The assignment's purpose is for students to explore and apply OB concepts outside of the class setting. Each student's report will be somewhat unique because it is based on what they discovered by completing the exercise. Discussions will likely reflect what they found interesting and important about the topics they're learning about. Exercise B - Finding and Understanding Emotional Cues The main OB topics for Exercise B include perception, emotions, attitudes, motivation, and communication. Here's how: Do the exercise first. Then think about how you'd answer the questions (reflect). Find out more (look up info in your textbook \& research articles). Reflect some more. Write your reflection paper. The exercise: Spend some time (a day or two, perhaps) looking for and noticing emotional cues in the people with whom you interact. What did you perceive or notice about their and your motivation or communication style? Then jot down the details of what you noticed. Then, think about and jot down notes on the following questions: - What types of emotional cues did you notice? What do you think was going on for the other person/people? What was going on for you? - What emotions do you think might be related to those cues? Were the emotions subtle or overt? Was it hard to figure out emotions or was it straightforward? - How might your perception, thinking, or mental models influence the cues you noticed, and what kind of meaning you made from those cues? - How might emotion (yours and theirs) have influenced your interaction in terms of communication, empathy, problem solving, teambuilding, or motivation? - Do you think your (and their) motivation or communication was impacted by your understanding of the situation? Now, review the textbook, (especially chapters 3,4,5 \& 9) looking specifically for the course concepts, theories, or frameworks that might help you make meaning about the cues you noticed. Reflective Discussion Paper: After you have explored emotional cues, and thought about how OB concepts might help you understand them, write a reflective discussion based on what you discovered. Include new insights you gained about perception, emotion, attitudes, and stress. Include relevant academic and professional research. Comment on how improving perception regarding emotion might influence an employee's on-the-job behaviour. Details on the reflective discussion paper: The reflective discussion paper is based on your findings. The paper should be 17002000 words of double-spaced well-edited content using APA style format. Make sure to apply course concepts, frameworks, and theories. You must use a minimum of 4 current, peer- reviewed journal articles, the textbook, and other quality professional sources to explain your findings and strengthen your report. Include in-text citations and a list of references. The questions above act as a guide for your reflection and thinking. However, the report should not be formatted in a question/answer style. Instead, write an integrated or a themed discussion on what you discovered. You may use "I" statements in your discussion.
