Week 2 Discussion
Select a position (your own position is an option) in your organization or at an organization that you have worked for or volunteered for.
In your initial posting (250-400 words) for this week:
Analyze that position using the personal characteristics described in chapters 4 and 5 to identify characteristics that are essential to success in this position.
Characteristics might include personality traits, values, or aspects of emotional intelligence.
Name the position and then describe the personal characteristics
(one concept from chapter 4 and one from chapter 5, two total)
In your posting and why they are essential to the position. Be sure to cite and reference the text when using concepts, or use quotation marks and a citation if quoting.
Looking at the same position, what contributes to job satisfaction in this position? What could leaders or the organization do to improve job satisfaction for people in this position? Try to make connections to the SHRM (2020) report and Bannan (2022) article on job satisfaction and engagement.
The required video for this week provides background to the report. The link to the job satisfaction questionnaire provides examples of questions focused on job satisfaction (you are encouraged to complete the questionnaire yourself).
