Motivating Your People

/in /by

There has been an increase in employee dissatisfaction in the company. Your supervisor has asked you to develop a plan to increase motivation for two employees in your department. You have surveyed the employees to learn more about what they value and what is important to them in the workplace.

Below are the lists of their workplace priorities. Items are listed in order, with the items at the top of the list being more important than the items further down on the list. You have also made a few notes based on your observations of their work history and performance.

Discuss the following points in a report (Microsoft Word) to your supervisor:

  1. Discuss the leadership style you have used with each employee. (Use the two leadership style articles in the readings.)
  2. From the readings, choose the theory of motivation that you feel would be most effective to use with each employee and explain your reasons.
  3. Describe how each of these employees would relate to that motivation theory. For example, if you used Maslow’s theory, on which level would you place each employee and why?
  4. Determine two ways that you might motivate each employee. Your existing budget does not allow you to offer raises, and there are no open positions above these employees’ positions at this time, so promotions would not be an option. Discuss your motivation ideas for each employee, and explain why you think your motivators would be effective.

The-2N5307-is-a-Darlington-transistor

/in /by

Connect a push button switch to P3.4 and an 8Ω speaker to P1.0 as shown below. The 2N5307 is a Darlington transistor pair which has a current gain of β > 2000 and its collector current can be up to 1.2 amps. If you output a square wave on P1.0 at frequency fo you will hear a tone on the speaker with a base frequency fo plus odd harmonic overtones. For this assignment write the assembly-code to output an A-note (about 440Hz) in response to the push button on P3.4. Your assembly code must contain a subroutine which does the software time delay and a macro which output a bit to P3.4.

Single Character Analysis

/in /by

Option #1: Single Character Analysis

Now that you have read the content from Chapters 3, 14, and 17 and
have also read two short stories focused on character development,
compose a Single Character Analysis that will serve as a single from
Chinua Achebe’s novel, Thing Fall Apart (TFA).

Your character analysis should include an introductory paragraph
where you note background information (title of work, author and
character you plan to analyze) and your thesis should include body
paragraphs to back-up your thesis. In these body paragraphs, you will
provide in-text analysis of the character of your choosing where you
formulate topic sentences tied to your thesis as you cite evidence and
then provide analysis.

When you think about quoting, or paraphrasing from another, you can
think of the process as similar to making a sandwich: note why you are
inserting the quote into your writing; and then, following the quote,
analyze why the quote works to further your thesis, or main idea. To
sandwich a quote properly you must:

  • Provide a statement introducing the quote (top slice of bread)
  • Insert your quote (something yummy from the deli)
  • Explanation of the quote (bottom slice of bread)

Use specific language from the following chapters in the body of your paper:

  • 14 (Character)
  • 17 (Style, Tone, and Language) when crafting your analysis.
  • 3 (Writing Special Kinds of Papers) – Writing a Character Analysis pgs. 51 to 54.

Be sure to address the “type” of character you are analyzing:

  • round
  • flat
  • dynamic
  • static

As you move on with your analysis note how the elements inform the development of the character you choose to analyze:

  • formal/informal diction
  • imagery
  • figures of speech

Be sure to address and analyze the following as you work to
provide a close reading and analysis of the character your are
describing:

  • How the character is motivated
  • How language and the style/tone work to provide evidence for your reading/analysis of the character.
  • How formal/informal diction, imagery, and figures of speech inform the make-up of the character

For a successful Critical Thinking Assignment:

  • Have a strong thesis statement.
  • Use specific textual support from the Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart in the body of your paper.
  • Proofread for errors in spelling, grammar, and writing mechanics. Vary sentence structure and sentence length to add interest.
  • Follow APA guidelines with regard to font style, size, margins, and spacing. For specific information, go to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA.
  • Use APA when citing the text; include a reference page citation at
    the end of the paper for the short story in the anthology. See the
    tutorial in Module 1 or consult CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (used for this class).
  • If you have questions about citing in APA, visit the University Writing Center. Additionally
    – you can schedule a writing consultation with a CSU-GC Writing
    Consultant by following the directions on the attached document.

eligibility-worker-for-a-subsidy-assistance-program

/in /by

Consider the following scenario:

You work as an eligibility worker for a subsidy assistance program helping clients who need assistance paying utility bills. Over the years you have noticed a lull in the work atmosphere where workers are becoming less engaging with the clients and seem to lack compassion for the clients and motivation for their work. You become aware of new service model that is being used in the eligibility services population and is showing promising results. The model is supported by evidenced-based practice. This new model offers a stronger connection with the client, with the client’s feeling a higher degree of validation and satisfaction with the services provided. Workers also report a decrease in workplace stress.

Given this information what will you say to your supervisor about this new model? How might you convince the supervisor to either allow you to attend a conference where this new approach is taught or arrange to have the conference brought to the agency? Be specific. Give examples.
