This will go all the way to increasing performance and job satisfaction among the employees. To achieve effective teamwork, there is a need to have a shared purpose.

Please understand that the management is taking these steps to enhance organization performance, job satisfaction among employees, and create incentives for the employees. Thank you for your cooperation, should you have any question, channel it to the social services offices. Part two To From Date Subject: Communication process Dear all, Am glad to share several aspects of effective communication that are essential in public organizations. Some of the aspects I would like to share are communication process, possible threat to the communication process, communication networks, and internal communication. The communication process has four key elements. They include sender, encoding, channel, and decoding. The sender is the source of information; the information might consist of both verbal and nonverbal messages. Encoding is transforming the information to signals for it to be sent via a communication channel. The channel is the medium of information transfer to the recipient, while decoding is the process where the recipient translates the information that is either seen or heard to a concrete meaning that can be internalized. The receiver is the person whom the information was directed to. There are various threats to the communication process. Noise, uncomfortable communication, language barrier, and less active listening are major threats that can affect the communication process. However, a good communication network can solve them. There is three common communication network for an organization. Communication networks play a crucial role in providing information on job opportunities for job applicants. The wheel network illustrates the centralized communication. The communication flow is from one person. The circle communication network is a communication flow from one person to two or three other recipients who are next to them. The star network allows decentralized communication flow among all recipients, while the chain network provides communication flow to all recipients who are at the end of the chain. Lastly, the Y-network is a communication flow among two recipients who are at the center of the network. Regardless of the communication network used in an organization, the communication flow is important to managers as they are supposed to create a positive impression on various stakeholders in the organization. This should be done to reduce the negative effects of poor internal communication Internal communication in an organization involves the communication flow between individuals or groups of people at a different level. The aim of internal communication is to communicate information on design, implementation of designs, and to coordinate the daily activities in the organization. It is vital in business performance since it enhances information sharing on the organization vision, and also it enables the employees to cope with changes that occur in the organization. Therefore poor internal communication has negative impacts on the organization. Some of the effects are poor morale, lower employee performance and productivity, low organization performance, and high employee turnover. Best regards Part three Conflicts and performance In several organizations, conflicts are common occurrences. Often, people in an organization can block the action or decision of another person. According to the study done in the US, employees spent at least 2.1 hours in every week on conflicts. The authors of consulting psychologist found out that conflicts had a huge financial impact on an organization as they, in most cases, disrupted the smooth flow of activities. However, according to organizational behavior research, conflicts can have both positive and negative impacts on the performance of an organization. Functional conflicts align the organizational goals and improve their performance while the dysfunctional conflicts that hurt the workplace relationship, thus affecting the performance. If an organization has low conflict cases, indifferences and lack of discussions on important issues might be the reasons, thus hampering the performance, this is contrary to conflicts that are aligned to the objectives and are less personal. They boost performance. Therefore, conflicts are not all that bad. Performance of an organization can begin to suffer only if the conflicts are too much and begin to be disruptive. Third-party interventions Often leaders are expected to intervene to solve conflicts among the workforce. They are expected to understand individual employee grievances, identify their needs, understand the source of conflict, and give an equal chance to all involved in the conflict to express their feeling about the issue in question. There are several approaches that can be used by leaders to resolve conflicts. Involving a neutral third party can restore a damaged relationship and bring reconciliation through mediation. Mediation is effective as it enhances fairness and satisfaction to both parties. It improves relationships, performance, and workforce morale and reduces the stress among the employees. Therefore leaders should use mediators to solve conflicts as they help the parties reach a consensus through participation, reparation, forgiveness, and reintegration, unlike other conflict resolution techniques. Cross-cultural conflict resolution In situations where there are cultural differences, conflict resolution techniques also differ. Different culture and norms can mold an individual’s personality to either love harmony over discord, be more competitive or even individualistic, be facts oriented, or use emotion appeals for persuasions. The leaders are expected to consider the effect of both local and national cultures on an individual, in terms of their perception about the conflict and how to solve them. They are expected to adapt to changes and always adjust the conflict styles when needed to. Both private and public sector is governed and defined by different organizational cultures. Hence cross-cultural conflict resolution techniques are used. Therefore, leaders should incorporate several skills in resolving cross cultural conflicts. Some of the skills include good listening skills, sensitive to individual needs, be participative, compassionate, and be a mentor, and avoid competition. Bargaining in conflict resolution Often bargaining in conflict resolution begins with building relationships. Creating a good rapport with a partner reduces the chances of the other party getting angry during negotiations. There are two types of bargaining in conflict resolution, distributive and integrative bargaining. Distributive bargaining involves the win-lose strategy while the integrative win-win strategy. Both the approaches are efficient as they enhance economic outcomes and emotional integration among the employees. Also, the techniques are efficient in the public sector as they create mutual relationship among the employees. They can be used in both big and small ways and bring appealing results.

We can work on Law and Ethical Reasoning Name of Student Institutional Affiliation  Law and Ethical Reasoning Living a will provide people with the opportunity to state their preferences about the type of medical treatment they can receive if they are unable to give informed consent (Rao, 2000). The living wills are useful in any case where the patient cannot state their medical choices. In a large number of states, pregnant women do not have equal right as other people to create and adhere to a living will. The justification for the exclusion of pregnant women is that they may not have considered the effects of their choices during pregnancy. These statutes claim to protect women who would be devastated to find out that the doctor continued with a life-ending treatment while in fact, she would have chosen to continue with life-sustaining treatment to give the fetus an opportunity to grow. Living wills for pregnant women are heavily influenced by the politics surrounding abortion. Most state legislatures have a clause to sidestep the living will as it is only logical to protect the life of the unborn baby by giving the incapacitated pregnant woman life-sustaining treatment. However, this decision does not consider that forcing medical care on the pregnant patient violates her autonomy as a woman. The pregnancy exemption laws impermissibly restrict the woman’s right to refuse unwanted medical intervention as well as their right to abortion. These exemptions also infringe on the pregnant woman’s ability to control their end of life healthcare, more commonly known as the “right to die” (Villarreal, 2018). In most cases, the illness or accident that incapacitates a pregnant woman also jeopardizes the health and survival of the fetus. Therefore, continuing the pregnancy is often futile. Maintaining a woman on life support is harmful to the fetus because ventilators and catheters often cause an infection that further jeopardizes the development of the fetus. The exemption of a pregnant woman from the right to enact a living will do not allow for the consideration of the pregnant woman’s pain, the growth of the unborn baby or the prognosis of the unborn baby (Villarreal, 2018). Pregnancy exemptions to living wills are unconstitutional, not only because they create an undue burden on the woman’s right to have an abortion before the fetus is viable but also because the state’s interest in the prospective life of the unborn baby cannot overrule a woman’s right to refuse medical care. In Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the court stated that women maintained the right to terminate a pregnancy before it was viable (Villarreal, 2018). However, the state’s interest in life would be allowed to proceed only if the restriction on the woman’s right to choose does not place an undue burden on the woman. If the woman is incapacitated due to injury or illness, continuing the pregnancy infringes on their right to choose by placing an undue burden on the woman (Epstein & Walker, 2013). Most states with the exemptions on pregnancy women coerce women into accepting unwanted medical care if it is possible that the fetus will grow to pave way for “live birth”; a standard that is vague and medically uncertain and therefore places an undue burden on the rights of women to abortion. In In re Quinlan, the court ruled that the individual’s right to privacy also includes the right to decline from unwanted medical care as well as the right to abortion (Rao, 2000). The ruling found that the state cannot compel unwanted medical care on people that have expressed their wish to stop life-sustaining medical care to medical professionals and others through the healthcare power of an attorney. This ruling should take precedence when a pregnant woman is incapacitated. The state’s interest in human life should not outweigh the person’s right to refuse unwanted medical care. Therefore, the state’s interest should not justify the violation of a woman’s bodily autonomy notwithstanding how far along she is in the pregnancy (Epstein & Walker, 2013). In my opinion, society should choose to maintain the woman’s autonomy over her body, above all else. If the patient is incapacitated with no signs of recovery, I will opt to discontinue treatment. Continuing to put a woman such as nancy under medical care would place a burden on her dying body to support a fetus. It would also lengthen the suffering of the patient. The purpose of medical care is to alleviate suffering not to increase it. Also, continuing to give medical care does not guarantee the survival of the fetus. It may also lead to the birth of an infant with severe defects. This infant would then begin a life with difficulties, and the chances of their survival would be minimized due to the lack of a mother. Continuing medical care also places financial stress on the family as well as the healthcare providers. Even though theoretically, the patients financial status should not determine the level of care they receive, in reality, it is among the most crucial factors in determining a patient’s access to healthcare. Therefore, society should consider the financial implications too. References Epstein, L., & Walker, T. G. (2013). Constitutional Law: Rights. Sage. Rao, R. (2000).
