Case Analysis 1: Psych Bonds and Job Performance

Here is the detailed rubric/grading sheet I passed out before the exam.

• Please, please, please pre-grade your paper and your neighbors with this rubric before submitting.
• There isn’t a limit in how many high grades I can give–if there are deserving papers. So help your neighbors out and ask them to help you. There is no competition.

For the character you have chosen:

1.  Identify the psychological bonds they hold;

2.  Assess how the bonds impact the character’s job performance;

3.  Recommend psychological bond changes that will increase job performance.

Before Submitting your paper please review the Style Guide. This style guide will show you how to avoid common mistakes.

Recall as well that the psychological bond continuum only is a starting point–and there are clearly many, many more psychological bonds in this world. However theory hasn’t been created to identify those psychological bonds. The exciting news is that you get to push the edges of science and create your own psychological bond names–you scientists you! The following mood circumplex and emotions table can be used to fuel your brainstorming and coming up with names for psychological bonds that are not on the continuum.
