Final Written Integration Paper. (70 points). The intention of this final integration paper is to provide you with the opportunity to identify specific actions you will take to integrate the concepts of organizational behavior in your current work role(s). You will write a 5 – 6 page, single spaced paper that includes two elements: 1) an summarizing the concepts from specific chapters of our book that are most important from your perspective and 2) for each of the three chapters that you summarize you will write detailed action steps describing how you will apply the information in your current work roles, school, volunteer or other activities you are involved in on a regular basis. You will identify specific steps you will take to expand, adjust or change your approaches when working with others to achieve important organization/team results. In this final paper you will demonstrate your learning from this course and your ability to integrate the concepts from the text/classes with the actions you will take to apply them. You will select THREE specific OB concepts from three different chapters in our text book and:

Summarize the importance of this concept to you/your team at work (you will use the formal theories, resources shared in this class)

List 3 – 4 specific actions you will take to enhance, improve, change your approach to apply the concepts at work (you can use the online discussion boards, approaches shared in class presentations, etc.). Since you will select THREE specific concepts from three different chapters and you will have 3 – 4 specific actions for each one, you will have a total of 9 – 12 specific actions in this final paper. All actions you include in your final integration paper should be what you are personally committed to doing and within your ability to make change (e.g. focusing on how to make your supervisor a better leader is not within your “sphere of influence”, however you can focus on how you will communicate in different ways with your supervisor to prevent miscommunications).

The final section of your paper will be a summary of the specific actions you took during this course to participate and contribute to the learning of others in the class. You will use participation rubric on the last page of the syllabus as a general guide to your reflection. You will link your actions IN EACH CLASS to the behaviors in the rubric. For example, “During the simulation we completed in class #2 on selection and individual differences, I took a leadership role by writing down the information that each person shared and organizing it in a way that we could all use it as we made our decision about the three candidates. I also asked specific questions to clarify the comments of XXXX when she shared her ratings about the candidate. Taking action to ask the questions helped me understand why she made that rating, since the ratings she made about the candidate were completely different from mine. . . . “. The intention of this reflection is to help you “see” the impact of your actions (and inactions) on organizational behavior in our class and how the dynamics change based on participation of each student.

Building Relationships at Work (you need to have THREE different sections bolded from 3 different chapters (this needs to be single spaced and a full page long MINIMUM):

Concept summary: Many factors impact relationships at work. The relationships that develop begin with how we perceive the individual (often from our first interaction with him/her). There are many biases that impact the initial interaction, which are based on social perceptions and the attribution process (page 75). The fundamental attribution error and self-serving bias are two ways that we seek to explain the causes of others’ actions and our own behavior. The fundamental attribution error occurs when we explain the mistakes that others make as linked to internal factors (e.g. she was late this morning because she tends to be lazy and doesn’t set her alarm clock). The self-serving bias focuses on how we explain our own mistakes as being linked to external causes (e.g. I was late today because my spouse was using my phone charger and my phone went dead during the night so my alarm didn’t go off – because I was so willing to help my spouse – I’m a very generous person – I ran a bit late this morning). Why it is important in Organizations: Social perceptions and biases directly impact the interactions we have of others and how we treat them at work. . .

Concept Summary: How we perceive people impacts how we will communicate with them. This is particularly true with communications between subordinates and supervisors. This is called Upward Communication (page 309) which is defined as how information is transmitted through different levels in an organization or team, between managers and their staff. The importance of upward communication is to facilitate a meaningful exchange of information between managers and their staff so that the work is being completed and staff have the resources and support they need to complete the work in a timely and high quality manner. Why it is important in Organizations: Upward communication is about working together in partnership with my supervisor so I can . . .

Concept Summary: People on the teams all have different personalities, backgrounds, skills, needs, interests, etc. The Interactionist Perspective (page 112) states that . . . . Why it is important in Organizations: People at work need to feel that they are valued and acknowledged for their unique combination of skills, talents, etc.

This needs to be a full page (minimum) for the integration of the Importance of “building relationships at work”.

Then you will write the 3 – 4 actions (on the next page) describing what you will specifically do at work to apply the concepts you have summarized.

Actions to Building Relationships at Work:

Social perceptions and attributions: When Joe was hired on the team 3 months ago, I made a quick judgment about him because of how he was dressed and how he talked during the interview (he didn’t sound very smart). My boss insisted we hire Joe and that I train him to do the job. I know I have been condescending with him sometimes because I saw him as a sloppy in the way he dressed and if he doesn’t care enough to look professional at work, then he must not care about the quality of his work. Now that I’ve found out more about him, I can see that my first impression was wrong and I’ve not treated him with as much respect as I should. Now I will start doing:

Ask Joe for feedback about . .

Share more information about . . .

Introduce Joe to . . . .

Upward Communication: I have felt like my supervisor wants too much information and is “checking up on me” rather than helping. As a result, my tone of voice is pretty defensive when we talk and I try to avoid him when I can. . .

Give him the information about XXX before he requests

Also provide him with ideas about . . .

Interactionist Perspective: I don’t say much to thank people for their work and I’m pretty stingy with “lollipop moments”. As a result, I will now begin . . .”

Mary – weekly feedback about . . .

My boss – thanking him for . . .

Sue — take her to lunch to discuss . . .

Hello, I had another study pool person write my essay and it was awful and got me a 19/40. If you think you can follow the rubric and get me a good grade please help. I will put files as soon as we start the tutoring session. Below is what my teacher commented.

Please follow MLA guidelines. Thanks.

Proofread for logic. Some of the sentences don’t make sense because they are grammatically confusing or incomplete in thought. Pay attention to correct MLA citations. It appears that in the introduction, you are trying to cover too many topics. Although the topic may be broad, you need to narrow that quite a bit in order to really cover it well in such a short essay. When trying to cover so many things, you run the danger of writing a superficial essay that says a little about a lot. It’s better to say a lot about a little (fewer ideas but in greater depth). “She did not smile at me” is about the storyteller. Mentioning customer service is nonsensical. The “devil” reference is a misunderstanding of the text. Work on transitions between ideas please. “it does not lack loop” what does that mean? The last three sources cited are insufficient/incomplete.

Deliverable Length: 2–3 pages or 1,000 words In the 1970s, Lenore Walker developed the social cycle theory known as the cycle of violence, which is a predictable pattern of behavior or stages that can occur hundreds of times during the course of an abusive relationship. Discuss the following in your paper:

• Identify the 4 stages of the cycle of violence.
• How has the cycle of violence manifested in the King family?
  • Identify when the family has entered a particular phase in the cycle, and give your rationale. Scenario: The King Family (Part 1)Amy King, 38, and Marty King, 42, are a married couple of 19 years with two teenage children: Ashley, 15, and Aaron, 17. The family resides in a middle-class community in suburban Chicago. Amy is a stay-at-home mother, while Marty is the manager at a popular local restaurant. For the last 15 years, the family has struggled financially. Amy has attempted to obtain employment on numerous occasions, but each time she gets a new job, she has to leave the employment within a few weeks citing the need to “take care of personal matters.” Marty handles the family finances and keeps a tight reign over spending.For several years, there have been allegations of domestic violence in the home in varying forms. Amy has had numerous injuries, including the following:
    • Black eyes
    • Bruising
    • Broken arm (spiral fracture)
    • Concussion
    • Burns

    The alleged perpetrator of the injuries is Amy’s husband, Marty. Both Amy and Marty have significantly downplayed the amount of violence in the home to concerned family and friends, who rarely get to see Amy and the kids. The only real contact the extended family has with the Kings is during the holidays. The police are very familiar with the King family, because there have been no less than 10 domestic violence calls to the home since 2000. Usually when the police come to the home, no arrests are made; however, in 2010, Marty was charged with domestic battery against Amy. With the assistance of her family and a victim advocate, Amy and the kids moved out of the home and filed an order of protection against Marty. However, Amy failed to appear in court, and the court dismissed the order. The criminal case was also dismissed. A few months later, Amy and the kids moved back into the family home.In addition to the intimate partner violence in the home, Amy and Marty are faced with criminal charges being filed against their son, Aaron. Aaron was involved in a fight at school that resulted in the other student being hospitalized. Aaron was arrested for battery and is awaiting trial in juvenile court. Aaron presents as a very angry young man with multiple discipline issues in school and poor academic performance. Aaron has also presented at school with bruises to his face, which he states are caused during fights with peers.The Kings’ daughter Ashley is a good student, a member of the track team, and is dating a fellow student, Jake. Ashley and Jake are inseparable, and Ashley’s parents have been concerned that Ashley spends too much time with Jake and that Jake is very controlling over Ashley. Marty recently forbid Ashley from spending any more time with Jake, but Ashley is defiant. She tells Marty and Amy that Jake is the only one who loves and understands her and that Jake needs her. Ashley has also had bruises to her neck and arms that she reports as track accidents. Aaron reports to his mother that he has seen posts on social media sites where Jake has made troubling comments about Ashley.Scenario Update: The King Family (Part 2)Phase 5 Update to Key Assignment ScenarioAaron has had significant personal and criminal trouble over the last 7 years. He has had two adjudications of delinquency and served 6 months in a juvenile detention center. As an adult, Aaron has 4 arrests for aggravated assault and domestic battery with one conviction. He has also had two arrests for driving under the influence (DUI), one of which is slated for trial in 3 months. Aaron lives with his girlfriend, Kelly, and her 2-year old son, Josiah. Last night, Kelly and Aaron brought Josiah to the hospital because he was complaining of pain in his arm. X-rays revealed Josiah has a spiral fracture to his arm. Child Protective Services was called by the hospital, and Josiah is now in protective custody. During the emergency room visits, the hospital staff also noted that Kelly had healing bruises on her face.

For each item in the excel sheet I have to find the wattage and
estimate monthly use for each one. Some items are already in watts, as
they were on the product. Then calculate the kWh per month per device.
Next I am to find out the average cost per KWh that I pay. The kWh for
February was 185kWh. The electrical cost was $32.52

Based on the KWh estimate and average electrical cost, determine the monthly cost expected.

Next
calculate monthly savings if you were to replace all incandescent
lighting to fluorescent bulbs. Determine how long it would take before
making the switch would cover the cost of bulbs.

This has to be done in excel and I am not familiar with inputting math equations in Excel. I attached the Excel sheet
