In the following topic area, you will choose which of the two viewpoints which you think is best:
Employee Outcomes
Position 1 – It is critical for the survival of the organization that our employees have strong organizational commitment. Employees who are committed to the organization are far more important than those who have good task performance.
Position 2 – Organizational commitment is overrated. Employees are being hired to complete their tasks, so task performance is much more important than organizational commitment.
Requirements for each section:
Your paper must have the following 5 sections (each being worth 10 points, for a total of 50 points) and follow the points below:
Section 1: You will choose one of the viewpoints and describe why you feel that it is “correct.” You should use material from the course, as well as other resources, to support this point. It cannot simply be your opinion. You must use evidence to make your argument.
Section 2: You will then describe the merits of the other viewpoint (the viewpoint you did not choose). Here again, this cannot be simply opinion. There is no “wrong” answer among the viewpoints, and so although you feel more strongly about the viewpoint you chose in item 1 above, here you will be discussing the merits of the alternative viewpoint.
Section 3: You will discuss the limitations or “what is wrong” about the alternative viewpoint. Essentially, this explains why you did not choose to support this point, in spite of the merits that you discussed in point 2 above. Put differently, even though there are reasons to support this alternative viewpoint, there are also limitations that you will discuss here. Keep in mind that you will need to provide evidence, not just opinion.
Section 4: You will discuss the limitations, or “what is wrong” about the viewpoint that you chose to support in point 1 above. Even though you chose this point to support, there are flaws in it that others could point to. Your task here is to identify those flaws and discuss them. You should also discuss why these flaws are perhaps “not a big deal,” or why you feel that this point is more valid in spite of the flaws. Keep in mind that you will need to provide evidence, not just opinion.
Section 5: You will discuss a personal experience with either viewpoint that influenced your choice. Perhaps you experienced something positive about one viewpoint and so you believe in it more strongly. Alternatively, you may have experienced something negative about the other viewpoint that led you to not support it. This can be an experience from a job, club, team, class, etc. You should describe the experience clearly and relate it back to course concepts.
