoming an Effective Leader”, “Motivating Others, and “Enhancing Ethical Behavior”.   Three critically important roles for HR professionals and leaders.  This unit is a logical follow up to unit III that focused on the dynamics of teams and the conflict between generations.  Unit V follows up discussing diversity and that is directly related to teams that will be comprised of a diverse set of members.  This Unit has a “Case Study Paper” and Journal post.   Be sure to follow all the instructions for the paper as explained in the syllabus, as well as the below announcement explaining requirements for the papers and let me know if you have any questions. A common error many students make for this assignment is to approach this paper as an essay and use a series of “Questions & Answers” that are brief by listing the question and then under it the response. Do not write it in a series of Q & A.  The paper needs to be in the standard scholarly paper style and format as noted in the above notes with an introduction, body, and conclusion.  All sources need to be in APA format and the paper put together as explained on pages 13 -15 in the CSU Citation Guide.  The paper also has to follow the standard style of scholarly college writing with an “introduction”, “body” and “conclusion”.   The “introduction” needs to open the paper to briefly introduce the players and background of the case being reviewed.  The “body” goes into detail to address each point and provides an analysis with your thoughts and comments regarding the case.  This is also where the “who, what, where, when, why, & how” questions are addressed.   The “conclusion” summarizes and provides any final comments or thoughts.   Be sure to use full APA formatting for the paper.  The attached “Article Review” tips file also applies to a case study paper.  You want to model your paper as broken down in the file on tips for papers and be thorough in addressing what happened, why, and the consequences of what happened from all perspectives, especially Rajah. Let me know if you have a question.    

Instructions

Locate the following case study in the course textbook: 

Interpersonal Relations Case 15.1 – The One Cent Ethical Dilemma, p. 375. 

Complete the case study by showing your understanding of the content in addressing the questions and directives in two to three pages, including a title page and reference page. The title and reference pages do not count toward the total page requirement. 

Answer the Case Questions at the end of the case on p. 375. In addition, answer the following directives to complete your case study: 

1. What actions do you recommend Rajah take about his concerns with respect to the new one-cent-in-change policy? 
2. Explain whether you think Rajah should blow the whistle on his employer. 
3. What is your opinion of the ethics of the new policy about withholding one-cent-in-change? 
4. Is there a need for ethics training? If so, why?  
5. How often should ethics training take place? Why? 
6. By having ethics training, what can the employer and employees learn? 

Be sure to apply the proper APA format for the content and reference provided.

Reflect on the importance of using articles from peer-reviewed journals compared to information from the Internet. Ask yourself who evaluates the accuracy of information that you might obtain websites like Wikipedia and what form of accountability there is to ensuring that information is up-to-date, reliable, and valid.

Review the Final Assignment: Article Review and Critique in Week 10 for this class. Note that you will have to locate an empirical research article from a peer-reviewed journal. Begin to search for an article. Practice navigating the databases in the library by searching topics of interest. (Note: At this point, you do not need to identify the actual empirical research article. The goal of this assignment is to begin getting comfortable navigating the databases in the library).

For this Assignment, complete the following:

• Identify a list of 10 peer reviewed social work journals from the library that you might find helpful relative to your social work practice interests.
• In a 100-150 word paragraph, discuss why using research studies from peer reviewed journals is important to the development of knowledge in social work. For example, discuss the advantages of having articles reviewed by other scholars and researchers. Then using a case illustration, describe how articles from peer-reviewed journals can help to inform your social work practice decisions with clients, communities, agencies, and/or social work policies.

This is a tough question to answer. I think it’s first most important to understand without each of these topics playing a role in our agency we would fail to be successful. So each of these areas has extreme value in today’s HRM functions. With that being said I believe Sanction to encompass all of these areas to establish the employee-employer relationship (Llorens, 2018). It is key to have this contract between the two parties to ensure a fair and balanced workplace for all. Sanction takes into account the rights of employees, counseling, as well as writing them up (LLorens, 2018).

Every workplace has these social norms that govern them whether they are noticed or not. For us to be successful we need an organization that supports positive behaviors. These behaviors must support a positive social environment (Claridge 2020). With all that being said, every role that has been discussed here carries extreme value and weight in our organization. Instead of discussing which of these areas is the most important, I think it is more important to discuss how each of these roles plays a part in our organization, how they work together, and how we can promote success in each of these areas.

Personal Theories

Analyze the foundation of two of the counseling and theoretical orientations discussed in this unit based on their view of human behavior and the nature of change. Discuss the theory that is most like how you view human nature. Why are you drawn to this theory?

3. Mr. Jackson owns several manufacturing plants and has just purchased a company that makes tire rims. The company has an OD department with three employees. Mr. Jackson doesn’t know anything about OD and he has asked you to design a study to see if OD really makes any difference. What do you propose?

As a new Human Resources Manager, you’ve been tasked with creating (or redesigning) an incentive plan for a common job in your organization. Based on what you’ve learned in class, consider the following:

• What factors will help you create an effective variable rate (aka incentive) pay plan?
• How will you decide whether to use individual employee, work unit/team, organization-wide incentives, or some combination?
• What key performance indicators will determine employees’ variable pay?
• What type of incentive pay-out structure will be most appropriate for this specific job, and why?  How will it motivate employees while maximize organizational success?

Write an initial post that addresses this in detail, using research content to support your answers.

Role and Functions of HR

Overview

As part of an orientation program for new managers, HR has developed a section of the orientation designed to help new managers learn more about HR’s functions and role in helping them become more effective in handling their HR responsibilities.

Using the course readings and articles, address the role of human resource management. Support your analysis with a minimum of three credible sources of research. (Keep in mind this document is meant for an orientation. The new managers may or may not have a strong understanding of the role of HR in health care.)

3. Justify which HR function you believe is the most important in helping a health care organization achieve its strategy.
