Finding solutions to problems is affected by how one frames the problem. In other words, what one thinks is wrong will influence what one believes the available solution(s) to be. Similarly, the perspective or "lens" through which one views a situation will influence what one "sees." The final project in this class consists of exploring the workings of organizational behavior from various lenses with special attention to problems that occur and inhibit organizational productivity. For Week 1, review the systems model of organizations. Remember that everything is connected. Everything influences everything else. Every element in the model affects organizational (human) behavior. When viewed from such a systems perspective, what might diminish positive/productive organizational behaviors? For example, how might technology negatively affect human behavior, or how might organizational culture negatively affect human behavior, and so forth? Identify three to five of these types of "issues." Provide brief examples from your organization that illustrate these problems where possible. In addition, how might you prevent and fix such issues? Based on your findings, write a three- to four-page paper in APA format. Submit your assignment to the W1: Assignment 4 Dropbox by Saturday, February 23, 2013. Review the grading rubric to assure that you have addressed all the required elements for the assignment.
