Case Study 1 (Industrial/Organizational Psychology)

A few months ago, the upper management of a large corporation that employs 2,500 people decided to implement major changes in the method their company handles the development of projects. This change was based on a well-known model used in the military that was familiar to the CEO. The reasoning for the change was not well-communicated to employees; it was simply mandated to be implemented without providing required, significant learning or training opportunities. Many employees do not feel the fit of this model is beneficial for their particular type of programs. As a result, employee morale is low, and group dynamics and personal work performance are suffering because the work process as it relates to their job performance is not understood. After selecting a case study, think about how you could research this scenario. Compose at least one research question for the case study you selected. Explain the goal of the research you are proposing to address for your chosen case study. Define the steps of the research process you would follow. Evaluate how ethical considerations would affect your research. Based on the information you read from the "Standard 8: Research and Publication" section of the APA Code of Ethics, determine which ethical principles apply to your case study. Explain how you will consider cultural diversity in the interpretation of your research findings
