personnel management practices. 2. How are these issues addressed and what is the theory
driving this approach?Unit 7 – Paradoxes of Democracy and MotivationINTRODUCTIONIn
this unit, you will delve into what for many human resources managers are some
uncomfortable topics. Among the sex, race, religion, gender, and age topics, gender is a
frequent cause of issues that have paradoxes that are difficult to approach with hard and
fast rules (Hays, Kearney, & Coggburn, 2009). A woman, for example, may sometimes be
forced to choose between her family and work if there is not an appreciation of the needs
she may have to deal with. The balance between freedom of the individual and absenteeism
at work is complex.A special problem in public institutions concerns micromanagement
from public figures. In this unit, you will gain an appreciation of this problem through a case
study of the Columbia disaster. Micromanagement is not a simple problem, and you may
need to review your understanding of dealing with pressures when you look into your
feelings on resisting inappropriate micromanagement that compromises your integrity and
that of your organization.Hays, S. W., Kearney, R. C., & Coggburn, J. D. (2009). Public human
