Running head: ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS FOR WEEK -6 FINAL Organizational Behavior Analysis for Week -6 Final Ashford University Organizational Behavior BUS 610 December 22, 2013 Organizational Behavior Analysis for Week -6 Final I will be talking about my current job as a Child Protective Investigator (CPI) also known as Child Protective Services (or CPS). This is the governmental agency that is tasked with investigating child abuse or neglect. The primary concern of a CPI is the safety of the child; they do this by assessing the risk involved. By weighing that risk the CPI has to make the decision rather to remove the children or child from the home or place services within the home that will allow …show more content…
To create and provide an equal, balanced and great place for the CPIs to work and excel. Because of the different cultures and people CPI’s face in this business there are multiple types of communication used and embraced by CPS. CPS uses a variety of both verbal and written communication as forms of disseminating information throughout CPS. The type of communication that is used is dependent upon the importance of information and how quickly it needs to be provided. Some of these communication devices are: emails, brochures, company websites, meetings, notice boards, letters, telephone, and texting. What the CPS tries to do is to ensure that the communication is always open and that it represents and displays the culture of CPS. Communication devices play a major role in CPS, because many of the families we come into contact with have disabilities which may require a different type of communication, such as sign language interpreters, virtual websites may have to be used because the interpreter may be in another state, like interpreters for people that speak different languages and so on. It is vital to be able to communicate the message you are trying to convey to these families in a manner they can relate to, because bad communication can be destructive to the fabric of

I believe that the most challenging aspect of working in protective services is separating work from home. Being able to "leave work at work" is difficult to do for any position, especially when considering deadlines that must be met and paperwork that must be completed. Working in protective services provides the additional challenge of leaving the horrifying images and circumstances that a service worker will see and face at the door before entering the home. Protective services appeals to me specifically because I want to assist children and families in facing some of the darkest moments in their lives. While it is difficult to separate work from home, working in protective services is one of the most worthwhile things one can do and one
Thank you for your considering my application to the Applied Behavior analysis program. For all of my life I have known that I was going to help people. It could be said that it is in my DNA. I just never suspected what the capacity would be. On December 15thI graduated from Albright college, I began working at Melmark on December 16th. My first thought, on that first day was “Oh no, I can’t do this, I need to quit” That was over two years ago, and I have gone to work every day, with a smile on my face. While working at my first position, out of college, I discovered my passion. My passion, I find, is working with children and adults with autism and with people who suffer from addiction. Watching the smiles on their faces, the determination when they work to complete a goal, and just the progress makes every hardship worth it, I love it. Each day, in my position as an ABA, I run behavior support plans, IEPs, teaching plans and other protocols, and each day I truly wish that I could have contributed to these plans, protocols, and IEPs. I ponder the recommendations that I could come up with, I wonder that if I had been able to participate in these conversations to create these plans could I have brought something else to the table, a different viewpoint. Affecting the way that the plans are written and in turn ran, I feel that I could make a big difference in the lives of the children and their families also. Every two weeks each child’s team meets to discuss his or her
Remember the Titans is an exciting film about the Civil Rights movement in the U.S. It personifies the power of respect, care and desire to win prevailing over racial prejudice. It showcases how individuals from diversified color, background and culture rose from the occasion and became lifelong friends. The players, Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell, and the coaches, Herman Boone and Bill Yoast, are truly inspiring figures in the film.
Training is essential for the success of an organization (Fallon & McConnell, n.d.). Three different training techniques that can help develop successful new staff that will improve a business is by having a effective new employee orientation, mentoring, and cross training (Fallon & McConnell, n.d.). For most new employee they are excited to start a new job and to find out what the job has to offer to them. However with every new employee there is an overload of information that they need to know from healthcare benefits, dress code, rule, and parking (Fallon & McConnell, n.d.). A new employee orientation is meet to help cover all this information and a way the new employee can get a feel of what their new job is going to be like. One
Organization behavior analysis is the study of information regarding an organization and its individual or group of people with their actions and performances within an organization. It is most important key feature which should be used to maintain and enhance interaction levels between employers and employees within the organization. Organizational Behavior helps in the analysis of employer and employees behaviour within an organization. It includes the employee’s behavior towards their work as well as toward each other. It also relates to how one organizations behave, what type of culture exists within organization, what type of nature of authority and modes of communication used in the organization, what motivational techniques they follow in the organization. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the organizational behavior of my former employer of company “Telenor” by describing organization’s culture, nature of authority, modes of communication, motivational techniques, emotional quotient and virtual elements etc in a negative or positive manner.
To understand organizational behavior you must understand its key concepts and terminology. Organizational behavior “is a multidisciplinary field devoted to understanding individual and group behavior, interpersonal processes and organizational dynamics.” (Schermerhorn, 2005 p. 3). An organization’s behavior is significant in determining its success as a business and with its employees. Working conditions, production and employee performance are all elements of organizational behavior. Organizational behavior has become an important element in the realignment taking place within Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA).

After reading the article Social Organizations by Robert Prodanciuc, it has become clear that within the term organization in regards to the workplace, there are many different facets to what an organization actually is, and what influences its overall development and consistency. When examining the various styles, one that is mentioned by the author when citing Ioan Mihăilescu stands out as the type of organization I see myself involved in when thinking of the future: bureaucracy. The author defines a bureaucracy as a "type of social organization where power is exercised by an administrative department that is more or less rational. The elements of the ideal type of bureaucracy are: the prescriptions system, the rationality of goals pursuing,
Behavior analysis is the scientific study of behavior. The two main areas of focus within the field are experimental analysis of behavior and applied behavior analysis. The experimental analysis of behavior studies how behavior is learned and changes over time and is the scientific foundation of applied behavior analysis. Through the use of applied behavior analysis a practitioner is able to systematically identify the variables involved in socially significant behaviors and influence a change of behavior. Practitioners utilizing this approach may provide service in a wide array of areas such as working within an organization to improve the overall organizational functioning, improve skills, or reduce problem behaviors. A behavior
