For this discussion, please be sure to watch the Time Management video featuring SNHU Leaders: Time Management Also, review Chapter 2: Making the Most of Your Time. One of the most important success skills we lean on is our ability to manage time. It is a skill that we need in all aspects of our lives, and it is one that we must revisit frequently with any new addition or change to our schedules. In the end, we all get the same number of hours in a day, week, month, and so on. In the leadership video this week, SNHU president Paul LeBlanc explains the challenge of busy versus productive in attempting to be impactful or make a difference. Time management is, in a larger sense, priority management. And, as priorities change, we must continually adjust in order to remain impactful and effective in our personal lives, work, and school. The reading this week, “Making the Most of Your Time,” includes a multitude of strategies that can be implemented for success both in and out of the classroom. Taking into consideration both the video and reading for this week, work to address the following in your initial post: 1. When, where, or how are you most productive? How do you feel when you are productive versus busy? Is there a difference? Explain. 2. In contrast, we have all had times when we were really busy and yet, at the end of the day, we didn’t feel like we got anything accomplished. Consider the Time Management Matrix, the reading, and the leadership video you watched this week in regard to prioritizing tasks. How will you prioritize your personal, academic, and/or professional responsibilities in order to be productive in your role as a student? Explain. For example: Are there urgent, unimportant tasks you can move off your schedule? Please note: You can use this response to help you identify the black holes for your final project. 3. Both Paul LeBlanc and Greg Fowler were featured this week. What other message around time management from the video connected with you? Why? DISCUSSION 2 Review the case vignette “Glenda” uploaded below Assume that you are Glenda’s counselor and design a therapy plan for her. Which approach would you select: existential therapy or person-centered therapy? What are some of the benefits and shortcomings of using this approach? Please include in your answer some of the following “existential” terminology: relatedness, search for meaning, meaninglessness, loneness and isolation, engagement, “bad faith,” “givens of existence,” commitment, being in the world, existential anxiety, the will to meaning, restricted existence, the human condition, authenticity, self-awareness, existential guilt, existential vacuum, inauthentic existence, freedom and responsibility, I/Thou relationship, authorship, paradoxes of existence, courage to be, self-determination.

Recall the stages of the consulting cycle and where measurement would fall in the cycle.

/in /by

In order to select the most effective instrument for a specific assessment of job satisfaction, you must analyze the instruments and consider the factors they measure. Not all instruments will contain the set of work factors needed (e.g., pay, opportunities for promotion, environment) to adequately measure job satisfaction or facets of job satisfaction across all groups. Only a few of the instruments may meet reliability and construct validity criteria. Investigators measure constructs using reliable and valid instruments. A reliable instrument provides a consistent measurement every time it is used. For example, a standard 12-inch ruler is an example of a reliable instrument—it will always measure 12 inches. Even if the instrument is reliable, you still need to know whether it is valid. Validity is the idea that your instrument empirically measures what it is intended to measure.

Now consider what you know about measuring job satisfaction and what you have observed about the employees’ problems with job satisfaction at Walden Sports. For this Discussion you will select a suitable instrument to measure job satisfaction and describe the psychometric properties of the instrument.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Using the Learning Resources and Walden Library, search for an instrument to measure job satisfaction at Walden Sports.
  • Recall the stages of the consulting cycle and where measurement would fall in the cycle. Also consider the value of communicating to the client psychometric properties and how that explains the rationale for using an instrument in helping them solve organizational problems. You likely covered many aspects of the consulting cycle in a previous Walden learning experience; however, review Optional Resources for more information on the consulting cycle if necessary. (Some texts listed in Optional Resources you may have acquired in a previous course.)
  • Read the article “Moderating Role of Job Satisfaction on Turnover Intention and Burnout Among Workers in Primary Care Institutions: A Cross-Sectional Study.” Identify the model of testing job satisfaction, burnout, and turnover intention and the items and surveys used to do so.
  • Read the article “Measuring of Job Satisfaction: The Use of Quality of Work Life Factors.” Review the methods employed by the study to evaluate instrument and item selections.
  • Read the article “The Efficient Measurement of Job Satisfaction: Facet-Items Versus Facet Scales.” Consider the rationale when choosing facet items versus facet scales in measurement instruments.
  • Review the website Tests Reviewed in the Mental Measurements Yearbook Series. Identify potential instruments for measuring job attitudes.

By Day 3

Post a response to the following:  

Provide a description of the instrument you selected to measure job satisfaction of the employees at Walden Sports. Then, explain why this instrument is appropriate for measuring job satisfaction. Finally, provide an example item, taken from the instrument you selected to measure job satisfaction or another relevant instrument, one that you might use in a diagnostic survey. Then, describe the scale anchors used to score the instrument and the psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of the instrument. Finally, post how instrument selection fits in the consulting cycle stages and how it would be presented to the client. Keep in mind that your client might not be familiar with job satisfaction questionnaires or psychometric properties, so explain how you would address your audience in your presentation at this stage of consulting.

assumptions of attachment theory i

/in /by

ubmit a 1- to 2-page case write-up that addresses the following:

Summarize the assumptions of attachment theory in 2 to 3 sentences.
Identify the problem in your chosen case study to be worked on from an attachment theory perspective.
Explain how attachment theory defines and explains the cause of the problem in one to two sentences.
Develop two assessment questions that are guided by attachment theory that you would ask the client to understand how the stress or distress is affecting the client.
Discuss two interventions to address the problem. Remember, the theory should be driving the interventions. In other words, you would not identify systematic desensitization since this is not an intervention guided by attachment theory.
Formulate one self-reflective question that is influenced by attachment theory that you can ask yourself to gain greater empathy for what the client is experiencing.
Explain which outcomes you could measure to evaluate client progress based theory.
Be sure to:

Identify and correctly reference the case study you have chosen.
Use literature to support your claims.
Use APA formatting and style.
Remember to double-space your paper.

The introduction of new technologies has significantly affected the social lives of many. These changes, which reflect how people use technology to interact, provide an example of trends that you might examine in your Final Research Paper. For this discussion, identify a significant change that has occurred in the way people communicate and share information, and reflect on the impact this change has had on individuals and society in general today (local and global). Keep in mind that not all social trends affect all groups in society to the same degree. In addition, examine the influence of social media on an individual’s personal and professional pursuits.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
