Human Resource Discussion Assignment | Essay Help Services

Using Chapter 14, Exercise 1, select an issue that has been a concern or problem for people in your organization. The main requirements are that it should be an issue that is important to you, and one that has been raised before but never adequately resolved. (NOTE: If you are not currently in a work situation, consider a scenario in your campus community, or a recent past work situation.)

Refer back to Figure 14.2 and the discussion of force field analysis in section “Diagnose the Environment,” and answer the following questions:

What is the current situation? Why is it a problem for people in your organization?
What is your ideal situation, that is, what is the ideal or goal for what you would like to see in this situation?
What are the forces for change, that is, what forces could lead to your ideal situation?
What are the forces against change, that is, the forces preventing change?
For the forces you listed in steps 3 and 4, evaluate each one in terms of importance to the situation. Rate each force on a scale from 1 to 10, with a 10 rating for any force that is extremely strong and a 1 rating for any force that is extremely weak.
For the situation you have selected, take the most important forces from step 5 and construct a figure similar to Figure 14.2.
Looking at your figure, which side has the stronger forces? What does this suggest about the likelihood of change in this situation?
Suppose that the forces against change are stronger than the forces for change. To change this situation, you need to either increase the forces for change or decrease the forces against change. What specific recommendations would you make for you or other employees to increase the likelihood for a positive change to occur in this situation?
