How would you go about finding the right person?

Read the directions carefully!!

The second application is built on the first application. You have now created a job description–now you are to think about how you would develop a recruitment and selection strategy around this position. If it is a position that requires multiple people to fill it–then this might be a factor as well.

Using the information contained in the text; you should focus on:

1) Describing the recruiting process itself (in other words, what types of places would you advertise, would you advertise, in general) How would you go about finding the right person?

2) The criteria to be used to select individuals to interview from resumes received.

3) Define behavioral and situational questions to be asked during the interviewing process.Be sure to include expected responses from the ideal candidate.

4) What, if any, tests would you require. If you will not require tests, why not?What is the expected outcome from this kind of testing?

Again, this application requires some original thought.

What considerations need to be made to ensure the scale and test are reliable and valid for another population?

Scaling

When conducting research, it is important to use a scale that is both valid and reliable. In this Discussion, you will assess the reliability and validity of a scale relating to your research proposal.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review Chapter 18 of the Frankfort-Nachmias and Nachmias text as well as the website on scaling.
Search your discipline’s literature for a research article that contains an example of a test and a scale.
Choose a published research article that includes discussion of scale reliability and validity. You should choose one that reflects a scale you are using in your design; however, if you are not using a scale, choose an article that reflects a scale used for research in your discipline.
What considerations need to be made to ensure the scale and test are reliable and valid for another population?

With these thoughts in mind:

Post 3 to 4 pages of critique of the scale used in the article and report to the class on its reliability and validity. State the methods the researchers used to test scale reliability and validity. Were these the best choices? Explain any different choices that you would have made. Along with the assignment, post the scale or a link to the scale so that fellow students can view it and discuss it.

What type of self-handicapping strategy could you have used?

Impression management is something that we all employ from time to time to achieve certain goals in our life. Sometimes we want to appear likable, other times we want to appear competent, and yet other times we desire to gain control or power over a situation, all of which can yield positive outcomes. Yet at other times we self-handicap in order to appear like we have not been incompetent or failed, which we often perceive as a positive outcome because we have protected the way others see us (or at least we feel we have).

- In what situation are you most likely to use impression management? What situation are you most likely not going to work to use impression management? What is the typical difference between these two situations?

- Provide an example of when you used impression management successfully. What was the outcome and why?

- Provide an example in which you attempted to use impression management and it failed. Why did it fail, and what was that outcome?

In this last situation would the outcome have felt better if you had used a self-handicapping strategy? What type of self-handicapping strategy could you have used? Finally, what are the dangers of turning to this kind of strategy on a regular basis?

What virtues are at stake?

the 501 Module 2 discussion/ Need help to answer

Jim Smith has worked for the ABC Insurance Company for the past twenty-three years. Jim graduated with a top-notch accounting degree and he also has his MBA. Bar none, Jim is considered by everyone in his organization to be a brilliant accountant. At issue is that Jim’s brilliance may be coupled with just a little too much “creativity” when one considers his approach to maximizing the company’s profits.

At the end of every quarter, Jim calls up the supervisors of each of ABC’s insurance branches, and asks them to estimate their outstanding insurance claims. These insurance claims represent money that the company very likely owes its customers – i.e., claims are estimates of money owed at the end of the quarter to ABC’s customers who are likely to file a claim in the near future, but who have not yet done so (the total money owed – but still outstanding – is referred to as a “claims lag”, since there is a lag from the date on which an insurable event has occurred to that point in time at which ABC has become aware that a customer has filed a valid claim).

For instance, based on historical experience, at the end of each quarter, Division 1 of ABC Company estimates that 20% of all claims for that quarter are still outstanding (i.e., an insurable event has occurred, but has not yet been reported to Division 1). This is the number (20%) reported to Jim. Being the “brilliant” accountant that he is, and in light of his sheer eagerness to maximize profits for the quarter (and because his quarterly bonus is based on each quarter’s profits!), Jim reduces the outstanding claims reported by all of ABC’s insurance divisions by 10%. In doing so, Jim has effectively reduced the company’s quarterly claims expenses by this same 10% — and voila! — Jim has also managed a creative increase in his own quarterly bonus.

As you might guess, Jim sees nothing wrong in further reducing the divisions’ company claims estimates, reasoning: “Look…they’re all a bunch of estimates anyhow!” Jim further opines: “Besides, I have a duty to this company and to its stockholders – and that is to maximize profits!”

Consider this situation from a virtue ethics perspective. What virtues are at stake?
