...Jean Watsons: Daily goals for Intensive Care Unit Ventilated patients Brea Blais Southern New Hampshire University Advanced Nursing Concepts Dr. Bladen May 13, 2015 Jean Watsons: Daily goals for ICU Ventilated patients An estimated 85% of errors occur in care when communication is not clear (Pronovost et al., 2003). When Nurses or doctors do not know how to properly care for their patients, then these patients cannot recover in an appropriate time frame (Pronovost et al., 2003). “At baseline less then ten percent of nurses and residents understand the goals of care for the day”(Pronovost et al., 2003, para. 2). After the implementation of a daily goals worksheet 95% of nurses and residents understood the goals of care for the day, length of stay was decreased, and other critical care patient problems were decreased. (Pronovost et al., 2003). Jean Watson’s human caring theory was the foundation of the daily goals, created in Johns Hopkins Hospital, in 2003. The daily goals sheet was developed in a 16 bed surgical oncology ICU to improve patient outcomes by improving communication between the members of the healthcare team (Pronovost et al., 2003). Transpersonal relationships and a caring relationship were used when creating the Daily goals sheet (Fawcett & DeSanto Madeya 2013). Daily goals were used in the ICU setting, with any patient population that may present to the ICU with an acute or chronic problem (Fawcett & DeSanto Madeya 2013). Content and format of...

...motivational theory used by Mary Ellen Sheets was the goal setting theory. When using the goal-setting theory, employees are motivated when they have a specific goal to complete. Mary Ellen sheets set these goals and encouraged her franchises. Her goal was to have all the franchises have a good experience considering that this is an industry known to cause stress. Two Men has a computer lab where the franchisers are able to check their colleagues spending patterns as well as communicate with each other. This allows them to see what is working and what is not, to help them to be successful. Mary Ellen Sheets business approach to creating high-performing teams within the company was to create consistency within the company. She created Stick Men University, which allowed the franchise owners as well as their employees to learn everything that she has learned. This includes learning the basics such as answering a prospective client’s first call to shaking their hand after the job is completed. Mary Ellen Sheets went as far as building a two-story house at the University to help the franchise owners and employees simulate moving challenges and work through them. After reading the case study Siemens, I have concluded that the motivational theory used by Klaus Kleinfeld was the job enrichment theory. When using this theory, employees who have control over how they performed their job or how they manage their job, are motivated to work better. Klaus Kleinfeld negotiated...

...types of theories found in case studies, which are known as Maslow’s hierarchy theory, expectancy theory, goal-setting theory, management by objectives (MBO), equity theory, and job enrichment theory. After reviewing the five different theories I have review the two articles for a case study to determine the theories the businesses used. “Two Men and a Lot of Trunk” article; I believe the owner Mary Ellen Sheets was using the Maslow’s hierarchy theory. Mrs. Sheets was just trying to help her son’s out to begin with; then after they no longer wanted to do the moving business, she kept receiving inquires about local moves that made here buy a trunk for moving people. I see it as Mrs. Sheets kept this company going for her own psychological needs to be satisfied. It made here proud when she knew people were being treated with respect and getting what they pay for. While Mrs. Sheets began to run this company and providing a service to move people she saw great respect and provided her with psychological rewards. Mrs. Sheets saw a great need for moving locally. By providing a good respectful service that was helping people and in return satisfied her needs to feeling appreciated with respect, therefore this case study could also be the expectancy theory. Mrs. Sheets approach to creating high-performing teams within the company was with rewards and proper training. One of Mrs. Sheets statements was she wanted her movers to treat all the customers as they would their grandmothers; with...

...Kaplan University Lei has noticed a glitch within the time sheet of one of the associates at a Sandwich Blitz location that she did not like. After doing investigation she found out that a team supervisor has been allowing this associate to claim unworked hours on his/her pay check each pay period. This is not a good thing for the company because this associate claiming unworked hours means this associate is steal from the company and someone who know prevent this from happening is allowing this behavior to carry on. After looking over the information in the hand book Lei notices that this practice was not covered for the company workers to know the penalty of an action such as this one. This issue is a control issue therefore the company hand book needs to be updated with a section to handle these issues, also inform employees of the do’s and don’ts to prevent another situation like this. Control systems detect and correct significant variations, or discrepancies, in the results of planned activities (Bateman and Snell 2013). For Dalman and Lei to build and effective control system they need to follow the 4 step of building a control system, the first step is “setting performance standards”. They already have a performance standard which is the handbook that they created with the first location they had goals they just need to update those goals. The books needs to be modified, Lei would have to set quality goals in this situation, she is trying to build structure within the...

In the first case study, The Two Men and a Truck, the motivation theories used by Sheets were Maslow’s needs hierarchy theory, the expectancy theory, and the job enrichment theory. Originally, Sheet’s motivation was to assist her two sons part-time moving business attract more customers. By doing this, Sheets was using the Maslow’s needs hierarchy theory because she was focused on her sons’ physiological needs of earning income. Because she did not want to reject the business call, she decided to take advantage of the orders she was still receiving. Sheets saw a demand for a localized moving company. After her last child completed college, the expectancy theory applies because she believed that she had a service that would serve the needs of other individuals to begin their own business by creating a franchise opportunity. She believed that she possessed the ability, self-efficacy, to create the moving franchise opportunity. By creating this opportunity for others to reward for their work efforts and efficiencies, she empowers the job enrichment theory. Her approach to creating a high-performing team was to provide a personal touch, provide excellent customer service, and comprehensive training. The second case study, Kleinfeld of Siemens, represents the motivational theories of Maslow’s needs hierarchy, goal setting, and expectancy. Kleinfeld is motivated by his need for self-actualization when he planned to speed production at Siemens’...

...theories from Ch. 7 (i.e. Maslow’s, Expectancy Theory, Goal-Setting Theory, Equity Theory, Job Enrichment Theory) which are found in each case study Describe these theories you identified in the case studies and cite specific examples of how they were used. What was each business owner’s approach to creating high-performing teams within their company? The motivation theories used in Two Men and a Lot of Trucks are the Expectancy Theory and the Equity Theory. With having the motto “To treat others as you would want your Grandma treated.” the company is expecting the owners and employees to treat customers with respect as well as their belongings, therefore causing the customers to be satisfied and to refer other friends to use the services of Two Men and a Truck. With the Equity Theory the company has set up a computer lab where franchisees can compare data of other franchisees and communicate about what is working and what is not. Mary Ellen Sheets approach to creating high-performing teams was to be the best out there. She came up with a moving company to move clients within city limits or short distances, and by charging by the hour instead of by the pound. She also made sure everything was spotless and her employees were in clean uniforms. She guaranteed the work done, and followed up with any complaints that were made and resolved them. The motivation theories used in Siemen’s New Boss are Goal-setting theory, Management by objectives (MBO), and the Maslow’s...

...Unit 6 Assignment MT140 Introduction to Management Matthew Guccione Prof. Suzanne Ness In the case of Dalman and Lei discrepancy of the time sheet this can be resolved by using none other than a control system called bureaucratic control system. First to implement this system they must first understand what this system means. It is designed to measure progress toward a set goal and to apply corrective measures to ensure this goal is met. In other words control system is to detect and fix certain variables and discrepancies turning into results of the ultimate goal. This process is broken down into four parts. Setting a performance standards, Measuring performance, comparing performance again the standards and determining deviations, and at last taking action to correct the problems and reinforce successes. So how can Dalman and Lei change the handbook to ensure a discrepancy can't occur again with filling out timesheets? They start with step one. Setting a performance standard which is basically a general statement of a expected goal that is benchmarked by the company. So let's say that Lei implements a new way to track and report time sheets. For example lets use a ID card that is given to the employees so they can scan the ID card was they walk in the building and this will trigger a time of when this employee has walked into building and officially working for the company. This process alone eliminates timesheets done...

...3 Managerial Decision Making: Sherman's Business Course Barbara E. Walvoord Loyola College in Maryland A. Kimbrough Sherman Loyola College in Maryland This chapter begins the discussion of the four classes the research team studied. A. Kimbrough Sherman's production management course is a required course which deals with the operational aspects of a business, such as what goods and services it provides, where it locates, and how it organizes resources, people, and processes. The course has two major thrusts: (1) strategic and tactical decision making and (2) standard (mostly quantitative) decision techniques. Writing in Sher- man's course was directed at the strategic and tactical areas. We (Walvoord and Sherman) collaborated in gathering the data and writing the chapter with generous help from McCarthy and other team members, who helped to shape the study, check data, and critique chapter drafts. Like the other classroom chapters that follow, this chapter addresses our research questions (p. 4) through an examination of Sherman's expectations and each of the six areas of difficulty we constructed for all the classrooms, focusing on how Sherman's methods and the students' strategies appeared to have affected the difficulties. (We follow the basic organizational pattern we outlined on p. 15. Our definitions of difficulties and strategies appear...

...Motivation and Teams Case Study It is imperative for companies to motivate employees so they can achieve success for the company they work for and for themselves. According to Introduction to Business, work motivation is the “psychological force within people that arouses their interest, directs their attention, and causes them to persist and work intensely to find a way to achieve their work goals” (Jones, 2007, p. 210). Maslow’s needs hierarchy, expectancy, goal setting, equity, and job-enrichment are five theories that illustrate various sources of employee motivation. In the first case study, Two Men and a Lot of Trucks, the owner, Mary Ellen Sheets used Maslow’s needs hierarchy theory. This theory specifies why and how people try to satisfy their needs through their behaviors at work. Sheets was helping her two sons with the moving business, but when they left for college, she continued to receive moving inquires. Rather than turning down business, she kept the company going to fulfill her own psychological needs. She felt great pride in her ability to provide a service where her clients were being treated with respect and got what they paid for. She understood that moving had a negative reputation, which is why her company put a premium on customer service. For example, “Sheets put her movers in uniforms and gave them business cards, charged by the hour instead of weight, and paid for any damage to be fixed” (Jones, 2007, p. 234). The company’s mission statement...

... Personal Responsibility Correlated to Academic Success There are many elements in the formula to be successful at the collegiate level. The most important of these elements is personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is the awareness that oneself is personally in control of all their successes and failures and their personal motivation determines how much success they will achieve. Every decision a person makes has a consequence. The self-evaluation of ourselves will bring the awareness of the consequences associated with our decisions. This awareness will allow us to make decisions where success will be the only outcome. College success requires persistent motivation, and the responsibility to choose, to work hard. Students are more likely to achieve the motivation required for their academics if they can attribute their successes to internal factors they perceive to have control of. (Learning-Theories Knowledgebase , 2008) A student who worked hard on a paper they received a good grade on is likely to attribute this success to the amount of effort they used. Since effort is an internal factor that many perceive they can control then they will be motivated to duplicate that effort again...
