CASE STUDY:
Mr. X, a new (neophyte) nurse educator who is struggling with his own anxiety about: (1) performing as a faculty and (2) establishing his own professional identity as
a teacher. He opened his class with a short video that ended at a crucial decision point. He invited the class to discuss the best nursing response to the situation
and then to break into small groups and role play various reactions. After the role3-playing situation, he brought the class back together to discuss what worked, what
did not, and why; what concepts they identified; and how they planned to use what they learned in the clinical area?
QUESTION:
What evidence is there that Mr. X managed the class?

MGMT 320 – “MANAGEMENT OF BEHAVIOR AND ORGANIZATIONS”
Case #1: Sexual Harassment
Richard, a recent college graduate, is a newly hired manager in the Production Department of a medium-sized US company. He has been with the organization for three
months. For the first two months, he performed his duties very well, but during the last month, Steve, his boss, has noticed a change in Richard. He seems more tense
and uneasy and is not concentrating on his work as conscientiously as he previously did.

During the last month, Richard has been continually harassed by Paula, a coworker. At first, he tried ignoring her jokes and sexual banter. However, her persistence
has caused Richard to have very uncomfortable feelings while he is at work and at home as well. Richardconsidered the employee’s handbook concerning sexual harassment
policies and found none. He really did not know what to do.

Finally, after noticing his continually declining work, Steve asked him what was bothering him. He told him the problem and showed him information concerning the EEOC
laws dealing with sexual harassment in the workplace he had found in a human resources textbook from college. He also said that he was considering acting against Paula
if her actions continued.

Steve told him he was totally unaware of the problem but agreed something should be done. He asked him to investigate what the organization needed to do to stop this
from occurring now and to anyone else in the future. He also thanked Richard for his patience and honesty and promised him that something would be done.

Using the concepts from Chapter 9, please answer the following questions:
1. What actions should Richard take?
2. Should Steve address this current problem before he asks Richard to draft a harassment policy for the organization?
3. Is Richard the best choice to develop this document?
4. Should Paula be fired? Punished?
5. What are the choices Steve can take, and which would you choose? Why?
6. What ethical theories make the most sense (utilitarian, rights, justice) concerning this case?
7. What actions should Steve take?
Case #2: Innovating Education
Two innovation myths are that innovation occurs in a “eureka” moment and innovation can be systematized. In addition, many instances of innovation instigate
significant changes within an organization. Knowing the above, please apply the concepts from Chapter 10 to the following: How should/does UL Lafayette innovate its
delivery of education in a rapidly changing world/environment?
Case #3: Emotional Intelligence
Please go to https://dc-viawest.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eFJKMIW66Cp0PBj?Brand=ucfcos and take their emotional intelligence test. Please report your final scores.
Using the concepts from Chapter 11, what do the scores tell you about yourself (do not simply cut and paste the website’s analysis)?
Case #4: Motivating Lafayette Parish School System Teachers and Administrators
Recently there has been a rash of retirements within the Lafayette Parish School System. As such, morale is perceived to be at an all-time low. As an LPSS
administrator, what would you do to motivate the LPSS teachers? Now take the opposite side; what would you as a LPSS teacher do to motivate the administration? Please
use the concepts presented in Chapter 12 to formulate your answers.

read story and answer three questions
The $6 Billion Software Bug
In August 2003, the largest power blackout in North American history hit the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. More than 50 million people
lost power, some for up to two days. At least 11 people died as a result of the blackout. Total cost: $6 billion. Investigators concluded that the initial problem
started when a power line in Ohio sagged and hit an overgrown tree. Normally, this is an isolated incident. When such an incident occurs, alarm systems alert power
systems operators of the problem so they can take appropriate steps to make sure that the problem remains isolated. Unfortunately, in this case, a software bug caused
the alarm system to malfunction. This started a cascade of errors that led to more than 50 million people losing electrical power. The lack of power also led to water
supply problems and the shutdown of major transportation systems, including railroads and airlines. Gas stations could not dispense fuel. Cell phone service was
interrupted (although wired phones continued working).
While lack of proper maintenance was the root cause of the blackout, without the software bug, the impact would have been small and limited to relatively few
people. With the software error, tens of millions of people were affected, and there were billions in economic costs.
There are many other examples of the serious consequences of faulty software:
– In 2013, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) went live, and as millions of Americans accessed the newly created exchangewebsites, the
websites crashed and became nonresponsive. As a result, millions of dollars had to be spent to get the websites working properly.
– In 2005, Toyota recalled more than 150,000 Prius hybrids to fix software that caused the gasoline engine to shut down unexpectedly.
– In 2004, a software error disrupted communication at Los Angeles International Airport’s air traffic control system; 800 flights were disrupted. Fortunately,
there were no midair collisions, although there were several near misses.
– From 1985 to 1987, software errors in the Therac-25 radiation therapy device allowed the device to deliver lethal doses of radiation to patients. At least five
patients died.
– In 1990, an error in the control systems of AT&T’s long distance switches left 60,000 people without long-distance service.

Focusing Questions
1. Have you ever experienced software that did not operate correctly? What consequences did you experience?
2. What can be done to limit software errors?
3. Why is it important to catch software errors early in the development process?

During early adulthood, people begin make important life decisions in three areas: career, family, and health. Young adults establish patterns of nutrition and
physical activity that can have either positive or negative effects on their physical development in later stages of adulthood. They also begin to make decisions about
what career path to follow. At some point during early adulthood, individuals also choose either to marry or remain single, and decide whether or not to start a
family. Consider the following example:
Jeff is 23 years old. He recently graduated from college with a business degree and took a managerial position with a midsize company. He likes his coworkers, but
often finds himself bored with his work. Although he was active in college, recently he has gained about 10 pounds due to his sedentary job and lack of time to
exercise. Jeff broke up with his college girlfriend after graduation, and since then he has dated a few different women, but hasn’t had another serious relationship.
Jeff wonders what the remainder of his 20’s and his 30’s will bring.
Based on your reading, prepare a PowerPoint presentation that would help individuals like Jeff set goals related to career, health, and family. The presentations
should discuss the relationship between lifestyle choices and health risks. In addition, it should address how factors like personality and attachment may influence
both career- and family-related goals. Finally, address diversity in the presentation. Explain how your plan could be adapted to fit the needs of different
socioeconomic or ethnic groups.
Your PowerPoint presentation should include an introduction, a conclusion, and detailed speaker’s notes. Include your references on one slide.
Develop a 6–8-slide presentation in PowerPoint format with speaker’s notes. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention:

Do you think it’s possible to change another person’s behavior by using classical conditioning , operant conditioning or learning by observation?

discussion
Do you think it’s possible to change another person’s behavior by using classical conditioning , operant conditioning or learning by observation? If you wanted to
change someone’s behavior or even your own behavior, how would you use Classical, Operant conditioning or even learning by Observation to create this change?

For this essay, describe the three types of learning and how you would use one, both or all three to alter or change someone’s behavior.

Provide an example. At least 3 paragraphs

Discussion—Communicating Negative Information

Discussion—Communicating Negative Information

M3 Assignment 1: Discussion—Communicating Negative Information
Assignment 1: Discussion—Communicating Negative Information
As you learned in the previous module, delivering bad news requires communicating honestly and directly, but also effectively. Communicating negative information or
giving feedback to an employee is especially important for both the employee’s as well as the organization’s morale.
Review the following scenario:
Nancy Douglas is an assistant accountant for the hardware division of Crothwall and Associates—an IT company founded in 1997 and currently worth five billion dollars.
The company conducts performance appraisals twice a year. Nancy has worked for the company for a year and a half and has received a B grade on her performance for both
the appraisal cycles. After her second appraisal, Nancy had made a ten-thousand-dollar accounting mistake. Nancy takes an hour to commute to work and is a single
parent. She has two children, ages three and six, and is on medication for insomnia.

Assume that you are an assistant HR manager at Crothwall and Associates. You need to inform Nancy that she has received a C grade on her performance after the third
appraisal and this is her only opportunity to improve the quality of her work.
Based on your analysis of the scenario, the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, develop a scenario, including dialogue,
for the conversation between you and Nancy in this situation. The scenario should be a properly worded communication and use communication etiquette effectively.
Be sure to give reasons for your assertions and support them with scholarly research.
