Instructions:

For this assignment each Group will be required to conduct research and analysis at the Individual, Group and Organizational levels. Each group should select two (2) members of their group that they will conduct the research and analysis on. Each group will be assigned a specific area from the areas listed below at the Individual, Group and Organizational Level. Each group will conduct research on the two group members in the designated areas. The data collection method for the research can take the form of interviews of the two group members. Groups can employ other data collection methods such as assessment instruments as desired and applicable.

The analysis should focus on how the areas assigned at the Individual, Group and Organizational Levels impact on the performance and productivity of the two students and a group that they are or were a part of at UTECH. As such the areas assigned will become Independent Variables and the groups will be analyzing how they impact on the individual and group performance and productivity which will be the dependent variables. The groups will also compare and contrast the impact of the independent variables assigned on the performance and productivity of each group member analyzed. Groups are not required to identify the group members being analyzed by name pseudonyms can be used or the group members can be referred to as Student A and Student B.

For example, a group might be assigned Personality at the Individual Level; Group Norms at the Group Level and Work Stress at the Organizational Level. The group will collect information through interviews or other methods on what personality type each of the two group members being analyzed have, and how it impacts their performance and productivity as students and members of the group that they are or were a part of. The group will also through interview or other methods collect information on how the Group Norms impacts the performance and productivity of the students being studied or the group that they are or were a part of. The group will through interviews or other methods collect information on how stress is impacting on the performance and productivity of the two individuals or the group as a whole. The analysis at the three levels will involve comparing and contrasting the impact that the independent variables has on the performance and productivity of each group member analyzed.

For the Organizational Level of Analysis groups can use the class that they are a part of; the school or college/faculty that they are a part of or the University as a whole are the reference organization that they are focusing on.
