...Communication in the Workplace Regardless of the environment in which one works, communication is always vital and a key factor of success. Communication happens both physically and verbally and is absolutely essential if you want to inform someone about something. Communication has two main components, sending out a message to someone, and ensuring the message is received correctly to the other member of the conversation. It is therefore fair to say speaking and listening are vital to effective communication. I will talk about how effective communication is needed in my current position, as well as the future. Computer Science is the name of my degree choice. Once graduated, I intend on becoming an Information Technology Consultant. The position will be on a contract basis, meaning I will only be employed by a company for a period of time, until a certain project is finished. If my help is still needed within the organization, then an extension may be drawn. Otherwise I will move on and work with another organization. Although the role seems temporary, the pay will make up for this. The main thing that is carried forward is my experience. Alongside experience, my communication with the other members of the organization is extremely important, as a lot of jobs in this industry are promoted via ‘word of mouth’. If I am an effective communicator, I will be able to get a lot of recommendations and will be successful in the industry. If I am not an effective communicator then...

...Understanding the Management role to improve management performance 1.1 Describe the goals and objectives of your organisation Every organisation that wishes to accomplish something has to set both aims and objectives. An aim is an expression of a long term purpose or goal which should take the organisation forward and give direction. Goals are general in nature and are more about everything that may be accomplished on that journey rather than just about reaching the final desired distant point. Objectives are the series of steps needed to achieve the goal. Objectives are more specific and can be short or long term. To be effective objectives need to be SMART. * Specific - Say who, what where how * Measurable - Say when, how many * Attainable - Are something your group can do * Realistic - Capable of being achieved * Time-bound - Can get done within a time limit. (As cited in the ILM Booklet 1.) The two concepts of goals and objectives are separate but related. My interpretation of the relationship between goals and objectives is that goals without objectives can never be accomplished while objectives without goals will never get you to where you want to be. The Vision for the direction of the Comprehensive School is set out using a strategic approach in the School Improvement Plan (SIP). Although the terminology used within the plan does not use the terms ‘goals’ and ‘objectives’ the purpose is the same with strategic intentions ( or long...

...The role of a systems analyst is vital to the success of any organization. In this role, the systems analyst is responsible for being the “liaison” between the technology department and all other departments within the company (Laudon & Laudon, 2011, p. 68). There are several key skills and characteristics necessary to be an effective systems analyst. The person performing this role needs to have excellent communication skills, planning and organizational skills, and managerial skills.

A characteristic that would be demonstrated in this area is that of teamwork. The analyst has to put the needs of the company first and be able to interact with all types of people (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, n.d., p. 5). The position relies on the ability to solve problems within the business. Therefore, the analyst needs to have a clear understanding of how the business operates. By meeting with the various departments, the analyst is able to understand what problem exists and what options are available to resolve the problem (Laudon & Laudon, 2011, p.381).

...Positive human relations functions are the basis for leadership success. Success for positive interactions in human relations is based on strong communication skills (GCU, 2014). Employee human relations and organizational human relations are developed at work. Therefore, human relations can be defined as the study of human behavior at work and an effort to take action in operating situations in order to produce better results. However, the art and science of human relations was not formally dealt with until the second half of the 19th century. Workers’ needs were beginning to be addressed at that time. Development of the human relations theory happened in six stages. The stages are classical thinking, systematic development, teaching and practice, refinement, decline, and evolving (Razik & Swanson, 2010). Stage 1 or the Stage of Classical Thinking happened Pre-1930’s. This stage states that human behavior is determined by economic needs and goals. Incentives contribute to the necessities of life and replenishment in the workforce. It is also thought that human problems are what stand in the way of productivity (Razik & Swanson, 2010). In today’s schools, teachers are incentivized by higher wages and benefits. Additionally, teachers are sometimes paid stipends for work with students after hours. Stage 2 or Systematic Development took place between the years of 1930-1950. The majority of modern human relations theory and practice developed during this...

...Administration. In all school environments the importance of motivating a student to actually understand the course is the intended goal of all institutes. In this synopsis we will be looking at the independent and dependent variables described throughout the study. As well as the subjects used, how they were chosen and was the study valid and reliable. The idea to perform such a study was based on proving three hypotheses by reviewing what would be the better motivator to students, case versus lecture teaching. These hypotheses that were reviewed were: • “Case teaching develops the ability to reproduce knowledge learned skills better than lecture teaching. • Case teaching develops the ability to apply knowledge and learned skills to unknown problems better than lecture teaching. • Case teaching motivates students to learn managerial information more than lecture teaching does” (Bocker, 1987). The three hypotheses were developed to confirm that case teaching is better suited to teach students in a business administration degree than a lecture structure. In every experiment there is at least one independent variable and one dependent variable. An independent variable is what the researchers or experimenters change or enables in order to perform the analysis. A dependent variable is what the change effects or “what changes when the independent changes” (Cool-Science-Projects.com, 2011) Independent and dependent are the influence and result of the...

Systemic Renewal School and Community Perspective Safe Learning Environments A comprehensive violence prevention plan, including conflict resolution, must deal with potential violence as well as crisis management. A safe learning environment provides daily experiences, at all grade levels, that enhance positive social attitudes and effective interpersonal skills in all students. What Is A Safe Learning Environment? It is difficult to create a balance between a safe school and a welcoming, caring environment. It is important to create a school climate that does not tolerate bullying, intimidation, and terrorism. Students who are afraid often stay away from school. A safe learning environment is focused on academic achievement, maintaining high standards, fostering positive relationships between staff and students, and encouraging parental and community involvement. Resolving conflict and preventing violence are important factors in creating a safe learning environment. Students respond to conflict by confronting it, usually in a violent manner, or avoiding it. Neither of these responses helps...

...The Classical (Structural) Organizational Theory was introduced in the early 1900s, with an emphasis on the efficiency of the work process. Within this theory there are three schools of thought that include scientific management, bureaucratic management, and administrative management. Scientific Management looks at the best way to perform a job. Frederick Taylor is credited for the development of this principal. Taylor’s approach emphasized increasing productivity by focusing on the efficiency of the production process. Taylor believed that the only way to expand productivity was to raise the efficiency of the workers. He believed that doing this would create more work for more workers and increase production while shortening hours for workers. His theory states that jobs should be designed so that each worker has a well-specified, well-controlled task and specific procedures and methods for those jobs have to be strictly followed (Shafritz & Ott, 2001). This approach would keep workers mentally focused on the task at hand and eliminate the feeling of just putting in time. Production came first and works came second. Taylor developed four principals of scientific management: (1) discover the most efficient way to complete tasks, 2) designate workers to tasks which they are the most qualified to complete, 3) workers must be supervised and either rewarded or punished based on their performance, and 4) managements position consisted of planning and controlling (Shafritz &...
