T his paper outline is to be used to complete this assignment. CAUTION: Do not us this outline without reading the entire assignment (including expected page length) to ensure you have the entire context to which this paper should be written. Comment by Ruth Essler: Select one theory or perspective that you have studied that seems to be an individual level theme. One that you have studied that seems to be a team level theme. And one that you have studied that seems to be an organizational level theme. Summarize what those theories are and why each pertains to its corresponding level (individual, team, or organization). Analyze those three theories based on this question: Why do people do what they do in organizations? That is, how do the theories you have selected help explain "organizational behavior?" What are the challenges, problems, or difficulties in behavior as suggested by each of your theories? What are the potential strategies and solutions (to the challenges) as suggested by your theories? How do your three theories seem to fit together? How do they seem to interact with each other? What important lessons can you derive from thinking about the interaction of the theories?

Place your introduction paragraph here. It should be five or six sentences and provide the reader with some perspective about your topic. APA 7th edition asks you “Limit the use of “I” and “you” in academic writing”. Although the introduction does not contain all details, it should provide an overall outline of the subtopics you will cover in your paper. Readers should be able to read your introductory paragraph and have a good understanding of what to learn from your paper. Be sure to use APA format throughout your paper. Font should be Times New Roman 12 pt. and double space between lines.
