CASE STUDY 1

ANSWER TO QUESTION: 1;
Yes, this result surprised me. Because there is a huge difference in the average worked hours of South Korea and New Zealand. So, why do not we call South Koreans that they live for work as they work more than the adults of New Zealand. The average of South Korean is 46.7 while of New Zealand is 34.9. The other thing surprised me is that countries like France, Germany and Denmark had low average worked hours than other countries like Greece, Japan etc.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: 2;
Yes, it is true that people all around the world think that U.S adults live to work. Because they are devoted to their work from their very start of adult age. Their passion is to work more and more. For them, work is more important than anything else. They are very sincere to their work. That is why they are more successful than other countries.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: 3;
Yes, the results prove that Koreans are more motivated to work. It is the simple phenomene that when we are motivated then we work hard and do for the more time. It is human psychy whenever they are motivated, thir devotion to work increases. The average of the South Korea is 46.7 hour/week, which is highest in the list. This shows they are more motivated toward work. Other thing is that it also depends upon the different factors or situations which vary from country to country.

CASE STUDY 2

ANSWER TO QUESTION: 1;
Out of the three types of organizational justice, workplace bullying most closely resembles interactional justice in which individual perceived degree to which one is treated with dignity and respect. One situation may seem as fair to one and the same situation is seem as unfair to other.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: 2;
Workplace bullying may reduce an employees esteem, safety and security, and self-actualization according to Maslows Hierarchy of Needs. Workplace bullying can also affect ones self efficacy. An employee with low self-efficacy, when bullied, can experience a decline in their already low self-efficacy which may decrease his/her need for achievement, need for power, and need for affiliation based on McClellands theory of need. There are not too many people, which if they are being bullied would want to achieve a new position, attain power, or even want to belong to such a company where other employees are bullies.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: 3;
If I were a victim of workplace bullying, I would first approach my bully and inform him/her of the inappropriate behavior. If the behavior continued and the bully was not management, then I would go to management and let them know there is a problem. If the bully was a part of management, I would do the opposite of what the bully expects my reaction to be. I think going to management would be the best thing. Retaliation and confrontation would not be effective strategies. There would be nothing worse than having workplace bullying turn into workplace violence. I would help a colleague who is or was victims of an abusive supervisor seek the necessary help in the most effective manner.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: 4;
Insecurity, lack of confidence, and low self esteem are a few factors that could contribute to workplace bullying. An employee who may be insecure or threatened about loss of his/her position may resort to bullying. An employee with low confidence and low self esteem may find an outlet to deal with these issues by bullying others. Bullies are both products of situation and flawed personalities.
