Textbook Project: Personality Applied to the Organization Assignment Instructions
Overview
Personality Applied to the Organization Assignment requires that you use the McGraw-Hill Connect site for Steps 1 and 2 (see below). You will find your access code within your Organizational Behavior textbook. If you purchased a used textbook, please review the syllabus on purchasing an access code to complete the assignment.
Note: If you did not purchase a new textbook, you may not be able to use the access code.
Instructions
Step 1
1. Under the “Learn” list in Canvas, there will be links which are required in its entirety for the assignment. All of the links amount to an overall assessment to deepen your personality applied to organizations. Please note that faculty can track your progress in the assessment. This assessment is much lengthier than the previous one, so be sure to take the time to access and take it, remembering to save as you go along. The assessment does not have to be taken in one sitting; you can save and pick up where you left off, but do not process the submit button until completely finished.
2. Note, that the assessment titles will not match the bullet points listed below for the required parts of your paper. The assessment has many embedded questions and it is up to you to critically analyze where the results are indicative for your paper. The results are evident from the Connect assessment to the bullet points listed, however it is not as narrowed down for you in Connect. Be sure to analyze the embedded questions for your results so you accurately place where you feel the scores should be in regards to the provided bullet points for the paper.
3. Because the assessment is synced with the course through Connect, the score will automatically show in the course gradebook. This will show a 0/0 score but the assessment points are included in the project paper grade. You should complete the assessment by
Wednesday in order to complete the paper on time. A paper cannot be accepted for grading unless the assessment has been completed.
4. Part I must discuss each of these points below from data gathered on the assessment. Please make the proper, current APA heading and title it: Personality Insights
1. Big Five with Myers-Briggs
1. Attitude and Core Values Insights
1. Motivation Insights
1. Decision Making/Problem Solving Insights
5. Part II must discuss each of these points below from data gathered on the assessment. Please make the proper, current APA heading and title it: Working with Others.
· Communication Competency and Listening Style
· Leadership Readiness and Team Insights
· Conflict Tendencies/Style
6. Part III must discuss each of these points below from data gathered on the assessment. Please make the proper, current APA heading and title it: Life in Organizations
· Organizational Politics
· Organizational Needs-Employee Satisfaction, Job Fit, Core Skills
· Organizational Change and Climate
7.
For each of the aforementioned parts, use the assessment results to write at least 1 full paragraph for each bullet point pertaining to the things you have learned about yourself. There is a lot to cover in each of these sections, so focus on the most significant things you have learned about yourself from each area. Use headings for each section, as in “Part I: Personality Insights,” etc. so that there are subheadings per the bulleted areas for each Part. Provide your statistical/percentage results for a comparison of letters within your discussion. Any adverse personal opinions on the assessment tools must be respectful and scholarly with supportive research.
Step 2
1. Now that you have learned these things about yourself, apply them to your workplace behavior and interactions with others and give specific examples.
2. In a new section in your paper (labeled Step 2), answer the following questions with specific correlation to the assessment. To do so, provide a separate paragraph for each of the following questions:
1. In general, what have you learned from these personality tests about organizational behavior that will help you be a better employee, coworker, and/or manager?
1.
In particular, what have you learned about yourself from this personality test that will help you be a better employee, coworker, and/or manager? Provide specific examples.
Step 3
1. The assessments help us label our strengths and their corresponding weaknesses, which was identified in Project 1. Therefore, it would be easy to simply accept the fact that we have weaknesses. After all, “No one is perfect,” we say. On the other hand, God through the Holy Spirit continues to conform us to the image of Jesus Christ.
For step 3, explain how the Holy Spirit has worked in your life to transform your weaknesses into strengths. See II Corinthians 12:7–10 as a scriptural example of this paradoxical truth. Be specific with your example(s) and faith integration.
NOTE: It is understood that not all of our students are Christians.
Formatting
1. Use proper, current APA format for every element of the paper. Be sure to include the APA-formatted cover page, abstract, and reference page. Refer to your APA manual for help. Since this is a graduate level course, students need to follow the professional version format and not the student version format.
2. First person is allowed due to the personal nature of the assignment.
3. To facilitate the Instructor’s grading of these assignments, you must have major headings for Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3. Additionally, under the major heading of Step 1, you must have subheadings for each separate section of the assessment: Personality Insights, Working with Others, and Life in Organizations. That means that you need 3 subheadings for Step 1.
4. The exact number of paragraphs that you include in each section is your decision; your Instructor will not be grading you on how many paragraphs you used per section, but rather the extent to which you specifically addressed each of the areas above.
5. The last section of the project needs to include a conclusion. The conclusion should be a well-rounded summary of the topics in the paper and should suggest a variety of opportunities for future use of topics/relevance/purpose.
6. The minimum of 6 required pages does not include the title page, abstract page, or reference page. Those must be counted as additional pages.
7. Be sure to double-space, using Times New Roman 12-point font only and 1-inch margins; avoid bold font (except for headlines, per current APA format), underlining, and contractions.
8. The reference page must include a
minimum of the 5 following references in current APA format (all scholarly sources must be evident within the paper and less than 5 years old):
·
Type Talk at Work
·
Organizational Behavior,
· The McGraw-Hill Connect assessment,
· 2 scholarly sources from a peer-reviewed journal,
Note: For further questions regarding current APA format, visit Liberty University’s Online Writing Center.
