Working Ahead

Part One: Planning

The specialized interview is intended to unfold the truth concerning the deeds and actions of Bob in the workplace. In particular, it is designed to help decipher if at all the allegations pegged on Bob by the anonymous email are justifiable and can be used as the basis for making a conclusion. The interview planning is another important aspect that must be given the right approach to obtain the desired results. Given that the matter at hand is so sensitive. As an investigator in the case, I will consider some items such as physical and psychological factors, means of administering the interview, as well as obeying the rights and responsibility of the interviewee.

To begin with, bearing in mind the profound impact that physical environment has on the outcomes of an interview; I would prefer to organize a meeting with Bob in a secured place that is free from disturbances and noise. Additionally, I would prefer to conduct the session in a room that is private that would help instill in my client the fact that the process is meant to help furnish the management with the right information regarding his status at the workplaces. Moreover, I would also ensure that I develop an interactive environment between my client that dispels any form of fear and fright to increase his confidence and enhance his contribution in the process and me. By asserting to my clients the fact that the interview is basically to help the organization to access some vital information that would be in their custody rather than using the information they provide as a way of victimizing them helps in dispelling any form of fear that the respondents may harbor as they respond to issues. The mode of conducting the interview is another significant facet in planning. Because the matter is very sensitive, I would prefer to use telephone interview in interrogating the respondents; this is because phone interview is efficient regarding time management. However, phone interviews are not appropriate for lengthy discussions as they tend to be expensive. Additionally, it is hard to establish the truth and level of commitment in a telephone interview.

The respondent whom I will consider for the interview of the case of Bob will come from three distinct areas: firstly, I will interrogate his former teachers to get to understand better his early life in school. Additionally, these are some of the people with whom Bob has had long term relationship and are therefore in a better position to testify about his character and personality. Secondly, I would also consider interviewing the department of armed forces to get to know his character traits during the time he was attached to the disciplined forces before he was eventually released on medical grounds. This class of respondents is important as it will help me gather information regarding the conduct of Bob as a young adult after completion of his elementary education. The third category of respondents that I would administer an interview to is the department of police. This class of interviewees will be in a better position to present the criminal records of all citizens, therefore by engaging them in an interview. Through this, I will be able to get the finer details of Bob's criminal records that would be significantly substantive in drawing meaningful and objective conclusions as to whether or not Bob is a harsh employee as depicted in the email. Finally, I would also consider interviewing psychiatrist to decipher whether the quire behavior exhibited by Bob is as a result of mental disorder or whether it is a mere pretext. After gathering all the vital information that would assist in making a logical conclusion, I consider it imperative to let Bob know that the whole exercise is not punitive in any way. But rather it is an evaluation process to help the management and leadership of the organization to understand better the allegations that have been pegged on him.

In dealing with the case of Bob, I would employ two instruments in assessing his personality namely: Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) and Borderline Personality Test and Relationships. AUDIT is appropriate for Bob's case following the fact that personnel records reveal that at one point he had absconded duty due to heavy drinking. It is therefore imperative to administer this test to Bob to establish whether it is as a result of heavy intake of alcohol that he becomes disorganized. Similarly, given that he currently lives as a single bachelor, BPDT and Relationship is essential to unravel the primary cause of this kind of lifestyle in Bob. To efficiently handle any form of resistance from Bob during the interview session, I would prefer to apply the psychological approach in dealing with bottlenecks by informing him first hand that the information that he shall provide during interview will not be used in any way to antagonize him, but rather it is meant to help unravel the abuse for poor relationship between him and other employees.

Part Two

Reinert, D. F., & Allen, J. P. (2007). The alcohol use disorders identification test: an update of research findings. Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 31(2), 185- 199.

According to Reinert and Allen, (2007) alcohol is one of the drugs that are commonly abused by many people. This frequently results in some social as well as legal problems. Additionally, alcohol use predisposes human beings to a variety of disorders, diseases, and injuries, both at the workplace as well as in private life. Due to the magnitude of problems associated with intake of alcohol, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), is a valuable risk assessment tool that is not only used by medical practitioners Burt also other departments to ascertain the level of alcohol content in an individual. Alcohol screening thus serves to detect the magnitude of damage that intake of alcohol, in particular for those involved in hazardous drinking, can cause to such individuals. In practice, AUDIT can be applicable in some different scenarios. For instance, it may be used in court by the court officials and counselors on DWI offenders and other violent criminals to ascertain the root course of their actions. Also, healthcare providers use this tool in assessing the patients that are faced with the challenges of impaired social and occupational functioning such as individual's confronted with marital problems, cases of child neglect and irresponsible parenthood among others. In the workplace, AUDIT is a very valuable tool that human resource personnel and employee assistant staffs use to monitor the primary cause of truancy, low output, absenteeism and chronic accidents in the workplace. This tool is therefore used in administering questionnaires for employees with chronic asterism and social disorders to help gauge the leading causes of their problems. It is in this regard that this tool was used in the case of Bob since based on personnel report findings; he is a truant and also has problems in meeting the set targets. Moreover, given the fact that he leads a single life, it is clear that this tool would be bee more appropriate in addressing his case.

This test typically investigates the social parameters of an individual such as family ties and responsible parenthood. Additionally, it concentrates on the possible causes of disunity among people who should be living as couples. In line with the fact that Bob lives as a single bachelor, this tool is very critical in developing an inquiry on the would be causes of living such a secluded life by Bob taking cognizance of the fact that he is in his prime age of having a stable social relationship. Moreover, because his relationship with college employees is also gloomy, the BPD test is an entirely appropriate tool for administering the questionnaire on the issues facing Bob.

It is imperative to note that despite the reliable results posted by AUDIT a tool for assessing disorders caused by hazardous alcohol intake by individuals in the workplace, there are some shortcomings that are linked to the assessment tool; for instance, the sequence of the AUDIT items has a profound influence on the drinking patterns of clients. Additionally, when used in aesthetic, the withdrawal effects may in certain cases result into the suppression of the individual under investigation. Furthermore, AUDIT cannot effectively help develop a permanent remedy to the problems caused by intake of alcohol. In conclusion, the USPSTF concludes that the evidence so presented is insufficient to rely on wholesomely in drawing the logical conclusion.

According to the American Journal of Psychiatry, there is a glaring discrepancy posted by BPD. As envisaged by McGalash et al. (2004), Personality Assessment Inventory reveals the deviation displayed by using this tool may lead to the wrong conclusion. Additionally, the findings are made by the extent to which the respondent in question is accurate and realistic. Therefore, this tool may be subject to bias when used to administer interview to clients. In the preceding, BPD is not quite reliable, especially in instances where the respondent is the targeted client to be investigated since the respondent may give responses suited to achieve his or her objective rather than revealing the truth.
