TASK

The purpose of this assignment is to complete critical reflective blogs for four OB topics covered in the subject. The aim of this assignment is to enable you to highlight thoughts on each topic as well as demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered in this subject.

In this assessment, you have to reflect on four OB topics of your choice. You can choose from the following topics:

• Topic 4: Getting the right people

• Topic 5: Work and job performance and conditions

• Topic 6: Assessing, influencing and rewarding performance

• Topic 7: Grouping individuals and behaviour; Organisational change; Organisational

culture

• Topic 8: Organisational processes and behaviour

• Topic 9: Leadership

• Topic 10: Organisational justice and employee wellbeing

A starting question for your reflection should be: What is the applicability and relevance of OB theory/model/concepts covered in the specific OB topic for me as a practitioner in my workplace? Discrepancies between the theory and practice should be explored, and implications for your workplace identified.

For students who may not have work experience, you may use newspapers or academic journal articles that discuss an OB trend/issue in an existing Australian or international organisation. Alternatively, you can do your own research on an organisation of your choice, and focus your reflection on the imagined influence this organisational context (in relation to the specific OB topic) would have on you.

The structure of the reflection blogs should follow the following four steps in order to enhance the analytical aspect of the reflection process and to ensure the benefits of this assignment for you and your development in the organisation:

1. Reflect on a workplace experience that is meaningful and important to you and your growth in the organisation (reflection should draw on your personal observations, experiences, assumptions and emotions).

2. Analyse the chosen situation by applying relevant OB concepts/theories/models from the relevant Topic.

3. Develop a strategy for managing own or other employee(s) behaviour with the purpose of addressing the workplace situation.

4. Explain what you have learned about the relevant OB topic/yourself/others in the workplace as a result of this reflection exercise.

Each reflection needs to be based on three recent scholarly articles. As this is a reflection where you are using your own experiences and views, your blogs should be written in first person.

A quality reflection shows deep critical analysis of workplace experiences through the application of OB theories/models/ concepts. It provides deep insights into the practitioner’s own practice. This is an opportunity to express your voice on workplace trends that are important to you.

RATIONALE

This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:

• be able to critically examine assumptions and propositions of theorising about

· organisational behaviour in general.

·be able to evaluate current organisation practice and to develop strategies that may assist in the understanding and management of employee behaviour.

The purpose of this assignment is to complete a critical reflective journal for four OB topics covered in the subject. The aim of this assignment is to enable you to highlight thoughts on each topic as well as demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered in this subject.

It’s easy to get smarter about your money when you have a head start. 

In this assignment, you will use Excel to create a household budget to help maintain control over your finances and see how your money is being used.

Conduct a short internet job search for the type of position you will be applying for once you have completed your education. Consider your work experience in this search. For example, if you have no experience in field, please search for entry level positions or the type of position someone with your background could reasonably qualify for. Look for three positions that include wage/salary information. Once you have found 3 job ads that include salary information, determine the average starting salary and use this as the basis for your household budget.Create an Excel spreadsheet of your own design to breakdown your household budget. List monthly expenses and monthly income. You will need to list your expenses for 12 months (so you should have columns for each month).  Remember your expenses are not always the same every month (for instance your electric bill could fluctuate based on how hot it is). Be sure to format the expenses and income as currency using one of the formatting options in Excel. Do NOT use an online template. The designs must be easy and logical to read.  You should start from a blank, clean, Excel document.

Requirements of the assignment

  • Title your spreadsheet with a meaningful title, in bold, at least 16 point size, centered above your spreadsheet content and is centered over more than 3 columns. Use “Merge & Center” provided in Excel. The rest of the document should be in 12 point font.  All data that represents money is formatted as currency.
  • Write your job title and the city and state you will live in
  • Include 3 job titles, locations, and starting salaries from the job search you performed.  Find the average starting salary (using the AVERAGE function) Calculate and label your monthly income by dividing the annual income cell (reference the cell) by 12. Please make sure that your salary realistically and accurately matches your skill set (for instance, you will not start an engineering job making 90,000 a year).
  • Include at least 8 expense items such as electricity, telephone, gas, groceries, rent/mortgage, car payment, student loan payments, credit card payments, entertainment allowance, clothing allowance, etc.
  • Make all negative numbers appear in red using automatic formatting or conditional formatting provided in Excel. Choosing RED as the choice for the font color is not correct. Apply this formatting to the entire worksheet.  You must have a negative somewhere in your calculations
  • For the following items, you MUST use an Excel function. You cannot calculate the values and enter a number. Excel functions include SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, MAX, etc. You must choose the correct Excel function and then use it properly to get full credit.
    • Using an Excel function, calculate the average of each type of expense category for the months you have listed. You must select the right function, such as SUM or AVERAGE, and then use the function correctly in the cell you have selected. Be sure to label the row or column (note this will depend on how you set up your budget sheet).
    • Calculate a subtotal for each expense category, using a function provided in Excel. You must select the right function, such as SUM or AVERAGE, and then use the function correctly in the cell you have selected. Be sure to label the row or column (note this will depend on how you set up your budget sheet).
    • Calculate a subtotal for each month, then a grand total of all the months, using functions provided in Excel. You must select the right function, such as SUM or AVERAGE, and then use the function correctly in the cell you have selected. Be sure to label the row or column (note this will depend on how you set up your budget sheet).
    • Calculate your monthly income after expenses. For each month, subtract the monthly expenses from the monthly income.  Use an absolute reference to reference the cell of the monthly income. You must select the right function, such as SUM or AVERAGE, and then use the function correctly in the cell you have selected. Be sure to label the row or column (note this will depend on how you set up your budget sheet).
  • Include a pie chart to display the breakdown of expenses. Use the expense categories you have listed and the monthly totals you have calculated to create your pie chart.  Put the pie chart on its own worksheet labeled “Chart”.  Please note, the chart values should be from the budget page of the worksheet.  Do not copy the values into the new worksheet.
  • Make sure your spreadsheet is clearly organized and well formatted. For example, no values should display as ##### so make sure your columns are of the correct width for the data.
  • Check your spelling
  • Create a footer displaying the filename.
  • Save your completed file with the filename formatted asExcel_Budget_yourfirstname_yourlastname.xls. An Excel document should be uploaded to D2L.

I have included two (2) example budgets for you to review, Budget Example 1, Budget Exampe 2.  These are from students from another section of this course.  These are meant to be guides and not exemplars. Please note, even though these are PDFs, you are expected to upload a XLS.

Compose a 500 words essay on Israel 2. Needs to be plagiarism free!

“In contrast to these sources which presuppose that the Omrides were strong rulers over an autonomous kingdom and in hostile relations with the Yahwistic prophets, the stories of the three battles with Ben-haded and the Elisha stories presuppose quite a different situation. Both of these narrative groups…depict the king or kings of Israel as international weaklings, bullied by the Syrian kings of Samaria.” (Miller and Hayes, 262) Therefore, as pointed out by Miller and Hayes, the sources relating to the Omride kings disagree over the political power of the Omrides. Similarly, the authors argue that there are significant conflicts in the sources relating to the Omride kings as the sources disagree over the sequence of Syrian kings during the period of the Omrides. The information about the sequence of Syrian kings during the period of the Omrides conflicts “with the biblical stories of the three battles with Ben-haded as well as with the Elisha stories, if one assumes that these two narrative groups are in proper context. That is, if the stories of the three battles with Ben-haded actually pertain to the last years of Ahab and the Elisha stories actually pertain to Jehoram’s reign, then we have a Ben-haded on the throne of Syria followed by Hazel rather than a Hadadezer followed by Hazel.” (Miller and Hayes, 263)

Miller and Hayes provide an important picture of Omri and Ahab in international politics/affairs in the famous book A History of Ancient Israel and Judah and they give convincing evidences to establish and support their picture. According to the authors, Israel reached the zenith of its glory during the rule of Omri and Ahab. The readers are not able to gather a great picture about Omri from the documents, although he is the earliest biblical characters to be mentioned in ancient non-biblical documents and also the first king

Homework Assignment # 3Assessing the Nutritional Environment with CounterToolsIn this assignment you will learn methods and strategies for assessing the Nutritional environment in the UHF neighborhood where you live or were assigned. Again as with HW #2, you will choose your own UHF neighborhood area as the subject of this exercise.  For this assignment you will choose a Grocery Store, Bodega, or Superette (small supermarket), within your local neighborhood as your subject of inquiry.  After you’ve identified a suitable Store to audit, please print out a Google Maps and identify the Store in your neighborhood to help you navigate you way to it. Next download and print out the Grocery Store Survey Tool in the HW Assignment in Canvas and Carefully Review the items that you will be collected data Before you venture into the field to do your survey.  We will also review in class, in order to address any issues, questions. After you have conducted your CounterStores assessment of your chosen Store you should submit the following with this HW assignment: Locate your chosen Store on Google Maps and print out a copy of the map and identify your Store, along the surrounding streetscape.  Include the Names, Address, Hours of OperationInclude an original hand written copy of your completed Grocery Store Survey with your HW submission.Proved a maximum one page, typed summary of your findings, and based on the results of the Grocery-Convenient Store Survey tool, and offer your objective overall conclusion about the nutritional wholesomeness of your chosen Store, or does it support neighborhood Food Security and encourage healthy eating (as outlined by the USDA Dietary Guidelines) or does it discourage healthy eating and possible contribute to the so-called “obesity epidemic”? (Think of yourself like a “detective”, so photos, interviews, and other evidence that supports your conclusion may be added to your paper write up or on the survey tool. Finally feedback is very helpful for this newly created data collection “tool” that was used first-hand by you, so can you offer any suggesting on improving this survey tool?  Or is it “perfect” just the way it is?
