 Evaluate Ethical Conduct in a Public Administration Setting

 

Instructions

Respond to the following scenario in a PowerPoint presentation: Recently, you were promoted as the chief of a section in your workplace that has been plagued with various ethical and rules violations, including false claims of injuries on the job, calling in sick (when it is known the people were not ill), etc. Your predecessor had a “system” of perks that included assigned parking spots for personal use and key managers. This individual also hired an in-law. While the hiring did not violate a state law, it was not well received within the division (more qualified people were mysteriously not hired). You want to change things. Reflect on how you should proceed.

For this assignment, develop a PowerPoint presentation outlining your proposed plan with your supervisor as your main audience. Your supervisor has also been concerned about the actions and perceptions arising from your newly assigned department. Therefore, you may wish to address the following:

  1. An explanation of why ethics is important to the organization and to the leader within the public organizational setting;
  2. A description of how ethics influences organizational culture, and how the leader can use public service ethics to shape organizational culture;
  3. Best practices for creating a public organization ethics program and a code of ethics;
  4. The information you might include in your Code of Ethics for this scenario.
  5. Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA 7 format and style where appropriate. Save the file as PPT with the correct course code information.

Length: 12-15 slides

References: Include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources

Notes Length: 100-150 words for each slide

Chapter 2: Strategic Human Resource Management

2.1. Do you think that it is easier to tie human resources to the strategic management process in large or in small organizations? Why?

2.2. Consider one of the organizations you have been affiliated with. What are some examples of human resource practices that were consistent with that organization’s strategy? What are examples of practices that were inconsistent with its strategy?

2.3. What types of specific skills (such as knowledge of financial accounting methods) do you think HR professionals will need in order to have the business, professional-technical, change management, and integrative competencies necessary in the future? Where can you develop each of these skills?

Case Study/Caregiver Role Strain

/in /by

Caregiver Role Strain: Ms. Sandra A. 

Sandra, a 47-year-old divorced woman, received a diagnosis of stage 3 ovarian cancer 4 years ago, for which she had a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo- oophorectomy, omentectomy, lymphadenectomy, and tumor debulking followed by chemotherapy, consisting of cisplatin (Platinol), paclitaxel (Taxol), and doxorubicin (Adriamycin). She did well for 2 years and then moved back to her hometown near her family and underwent three more rounds of second-line chemotherapy. She accepted a less stressful job, bought a house, renewed old friendships, and became more involved with her two sisters and their families. 

Sandra developed several complications, including metastasis to the lungs. Then she could no longer work, drive, or care for herself. She had been told by her oncologist that there was nothing else that could be done and that she should consider entering a hospice. She met her attorney and prepared an advance directive and completed her will. She decided to have hospice care at home and, with the help of her family, set up her first floor as a living and sleeping area. She was cared for by family members around the clock for approximately 3 days. 

Sandra observed that she was tiring everyone out so much that they could not really enjoy each other’s company. At this time, she contacted the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) to seek assistance. Her plan was to try to enjoy her family and friend’s visits. After assessment, the VNA nurse prioritized her problems to include fatigue and caregiver role strain. Other potential problem areas that may need to be incorporated into the care plan include anticipatory grieving and impaired comfort. 

Reflective Questions 

1. What are some of the stresses on Sandra’s middle-aged sisters and their families? 

2. What resources are available to manage these stresses and support the sisters while caring for their dying sister Sandra? 

3. Describe Sandra’s feelings about dependency and loss of autonomy because she is unable to do her own activities of daily living any longer

English “Curiosity Project”

/in /by

 

Curiosity Final Project

What have you always wanted to know? That is what we have explored this final unit of English 1302. We have learned the various aspects of research and how research can be used to discover what it is you are curious to know. Your objective in this assignment is:

  • to focus your curiosity down to a manageable topic
  • to decide and to justify what type of research you will need to use to finally understand what you have always wanted to know
  • to communicate that researched topic in the most appropriate form that teaches others what you have learned in this process

You should have already chosen your topic, which for many, started out broadly. Focus your topic to something more specific that you can manage in an assignment of this size.

Next, decide which type of research you will need to use for your topic and carry out that research: pure, original, secondary, or a combination of all three. You will justify the type of research used in the form of a proposal and annotated bibliography (see below).

Finally, present your findings in the most appropriate format (essay, scientific study, film, or other type of media presentation):

  • Use the information you found during your research process to educate your audience on your topic.
  • If you are presenting your findings in essay format, yours must include an introduction with a specific thesis statement that the body paragraphs will support through the research you incorporate and with a conclusion that ties together your essay.
  • If you are presenting your findings in a different format, you must still communicate that information in an organized and logical format (with introductory and concluding information), supported by the findings from your research.

For those writing essays or scientific studies, the specific requirements of this assignment include that your essay must:

  • be longer and more comprehensive than any other essay you have written and adequate to fully explore and answer your question (I will not specify a page or time length as you are the expert on this topic)
  • adhere to the standards of academic writing
  • be organized (with an introduction that includes a thesis statement, body paragraphs which support that thesis statement, and a conclusion that ties everything together if presenting in essay form), be logical, and be clear
  • be typed/referenced in whatever format your topic’s discipline requires (APA, Chicago, CSE or other)
    • include a bibliography, in the style of the format your discipline requires
    • include adequate research to support your topic (typically, that is around one to two sources per page of writing)

For those presenting in a format other than an essay or scientific study, the specific requirements of this assignment include that your presentation must:

  • be engaging: use whatever software you want to create animation or videos or podcasts or whatever else you can imagine
  • not be static—pay attention: NO STATIC POWER POINTS as they do little to communicate
  • be organized (with an introduction and conclusion in some format)
  • be presented in a format that is grammatically correct (writing and/or oral reading must be correct)
  • be accompanied with a bibliography (at the end of the presentation) in whatever format your topic’s discipline requires (APA, Chicago, CSE or other)
  • include adequate research to support your topic
  • be uploaded or shared in a format that is accessible to everyone in class

Curiosity Proposal and Annotated Bibliography

The purpose of writing a proposal is to collect your thoughts about what you want to include in your essay/study/presentation, what you want to emphasize, and how to go about doing both of those.

Write both the proposal and the annotated bibliography in the format you will use in your final essay/study/presentation.

The requirements of this proposal entail:

  • Defining the topic: What did you learn about what you always wanted to know?
  • Defining the focus (summarize in 1-2 sentences the following): How did you narrow down what you always wanted to know? What aspect of this topic did you focus on and why?

Your proposal should be one paragraph in length.

The requirements of this proposal entail:

The purpose of an annotated bibliography is evaluate the sources you have researched and will probably use in your essay. See this video (Links to an external site.) on what an annotated bibliography is.

The requirements of the annotated bibliography entail evaluating the sources you have researched in annotated bibliographic form, including:

  • a brief (one to two sentences) summary of the piece
  • a discussion of why this particular source is applicable to your essay/study/presentation
  • citing these sources in the style required by the discipline which your topic falls under. The most popular document styles are:
    • APA format for topics that fall under psychology, sociology, health, or nursing
    • MLA format for topics that fall under the humanities, such as literature, art, music, theater, or dance
    • Chicago Manual of Style format for historical topics
    • Google the documentation style used for other disciplines

Your annotated bibliography should contain any potential sources you may use, even if you ultimately decide not to use them in your essay.
