Mgmt-591 Organizational behavior 16th edition MGMT 591 – Leadership and Organizational Behavior Course Project Proposal Guidelines A Proposal: • • • precisely defines your research topic and the need for studying it—what is the organizational issue and OB topical area that requires attention and further study provides a research question to summarize the problem statement, however tentative it may be explains the sources critical to your proposed research, demonstrating that they are adequate for your project Proposal Organization: Your project proposal must include the following THREE labeled sections: Organization. Give the name of the organization and very briefly describe it. If you are focusing on one department in the organization - tell which one and describe it briefly. Be sure to include a description of your role in the organization. Set the context for the problem statement (why is this an issue worthy of study?). (15 POINTS) Problem Statement. Identify and clearly state the problem—the leadership / management issue1 in which an element of the identified organization is not meeting expectations. The problem statement is usually phrased in terms of questions considerably more focused than the subject of the paper. End this section by stating the problem in the form of a question. For example, if a work group is not performing effectively, an effective problem statement might be, "How can group performance be improved in Department X?" rather than simply "Poor group performance." (10 POINTS) Caution: Solving symptoms only masks the real problem. TCO. Which TCO or textbook topic is the central focus of your study. (5 POINTS) A well-formed problem statement has four main characteristics: 1. Unity – the problem statement articulates a single controlling idea. The idea may be complex and have several parts, but it should be one idea nevertheless. 2. Focus – the problem should be restricted and specific enough for the reader to gain a clear idea of the OB topical area and the direction of your study and research. 3. Structure – if the problem statement is sufficiently focused, it will provide a basis for decisions about which information to include and which to exclude from the paper. 1 The focus of your paper must be on a topic related to the course. No exceptions. With which Terminal Course Objective domain does your problem reside? 4. Interest – the problem statement should sharpen the reader’s interest in the OB topical area of deeper study. Here are some questions to help you frame your problem correctly: 1. What are your assumptions? 2. What problem are you solving?" Pretend you don't know, even if you think you do. 3. What are you trying to achieve? 4. What does life look like if this problem is solved? 5. What will you be doing when this problem goes away? (Focus on behaviors.) 6. What makes you think you have a problem? 7. It helps to ask, "Why," five times. (Sakichi Toyoda's 5 Whys technique"2) Note: No deviation from the project topic without instructor approval once the proposal is approved. Students who submit a final paper on a topic different from that which was approved in Week 3 will receive a zero for the assignment. Proposal Deadline: The proposal is due at the end of Week 3. Earlier submissions encouraged! TOPIC IDEAS These are only suggestions. The best project is one focused on improving conditions in one's own organization. 2 • Focusing on an employee productivity problem. • Investigating employee turnover in a department or division. • Determining why employee job satisfaction is low. • Applying job design theory to improving the motivating potential score in a functional or work process area. • Evaluating reward systems and their impact on performance. • Assess diversity in an organization and how it affects performance. • Appraising a manager’s motivation methods and how they influence performance. • Assess the decision-making process in organizations. • Concentrate on the communication process and how it affects the organization to achieve its goals. For more see http://asq.org/healthcare-use/why-quality/five-whys.html • Look at how power and politics is impacting an organizational unit in terms of achieving the firm’s goals. • Evaluate a leader’s leadership style and implications for performance and satisfaction. • Evaluate organizational group conflicts that inhibit achievement of important objectives. • Analyze a change effort in the organization. What went well? What went wrong? What should they have done? • Determine the best organizational culture-style (in the context of the OCI) to optimize corporate objectives. • Creating High Performance Organizations • Assessing an individual employee performance issue • Evaluating an organization’s design and structure and how it supports or does not support the firm’s strategy • Analyzing a team’s dynamics for the purpose of improving team performance • How to create a high performing team Class...I want to modify the deliverables for Week 5 of your class project. Ignore what is posted in the course and instead submit the following as your Week 5 expanded research proposal: 1. Expanded introduction to the organization. 2. Problem statement. Refine your problem statement. Avoid couching the problem as a disguised solution (you have not done the research yet). End this section with a problem statement framed in the form of a question. 3. Begin to present some initial literature review related to the problem you are studying. [Note: Analysis of the problem cannot begin until you've done two things: 1) identified the problem, and 2) explored the literature to help you understand the issues and research related to the problem. Literature search tips and techniques: See--> http://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2016/09/literature-search-tips.aspx 4. Document at least three initial scholarly sources (5 points). Reminder: ✓ APA format required for citations and references ✓ Use subheadings to define each element of the assignment. NOTE: This is the grading rubric that will be used to assess your submission. Before you submit your work, check the grading rubric to ensure you covered all deliverables. If you miss sections, there will be no redo's.
