The purpose of Discussion 1 is to understand those factors that impact productivity, performance, and employee satisfaction and engagement. Your readings included management theory, organizational behavior, and effective management. All of these can impact employee performance. Job performance is defined as the degree to which an employee successfully meets the requirements included in the job description. Measures of performance may include the quality or quantity of work performed by the employee, the accuracy or speed with which the job is performed and the overall effectiveness of the individual performing the job. Job performance determines whether a person is promoted, rewarded with pay raises, given additional responsibilities, or fired from the job. Job performance is one of the main outcomes studied in the field of organizational behavior. Keep this in mind as you complete the discussion assignment for weeks 1 and 2.
Week 1:
There are many factors that can impact employee performance such as individual personality, work environment, managerial behaviors, motivational factors, and organizational culture/climate.
In this discussion, select two of the factors above and present research on how these factors positively influence employee performance.
Follow these instructions below:
In the main course menu (located on the course Home page) go to “Academic Support” where you will find a link to the library. From the UMGC library home page enter your search terms in the OneSearch box and place a check mark for Scholarly Journals only. Find one or more articles that focus on the impact of the factors you selected on employee performance (The articles should be less than 5 years old.) If you can’t find any suitable articles when you check Scholarly Journals, then uncheck that box and see what comes up. An alternative source to use is “Google Scholar” to do your research. You may also use the library sources to research publications like Forbes, Fortune and the Harvard Business Review.
In the first paragraph, summarize the findings related to the first factor you chose. Be specific and concise. This paragraph should be no more than 5-6 sentences.
In the second paragraph, explain how a manager could apply these findings to improve performance.
In your next paragraph, summarize the findings related to the second factor you chose, writing no more than 4-6 sentences.
In your final paragraph, explain how a manager could apply these findings to improve performance.
For each article used, cite using a proper writing style. The UMGC Library has wonderful resources available to you that show you how to write and cite in a proper style (APA, MLA, Chicago).
