Application Case 4

APPLICATIONS Integrating Competencies and Job Requirements

The analysis of work for staffing requires attention to both person/organization and person/job matches. Staffing specialists and HR executives can put these pieces together by becoming knowledgeable about both top-down (competency) and bottom-up (job requirements) methods of analyzing work. To understand this process, select an organization you are familiar with. It can be your school, your workplace, or an organization where you would like to work. Within that workplace, identify at least three different jobs at various levels as a starting point. For example, you might study administrative staff, professors, and deans at a university; customer service representatives, managers, and executives in a retail environment; waitstaff, cooks, and managers at a restaurant; nurses, doc-tors, and administrators at a hospital, and so on. To conduct the competency portion of the analysis, review the material in the chapter and create a plan for learning about job-spanning competencies. Deter-mine who is most likely to have the relevant information and, if possible, contact at least three people in the organization who can provide relevant information on competencies. Pay particular attention to the organization’s strategic goals, mission, and cultural profile when collecting this information. This information can be supplemented by looking at the organization’s website or annual reports. To conduct the job requirements portion of the analysis, again review the relevant material in the chapter and create a plan for learning about job requirements and their associated KSAOs. If possible, contact at least three people in the organization who can describe their own jobs. Pay particular attention to the tasks individuals complete regularly, evaluate the relative proportion or time of each task, and then match tasks to KSAOs. This information can be supplemented by looking at O*NET.

Once you have the information on competencies and job requirements, evaluate the following questions:

1. What differences did you find in the process of collecting information? Did you identify different KSAOs from your competency model relative to your job requirements analysis?

2. How does job requirements information give additional insight above and beyond what you learned from competency modeling? How does competency modeling give additional insight above and beyond what you learned from job requirements information?

3. How would you use the information you have gathered for developing recruit-ing, selection, and retention strategies?

Discussion: Disaster Relief and the Military

Respond to Peer post in 150 Words

Peer discussion post:

In the past the National Guard has been used for disaster relief from fighting wildfires using specially modified C-130 aircraft, to helping evacuate people from rooftops and aiding in relief operations which was showcased during the Katrina Hurricane relief.  Using the National Guard to assist state emergencies is very much normal and allowed by law.  The Governor of the state in which the National Guard is mobilized in is absolutely allowed under the constitution.  Other states can ask for assistance and in those instances the National Guard is able to be mobilized outside of their state of record under title 32 authorities.  In 2020 many states such as Illinois mobilized their Guard force to assist with COVID-19 portocols. “The Illinois National Guard falls under the command and control of the governor of Illinois. So, when the governor calls in the National Guard, it means that the state pays for the soldiers and the use of the equipment. Sometimes there are other states that will need assistance. That’s done through agreements between the states.” (Jaffe 2020)

The Active Duty however, is a much different story.  Active duty members cannot in theory be deployed within the United States under title 20 authority.  The Active Duty can in some instances be deployed throughout the United States but only when certain criteria are met such as domestic threats.  The Active Duty is more suited for deployment to assist with overseas relief. Overseas relief is a much more common use of the Active Duty such as when they deployed to assist with Haiti, Pakistan flooding, and Nepals major earthquake.  These examples are far more normal for the active component of our military.

Nongeographical factors

When you are engaging communities, it is important to understand the nongeographical factors within the community (e.g., professional, spiritual, ethnic, racial, sexual orientation). For this assignment, build on last week’s work to explain how you will engage a specific community.

Assume you have been asked to describe your community to a new potential employer (e.g., the next Amazon headquarters, a large factory). This company is looking to understand why your community would be the best place to invest their resources. It is up to you to describe the strengths and challenges of your community to support the investment of this employer. Be sure to be honest about the challenges facing your community while being an advocate for what the community has to offer.

For your identified community, address the following:

  • Explain the strengths of the community you are assessing.
  • Determine the inherent challenges in that community.
  • Interpret the reasons members belong to that community.
  • Analyze the impact of community membership on specific community members.
  • Identify the leaders (both elected and unelected) of the community.
  • Consider how you, as a social worker, would engage members of the community to support your advocacy efforts.

Are children of “tall parents” as tall as their parents? And similarly, are children of “short parents” as short as their parents? Does the assumption of having 928 parents rather than 205 matter for this exercise?

Galton, F. (1886):

Part 1: Analysis with Galton’s original data set Galton’s work on children and parents’ height was published in: Galton, F. (1886): “Regression towards mediocrity in hereditary stature”, Journal of the Anthropological Institute, 15: 246-63. In this first part of the project you are asked to reconstruct the original data from this original article and replicate his analysis.

  • Question 1.1. Find Galton’s original article (you can use www.jstor.org). You can also find it on LEARN. On Table I of his article, the data used is summarized. You need to create a STATA data set that contains the 928 observations that Galton collected. It is recommended that you first type the data in an excel file and then have STATA read that file. Some versions of the Galton data set are available online. You are advised NOT to use them. It is part of this project that you show that you understand how to make a data set from such a table. There are important conceptual issues that you will miss if you borrow the data from somewhere else.

(i) For those observations reported in Table I of Galton’s article as “below” or “above” the minimum and maximum height values, you need to assume some particular values. Please state these explicitly in a table (Table 1.1.a.) and provide a justification with one sentence.

(ii) Given your assumptions, what is the sample mean height and standard deviation for adult children and for parents, respectively? Report this in a table (Table 1.1.b.).

  • Question 1.2. For the rest of part 1, assume that there are 928 parents in the sample rather than 205. Define “tall parents” and “short parents”. Then divide your sample into two corresponding groups.

(i) Are children of “tall parents” as tall as their parents? And similarly, are children of “short parents” as short as their parents? Report your results in a table.

(ii) Does the assumption of having 928 parents rather than 205 matter for this exercise?

  • Question 1.3. Galton was the first to describe and explain the phenomenon of “regression to- wards the mean”. Being concerned about the height of the English aristocracy, he interpreted his results as “regression to mediocrity” (hence the name “regression”).

(i) Regress the height of adult children against the height of parents. Report your results in a table and interpret the estimated coe
