Human Resource Management : Performance Appraisal

A performance appraisal is a regular review of employee job performance and contribution to organizational objectives. In many cases, performance appraisals are conducted at the end of the year to evaluate employee performance, as well as set performance for the next year. For this assignment, you will evaluate another function of HR and management and its contribution to effective performance management. Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read the article Adapting the Performance Appraisal Process to Meet the Needs of the Modern Workplace (Links to an external site.).

In your paper,

Discuss how performance appraisals are a function of HR and management.
Analyze the basic components of an effective performance appraisal.
Explain how performance appraisals can contribute to organizational goals and objectives.
Explain the advantages of performance appraisals and how they contribute to effective training and development.
Explain potential forms of discrimination based on labor laws and regulations when conducting a performance appraisal.

Social Work Theory and Clinical Practice

Application of Role Theory to a Case Study

This week, you will use role theory to apply to your chosen case study. In other words, your theoretical orientation—or lens—is role theory as you analyze the case study. Use the same case study you chose in Week 2. (Remember: You will be using this same case study throughout the entire course.)

Use the Analysis of a Theory Worksheet to help you dissect the theory. You do not need to submit this handout. It is a tool for you to use to dissect the theory, and then you can employ the information in the table to complete your Assignment.

To Prepare

• Review and focus on the same case study that you used in Week 2.

• Use the Analysis of a Theory Worksheet to help you dissect the theory. Use this tool to dissect the theory, employ the information in the table to complete your Assignment, and then keep it to add to your Theories Study Guide in Week 11.

•

The presentation should include 11–12 slides.

• Use bullet points when writing on each slide, meaning no long paragraphs of written text should be in the slides.

• while the bullet points provide context and cues for the audience to follow along.

Your presentation should address the following:

• Identify the presenting problem for the case study you selected. (Remember: The presenting problem has to be framed from the perspective of role theory. For example, the presenting problem can be framed within the context of role functioning.)

• Identify all the relevant roles assumed by the client.

• Analyze the social expectations and social and cultural norms revolving around the role, social position, and role scripts of one of the roles assumed by the client.

• Explain the role and social position of the social worker in working with the client in the case study.

• Describe how the role(s) and social position(s) assumed by the social worker will influence the relationship between the social worker and the client.

• Identify three assessment questions that are guided by role theory that you will ask the client to better understand the problem.

• Identify and describe two interventions that are aligned with the presenting problem and role theory.

• Identify one advantage and one limitation in using role theory in understanding the case.

Submit also, as a separate document, your Week 4 Analysis of a Theory Worksheet.

Be sure to:

• Identify and correctly reference the case study you have chosen.

• Use literature to support your claims.

• Use APA formatting and style.

• Include a Reference List on the last slide.

you welcome to add more references if needed

Psychosocial Theory and Diverse Groups

Social work takes a holistic view to social problems, arguing that they are complex and multilayered, often contributed to by a number of individual, psychological, and social processes. Consequently, psychosocial theory is a theoretical lens that has been employed in social work to apply to an array of problems and populations. It also emphasizes respecting diversity factors and the strengths that individuals, families, and communities bring to the change process.

When attempting to understand the presenting problems of individuals, families, and/or organizations, it is also important to take into account the social roles they take on. As the name implies, role theory as a theoretical lens focuses on the roles assumed by individuals. The theory maintains that people’s behaviors are influenced by their role and the inherent expectations, norms, and power that underlie those social roles.

This week, you will put on two new theoretical lenses—psychosocial theory and role theory. You will examine how problems are conceptualized through the world of psychological and social processes as well as social roles.

Required Readings

Turner, F. J. (Ed.). (2017). Social work treatment: Interlocking theoretical approaches (6th ed.). Oxford University Press.

• Chapter 26, “The Psychosocial Framework of Social Work Practice” (pp. 411–419)

• Chapter 30, “Role Theory and Concepts Applied to Personal and Social Change in Social Work” (pp. 452–470)

Discussion: Psychosocial Theory and Diverse Groups

There will be times when a social worker is presented with a case where they are not familiar with the surrounding psychosocial issues. Because social workers are on a continual journey in learning, it is important to read pertinent literature. This Discussion provides an opportunity to visit the Walden University Library and strengthen your skills in identifying and locating an empirical research article.

Answer the following question:

• Post the APA-style reference for the article you found in the library. I have provided you the article.

• Describe four specific psychosocial factors that should be taken into account in order to understand the psychosocial context when working with the group you selected. Be sure to follow these requirements:

o Two factors you describe should be psychologically related

o Two factors you describe should be socially related

• Identify and explain how you would apply a psychosocial intervention that addresses one of the four specific psychosocial factors you described above.

• Identify one advantage of using a psychosocial framework in social work practice with the group you chose.
