ASSIGNMENT 3 – WORST COWORKER
This assignment asks you to consider a current or past co-worker who has low levels of either job performance, organizational commitment, or both. You are asked to draw on concepts from the course to explain exactly why this co-worker is so ineffective, and how you and his/her supervisors might react, given that knowledge.
DETAILS ON WORST COWORKER
Your paper can focus on either a current co-worker or a past co-worker. The co-worker should be a real person. Moreover, some portions of the paper work better if the co-worker is of a similar hierarchical level to you–as opposed to a boss or a supervisor. The assignment should include the following three sections:
Background – Describe the co-worker. Give enough detail that it is clear why you feel the way you do about this person, with enough richness that the section “brings the person to life” for the reader. Feel free to omit any details that might be sensitive in nature.
Explanations – Drawing on key terms from Chapters 4, 7 and 9, provide an explanation of why, in your estimation, this employee has low levels of job performance and/or organizational commitment.
Recommendations – Describe what the top managers or leaders in the company could do, very specifically, to improve the performance and/or commitment of your co-worker. Then describe what you, personally, could do to make this co-worker more effective.
Finally, answer the following questions: Is this employee a “problem that cannot be fixed” to some extent? If so, describe what the top managers or leaders in the company could do to avoid similar problems in the future.
