Critical reflective blogs for four OB topics covered in the subject

TASK
This assignment aims to complete critical reflective blogs for four OB topics covered in the subject. This assignment aims to enable you to highlight thoughts on each topic and demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered in this subject.

OB topics

In this assessment, you must reflect on four OB topics of your choice. You can choose from the following topics:

• Topic 4: Getting the right people
• Topic 5: Work and job performance and conditions
• Topic 6: Assessing, influencing, and rewarding performance
• Topic 7: Grouping individuals and behavior; Organisational change; Organisational culture
• Topic 8: Organisational processes and behavior
• Topic 9: Leadership
• Topic 10: Organisational justice and employee well being

A starting question for your reflection should be: What is the applicability and relevance of OB theory/model/concepts covered in the specific OB topic for me as a practitioner in my workplace? Discrepancies between theory and practice should be explored, and implications for your workplace should be identified.

For students who may not have work experience, you may use newspapers or academic journal articles that discuss an OB trend/issue in an existing Australian or international organization. Alternatively, you can research an organization of your choice and focus on the imagined influence this organizational context (about the specific OB topic) would have on you.
The structure of the reflection blogs should follow the following four steps to enhance the analytical aspect of the reflection process and to ensure the benefits of this assignment for you and your development in the organization:

1. Reflect on a workplace experience that is meaningful and important to you and your growth in the organization (reflection should draw on your personal observations, experiences, assumptions, and emotions).
2. Analyze the chosen situation by applying relevant OB concepts/theories/models from the appropriate Topic.
3. Develop a strategy for managing own or another employee (s) behavior to address the workplace situation.
4. Explain what you have learned about the relevant OB topic/yourself/others in the workplace due to this reflection exercise.

Each reflection needs to be based on three recent scholarly articles. As this is a reflection where you use your own experiences and views, your blogs should be written in the first person.
A quality reflection shows a deep critical analysis of workplace experiences by applying OB theories/models/ concepts. It provides deep insights into the practitioner’s practice.
This is an opportunity to express your voice on workplace trends that are important to you.
