Taking the importance of transactional leadership style in the decision making process, leaders will make decision by using rationality and will engage in logic when making decisions (Loveren, 2007; Muhammad Naveed & Muhammad Tahir, 2014). Besides, Tatum et al. (2003) also found that these characteristics of transactional leadership style should be connected with less comprehensive decision style as well as reflect a style that puts the amount of information processed. In short, Eberlin and Tatum (2008) conclude that transactional leaders will concerned on how the organization deals out rewards and the policies when their followers participate in the decision making
The intangible benefits that I anticipate for this system are making work less stressful on the users allowing them to perform better and create a more coordinated and easier way to obtain information. 4. What do you consider to be the risks of the project as you currently understand it? Is this a low-, medium-, or high-risk project? Justify your answer.
Then every possible alternative is generated and with their impacts evaluated. Finally the optimal alternative would be chosen. This is the conventional process of decision-making suggested by classical theories. Simon, on the other hand, determined that this is not a realistic approach considering decision-making concepts, he argued that decision makes, who are human, is unable to be rational under environmental constraints and human incapacity. Also, these two factors can have impacts on the behaviour and rationality of the decision maker.
In many cases, an informal or abbreviated approach can lead to reasonable interventions. However, in other circumstances, a more comprehensive and systematic process is required. An appropriate FBA is one that is matched to the circumstances and leads to an effective behavioral support plan. When enough data have been collected for FBA, the information must be summarized in a way to be useful in making intervention decisions. There are three steps: (A) formulation behavioral hypotheses, (B) constructing a completing behaviors pathway model, (C) compressive intervention planning based on behavioral hypotheses and competing behaviors pathway (Sprague, Sugai,& Walker,
Where thinkers value the principles and rules, feelers consider the people affected by the situation. J or P: Structuring This dimension refers to whether the preference is for being adaptable by keeping open to perceiving new information or getting organized and making quicker decisions. When a person follows explanations open-mindedly, for example, Perception (adaptability) is preferred. On the other hand, if one’s mind is rather quickly made up as to agreement or disagreement, then Judging (organization) is
* Describe and critically evaluate the key differences between process theories of motivation and content theories of motivation? * Critically evaluate the accuracy of the claim that: “since there is no one best way of leading, managers must adjust their leadership style in response to pressures deriving from the organizational situation in which they are working”. * What is leadership? With reference to relevant theories of leadership, critically evaluate the claim that there is ‘one best
The Self-Serving Bias One barrier to critical thinking is self-serving biases. I had this theory that if my actions do not need to be rationalized if the motives are good. The characteristics of others even post a threat. These situations can cause us to develop a self-serving attitude.
The rational choice theory focuses on a cost and benefits decision made by a person to maximise personal advantage and how laws and a consistent, robust justice system needed to ensure crime is less appealing. This theory focused on cognitive ability, leaning towards the predestined actor model, whereby rational choice and decision making is often dependant on a person’s psychological setup and as such a rational person with a different background and cognitive capacity may interpret the same situation differently than another person due to factors that don’t immediately present themselves. Cognitive behaviour programmes try and modify how a person thinks and acts to prevent them from offending or reoffending. The rational choice theory suggests that for an offence to take place a suitable target of an offence is needed,
Analysis what sense can you make of the situation Conclusion what else could you have done? Action Plan if it arose again what would you do? 2. Why is reflective practice important? Answer Reflective practice is important as it enables you to achieve a better understanding of yourself, your skills, competencies, knowledge and professional practice.
Nature of Logic and Perception as it Pertains to Critical Thinking If asked to define critical thinking, my response would be the ability to make a conscious decision in a crisis; however, after researching the definition of critical thinking I realize that it includes a combination of characterizations. Rationality, self-awareness, honesty, open-mindedness, discipline and judgment are a few characteristics as they relate to decision making (Kurland, 2000). These six characterizations are all relative to each other in critical thinking when one eliminates emotion, focuses on finding the best explanation without imposing personal views, and prohibits selfish motives and evaluates with reason. I believe that these characterizations could also be viewed as perceptual blocks that influence our view in critical thinking if the approach is reversed. This is where one gains a sense of logic and perception.
