Discussion Ethical Considerations for Restraint and Physical Management
Behavior analysts work hard to ensure that they have carefully and ethically performed the required tasks to determine an intervention that offers the greatest potential for successfully dealing with a behavior. With most behaviors, interventions can be developed that are reasonable and less stressful for the individual to participate in. But what do you do if the individual is getting physical and injuring themselves or others?
In circumstances like this, potentially problematic interventions need to be considered, such as physically restraining or secluding the individual. When these serious interventions are considered, it is absolutely crucial to evaluate and re-evaluate ethical considerations as painstakingly as possible to ensure that the intervention can be implemented with the lowest risk for negative consequences.
For this Discussion, you will think about a situation involving restraint or another physical management technique, and you will discuss methods for implementing the technique in the most ethical manner possible.
To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources for this week, including the required weekly media programs, to gain an understanding of restraint and physical management. Note: It will be critical for you to review all the media for this week to complete this Discussion.

“Does corporate ever get tired of giving us special stuff to do?”
“It is the nature of modern HR,” Kimberly said, shrugging. “Change and transitions are all around us. To remain viable and relevant as a part of the company and as a field, we have to be ready to adapt.” Dana nodded in understanding.
“We have to do the research and then prepare talking points for the HR VP on which of the two areas we need to focus on for the next quarter and the quarter after that. She wants us to talk about contemporary performance appraisal approaches and the employee experience.”
The way that performance management and the employee experience are viewed today is very different from how it has been viewed the past. The performance appraisal in particular is being scrutinized, and in some cases, even rejected. However, we still need the content of the appraisal for many different reasons.
The concept of the employee experience is also being debated. It can mean different things to different people, so determining the right balance of options to create a positive experience is a challenge.
Today, performance management and the employee experience are being framed in very different ways from the past. The performance appraisal is being criticized and even rejected for good reasons. The challenge is that we still need the content of the appraisal for many different reasons. At the same time, many organizations and professional environments may have gotten to a point in the evolution of work that the use of traditional performance appraisals may have come to their natural end. However, there are still many organizational contexts and commercial settings where the old approach or something like it will be necessary.
The HR concept of the employee experience comes from the field of marketing and seeks to provide HR professionals and their clients a very different perspective of work and the workplace. This means many different things to different people. From well-conceived and executed onboarding processes, to access to good cuisine, an accommodating place to work, opportunities for advancement, work rotations, and personal growth. The challenge is to create the best possible experience for the employees in the organization, which will attract employees with high potential to make valuable contributions. Determining what makes work a positive experience by a significant majority is similar to benefits programs but from the view of demographic influences. There will be generational differences and lifestyle-oriented preferences.

Question Description: View this Ethical Dilemma to learn more about Bill and Joe’s relationship.
Joe has scheduled a meeting with his management team for next week to talk about the Peninsula Hotel chain contract. He hopes that he will be able to work with them to draft a contract favorable to Peninsula that will ensure its renewal for another year. He is reasonably sure that the contract renewal will ensure his continued success and employment with UWEAR. Bill invites Joe and his family to join them on his yacht for the weekend.
Joe is relieved to get the invitation from Bill because their relationship has been strained lately due to the contract negotiations.
Joe must decide how he will answer Bill’s invitation to join him and his family on their yacht.
Using ethical principles that you have learned thus far to justify your answers, please respond to the following questions in a paper of 500–700 words:
What are some reasons why Joe should turn down the invitation?
What are some reasons why Joe could accept the invitation?
Does Joe’s relationship with Bill meet the definition of a conflict of interest?

While Kimberly was at a medical appointment, Dana received a call from Stewart that concerned her. Stewart is one of the hiring managers who will be the supervisor of six of the 20 new employees they are working to recruit. He said he was in favor of going to universities to recruit the new employees, but he wanted them all to come from the same schools as the high performers in CapraTek. Dana did not say anything to Stewart and waited for Kimberly to arrive.
“Kimberly, one of the clients for our group of 20 positions, a supervisor from AR, called and said he would only support recruiting from a school that already had a high performer working in the company.”
“Oh, I bet it was Stewart Inflexi,” Kimberly replied. “He tends to want his way without the benefit of dialogue or taking the time to consult with others. I have had past work discussions with him.”
“What tactics did you use that worked the last time you had to tell him no?” Dana asked.
As Dana begins to gain greater levels of knowledge in HR as a career changer, Kimberly wants to ensure that Dana has a strong handle on areas of compliance. Compliance is key to the success of the organization and Dana’s performance as an HR professional. The compliance aspect of staffing is a serious matter with major organizational implications and an important area of responsibility and accountability for HR professionals in the field. All HR professionals work to become experts on federal laws, executive orders issued by the president, state and local laws, and applicable HR-related court rulings. All HR professionals also need to understand the regulations and enforcement agencies related to laws and executive orders.

Resources Available:
Reference material should be extracted from current periodicals or media (Library database, books, academic journals, professional magazines). If you find it necessary (consult with the faculty) to conduct primary data research, please do it in a professional manner: Set appointments and prepare questions. Do not forget that you are representing GIHE and that your image will open (or not) doors for your future colleagues!
INSTRUCTIONS
Scenario:
Using the library resources and the Internet, you should choose and research 1 topic among the 4 topics listed below. Marks will be given for a critical approach and the use of any evidence to support your work.
Topic 1:
Cost management is useful and requires skills from managers. In today’s economic climate with low demand forecasts, recommend solutions as to how you would save money, in both the short and long term, without reducing customer value and loyalty. Please use two examples from the hospitality industry in your work.
Topic 2:
Quality is key in business. Critically review 3 Quality Management (QM) models. Is there a model that ‘best fits’ hospitality? In other words, would the introduction of a QM strategy into hospitality enable companies to up performance and returns for all stakeholders? Make recommendations on how a small privately-owned hospitality company can develop its own quality systems and techniques. In your answer please show ‘lesson learned’ from larger corporations and other industries.
Topic 3:
How a business performs is a very important indicator. Robert G. Eccles has given academics the ‘performance manifesto’ with a view of changing management perception of performance. Evaluate his arguments whilst commenting on the use of Corporate Social Responsibility policies that have become very popular today. Would you recommend, with full justifications, CSR development in the hospitality industry? Are companies fully CSR or is it just marketing hype?
Topic 4:
Analyze Engel’s generic decision-making model and state its usefulness for hospitality managers. In other words, does it give true insight into the decision-making process for service industries? During these hard-economic times how are hospitality companies making sure their customers stay loyal? What future service trends will develop to attract customers?

RESEARCH PAPER ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
Please refer to theArticle Submission Assignment from the beginning of the course to complete the Research Paper Assignment. Please follow and format your paper accordingly.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
In the beginning of this course, you submitted a scholarly, peer-reviewed article for approval. For this research paper, you will discuss the importance of that article in regards to organizational behavior while using the problem-solving, integrative framework learned in Chapter 1. With your organizational problem, provide the following information:
Provide any environmental issues that should be considered.
As you discuss these areas to address the first portion of the problem-solving framework, provide examples and research to support your discussion.
Step 2
Now that you have laid the foundation of the problem, explain how the theory you researched applies. Provide in depth analysis with your article as the main evidence.
Explain the author’s current view on the chosen organizational theory and how it relates to your problem.
Discuss what you believe are the most relevant portions of the article that tie the theory and concepts with your organizational issue to create an explanation for the problem. In other words, if you had to explain the organizational issue to someone, how would you relate it to what the author has stated?
Step 3
The final process (Step 3) in the problem-solving framework is recommendations. Based on your research, use this final step to provide recommendation plans for the problem. Do you want to resolve, solve, or dissolve the problem? Consider the consequences as well for the plan of action in your recommendation. Use well-thought-out ideas and research to support your plan. Describe where you see your personality style fitting into your recommendation for the organization to make your plan work, to tie in the previous papers. Apply what you have learned through Scripture, describing how the Lord can utilize your strengths to implement the recommendation plan.
Formatting
Use proper, current APA format for every element of the paper. Be sure to include the APA-formatted cover page, abstract, and reference page. Refer to your APA manual for help.
Write in first person—this is allowed due to the personal nature of the assignment.
To facilitate the instructor’s grading of these assignments, you must have major headings for Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3. Additionally, under the major headings, you must have subheadings as you see fit for the outlined instructions.
The exact number of paragraphs that you include in each section is your decision; your instructor will not be grading you on how many paragraphs you used per section, but rather the extent to which you specifically addressed each of the areas above.
The 8–10 required pages do not include the title page, abstract page, or reference page. Those must be counted as additional pages.
Be sure to double-space, using Times New Roman 12-point font only, use 1-inch margins, and avoid bold font (except for headlines, per current APA format), underlining, and contractions.
The reference page must include a minimum of the 5 following references in current APA format (all sources must be evident within the paper):
The approved article for research
Both of the course textbook(s)
2 other scholarly sources from a peer-reviewed journal
Note: For further questions regarding current APA format, visit Liberty University’s Online Writing Center.
Submit the Research Paper Draft Assignment to the appropriately labeled Turnitin link first to review your percentage of originality. Then submit the Research Paper Final Assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of the assigned Module: Week.
RESEARCH PAPER
TIPS
Please use the Research Paper Assignment Instructions so you can follow along with these important notes. As with any assignment, please review the instructions and the rubric carefully.
Here are a few helpful tips on writing your research paper:
You are required to use the same approved topic you submitted in Module 1: Week 1. Faculty will check that the same topic is used in the paper to ensure you have researched the approved article/topic. Remember that week 1 article submission was a 0/0 points because the submission goes into the research paper points. Failure to submit a topic for approval by week 3 results in a zero score for the week 7 paper. The purpose is to research the topic throughout the course.
Ensure you apply the topic to a specific organization as you noted in your article summary. Often, it’s easy to get caught up in the topic itself, you can forget to apply it.
Do not forget to utilize the problem-solving framework. Your DB assignments have helped you in applying and writing this with various case studies so now you get to apply it with your specific article/topic. Remember the steps and include this as part of your solution.
Formatting your paper
The instructions are very specific on how to format your paper. Please ensure you read this portion carefully. Remember that the length does not include the title, abstract, or reference list.
