Research Paper: In your paper, you will use the organization theory and organizational behavior literature to answer a question that interests you. The paper should be about 12 pages long (double-spaced, 12 pt. font, one-inch margins, Times New Roman font), not counting references.  References should be taken from google scholar with peer review  The purpose of the paper is for you to answer a question that’s relevant to the organizational theory/organizational behavior fields. These are huge fields, and so there are many relevant questions. One of my past students has, for example, asked the following question: Are privately run prisons more or less effective than publicly run prisons? Another example: Do performance pay systems work? That is, do they motivate employees to work harder (and better)?  Almost any question that has to do with organizational performance or individual work motivation and/or performance is fair game. And there are other non-performance related questions that would be acceptable—questions having to do with organizational structure, for instance. note: I already picked the question, I will add my first proposal to the files.

2020 a year that we will be happy to be over but one we will not forget. For most of us, living through a global pandemic, such asCovid -19, is a a first. It has brought challenges and opportunities, financial woes, but for some, financial gains. It has united families and torn them apart (over 250,000 Americans have died, almost 1,353,000 million world wide). Mental health issues, excessive alcohol use and weight gain have also been byproducts. 50 years from now you will be telling this story to your grandkids!

Read all the questions first. It’s all or nothing here. Answer each bullet point in a separate paragraph. Incomplete journals will not be given credit. Submit this by December 5th. What were your initial thoughts and feelings about Covid? Were you concerned? Skeptical? What are your feelings now? How has the virus disrupted your daily life? What are you missing? School, sports, competitions, extracurricular activities, social plans, vacations or anything else? What effect has this crisis had on your own mental and emotional health? What changes, big or small, are you noticing in the world around you? These should be good and bad. How have you and your family been impacted financially (or not)? How has your (or family) job changed? Are you spending more or less? Think of a person you are close to (for example, a family member, friend, teacher, or neighbor). How has your relationship to that person changed since the coronavirus outbreak began? How has it stayed the same? When we return to “normal,” what pre-COVID-19 parts of your life are you going to change? What do you miss the most from your life before COVID-19? What are you learning about yourself during this shift in life?
