In your first essay, you applied your analytical and interpretive skills to a work of literary fiction. In this second essay, you will continue to develop those skills, but will do so by placing two texts from this course in conversation with one another. In other words, you will be comparing OR contrasting a major theme in two short stories we’ve read thus far. The goal here is not just to point out similarities or differences, but to emphasize what is surprising or interesting about those similarities or differences.

For example, you might ask:

1)    Are there unexpectedly similar themes or messages within two stories published in very different time periods?

2)    Are there two stories we’ve read that address a similar topic, but send different messages about that topic?

3)    Are there two stories with protagonists who seem very different, but who actually struggle with a similar problem?

Your thesis should clearly state the answer to one of these questions, and your essay should use specific quotes and details from the stories as supporting evidence.

Purpose

·      To emphasize the importance of locating and exploring connections across different texts

·      To practice effectively organizing discussions of two different texts

·      To continue to improve your interpretive reading and writing skills

Format:                      

·      4-5 double-spaced pages plus Works Cited page in MLA style.

·      12 point Times or Times New Roman fon1-inch margins on all sides

Writing Guidelines (These will also be used as grading criteria):

1.     Employ a thesis statement in the introduction that clearly states a) how two stories are similar or different, and b) why that similarity or difference is significant or surprising

2.     Formulate topic sentences that tie directly back to the thesis and state the one main idea of their respective paragraphs

3.     Support those topic sentences with evidence from the text(s) being analyzed

4.     Do not “ping pong” back and forth between stories in a single paragraph. You can alternate your discussions of each story from paragraph to paragraph, but not from sentence to sentence. Alternately, you may also address all relevant details from one story in the first half of your paper, and then turn your attention to the second story in the second half of your paper.

5.     Keep summary to a minimum: only quote from the story or paraphrase plot events in the interest of proving a larger interpretive point, and keep the focus on your analysis

6.     Integrate source(s) smoothly: avoid long block quotations, use attributive tags, cite using MLA style

7.     Employ an academic tone that avoids conversational or casual language

8.     Use clear transitions between sentences, correct grammar, and appropriate vocabulary

Choose any two of these and write the paper on  them :

Baldwin, “Sonny’s Blues”

Bambara, “The Lesson” 

O’Connor,“A Good Man is Hard to Find”

Oates, “Where Are You Going, Where have you been?”

Vonnegut, “Harrison Bergeron”

Can you help me understand this Business question?

main question

Based on what you have read about job satisfaction, and the contents of the first two lectures, what difference does working for a “good” boss versus a “bad” boss make in terms of “productive effort supply?” Begin by distinguishing a “good” boss from a “bad” one.

Then explain whether, and to what extent, the difference shows up in worker productivity. If you can, estimate the difference in terms of a percentage. That is, how much more (if any) productivity might a good boss get out of his or her people than would a “bad” boss? (each 250word will be fine)

Most people who have working experiences probably will encounter effective/poor leaderships. Generally speaking, we refer our boss as a “good boss” or a “bad boss”. Some common characteristics of a good leader including coach others, have a good will, generate enthusiasm, say “we”, fix the problems, show people how things done, develop people, give credit, and ask people’s opinions. On the other hand, a bad boss would drive people, depend on authority, inspire fear, say “I”, place blame for the problems, know how things done but do not show it, use people, take away credits, and command people.

Although good bosses and bad bosses are everywhere, but how their leaderships affect us as an employee? In my personal experiences, I have met both. I notice that my productivity and motivation for work are higher when my boss’s leadership is effective and my productivity and motivation decrease when I have a bad boss. According to the article from IZA World of Labor, a good boss elicits higher performance among workers, and lower quit rates. A main characteristic of a good boss is that he/she is a good teacher(Shaw,2019). I couldn’t agree with this finding more. When I first graduated from the college, I had a good boss so I learn a lot from her. Just in 3 months, I can feel and tell my growth was significant. In my next job, I had a very ineffective manager, I can hardly recall I learn anything from him in a whole year. Therefore, the effect is obvious. Having a good leader is beneficial not only for the company but also for the employees themselves.

Job satisfaction relates to an employees relationship with their job and how positive they feel that role is for them. Robbins and Judge discuss the underlying elements to job satisfaction that include:

1) Relationship to job

2) Talents and preferences in relation to the employee

3) Job design

An easy way to measure job satisfaction would be a simple direct question from a scale of 1-5, ‘how do you like your job’. The reality however is more complex than a simple yes or no.

The Gallup study of 2013 indicated that a whopping 63% of worldwide employees are ’not engaged’ and dissatisfied with their job.

Stanford University psychology professor Robert Sutton supports the infamous phrase that ‘people leave bad bosses and not jobs’ . Certain employees may stay to a certain extent with a bad boss because they are committed to their profession yet their performance still remains above the limit threshold.

What would constitute a bad boss versus a good boss and how does that correlate to an employee’s productive effort supply? Let’s delve deeply here into this discussion.

Everyone has had their share of bad bosses, however certain traits to mention are: micromanaging instead of delegating, having a one size fits all management approach, doesn’t lead by example, has no empathy, takes credit for employees work, has no focus or direction let alone respect for fellow employees and is entitled. (Yonung Entrepreneur Council, 2018)

A good boss on the other hand is more patient, honest, inspires, motivates, their vision aligns with that of the company’s, has a clear communication stream and rewards good work, encourages and supports junior team members and is inclusive.

An employee’s production effort supply is how much their effort translates into production output and how much value that brings to the company.

A good boss, naturally, would result in employees performing at a high threshold given that they are committed to their roles and enjoy the job they are performing. In this way, there is the organizational citizenship behavior is prominent throughout the team. There is a 140% upper limit of management standard that shouldn’t be surpassed as then bosses will take their juniors for granted. (Robbins & Judge, 2018).

A bad boss, could result in an employee quitting and leaving which would result in the bad boss having to make up this loss by the cost of the turnover. The other alternative is quitting and staying which could lead to poorer performance if they aren’t motivated, overworked, the boss doesn’t value their efforts and that naturally results to a decline in productive effort support but just up till the ‘safety zone’.

In terms of worker productivity, boss impact is measurable. Studies by Stanford University students suggest that an average boss adds about 1.75x as much output as relative employee. (Lazear & al, 2014). A simple calculation would result in time = human capital x effort.Whilst, the standard deviation of boss effect equals 4.74 units of output, worker is only 1.33.

Replacing a boss in the lowest 10th percentile with a boss that is in the 90th percentile increases output by one team member. (Shaw, n.d.)

A 90th percentile of boss quality increases productivity by 6.07 whilst a boss in the lower percentile would probably decrease productivity by half of that amount. Google tested out this theory and realized retaining good employees is higher with a good boss.

Under the norm of reciprocity one would hope a relatively decent boss would ensure company profitability. However, it is important to note that effect of good bosses on high quality workers is greater than the effect of good bosses on lower quality workers. By having a higher quality boss, productivity could surge by 50%. (Shaw, n.d)
