1. The job interview process is where decision-making and perceptual biases can often come into play. Consider your own interview when you took the job and describe:
What may have been the influences of the length of the interview?
What may have been the influence of the length of time it took for the interviewer to make the hiring decision on both the perception of the firm toward the individual and the individual toward the firm?
What biases may have been involved in your own hire? Consider your own biases regarding the firm as well as theirs toward you.
What can the company do to reduce the negative effects of bias in the job interview process?
2. Understanding the motivational theories in organizational behavior, select the one you believe to be the most accurate in describing human behavior. Justify your selection and describe how the motivational theory would explain the actions you have taken in your own life.
3. Think back to the job or activity that you found to be the most motivational in your life. Describe the aspects of the job that made it so exciting for you. What type, or types, of motivational techniques were used in that job or activity? If you are the manager in your current job, how could you apply those techniques in that environment?
