Actions for Week 1: Fairness in the Workplace

Locked before Monday, July 11, 2016 12:00 AM PDT.
Human perception, attitudes, and motivation are of keen importance in managing others. One important Organizational Behavior issue spanning these dimensions is the concept of “perceived fairness” in the workplace.
Fairness is such a common phenomenon in organizations that most leaders/managers typically give it little thought. If an employee says the vacation/leave, or other policy, isn’t fair, he or she might get some attention. Unfortunately, some leaders/managers fail to realize that unfairness may cause overall performance to suffer and can even have severe economic consequences. Just because you are not paying attention doesn’t mean that unfairness isn’t making a big difference to your organization’s product/ performance quality, mission readiness or completion, customer service, and/or the bottom line.
• For 20 years Charlie, a baggage handler, was an asset to his airline. Callous rule changes and harsh supervisory treatment, however, led him to covertly retaliate. For months, he carefully “evened the score” by tearing off a few baggage tags each shift. Each missing tag caused the airline both service headaches and lost dollars (at the time, $55 per bag on average).
• Reflect on the military supervisor who appeared to have chosen “Attila the Hun” as a role model. Upset with what they perceived as a never-ending stream of oppressive behavior, two technicians took a number of particularly expensive silver-lined spare radar batteries and buried them in the boonies. They almost immediately rotated stateside, leaving “Attila the supervisor” to account for (and partially pay for) these items upon his later rotation date.
While such examples may seem a little extreme, more subtle responses may abound; please consider the questions below and engage in a discussion with your classmates.
Remember, after you submit your answer this week to the Discussion Question itself, you also need to respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.
(In total for this module’s two-part Discussion Forum you should have contributed at least two Discussion Question posts and four response posts to your classmates.)
You must participate in BOTH Week 1 and Week 2 Discussion questions to get credit for the module’s Discussion.
Posting early each week will allow for more opportunities for leading the discussions, making substantial contributions, and engaging in meaningful and mutual discussions with others.
Week 1 Discussion Question:
Have you seen or reliably heard of such behavior? If so, please cite an example. And what kind of costs/losses (financial and otherwise) might be associated with your example?

ASSIGNMENT CASE STUDY INTRODUCTION :

Edinburgh Trams is a tramway in Edinburgh, Scotland, operated by Transport for Edinburgh. It is a 14-kilometre (8.7 mi) line between York Place in New Town and Edinburgh Airport, with 15 stops.
Construction began in June 2008, but after encountering a number of delays it did not open until 31 May 2014. The scheme had an initial estimated cost of £375 million in 2003, but by May 2008, when contracts were signed, the cost had risen to £521 million. After extra interest payments are factored in, the final cost is expected to top £1 billion.

Assignment Brief :
The Dundee City Council who is seeking to develop a tram system of its own has recently appointed you. They have concerns over the problems that Edinburgh had with their tram project. Your assignment is to write a report on the prospective Dundee tram system as a project – considering what is likely to go well and what not so well. Your report should therefore focus on the project management aspects including the key risks e.g. loss of money and overrunning its schedule and not meeting the performance requirements expected from a infrastructure project of this type.

Produce a detailed business case and project plan, and any recommendations to Dundee City Council Project Board that you consider appropriate.
You need to use those sub-headings below and add more.

• Introduction
• Project objectives

• Stakeholder analysis
• Project Scope Management
• Project Schedule and Plan

Patient education on Stroke Prevention

create a flyer, or poster, or whatever you think would be efficient for the adult population of geratrics (elderly)

Application: Patient Education on Stroke Prevention

A stroke is a serious disorder that impacts patients quickly, requiring immediate intervention and treatment. Due to implications of this disorder, patient education is essential for patient populations at an increased risk of stroke. According to the National Stroke Association, up to 80% of strokes can be prevented in patients (National Stroke Association, 2012). For this reason, it is essential that you provide patients with the education and tools necessary to reduce their risk as well as identify signs and symptoms of strokes. In this Assignment, you have the opportunity to give back to your practicum site by creating media to educate patients about stroke prevention. When designing patient education media such as flyers, posters, and music, it is important to consider strategies that meet the needs of the patient population you treat at your practicum site.

Note: This Assignment is the focus of the week’s Discussion and should be completed and ready to post by Day 4.

To prepare:
•Review the stroke prevention articles in this week’s Learning Resources.
•Reflect on common lifestyle, behavioral, and cultural choices of the population that you treat within your practicum setting. Consider stroke prevention methods for this population.
•Think about ways to educate patients on these prevention methods. Consider educational pieces such as flyers, posters, or other media that might be most effective with your patient population.

To complete:

Design a media piece to educate patients on stroke prevention. You may create a flyer, poster, or any other media that is suitable for your patient population.
