In this course, we are talking a lot about interconnected systems, including ecosystems, cultural systems, and environmental systems. Some systems are not sustainable, while others are. One way to tell the difference between unsustainable and sustainable systems is to consider whether a system provides some or all of its own power to operate, or instead needs external, non-renewable power sources to function.
Directions
In this short paper, you will consider how one type of system—an organization—impacts human behavior. (An organization can include a company, firm, corporation, or institution.) See this module’s resources for examples.
Specifically, you must address the following:
Describe an example from a website, article, or video that illustrates how an organization impacts human behavior.
Which organization did you choose?
Which website, article, or video provides an example of how your chosen organization’s practices impact human behavior?
As illustrated in your chosen example, how does the organization encourage certain behaviors?
As illustrated in your chosen example, how does the organization discourage certain behaviors?
Explain how your chosen organization uses an ego or eco approach to leadership. .
Which leadership approach do you think the organization is using in your chosen example?
What behaviors suggest that the organization is using this leadership approach?
How does the organization foster (or not foster) its long-term existence?
What to Submit
Submit your paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. You must cite the website, article, or video you use for your example. Follow APA citation guidelines when citing sources both throughout and at the end of your paper.
Alternately, Brightspace allows the use of video notes. You may optionally use the Video Note tool to complete this assignment so long as you refer to your sources verbally throughout your video and submit a separate references page. If you need assistance using Video Note, please refer to the resources in the Start Here module. If you use Video Note, your video should be 2-5 minutes long.
