    ...CASE STUDY SOLUTION The Carter Cleaning Company Ahmed Ali ID: 11901 Chapter 4: Job Analysis Continuing Case: The carter cleaning company: The job description 1. What should be the format and final form of the store manager’s job description? Answer: The format noted in figure 4-6 could be a reasonable format to use. Students may recommend that Jen should include a “standards of performance” section in the job description. This lists the standards the employee is expected to achieve under each of the job description’s main duties and responsibilities, and would address the problem of employees not understanding company policies, procedures, and expectations. In addition, students may recommend that Jennifer instead take a competency-based approach which describes the job in terms of the measurable, observable, behavioral competencies that an employee doing that job must exhibit. Because competency analysis focuses more on “how” the worker meets the job’s objectives or actually accomplishes the work, it is more worker focused. 2. Was it practical to specify standards and procedures in the body of the job description, or should these be kept separately? Answer: They do not need to be kept separately, and in fact both Jen and the employees would be better served by incorporating standards and procedures into the body of the description. The exception to this would be if the standards and procedures are so complex or involved that it...

    ...Case Study Case study methods involve   Systematically gathering enough information about a particular person, social setting, event, or group to permit the researcher to effectively understand how it operates or functions. Case studies may focus on an individual, a group, or an entire community and may utilize a number of data technologies such as life stories, documents, oral histories, in-depth interviews, and participant observation. Types of case studies Stake (1995) suggests that researchers have different purposes for studying cases. He suggests that case studies can be classified into three different types: intrinsic, instrumental, and collective Intrinsic case studies   Intrinsic case studies are undertaken when researcher wants to better understand a particular case. It is not undertaken primarily because it represents other cases or because it illustrates some particular trait, characteristic, or problem. Rather, it is because of its uniqueness or ordinariness that a case becomes interesting. Instrumental case studies Instrumental case studies provide insights into an issue or refine a theoretical explanation.  The intention is to assist the...

    ...Introduction To Human Resource Management Case Application 4-B: Off The Job Behaviors October 3, 2013 1. Do you believe Oiler’s employee rights were violated? Explain your position. a) After reading this case yes I believe that Mr. Oiler’s employee rights were violated for a number of reasons. For starters the case did not provide any evidence that proved that his personal life behavior affected his performance at work. The case study did not mention anything about Mr. Olier cross-dressing at work or doing so while spending time with fellow employees. What Mr. Olier chose to do during his personal time did not affect his job in any way according to this study. In fact it was shown that he was a good employee with a great reputation and work ethic. On another note I also believe that Mr. Olier’s right to have a personal life was violated by his former employer. I say this because employees all over the world may engage in certain activities that may not be appropriate for the workplace, however they keep them very separate. In doing this is how we have a work-life balance, what happens in the office should remain professional and benefit the company. Just as what happens at home or after work hours etc. should remain personal. This remains true as long as employees aren’t representing the company by wearing a company uniform etc. personal time should be just that…personal time....
