Working With Employees: An I/O Commentary on Real World Problems
This required Portfolio assignment will give you experience observing and interacting with people outside of the classroom. It has been designed to provide you with the opportunity to develop skills, synthesize knowledge, and integrate learning in a real world setting. This assignment accomplishes that goal by challenging you to:
· Conduct a 30-minute, semi-structured interview with a manager
· Identify common challenges and issues that arise in the workplace
· Evaluate strategies for addressing these challenges
· Integrate your findings with evidence-based literature from journal articles, textbook, and additional scholarly sources.
Objective: This assignment is designed to help you identify common problems that managers face when dealing with employees, and the solutions that managers use in an attempt to solve those problems. This assignment will also give you an opportunity to evaluate the efficacy of the solutions from a practical perspective and from the perspective of research in Industrial/Organizational psychology.
Step 1: Identify someone in your community who is a manager. This should be someone who is responsible for recruiting and/or selecting employees, supervising employees, and evaluating employee performance.
Step 2: Conduct a 30-minute interview with the manager. In your interview, be sure to cover the following questions:
· What are some of the common problems that you have experienced with employees? Be sure to steer the discussion toward relevant topics such as recruitment, employee selection, employee motivation, employee training, job attitudes, giving feedback, creating incentives, managing conflict, and so forth.
· Identify two major problems that the manager mentions and ask how he or she has responded to those problems. What solutions has the manager tried? Have the solutions worked?
Step 3: Using scholarly sources such as your textbook and professional journal articles that you find in the University Library, research the two problems mentioned by the manager. What does the field of I/O say about these types of problems or issues? What recommendations might you make to the manager?
Document your interview and your library research in a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper. Your paper should consist of the following parts:
· An introduction, describing the individual that you interviewed and his/her position
· A summary of the interview focusing on the two major problems and attempted solutions
· A scholarly commentary with recommendations from the perspective of I/O psychology
Be sure to include at least five scholarly references in your paper. Provide a list your specific interview questions as an Appendix. Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

The Gorilla King (2004) Film Assignment Paper details
After watching The Gorilla King (2004) FILM Narrated By F. Murray Abraham, Please answer the following questions:
1. The film depicts a female gorilla who continues to carry her infant for two days after it dies. Similar instances of dead infant carrying have been reported in other primates, including chimpanzees and geladas. What are some reasons you can think of that might explain this carrying of dead infants among gorillas and other primates?
2. The film mentions that females often mate with multiple males within their groups to confuse paternity. Based on what you have learned about gorilla society from the film, lecture, and readings, what circumstances might make this strategy of promiscuity adaptive for female gorillas? The Gorilla King (2004) Film Assignment
3. The film presents mountain gorilla tourism in a solely positive light. What are some of tourisms benefits for the gorillas? There are also some drawbacks to tourism for the gorillas not mentioned in the film. Can you think of what some of these drawbacks may be? The Gorilla King (2004) Film Assignment
4. You learn in the film that 900,000 people died in 100 days during the Rwandan genocide in 1994, a truly horrifying statistic. Following the genocide, some wildlife conservationists expressed concern about what might have happened to Rwandas mountain gorilla population during the genocide. Do you think this concern for the status of the mountain gorillas in the wake of the genocide was objectionable? Why or why not?

This module taught you about ethical and political issues of applied research and discussed the components of good and unsuccessful proposals. Using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and other scholarly sources, discuss how you would assess one of the ethical cases listed below.
Roger Thompson had recently spent eighteen months in Melanesia with the Grand Lake people. When he was invited to contribute a chapter to a colleagues book on myth, Roger decided to discuss one of the Grand Lake myths about the origin of certain magical powers. The story would illustrate a point that he wished to make about the authority of the shaman in the lives of the people.
After carefully translating the myth, Roger reviewed his field notes to check a few details. As he was turning the pages of his notebook, he discovered that two of them were stuck together. When he separated them, he found that the second page, which had been concealed by the first, contained a few short notes describing how he had come to record the myth, the details of which he had forgotten. According to his notes, he had persuaded the leading shaman in the village to recount the myth, provided that Roger promised never to reveal it to anyone else. Suddenly, Roger wondered whether he was violating a confidence by contributing a discussion of this myth to his colleagues book. What should he do?
The research protocol for a study of a drug on hypertension requires the administration of the drug at different doses to fifty laboratory mice, with chemical and behavioral tests to determine toxic effects. Tom has almost finished the experiment for Dr. Q. He has only five mice left to test; however, he really wants to finish his work in time to go to Florida on spring break with his friends, who are leaving that night. He has injected the drug in all fifty mice but has not completed all of the tests. He therefore decides to extrapolate from the forty-five completed results to produce the five additional results.
Dr. T has just discovers a mathematical error in a paper that has been accepted for publication in a journal. The error does not affect the overall results of his research, but it is potentially misleading. The journal has just gone to press, so it is too late to catch the error before it appears in print. To avoid embarrassment, Dr. T decides to ignore the error.
Dr. Wexford is the principal investigator of a large epidemiological study on the health of five thousand agricultural workers. She has an impressive dataset that includes information on demographics, environmental exposures, diet, genetics, and various disease outcomes such as cancer, Parkinsons disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). She has just published a paper on the relationship between pesticide exposure and PD in a prestigious journal. She is planning to publish many other papers from her dataset. She receives a request from another research team that wants access to her complete dataset. The team is interested in examining the relationship between pesticide exposure and skin cancer. Dr. Wexford is planning to conduct a study on this topic.
Dr. Wexford faces a difficult choice. On the one hand, the ethical norm of openness obliges her to share data with the other research team. Her funding agency may also have rules that obligate her to share data. On the other hand, if she shares data with the other team, it may publish results that she is planning to publish, thus depriving her (and her team) of recognition and priority. It seems that there are good arguments on both sides of this issue, and Dr. Wexford needs to take some time to think about what she should do. One possible option is to share data, provided that the investigators sign a data use agreement. The agreement could define allowable uses of the data, publication plans, authorship, etc.

Clinical interventions include invasive and non-invasive procedures, and cognitive interventions.
Invasive:
(a) Therapeutic interventions where there is a disruption of the epithelial lining generally, but not exclusively, with an implied closure of an incision (e.g. operations such as cholecystectomy or administration of a chemotherapeutic drug through a vascular access device);
(b) Diagnostic interventions where an incision is required and/or a body cavity is entered (e.g. laparoscopy with/without biopsy, bone marrow aspiration).
Non-invasive:
Therapeutic or diagnostic interventions undertaken without disruption of an epithelial lining (e.g. lithotripsy, hyperbaric oxygenation; allied health interventions such as hydrotherapy; diagnostic interventions not requiring an incision or entry into a body part such as pelvic ultrasound, diagnostic imaging).
Cognitive:
An intervention which requires cognitive skills such as evaluating, advising, planning (e.g. dietary education, physiotherapy assessment, crisis intervention, bereavement counselling).
