Explain how social factors influence the change requirement of the organization.

Scenario

Effective change plans are created by understanding several external factors influencing an organization, including p olitical, e conomic, s ocial, t echnological, l egal, and e nvironmental, or PESTLE, forces. Experienced executives carefully examine PESTLE forces to identify major opportunities and threats and then adjust their organizational change strategies accordingly.

Previously, you informed the VP about potential reasons why an organization fails to change and suggested ways to avoid them. Now, you have been asked to analyze the situation and recommend a change management plan to the VP. As part of your analysis, you need to evaluate and report to the VP about workforce change readiness and external forces that may affect the change management processes in the organization.

Prompt

Identify social and technological factors that can affect change readiness in an organization. Consider how these factors may influence the employees at the U.S. branch of the Singaporean software solutions provider. Then, write a report explaining your analysis to the VP.

Specifically, you must address the following criteria.

1. Explain how social factors influence the change requirement of the organization.
   • Use the PESTLE Forces Guide to identify social factors and refer to the U.S. Branch Overview for data about the U.S. branch.
   • Which social factors will significantly influence the change requirements of the U.S. unit’s workforce?
   • How will social factors influence change readiness in the workforce?
   • How will you visually present and emphasize social factors depicted through demographic data?
2. Explain how technological factors influence the change requirement of the organization.
   • Use the PESTLE Forces Guide to identify technological factors and refer to the U.S. Branch Overview for data about the U.S. branch.
   • Which technology factors will significantly influence workforce planning and training requirements?
   • How will technology factors influence change readiness in the workforce?
   • How will you visually present and emphasize technological factors depicted through demographic data?

Guidelines for Submission

Submit a Word document using double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. This assignment should be 1–2 pages in length and include references cited in APA format. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.

Describe the use of stakeholder analysis in organizational change management.

Scenario

As the HR consultant contracted to resolve issues related to miscommunication and workforce discontent at the U.S. branch of the Singaporean software solutions provider, you are expected to present a change readiness report and then submit a change management plan.

Based on each theory’s concept of psychopathology, discuss any limitations as far as creating measurable outcomes for clients.

Please create a new thread to respond to the follow questions. Then reply to one classmate’s post.

1. How are the theories similar and different?
2. What are some strengths and limitations of each theory?
3. What are some ways that each theory is compatible and incompatible with Christian concepts? (Use Tan textbook)
4. Based on each theory’s concept of psychopathology, discuss any limitations as far as creating measurable outcomes for clients. (Use Switzer and Rubin textbook to help with case conceptualization prior to discussing measurable outcomes)

*(Hint: While you will use the Corey book to help understand the theories, it is helpful to use the Switzer and Rubin textbook to guide case conceptualization; using this can help to understand measurable outcomes in prompt four. The Tan book is helpful for question three, regarding compatibility with Christian concepts).

Psychopathology and Diagnostic Reasoning

Week 1: History and Theories of Psychopathology

The history of the diagnosis of mental disorders is fraught with examples of how cultural norms and prejudices interfere with and warp a diagnosis. The result is that normal behavior and orientations have been pathologized as an illness or disease. An example of this would be the story of Alan Turing, the famous British computer scientist of the 20th century, who was instrumental in inventing modern computers and deciphering German code in World War II. He was convicted in 1952 in England of gross indecency for being gay. Turing was forced by the courts to undergo 12 months of hormone therapy and could no longer work for the British government. At the time, homosexuality was pathologized as a mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and was criminalized in most Western countries. It was not until 1973 that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) finally removed homosexuality from the DSM. 

Historically, the process of rendering a diagnosis has been used to pathologize those who fell outside what was considered the cultural norm of human behavior. This process often marginalized diagnosed populations and prevented individuals from receiving appropriate care. It is of utmost importance to consider cultural issues that influence how you as a clinician interpret a client’s behavior and how cultural issues influence how a client may express behavior. This week, you explore the history of psychopathology and the evolution of theoretical perspectives in the field. 

Discussion: Factors That Influence the Development of Psychopathology

In many realms of medicine, objective diagnoses can be made: A clavicula is broken.  An infection is present. TSH levels meet the diagnostic criteria for hypothyroidism. Psychiatry, on the other hand, deals with psychological phenomena and behaviors. Can these, too, be “defined objectively and by scientific criteria (Gergen, 1985), or are they social constructions?” (Sadock et al., 2015).

Thanks to myriad advances during recent decades, we know that psychopathology is caused by many interacting factors. Theoretical and clinical contributions to the field have come from the neural sciences, genetics, psychology, and social-cultural sciences. How do these factors impact the expression, classification, diagnosis, and prevalence of psychopathology, and why might it be important for a nurse practitioner to take a multidimensional, integrative approach?

To Prepare:

· Review this week’s Learning Resources, considering the many interacting factors that contribute to the development of psychopathology.

· Consider how theoretical perspective on psychopathology impacts the work of the PMHNP.

For the discussion

Explain the biological (genetic and neuroscientific); psychological (behavioral and cognitive processes, emotional, developmental); and social, cultural, and interpersonal factors that influence the development of psychopathology.

Use at least 3 Evidenced based resources

Respond to at least two of your colleagues on 2 different days by explaining the implications of why, as an advanced practice nurse, it is important to adopt a multidimensional, integrative model of psychopathology.

Explain how this global societal issue impacts a specific population.

DISCUSSION 1

DISCUSSION 2

This is my discussion answer for week one this should help you with the assignments for this week’s assignment and week 5 as well.

· Identify a global societal issue from the following list that you would consider researching further for your Week 5 Final Paper: International drug trafficking

· Lack of education

· Describe effective methods you used in identifying and narrowing down to just one of the topics to further research for your Final Paper.

The method I use was process of elimination At first I decided to focus on international drug trafficking, its a especially with the R.I.C.C.O case going viral  on social media. Then I decided to chose poverty and income inequality, but this situation has been going on for so long, writing a paper on it wouldn’t give the challenge I need. Finally, I chose Lack of education, this topic hit home for because of COVID 19 children were unable to attend school, instead at home for virtual learning then switch back to in school. My oldest son stayed back a grade due to the big adjustments being mad. Typing this paper will be a very  amusing I believe. 

· Explain three ways you can critically analyze sources to determine if they are scholarly.

One way to ensure the context of the source information is comprehensible and there is no plagiarism. Another way is to ensure the publisher  has a good reputation, if not  your work will be based off myth rather than facts. Lastly, research the author credentials, searching if their qualified for subject. 

· Summarize information from at least two scholarly journal articles from the UAGC Library that will support your claims for your chosen topic.

· Explain why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic.

The School Performance among Children and Adolescents during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review  and  Virtual Learning in a Pandemic and Its Effects on Lower-Income Students: How the Education Gap is Widening Beyond Repair. To support my point of views on the  advantages and disadvantages, such as children in low income homes, children were not given the proper resources, and children’s medical issues. 

The second on A VIEW OF ONLINE TEACHING AND LEARNING DURING THE PANDEMIC is to give me insight on the statistic  effect, affects, and improvements of virtual learning.
