The final project includes both a 10 – 12 page paper (not including title page or references section) and a PowerPoint presentation with 8 slides of content. Utilizing independent research and course materials, compose a 10 – 12 page paper. The first section (5-6 pages) is to be a compare/contrast essay where you illustrate the similarities and differences in organizational components, actions, and attributes promoting a healthy culture and organizational components, actions, and attributes not promoting a healthy culture. What role does leadership have in transforming workplace culture to promote a healthy organization?
Even though leadership has brought a heightened awareness of how to deal with mental health issues in the workplace and set the stage for a healthy organizational culture, disorders and problems will still occur. For the second section of your paper (5-6 pages), provide a reflective portion. This section should contain a synopsis of five of the following issues or disorders. Include ethical and legal considerations leaders may need to consider during transformation of organizational culture.
Job Stress and Health
Work/Family Conflict
Depression
Bipolar Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Social Anxiety Disorder
Specific Phobias
Panic Disorder
PTSD
Schizophrenia
Antisocial Personality Disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder
Eating Disorder
Traumatic Brain Injury
Insomnia
Substance Abuse
Social Dysfunction
Violence
Passive-aggressive Behavior
For each issue/disorder you selected, indicate what behaviors call attention to the potential disorder or issue, as well as possible interventions and treatments for each disorder/issue. Explain how you, personally, will deal differently with these issues in the workplace than you would have before this class. At least one scholarly source for each disorder or issue should be used to support your ideas.
Next, imagine that you are presenting the results of your paper to a class of college students who are learning about psychopathology in the workplace. Create an 8-slide PowerPoint presentation (not including title slide or references slide) that highlights the key concepts of your paper. Incorporate at least 100 words of speaker notes for each content slide.
