Question

Think about and identify three (3) measurable/observable work behaviors and/or measurable/observable work outcomes that would either need to be decreased or increased to help an organization succeed. Note that the three behaviors/work outcomes must be observable so they can be directly measured. In other words, they cannot be internal characteristics/personality traits (such as motivation or job satisfaction) that cannot be directly measured.

Next, along with each behavior/outcome you have listed you must list the name of each of the organizations you are thinking about and very briefly describe the type of activities/work that organization performs. (No more than two (2) sentences for this portion of the assignment). The business organization you are thinking of must have more than 30 employees of similar work status from whom information/data about the behaviors/outcome might be collected if your research proposal was actually conducted.

Note that if one of the organizations you indicated is related to the DV you are assigned to focus on in your proposal that you will need to later (not now) provide secondary/background information about that organization. Don’t worry… we will go over how to do this a little later in the semester.

Focus your list on management of employees: i.e., work behaviors and/or work outcomes that could potentially be measured through observation and/or through records of employee behaviors/outcomes kept by the company

Stay away from issues that may be under the control of the company but would not be affected by employees, such as -- budget issues, pay, marketing, competition, etc.

Stay away from dispositional issues that likely cannot be changed by a company, such as personality issues, including, but not limited to, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, openness to new experience, etc.

• In Column B you are to indicate whether the organization/business would benefit from an increase or decrease of each of the three behaviors/outcomes you have listed in Column A.

Finally, in Column C you should list each of the organizations you believe would benefit from the increase or decrease of each of the observable behaviors or outcomes and a very brief description of what that organization does.
