- John and Mary are full professors in the same medical school department of a large private university. As a private institution, neither the school nor the university makes the salaries and benefits of its faculty a matter of public record. Mary has pursued a long-term (fourteen years) career in the medical school, rising through the academic ranks while married to a successful businessman with whom she has raised three children. Her research and teaching contributions have been broad ranging and award winning. John joined the medical school within the last three years and was recruited for his leading-edge contribution to a novel line of research on a new procedure. Mary thought he was probably attracted with a comprehensive compensation package, yet she had no details until an administrative assistant gave her some information about salary and benefits a month ago. Mary learned that John's base contract salary is 16 percent higher than hers ($250,000 versus $215,000), that he was awarded an incentive pay component for the commercialization of his new procedure, and that he was given an annual discretionary travel budget of $35,000 and a membership in an exclusive private club. Mary is in a quandary about what to do. Given pressures from the board of trustees to hold down costs associated with public and private pressure to keep tuition increases low, Mary wonders how to begin to close this $70,000 inequity gap. Propose three specific strategies that would enable Mary to resolve the inequity.
- Based on your understanding of the job characteristics model, propose three changes you would make to your current (or past) job that would result in greater job enrichment.

It has been designed to provide you with the opportunity to develop skills, synthesize knowledge, and integrate learning in a real world setting. This assignment accomplishes that goal by challenging you to:

Purpose: To provide you with an opportunity to experience a group setting and analyze how the presence of others substantially influences the behaviors of its members through social facilitation.
Process: You will participate as a guest at an interest group meeting
in your community to gather data for a qualitative research paper.
Once you have located an interest group, contact stakeholders and
explain the purpose of your inquiry. After you receive permission to
participate, you will schedule a date to attend the meeting; at which
time you will observe the members and document the following for
your analysis:
o Any assignment that has more than 15% of the paper quoted (properly or improperly) will be subject to a point deduction or discipline action in the case of intentional plagiarism. You may run your paper through the UoPX Plagiarism Detector to ensure compliance.

Here is what our professor posted:
•You are not allowed to use websites, encyclopedias, dictionaries or previous textbooks on your papers - only library peer reviewed research.
•Just to be clear from above - any paper that has anything OTHER than our CURRENT textbook and EXCLUSIVE peer reviewed research will not receive a passing grade - no matter how good it is.
•I do not have a required number of citations per paper, however, you should DEFINITELY use the textbook and at LEAST ONE peer reviewed journal article that you get from the library for EACH paper. Like the word count, doing one peer reviewed journal article will help you pass the paper. A papers generally go above and beyond, and include 3 or 4 peer reviewed journal articles and NO websites, dictionaries, old textbooks and encyclopedias.
