    OB Newsletter

Your boss has assembled your team and has called upon your expertise as organisational behaviourists to put together an informative company newsletter on particular OB topics relevant to a contemporary workplace. The newsletter is aimed at informing staff, who may not have any knowledge of organisational behaviour, of topics that are relevant to current workplaces. Your newsletter can include information on any three of the following topics:

  • What work means to different people and how it affects their behav iour at work
  • The impact of national culture on working relationships in multi -national organisations
  • The role attribution theory plays in how perceptions about others are formed
  • The impact of stereotyping on organisational behaviour
  • Emotions and how they affect decision-making
  • How attitude affects our behaviour and our output in the workplace
  • How attitude affects our ability to build positive working relationships with colleagues
  • The role of money in motivation
  • The role of job-design in motivation
  • The impact of stress on productivity and individual wellbeing
  • How to develop effective self-directed work teams
  • How to resolve team conflict and improve team performance
  • How and when conflict can enhance creativity and performance
  • The role of leadership for organisational success
  • Workplace bullying and how to inform and protect employees
  • The importance of socialising new employees into the organisational culture
  • How to manage misbehaviour

 

 

You should aim to develop short, informative pieces of approximately 650 words each. Each written piece should clearly identify and conceptualise the topic, explain its relevance to understanding and managing behaviour in organisations and provide clear and concise guidelines to address any issues or improve behaviour and the performance of the specific organisation. While these written pieces should be designed to inform (and even entertain if you would like them to), they should be linked to relevant theory and examples. The aim of this assignment within the context of BUMGT2606 is to develop an understanding of current issues in organisational behaviour and to quickly and articulately communicate these in the context of OB theory. Additionally, students should be able to illustrate how knowledge of OB topics can be used to manage employees more effectively.

Presentation requirements: Since this is a creative assignment, students have a choice as to how they would like to Word process their assignments. The only requirement is that the newsletter should be readable and user-friendly. Please ensure that you check the grammar and spelling in your assignment before submitting it. APA style of referencing is a strict requirement for this assessment. As I will be using track changes, please DO NOT submit in PDF form.
