Sports and games are a piece of human culture. They can be seen as an intense fight for the win. At times during each teams season, week after week teams compete for the the win and for entertainment for the fans to see. There is no doubt these competitors and big games have turned out to be essential to the our society and fans that appreciate watching them. While it may sound like sports are something that is easily written off or something that doesn’t matter to everyone. These sporting events display worldwide have a positive impact on the society.

In Paolo Bacigalupi’s ‘The Gambler’, the main character, Ong, travels to the United States to work for a futuristic media company. This story emphasizes on three main ideas; media, information and technology. After reading the story, I connected the main themes to the world, to myself, and to this course.

The most significant takeaway that I have from this course would be learning information regarding John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. Now, the reasoning behind this is because these two men without a doubt influence the nation more than anyone else during their era and beyond. Furthermore, when looking at each one of these company’s net worth, they easily rival several nations gross domestic profit during this period. Additionally, their businesses employ more people across the country than any other companies of this time. Moreover, once these men reach the pinnacle of the corporate world, each one decides it is time to start giving back to their fellow man. Now, I found this baffling considering everyone at the time sees Rockefeller and Carnegie as robber barons. Additionally, when comparing Rockefeller’s and Carnegie’s philanthropy actions to today’s modern market, you do not see business owners contributing to society to the same magnitude as Rockefeller and Carnegie.

I have two goals for this behavioral change project: sleep before 12:30 am and stopping surfing the Internet with the cellphone on bed before sleep. These two bad habits gradually developed from last year and I have attempted to change it several times before this semester. For example, I tried to replace using cellphone with reading and leave phone at the other room, but it did not work for a long time and I could persevere for less than a week. I wanted to change these two undesirable behaviors because of two reasons. First, after I got into the habit of staying up, I often felt sleepy and sometimes lacked concentration during the daytime. Second, I missed the time when I still maintained the habit of not staying up. During that period, I was more energetic and I could handle my workload better because of enhanced concentration capability.

When I first started this course, I didn’t really know what to expect. I knew it would educate me on the matters of choosing a career and post-secondary life but I never realized how in-depth it would be. In the end, I learned so much from this course, I now have a post-secondary plan in mind, and I know which path I need to take to get there. When I look back on all I achieved in the two short weeks of this course, I am extremely proud of all I achieved. I hope to use all the profitable knowledge I obtained in this course for the rest of my life.

A little over two years ago, I started working as a Community Support Individual for Pathways Transition Programs LLC. My primary responsibility is to teach children various coping skills to manage their behavior, I have determined that I want to be able to address the emotions behind the behaviors. My desire is to be able to help the children I work with come to terms with their past histories so they can move on in their lives towards adoption and other positive outcomes. Sometimes, the children are still going through issues such as, on-going traumas, the lost of a parent due to death or incarceration, etc and I would like to develop the skill set to be able to address these issues. I see pursuing my degree through Argosy University as being the next step to take in order to develop a competency in counseling.

This course hasn’t influenced my career plans, but it has enhanced how I manage my projects and interact with colleagues on a daily basis. Furthermore, this class and all of my future classes will really be useful as I retire and become a self-employed government contractor.

What insights have I gained about research from taking this course? The insights I have achieved, there are different methods in constructing a research study I understand more in doing a research exploration, my mentor kept asking me if I had completed the research required for projects for my classroom. I did not understand what was a real research study or someone writing a story from their experiences. I now understand how to look for research studies conducted by researchers.

This paper is to define and understand who I am as a student and what direction I need to take to complete my degree and pursue a successful career in life.

Before I joined this class I have less idea about the group dynamic what is means, and what will do.

Organizational Behavior is the field of study which investigates the impact that individuals, group and structures have on behavior within the organization. We are born in an organization, we live, we work and most probably we will die in an organization. Yet most of us do not understand how people function, behave and interact between each other within these organizations. We also do not understand if people shape an organization or an organization shapes people. Different people work differently in different situations. Organizational behavior helps to understand and predict behavior of the people and helps to improve relations between management and employees.

Before I attend to this class, I think Organizational Behavior (OB) is a concept how behavior affects the management, leadership and relationship among people in an organization resulting from the meaning of OB word by word. Nevertheless, this assumption was changed after I attend the Organizational Behavior class, which has the subject code BUS 314 thanks to my lecturer- Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hoang, who put huge efforts to inspire me to learn this subject. At the beginning of this course, he drew an overview of Organizational Behavior, is a field of study that explores the impact of three determinants: individual, groups and structure of an organization. Furthermore, OB investigates the study of what people do in an organization as well as help them to recognize how their behaviors impact on the organization performance (Judge & Robbins, 2013). That the reasons why OB plays a significant role in business. More importantly, Mr. Hoang also instructs me how to apply the knowledge gained through this course for enhancing my personal development. The first valuable knowledge is that how to communicate with other people effectively. The second precious lesson is how to create a positive organizational culture. The final lesson is created positive emotions and moods are extremely crucial to improve the general performance. Thus, this essay will go deep into 03 specific knowledge and what they help me to enhance my personal development.

HRM practices are a process of engaging, motivating, and maintaining employees to ensure the organizational survival (Schuler and Jackson, 1987). According to (Delery and Doty, 1996) HRM practices are prepared and implemented in a way that human capital plays important role in achieving the goals and objectives of the organization. The appropriate use of HRM practices strongly influence the standard of employer and the degree of employee commitment (Purcell, 2003). HRM practices like, training and development, performance appraisal allow the employees to do better in order to enhance the organizational performance (Snell and Dean, 1992; Pfeffer, 1998).

In one of my courses, social organizational psychology, it shaded light on organizational behaviors. In the class, there are many theories to improve well-being of the people in organization. To understand more about it and know how to apply those theories in real life organizational problem, I have a chance to interview my own mother about her problem in the work life. She works at PTT Public Company Limited, one of the most famous petroleum company in Thailand. It is the company which has large number of employees and contains many departments. My mother usually complain about her teammates and her leader during dinner time. Sometimes she also said that she does not want to go to work anymore because see feel uncomfortable at her work place. At first, I did not actually pay close attention to what see is saying because I think that it is not a big problem and from the smart look women that she has I believe that she can figure it out by herself. However, after I have took the course I notice that it is a big problem which can affect my mother psychologically health and her job satisfy. Therefore, I choose her as my interviewee so that I can know about her problem more and also to use what I have learned to help her.
