...is world-renowned for research and education in many fields. The campus is located in Westwood area of Los Angeles, and was founded in 1919, and currently has about 40,000 students, 26,000 administrative staff and 4,000 faculty (UCLA, n.d.). The Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior is an organization that researches a number of psychiatric and behavioral topics. The researchers come from all across the globe to work at UCLA and publish papers into prestigious journals, which hopefully might change the way diagnoses are made and treatments provided. Researchers also need to hire assistants and volunteers to help with the workload and get a project initiated and running, and eventually finished to analyze results. In addition to hiring assistants, researchers also need to hire employees that will fill out grant paperwork, handle finances and purchases, and set-up meetings as needed. If the researcher has many projects going on at the same time, this could be very stressful for the most capable employee, and could lead decrease in motivation and productivity, eventually leading to either leaving the job or getting fired. California is currently in a budget crisis, and public schools are getting less and less money from the state government to hire more employees. The employees that are present must be able to be as productive as two or three employees put together and have quality results. My role in this is a volunteer for a research project for 3 months. I was accepted...

...The topic that I chose for my organizational behavior project was managing stress and the work-life balance. I chose this topic after doing the wheel of life project in class. When I did that activity I was amazed to see how far off my work-life balance was. From what my ideal wheel of life looked like compared to my actual wheel of life they were way opposite from each other. There were some other students around me that had similar appearances but not quite as drastic as mine was. So after that activity I decided that I would look into other’s work-life balance and how they manage stress. To narrow my results I chose to look at others in the same profession that I am in, nursing. To research this topic I talked or interviewed other nurses including co-workers and other classmates, I handed out a brief five question survey and a wheel of life activity for them to fill out and return to me and I also used the text for ways to improve work-life balance and reduce stress. So after a staff meeting I handed out several surveys and spoke with about 8 co-workers. I received 24 surveys back and only about 7 wheel of life activities. The things that I spoke with the other nurses about were things such as; what causes stress, what relives their stress, how stress effects their lives, what could their employer do to lower stress, and does the employer offer them assistance already in creating a more balance in their work and life. The survey that was handed out had 5 questions on it...

The authors focus on the research field of organizational behavior and understanding attitudes and behaviors of individuals and groups within organizations with the goal of improving them and the way the function collectively. The section on stress analyzes the negative impacts that stress can exert on organizations and methods for managing it to minimize its effect. The foundation of the section revolves around the “transactional theory of stress” which explains how stress is perceived and how individuals respond to it, taking into account the effects of both work and non-work influences on the overall organization. Due to the high cost organizations are faced with associated with employee stress, the section analyzes different practices and methods that can be utilized to manage stress and eliminate issues that cause it. Additionally, a number of different companies and their stress management practiced are discussed as well as resources that can be used to aid organizations. This book is an excellent resource and reference tool for project managers as they face a unique set of challenges based upon the nature of projects and the functionality of project organizations. The stress section was particularly beneficial in describing...

...When asked what sparked my interest in the brain, I always have an answer: my brain. I have ADHD, a brain disorder that makes it hard for me to focus. ADHD has made me struggle through high school more than I would have otherwise. Reading takes three times longer than it does for someone without ADHD. Not interrupting people takes incredible willpower. Throughout high school, I have attempted to make the most of my disorder, but that doesn’t mean I’ve accepted it. Determined to excel despite this secret setback, I have strived to find solutions to overcome my ADHD. These solutions have shown up in unexpected places like in my school’s science project requirement, and I decided to take my projects a step further by competing in my county...

...University of Phoenix Material Research Plan As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will answer. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask, “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, remember that you need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question you genuinely want to know the answer to. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad (covering too much) or too narrow (covering too little). It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper. Part 1: Complete the Research Plan |What is your general topic or area of interest? |My general topic or area of interest is the medical disease diabetes. | | | | |What is it about your general topic that interests you? |The way it affects your health...

...a multi-project organization Eric Lorentzon Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Lund University, Faculty of Engineering SE-221 00 Lund, Sweden ------------------------------------------------- This article is based on a master thesis written in 2011 at Lund Institute of Technology in cooperation with a multi-project organization. The main purpose of this thesis was to seek understanding of what factors that affects the effectiveness in the project activities in a multi-project organization. The work is based on a case study at a multi-project organization. Background The things that characterize a multi-project organization are that several projects are always carried out simultaneously, the projects integrate with each other and they affect the environment around them. To get a deeper understanding of how the project staff in a multi-project organization are working and what affects the effectiveness when the projects are executed, I contacted a multi-project organization. The company in this study has two functional divisions called market and production. At the company the project managers are, together with project members from these two divisions, executing projects that are based on commissions from external clients. The employees only work with tasks that somehow are related to the project activities. The company continuously undertakes new projects and the work environment is very project intensive, which means that both the project managers...

...can be solved (Dierendonck, Garssen & Visser, 2005). Simply by recognize the cues and signs of burnout in its early stage; several burn out management strategies may be adequate to prevent the problem (Guglielmi &Tatrow, 1998). In the later stages of burnout, psychological improvement may takes more time and effort, but people can still recover their balance by reassessing their priorities, making time for themselves, and seeking for social support (Dierendonck, Schaufeli & Buunk, 1998). Furthermore, there are two main prevention management program that help people cope with burnout. The first one called personal growth program, which is a program based on people’ cognitive and behavior factors, aims at cognitive reformation, educational stress management, and recreation (Dierendonck, Garssen & Visser, 2005). These programs have primarily focused on reducing arousal (Aro, Naatanen & Nurmi, 2004). The second program called role of inequity and social support, which the main objective of this program was to reduce awareness of justice in the relationship with the organization and...

ISBN 978-0-692-00528-6 Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, Todd S. Ellenbecker, W. Ben Kibler TENNIS RECOVERY A Comprehensive Review of the Research A United States Tennis Association Sport Science Committee Project Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, PhD Todd S. Ellenbecker, DPT W. Ben Kibler, MD Introduction In the last two decades, physical training and competitive opportunities have increased dramatically in junior, collegiate and professional tennis. This arose due to a multitude of factors, but much of it has stemmed from an increase in knowledge and understanding of scientifically based training programs focused on improving performance. As this focus on performance has increased, the area of recovery has received relatively limited focus. Recovery is a multi-faceted paradigm focusing on recovery from training—session to session, day to day and week to week. Recovery is also vitally important during training as well as in competition between matches and between days during multi-day tournaments. As more information is needed in the area of tennis specific recovery, the Sport Science Committee of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) sponsored an extensive evidence-based...
