Perceptual bias occurs as a result of our brain taking shortcuts in the processing of information. According to Nahandi et al. (2015), “our mind will ignore information that does not fit our expectations or make assumptions based on perceptions rather than objective facts” (p. 154). Unfortunately, these types of biases take place every day in the workplace. It is important to recognize when we use these preferences so that we can guard ourselves against these shortcuts in the future. One of the more common perceptual misconceptions is the stereotype bias, which I was guilty of using recently. In my ...

There are two scenarios. In one, a coworker asks me to become involved with an herbal health supplement home business. In the other, a coworker asks me to buy Girl Scout cookies. While these incidences may seem similar on the surface, they are very different, on further inspection. Selling herbal health supplements with a coworker is a breach of personal (and possibly ethical) conduct. Buying Girl Scout cookies is a benign action. Herbal health supplements may or may not actually help the people who take them. These supplements often aren’t regulated the same as other types of over the counter medications, and ...

7. A) My primary idea on a miscommunication between men and women often happens in a long-term relationship. At least, this is what I think after witnessing my parents interactions where this often a lack of words. My mother takes part in amateur demolition and renovation projects. My father, on the other hand, does not. He is usually MIA when it comes to picking up a hammer—myself included. When my mother renovated an apartment, she had hoped and expected that her enthusiasm would encourage her husband to join in. He did not. But my sister, without prompt, volunteered. My mother ...

There is a common saying regarding business negotiations that states that a good deal is one in which no one leaves the table happy. Much of the complexity of business negotiations comes from trying to compromise on the unimportant aspects of a potential deal, while maintaining the best possible outcome for the individual’s interests. The best possible outcome is not always accessible via ethical or moral channels, which is why the business world has strict ethical and moral standards for interactions between individuals, groups, companies, and corporations. These are not always followed, of course, but they exist to protect the ...

Article Critique: Dealing with Annoying Co-Workers

This article by Green (2011) suggested tactics for dealing with co-worker types that probably most of us have encountered at one time or another. The term “co-worker” suggests an office or industrial environment, but it’s a safe bet that the characters portrayed by Green could be an irritation in any environment where people congregate: in school, college, clubs, on sports teams, etc. You name it, they’ll be there somewhere!

Question 1

My worst experience with a toxic coworker was when I got my first job. In our department, we were grouped into five teams, and the “toxic coworker” was our team leader. Being new to this organization, I had to interact with team members to get acquainted with the organization’s culture. One thing I didn’t know was that I was the only person in our team with a degree; others, including the team leader, had diplomas. In the course of our interaction, the team leader asked me about my academic qualifications, and I innocently answered, not knowing that this was ...

Although individual pay incentives have shown to increase productivity, very few employees are covered by an individual incentive plan such as a commission plan or a piece rate plan (Zenger & Marshall, 1995). As such, companies implement merit increases that are based on various performance categories. In the same regard, this has led to an increase in the implementation of group-based incentive plans where group performance is rewarded instead of individual performance. This type of incentive plan is employed by most organizations as tasks are ...
