Before Beginning Work On This Weeks Discussion Post Review The Follo

Before beginning work on this week's discussion post, review the following resources: Doing Discussion Questions Right Expanded Grading Rubric From the assigned readings, select one topic for which you will lead the discussion in the forum this week. Early in the week, reserve your selected topic by posting your response (reservation post) in the Discussion Area, identifying your topic in the subject line. By the due date assigned, research your topic and start a scholarly conversation as you respond with your initial or primary post to your own reservation post. Some of the main topics (Disturbances Themes) this week include: Stress Decision Making Creativity Conflict Other potential topics and subtopics exist in the readings.

Be very specific about the topic you choose (e.g., which conflict theories or what it is about decision making that you are analyzing?). Also, now that you have studied several OB themes in the course, begin looking for relationships between themes from past weeks and the current week and start considering how current organizational environments (globalization, technology, change, etc.) interact with OB. As the beginning of a scholarly conversation, your initial post should be: Succinct—no more than 500 words. Provocative—use concepts and combinations of concepts from the readings to propose relationships, causes, and/or consequences that inspire others to engage (inquire, learn). In other words, take a scholarly stand.

Supported—scholarly conversations are more than opinions. Ideas, statements, and conclusions are supported by clear research and citations from course materials as well as other credible, peer-reviewed resources. For grading: The reservation post and initial post are assessed in the rubric line item "Quality of initial posting." Neither the reservation post nor the initial post "count" toward days of participation. Follow-up posts made throughout the week to your colleagues and professor will apply to participation points in the rubric. All posts will be assessed for writing mechanics and information literacy. Be sure to review the expanded rubric for more details on grading criteria.

Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires selecting a specific organizational behavior (OB) topic from the provided themes such as stress, decision making, creativity, or conflict. The student must reserve the topic early in the week by posting in the discussion forum with an appropriate subject line. Following this, they are expected to research the chosen theme thoroughly and initiate a scholarly conversation through their initial post, which should be concise (no more than 500 words), provocative, and well-supported by credible scholarly sources and course materials. The post should aim to establish relationships between OB themes from previous weeks and current themes, considering how factors like globalization, technological change, and organizational dynamics influence OB phenomena. The scholarly stand should present relationships, causes, and consequences that encourage engagement and inquiry from peers. Grading emphasizes the quality of the initial post, supported arguments, clarity, research citations, and adherence to academic writing standards. Participation through follow-up posts remains essential for overall grading, with importance placed on interaction, critical thinking, and communication skills.
