CH 8 Performance Appraisal

Performance Diagnosis
Managing the performance of employees is a vital—yet delicate—responsibility. One of the toughest aspects of performance management is assessing why someone is not performing well. Although it may be easy to spot who is not performing well, it is not always easy to diagnose the underlying causes of that person’s poor performance (such as their motivation, ability, and external constraints). But without a correct diagnosis, it is nearly impossible to fix the problem. Managers also need to coach employees to improve their performance.

Assignment
Following are descriptions of three different employees. Describe what the potential causes of poor performance for each of the following employees might be and solutions that could enhance the person’s performance.

1.Carl Spackler is the assistant greenskeeper at Bushwood Country Club. Over the past few months, members have been complaining that gophers are destroying the course and digging holes in the greens. Although Carl has been working evenings and weekends to address the situation, the problem persists. Unfortunately, his boss is interested only in results, and because the gophers are still there, he contends that Carl is not doing his job. He has accused Carl of “slacking off” and threatened his job.

2.Clark Griswold works in research and development for a chemical company that makes non-nutritive food additives. His most recent assignment has been the development of a non-nutritive aerosol cooking spray, but the project is far behind schedule and seems to be going nowhere. CEO Frank Shirley is decidedly upset and has threatened that if things do not improve, he will suspend bonuses again this year, as he did last year. Clark feels dejected because without the bonus he will not be able to make a down payment on the family’s swimming pool.

3.Tommy Callahan Jr. recently graduated from college after 7 years and returned home to Sandusky, Ohio. His father, Big Tom Callahan, the owner of Callahan Motors, offers Tommy a job in the auto parts factory that makes brake pads. The factory is in severe danger of going under unless sales of the company’s new brake pads increase dramatically. Tommy must go on the road with Richard (Big Tom’s right-hand man) in a last-ditch effort to save the company. But Tommy proves to be unfocused, inexperienced, and lacking in confidence. In sales call after sales call he meets with rejection, even when the prospect looks promising. Customers express some concern about a warranty on the brake pads, but Richard believes that Tommy’s inexperience and awkward approach are the big problems.

Pagana: Mosby’s Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests, 6th Edition

Adolescent With Diabetes Mellitus (DM)

Case Studies

The patient, a 16-year-old high-school football player, was brought to the emergency room in a coma. His mother said that during the past month he had lost 12 pounds and experienced excessive thirst associated with voluminous urination that often required voiding several times during the night. There was a strong family history of diabetes mellitus (DM). The results of physical examination were essentially negative except for sinus tachycardia and Kussmaul respirations.

Studies Results

Serum glucose test (on admission), p. 227 1100 mg/dL (normal: 60–120 mg/dL)

Arterial blood gases (ABGs) test (on admission),

  1. 98

pH 7.23 (normal: 7.35–7.45)

PCO2 30 mm Hg (normal: 35–45 mm Hg)

HCO2 12 mEq/L (normal: 22–26 mEq/L)

Serum osmolality test, p. 339 440 mOsm/kg (normal: 275–300mOsm/kg)

Serum glucose test, p. 227 250 mg/dL (normal: 70–115 mg/dL)

2-hour postprandial glucose test (2-hour PPG), p. 230

500 mg/dL (normal: <140 mg/dL)

Glucose tolerance test (GTT), p. 234

Fasting blood glucose 150 mg/dL (normal: 70–115 mg/dL)

30 minutes 300 mg/dL (normal: <200 mg/dL)

1 hour 325 mg/dL (normal: <200 mg/dL)

2 hours 390 mg/dL (normal: <140 mg/dL)

3 hours 300 mg/dL (normal: 70–115 mg/dL)

4 hours 260 mg/dL (normal: 70–115 mg/dL)

Glycosylated hemoglobin, p. 238 9% (normal: <7%)

Diabetes mellitus autoantibody panel, p. 186

insulin autoantibody Positive titer >1/80

islet cell antibody Positive titer >1/120

glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody Positive titer >1/60

Microalbumin, p. 872 <20 mg/L

Diagnostic Analysis

The patient’s symptoms and diagnostic studies were classic for hyperglycemic ketoacidosis associated with DM. The glycosylated hemoglobin showed that he had been hyperglycemic over the last several months. The results of his arterial blood gases (ABGs) test on admission indicated metabolic acidosis with some respiratory compensation. He was treated in the emergency room with IV regular insulin and IV fluids; however, before he received any insulin levels, insulin antibodies were obtained and were positive, indicating a degree of insulin resistance. His microalbumin was normal, indicating no evidence of diabetic renal disease, often a late complication of diabetes.

During the first 72 hours of hospitalization, the patient was monitored with frequent serum glucose determinations. Insulin was administered according to the results of these studies. His condition was eventually stabilized on 40 units of Humulin N insulin daily. He was converted to an insulin pump and did very well with that. Comprehensive patient instruction regarding self- blood glucose monitoring, insulin administration, diet, exercise, foot care, and recognition of the signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia was given.

Critical Thinking Questions

  1. Why was this patient in metabolic acidosis?
  2. Do you think the patient will eventually be switched to an oral hypoglycemic agent?
  3. How would you anticipate this life changing diagnosis is going to affect your patient according to his age and sex?
  4. The parents of your patient seem to be confused and not knowing what to do with this diagnoses.

Rent and watch the movie: Hidden Figures (2016)

Assignment: The goal of this paper is to provide you an opportunity to examine your feelings about women, in sciences, how women are looked at and valued in a profession dominated by men. This could apply to women in sports as well. It was a time when many women were discouraged from steeping outside the society norms for them. This would have been the same for women’s sports as well. The comparison is that in the sports world or the sciences women were not considered strong enough or smart enough.

Before you watch the movie: Take a few moments to answer these questions:

  1. This move deals with three African American Women in the 1960’s working for NASA. What society norms had to be broken in order for Katherine Gobles, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan to succeed?
  2. During this time in history would women have been treated diffidently if they were athletes and not mathematicians?
  3. Were women’s sports small just like women mathematicians during this time in history?

After you watch the movie: Take some time to reflect on the movie, the feelings that it invoked, and write A REACTION PAPER (your thoughts, ideas, & feelings) that answers these questions:

These questions must be answered in your reflection paper of the movie.

  1. What the movie Hidden Figures about? What were the women called at the Langley Research Center? What was the climate like during the 1961 race to put man into space?
  2. Who was Katherine Goble Johnson? Who was Mary Jackson? Dorothy Vaughan? What was Katherine Goble Johnson’s strength? What was Mary Jackson’s strength? What was Dorothy Vaughan strength?
  1. What obstacles did Katherine, Mary and Dorothy have to overcome despite them being women and African American in a male dominated culture?
  2. How did head engineer Paul Stafford show Katherine Goble Johnson respect?

 The Fear Instinct

In Chapter 4, “The Fear Instinct,” the author provides data regarding a few common fears that many people face, including natural disasters, airplane crashes, and terrorism. Rosling reminds us that “there’s no room for facts when our minds are occupied by fear” (103). He then mentions other problems- like contaminated water and alcohol abuse- that cause harm to many more people a year than the larger “media-worthy” incidents, like natural disasters.

For this discussion in 250 words:

  1. Research and Write: Think about a common fear that is not mentioned in the chapter. This might be a fear of yours or of someone you know. See if you can find data that exists about this fear. For example, if you are afraid of a shark attack, search “rates of shark attacks on humans” or “How many people are bitten by sharks each year?” Play with your search until you find a reliable source and meaningful data. Discuss and explain your findings, your source, and whether or not this data disputes or confirms this fear. If applicable, discuss how the media reports this fear.
  2. Question: Pose a question to your classmates that you had when considering this week’s discussion prompt. Be sure to make it an open-ended question (How? Why? What if?).
  3. Connect and Reply: Respond to two of your peers by asking questions or discussing the results of your research.
