HR Performance Issues and MotivationThe relationship between the o.docxhoward4little59962
HR Performance Issues and Motivation
The relationship between the organization and its members can be greatly influenced by what motivates individuals to work. The style of leadership, job design, resources on the job, and environment can all have a significant effect on the satisfaction of employees and their performance. Performance is also influenced by individual motivations (e.g., social, recognition, financial reward, personal growth and development, and/or intrinsic satisfaction) and can equally impact the organization. There are many theories that attempt to explain the nature of motivation. Write a four- to five-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages) evaluating the relationship between motivation, job satisfaction, and work performance. Be sure to address the following:
Describe a performance issue which resulted from a motivational problem (what, why, who).
Use a content theory of motivation (e.g., Maslow, Alderfer, Herzberg, or McClelland) or a process theory (i.e., Adams, Locke, or Heider and Kelley) to explain how the issue creates a performance problem for the organization.
Use the theory of motivation you selected to describe an intervention/action to change the motivation/behavior and correct the performance problem.
Your paper must use a minimum of three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook. Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center..

HR Performance Issues and MotivationThe relationship between the o.docxhoward4little59962
HR Performance Issues and Motivation
The relationship between the organization and its members can be greatly influenced by what motivates individuals to work. The style of leadership, job design, resources on the job, and environment can all have a significant effect on the satisfaction of employees and their performance. Performance is also influenced by individual motivations (e.g., social, recognition, financial reward, personal growth and development, and/or intrinsic satisfaction) and can equally impact the organization. There are many theories that attempt to explain the nature of motivation. Write a four- to five-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages) evaluating the relationship between motivation, job satisfaction, and work performance. Be sure to address the following:
Describe a performance issue which resulted from a motivational problem (what, why, who).
Use a content theory of motivation (e.g., Maslow, Alderfer, Herzberg, or McClelland) or a process theory (i.e., Adams, Locke, or Heider and Kelley) to explain how the issue creates a performance problem for the organization.
Use the theory of motivation you selected to describe an intervention/action to change the motivation/behavior and correct the performance problem.
Your paper must use a minimum of three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook. Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center..

This final project aims to empirically complement concurrent theory that is class focus: socialization, decision making, conflict management and organizational change and leadership, issues of emotion, diversity and technological disruption in organizations.
Linking class theory to real organizational practice, students should choose an
organization
on campus or off campus, public or private, and investigate organizational communication aspects within these organizations. Fraternities, sororities, etc. are not suitable for this study. Beyond that, groups have wide latitude in choosing organizations: they can range from academic departments, religious institutions, food places, corporations, museums, more. Core criteria for choice: it must be an organization (identity, labor force, remuneration, physical presence as workplace); it must be amenable for communication analysis (mission, productivity, communication output).
Assuming roles of communication consultants, each team of students should study and prepare:
1. An overview of the organization (research, participant observation)
2. Identifying unique socialization, decision making, conflict management and organizational change/ leadership aspects of the organization (research, interpretive analytics, participant observation)
3. Assessing these aspects using class theory (literature analysis)
4. Collect and interpret data on organization’s diversity, technological adaptations and consideration of emotion, gender in work process)
5. A strategic communication plan for organization’s next 5 years (analysis)--MY PART
All said and done, students will be writing and telling a communication story about the organization.

This final project aims to empirically complement concurrent theor.docxterirasco
This final project aims to empirically complement concurrent theory that is class focus: socialization, decision making, conflict management and organizational change and leadership, issues of emotion, diversity and technological disruption in organizations.
Linking class theory to real organizational practice, students should choose an
organization
on campus or off campus, public or private, and investigate organizational communication aspects within these organizations. Fraternities, sororities, etc. are not suitable for this study. Beyond that, groups have wide latitude in choosing organizations: they can range from academic departments, religious institutions, food places, corporations, museums, more. Core criteria for choice: it must be an organization (identity, labor force, remuneration, physical presence as workplace); it must be amenable for communication analysis (mission, productivity, communication output).
Assuming roles of communication consultants, each team of students should study and prepare:
1. An overview of the organization (research, participant observation)
2. Identifying unique socialization, decision making, conflict management and organizational change/ leadership aspects of the organization (research, interpretive analytics, participant observation)
3. Assessing these aspects using class theory (literature analysis)
4. Collect and interpret data on organization’s diversity, technological adaptations and consideration of emotion, gender in work process)
5. A strategic communication plan for organization’s next 5 years (analysis)--MY PART
All said and done, students will be writing and telling a communication story about the organization.

This discussion provides an opportunity to evaluate a variety of dig.docxterirasco
This discussion provides an opportunity to evaluate a variety of digital and assistive technologies for supporting diverse learners. Based on the required readings from Housand & Housand (2012), McCombs (2000), and Page (2002), you know that research shows that effective technology integration can support student motivation, engagement, and interest in learning. Furthermore, research has shown that through thoughtful integration of audio, video, and other media, instruction can be differentiated, ultimately increasing a student’s motivation to learn. To explore this research, in this discussion you will analyze how technology integration can be used as a method of intervention to meet the needs of diverse learners. To prepare for this discussion, review the Week Two Instructor Guidance and the Required Resources for the week. Next, access either The
Teaching Channel
or
Edutopia
and conduct a search using the key words “using technology for learning motivation” or similar. Select one video that can inform your response to the discussion points below. If for some reason you are unable to support your response to this discussion using the video option, please contact your instructor for an alternative way to complete this discussion.
Initial Post:
Respond with an initial post that includes the following components:
Provide a link to the video you viewed and a succinct description of the video’s focus, such as the grade-level of students, the educator(s) involved, and the subject being taught (e.g., science or language arts).
In at least one paragraph, describe how the technology is being used in the video and describe what you observed in the video that informs you that students’ motivation is increased or otherwise supported due to the use of the technology.
Next, succinctly describe how the use of the technology promotes students’ engagement during the learning process.
Finally, describe the extent to which the use of technology and its motivating factors outweighs the potential challenges the educator might face in acquiring the technology and learning how to effectively implement it.

This Assignment will give you an opportunity to apply techniques of art analysis to a work of art that catches your attention. You will investigate the main points and purposes of that movement in art from the era of Modernism and see how it is relevant and present in today’s works of creative expression.
Part I:
Introduce a movement of art, literature, architecture, or music from the unit. You should explain why you decided to investigate this movement. Explain the details and introduce some of the purposes behind this style of creation. These ideas are not limited to the time frame when they were put to use. Instead, learning about art in the Modern Era can give you tools for evaluating art, ideas, design, and music today as well.
Part II:
Choose and introduce a creative product made between 2000 and today. You will make a case for why you believe this selection suits the movement you selected from the Modern Era. This could be a present-day work of art, architecture, literature, film, philosophy, design, opera, dance or music. What is this work? What makes you choose it?
Part III:
Explain why the present-day work of artistic expression meets the definition of the Modernist movement on your view. Demonstrate the similarities that you see, the ideas and concepts that make it fit, and how you felt these ideas were connected. Explain why you think the present day creation would use the features of the Modernist artistic movement. Aim to really explain, justify, and interpret the ideas based on the concepts from the course and the ideas you have learned in the unit.

This assignment tests your ability to correctly identify and apply.docxterirasco
This assignment tests your ability to correctly identify and apply statistical techniques, describe and interpret results, and present managerial recommendations. You will be graded on each of these concepts.
Always create your own tables to present the results. Simple copying and pasting the SPSS tables will
reduce your grade
(you may copy/paste histograms from SPSS).
First copying/pasting into Excel (or other) than copying/pasting into SPSS is the same thing. Be sure to create presentation quality tables from the raw data tables produced by SPSS.
Keep in mind that a table may not be necessary for every question. Assume any data errors you discover are double-entries which should be corrected to single-entries (e.g., 44 should be 4). Not finding and correcting these errors means your other answers will probably be wrong. Be sure to properly list results (e.g., sort means in descending order, etc.) rather than a random (i.e., lack of meaning) order.
Download the SPSS file “Avery Fitness Center MR 2015.sav” from Blackboard>Assignments. Refer to both the survey (p. 357) and codebook (p. 358) for guidance.
The class handouts and Chapters 17 and 18 provide examples of the needed techniques and interpretations. The class handouts and Chapters 19 and 20 provide guidance on how to best present your results. Unless specified otherwise, use an alpha of .05. Be sure to report all relevant values (e.g., chi-square, et cetera). Also use a 95% confidence level where appropriate unless told otherwise. The
Guide to Using SPSS
, the textbook, and the class handouts will help you use SPSS.
When done, submit a single Word document with your “lastname” in the filename on Blackboard>Assignments>SPSS Homework Submission.
NOTE
: The results you get will be DIFFERENT from the exhibits in the book!
Remember to use relevant data to thoroughly explain and analyze your answers. In addition to the correct answers, you will be graded on the clarity of communication including the appearance of exhibits (e.g. tables). Presenting the SPSS tables will lower your grade. The tables you submit should be created in either Word or Excel (or similar).
This is an
INDIVIDUAL
assignment. Sharing of answers, data, tables, analysis, et cetera is strictly prohibited. While it is acceptable to ask a classmate on how to use SPSS, you cannot work together on the analysis of the data, creation of the tables, or any other component of this project.

Siemens' Simple Structure
There is perhaps no tougher task for an executive than to restructure a European organization. Ask former Siemens CEO Klaus Kleinfeld.
Siemens, with 77 billion euros in revenue in 2008, some 427,000 employees, and branches in 190 countries, is one of the largest electronics companies in the world. Although the company has long been respected for its engineering prowess, it's also derided for its sluggishness and mechanistic structure. So when Kleinfeld took over as CEO, he sought to restructure the company along the lines of what Jack Welch did at General Electric. He has tried to make the structure less bureaucratic so decisions are made more quickly. He spun off underperforming businesses. And he simplified the company's structure.
Kleinfeld's efforts drew angry protests from employee groups, with constant picket lines outside his corporate offices. One of the challenges of transforming European organizations is the customary active participation of employees in executive decisions. Half the seats on the Siemens' board of directors are allocated to labor representatives. Not surprisingly, the labor groups did not react positively to Kleinfeld's GE-like restructuring efforts. In his efforts to speed those efforts, labor groups alleged, Kleinfeld secretly bankrolled a business-friendly workers' group to try to undermine Germany's main industrial union.
Due to this and other allegations, Kleinfeld was forced out in June 2007 and replaced by Peter Löscher. Löscher has found the same tensions between inertia and the need for restructuring. Only a month after becoming CEO, Löscher was faced with a decision whether to spin off the firm's underperforming 10 billion-euro auto parts unit, VDO. He had to weigh the forces for stability, which want to protect worker interests, against US-style pressures for financial performance. One of VDO's possible buyers is a US company, TRW, the controlling interest of which is held by Blackstone, a US private equity firm. German labor representatives have derided such private equity firms as "locusts." When Löscher decided to sell VDO to German tire giant Continental Corporation, Continental promptly began to downsize and restructure the unit's operations.
Löscher has continued to restructure Siemens. In mid-2008, he announced elimination of nearly 17,000 jobs worldwide. He also announced plans to consolidate more business units and reorganize the company's operations geographically. "The speed at which business is changing worldwide has increased considerably, and we're orienting Siemens accordingly," Löscher said.
Since the switch from Kleinfeld to Löscher, Sie.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
