Assignment

Can you think of an instance where you or someone you know was not committed to the organization, had poor job performance, or engaged in deviant behaviors on the job due to.

1) Low Job Satisfaction

2) Too much Stress

3) Low Motivation

4) MisTrust, Organizational inJustice, or Ethical problems

5) Poor Learning or Decision Making

6) Personality or Cultural issues

7) Low cognitive or social Ability

8) Teams that were poorly designed or couldn't function effectively

9) Poor Leadership

10) A harmful or inappropriate Organizational Culture

Now assume the role of a Human Resource (HR) Manager at this organization. It is your responsibility to inform an executive within the organization (CEO, business owner, unit supervisor, etc.) of the issue.

Write a clear and concise "email" to the executive summarizing the situation that occurred and the main factors that you think contributed to the problem.

Your write-up should be sent as an email to a company executive and address the following issues:

a) Give a brief background of the situation, based on the selected topic. Where did the situation occur? Who was involved? What other information would the executive need to know to understand the situation?

b) Discuss the event or situation in detail. Tell the executive what factors you think contributed to the problem. Was the problem resolved? How? Don't worry about looking into the upcoming chapters. Here, I am not looking for you to apply any theory or relevant concepts but rather for you to give your own account of what happened and why.

It is your responsibility to format the email in a manner that would be considered professional and appropriate in a business context (i.e., clear and concise, free from obvious spelling and grammatical errors, free from obscene or profane language, etc.).
