Part A: Employee Satisfaction
Step 1: Research
Before crafting the employee satisfaction survey, I conducted comprehensive research on three essential approaches: Likert scaling, the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), and the Job Descriptive Index (JDI). Each of these methodologies contributes distinct perspectives to assess worker satisfaction, ensuring a nuanced and sophisticated understanding of the various factors impacting job fulfilment.
Job Descriptive Index (JDI):
The JDI, a renowned job satisfaction study, delves into five fundamental aspects significantly
influencing employees' happiness at work. These include coworkers, labor, compensation, promotions, and supervision. The questionnaire aims to measure respondents' levels of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with these crucial elements, providing insightful information on
specific areas that may impact overall work satisfaction (Castanheira, 2014).
Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ):
David J. Weiss's MSQ offers an alternative perspective in evaluating employee happiness. It considers intrinsic fulfillment from the nature of the profession, along with extrinsic elements
like pay, perks, contentment with prospects for career progression, and satisfaction with supervision. Consequently, the MSQ provides a more thorough examination of the extrinsic and internal factors influencing overall job satisfaction (University of Minnesota, n.d.).
Likert Scaling:
In addition to referencing well-known survey instruments like the JDI and MSQ, the questionnaire incorporates Likert scaling—a commonly used technique to measure beliefs and perspectives. Utilizing a five-point scale, respondents can numerically express their
levels of pleasure. Our questionnaire features a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5, where 1 represents the least satisfaction and 5 the maximum (Trochim, n.d.).
Creating a Comprehensive Questionnaire:
The employee satisfaction questionnaire was meticulously crafted by amalgamating elements from the JDI, MSQ, and Likert scale, comprising 12 focused questions. This amalgamation ensures the survey captures the subtleties of various aspects of job satisfaction, providing a comprehensive view of how employees perceive their duties, workplace, pay, and prospects for advancement. Likert scaling facilitates quantitative analysis, simplifying the assessment of satisfaction levels for different factors. The purpose of this thoughtfully designed questionnaire is to furnish organizations with valuable information for enhancing the overall well-being and contentment of their workforce.

The HR department at Clearwater Electronics, in conjunction with the company’s safety and health office, is developing a new safety training program that will be required for all production personnel. A pilot program was tested on a group of employees from one of the lines, and the trainers believed everything went well. After the training, line managers were asked to conduct safety observations four times a shift to gauge training success via increased safety behaviors. However, just a week after the training, one of the line managers reported that employees had left several tools out overnight instead of putting them away properly, something that was specifically covered in the training. The trainers reviewed the safety program and determined that an additional evaluation element, a contract plan, would help the employees remember and practice the safety techniques they learned in the training. Why would a contract plan be an effective way to ensure increased compliance with the…

Week 7: Interactive activity
(Case Analysis (Sorry, You're Too Smart
Have you ever been turned down for a job because you
?"were "overqualified
Although this may sound like a compliment, it can be
disappointing when you are job hunting. Consider
applicants who are turned down for jobs because they are
"too smart." This could be determined by pre-
employment testing or the interviewer may assume
applicants' cognitive ability based on education level,
GPA, or certifications. You don't often hear someone say
that an applicant is "too emotionally intelligent" or "too
physically coordinated." So why does it matter if you are
?overqualified in cognitive ability
Employers may argue that cognitively overqualified
employees will not perform well in their jobs. The lack of
challenge they feel in the job tasks could make them
bored and unmotivated and then lead to low performance.
In fact, research shows that cognitively overqualified
employees perform just as well as other employees, but

▼ RESEARCH STUDY
Employee retention is a popular topic for both managers and researchers. Here are some facts about employee turnover:
• Employees who get realistic information about the job (both positives and negatives) stay with the company longer than those who
don't.
• Employees who are offered training and development opportunities are less likely to leave than employees who do not receive these
opportunities.
• Giving employees a say in how they do their work (autonomy) increases their satisfaction with the job.
• Employees with abusive supervisors have a greater intention to quit than employees without abusive supervisors.
Following are several actions managers commonly take when confronted with turnover. Which of these actions are not supported by evidence? Check

Performance appraisal is a regular process for assessing the performance of employees in a given period conducted by the leadership. The performance is measured against such factors as job knowledge, quality and quantity of output, initiative, leadership abilities, supervision, dependability, co-operation, judgment and versatility. According to Picnicu (2020) the performance appraisal process can have a significant impact on employee morale and engagement. This method often provides valuable insights to managers and employees, helping companies make decisions regarding bonuses, raises, promotions and other rewards. It also allows managers to define medium-term and long-term objectives for their team members and help them grow professionally. Thus, getting an objective evaluation of an employee's performance will help a company identify any existing problems in the workplace. This will help the HR department to solve those problems quickly and with ease.

Implications
Practical implications these findings contribute will help determine the level of workplace bullying that occurs in blue collar settings and illuminate data that can lead companies to adapting or developing HR policies to avoid this type of bullying, especially for new or aging workers. This study can be viewed in contrast with the large amount of white collar workplace bullying studies. In theoretical implication, this study creates more research on the topic of workplace psychosocial safety investigating blue collar companies and how ageism can be a contributor to workplace bullying. This is absent in the literature and can serve as an impetus for further research. Suggestions for future research are a wider geographical area of study as this study focused on one city.
