How do you apply in 100 words?The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is designed to help people identify and gain some understanding around how they take in information and make decisions, the patterns of perception and judgment, as seen in normal, healthy behavior (Myers Briggs 2023). This assessment outlines how certain aspects of a person’s behavior and personality can dictate how they will react to different situations whether in a personal or professional setting. Personality refers to the relatively enduring pattern of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that characterize a person, along with the psychological processes behind those characteristics (McShane et al., 2022). In essence, it is the bundle of characteristics that make us similar to or different from other people. We estimate an individual’s personality by what he or she says and does, and we infer the person’s internal states-including thoughts and emotions-from these observable behaviors (McShane et al.,…

How do I respond to this in 100 words?Rewards are considered a vital key in creating employee devotion to increase performance and consistency (Bose & Maheshwary, 2019). When it comes to rewarding employees for their hard work, Plant Manager Henry Simms has various options available. When trying to motivate employees, they are often offered rewards such as additions to base pay, retirement contributions, commissions, profit sharing, cash bonuses, and meals (Employee, 2021). Employers generally focus on maintaining operating costs for better economic gains, so providing additional monetary rewards can conflict with the firm's goals (Holley et al., 2017). Employees report that they prefer to receive rewards based on individual performance, such as an increase in base pay compared to single lump sums or incentive pay (Holley et al., 2017). Looking at the company budget for employee rewards would ultimately determine how they can be handled. I would recommend offering a lunch to both…
