...Self-Evaluation: Employees are sometimes asked to evaluate themselves. It seems logical that individuals would be the best judges of their own performance, particularly if supervisors cannot observe them on a regular basis. If employees are asked to evaluate themselves, they may respond by becoming more motivated and involved in the evaluation process. Self-ratings tend to show more leniency error than supervisor ratings, although halo errors are lower.32 Self-evaluation have become popular as a part of the management by objective process, when the superior and the subordinate jointly evaluate goal attainment. Self-evaluation seems most appropriate when it is used as an employee development tool rather than to make administrative decisions.32 It may also serve as an important input into a supervisory appraisal. An employee’s self-appraisal may provide important of which the superior was not aware. The supervisor can then factor this information into his performance ratings of the employee Peer Evaluation: Peer or co-worker evaluations are more stable over time, are better able to distinguish effort from performance, and focus more on task-relevant abilities. One study has concluded that peer ratings may be the most accurate evaluations of employee performance.32 Peer evaluations can be particularly useful when supervisors do not have the opportunity to observe an individual’s performance, but fellow employees do. Peers sometimes resist evaluating one another. An individual...

...k N427 Midterm Self Evaluation 1. Perform assessments and analyses at the individual/family, community, and systems levels of practice. I’ve met the objective of performing assessments and analyses at the individual/family, community, and systems levels practice in many ways. The assessment and analyses at the individual/family level has been a little more difficult, due to the work I do at my clinical site. I’ve assessed behaviors of children and adults that I’ve worked with and reflected on why they may be acting the way they’re for example, I assisted Holly, a WSU employee, teach nutrition at an elementary school. At the beginning of the class, I observed one of the children, being disruptive, and distracting his other classmates. The teacher...

...Overall, I thought my speech was good. Definitely room for improvement and I realized a couple things that I need to work on. I was a little nervous, but that could have just been because of the amount of coffee I drank. So, yes I was nervous but I did enjoy giving the speech at the same time. When I went back to my seat I immediately felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I was a little thrown off with the note cards I must say. I kept on looking to that particular corner of the room because I was paranoid. I thought I made it as clear as I could have when informing about my thesis, main points and supporting material however I would like to see my peer evaluation from someone who knew little or nothing about the topic before the speech. I would rate my speech at a 7/10 (10 being the highest) just because I know I can do better. I feel like I wasn’t as organized as I should have been. I felt like I crammed everything in towards the end just to stay within my time boundaries. At the same time, I think I accomplished my goal pretty well for my first informative speech. I understand it is a learning experience and I am excited to give my next one. I recall having a good tone of voice and making sure that I was clear as well as making good eye contact. I do remember in class when preparing for the speech to remember to get the audience involved to the questions I asked in the speech came in handy. Overall I thought that I delivered my message well. Things that I know...

...“What is your topic?” My topic is “Child behavior is worse today than it was ten years ago”. “What are the possible different main claims/positions related to this topic?” The possible different main claims/positions related to this topic are agreeing that child behavior is worse today, disagreeing that they are worst and also being neutral all with argumentative reasoning. “What is your position regarding the topic?” I agree that child behavior today is worse than it was ten years ago with argumentative reasoning. “What ‘evidence’ have you offered to support your claim/position? Have you included your survey results?” The evidence offered to support my claim/position is through conversations I have had with others on the subway, at work, at the beauty salon and just about everywhere I travel, also through my research of study on the subject. Yes, I have included my survey results. “Put your claim/position and “evidence’ through the ‘Scientific Method’ and ‘Proving a theory’ steps. Are there any steps on which your claim/position and evidence do not measure up to the examination? If so, what can you do to make them more acceptable?” Providing evidence through the ‘Scientific Method’ has measured up to the examination. However the steps to ‘Proving a theory’ may give you the evidence to have a strong case but not actually proof that your theory has been proven. There will most likely be other evidence that will give your audience or viewers a different perspective on...

...Work Environments That Negate Counterproductive Behaviors and Foster Organizational Citizenship: Research-Based Recommendations for Managers Katherine M. Fodchuk Department of Psychology Old Dominion University Past research has identified both employee characteristics and aspects of the work environment that can serve as antecedents to positive and negative workplace behavior. This article reviews research identifying the major factors that prompt both counterproductive work behaviors (CWB) and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). The dynamics of these relations are discussed, and possible approaches for workplace diagnosis and interventions designed to negate CWB and foster OCB are offered. A special focus on the implications of and possible interventions incorporating organizational justice are also presented. In the past several years, organizational behavior literature has benefited from a growing body of research that has moved beyond investigations of task performance and ventured into other performance domains of counterproductive work behavior (CWB) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB; Conlon, Meyer, & Nowakowski, 2005; Dalal, 2005). This research has revealed both employee characteristics and aspects of the work environment that can serve as antecedents to such positive or negative behavior. For instance, studies have examined organizational factors such as job design (Tompson & Werner, 1997), organizational injustice (e.g., Aquino...

...In my speech to explain, I spent a lot of time researching about Social Networking. I also spent a lot of time preparing, timing, and searching for various sorts of research. I found a lot of different and interesting types of information and looked at it closely so I knew what I was talking about. For instance, I used a lot of search engines and different websites to explain different types of social networking and what social networking was about a long with how it is used in businesses. I tried not to practice too much to sound like I was memorizing the speech but I thought I thoroughly knew it well. I tried to make it an interesting speech by adding information that people didn’t really understand in the past. Such as how it is beneficial to most people on using social networking in the working area or when you have a business. I used simple language so the audience could clearly understand what I was talking about and not go into words that they wouldn’t understand. To develop and organize the speech: I pointed out the main topic as to what I was going to be talking about. I know people know a lot about social networking but in some cases of my speech there were certain topics that most people wouldn’t understand or know about. I thought my introduction and delivery was pretty good. I believe I had good rate, volume and posture. One thing I did notice was the eye contact and wish I didn’t look down at my note cards so much because I know for a fact I knew the speech...

...Human Behavior is critical to organizations. Benefits of self-evaluation/self- assessment as it relates to leaders today. Leadership is all about people. Effective leaders have strong ability to create a compelling vision and lead people to the achievements of goals. Irrespective of whether you are an experienced leader or new and feeling uneasy in a leadership role, one of the key knowledge one should possess is knowledge of self. Leaders are influential. This fact makes the understanding of how exactly the leader effects his followers a vital part for the leader’s and organization success. Knowing oneself is the first step to such understanding. Numerous studies on leadership attributes, be it personality traits, skills or knowledge provide us with a rich coverage of what makes a good leader. Leaders must be visionary, charismatic, curious, creative, competent, empathetic, courageous, have good communication skills and exhibit common sense (Lee Iacocca’s 9C’s), relentless in execution, intellectually and emotionally intelligent. There is hardly anyone that can get the highest scores in all the dimensions. That is where the self-awareness takes the prime part. Self-assessment and evaluation are the exercises that can increase leader’s self-awareness in different areas, from values and personal style to impact on others and own strengths and limitations. Let’s consider some of the areas for self-assessment and evaluation benefits for the leader. Authenticity There were...

...Self-Evaluation Journal I. “Speaking from a Bag”: Overall, I did an okay job. I was been able to overcome my fear of speaking in front lots of people. The audience paid good attention when I was doing the speech. If I have another chance to do the speech, I will do better on the part attention gather, speak more loudly and clearly. I would maintain the good eyes contact. II. Commemorative Speech: I did not do well on this speech because of the content of the speech. I most likely like an information speech than a commemorative speech. During the speech, I was using so many of “ah uhm”. I would more carefully prepare the speech with the right topic. I would keep the cute style of delivering the speech and good eyes contact. I had improved a little bit on the voice and the volume when I speak. III. Demonstration Speech: I did a best demonstration. The audience paid good attention when I was doing the speech. I have a little problem that I didn’t make eyes contact for a while when I was more concentrate on the cooking. I would pay more attention on the eyes contact next time I do my speech. I have prepared well for the speech. I was nervous because I have to talk while demonstrate the cooking. This speech is the most perfect one that I did over all. IV. Delivery Video Clip: It was a short speech but I did a pretty good job on preparing a good video clip. The right video clip of a little speech of the good speaker. V.

...ISPE Self Evaluation My first goal was to pass my Novice Moves in the Field Test with at least 0.3 points over the average. I recently tested the moves, and I didn't pass. One of the judges passed me, while the other two failed me with anywhere from 0.1 to 0.3 points under. My coach and I have discussed when I should retake the test, and we have agreed on sometime in the beginning of the next school year. Until then, we will go more in-depth for the moves, and break them down further so I can pass with confidence next time. My second goal was to be able to hold my spin for the needed number of rotations in my program. I am now able to do that very nicely and very consistently, and the tuck portion of the spin is now very stable. Now that the competition season is over, I want to continue working on spins, so my new goal is to be able to do a “haircutter” spin, and hold it for at least five rotations. To reach this goal, I need to stretch, as the position in the spin requires flexibility, and practice....

...In the section for the interpretation of my creative piece, the group that looked at my piece commented on power imbalance and appearance vs reality. These were both elements I intentionally conveyed though different creative elements including scale and colour. However, I am unsure where the idea that Macbeth is anxious came from. This was not something I intended to convey in my piece. Next, in “The Good” section size difference, colour, appearance vs reality, and the black colouration of Lady Macbeth’s eyes were all mentioned. I believe that these were all some of the stronger aspects of my creative piece. In the concerns section, there were a variety off different concerns expressed. In this sections there were ratings added that were...

...When I heard I was going to Utah I felt out of character. Most of my life I never thought I could exceed the “norm”. But when I was offered this chance to further enrich my knowledge on debate and debate topics, I completely jumped on board. Utah, I would have to say was one of the most stressing, tiring, and sleepless things I have ever been a part of. Even when I say all of this, It was extremely fun. But when I take the time and rewind all the effort and encouragement that we have put in and gotten, it really touches my heart. First and foremost, I would like to thank Mrs.Mcaleer my debate coach . Mrs.Mcaleer has been a second mother to me, she has kept me under her wing until it was my day to fly. She pushed me to do more even when I thought I couldn't. Mrs.Mcaleer has gave me a stepping stone that I will never forget. Second person I would like to thank is Ms.Keith, I must say Ms.Keith has brought lots and lots of fun on the trip. From debating in the car, to having very heartfelt conversation. I would like to thank her because she accompanied me on this great journey along with my fellow debaters. My fellow debaters have really tied the strings in for me. Now all my debaters very excellent but the ones I roomed with pretty much made my whole trip. I am going to start with my bestfriend of 9 years, Keara. She pushed me through the whole thing. Now even though she is extremely tough on me she means well. Now I would like to say thank you to her because she basically was my...

...Performance Review To: Public Defender From: Assistant Public Defender Date: November 23, 2010 ------------------------------------------------- Re: Personal Performance Review, August 2009 to present Congratulations on your recent landslide election win. I enjoyed working for Mr. Job’s office and I look forward to serving you as the newly elected Public Defender. Since leaving the State Attorney’s Office to further my career as a defense attorney, I zealously advocated for every one of my clients at every stage of representation. As you move forward, you will need attorneys to fill key positions in your organization. I will discuss in detail my key accomplishments that make me a perfect candidate for one of these positions. Trials Since starting at the Public Defender’s office in August I have focused on trials. In a little over three months I conducted seven jury trials. As you know, this is well above average for the office. The average Assistant Public Defender in this circuit averages one trial per quarter. My trial performance is exceptional in another respect, each of these seven trials resulted in a not guilty jury verdict. I obtained diverse trial experience as the charges at each trial were different. I defended against resisting arrest, fraud and theft, driving crimes, as well as violent crimes. The defenses presented at trial were also varied, from an alibi defense, to an identification defense and to just pulling a rabbit out of the hat....

...Determination this is my biggest. When I was in middle my twin brother and I were told we had a learning disability. Thinking about it now we did not, we were just young kid who grow up in a community which had drug dealer, gang violence etc. So with a poor education system at our disposal when we moved to a community where education that was taken serious we weren't prepare. So me and my brother decided to prove them wrong. We increased how much we read. We started to improve our pronunciation, we knew we had no disabilty. During middle school and high school we excelled in our remedial courses. During 10th grade we were exit the remedial program and placed in standard class, but we were in 9th grade class I was allowed to have a teacher aid present in class. I did not use the teacher aid because I was to proud. I knew what I was capable of doing, I knew my brother and I weren't "special need" students, and I knew in order for this label to be remove we had to work hard to show them. From remedial classes to standard class my grades did not suffer nor my brothers. We begun placing bets on who can get a 4.00gpa(I won) each semesters. By 12 grade I had caught up with my class, I am often told by my twin that I should have a higher graduating GPA if I stayed focused my senior, he's right. I lost focus that year and the years after high school during my first attempt at a community college. During my first try at college I was not successful. I did not know what to do, I was too...
