Organizational behaviour
For Assignment 1, you are asked to write an analytical essay based on your results from a number of personality and values indicators. You should structure your essay as a continuous piece of writing that consists of a brief introduction, main body of discussion and conclusion. Your argument and analysis should develop logically and systematically and be supported with reference to a wide range of sources from the organisational behaviour literature.
TASK
You are required to complete the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Big Five Personality Test, the McDonald and Gandz Values and Commitment Survey, and the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) that were discussed in class. Using your personal results and the theoretical concepts and frameworks of OB related to personality, attitudes and values and decision making that you have studied in this subject:
1. Identify and discuss your own dominant personality traits and personal values. (You may find it useful to present the data in table form and use this as a basis for your analysis).
2. Identify and analyse your individual strengths and weaknesses revealed through the various test results, and critically reflect on how these might affect individual behaviour and actions. (For example, what insights does your analysis provide on how your personality and personal values and belief system influence your response to different situations either in the workplace or day-to-day living, your interactions with others, what is important to you, and your preferred activities. Provide examples to support your discussion.)
3. Consider how the insights provided by your critical reflection above and your reading of organisational behaviour theory might help you better manage yourself and others. Give examples of how you do or could apply these when managing others.
4. Provide a conclusion that draws together the key findings of your analysis and the implications for your personal development and workplace interactions.
