Chapter 6 of the Cummings, T.G., Worley, 2019 – Organization Development and Change, 11th Ed textbook provides a summary overview of the ways in which a change agent or organizational development consultant can collect data about an organization. Ideally, data collection is intended to help identify and clarify a problem that needs to be addressed for continued organizational performance. One method of collecting data is the very familiar survey. I would like you (The Writer) to design your own survey instrument. Think of a situation at work (NASA Johnson Space Center Mission Operations, or Engineering Division) or at school (The University of Houston) that you think needs to change and design a data collection survey that would help you understand the problem. The entire design is up to you. Your discussion should briefly describe the situation and why it needs to change. You should identify what populations should be sampled and you should provide the questions you will ask. The survey has to have at least 5 questions, but no more than 10. This exercise aims to get a feel for how difficult it is to design a survey instrument that can uncover useful information about an organizational problem.

While learning about the many different theories of leadership this semester, our theme will be to challenge you to read critically, think critically, and lead critically. This assignment will be a two-page-paper where you will explain what you think it means to read, think, and lead critically. Then, elaborate how you feel you currently utilize these skills, how you will demonstrate these skills during the semester, and how you plan on applying these skills to your learning and leadership in your organizations and career in the future.

Hi — please read Chapter 12 of the book (Leedy, P. &. Ormond (2021). PRACTICAL RESEARCH: Planning and Design . London: Pearson Education Limited, 12th Edition) and fulfill the order. Students will have to add this section to the research design section of the report that they have already addressed
Method (refer to class notes)
1. Students must discuss the types data that is used in the study (qualitative and quantitative). They must also use the research terms that were reviewed in class – cross-sectional study, random sampling technique, design phases,
2. Illustrate and discuss the phases in your research paper.
Thanks.

To the writer: This is a “Packback Assignment” where you must first ask an “intriguing question (not super long, for this is your thesis statement) about what you have researched and provide supportive evidence or details from that research and how design components affect each other. Since I am an engineer, it could be based on engineering or whichever subject area the writer chooses to write about. Please check grammar, spelling, and sentence structure, and check the document for plagiarism, as PackBack will reject the writing. Packback also requires that we bold and italicize in various areas and provide a graphical picture or chart that would qualify as a media post.
Assignment:
Chapter 5 of the textbook “Organization Development and Change” discusses the process of understanding the organization and helping managers assess where change is needed either to take advantage of an opportunity (development) or to protect from threats (problems). The book describes three potential levels of diagnosis, the organization, the group and the individual. Further, the book uses an open systems model to describe organizations and each of these levels. An open systems model describes the inputs, the transformation process, the outputs and how it is all influenced by the environment and how the environment’s reactions to the outputs provides feedback to the organizational system. The transformation process has been characterized in the book as the design component. Choose any design component at any level of interest to you, and do some research on that component. Then consider how changing that component would change the whole and how that would impact a change effort.
For example, a design component at the group level is task structure. As an engineer, for example, how a task is structured is important to the outcome of your work. So do some additional reading on some of the ways that task structure is conceptualized. Then think about the ways that a change in task structure might affect the other design components (goal clarity, team functioning, group composition and group norms). Then further think about how that change might make group level change easier or more difficult.

Goal: Create a reflective 10 slide presentation that briefly summarizes what you have learned throughout this course.
Instructions:
Throughout the course, you have encountered definitions and theories related to leadership. You have also examined your organization and leaders through the Kouzes and Posner model and other relevant literature. As a final assignment, prepare a learning summary that incorporates the following:
1. Reflect on your definition of leadership. Has it changed? What has influenced the change or kept it the same? Reflect on 1-2 “Aha!” moments related to your eight-week study during this course.
2. What impact does the encounter with theoretical material have on your view of leadership relevant to your work in your organization?
3. What three recommendations do you propose for new or experienced leaders based on what you have assimilated into your understanding through this course.
4. Support your assertions, views, and recommendations with scholarly research. Note that four (4) outside scholarly sources are the minimum (your course textbook does not count).

Journal for class 1:
Reflect on the past units and share what you have learned about diversity. Share something you were not aware of before completing the course. What was the most exciting chapter/article you read, assignment you completed, or skill set you learned?
(I attached material to help with this journal)
Journal for class 2:
Explain the importance of teamwork in an organization. In your explanation, address the two types of self-directed work teams and the three generic team types and how an organization’s context of culture, structure, and systems supports teamwork.

There are many different models that are used to explain the process of organizational change. As a leader, your perspective on how the organization changes can impact the success of the change. You must remember that for an organization to make a change, individuals within the organization must transition from their current behavior to a new behavior. As a leader, your job is to help them understand why they need to change and how they can change.
With this in mind, we are going to explore the issues associated with culture and leading organizational change.
Choose a change that you would like to lead in your current organization or in another organization that you are involved with.
Describe the change and why you think it needs to change.
Which model of organizational change would help you to move forward with this change?
What challenges would you face at the individual and team level?
What guidelines would you combine with the model of organizational change you have chosen to successfully lead this change?
How would you take steps to create a culture that embraces change? [MO 1.1, 1.3, & 1.4]
Instructions to Learners
Locate and research at least two sources to discover additional information about your topic choice. Use your text to create a foundation for the theory. This must be a concise evaluation of the case, so provide information on your understanding of the application of theory to the marketing choices.
Develop your analysis using the four following sections:
Section 1: Introduction and situational analysis: Describe the change model(s), giving appropriate background information, that you would incorporate into a change initiative. This is also where you do your situational analysis – identifying factors related to the individual(s) involved (consider the readings from this module), company and managerial practices and policies, external factors such as economic pressure, and any other aspects of the situation that you believe helped create the current situation and affect the leader’s perspective.
Section 2: Analysis using change theory: Consider the theories that are appropriate in the chapters assigned to this module. Use those theories to analyze the situation you have defined and create a clear foundation for your view of the situation. Your opinions are important and useful but not sufficient to make a case for a specific course of action. The theory, models, and concepts that you find in your readings are what you must use to create a valid argument for your suggested course of action.
Section 3: Conclusion and recommendations: Up to now, you have been analyzing and comparing options. Here is where you pull together the different threads of your analysis and determine a course of action. Also, make recommendations about what the company should do in the future. Make sure your justifications clearly flow from your analysis. Make managerial and policy recommendations for future change endeavors.
Section 4: References: List at least two sources (in addition to the sources provided in the module and your text) where you located additional information to support your views.
General guidance: Include a title page, and label the four sections. Your paper should be 3-5 pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. Your paper and citations should be in APA Style. Double space your paper, use Times New Roman, 12-point font, with one-inch margins.
