U.S. UNIIONS

  1. In moments of frustration, some U.S. labor leaders have claimed that U.S. unions would be better off with a deregulation of labor law and a return to the “law of the jungle.” How would a return to voluntarism affect U.S. unions? Workers? Employers?
  2. What might be the pros and cons of adopting the German system of mandatory works councils in the United States?
  3. Employers commonly try to portray unions in a negative light by characterizing them as outside third-party organizations. Is this accurate if unions are composed of employees? Describe how the pluralist industrial relations school of thought sees value in having a union as both an outsider and an insider. In what direction(s) should U.S. labor unions go to serve these roles in the 21st century?
  4. What is a corporation’s social responsibility? Are there corporate labor relations practices that should be unacceptable? If so, how should these standards be enforced?

Position and Compensation Classifications

 

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, review this week’s readings and Weekly Lecture.

Identifying the proper classification for each position is an important responsibility of the HR department. Depending on the size of the organization, there are various ways that a classification is decided and put into practice. Larger organizations require specific levels of approval of the classification before implementation, whereas with smaller organizations, the determination is often made by the HR director.

For this discussion, take the role of the HR director in a small organization. The organization is adding two new positions to the workforce, and it is your responsibility to determine the classification and compensation categories for each position. Carefully determine the role of each position and the responsibilities of the position within the organization. Determine the logical classifications for each position. Define and defend each category selected for the position and your reasoning for selecting the options. Support your decisions with resources that defend your choices.

Position 1:

This position is responsible for customer service and responding to the complaints of the consumer. The employee will work a 6-hour day, three days a week, with a rotating shift. This position will report to a supervisor and will have no direct reports.

Discussion 2 – Week 11

Discussion 2: This Course as a Prerequisite for the Final Doctoral Study

How might this course contribute to your final doctoral study? As you continue exploring the field and practice of health care administration, your experiences throughout the Doctor of Healthcare Administration program will help inform the planning, design, and completion of your doctoral study. As you explore the topics in each course in your program, reflect on how the topics covered might relate to and contribute to your research.

For this Discussion, reflect on your experiences in completing this course. Consider how this course might contribute to your doctoral study and practice of health care administration. Then, review the DHA doctoral study guidebook in this week’s resources. This doctoral study guidebook outlines the processes necessary to complete the requirements for the doctoral study in the DHA program.

By Day 5

Post an explanation of how this course contributes to the doctoral study you will complete in the research forum (DDHA 8900/9100).

Week 2 discussion -8110

For this Discussion, you will consider the role of theory in research and the relationship between theory and philosophical orientations. You will also familiarize yourself with a theory in your field so that you may become more conversant in your discipline’s theoretical foundations.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post an explanation of the role of theory in research. Next, identify a theory in your discipline and explain its basic tenets. Then, with this theory in mind, consider your answer to the following question posed by Dr. Burkholder in last week’s reading: “What do I have to believe about the world and about human beings in order for me to accept or use this theory?” Finally, describe the extent to which the epistemological and ontological assumptions of your chosen theory align with the philosophical orientation that reflects your worldview.
