Case Study

Volunteers deserve assurance that what they are doing is needed. Recognition of their contributions should be a part of the formal and informal operations of any volunteer management program. This helps create a motivating climate, which can improve volunteer retention.

As executive director at literacy organization, you learned that the attrition rate you’re your volunteers started to climb, from five percent after its first 12 months to 20 percent by the end of its second year. Your board knew something needed to be done about the situation, but the members are unsure what action to take. The belief is held that if they had sufficient time or money to put together an elaborate volunteer recognition program, they would.  

Discussion

How would you proceed in the above stated case study?

How has volunteering been changing with the changing times?

Is managing volunteers different from managing paid employees? Why or why not?

 
 
 

Cognitive psychology research paper topic:  The decision-making process. (Choice theory)

 

 

 

Assignment:

 

Conduct a library search (using the PsycInfo database) to find research evidence supporting or refuting this theory, and then present a cohesive summary of your findings in APA style. The majority of this evidence must come from “primary source” journal articles in which the details of the experimental procedures are spelled out so that you can critically evaluate the conclusions reached by the authors. You should not rely heavily on “secondary sources” such as textbooks or review-type articles. In other words, you’ll need to find several new articles relevant to your topic on your own. You are also not allowed to use general internet sources (such as Wikipedia or other internet sites). You will summarize and critically evaluate the scientific sources in your paper, discussing how they support or refute the theory in question. Your paper should discuss a minimum of 3 or 4 primary source articles but can include secondary source articles or articles discussed in your text as additional support for your position for or against the theory. 

 

*Critically evaluate the research articles, emphasizing flaws in the research methodology, gaps, or discrepancies in the research findings.

 

*After your critical evaluation, the last portion of your paper should be a proposal for a new research study (a new experimental design) that will help provide additional evidence for or against the theory in question. It should give the details of the procedures, and you should make clear the purpose of the study and why you think the results of this study will help resolve the issues involved.

 

*Finally, you should indicate your “expected results” (hypotheses) incorporating an explanation of the reasons for that prediction.

 

*Review and use at least six primary source articles.
*Length and Style: The paper should be between 7 and 14 pages long and written and formatted in APA style (double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1-inch margins).

*****The assignment should be 3-4 pages in length not including the title page and references page.*****
