After reading Chapters 5 and 6 you might understand why Chapter 6 talks about job stress. It can certainly happen in any job but tends to find itself in the IT field a lot. Many companies that I have worked for or have visited have some sort of stress release mechanism for their employees.

Your assignment for this chapter is to:

  1. List (using bullets) the 9 job stress factors mentioned Chapter 6. Use one page all by itself to type this list. It will not be a full page and that is OK.
  2. Then, write at least a one-page paper to your answer to the questions below – You are a manager of a corporation and you notice that your employees just do not seem to be doing their work as effectively as they used to. They seem unhappy. Yet, no one is complaining. After a while, you realize that everyone has been under a lot of stress because of a big project they have been working on. What stress release mechanism would you provide your employees to help them deal with this stress? Less work is not an option.
  3. Find something on the internet in which any of the Fortune 500 companies use to help their employees release stress. Provide a brief explanation of what you read and include the URL in which the article is located. This would be a third page and again does not need to be a full page.

Answer the questions below and the discussion.

1.       What did Benny Goodman do after his “Let’s Dance” show was cancelled and how did this lead to his being “crowned” the “King of Swing”?

2.       What was the date of the repeal of alcohol prohibition and what did that have to do with the increase in the need for swing bands?

3.       What and where was “The Savoy”?

4.       Besides great music what was the significance of Benny Goodman’s small groups?

5.       What other band leaders were mentioned in the “Other Popular Big Bands” section?

6.       In the “Battle of the Bands” article what bands were involved and who “won”?

7.       Who was Count Basie? What makes his style different?

9.       Describe Lester Young’s sound and his method of approaching improvisation.

10.   What were the reasons given for the demise of the swing era?

On our Pandora discussion I had you listen to several artists, choose one, create a channel and list/review the songs chosen. On this assignment I want you to explore some swing artists and write us a short biography on one of them.

In the reading I presented quite a few videos of different swing artists. I want you to choose one of them to create your Pandora “channel”. Listen to this channel for at least four songs (list the first four even if you listen to more). I want you to choose ONE of the different artists that Pandora provides and write a short biography on him/her. THIS MUST BE AN ARTIST THAT WAS NOT PRESENTED TO US IN THE READING. (One mentioned in passing would be OK. Like Mary Lou Williams or Frank Sinatra etc.) When and where were they born? What instrument? Claim to fame? Etc. Make sure you tell us the song you heard and what made you pick it. http://www.swingmusic.net/Big_Band_Era_Recording_Ban_Of_1942.html

http://www.swingmusic.net/Swing_Music_Chick_Webb_Cuts_Count_Basie.html

Your original post should be at least 100 words. You must respond substantively to at least TWO of your classmate’s posts. Just crank up the music and have some fun. I understand  “IHeart Radio” has a very similar program to Pandora’s. That would be OK too. Just make sure it is one in which you supply one artist and it gives you similar artists that it thinks you would enjoy. Happy exploring.

   Describe a performance issue which resulted from a motivational problem (what, why, who).

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:

1.     Describe a performance issue which resulted from a motivational problem (what, why, who).

2.     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.

3.     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.

Conduct some independent research and locate the following case: “Hines V. Anchor Motor Freight, Inc.,” 424 U.S. 554 (1976).

Answer the following case questions in a Word document and submit them to the drop box as instructed below. As always, write in effective sentences with proper mechanics.

Case Questions

Assessment 1: Individual Essay  Due date: Week 6 (subject to confirmation at class in first week)Maximum length: 2,000 words Weighting: 50%

Essay question:

Compare and contrast an aspect of employment relations in any two Southeast Asian countries. What are the causes of the differences between the two?

You may choose any aspect of employment relations for this essay. Two suitable aspects of employment relations would be the state and trade unions.

The Journal of Industrial Relations devoted a whole edition in 2016 (vol. 58, no. 2) to employment relations and the state in Southeast Asia, with articles on Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Cambodia and Myanmar. Two of those articles would provide a solid basis for your research for this essay. You would also need to find additional materials to supplement those JIR articles.

Benson and Zhu (2008) has chapters on unions in Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Any two of those chapters would provide a good foundation for an essay on unions – again, those two chapters would need to be supplemented with additional materials of your own.

  • Benson, J & Ying Zhu,Y (eds) 2008, Trade unions in Asia: An economic and sociological analysis, Routledge, London.

Other suitable topics for comparison in the essay could include:

  • Collective bargaining
  • Contingent or precarious work
  • Strikes or industrial conflict
  • HRM
  • Regulatory standards and minimum wage
  • Management style
  • Maternity leave
  • Gender equity
  • Work-life balance
  • Teleworking

You would need to ensure there is sufficient relevant academic literature available on that topic in your two preferred Southeast Asian countries.

Essential materials for the essay

You must use a minimum of six scholarly sources in your essay.

analyze the issue in health care administration and health care management by first making an outline of my topic and creating subtopics with numbered details.

Respond to this discussion APA cite 200 words

The topic I chose to discuss in my Capstone project is the different career positions that are available after obtaining a degree in health care management. I chose this topic for several reasons. First of all, it will be easy for me to extend my main paragraphs into 15 pages long because there is so much to discuss. There has been so many different careers mentioned and discussed in health care management throughout the past two years that I have been enrolled in this Bachelor’s program. As a result, I have several notes and books related to my topic that will help me successfully complete this project. The way that this topic is related to the field of health care administration is obvious. Health care administration is such a broad field and many positions are required in it. I will use the process of strategic planning to analyze the issue in health care administration and health care management by first making an outline of my topic and creating subtopics with numbered details. I will begin my paper by talking about the importance of the health care management field and why the demand for careers in the health care management field is so important. Then, I will proceed with pages on different health care positions and why those positions are important. I will conclude my paper with a list of every position that was mentioned throughout the body of my paper with a short main idea on each one and the reason for choosing my topic. I will use several references throughout my paper that will include books, statistics with and without graphs, and several online resources. I hope my topic sounds acceptable and I wish everyone the best of luck!
