...Shermeese ****** Org. Behavior September 2, 2015 Case Incident 1- Levitating IQs 2-16) Do you believe people are really getting smarter? I do not necessarily believe people are getting smarter, because I do not believe technology is helping us intellectually. I believe we are just getting more technologically advanced and this causes us to rely on technology more for certain things like spelling and especially arithmetic. 2-17) How do you reconcile Flynn’s recent description the modern mind with the General Social Survey’s findings that U.S. adults perform poorly on scientific questions and aren’t knowledgeable about scientific method? I agree with Flynn’s description about our minds becoming more modern and not smarter. I also agree with his statement that U.S. adults perform poorly on scientific questions because they are not knowledgeable about the scientific method. I believe with modern technology things are taught differently in class and people learn quickly and forget quickly. 2-18) If the Flynn effect is real, does this undermine the theory that IQ is mostly inherited? Why or why not? No I do not believe that the Flynn effect undermines the theory that IQ is inherited. I also believe that most IQ is inherited however year after year the minds of people are becoming more modernized.

...1. A friend suggests that organizational behavior courses are useful only to people who will enter management careers. Discuss the accuracy of your friend’s statement. This chapter begins by saying that this book is about people working in organizations. Undoubtedly, many individuals will specialize in a distinct 1ield of study and enter careers other than management. However, they too will be members in work organizations. As such, the three main reasons for studying organizational behavior (understanding, predicting, in1luencing) will bene1it them as well. You may think of this technical knowledge/skills as providing “what” you need to know and be able to do to be successful in your chosen 1ield. On the other hand, OB knowledge bene1its everyone by addressing the people issues needed to apply technical knowledge and skills. Knowledge of OB provides valuable knowledge of “how” to address these people issues when applying accounting, marketing, engineering and other ideas in organizational settings. Ultimately, an individual’s career success is largely determined by his or her ability to understand and apply concepts in motivation, communication, team dynamics and other OB topics. 2.

Sources of Research Problems Nursing Practice Researcher and Peer Interaction Literature Review Theory Research Priorities Example of a Research Problem “Current policy at most hospitals requires the use of routine flushing of heparin locks after administration of medication or flushing heparin locks every 8 hours when not being used for medication administration. However, there is disagreement on whether flushes of low doses of heparin are necessary to maintain the patency of heparin locks. Heparin is known to be incompatible with many drugs. The interaction potential of heparin is said to be avoided by flushing the lock with normal saline injection before and after administration of the medication…Saline flush is a safe, time-saving procedure for nursing staff to perform.

...INTERNATIONAL DIMENSIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR Review Questions 1. Identify and describe the stages of development for global corporate evolution. Global corporate evolution experiences four stages, which are domestic phase, multi-domestic phase, multinational phase, and global phase. In domestic phase, corporations in one country usually neglect the need to decrease inconvenience aroused by cultural diversity, which may makes it difficult to broaden their business or win market share in other countries with different cultural contexts. In multi-domestic phase, firms begin to cater to the needs of each market segment with different cultural backgrounds since they realize that cultural diversity is a huge challenge in business expansion. Multinational phase witnesses the expansion of global market, where a large majority of multinational firms providing identical products emerge. Thus, the need to differentiate subtle cultural differences is weakened since cost control becomes an effective way to gain profits. In global phase, cultural difference is again emphasized. The way to quickly respond to customers’ needs in any market segment in a cost-efficient production mode dominates, which makes the ability to handle multicultural interaction essential for multinational firms. 2. Identify and describe Hofstede's dimensions of cultural differences. According to Hofstede, the five important dimensions of cultural differences...

...interviewer’s part: * Interpersonal skills, which put a job candidate at ease and elicit the most accurate responses. * Preparation helps an interviewer cover all job-related questions and avoid saying things that might violate antidiscrimination laws, create an implied employment contract, or misrepresent the job. * Objectivity requires the interviewer to be impartial and unbiased. Interviewers must evaluate a candidate based on the factors that predict future job performance. * Good recordkeeping supplies the information needed to compare different candidates and documents the screening process in case a rejected candidate challenges the hiring decision. Interview Types Interviews fall into two categories: structured and unstructured. OUHR recommends the use of structured interviews. Structured Interviews The interviewer approaches the interview with an organized and well-planned questioning method while always staying on task. Some interviewers will ask the interview questions in a specific order while others take a more relaxed approach, though still addressing all pre-planned questions. Structured interviews generally provide the interviewer with the information needed to make the hiring decision. All candidates are asked the same questions, rather than tailoring the questions to target a specific individual. Unstructured Interviews Unstructured interviews do not rely upon a prepared agenda. Instead, the candidate sets the pace of the interview....
