Team Assignment: Final Paper (50 points) You are expected to use your outline and incorporate comments your received on the outline from me to write your final paper. You will be graded on your ability to completely address all parts of the assignment, while properly citing relevant material within the required length. Demonstrating your team's ability to collaboratively satisfy the directives of the assignment and apply concepts we have learned this semester to a \"real\" situation will be crucial to achieving a good grade. YOUR TEAM MUST READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT THOROUGHLY AND FOLLOW ITS INSTRUCTIONS. General Guidelines The paper must: be between 2-3 pages (approximately, not including reference page) be typed, double-spaced, using 1-inch margins and 12-point font include one outside reference for the issue (outside sources should be literature and grounded in OB (e.g., Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management, Harvard Business Review, Management Weekly, Wall Street Journal, New York Times). include a reference page and in-text citations for any sources you use. Use APA or other approved format. Plagiarism is taken seriously. If it isn't your idea, you have to credit your source. Please, ask me if you are unsure. Detailed Requirements This is not a format, merely detailed information about the information you need to provide. Paper needs to include: Topic: Inconsistent cultural values in the workplace An Issue: Acceptance of religiously-rooted attire in the workplace 1. Specific issue is introduced and its relevance explained in OB terms. Why is it important? Why should we put effort into understanding it? Examples: Need three examples for this issue. High quality example, thorough, wellthought-out. These are specific and real-world based. They have clear actors (not generalized players) whose roles and concerns are explained. The outcomes for the organization (aka, why should the organization care) and for the individual employees are explained. Concepts: 3 high quality OB concepts per example - clearly and accurately related to the examples and the solutions/suggested next steps. The BEST concepts for the example that you can come up with. 1. Provide brief definitions (be sure to cite your source appropriately- no plagiarism) and explain how the concept applies. 2. Only include the most relevant concepts. Think of it this way, if you're a doctor diagnosing strep throat it isn't useful to focus on your patient's athlete's foot. Solutions/Suggested Next Steps: 2 high quality solutions per example- clearly describe solutions or options for employees and organizations to improve the issue. Must ensure the following: 1. Solutions must be grounded in/informed by OB material! You must be able to show how your solutions are somehow related to or inspired by OB. a. For instance, this is NOT acceptable i. Issue: People aren't showing up to work ii. OB concept: Motivation iii. Next Steps: Make them a schedule (this is a practical solution, but not informed by OB concepts and doesn't address the really problem (motivation). a. Balance your solutions so that you apply them to both the employees and the organizations. Don't place all the burden for change on one or the other. b. Don't be simplistic. Saying \"The organization should help the employees feel more committed\" is not enough - tell me how they can do this. How would you instruct a manager to implement your solution? c. These must be actionable. Saying that someone \"should just be more motivated\" is not actionable. Act as though you are providing recommendations to managers. Literally. What are the words you'd use that would be useful? a. You might imagine me asking you \"how?\" or \"why?\" repeatedly as you answer this and most all of this paper. a. Use examples. They will help you more than you know to explain your ideas. Conclusion - Brief paragraph summarizing issues, and recommendations. Identify themes that emerged. Tie the paper together
