Organization Climate

Organizational
Climate

There are two parts to this assignment – the
personal reflection and the scholarly analysis.

Part
1 – Pulse-taking: Organizational Climate

For this week, you are using a mental filter to assess
your organization. You want to “see” what people are doing, and
become aware of issues that may interfere with productivity or relationships. In
organizations, you should be able to “take the pulse” of your organization
through observation.
For this week’s assignment select an organization that
you are most familiar with (your place of employment, a civic organization, a
community organization.)
Write a paper with the below criteria:

1. Background
a. Provide a brief background on this organization
b. Provide an explanation of why this
organization is a good fit to include in this capstone final project.

2. Select an area that you, as a leader, would
be concerned about
In this part, select one area of concern that you, as
a leader, would have (for example, employee satisfaction, training, innovation,
lack of a staff development programs, etc.) and would need to be changed.

3. Leadership Behavior and Style
Compare and Contrast the different leadership behavior
and styles that would best suit minimizing your concern. Reflect
back over the courses you have taken in this leadership program to aid you in
determining which behavior and style you would subscribe to in this scenario to
improve the organizational climate.
Save this assignment to aid you in completing your Final
Project.
The requirements below must be met for your paper to
be accepted and graded:
a. Write
between 2 pages using Microsoft Word in APA style.
b. Use
font size 12 and 1” margins.
c. Include
cover page, in-text citations and References page (if applicable)
d. At
least 80% of your paper must be original content/writing.
e. No
more than 20% of your content/information may come from references.
Part 2 – Scholarly Articles
After you have completed Part 1 – Organizational
Climate, conduct scholarly research and analysis. These five articles will be
used for References page and in-text citations for the final
project.
Using EBSCOhost, explore the leadership literature
regarding ethical codes, professional misconduct, and leadership approaches
that relate to your Part 1- Organizational Climate.

Find at least three
articles published within the past five years for this annotated
bibliography.

Your task is to prepare an annotated bibliography of
these three articles.
An annotated bibliography consists of the APA
style citation of the article, a brief overview of the authors’ credentials, a
summary of the article, and your notes about how this article is useful (i.e.
how you intend to apply the information you gleaned).
Remember that our underlying objective is for you to
become familiar with the current literature of the field (as a professional
must do to keep abreast of current trends), and to apply what you have learned.
The annotated bibliography should be approximately 5
pages in length.
