Flight article

“Remember, you fly an airplane with your head, not your hands and feet.” Flights are common these days especially among travellers though they have lots of advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, Flights are sometimes advantageous. In the first place, they are considered the fastest means of transportation. They also enable you to travel to any country without being affected by any physical barrier.

On the other hand, flights also have some cons that result in some fatal problems like to global warming. These harmful emissions from planes affect the environment and people badly.

Last but not least, any problem must have some solutions.Firstly, we can invent new planes that produce less emissions, use fuel economically, or use bio fuel that is available and less harmful. This, of course, leads to and better environment for any living creature.

All things considered, flights havenumerous pros that people can enjoy though they also have some cons which people must work hard to avoid. Do you think that peoplecan overcome these problems by 2025?

Personality and behavior

Instructions

When discussing personality and behavior, we must realize that personality is relatively stable, whereas emotions or moods can change frequently. In our materials, Austin (2019) discussed the ABC approach to Organizational Behavior Management. He explained that antecedents (A) lead to behaviors (B) which lead to consequences (C). For 48 hours, keep an antecedents journal. Record what you do daily, make notes about what consequences occur from those behaviors, and record what you were thinking about right before the behavior (antecedent).

Discuss five of your observed behaviors. Were they beneficial, detrimental, mixed? What patterns did you see from your antecedents that lead to either positive or negative behavior? How could you conscientiously change your antecedent to limit detrimental behavior? List at least five examples. An example is shown below (do not use this example).

Performance Management

As a newly hired human resources manager, the CEO solicits a meeting with you and other senior leaders in the organization. During the meeting, she raises concerns about the decline in employee performance and shares that she suspects it must be due to the quality of new hires or a lack of incentive for them to perform better. The Vice President (VP) of operations shares his frustration with the poor performance and productivity seen in his department and states the following: “I think we should fire underperforming employees immediately and start over by hiring those who are better qualified.” At the conclusion of the meeting, the CEO tasks you with sharing your diagnosis and recommendations at the next meeting. In preparation for the follow up meeting, you begin conducting internal research, and your investigation uncovers several critical problems that must be solved in order to improve the performance of the organization. Some of the problems include poor job descriptions, a poor performance management system, a lack of training, low base pay for new hires, and no recognition program.

To communicate with senior leaders, you must create a two-page memo to explain the issues, as well as offer appropriate solutions. Given your assessment of the current use of individual development plans, describe the necessary steps to mitigate the current issues. In your memo,

  • Describe the recommendations for methods of identifying employee performance issues.
  • Evaluate alternative methods of employee development.
  • Describe the steps you would take to implement your recommendations.
  • Support your assessment and recommendations with at least one scholarly and/or credible source.

Tooter’s and ADR

Tooters Restaurant used an alternative dispute resolution program. Employees of Tooters had to sign an “agreement to arbitrate employment-related disputes” to be eligible for raises, transfers, and promotions. Under the agreement, both Tooters and the employee agreed to resolve all disputes arising out of employment, including “any claim of discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, or wrongful discharge, whether arising under federal or state law,” through arbitration.

In a separate policy document not shared with employees until after they had signed the agreement, Tooters set forth the rules and procedures of its arbitration program:

The employee had to provide notice of the specifics of the claim, but Tooters did not need to file any type of response to these specifics or notify the employee of what kinds of defenses the company planned to raise.

Only the employee had to provide a list of all facts or witnesses and a brief summary of the facts known to each.

While the employee and Tooters could each choose an arbitrator from a list, and the two arbitrators chosen would then select a third to create the arbitration panel that would hear the dispute, Tooters alone selected the arbitrators that were put on the list.

Only Tooters had the right to widen the scope of arbitration to include award any matter, whereas the employee was limited to the matters raised in his or her notice.

Only Tooters had the right to record the arbitration.

Only Tooters could cancel the agreement to arbitrate or change the arbitration rules.

Dawn had worked as a bartender at the Tooters restaurant for about five years before Tooters adopted its arbitration policy. Dawn was given a copy of the agreement to arbitrate to review for five days and then sign. Approximately two years later, a Tooters official grabbed and slapped her buttocks. After appealing to her manager for help and being told to “let it go,” she quit her job. When she threatened to file a lawsuit for sexual harassment, Tooters filed an action in federal district court to compel arbitration of Dawn’s claims.

  1. Should Dawn be forced to settle her claim through arbitration? Why?
  2. Assume your company’s arbitration policy was exactly like Tooters’. Name one aspect would you retain, and which one might you change? Why? Be specific.
