Discussion 2: Theories of Work Motivation and Job Attitudes

/in /by

 

Have you ever wondered why you approach work a certain way while another person, who has the same salary and/or does the same job, seems to be motivated very differently? As an organizational consultant, familiarity with theories of work motivation, which are derived from years of behavioral science research, can help you to interpret employee behavior. Understanding the factors that motivate employees can help improve satisfaction levels within an organization, leading to increased performance and productivity.

Learning about work motivation is only one facet to understanding job satisfaction. In your role as a consultant, it is necessary to achieve a deeper understanding of employee behaviors. One way to do this is to analyze individual job attitudes and theories associated with job satisfaction.

In this Discussion, you will explore differences in workplace motivation and job satisfaction and then use theory to describe them both.

To prepare for this Discussion,

  • Select a work motivation theory and consider how it explains work motivation and job satisfaction.
  • Review the article “Job Attitudes, Job Satisfaction, and Job Affect: A Century of Continuity and Change.” Focus on job aspects that can influence motivation and how it is differentiated from job satisfaction.
  • Review the article “Attitudes: Satisfaction, Commitment and Involvement.” Focus on the various theories presented as well as the affective and situational aspects influencing motivation and job attitudes.
  • Read the article “Exploring Different Forms of Job (Dis)satisfaction and Their Relationship With Well-Being, Motivation, and Performance.” Identify any theories presented as well as the explanation of motivation in relation to job satisfaction.

By Day 5

Post a response to the following:  

Provide an explanation of how the constructs of work motivation and job satisfaction differ. Then describe the work motivation theory you selected and explain how the factors described in that theory might explain work motivation and job satisfaction.

Instructional Strategies and Technology Toolkit

/in /by

  

An effective teacher has a toolbox of teaching approaches, or instructional strategies, from which to select the appropriate tool to develop engaging learning activities. As a teacher plans, they will consider the instructional strategies and technology tools most suited for their students to achieve the learning objectives for the lesson. These instructional strategies range along a continuum from teacher-directed to student-centered. A teacher may start with a teacher-directed instructional approach and then move to a student-centered approach after students have been introduced to a new concept, allowing students to learn to take responsibility for their learning. For this assignment, you will either begin filling your instructional strategy and technology toolkit or you will add to one you already have. This will be a very helpful resource as you begin developing lesson plans for your own classroom.

Research the following topics:

  • Teacher-directed      and student-centered teaching approaches and instructional strategies that      have proven to be effective in the classroom
  • Technological      tools and devices that can be used to support student learning

Create a 2- to 2 ½-page toolkit that can be used as a future reference for instructional planning. Complete the following in your resource:

  • Describe      teacher-directed instructional strategies, including 2–3 examples for      classroom use.
  • Describe      student-centered instructional strategies, including 2–3 examples for      classroom use.
  • Describe      a minimum of 4 questioning strategies that lead to increased student      engagement, develop higher order thinking skills, and/or promote student      reflection.
  • Describe      a minimum of 5 technological tools and/or devices that promote student      engagement and learning.
  • Provide      a minimum of 10 links (5 links per topic below) to websites that provide      articles, videos, or other resources on the following topics:
  • Effective      instructional strategies for the secondary classroom
  • Technology      tools and/or devices that can be used to support student learning in the secondary classroom

We need to write a synthesis paper and also choose the topic there are some poems attached to help generate the topic for this paper. We need at least 4 peer reviewed scholarly journal articles for the assignment.

/in /by

 Attached Files:

Write a 4-5 page essay in MLA format (at least 4 scholarly sources). Using one of the attached poems, identify a theme from which you can write a paper. You will not be writing nor analyzing the poem. The poem is only to be used to generate a topic.

Your paper should include all of the following elements:

  • Explanation of issues: Issue/problem to be considered critically is stated clearly and described comprehensively, delivering all relevant information necessary for full understanding.
  • Evidence: Information is taken from source(s) with enough interpretation/evaluation to develop a comprehensive analysis or synthesis. Viewpoints of experts are questioned thoroughly.
  • Position: Specific position is imaginative, taking into account the complexities of an issue. (This means that you have written a sophisticated thesis.) Limits of position are acknowledged. Others’ points of view are synthesized within position (Basically, these two things are the discussion of the opposing view and rebuttal.)
  • Conclusions and related outcomes: (Other terms might be “implications and consequences”) Conclusions and related outcomes are logical and reflect student’s informed evaluation and ability to place evidence and perspectives discussed in priority order.

Additionally, your essay will earn the highest points in the component area of written communication if it meets the following criteria.

  • Context of and Purpose for Writing: Demonstrate a thorough understanding of context, audience, and purpose of a proposal essay.
  • Content Development: Use appropriate, relevant, and compelling content to illustrate mastery of a proposal essay.
  • Genre and Disciplinary Conventions: Properly format and organize the essay in MLA style.
  • Sources and Evidence: Incorporate at least two citations in each paragraph from at least two library database sources.
  • Control of Syntax and Mechanics: Use graceful language that skillfully communicates meaning to readers with clarity and fluency, making almost no errors.

CPU Algorithm- Discussion Response

/in /by

 Read the post below and respond in your own words. Must be at least 100 words.

———————————————————————————————————————————

Let’s start with the basic concepts of scheduling. Scheduling  is a fundamental operating-system function. Almost all computer  resources are scheduled before use. The CPU is, of course, one of the  primary computer resources. Thus, its scheduling is central to the  operating-system design.

Round robin algorithm is one of the CPU scheduling algorithms  used to schedule processes in the CPU in a way that the time taken to  complete all processes is less. In this algorithm, every process is  given a fixed amount of time to complete its task and later again given  CPU if the duration is not completed. Meanwhile, other processes are  provided CPU for the same fixed amount of time in a cyclic way. This  process uses the concept of context switching so that states of  preemptive processes are saved.

  • First Come First Serve Scheduling

Strength:

  • Easy to understand and implement.
  • Starvation of processes is not there.

Weakness:

  • Wait time is very high.
  • Processes at the end have to wait for so long to get their chance to acquire CPU.
  • Shortest Job next Scheduling

Strength:

  • Beneficial for the processes with less burst time.
  • Short-time processes can be executed in a faster way.
  • Hence this increases the throughput.

Weakness:

  • Every time CPU has to check for the process available with the shortest time.
  • Processes with larger burst time have to wait
  • Starvation of processes is there
  • Processes at the end have to wait for so long to get their chance to acquire CPU.
