...overwhelming and more enjoyable. Academic stress occurs when students feel the pressure of cramming for exams, rushing through homework and getting minimal sleep because of disorganization and worry. Effective time management techniques should not only be applied to your academic life but to your overall schedule to achieve success and peace of mind. Other People Are Reading * How to Improve Time Management Skills as a College Student * Student Success Checklist 1. Stress Reduction * A study conducted by Dr. Ranjita Misra, Ph.D., and Michelle McKean and published by the American Journal of Health Studies found that stress levels decreased among students who managed their time well. Students who sought relaxation through parties and other social events still maintained a relatively high stress level, in spite of their efforts. The study also determined that the time-balanced students achieved higher grades, felt less anxiety over tests and were more confident in their academic performance overall. Furthermore, these students also fit a social life into their busy schedules, simply due to efficient and realistic time planning. Motivation * Students who find time management difficult tend to lack motivation. There are conflicting opinions regarding whether the lack of motivation stems from the frustration of feeling that there is not enough time available to study and attend classes, or if the lack of motivation was there to begin with, resulting in poorer...

...Andy Luker MW 12:00-1:15 Organizational Behavior Final 1. Combine John Kotter’s 8 steps of organizational change with Kurt Lewin’s 3 steps of organizational change. Give the name of one of John Kotter’s books that lists and describes his 8 steps. John Kotter’s 8 steps can be broken down and put under Lewin’s three steps. I would put steps one through four under Lewin’s unfreezing step. Kotter breaks this down further than just unfreezing. He starts with creating a sense of emergency and forming a team to look at change. If there is no sense of emergency, there is no sense of need to change. Forming a coalition allows more than one person to set new vision. Steps three and four are important in unfreezing because it sets the organization ready to move. By creating a new vision and casting the new vision you can have people get onboard with where you are about to take them. You cannot just move someone without them getting on board. As Kotter describes this in his book “Our Iceberg is Melting” you have to communicate this vision by keeping it simple and through repetition. Next, steps five through seven can be placed under Lewin’s step of Movement. This is where you take the organization and implement the change. First you empower those in the organization. This may be accomplished by giving jobs to people and set responsibilities that allow them to be part of the change, and not just being forced to change. Next, you create short-term goals. This helps the group by letting...

...Assignment 3: Job Post By: Leticia Ross Leadership and Organizational Behavior Strayer University Professor: Dr. A. Golding Abstract This paper seeks to apply the concepts of Motivation, Stress and Communication to real life processes through creation of a Job posting for a desired job. The job posting will be analyzed and interpreted to see how motivation, Stress and Communication can impact an employees self-efficacy as well as desire to try. Motivation can be influenced by Internal and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested and committed to a job, role or subject or to make an effort to attain a goal. “Motivation results from the interaction of both conscious and unconscious factors such as the (1) intensity of desire or need, (2) incentive or reward value of the goal, and (3) expectation of the individual and of his or her peers. These factors are the reasons one has for behaving a certain way”. Motivation comes in many forms but it is necessary for the completion of many tasks within a job or the process of applying for the job. “Stress is mental, physical, or social, force or pressure that put real or perceived demand on the body, emotions, mind, or spirit, and which (when it exceeds the stress-handling capacity of the individual) lead to a breakdown”. Stress can interfere with the way an individual function on day-to-day bases. It can also cloud ones judgment making it hard for them...
