Week 5_DNP855

There are many theories associated with organizational behaviors. Organizational behavior theories study how employees interact with each other and the healthcare organization (HCO). Motivation is one of the most pivotal characteristics of organizational behavior theory (OBT). Many factors influence one's motivation and workplace behavior. With the evolution of organizational behavior, employee behavior, management styles, and administrative leadership have also changed. The core of effective behavior is trustworthiness and reliability. Remember, if we want to lead, we must lead by example. 

In this module, we will focus on individual behavior, group behavior, organizational structure, and organizational processes. Each stakeholder has a different response to situations they encounter. We will consider and apply the many organizational behavior theories as you complete your assignments this week. 

Assignment Description:

Change Barriers

Write 1250 words addressing each of the following points/questions. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper. Support your ideas with at least 3 (THREE) sources in your essay. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page do not count toward the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

 

As you develop your DNP project, change is inevitable. As organizations transition through many transformations, you must be ready to facilitate the changes that ensue. This means you should be ready to create plans for introducing and managing change. Lewin's 3-Stage Model of Change and Kotter's 8-Step Change Model are widely used to help overcome barriers to change in organizations.

 

Consider the setting/location for your DNP project. What organizational changes are currently underway? Economic? Administrative? Leadership? Financial? Consider the risks that you may come up against as you attempt to gain buy-in and implement your DNP project. Suppose there is concern that the existing employees may not embrace your work, and you've been tasked with creating a plan to minimize the fallout.

Develop a plan to facilitate the smooth implementation of your DNP project against the changes set forth. How will you optimize stakeholder buy-in, satisfaction, and productivity? For this assignment, you will write a short essay that explains the details of your plan and be sure to integrate concrete examples and supportive reasoning for how to implement this plan following each step of Lewin's 3-Stage Model of Change or Kotter's 8-Step Change Model.
