Help me study for my Management class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Influence Tactics and Sources of Power

For the Session Long Project this session you will be applying the concepts from the background materials to your own personal experiences in the workplace. You likely have experienced many if not all of the concepts at one point or another in your career, but you may not have been familiar with the precise terminology.

In preparation for the SLP, make sure you have a thorough grasp of the terminology from the background materials including the main sources of power and types of power tactics. Once you are comfortable with the terminology and concepts from the background materials, think of a manager that you worked with closely who held a fair amount of power at the organization you worked for. Then write a 2- to 3-page paper addressing each of the following questions. For each answer, make sure to cite at least one reference from the required background readings.

1. What were this manager’s main sources of power? Include a discussion of reward power, legitimate power, and expert power as well as other sources of power discussed in the background readings.
2. Discuss some influence tactics used by this manager. Include a discussion about whether or not this manager used the influence tactics discussed in Anderson (1998) and Luthans et al. (2015) from the background materials.
3. Did this manager make good use of their sources of power and influence tactics, or did they misuse or abuse their power?

SLP Assignment Expectations

• Follow the assignment instructions closely and follow all steps listed in the instructions.
• Stay focused on the precise assignment questions; don’t go off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background materials.
• Make sure to cite readings from the background materials page. Rely primarily on the required background readings as your sources of information.
• Include both a bibliography and in-text citations. See the Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper, including pages 11-14 on in-text citations.

Need help with my Statistics question – I’m studying for my class.

Using the data set in the attachement, use Excel to find the following descriptive statistics for the price data.

Descriptive statistics:

Mean

Median

Standard Deviation

Use these summary statistics to make two conclusions or observations about the typical vehicle in the sample. One conclusion must relate to the measure of center (mean/median) and one to the variability (standard deviation) of the vehicles.

Next, add an 11th vehicle to the data set. Choose a “supercar” that costs at least $1 million. Recalculate the summary statistics to include this vehicle.

Descriptive statistics:

Mean

Median

Standard Deviation

Which summary statistics were affected the most by the addition of this outlier? How were they changed, and were you surprised by the results? I encourage you to review the Week 2 descriptive statistics PDF at the bottom of the discussion forums. This will give you a step by step example on how to calculate these values using Excel. I DO NOT recommend doing this by hand. Let Excel do the heavy lifting for you.

Post should be a minimum of 200 words.

I’m working on a Psychology question and need guidance to help me study.

In this discussion illustrate not only your understanding, but also your mastery of the materials for the unit. Use your words wisely so that the posting has substance and includes examples and explanations. Limit the use of direct quotes, and do your best to critically synthesize and evaluate the literature in your own words whenever possible. Make sure to include in-text citations and a reference list as appropriate.

Looking at the historical and scientific tradition of I/O psychology in the first half of the 20th Century, share your understanding of motivation as an underpinning to psychological development. What role does the conscious and subconscious play in goal attainment? Describe the function of attitude in regards to work performance. How has data-driven theory building added to the development of the scientific bases of workplace motivation? Be sure to support your explanations with references to the research.

Next, using the Library or your current (or previous) textbooks, explain the field of I/O Psychology in regards to its seven primary areas of research. Which primary research areas are related to Industrial and which primary areas are related to Organizational? Explain which psychological theory about workplace motivation and attitudes most interests you. Briefly describe the theory (e.g., is it descriptive/empirical, qualitative/quantitative and field/laboratory), and evaluate how the theory you have selected influences or impacts the knowledge on workplace motivation. Describe the skills needed for your future work as an I/O Psychologist.

Include references also from: Latham, G. P. Work Motivation: History, Theory, Research, and Practice.

Each unit examination includes a written component. This assignment may be in the form of written questions or case study problems. The writing assignment affords the student an opportunity to demonstrate a level of subject mastery beyond the objective unit examinations, which reflects his/her ability to analyze, synthesize, evaluate and apply his/her knowledge. Writing assignments are judged on the quality of the response in regard to the question. Word count is NOT one of the criteria that is used in assigning points to writing assignments. However, students who are successful in earning the maximum number of points tend to submit writing assignments that fall in the following ranges:•Undergraduate courses: 350 – 500 words per question.

Citation StylesThe majority of your response should be your own original writing based on what you have learned from the textbook. However, students may also use outside materials if applicable. Be sure to provide a citation and a reference for any materials used, including the required textbook. The following points are designed to help you understand how to provide proper citations and references for your work:

Sources are listed in two places.

•The first, a citation, is briefly listed within your answer. This includes identifying information that directs the reader to your list of references at the end of your writing assignment.

•The second, a reference, is at the end of your work in the list of references section.

•All sources cited should follow APA style and provide enough identifying information so that the reader can access the original material.

Need help with my Writing question – I’m studying for my class.

1. Now that you’ve reviewed the lesson on sociological criticism, it is time to familiarize yourself with a few of the prominent theories in sociology. Read the article on social identity at the following site: SOCIAL IDENTITY THEORY

If the link doesn’t work, paste it into a new browser:

www.simplypsychology.org/social-identity-theory.ht…

After reviewing the details of Tajfel’s theory of social identity, answer the following questions. The first will demonstrate your understanding of the theory. The second and third questions will test your ability to apply the theory to our text.

1. Describe briefly the three mental processes we undergo when we evaluate those around us (answer found at the link).

2. Identify a few of the groups our protagonist identifies with. Don’t simply list them. Describe them. How does our protagonist interact with these groups? How do we know she wants to be a part of these groups?

3. Identify some of the groups our protagonist’s father wants to identify with. Describe the groups. How does the father interact with these groups? Are there any groups he fails to join or become a part of? How/Why?

Do your best to answer all the questions listed.

2. You folks have had a few opportunities to learn about the various lenses and apply them to our previous works, but you have yet to read a healthy dose of literary criticism relating to our texts. Now’s a good time to really hunker down and observe how much professionals put into their analyses of graphic novels.

Choose one of the following articles to read and answer the questions below.

Here’s the deal: the first article is complex, and reading/answering questions for article #1 will start you in the A range

The second article barely qualifies as literary criticism (it is more review/journalism). So completing that one will be easier, but will only get a top grade of B-

1.http://www.english.ufl.edu/imagetext/archives/v4_3/mitchell/

2.http://sequart.org/magazine/13273/comics-as-catharsis-alison-bechdel-fun-home/

The questions are the same, no matter which article you use. Answer them well.

Question #1: Well, it isn’t really a question. Summarize the article you read (be sure to identify which one you read in the title of your post as well). Five sentences minimum.

Question #2: What is the author’s central argument? (Do not tell me it is hard to say because so much is being said. Identify what you think the central argument is).

3. So you’ve applied theories to texts, but that’s all been canned to a degree, pre-packaged theories that work well with certain texts. Now it is time to start from scratch.

Research is characterized by bouts of trial and error. You find a book you like, but can’t find any theories or lenses that appear to apply. Sometimes you find a theory but you have a difficult time applying it to a text.

Well, in this case the book has already been selected (Fun Home). But now, you need to find a psychological theory and apply it to Fun Home.

You can’t use Id, Ego, and Superego.

You can’t use Erikson’s 8 psychosocial stages of development.

How do you find a psychological theory? Consider Google searching “Psychological Theories.” You should find plenty.

You could also conduct a more focused search. You know Fun Home deals with gender and sexual identity. So, with that in mind you could Google search “Psychological theories, gender” or “Psychological theories, sexual identity.”

HERE’S THE WRITTEN PORTION REQUIRED:

Tell us about the theory. Give us the name of the theory and the theorist who created it. Give us a brief explanation of what the theory means. THEN, tell us how it might be applied to Fun Home.
