Tesco could get employees do a survey every yearly which would give them the chance to express their views and opinions on almost every aspect of their job. The results from the survey could help Tesco make sure it is offering the right things to its staff to keep them motivated. Employees at Tesco want to be recognised when they are doing some well. This will help motivate them and they will also feel appreciated. It could be something as little as employers saying ‘Thank you’. BPP Learning Media, (2010)” Motivation is the process by which the behaviour of an individual is influenced by others, through their power to offer or withhold satisfaction of the individual’s needs and goals.” George n, root I (2012) states “Workplace...

...large number of interim staff which has been unsettling and has led to the organisation having a lack of direction and leadership. There is also a proposal to merge the organisation with a neighbouring hospital, which is unsettling for the workforce and the security of their jobs in the future. I manage a team of four members of staff who are all finance and senior finance assistants, the majority of whom have worked in the organisation for several years. This essay is about leadership styles in the workplace and the impact these have on the behaviour of members of staff, including a review my own preferred leadership style. In this task I have used my experiences with my team and the general management around me to apply and provide relevant examples of various leadership theories. 1. Describe the factors that will influence the choice of leadership styles or behaviours in workplace situations Under the Hersey-Blanchard Theory of Situational Leadership (Hersey and Blanchard, 1969) managers should aim to adapt their leadership style to the given situation. It is based on the amount of direction (task behaviour) and the amount of socio-emotional support (relationship behaviour) a leader is required to provide. The combination of these that should be used in a given situation is dependent on various factors that should influence the choice of style as follows:- * Learning level of member of staff: - the leadership style adapted to a given situation should take into account...

...events. Tajfel proposed that the groups e.g sporting teams which people belonged to were an important source of pride and self-esteem. Groups give us a sense of social identity. Social identity theory states that the in-group will discriminate against the out-group to enhance their self-image. Xenophobia is an example of this in sporting events, where crowds take to chanting offensive slurs to the other team’s supporters. An explanation for this is because humans are altruistic towards members of their own group but intolerant towards outsiders. This could have been the biological mechanism that helped our ancestors to survive, due to them being suspicious towards outsiders and thus prevented attack. Furthermore the evolutionary explanation of group displays of aggression states that in modern society, the winning teams hold high status, therefore will have access to more resources and makes the members more attractive mates. Acts of aggressions such as tackling in football are related to good psychical health, which is attractive to females. Therefore, people support the best teams. Victory in matches also holds status for the fans, as they identify as the in-group as an attempt to secure some of these traits and be attractive mates also. In an evolutionary sense, individuals would want to be a part of the best tribe for the best chances of survival. This is supported by Cialdini, who found that if a university football team did well, then students were more likely to wear clothes...

...the evolving world of organizational behaviour! Social networks and virtual teams are replacing committee meetings. Knowledge is replacing infrastructure. Values and self-leadership are replacing command-and-control management. Companies are looking for employees with emotional intelligence and team competencies, not just technical smarts. Diversity and globalization have become challenges as well as competitive opportunities for organizations. Co-workers aren’t down the hall; they’re at the other end of an Internet connection located somewhere else on the planet. Canadian Organizational Behaviour, Seventh Edition is written in the context of these emerging workplace realities. This edition explains how emotions guide employee motivation, attitudes, and decisions; how values have become important for guiding workplace behaviour; how self-concept influences employee motivation, team cohesion, leadership, and behaviour; and how appreciative inquiry has become an important strategy for changing organizations. This book also presents the new reality that organizational behaviour is not just for managers; it is relevant and useful to anyone who works in and around organizations. Canadian and Global orientation Canadian Organizational Behaviour, Seventh Edition is written by Canadians for Canadians. It includes several Canadian cases, is anchored by Canadian and global scholarship, and is filled with Canadian examples of organizational behaviour in practice. For example, you will...

Identify and describe the different types of organisation structures and the argument for and against the structures of Tarmac and enterprise. Understanding an organisation means understanding its culture (Open university, website) Organisation culture can be define as a group of specific elements, these elements are the foundation and roots of this specific group its beliefs, values, norms, language, symbols, effort, reward, rites, myths. These elements of Organisation culture can be classified according to (D Rollinson, Organisational Behaviour and analyses) as internal and external elements that have worked well to be considered valuable. based on his analyses; other disciplines may be involved such as anthropology, sociology and social psychology, his argument was based on the pattern of behaviours and ways that people do communicate and interact, so organisation’s culture are carried in people’s minds.

...to society. For Child, Criminology and Clinical you must know one contribution from each. For many of the approaches this can be therapies that are used for treating different behaviours. Social 1. Understanding Prejudice · Social approach helps us to understand why prejudice occurs. · SIT explains that prejudice occurs by simply belonging to a group– we belong to an in group and those not part of this are considered the out group. We categorise into these groups and identify with in group members by the beliefs we have and what we wear. In order to make our in group look good we display in group favouritism and show a preference for our in group and seeing their behaviours in a positive light. The behaviour of the out group we put down, and this boosts the in group self-esteem. · Realistic conflict theory suggests prejudice between groups occurs when there is competition for resources, and that it is not simply belonging to a group. This can explain why many groups can live alongside each other in harmony, which SIT cannot explain. · An example of SIT in action is football fans as they categorise themselves into teams e.g. either Man U or Chelsea and wear team colours e.g. red or blue. When these teams play they will call the fans of the rival team names to raise their own teams self-esteem. · Prejudice can account for a number of conflicts that have occurred in society and it is important that we understand why it occurs and how to reduce it to benefit...
