According to your textbook, health care makes up approximately 15% of the U.S. economy. As such, in your career as an I/O Psychologist, you are likely to be called on to work in or consult with a healthcare organization at some point in time. Yet healthcare organizations differ from other organizations in various ways. To be effective in your work as an I/O Psychologist, you need to understand these differences that pertain to healthcare organizations.

Below is a list of features unique to healthcare organizations, taken from your textbook, Chapter 23, “Consulting with Healthcare Organizations.”

  • Most licensed healthcare providers are loyal to their profession more than to their company
  • There are many different subcultures within one healthcare organization, based on the different professional identities of the healthcare providers
  • Healthcare organizations tend to be conflict-avoidant, preferring to maintain collegiality instead
  • Formal authority does not accomplish results in healthcare organizations; informal influence among peers works better
  • Healthcare organizations tend to be reactive and flourish on crisis
  • Healthcare providers tend to be humanistic and client-centered, focusing on the health and well-being of patients rather than on bottom-lines or company rules

Choose two of the above factors,

Then choose one of the situations below and explain how the 2 factors you chose would affect how you, as a Consulting Psychologist in a healthcare organization, would address this situation(s) during your I/O work.

  • Assessing a candidate for an administrative leadership position
  • Training employees for emotional intelligence in the healthcare organization
  • The ability to use a performance management method, such as Six Sigma, in a healthcare organization
  • The choice of Servant Leadership as a leadership model in a healthcare organization

Explain, with as much visual information as possible, the client’s cognitive or behavioral symptoms based on your selected theoretical orientation.

/in /by

Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, please review Cases 18, 19, and 20 in Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology (Gorenstein & Comer 2015) and any relevant Instructor Guidance.

In practice, clinical and counseling psychologists utilize psychoeducational tools (e.g., bibliotherapy, client handouts, worksheets, etc.) to enhance the client’s knowledge about mental health issues, coping strategies, and resources.

For this interactive assignment, you will create a visually interesting client handout based on the case study chosen for the Psychiatric Diagnosis assignment in PSY645 and your Week Six Psychological Treatment Plan in this course. You must attach your client handout document to your initial post in the forum.

The client handout will include the following required elements.

Education: Explain, with as much visual information as possible, the client’s cognitive or behavioral symptoms based on your selected theoretical orientation. You may choose to create diagrams, figures, or charts to illustrate the relationship between the client’s cognitions, affect, and behavior.

Intervention: Create a self-help exercise (e.g., a dysfunctional thought record, meditation, deep breathing, guided imagery, muscle relaxation, thought stopping, etc.) to assist the client in monitoring or reducing maladaptive cognitions, affect, and/or behavior outside of therapeutic sessions. Include an explanation about how the handout could be useful in reducing the client’s symptoms. You may choose to visually represent this exercise with charts, scripts, steps, or other media.

Resources: Assess current trends in psychotherapy, and list complete APA reference entries for five sources that would help the client learn more about his or her presenting problem(s), early warning signs of relapse, and managing symptoms. Please include hyperlinks if such exist for your resources.

Assignment 1: Job Characteristics Model

The job characteristics model, designed by Hackman and Oldham, is based on the idea that the task itself is key to employee motivation.

  • Identify a job you know well and provide a brief summary of what the job entails (what are the daily work activities).
  • Analyze the job using the Job Characteristics Model. You must use all the five core job characteristics.
  • Discuss the finding. Include the “score” for each core job characteristic and discuss the related critical psychological states and personal/work outcomes.
  • Suggest additional actions that might be taken to improve the motivating potential score of the job.
