Motivation and Behavior ( No plagarism )

[Pin It]

We learned effective communication is essential in overcoming conflict, embracing our similarities and differences, and streamlining our work. On the basis of your learning, review the scenario given below and develop the ways to address any misunderstandings based on ineffective communication.

You have been invited to be in charge of developing a team-building activity to improve collaboration, morale, and increased communication for your team members. Your department is closing for the day so you all can spend about four hours together in a team environment. The staff members will be placed into groups of three to run a maze, and the winning team will receive an extra four hours paid time off (PTO) time to use for a half vacation day. All members are excited about getting extra time off and, even though they have not participated in a maze-running event, they are happy to be out of the office. After the race is over, the group will be treated for lunch at a very nice restaurant. Review the following details of team members:

Rosamma and Mary are the two administrative staff members who do not get along. Rosamma keeps to herself, is quiet, wears traditional long dresses and cooks ethnic foods for lunch every day. Mary is outspoken, loud, hurries through assignments, and seems to be on her cell phone often talking about her personal life to friends. Mary is twenty and Rosamma is forty-six.
Cindy, thirty-five, and Lolita, forty, are the part-time staff members. They often bring their problems to work and are stressed due to the economy. They interact at work with the full time staff, but the full time staff think they complain too much and “what for, they only work part-time.”
Chip is a twenty-three-year-old maintenance worker who has two children and works a part-time job at night in addition to his full-time role. He is tired as he has been continuously working for many days.
Samir is fifty-five and works full-time, and cannot wait until he retires.
Sarah is the fifty-two-year-old negative department manager who complains about everyone else. However, she is a strong informal leader and has influence over the group.
Jerry is twenty-four and in graduate school. In fact, he is the president of his class and majors in business. He will likely leave in about one year when he graduates. He has a positive attitude and is currently a bit demotivated because no one likes to work together and there seems to be no direction at this point. He has made fun of Sarah just because she makes negative comments to him.
You are the manager (use your current age) and you are just promoted into this position as the leader of the group.

Your presentation should consist of 12 professional color Microsoft PowerPoint slides (not including the title and reference slide) along with detailed speaker notes to include examples to support each slide.

You need to divide the teams into three groups. Remember this is a team-building activity.

Can you put Rosamma and Mary together on a team when they clearly have communication issues and Mary feels Rosamma is “slow and too quiet . . . besides, she prays all the time.” Should the two younger males in the department be put on the same team or divided up to run with the women, even though they make comments about how old Sarah is and how she wears old-fashioned clothes? Give reasons.
How will you make the determination which members to put together?
Should members, who have a negative attitude, be placed with team members who are excited about this event? Why or why not?
How will a negative manager affect the overall group dynamic as opposed to a positive leader who wants to see his or her team develop?
How influential can an informal leader be among the team members? Can an informal leader carry more power than the formal manager?
What barriers to effective teamwork can you anticipate and how will it be addressed?
What specific traits will make this team-building activity a success?
How can effective leaders demonstrate care and value the workgroup to improve collaboration, motivation, and low turnover in the workplace?
How do you think results can improve when effective communication is practiced in the healthcare field with peers, colleagues, and leadership teams?

Support your responses with examples.

Here is the Question

Unionization & Enforceable Labor Standards in the Global Market:

Globalization presents new frontiers and challenges for labor organizations. These changes include westernized labor mindsets being introduced into foreign cultures, which often collide with pre-existing organized labor in the host countries. Discuss why globalization has profound implications for domestic employment issues and whether these implications suggest an enforceable labor standard (a social clause) be added to free trade agreements. If so, what should the standards be and how should they be enforced?

This is what student posted. You are replying to these two students. reply to 2 classmates’ threads. Each thread must include 2 citations from scholarly/peer-reviewed sources in addition to the text and relevant scriptural integration, all in current APA format. Replies must be at least 150 words and include at least 1 citation from scholarly/peer-reviewed sources in addition to the text and relevant scriptural integration in current APA format.

“Globalization is increased economic integration among countries, and it is one of the most important pressures on labor relations – and employment more generally – in the United States and around the world in the 21st century” (Budd, 2013, p. 385). Globalization is the form of integration in which all countries follow one rule. The idea is for all to become one and follow the same processes. Free trade is the process of eliminating all trade obstacles. “Fair trade is the incorporation of labor, environmental, public health, and other standards into the trade agreements and the ability to impose trade sanctions on countries that violate these standards” (Budd, 2013, p. 394). Globalization lessens labor’s trading influence while free trade throughout countries permits consumers and producers an advantage from specialization (Budd, 2013, p. 387). Adding these standards prevents social dumping and avoids “race to the bottom” in wages and working conditions (Budd, 2013, p. 394).

Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel[a]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth (Genesis 11: 4-9 NIV).

The attempted construction of the Tower of Babel in rebellion to God’s command to fill the earth is a form of Globalization. In response to the uprising, God confused their languages, and forced them to scatter and settle around the earth. “Man’s plans will never thwart God’s purposes. God had commanded mankind to “fill the earth” (Genesis 9:1). Man preferred to cloister rather than to comply with God’s command to spread out. In spite of man’s greatest efforts, God’s purposes prevailed” (11. The Unity of Unbelief (Genesis 11:1-9), 2015).

Second Student- Vicky Best

Unionization and enforceable labor standards are practically non-existent in the global marketplace. Budd (2013) indicate, “In the 21stcentury, routine jobs can be shifted to low-cost countries, U.S. companies can no longer be competitive in the global marketplace using traditional mass manufacturing methods” (Budd, 2013, p. 354). One study on the global economy by George Tsogas (2009) states, “as the global economy diminishes the regulatory capacity of the nation-state, transnational forms of labour regulation are created (or attempted) to fill the vacuum” (Tsogas, 2009, p. 75). As noted in Angel Torres (2014) article, “unlike first world countries, developing nations continuously struggle to enforce labor right provisions attached as conditions in trade agreements” (Torres, 2014, p. 617). Torres eludes to trade agreements that lack basic enforcement of not only human rights…but labor rights as well (Torres, 2014).

To add, enforceable labor standards should be required globally. Noting that, different countries with different policies in place would require additional provisions for globally standardized labor laws (Tsogas, 2009). The “fifty-eight Federal Trade Agreements (FTA) containing labor provisions” noted by Torres is an indication that global labor concerns is an issue of interest (Torres, 2014). Another concern in globalization is at the company level. Budd identifies centralization and decentralization as a means of tension for international managers (Budd, 2013, p. 411). On the one hand, they strive at “intergration and efficiency” and “local responsiveness and autonomy” on the other (Budd, 2013, p. 411).

The global marketplace is a diverse realm that can be made stronger for all countries. First implement and then enforce labor laws universally, and if needed, to accommodate differing country policies, add to the already universal labor laws thus ensuring global fairness.

Although some countries are undeveloped, it is the developed countries duty to help one another. Hebrew 10:24-25 which says “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near” (ESV). In addition, the Bible tells Christians to “open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy” (Proverbs 31:8-9, ESV).
