Discussion – Week 9

Selecting Assessments

The Alexander Street Videos include many selections that cover specific issues, diagnoses, and treatments. Consider the population that you hope to work with as a counselor, such as at-risk youth, or people with anxiety. Use the Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) and the Alexander Street Videos (AVON in the Walden Library) to find out more about these topics and appropriate assessments.

To Prepare:

  • The Walden Library has licensed a collection of videos from publisher Alexander Street, which includes many relevant to counseling and therapy. To access these videos:
    • Access the Walden Library and select Databases A-Z on the home page.
    • Then select Academic Video Online (AVON)
    • The next screen is the home  page for Alexander Street Videos
  • Search for assessments on topics such as depression, suicide risk, and other topics. Find videos of assessments that correspond to these topics of interest. I chose depression in teens
  • As you review these videos, and through your search of the MMY, think about the population that you hope to work with as a counselor. Consider which assessments would be appropriate to use with this population.

By Day 3 of Week 9

Post your reflection. Also, describe:

  • The population you hope to work with as a future counselor (At-risk youth)

Select one of the following scenarios:

  • You are a professor at a local college. One of the students in your class is clearly distraught. You notice this and mention that you hope everything is okay. The student tells you that his wife recently left him and he is having difficulty coping with the situation. You talk to him for a few minutes, then leave for your office. At the next class, the student tells you how much he appreciated your concern. He states that he understands that you are a psychologist and asks for your card. The next day, he calls your office for an appointment to see you.
  • A client you are seeing has a house on the island of St. Thomas in the Caribbean. One day, during a particularly difficult session, the client suggests that you might enjoy a trip to St. Thomas and a stay at his villa on the ocean. You tell him that you do not have any time for a trip but thank him for his offer. The next week, the client states that he will not take “No” for an answer and tells you that on your next vacation, you must let him know so he can make certain that the villa is available.

Provide the names of the two Walden Sports employees you selected and explain how they differ in their commitment to the organization.

/in /by

Commitment is an attitude that correlates strongly with job satisfaction. In addition, commitment, like satisfaction, relates to turnover and other employee outcomes. Because there are patterns of commitment, organizations can use these data to take steps to increase employee commitment, thereby increasing positive employee behaviors and decreasing negative employee behaviors.

In this Discussion, you will analyze the level of employee commitment at Walden Sports using the Meyer-Allen three-component measure (affective, normative, and continuance) and analyze the consequences that can occur.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • View the video: “Organizational Commitment” (transcript is attached). Select two Walden Sports employees and consider how they differ in their commitment to the organization. Then consider positive and negative consequences of each employee’s organizational commitment.
  • Read the article “Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment and Job Involvement: The Mediating Role of Job Involvement.” Think about the antecedents and consequences of commitment, both positive and negative.
  • Read the article “The Mediating Role of Job Involvement Between Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment in a Small and Medium Sized Business Enterprise.” Reflect on the mediators and predictors of commitment.
  • Read the article “Affective Commitment as a Core Essence of Organizational Commitment.” Consider how affective commitment, or the emotional attachment to the organization, can influence commitment to an organization.
  • Read the article “Organizational Citizenship Behavior: Recent Trends and Developments.” Consider some of the positive and negative consequences of commitment and some of the conditions that mediate them.

By Day 3

Post a response to the following:  

Provide the names of the two Walden Sports employees you selected and explain how they differ in their commitment to the organization. In your analysis, explain how they differ or are similar on all three components of organizational commitment: affective, normative, and continuance or in other words, affection for the job, fear of loss and sense of obligation to stay. Finally, explain one potential positive consequence and one potential negative consequence of each employee’s organizational commitment.
