Job Satisfaction

By Academic Wizard Blog

Attached are several articles related to job satisfaction, emotions, attitudes, motivation and behavior. You don’t have to use all of these articles, but you do have to go beyond the text. Your goal is to convince me you understand these relationships and that you could talk thoughtfully to an employee or to an organization leader about proactive interventions, concerns and potential resolutions. Use these articles as inspiration or a starting point to address the following prompts.

How is job satisfaction related to employee behavior and why do we care?,
What is the general state of job satisfaction and has it changed in the last 5 – 7 years? If so how and why? If not how is it the same? , Feel free to argue both sides but make sure you provide specific examples.,
Which of the dimensions we’ve discussed have the most impact on job satisfaction and behavior -why do you think that? You can use anything from these articles our text lectures supplemental material personal experience or any additional research you’ve done on your own just make sure you’re providing specific examples that led to your conclusion and references as appropriate.,
Most importantly what should employees know about these topics (3-5 things) and what should managers know about these topics (3-5 things). Spend most of your time and effort here. This is the important part.
Other than that, include anything else you found interesting, surprising or that you just want to share.

Advice for the unmotivated

happiness traps

manage your emoitional culture

Rethink your employee value proposition

Turn the job you want

Use additional resources as needed.

Formatting:

Using APA or MLA format (whichever you’re most familiar with)
Make sure you include an introduction and conclusion.
5-ish page double spaced paper. 4.75 pages is fine, so is 6. 10 pages is not ok; neither is 3. Cover pages and references don’t count as part of the requirement. Some of you will look at this assignment and think it is ridiculous to fit all of that information into 5-ish pages. You can, I promise, you just can’t include the history of the world. Pick and choose the most important points I should know. Think of this as practice – you’re keeping the attention of your audience. They don’t need to know every single think you know – just the important stuff.
12-point font, normal margins, no extra spaces between paragraphs to make it look longer, blah blah blah…
If you work with someone else, you should turn in a single document that flows like one paper. Don’t turn in two 2.5-page papers that you stuck together five minutes before the deadline. Make sure both names are on the document you turn in.
Upload a word.doc. Please don’t send me a GoogleDoc because I can’t open them, and it makes me grumpy.
All submissions are run through plagiarism and AI generation detectors immediately after you hit submit. If you think I’m going to have a problem with something you submit, it’s best to include a comment about what I’m going to find and why. Dealing with that stuff takes a ton of time that I’m guessing neither one of us have to spend.

Prevalence of Arthritis in The United States

By Academic Wizard Blog

The prevalence of arthritis in the United States is 1 in 100,000 children. However, 1 in 10 children in Lyme, Connecticut, developed arthritis between June and September 1973. Allen Steere, a rheumatologist at Yale University, investigated the cases in Lyme and found that 25% of the patients remembered having a skin rash during their arthritic episode and that the disease was treatable with penicillin. Steere concluded that this was a new infectious disease and did not have an environmental, genetic, or immunologic cause.

What was the factor that caused Steere to reach his conclusion?,
What is the disease?,
Why was the disease more prevalent between June and September?,

2) Newborn babies are tested for phenylketonuria (PKU), an inherited disease. Individuals with this disease are missing an enzyme to convert phenylalanine (Phe) to tyrosine; the resulting accumulation of Phe can cause mental retardation, brain damage, and seizures. The Guthrie test for PKU involves culturing Bacillus subtilis, which requires Phe to grow. The bacteria are grown on media with a drop of the baby’s blood.

What type of chemical is phenylalanine?,
What does “no growth” in the Guthrie test mean?,
Why must individuals with PKU avoid the sweetener aspartame?,
