The objective of this task is to demonstrate your understanding of key organisational behaviour concepts by applying them to a real-world business case. Using a business case you are required to ident

Task Two Outline

Objective: For Task 2, you are required to create a video presentation (5-7 minutes). You will expand on your work in Task 1, where you used Organisational Behaviour (OB) concepts to identify the symptoms of a problem within a business case and provided recommendations. In this task, you will apply the Code of Practice for Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work and the Job Demand-Resource (JD-R) Theory to further analyse the business case. Your goal is to demonstrate how these frameworks can address the psychosocial risks identified in the case. Important Information:

Weighting: 50%

Length/Duration: 6-7 minutes (+/- 10%)

Presentation structure:

1. Introduction: Overview of the Business and Situation – estimated duration 1-1.5 minutes:

Provide a brief recap of the business case from Task 1. Reiterate the symptoms and main problem identified in the case. Use references to academic literature to support your analysis of the symptoms and problem.

2. Overview of the Code of Practice for Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work – estimated duration 1-1.5 minutes:

Present a concise overview of the key elements of the Code of Practice. Explain the role of the code in identifying and managing common psychosocial risks, such as job demands, low job control, and poor support etc. Highlight the practical implications of the code for addressing risks in organisational contexts.

3. Overview of Job Demand-Resource Theory - estimated duration 1-1.5 minutes:

Introduce JD-R theory by explaining its core components, e.g. job demands and job resources, the dual process model, etc. Use references to academic literature to help explain the main tenants of the theory.

4. Linking the business case to the code of practice and JD-R theory – estimated duration 2 minutes:

Explain how the Code of Practice and JD-R theory provides practical strategies for managing these risks in the business context. Use both the JD-R model and the Code of Practice to propose solutions for balancing job demands with appropriate resources with reference to academic literature.

Analyse the psychosocial risks (e.g., high job demands, low support, low job control) present in the business case. Show how the Code of Practice addresses these risks through practical strategies. Integrate the JD-R Theory by explaining how to mitigate the effects of high job demands and promote employee well-being.

Provide recommendations based on both the Code of Practice and the JD-R Theory for addressing the main problem in the business.

5. Conclusion – estimated duration 30 seconds -1 minute

Summarise how the combined use of the Code of Practice and JD-R Theory offers practical and theoretical solutions to manage psychosocial risks in the business case. Reaffirm the recommendations and emphasise their benefits for improving individual/workplace outcomes.

6. Reference slides – estimated duration 30 seconds

Ensure you include slides of references. Remember to include a reference anytime you paraphrase information.

Note on the use of AI:

You can use AI to generate ideas and help you understand the topic. There are also some great AI literature searching tools, like https://www.researchrabbit.ai/ which can help you find academic journal articles.

You cannot use AI to write the presentation slides, script, or write any elements of the information you provide. Be careful when using tools like Grammarly as this can rewrite sentences and will flag in Turnitin as AI.

If a high AI/plagiarism score is identified by Turnitin you will lose marks across each criterion. See the Marking Rubric document for more information concerning each criterion.

If you are using AI tools, please learn what they can and cannot do, then use them critically. Note that AI tools can generate incorrect or misleading results so make sure you use them with care and critical judgement.

Make sure to adhere to academic integrity guidelines and properly cite all sources used in your report.

Submission Guidelines:

Submit your presentation as PowerPoint slides and include a recorded MP4 video.
