Part 1: Answer each of the following questions in a 1 to 2-page double-spaced paper, Times New Roman 12 point font, APA format.
Why is it important for supervisors to be aware of and understand anti-discrimination laws?
What steps must employers take to ensure that they are complying with the American Disabilities Act and the Immigration Reform and Control Act?
An airline has a policy that all its employees must receive a physical examination before they start working for the company. At what point in the selection process should the company request the examination? How may the airline use this information?
Part 2: To perform well, employees must be motivated. Social scientists have developed a variety of theories on motivation that can be useful to supervisors. Content theories of motivation focus on what things motivate workers. Abraham Maslow, David McClelland, and Frederick Herzberg are researchers whose content theories are well known. Process theories of motivation focus on the actual process of motivation and not specific motivators, such as money or power. Victor Vroom’s expectancy-valence theory and B.F. Skinner’s reinforcement theory are two major process theories.
Create a chart, diagram, matrix, or concept map which lists and briefly describes these theories. Include examples of how supervisors can apply each theory to the workplace. Next in a 1-2 page paper identify and discuss ways supervisors can motivate their employees.
