- 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?
(2) Analyze Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and its relevance to managing a multicultural environment in organizations. Why should managers need to understand these cultural values for successful performance in the workplace?
(3) Motivate and retrain employees in the organization are essential, choose one motivation theory that you think managers should adopt in the organization for motivation and retaining their employees in the organization?
(4) As discussed in the classroom, losing face is critical for the Thai people, how should manager give negative feedback in the workplace?
While taking a programmatic approach to creating mental health in an organization is imperative, it cannot be done without addressing the root causes. Building trust and creating an environment where employees feel cared about takes time, energy and effort. Too often, leaders want to skim over the relational parts of leadership and fail to develop productive social infrastructure within their workplace. As trust and emotional security form the basis for employee engagement, cooperative behaviour, commitment, and loyalty, it is imperative to understand what employees need to feel psychologically secure and to emerge from their behavior that is driven by fear and anxiety.

Jeffery David Whippo Explains the Mental Health Impact of Societal Discord
1. Jeffery David Whippo Explains the Mental Health
Impact of Societal Discord
Jeffery D Whippo explains the role of public relations in addressing
societal discord. He states that societal discord has become a
significant risk factor for business, posing a threat to corporate
reputation, employee recruitment, and organizational morale. He
further states that public relations practitioners are supporting
organizations in addressing activist concerns and social discord.
Pertaining to the socialist view, individuals do not live or work in
isolation but live in cooperation with one another. Society as a
whole should own or at least control property for the benefit of all
its members.
He further presents an idealistic view of the current levels of public
engagement by organizations around social discord and polarization
in society. This encompasses a broad range of issues including racial
equality, gender equality, and income inequality. Moreover, the
organizational leaders are making challenging daily decisions that
have serious, long-term impact on their companies and their
communities.
Jeffery David Whippo explains the mental health impact of societal
discord. According to him, social isolation and states of fear are
known risk factors for poorer mental health outcomes. All
indications are that the mental health of the nation is an increasingly
concerning public health issue. The community, political, and
healthcare leaders are calling attention to the mental health crisis in
the country. Jeffery shares the good news that on an individual basis,
there can be numerous approaches to minimizing the negative
consequences to mental health.
