HR Performance Issues and Motivation

I’m studying for my Business class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

The relationship between the organization and its members can be greatly influenced by what motivates individuals to work. The style of leadership, job design, resources on the job, and environment can all have a significant effect on the satisfaction of employees and their performance. Performance is also influenced by individual motivations (e.g., social, recognition, financial reward, personal growth and development, and/or intrinsic satisfaction) and can equally impact the organization. There are many theories that attempt to explain the nature of motivation. Write a four- to five-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages) evaluating the relationship between motivation, job satisfaction, and work performance. Be sure to address the following:

  1. Describe a performance issue which resulted from a motivational problem (what, why, who).
  2. Use a content theory of motivation (e.g., Maslow, Alderfer, Herzberg, or McClelland) or a process theory (i.e., Adams, Locke, or Heider and Kelley) to explain how the issue creates a performance problem for the organization.
  3. Use the theory of motivation you selected to describe an intervention/action to change the motivation/behavior and correct the performance problem.

Your paper must use a minimum of three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook. Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Resume writing

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

I’m retiring from the army after 22 years of service. As for my jobs I was an Air traffic Controller as well as Medical Logistics/Supply Manager. I am looking for a job in Supply Chain or Airport Operations or any Management position. Below are the requirements for a corporate program i’m applying for. I need a resume 2 pages max as well as a cover letter for the Hiring Our Heroes foundation.

*Cover letter – addressed to Elizibeth Johnson that shares more about why you want to be a part of this program. I have half the resume work done but it needs work that I can send after acceptance.

Format

  • No more than 1-2 pages
  • Use .5 to 1 inch margins – otherwise it looks like you’re overcompensating
  • Use a classic black font, such as Garamond, in size 11 or 12.Check out this article on the best and worst fonts to use on your resume.
  • Don’t get fancy.Applicant Tracking Software can’t process complicated tables, special characters, crazy colors, or goofy doodads.
  • Do NOT include an objective statement. They are passé.
  • Do NOT include “references available upon request.”This is assumed.
  • Current Position = Present Tense, Past positions = Past TenseIn your current positon you manage, develop, and forecast, in your former positions you managed, developed and forecasted.
  • Your resume should have 5 basic sections in the following order: Header, Professional Summary, Summary of Skill/Qualifications (bulleted), Experience, and Education.
  • Name in 16 or 18 bold, the rest in size 11 or 12 plain (consistent with rest of resume)
  • Do not include your full address.Instead list the city where you want to work
  • Include name, city, phone number, appropriate civilian email address, and LinkedIn URL (make sure you’ve shortened it).

Header

Summary of Qualifications

BLUF: Tell people about your awesomeness

Employers already know you want a job in xyz, so there is no need to tell them (and waste space) on your resume stating “I am seeking a new position in xyz.” Instead, give them a brief professional summary of your experience, skills, and knowledge. Make them want to read more about you.This is the most important section of your resume as it will determine whether the reader keeps reading.Take out the fluff!

Skills/Qualifications Summary

  • They should be bullets.
  • Be wary of soft-skills.
  • This is a great place to include certifications and technical skills.
  • These will change for each and every job for which you apply.

Professional Experience

  • Combine your military experience into one big chunk and don’t worry about whether you did a specific task in your second year of the Army or in your seventh.
  • Remove unit names and locations – you’re wasting real estate!
  • Use 3-5 actionable bullet points under each subsection (the so-what affect)
  • Use ACTION words at the beginning of a bullet that connote ownership of a task.For example, words like Lead, Managed, Designed, Responsible for, Implemented, etc.See list of action words for more ideas if you’re at a loss for words.
  • Use quantifiable data to demonstrate how you achieved the mission
  • Include the name of the university, the name/type of the degree, and the years attended or graduated.
  • Include volunteer service at the very bottom, especially if volunteerism is relevant to the company’s mission statement/values
  • Do not include a bunch of random military awards or irrelevant certifications.
  • Do not just copy your OERs/NCOERs.
  • Always send your resume as a PDF and with a professional file name.
  • Have several others trusted friends and mentors proofread your resume for you.
  • Create a master resume with tons of bullets that you can then tailor to each individual job description.
  • Make sure you are checking your resume against each job description in www.jobscan.co

Instead of just listing your duties, tell your interviewer what you did and the results you achieved. I was taught that this is called the “so-what affect”. If you can read your bullet point and say “so what?” after it, you’re not doing it right.

“Identified contracts with unliquidated obligations”….SO WHAT? Let’s try that again.

“Researched funding issues to identify contracts with unliquidated obligations, avoiding $2 million dollars in wasted funds.”

If it’s not 100% obvious to the people w

Do your bullets follow the CAR format: Challenge, Action, Result?Does your bullet answer the “so what?”Most people leave the “result” off their bullet.If your accomplishment can be described with a number, quantify it. For example, change “negotiated contracts” to “surpassed overall profit goals by 24% on all negotiated contracts”…sounds better, eh?

Seizures and Epilepsy

I’m stuck on a Health & Medical question and need an explanation.

3 references

Discussion 2: Seizures and Epilepsy

Children and adolescents are diagnosed with epilepsy after experiencing two or more seizures that are not attributed to high fever or low blood sugar. There are several types of seizures that children and adolescents may have, and some types are extremely difficult to recognize. During generalized seizures, children and adolescents may be convulsing, involving muscle spasms, and/or jerking movements. However, if children and adolescents experience non-convulsive or petit mal seizures, they may stare blankly with little awareness of surroundings. Non-epileptic seizures are different from epileptic seizures in that while they look like seizures, they do not have any abnormal brain activity (National Institutes of Health, 2004).

It would be ideal if children and adolescents with epilepsy or non-epileptic seizures could take medications to control their seizures without experiencing side effects. Unfortunately, there is no magic pill that delivers perfect results. While dozens of medications may be effective in controlling seizures, most patients experience side effects, such as fatigue, dizziness, and impaired cognitive function (Schachter, 2006). For some children and adolescents, these side effects are minimal, but for others, they can have a more significant impact. The side effects from the medication and the symptoms of the seizures can interfere with children and adolescents’ social acceptance and self-esteem levels. It is imperative for parents and guardians, health care providers, and children and adolescents to find the right balance in medication dosage levels; however, it can be difficult (Epilepsy Foundation Western/Central Pennsylvania, 2003). Often, as part of their developing autonomy, adolescents want to participate in the decision-making process regarding their medications.

For this Discussion, students whose last names begin with A–M should review Scenario #1 (Bobby). Students whose last names begin with N–Z should review Scenario #2 (Jake). Consider strategies and interventions that might be most effective in your assigned scenario.

Scenario 1 – Bobby is an eighth grader in middle school. During lunch, he drops his tray, falls to the ground, and has a grand mal seizure. Many students in the cafeteria surround him. Some were afraid while others laughed. Bobby was taken to the hospital by ambulance. He did not return to school the next day because he was embarrassed by his seizure. When he returned two days later, some students were concerned about his health, but mostly he was greeted by jokes and teasing. Because of the seizure, Bobby was no longer allowed to play football for the rest of the season.

Scenario 2 – Jake is a 16-year-old junior in high school and is experiencing side effects from his seizure medication, including poor attention, decreased motor skills, lack of motivation, low energy levels, and decreased mood. Because these impairments have affected his academic success and kept him from obtaining a driver’s license, he would like to stop taking his medications so that he can feel “normal.” As Jake is only 16, he needs parent or guardian approval to discontinue medication use.

With these thoughts in mind:

Scenario 1 – Post by Day 4 a description of an intervention you might suggest to the school and to the family to support Bobby with his epilepsy. Then, explain why the intervention you selected might be effective to support Bobby in dealing with embarrassment, bullying, and his removal from the football team. Justify your response with the Learning Resources and current literature.

Scenario 2 – Post by Day 4 whether you would advocate for Jake stopping his medication and explain why. Then explain strategies the family might employ to include Jake in the decision-making process. Support your response with the Learning Resources and current literature.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.
