...Work Culture Preference Maria Hernandez MGT/521 February 27, 2013 Dr. Vela Work Culture Preference The following describes ideal work culture and how it is essential for developing strategic and operational plans to achieve organizational goals. “Each of us has a unique personality – traits and characteristics that influence the way we act and interact with others” (Robbins & Coulter, 2012, p. 51). These personal traits and characteristics when matched up with the values and competencies of the work environment make easier to achieve company goals. One can find the ideal work culture based on one’s values by completing an evaluation, such as the Career Plan Building Activity: Work Culture Preference. Ideal Work Culture For instance an ideal work culture may include high powered, expert, and ethical environments. High-powered organizations have demanding jobs, career development, and the chance to try different jobs or work in different places. One with these preferences would need to find a culture that not only promotes the above but also one that motivates the employee to obtain career advancement. When an employee does not have opportunities for advancement his or her motivation will decline. In an expert culture this includes varied and groundbreaking work, high emphasis on specialist expertise, people encouraged to express opinions, innovative, creative atmosphere, control work schedule and organization, and a dynamic and changing environment...

...Week 4 Career Plan: Culture Preferences After completing the “Work Culture” preferences, I was not surprised by the results. It stated that I like working with a team of close knit people who are independent and supportive, having great ideas and being the “go to person” is my strong point because I enjoy being in control of my schedule and assignments. It also stated that I need a comfortable place to work that is safe and has all of the necessary resources to do my job. In general this description fits who I think I am as an employee as well as a leader. Completion of the Career Interest Profiler and the Competencies exercise was helpful in my search to determine what I needed to work on. Career interest profiler simplifies what career would be best suited for you by how you answer the questions asked. Within the competencies, I found that I have a lot of strength in team building.

...Career Plan Reflection The Career Plan Building exercises revealed to me the kind of work that I would best excel at based on my career interest profiler, competencies, work culture preferences, and reasoning aptitude activities. My career interest profiler told me that I am enterprising, artistic, and realistic. Enterprising occupations involve leading people and making many decisions. Artistic occupations require self-expression and can be done without following a clear set of rules. Realistic jobs involve work activities that include practical, hands-on problems and solutions. I agreed with being enterprising and realistic because during my military career I had to lead soldiers and come up with solutions to all kinds of problems. I neither agree nor disagree with being artistic because I like to express myself but I also like having a clear set of rules to work with. My competencies strengths all leveled out at 3 out of 5 bars. The competencies that were chosen for me were innovating, applying expertise, taking initiative, adapting to change, coping with pressure, and entrepreneurial thinking. These competencies tell me that I am good at producing new ideas, handling criticism well and learning from it, and I like to initiate activities and introduce change into the work process. My work culture preferences results were jobs that are high powered, supportive, and well-resourced. High powered jobs are demanding jobs with the chance to try different jobs or work in different...

...Career Plan Reflection Mabi Verduzco BCOM 275 October 23, 2014 Linda Doyle Career Plan Reflection The career plan building activities proved to be a very useful tool. The work culture preference survey results indicated the type of work culture that I prefer, which is high-powered, competitive, and leadership intensive. The competencies, reasoning aptitude, and career interest profiler surveys provided additional information to consider. The combined results provide an interpretation of the type of work culture that I see as ideal, the most suitable career fields, and the types of work environments I prefer. I am open to new information and ideas and the survey results did not seem to be too far off from what I would consider to be my true career goals and desires. I think the surveys provided insight to aspects of my career I had not given much thought to before this course. This course (BCOM/275) discussed many important aspects of communication verbal and nonverbal, cross-cultural communication, and barriers to effective communication to name a few. One aspect in the forefront of my mind is communication also takes place within different contexts like physical, chronological, and functional, to name a few, but the cultural context (corporate culture) applies directly to the surveys and results discussed earlier. Choosing the proper job that corresponds with my interests and ideal work culture can lead to more personal satisfaction. BCOM/275 provides ideas about proper...
