As for screaming at employees from across the room, this is absolutely never okay. I do not understand why anyone would think that treating employees in this manner is alright. The obvious disadvantage to this type of leadership is having your employees transfer to different departments or just leaving the company. It will also have an effect on employee morale. Employees are going to be happier and work harder toward company goals when they have a supervisor who shows them they are a valuable asset to the company.
Stress, depression, and anxiety in the workplace, as well as at home, are more predominant than ever (Vesely, 2012, para.4). However, the main causes from this come from being employed in today’s competitive and unstable workforce. In order to bring this paradox full circle, a certain type of benefits program has evolved over time to help businesses keep the employees they have. It also keeps those employees productive and positive, whether it regards issues dealing with work, or life. This benefit program is known as the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
Motivation also relates to the majority of employees getting burnt out. They either do not have enough persistence to finish the jobs day after day or they truly may be over worked. According to McShane and Steen (2012) motivations are cognitive and emotional conditions that cause people to move. It is argued that “emotions are motivational catalysts: feelings of helplessness, hopefulness, pride, and guilt that arise from attributions that influence subsequent behaviour” (Jarvis & Seifert, 2002). According to the self-efficacy theory Jarvis and
They bring with these additional values into the workplace with high accomplishments and even higher expectations (Davies, 2007). This attitude frustrates and irritates. Army organization cannot afford to waste time and money by not investing in the potential that generation Y has to offer (Army Research studies, 2003). In addition, the Baby Boomers are leaving the workplace in increasing numbers. As Boomers leave a workplace that was designed around them, organizations are finding that this current workplace is at odds with the work expectations of generation Y who are in line to replace those retiring.
Introduction Burnout is a state of emotional overtiredness that occurs after performing stressful work for long period of time. Working as a nurse for an extended period without rest and dealing with stressful situations can easily cause burnout. According to Cherniss (1980), burnout is defined as “a process in which a previously committed professional disengages from his or her work in response to stress and strain experienced in the job” (as cited in Sherring and Night, 2009, p.1234). The people who are hard-working, idealistic and perfectionist are more likely to experience burnout than average people (Catalano, 2012, p.248). Burnout in nursing is one of the major problems that occur due to the shortage of staff members, variable shift works, dissatisfaction and stressors of workplace that can lead to physical, emotional, social and long-term career effects to the nurses.
Consider factors that promote and inhibit team working. Critically evaluate the performance management strategies employed to promote effective team working and on-going team development in relation to the issue. Finally discuss the learning that has taken place in relation to your potential as an effective leader/ manager of a team.The team I am part of got a new team leader, who was new and inexperienced, at the same time work load had doubled and the team was struggling to work together and felt abandoned with having a new team leader who they felt couldn’t handle the job.This caused the team to start to break down, miscommunications, added stress and mistakes were made…How it was Resolved:A senior manager staged a team building exercise/training, came as a neutral person and observed while the team and the team leader did a number of exercises.Including a; “what is working” and “What isn’t working” task on the board. What we didn’t like about the way the team was working and what we could do to change it and moved forward. Everyone got a chance to say how they felt and afterwards felt positive that we could work better with each other as a team.Result:The team worked with the new team leader as she settled in and became accustomed with the job.
Christina Maslach expanded the definition “Burnout is the index of the dislocation between what people are and what they have to do. It represents erosions in values, dignity, spirit, and will…It is a malady that spreads gradually and continuously over time, putting people into a downward spiral from which it’s hard to recover” (Maslach & Leiter, 1997, p. 17). Social Workers enter into the field with the thought that helping people is their calling, knowing that the financial rewards were few. The emotional satisfaction and appreciation would be reward enough; only if it were true, personal satisfaction will never be enough. Stress of an underfunded and client laden workplace leaves helping professionals emotionally helpless and underappreciated.
Most often people who chose this field tend to focus solely on other people’s well-being and ignore their own. This neglect can lead to alcoholism, depression, fears, and even suicide. The job of helping others is not easy filled with long hours and little or no recognition. The job hazards of a human service provider include physical, mental and emotional exhaustion, the development of negative self-concept, negative job attitudes, and a loss of concern and feelings for the client. These professionals should understand the importance of self-care to avoid burnout.
Project 1: Write a personal reflection that explains how you would go about managing your work priorities and professional development. In today’s world where consumerism is a fad, hectic schedules and busy lifestyle, everything comes in an instant, fast changing technology, family and work balance thus the list goes on… every employee has a very challenging role to keep up with the basics, that is to be a good role model without compromising integrity and credibility. Work ethics become an issue not just personally but globally if you read the news. Scandal is quite became fad in corporations leading to resigning their most powerful post. Thus, posing a very big challenge to us workers/employee how to maintain and remains a good role model.
They all need to have a more different attitude towards their workforce while trying to complete their goals and challenges toward fulfilling the company’s vision and purposes. The advantage out here is that the employees are already committed and loyal to the company therefore, if we study the company well enough, we can say that the company has amazing long standing rules and procedures, the people are punctual, they have a very calm workplace, and they are focused on making high-quality products price as reasonably as possible. But what the actual problem is, is that the company were losing employees because of their tight management control, and they prioritize systems and rules over the employee’s creativity. Therefore, what the company could do is, allow the workers to work in a more relaxed environment so that they can be as creative as possible. They could also recruit creative talent to help bring in new ideas to the team and strengthen the product development team.
