The Importance of Having a Strong Work Ethic
A strong work ethic is an important part of being successful in your career. Work ethic is a set of values based on the ideals of discipline and hard work. Building a strong work ethic will allow a person to train themselves so that hard work is almost automatic. Forming good habits such as focusing, staying motivated, finishing tasks immediately, and more helps to create a good work ethic that will impress employers.

Focus and Persistence
People with a good work ethic have the ability to stay focused on tasks for as long as necessary to get them done. Building persistence will allow you to basically train yourself to work for longer periods of time while also working harder. It is important though, to balance persistence with adequate rest to reduce the risk of burnout. Focus is equally as important as persistence when it comes to work ethic. Focusing will allow you to finish tasks more efficiently while avoiding distractions.

Finish Tasks in a Timely and Efficient Manner
People with a strong work ethic do not procrastinate and instead immediately tackle their work tasks. In addition to getting to tasks right away, a good work ethic involves doing things properly. Employers do not want to see sloppy and incorrect work and may question the work ethic of people who produce poor quality work.

Always Be Punctual
In order to make a good impression, you should always be punctual for school, work or appointments. Some people have a hard time getting out the door, so setting the clock ahead a few minutes or planning to leave the house extra early can help. Showing up late for work can signal to employers that you are not devoted to your job.
Be Professional

Being professional means more than wearing business attire. Professional includes demeanor, attitude, and values. People who want to develop a good work ethic should practice being cordial and positive and should always refrain for partaking in gossip. Professionals are respectful of others and work to develop a reputation of being an honest, hard worker.

Create a Work Life Balance
While it is important to show your employer that you are willing to work hard, it is important to create a healthy work life balance. Working too much can cause you to become overwhelmed and start messing up work. Getting enough sleep and taking the time need to recharge and relax is very important.

If you are motivated, it is easy to develop a strong work ethic that will be appreciated by employers and coworkers. Having a strong work ethic can also increase your chances of being considered for promotions, new jobs, and can lead to other positive outcomes.

Final Research Proposal

Impacts of Workplace Discrimination on Organizational Performance

The research proposal should be at least 15 pages (but not more than 25 pages), double-spaced, not including your title page, abstract, Appendix, and references page, and should contain the following sections:

1) Title Page

2) Abstract

3) Introduction: Explain your topic. Make a case for why this topic is important to the field of psychology.

A. Research questions you have developed for your topic: Conclude your discussion of the research topic by identifying specific research question(s) about the relationships between two or more concepts.

4) Literature Review: A minimum of 8 pages on the 5-7 relevant articles you selected: Read your articles thoroughly and provide a literature review that synthesizes what was theorized and discovered about regarding your topic. Do not write separate “summaries” for each article; rather, find connected themes or relationships in the different areas you cover. Use these relationships to frame your discussion of how variables were indicated, samples were obtained, and research designs were constructed. Are there any gaps or weaknesses present in the literature that can be investigated further? You will not necessarily refer to all the information from each article; instead, relate only that which is relevant to your topic and research question. Thus, your literature review should justify your study and support why conducting your proposed study would answer a problem that is not already well understood. Information should be drawn from appropriate sources, such as professional journals, books, and dissertations. Information gathered from literature sources must be appropriately cited, following APA guidelines.

5) Hypotheses: Considering your research question or statement of the problem, formulate a null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for each of your research questions.

A. Dependent and independent variables: Operationally define the dependent and independent variables for each hypothesis.

6) Method: Describe detailed information about how your study will be conducted.

Include the following in your method sections:

A. Participant Selection: Explain who your participants will be and what method you will use to select them. Be specific as possible as if you were giving directions to someone on how to choose and obtain the participants. Include instructions on how to get informed consent from the participants. Be sure to discuss how informed consent, privacy, anonymity, and confidentiality will be addressed in the study.

B. Data Collection Measure: Discuss how you will collect the data (observations, surveys, documents, etc.). Thus, who will be collecting the data, where will the data collection occur, what measures are you using to collect the data, how will the data be recorded, etc.? Include a copy of the survey or systematic observation you developed in an Appendix.

C. Research Design: Discuss the research design (either experimental, factorial, quasi-experimental, or non experimental), that you will use to examine your variables.

7) Discussion: Provide a discussion of the following information:

A. Validity: Describe any potential threats to the internal and external validity of your proposed study. Do you believe the results can be generalized to other populations?

B. Strengths and Weaknesses: Describe any strengths or weaknesses with respect to the proposed sampling, design, and data collection methods. What will not be “proven” though your study?

C. Ethical Considerations: What impact might participation in this study have on participants in the short and long-term? If there are relevant ethical issues, discuss them along with possible solutions.

Writing a dissertation

One of the many tasks involved in writing a dissertation or a research article is being able to justify the choice of one methodology over others. Just as critical to the feasibility of a study is the stated rationale for selecting a specific research design. This week, you are introduced to two research designs that have several features in common; there are also stark contrasts that are identifiable.

Consider what you have learned about the case study and phenomenological research designs. Using Job Satisfaction and Police Resignation in US Policing, how could you use these designs to gain insights to fulfill the purpose of your study?

Begin by selecting the approach that best fits the problem. Use the resources provided and at least three other peer-reviewed articles to defend your choice (two pages minimum). Create a one-page critique of the other research design that includes arguments why the design may not be suitable for researching your problem. Include a summary of the key arguments for your choice.

Create an instructor’s presentation to teach students about qualitative research designs. This week, you were presented with three different qualitative research designs. Determine the value of each of the five designs listed below and then critique the utility of each one relative to your research problem. Create a narrated PowerPoint presentation.

Part B: Going Beyond the Case

25% of Course Grade (Due: Sunday, midnight of week 10)

Instructions
As you know, a core principle at JWMI is “learn it today; apply it tomorrow.” This assignment is a continuation of the work you did in Part A, but the questions challenge you to go beyond simply analyzing what Satya Nadella did at Microsoft. It is time to consider how you can apply the leadership principles presented in the case to your own career. To prepare for Part B of this assignment, reread the entire case and review the feedback you received from your professor on Part A.
