Saint leo PSY 338 Module 1 to 5 Discussion (2015)

Module 1 Discussion

Having read about psychology’s entrepreneurs and the marketing of industrial psychology,posta considered opinion of why psychology’s testing technology was widely accepted but scientific management was widely criticized. What differences existed between the two that resulted in their having different experiences? What was it about the zeitgeist of the timesthat resulted in these outcomes? If both were introduced (as brand new) to society tomorrow, would the outcome be any different? How would they be accepted if they were introduced tomorrow?

Post a well-considered paragraph outlining the relationship between morals, ethics, and laws. Use at least 2 academically credible sources, and cite them within (Wikipedia is not an academically credible source). Your textbook does not count as an academically credible source. Discuss at least one thing within corporate Americathat is currently legal, but you feel may be immoral, or one thing that is currently legal, but you feel is perfectly moral. Present your reasoning for why it is or is not moral.

Now that you’re a little bit familiar with the O*Net from Module 1, I want you to use it to get some information to help you to answer the following discussion question. You know that CEOs make a lot of money, and that they are an important component of organizational leadership. However, the recent economic downturn saw some organizations take government bailouts at taxpayer expense, lay off employees, and still give large bonuses to shareholders and/or CEOs. The question is: are they worth it? Look at the O*net profile for chief executives (Use those words in an occupation keyword search) to inform your answers to the following questions:

1. Are CEOs paid too much, or are they worth the high compensation packages they receive?
2. Is it ethical or fair that a CEO receives a bonus when employees are being laid off or having their benefits reduced?
3. Does high compensation for CEOs actually increase company performance? Remember, in your answers it must be obvious that you have gone to the O*Net (so, include some information from there in your answers).

Post a well-considered opinion of the BEST way to measure performance and the WORST way to measure performance. Your chapter outlined a great number of ways. Explain why you think the BEST is good, and why you think the WORST is bad. Cite at least one objectively verifiable FACT (a statistic is best) in your response. Do not use Wikipedia as the source for this. Do, however, cite your source in APA format. At the bottom of your post include the full reference citation, just as you would on the reference page of an APA-formatted paper.

Post a considered paragraph or two about the worst and best working environment you’ve been in: that is, the least satisfying environment and the most satisfying environment. Was the most satisfying necessarily the most motivating, and was the least satisfying also the least motivating? Think about it. Explain the environmental, behavioral, and other factors that contributed to your satisfaction or lack thereof in each environment. If you have never worked outside of the home, interview someone else who has and use their information (being certain to present it as such). Is there anything about YOU that makes you different from other people in terms of what motivates you and what satisfies you? Are they ALWAYS the same thing? Be sure to answer each and every question within your post, but be sure to have a smooth flow. (Do not just post questions and answers; we are not interested in your ability to make a bullet point list…that is a given.)
