...GT500 Note to Student enrolled in MGT5000: S3 2011 Please note that this is just an example of an assignment based on the assessment in a previous semester. The task is therefore quite different to your assignment this semester. For example, this semester you have been asked to analyse a case study provided to you. Last semester students had to write their own scenario and analyse specific OB issues. The word count for each section also differs from the requirements this semester. However, the assignment will give you a good idea of the following: what critical analysis looks like, how to present your recommendations in table format and how your list of references should be presented (the Harvard Referencing system available on the USQ library site).

Work related attitudes are thought of as an important measure of tendencies that an employee may have towards: another person, event, product or process (Marr 2002). The most commonly analysed attitudes at work are: Job satisfaction and organisational commitment. Job satisfaction being the degree to which individuals feel positively or negatively about their work (Wood et al 2013) and can be thought of as an emotional state resulting from a self evaluation of job experiences (Locke 1976) Organisational commitment is the sharing of beliefs and values of an organisation (Meyer & Allen 1991). Hulin (1991) noted considerable overlap between the two attitudes: job satisfaction and organisational commitment, the only difference being their targets, the target of job satisfaction being the satisfaction of one position and the target of organisation commitment being the organisations success (Hulin 1991) In the “Geeks of Chic’ case study there are many work attitudes displayed which indicate different levels of job satisfaction and organisational commitment. Organisational change through the amalgamation, downsizing, remuneration, promotion and hiring processes has been the contributing factor to the varying attitudes and commitment. The local government team is made of 6 people the leader:...
