Jennifer hired Colby and for six months they worked well together. Colby even referred to Jennifer’s group as a ‘real’ team. Then, Colby disagreed with Jennifer’s priorities at an important staff meeting. Jennifer reassured everyone that she welcomed different and opposing ideas and tension was avoided. Over the most recent two months, Colby has been increasingly critical of Jennifer – even making nasty comments when he thought Jennifer did not hear him. Jennifer decided to balance the situation by replacing Colby as project manager on a project that Colby wanted to manage. Colby confronted Jennifer and demanded to know why? Jennifer simply replied: “I replaced you because I can.” What source of power did Jennifer rely on to replace Colby?,

After a difficult mid-term exam, one classmate asks you to join them, and others, to request a ‘do over’ exam from the instructor. You decide to do this because you know that  ____________   ___________is a viable tactic of influence.

 Employees of the largest takeout restaurant in a small town are literally *eating* the profits. When an employee’s shift is 5 hours or more, the employee is allowed a food allowance. Most shifts however are 3 hours with no food allowance. So, some employees take food and drinks when the store manager is not on site and watching. Food waste is costly and reduces profitability. Food waste includes cut ingredients that are not sold and food orders that must be remade due to mistakes. Some ‘mistakes’ are eaten by employees as a self-managed food allowance.  Everyone knows that the store manager earns a bonus based on profit, and the manager’s bonus has been reduced each month for the past three months. The store manager needs a motivational strategy. Which approach to performance-based motivation can you recommend for the best opportunity to encourage employees to be concerned about profits?

At the City of Hillton – a large organization that you and your group analyzed as the term assignment – a different set of values is taking over from the long-standing culture of stability. It is correct to say that the emerging set of values, norms and assumptions: 

Supervisor Marc T. wants to allow his small group of 7 employees to leave early on a Friday because there is not much work to do. While chatting with the manager, Marc suggests this idea as a benefit that matches the organizational slogan: “Employees come first”. Marc’s manager replied: “Are you looking for a good review from employees? Because you are soft. Never give in to that sort of pressure from employees”. Marc attempts to explain further but the manager takes an incoming telephone call which interrupts their chat. Marc clearly sees: 

Everyone can enhance their power and influence by effectively using one or more contingencies of power. Recently, flight attendants walked off the job (strike action) and on August 2, all 494 of Westjet’s scheduled flights were cancelled that day. This situation is a good example of which contingency of power?  

Consider the ethical dilemma below (a real case). The parents–devout Catholics–would not agree with the hospital’s recommendation of immediate elective separation.Apply the four conditions/criteria of the double effect doctrine (DED) and discuss how the doctrine would likely evaluate the hospital’s recommendation—–A 34-year-old woman with no other children became pregnant. At four months, an ultrasound revealed conjoined twins. The physician ordered magnetic resonance imaging, which revealed significant problems with the pregnancy. The smaller of the twins was not expected to survive. The parents, because of their religious belief that “everyone has a right to life”, declined the option to abort/terminate the pregnancy. The pregnancy was allowed to continue for 42 weeks before delivery by cesarean section. The combined birth weight of the conjoined infants was 13.2 pounds. Both infants (we’ll call J and M) were immediately intubated. They were conjoined/linked at the pelvis with fused spines and spinal cords, and with four legs. J, the healthier of the two, had an anatomically normal brain, heart, lungs, and liver. She shared a common bladder and a common aorta with M. M was severely abnormal in three aspects: brain, heart, and lungs. She had a very poor “primitive” brain. Her heart was vastly enlarged, very dilated, and poorly functioning. There was a virtual absence of functional lung tissue. M was not capable of independent survival. She lived on borrowed time, all of which was borrowed from J.There were three medical options/choices available:No procedure to separate the twins (they would remain conjoined no matter what); physicians believed that death of both twins was certain, probably within 3–6 months or at best in a few yearsEmergency separation (= leaving the twins conjoined until a medical emergency involving one or both of them developed). Prognosis would be markedly reduced in the event of M’s death or cardiac arrest of J, with mortality projected at 60% for J, 100% for M.Immediate elective separation. In the hospital’s view, this would lead to M’s death but give J the opportunity of a “separate good quality life”. There was a 5%–6% chance of J’s death at separation. J would subsequently require several operations for bladder and genital repairs. She also had musculoskeletal abnormalities which would require future surgical intervention. Separation would allow J “to participate in normal life activities appropriate to her age and development.”⚠️ Reminder: This Learning Evaluation is a CLOSED-BOOK, CLOSED-NOTE, CLOSED-INTERNET.The use of any unauthorized aid is strictly prohibited.
