You need to edit a failed assignment and needs to be corrected per tutor’s feedback. Time is limited unfortunately..

This is a Continuation where another writer has written part 1. The one you will be writing is Part 2 . I have attached the 1st part that was written by other writer. Please make sure to read the instructions carefully, read part 1, and complete this 2nd part.

Choose any topic discussed in Chapters 4 – 15 of your textbook. Begin your paper by briefly describing the topic. Then, describe a real-life work problem related to the topic you have chosen. You may describe a problem that you have encountered in your own personal work experience or a work problem that someone you know has experienced. This should be an actual real-life story, and it should read much like a case study. Be thorough but concise in your descriiption.[Please note that this should be an actual workplace problem, not a school/student problem]. Next, what does the textbook have to say about your topic? Discuss a theory, principle, and/or research finding
that pertains to your topic as explained in your book. (e.g., According to the theory, what are the possible causes of the problem? What are the potential effects of this problem on workers and/or on the organization?) Next, find and read an empirical scientific journal (one with a method, results, and discussion section) related to your topic & describe the study that is discussed in the article. (I recommend that you use PsycINFO to find your article –please see the PSYCINFO TIPS handout in the “Syllabus” section of our course website if you need some help figuring out how to use this database). Please note that only published journal articles can be used – dissertations (or other
unpublished papers) are not allowed. For your article, you should discuss the following points:
• What research question was addressed?
• Research design: Correlational Design, Experimental Study, or Other?
If Correlational, what are the predictor(s) and criterion?
If Experimental, what are the Independent and Dependent variables?
If Other, describe variables.
• What were the findings of the study?
Next, in your own words, describe how you would solve the real-life work problem that you discussed in the first section of the paper. Imagine that you are an industrial/organizational consultant who has been asked to step in and solve the problem/case study that you described. That is, based upon what you have learned from reading the text, from attending classes, and from reading the article you selected, what steps would you take to solve this specific problem?
PAPER FORMAT
The paper must be in APA format (using the 7th edition of the APA manual); please see the “APA Style Powerpoint” that I have posted in the Syllabus section of our course website for details. I expect that you will spend about a page (maybe a little longer) on each of the sections described above, resulting in a 4-6 page paper, PLUS a title page and reference page. The paper should have 1” margins all around, and be double spaced – and you should also use a Sans Serif font (e.g., 11pt Calibri, 11pt Arial, or 10pt Lucida Sans Unicode) or a Serif font (e.g., 12pt Times New Roman, 11pt Georgia, or 10pt Computer Modern).
QUOTATIONS
Please avoid using quotations! In very, very rare instances, a quotation might be appropriate, but 99% of the time, it is not. I want to hear what YOU have to say in YOUR OWN WORDS. If you do use a direct quote, please do so very sparingly (i.e., no more than two direct quotes in your entire paper) – and please be sure to properly cite your quotation
*** Hello writer, Please follow the instructions written above. I have included the file for the textbook as well as the related course PowerPoint slide. I also uploaded a sample paper that was provided by the professor.
Textbook chapter: Chapter 10 Worker Stress ( refer to the section that accords to “stress and organizational change” )
My chosen topic of the essay: worker stress and organizational change
My experience that has to be used: I was hired as a restaurant manager at a very big Korean BBQ restaurant.
Stress factors in my experience:
Managing a team of over 30 employees, spanning both front-of-house and back-of-house roles, was a monumental task that required meticulous planning and tireless effort. My responsibilities encompassed a wide range of duties, from crafting weekly schedules based on employee availability to finding replacements for those on vacation, sick leave, or unexpected absences. Dealing with difficult customers and ensuring a smooth flow of operations further added to the complexity of my role.
One of the biggest challenges I faced was the lack of support from other managers or assistant managers, which often meant working long hours, sometimes exceeding 12-hour shifts. Despite the physical and mental strain of such demanding hours, I had to maintain control over all aspects of HR, including conducting interviews, managing hiring and firing processes, and posting job advertisements to fill vacant positions. Additionally, I conducted semi-weekly evaluations of all employees and provided detailed reports to upper management.
Financial management was another crucial aspect of my job. I monitored our sales figures, tracked costs, and calculated net profits to ensure the financial health of the restaurant. This involved careful budgeting and decision-making to optimize revenue while controlling expenses.
Technical issues were a constant concern as well. Whether it was a malfunctioning fridge or a dishwasher with hot water issues, I had to quickly find reliable repair services to minimize disruptions to our operations. Timely ordering of essential items such as linens, napkins, take-out boxes, utensils, and beverages was also part of my routine to ensure smooth functioning.
Despite my best efforts, there were instances where kitchen delays led to extended wait times for customers during peak hours. Despite not being directly responsible for these delays, I often found myself shouldering the blame and feeling ashamed for not being able to resolve the situation promptly.
The demanding nature of the job meant working through holidays, often without a break. The fear of being held responsible for any accidents or incidents in my absence made it challenging to take sick leave or time off. Even on my one day off per week, I was inundated with calls from vendors, employees, and customers seeking assistance or updates.
The relentless pace and workload took a toll on my health. I frequently skipped meals and lost a significant amount of weight within the first few months of starting the job. Despite enduring these challenges for five months, I reached a breaking point. I arranged a meeting with my boss to discuss my situation and seek improvements, but unfortunately, no significant changes were made.
Ultimately, I made the difficult decision to leave the job. It was undoubtedly the hardest and most stressful job I’ve ever had, both physically and mentally draining.
Example of solutions:
Hire Additional Management Staff: Bringing on board a couple of assistant managers or another general manager could significantly alleviate your workload. Having more hands on deck would allow for a more efficient division of responsibilities and ensure smoother operations across all departments.
Departmental Division: Consider restructuring the management setup by creating separate departments for HR and Finance. This division of labor would allow the manager to focus more on the core operational aspects of the restaurant, leading to better performance and reduced stress.
Compensation and Benefits: To mitigate the stress and recognize your efforts, offering a higher salary or additional vacation leave could be beneficial. Adequate compensation and benefits not only serve as a form of recognition but also contribute to employee satisfaction and retention.
Other Perks and Incentives: Providing other perks such as flexible work hours, wellness programs, or performance-based bonuses can also help in satisfying and compensating for the demanding nature of the job. These incentives contribute to a positive work environment and enhance employee morale.

my topic is on
TOPIC: THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF ADDICTIONGrading (100 points total)
Allocation of PointsIntroduction and background: (15 points)In this section you must provide an overview of seminal literature in the field you are researching. At least two empirical citations are required, and you need to present clear definition of new topics. For example, let’s say you are presenting on memory. In that case you will need a definition of memory and how it relates to the research question and hypothesis.
Expect 2-4 slides
The last slide of your introduction should be one with your research question and hypothesis
Method: (15 points)In this section you are providing enough information so that we can follow your logic. If we had the resources, we should be able to actually conduct the study you are proposing.
Use the smart art feature in ppt to develop a visual schematic of your design. Remember you design must be a 2 x 2- that is, two independent variables and each must have at least two levels. If you are using a subject variable, then you will have a mixed 2×2 since you are not going to manipulate.
Dependent variables must be explained in enough detail so that we understand what you are measuring.
This section should include at least one citation
Results: (15 points)Consider separating each predictive finding into a table or figure and using one graphic display per slide.
This section should include at least one citation
Conclusions/Questions: (15 points)The conclusion is where you get to be extra creative and dream big! In this section you should explain what you think the predictive findings are helpful to field.
This section should answer:Why should we care about your ideas? How will they help scientists working in this field?
Why is this important to you, your group, the class, the field at large?
What critical question does this information
How did this process help you better understand the topic at hand?
What is a future direction in the field?
What unanswered questions do you all have?
Tells a story (flow): 10 points
Visual Presentation: 10 points
Spoken Presentation: 10 points
Ability to answer questions: 10 points
Guidelines on Presentation
Read your papers very carefully, several times. You will likely need to do some background reading from the textbook, and you may need to look up some terms in the glossary or a medical dictionary.
You should become the expert on your articles (the ones cited in your presentation)- you should know the details in it as if you wrote it yourself. We do not expect (or want) you to give us all the details in your presentation, however, if I ask you a question about the details, you should know them.
Plan your presentation to last no longer than 10-15 minutes.
Prepare your presentation in PowerPoint (or alternative). Use color and graphics as well, but don’t make your slides too busy – we don’t want to be distracted from your content.
Your presentation should tell a story. It should include necessary background information, the research question, methods, results, and conclusions. End with some questions. These could be questions you have that the paper didn’t answer, new questions that are raised by the research, problems that you identified with the study, or general discussion questions.
Methods are very important. Present (or know) enough detail so that your audience clearly understands what was done. One way to do this is to pretend that we are subjects and demonstrate the procedures as much as possible.A phrase I like to hear is “If you were a subject in this experiment, you would…”. This “experiential” approach also makes your presentation more interesting for your audience.
Results are also very important. Present your predictive results in a way that is easy for your audience to grasp – often this will be done with a graph or table. When you show us a graph or a table, use your fingers (or a pointer) to show us what is interesting about it, which points you want us to compare, and explain to use what the data tell us.
Expect questions and interruptions. It is ok to say that you don’t know the answer to a question (I do it all the time).
Practice your presentation. Maintain eye contact; speak clearly and loudly enough for us to hear you. You will not be allowed to read from notes, but I will let you use cue cards if needed (not recommended). Often your slides can act as cue cards as well.

One
of the roles of a forensic psychologist is to complete mental health assessments. Criminal behavior may have many origins, and mental health assessment offers one way to identify neurological and psychological factors that may be applied to specific circumstances. There’s been a long history of applying different forms of the “insanity defense” in criminal cases as well as considering one’s competency to stand trial. Mental health discussions arise for many reasons in criminal cases. In this first assessment, you will explore the use of mental health assessments in a particular situation as well consider how ethics influence such assessment.
Step 1: Choose one of the following topics:
Assessing offenders for competency to stand trial.
Assessing offenders for potential insanity defense.
Assessing offenders for mental health issues for other reasons.
Step 2: Please read the articles in the Assessment 1: Research section of your reading list.
Step 3: Use the Psychology Ethics
resource to read about ethics that can apply to the assessment of offenders. Consider the implications of Section 2, Competence, and Section 9, Assessment, in relation to using the DSM-5-TR for forensic psychology work.
