...Keith shoemaker Assignment for Chapter 4, 5, and 6 Module 2 Due Feb. 15th 1. Has this presentation challenged any assumptions I have had about China and the Chinese people? Explain. I have never really given any thought to different cultures being different in the way they do business. I suppose I will have to learn these nuances as time goes on. Because I never really had a clear predetermined idea of what other cultures did compared to mine, it wasn’t very surprising to me about China’s individualistic approach to business. I am surprised that the government accepts Chinas residents strive for individualism. I always thought that Chinese people were told what to do and how to act weather they were doing business or just living their lives. Because of Chinese residents of suppression for many generations I can see how they would be very aggressive with what they want in their personal lives as well as business. The incentive of being wealthy and going after what they need to do to make this happen does in fact surprise me. I assumed that Americans were the most aggressive. I believe this chapter has opened my eyes to other cultures and the way they do business. I liked the notion of Chinese business people don’t deliberate very long before they move ahead on a project. Here in the west we seem to analyze things too much. We study and research ideas and proposals so long that if we just moved ahead with an idea we would get much more accomplished. Another myth...

...The Impact of Job Characteristics on Social and Human Service Workers Reva I. Allen/Eric G. Lambert/Sudershan Pasupuleti/Terry Cluse-Tolar/Lois A. Ventura, Department of Social Work, University of Toledo 1 In many career fields, there is a tendency to try to find the right person for the job instead of trying to make the job right for the person. Koeske and Kirk (1995) wrote, “Social work administrators presume that there are certain characteristics of human service workers that predispose some of the workers to thrive in a particular job while workers with other characteristics are more likely to dislike the job or do poorly” (p. 15). Additionally, some administrators of social and human service agencies appear to be more concerned with the impact of workers on their agency than the impact of the organization on workers. “Blaming the employee” focuses the attention away from the real causes (Arches 1991). It is true that social and human service workers can and do have meaningful effects on their employing organizations. It is, however, naive to assume that employees are not affected by the organization. It is reasonable to assume that many employees who have negative or positive impacts on the employing organization do so because of how they were treated at work. The work environment has real and lasting effects on most employees. It is generally theorized that the work environment influences employees mainly through their attitudinal states, and these...

...How might organisational commitment impact on the behavior of employees in the work place? Would the impact be the same for all employees? Organizational commitment is the employee's psychological attachment to the organization. It predicts work variables such as turnover, organizational citizenship behavior, and job performance. Some of the factors such as role stress, empowerment, job insecurity and employability, and distribution of leadership have been shown to be connected to a worker's sense of organizational commitment. Organizational commitment can be contrasted with other work-related attitudes, such as job satisfaction, defined as an employee's feelings about their job, and organizational identification, defined as the degree to which an employee experiences a 'sense of oneness' with their organization. Organizational scientists have also developed many nuanced definitions of organizational commitment, and numerous scales to measure them. Exemplary of this work is Meyer and Allen's model of commitment, which was developed to integrate numerous definitions of commitment that had been proliferated in the literature. Meyer and Allen's model has also been critiqued because the model is not consistent with empirical findings. There has also been debate surrounding what Meyers and Allen's model was trying to achieve. Role Stress Dysfunctions in role performance have been associated with a large number of consequences, almost always negative, which affect the well being...

Organizational commitment and job satisfaction are very closely related to each other. Job satisfaction is defined “a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job and job experiences.” (Locke, 1976). Job satisfaction is one of the most measured variables by organization from every industry. The reason organizations pay large amounts of money to obtain this information is it helps to determine the state of moral of their employees. Another reason for knowing job satisfaction among employees is research has discovered a correlation between job satisfaction and other variables such as organizational commitment, life satisfaction, family satisfaction, and performance on the job. The first test convergence means that when there are two separate tests done on job satisfaction they must correlate highly with each other. The second test of discrimination means that the test needs to measure different variables. For example researchers may want to know how people view their world...

Zalabaket characterizes reliable trust as the positive desire workers have about hierarchical parts, encounters, and common reliance (Rukshani and Senthilnathan 2013). If employee think very positive about their work and always try to achieve their assigned goals with very hard work and accuracy, it means he have much trust and believe on the organization. Organization provides the confidence and shows the trust and value to employee for achieving their desired goals. Employee tries to fulfill the expectations of organization to prove the capabilities and trust that organization shows on him. So it is mutual dependency.
