/in /by

The Lab Project poses the question, “Is there a relationship between frequency of church attendance and the level of understanding of basic Christian doctrine?” For your first Discussion Board Forum, read the excerpt from Quarles (2011) in the Lab Project Excerpt document, located in the Reading & Study folder of this module/week. Then, respond to the following prompts:

  1. Summarize the excerpt in several sentences. Include in your summary a list of the main Christian doctrines that students are failing to understand.
  2. Think about the research question, “Is there a relationship between frequency of church attendance and the level of understanding of basic Christian doctrine?” In order to conduct a study, a psychologist must first establish the null and research hypotheses that will guide the research design and data analysis. (The types of hypotheses are reviewed in Module/Week 1.) Based on the given research question and your reading, state a null hypothesis and a research hypothesis (otherwise known as an alternative hypothesis) for the Lab Project.
  3. Share your thoughts; based on your own opinion, what do you predict the results of such a study might be?

Individual Job Redesign And Workplace Rewards Assessment

/in /by

The Job Redesign and Workplace Rewards Assessment is a two-part project that asks you to assess the current state of your workplace environment in regard to how it motivates—or fails to motivate—employees to affect increased job satisfaction and workplace productivity.

Part One:

Prepare a 1,750- to 2,100-word assessment focusing on a selected job or department in your company in regard to the system of goal-setting, performance evaluation, and workplace rewards that impact productivity, both positively and negatively,and job satisfaction, as related to the selected job or department. Address the following:

Identify the current major components, tasks, or responsibilities of the selected position. Does the job currently allow any self-management or sense of choice? Does the position cultivate a sense of intrinsic motivation?

Briefly discuss current company-wide rewards, such as bonus plans or profit-sharing, and one-to-one rewards, such praise or recognition. Examine and evaluate if these rewards are effective in motivating behavior for this position.

Identify how goals are used at your company with regardto the selected position. Be sure to consider what kinds of goals are set, how the goals are set, and if the goal system is effective for this position.

Part Two:

Prepare a 7- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation based on the evaluation conducted in Part One. Address the various ways a selected position or job could be redesignedto increase job satisfaction and productivity. The proposed modification can be made to the selected position or department itself or to the company’s broader system of goal-setting, performance evaluation, and workplace rewards. Be sure to include the following:

Explore the various job redesign approaches to revise the selected position.

Describe the major components, tasks, or responsibilities of the selected position after it has been redesigned.

What recommendations would you make to improve your company’s reward system with regard to this position?

What recommendations would you make to improve the goal system to increase productivity and job satisfaction for this redesigned position?

Recommend an implementation plan for bringing the redesigned position into the organization. Consider factors that might impact the intrinsic or extrinsic motivation of an employee.

Discuss self-care strategies that each team member uses. Include, where appropriate, self-care strategies in relation to personal, family, student, or work areas. Examples might include stress reduction or stress management techniques and methods used to avoid burnout.

Write a 750- to 1,050-word paper that addresses the following:

  • Compare your self-care strategies to those of your teammates. What are some similarities and differences?
  • Are there strategies shared by your teammates that are new to you and that you would like to incorporate into your own life?
  • In self-care, it is important to know what does not work for you just as much as what does work. Are there strategies teammates use you would never try? Why?
  • What knowledge have you picked up from your discussions that you could use to help clients?
  • Based on your discussion, develop a self-care strategy to reduce stress while working as a human services professional.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
