This case describes the different attitudes the worker and his supervisor have about their work. The reason Walt Henderson, the drafting technicians working in the Wilson Construction Company, has some disagreement with his supervisor Ken Hardy is that they have different attitudes toward their work. According to the textbook, attitude is a person’s favorable or unfavorable thoughts about different aspects, such as people, job, and religion (Robbins & Judge, 2013). In this case study, we are going to evaluate Walt’s attitude towards his work and why he has this attitude.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), often referred to as the "OSH Act," was enacted in 1970 by President Richard M. Nixon. Its purpose is to assure safe and healthful working conditions for men and women (EPA, 2006). The Act is administered and enforced at the national level by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a division of the US Department of Labor. The application of the OSH Act in the current employment climate will be discussed as it applies to a variety of industries; considerations that are most applicable to the specific type of industry will be discussed initially, and those that are equally important regardless of the type of business will complete the section. Finally, this paper will discuss how the

This is an electronics company that has been in play since 1976. The name for the company was changed two times from Apple Computer, Inc. in 1976 to Apple, Inc. in 2009. This company knew that they were not the only ones in the industry, therefore they needed bright minds to work for them. The founders of this company were Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. As sellers of consumer electronics they innovated the way to look at technology. They created computers, laptops, cellular phones, I-pads and I-pods. What made this company unique is that their teamwork had in a sense a well knowledge of paradoxical thinking. What do I mean by saying this? As the technologies advance their way of doing things must change as well. This is when paradoxical thinking comes in to action. As competitors they must use different ways of manufacturing their products, they must know what the competency is up to so they can come up with something different and unique. As the author K. R. Ravi states, “write that companies that survive are those, among other things ,that do not oppress themselves with the ‘tyranny of the OR’—the rational view that cannot easily accept paradox, that cannot live with two seemingly contradictory forces at the same time” (p.3). This is when they start thinking out of their box and not only go and with what competitors are creating, but instead use their minds to create a new device that has

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) was developed and approved because of the escalating costs of accidents and illnesses in the workplace. According to Gomez-Mejia, Balkin, and Cardy (2010), OSHA is a national law that requires organizations to offer a safe and healthy workplace, to conform with particular occupational and health standards, and to document job-related injuries and diseases.

It took many years for the commissions and unions to get the changes implemented. Today, regardless of OSHA enforcement, there are still workplaces with locked or blocked emergency exits. Due to the lesson that was learned in the Triangle fire, we now have organizations like OSHA, NFPA, state and local municipals that make code and enforce standards. Their goal is to ensure the safety of lives and property by enforcing the codes and standards of all workplaces

After all of the above I would think that more business would want to make sure they are complying with OSHA standards, if not exceeding the standard.
