The document discusses affinity groups, which are groups of people who come together around a common interest, goal, or identity. It notes two main legal issues regarding affinity groups - the National Labor Relations Act prohibits employers from interfering with employee organizations, and Title VII protects classes like race and gender. The document asks readers to discuss scenarios and solutions regarding affinity groups, including appropriate hiring practices, solutions for issues, and improving corporate culture. It provides three references on the topic of affinity groups for diversity in the workplace.

Ob&l midterm ans by franklin
- This paper was just the answers for midterm exam of 2014 IMBA class.
- Depends on the below questions the paper was submitted on 2014 Dec 13, to the Lecturer of the class named "Organizational Behavior and Leadership".
- And I thank to all of the respective persons too.
Four Questions!
(1) Why does a person enter to an organization? What does he/she want from their job?

Questioning Four Types of Power.pdf
I recently had the opportunity to present at the Upswell conference, hosted by Independent Sector and targeted toward philanthropy, nonprofits, and other change makers. My session focused on identifying and managing power in social change work, drawing upon a combination of my research on power dynamics in cross-sector partnerships (I'm currently a Ph.D. candidate at Antioch University) and my experiences as a technical assistance provider and Associate Director at Arabella Advisors.
Power dynamics underlie broader discussions on critical topics like systems change, equity, and justice, but we typically prefer to talk about something other than power. Wajid khan explains It can feel awkward or unpleasant and reveal hard truths that may feel unsurmountable. However, research tells us that just discussing power can help empower us. (1) Whether we talk about it or not, it's there – and increasing our awareness of how it shows up can make us more effective social change makers.
Based on my Upswell presentation, this post identifies four ways power can show up in cross-sector and collaborative work and poses various related questions for consideration. (If you have ideas to contribute or questions, I hope you'll reach out using the link at the bottom of this page).
#1 – The Power in Resources
One of the most obvious ways power shows up is in resources. Of course, when discussing resources in philanthropic and nonprofit circles, the first type that comes to mind is often money and the influence and authority attached to it. However, a famous framework by French and Raven(2) names five power-related resource types.
Each of these can function as currency in social sector settings, and stakeholders should always examine what they have at their disposal. Legitimacy is a unique resource because we often let go without realizing it. Legitimacy is based on recognition. Who should have the right to influence the outcome? In addition to being clear about when and why you give up your legitimacy, you need to ask yourself when you can give up your legitimacy. Wajid khan Mp asks Should we have influence, or should we have the right to influence others? Can you do it?
#2 - Structural Forces
Structural forces manifest themselves in rules and regulations, grant agreements, policies, and the shaping of decision-making processes. Structural details also include broader decision-making structures within society (think government agencies, for example).
One of the most critical ways structural forces work on a small scale is in the meeting agenda-setting process, whether organized or collaborative.
Structural details can be visible (Sam sets the agenda), hidden (Sam sets the agenda but receives input from a select group of people), or invisible. (I assume you need a meeting agenda and only what you wrote down is valid i

Week 2 in Review
An examination of Trilogy provided insight into the complexities of various approaches to recruitment -- and the importance of incorporating recruitment into organizational strategies. From an HR perspective, the strategy involves many intra-related and inter-related aspects, such as job description, job analysis, recruitment methodologies, legal requirements, and a planned and cultivated organizational culture. It is all about Hiring Right! It is all about aligning organizational goals with individual goals to arrive at a place where work effort matches work productivity. Culture is the environment people work in, it’s the element that shapes your enjoyment, work relationship and work process. Culture is made up of values, beliefs, underlying assumptions, attitudes, and behaviors shared by a group of people (Heathfield, 2011). The employees at Trilogy all share similar interests and passions about their job, which means that working as a team would not be problematic. Trilogy has created an organizational culture that represents decision making, daily work practice, stories and legends.

Entrepreneurial Founder Teams
The American culture of individualism, self-reliance, and independence celebrates the legend of the lone entrepreneur. However, for many years, research has shown that team-founded ventures achieve better performance than those founded by individuals. This paper reviews why entrepreneurs form teams, and the process of securing the various types of capital required, to increase the probability of success. A particular focus is placed on social capital and how when complimented with social competence, it can be leveraged to secure financing and build a highly effective, high-performance team.

Published by National FORUM Journals (Founded 1983) by Dr. William Allan Kritsonis, International Website: www.nationalforum.com, NATIONAL FORUM JOURNALS is a group of refereed periodicals. Manuscripts are recommended for national and international publication by members of the Invited National Editorial Review Board and formally approved by the NATIONAL POLICY BOARD representing all NATIONAL FORUM JOURNALS.
Social loafing
This paper examined a psychological concept called social loafing as a great debility in achieving good and effective teamwork. Social loafing describes the tendency of individuals to put forth less effort when they are part of a group. Because all members of the group are pooling their effort to achieve a common goal, each member of the group contributes less than they would if they were individually responsible.
