Motivation, Performance, and Outcomes. [CLOs: 2, 4, 5, 6]. 1st Post Due by Day 3. To be effective, a company must learn to motivate its employees to efficiently and effectively meet the goals of the organization. After reading Chapter 7 in your text, the article “Person-Organization Fit, Family Supportive Organization Perceptions, and Self-Efficacy Affect Work-Life Balance”, and watching the required videos, discuss the following:
· Explain the difference between content theories of motivation and process theories of motivation. Why is it important to understand the differences?
· Propose at least three strategies to motivate others in the workplace. Include theoretical support on why these would be productive options.
· Compare and contrast two motivational theories of your choice (Chapter 7 of your course text). Use the following chart to guide your analysis. Note that extrinsic and intrinsic motivation are types of motivation and should not be presented as theories, but as variables within a theory. To refresh you understanding about how to compare and contrast, click here to view the Comparison/ Contrast Essays video. [Transcript available located under More actions.]
· Lastly, the text suggests that pay is not usually the driving factor in job satisfaction, but can prevent job dissatisfaction. Based on your reading this week, analyze and explain why you think this is and discuss the pros and cons of using financial incentives in the workplace that are discussed in your text?
Your initial post should be between 300 and 400 words.
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Respond substantively to at least two of your peers. Did they choose differing methods for motivating others? Do you think their suggestions are plausible? Why? How about pay and financial incentives? Consider how to increase discourse about this subject with your peers and apply to your replies. Continue to monitor this discussion board through 5 PM (Mountain Time) on Day 7 of the week. Be sure to also respond to your instructor’s comments to you in this forum by Day 7 (when applicable). Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.

Decision-Making. [CLO: 2]. Due by Day 7. Our text suggests that objective reality is often significantly different from perceived reality and is an important variable to consider when making decisions within an organization. In addition, attribution theory describes how people create the explanations for their own and others’ actions, as well as the outcomes of the applied behaviors. Based on these two premises, analyze and discuss the following questions:
· Consider your own experiences with others. Have your actions ever been judged inaccurately by a person such as a boss, a peer, or a family member? Does attribution theory offer us any explanations for what happened in the experience?
· Every day we all make choices and decisions to act on something or behave in a specific way. Consider a time where you behaved in a way that was misinterpreted by someone. Why do you think it was misinterpreted?
· Further analyze your behaviors during the event. How do you believe that your actions were inaccurately interpreted or do you think you may have not fully considered why you made this decision at that time?
· Consider the following as you make your decision:
o Consistency. Do you tend to react/behave this way often?
o Consensus. Would other people act similarly in the same situation?
o Distinctiveness.Doothersituationsandstimulielicitthesamebehavior?
· Could perceptions of the behavior be attributed to a possible fundamental attribution error?
· Could a self-serving bias be affecting your perception of what someone else thought about your behavior?
Your assignment should be a minimum of five to six double-spaced pages, and should adequately discuss all questions posed, demonstrate maturating self-awareness, and include at least one peer-reviewed source, in addition to your text. Use the rubric to check for thoroughness
The paper
Must be five to six double-spaced pages in length, not including the title or references pages, and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Generational Work Expectations. [CLOs: 2, 4, 5]. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Chapter 10, as well as your required resources, address employee attitudes and suggest that an increase in job performance is reliant on job satisfaction. The authors of our text suggest that highly satisfying jobs are more complex, requiring the worker to utilize a variety of skills and to deal with unpredictable situations (i.e. teaching, managing, engineering, etc.), unlike jobs where the work is repetitive and less thought-provoking (general laborers, factory workers, and the like). In addition, the work expectations are suggested to differ based on generations, which may likely also affect job satisfaction.
• Consider the generation you fall into, based on the text: o TheTraditionalists orMatures
o TheBabyBoomers
o Generation X
o Generation Y or the Millennials
o Generation Z
· Consider your own expectations. Do they align with what the content and outside sources suggest about the characteristics of these generational groups?
· Applying this component (work expectations), consider you own goals for going back to school. Do your goals align with these expectations?
· Do you think your educational/career goals align with the suggestions about job satisfaction? Do you desire to obtain a higher-level thinking career? If so, why? If not, why not?
· After analyzing all of the factors, what do you think the implications might be on an organization’s productivity with the evolving employee expectations, need for work-life balance, and job satisfaction? Do you think we will see changes in the future of how organizations achieve these goals? How?
· Consider a goal you might assign to a group at your work, the organization where you volunteer, or other potential organization. (Examples: (a) to decrease the errors in timecard submissions, or (b) to successfully submit a group project to the instructor.) Applying Chapter 9, what potential strategies would be important to consider to assist a diverse multi-generational team in deciding on possible strategies and successfully meeting the goal?

Ethics in Writing: The Woes of Social Media Influences. [CLO: 3]. Due by Day 7. To prepare for this exercise, please read Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (2010) and Mouse Click Plagiarism: The Role of Technology in Plagiarism and the Librarian’s Role in Combating It.
Finding one’s academic voice is an important part of development when dedicating one’s self to earning a degree. However, it is not always easy. Sometimes we lack the confidence (self-efficacy) and think our words are not good enough. Other times, managing our time becomes difficult and taking short cuts seems like our only way out. Once this habit begins, especially if it is not caught, can have devastating results later down the road, but often our emotions allow us to rationalize the practice of taking this easy option.
There are also many temptations with the World Wide Web, including websites touting that you can buy information that cannot be traced. Be cautious. Technological advancement is making this quite the inaccurate marketing tool. In addition, students who do use tools such as Turn It In can be deceived by what they do not know. For example, often, academic institutions have access to outside student work when running these reports.
Students on the other hand do not, and thus, copies of other student papers or even sections or portions may not be identified to the student but will be to the instructor. “Not fair,” one might say. If one is using another’s work, they know it, and thus it can still be deemed unethical, whether they themselves saw it in a plagiarism report or not.
So, what can you do? Take the high road and develop your confidence by developing your academic voice. One of the most important aspects to this is simply giving credit to where the information was learned. Doing this correctly is also important, but giving this credit is a good place to start.
Your assignment this week involves exploring this area of ethics and will include three parts:
· Part One: Discuss why you think plagiarism is so problematic in higher education today. Have you seen examples of it? What do you think you can personally do to help develop your own academic voice? Does it stir up any emotions when you think others are “getting away with it”?
· Part Two: Write a one- to two-paragraph summary about what you have learned this week. Within this writing exercise, demonstrate three levels of preventing plagiarism within your own writing, and highlight each example in a differing colored font as noted below:
o (red font) Paraphrased information using a citation. (Author, Year)
o (green font) One sentence quote from the text that helps support your summary. Be sure to
include the exact page the quote is found in your citations. (Author, Year, p. X)
o (blue font) Free-write. Write something entirely based on what you remember from your reading. o This should still be cited, but is all in your own words. (Author, Year).
o Needassistancewithparaphrasing?Examplesonhowtoparaphrase.
o Notquiteclearwhatyoudohere?Viewthisworkedexampleforassistance.
• Part Three: Reflect on how difficult you think Part Two was. Do you have any bad habits you need to break? How much more difficult would it be to avoid this situation when using websites to assist you in research? What strategies could you use here to help you have more success and prevent accidental mistakes?
This exercise should be a minimum of three to four pages and should adequately discuss all questions posed, demonstrate maturating self-awareness.

PSY 302 Week 5 Journal Life Applications
Life Applications. [CLOs: 2, 4, 5]. Due by Day 7.
Workplace stress can have long-term effects. Our text identifies the following four areas which can increase this type of stress:
· Role conflict: two or more incompatible demands at work or across work and non-work roles
· Role ambiguity: vagueness or unclearness in role responsibilities and functions
· Workload incompatibility: occurs when the amount of work to be accomplished exceeds the employee’s
capabilities
· Job insecurity: the feeling that the security of one’s job is unstable
In addition, happiness and positivity can lead to personal success and further indicates the following ideas to increase one’s happiness:
o Setting challenging and meaningful goals
o Disputing negative thinking and deliberately practicing positive self-talk
o Choosing to forgive others and let go of grudges and hard feelings
o Counting one’s blessings and intentionally expressing gratitude for them
o Visualizing future success
o Practicing healthy habits such as a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and regular exercise
Thus, hypothetically these suggestions and ideas can be applied to each of our lives. Whether you are working and going to school, or just going to school, they are applicable since school, too, is an organization.
After reading and viewing all of the required resources this week, consider all of the factors related to a person’s health and the workplace, how can you apply the concepts to your own life right now?
§ Identify at least three strategies that you can implement today to increase your level of success in the situation you most identify with.
§ Why do you think these strategies can work for you?
§ What strategies could you utilize to increase someone else’s happiness level and assist them in increased
success based on our content?
§ Overall, consider the past five weeks of content. What do you think are two of the most important factors
that will be applicable to you and your current goals? What about to your future goals? Why or How?
Your journal should be a minimum of four to five double-spaced pages, adequately discuss all questions posed, and demonstrate maturating self-awareness.
