sponsorship agency

/in /by

At a sponsorship agency in Guatemala, employees are proud of the work they do. Bringing sponsorship money to poor children and families who need assistance. But trouble is brewing in the Donor Services department. Morale is low, tension is high, and no one really knows how productive they are. The problem is that the department manager is so absorbed in other work that he is virtually ignoring operations within the department. The woman who has been assigned to oversee operations on a daily basis has not been given managerial authority or training, so workloads are uneven and employees aren’t trained to do their jobs properly. Adding fuel to the fire is a “clique” of three women who resent what little authority the supervisor has over them, and they routinely voice their negative opinions to each other and to others. Work in this department is heading off the rails.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS TO ASSIGN

What;

  1. is the level of intergroup conflict? What is its cause?
  2. do you recommend to help the Donor Services Department become more effective? How might greater empowerment help the situation in the Donor Services Department? What specifically would you change to achieve greater empowerment?

Getting to Yes”

According to “Getting to Yes“, principal based negotiation is a successful tool for conflict resolution. However, principal based negotiations are rarely used by parties in a workplace dispute. Most often, highly confrontational workplace disputes center around strong opposing positions by both parties.

Compare and Contrast position vs. interest during negotiations. How do they contribute to a high turnover in organizations?

law and ethics

/in /by

Discussion 1

 

While related, law and ethics are not the same. The law establishes what individuals  must  do, while ethics describes what individuals  should  do. What this means is that some things viewed as immoral may in fact not be illegal. And some illegal activities may not necessarily be immoral.

For this discussion, pick one of the topics below and explain whether you think it’s immoral, and then whether you think it should be illegal. Make sure to fully explain and support your answer.

· Gambling with friends at work.Using marijuana at a party. Obtaining an abortion. Marketing sugary drinks to children.

Discussion 2

Today, there are several options for people who want to pursue a legal claim. This includes filing a lawsuit in court, but it also includes alternative forms of dispute resolution (referred to as ADR) such as mediation and arbitration. In both mediation and arbitration, the dispute is resolved outside of court, with the main difference being that mediation requires the parties to voluntarily agree to a resolution, while arbitration requires the parties to abide by the decision of a private arbitrator.

For this discussion, choose one of the disputes listed below and explain whether you think the best way to resolve it is through a lawsuit, mediation, or arbitration.

· A woman is passed over for promotion and instead the job is award to a man with less experience. She believes that this is a case of sex discrimination.

· A truck driver is hit by a motorist who ran a stop sign and will be in the hospital for several months. And does not have any savings or disability benefits.

· A child is injured when a very popular folding high-chair collapses. And it appears that the high-chair was improperly designed and unable to reliably support the weight of the average infant.

Clinical significance

Reply 1

In clinical research, statistically significant study outcomes are frequently regarded as clinically significant. Clinical significance represents the study’s influence on clinical practice, whereas statistical significance demonstrates the study’s trustworthiness. According to Ranganathan et. al, (2015), the “clinical significance” of a finding in clinical practice is determined by its consequences for current practice, with treatment effect size being one of the most significant variables driving treatment decisions. Statistical significance is heavily influenced by the sample size of a study; with large sample sizes, even minor treatment effects (which are clinically insignificant) can appear statistically significant; as a result, the reader must carefully consider whether this “significance” is clinically meaningful.

advanced pancreatic cancer

Overall survival was compared in 569 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who were randomly assigned to receive erlotinib with gemcitabine vs gemcitabine alone, according to a research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The erlotinib plus gemcitabine arm had a “significantly” longer median survival (6.24 months vs. 5.91 months, P = 0.038). The P = 0.038 indicates that there is only a 3.8 percent probability that the observed difference between the groups happened by chance (less than the conventional cut-off of 5%), making it statistically significant. In this case, the “treatment effect” or difference in median survival between 6.24 and 5.91 months – a mere 10 days, which most oncologists would agree is a clinically irrelevant “improvement” in outcomes, especially when considering the added toxicity and costs associated with the combination – is the clinical relevance of this “positive” study.

Statistical significance must always be established before clinical significance can be assessed in evidence-based research. Clinical significance, on the other hand, is generally a subjective assessment that cannot be determined by a single experience test. By ensuring that the result is statistically significant, I may leverage clinical significance to support good results in my project outcome. This is because the vast majority of statistically significant discoveries have therapeutic implications.

To successfully implement evidence-based practice, it is important to understand and interpret research. In this regard, it is important to understand the difference between statistical significance and clinical significance. Statistical significance refers to when a relationship between variable is accurate and not random or caused by luck. It is used to determine the reliability of findings. In this regard, statistical significance as a parameter in evidence-based practice shows the extent or the likelihood that finding from research is true and does not occur by a chance (Heavey, 2015).

Clinical significance is essentially a subjective interpretation of research findings as meaningful for patient under care, and therefore likely to influence the behaviour of healthcare provider (Heavey, 2015). A clinically significant result occurs when medical experts believe that the finding is considerable enough to be medically crucial and hence be applied as a guide in provision of care to patients.

In evidence-based research practice, statistical significance must always be determined before determination of clinical significance. However, clinical significance is usually a subjective evaluation and cannot be established by a single experiential test. I can use clinical significance to support positive outcomes in my project outcome by ensuring that the result is statistically significant. This is because majority of statistically significant findings normally have clinical significance.
