Colorado State University: Global Campus
Research Populations Affected
This week, you are researching various elements that will go into your final case study as part of your final Community Action Plan. Review the Portfolio Project description and grading rubric in the Module 8 folder.
This week, conduct research on the following:
Which populations are affected by the public health issue you have selected?
Describe the demographics of this population in detail. How old are they?
Where do they live?
What is their health like currently?
What do we already know about the population you have identified?
Where are our gaps in knowledge?
What are some of the possible solutions to the issue you have identified, and how would these solutions influence public health overall?
Sample Solution
Homelessness in Austin, Texas School
Homelessness is a unique and complex issue. The number of people experiencing homelessness in Austin hit a 10-year high in 2020 [ECHO, 2020]. The populations most affected by homelessness in Austin include the black Austinites, veterans, and young people. Black people are still over-represented proportionately with the homeless community. While they make up roughly 8% of the city’s population, 36.5 percent of those surveyed in January 2020 [ECHO] identified as black. Ending homelessness and building a strong foundation for people is only possible when our whole community is committed to a more vibrant Austin for all. Stable housing is where our work to end homelessness begins. Food services ensure people have healthy food as they rebuild their lives. Education classes teach life skills to help people reach their full potential. Employment will build a strong family foundation for the families. Lastly, veterans assistance; those who served our country should never find themselves homeless. Together, we can end homelessness and see our community thrive.
For the class talk, we settled on a “genuine world” model and an extra exact examination to expand on the information on the theme of injurious administration – which is normally viewed as oppressive supervision in writing.
“This present reality” model utilized was a YouTube video called the “manager from damnation”. The video delineates a circumstance wherein the chief (for example harsh pioneer) was reacting to the new worker (for example subordinate) with absurd disagreeable comments (for example showing unfriendly verbal practices) because of the worker’s inability to give the correct kind of sugar for the manager’s espresso. A portion of the unfriendly reactions incorporate “You have no cerebrum” and “What you think amounts to nothing. What you feel amounts to nothing. You are here for me”. Tepper (2000, p.178) characterized harsh supervision as “subordinates’ view of the degree to which chiefs take part in the supported presentation of threatening verbal and nonverbal practices, barring physical contact”. The principle connection portrayed in the video fits in pleasantly with the meaning of injurious supervision.
The collaborator who was not some portion of the primary communication was likewise in the blink of an eye treated with antagonistic comments upon the manager’s leave, for instance, “Ha Rex! What a name. Has a place with a mutt. I mean on the off chance that I can get hound kid here a vocation,”. Which was a genuine case of how the objectives of harsh supervision isn’t really a circumstance just between the immediate boss and the principle focus of intrigue, however be influencing neighboring collaborators who were only spectators of the oppressive supervision experience (Tepper, Simon, and Park, 2017). Steady with social correlation hypothesis, the negative impacts of injurious supervision on mishandled subordinates are likewise affected by the manner in which administrators treat the central subordinates’ colleagues; whereby the negative impacts are fortified when the objective is singled out from their friends (Huo, Lam, and Chen, 2012).
Another commitment of the video is the manner by which the supervisor attempted to legitimize his antagonistic verbal conduct by saying that he is simply attempting to support him. This piece of the video was seen as fascinating dependent on the remarks from the class in the wake of viewing the video too. Whereby a couple of understudies addressed whether that type of avocation could be adding to the supportability of the damaging supervision conduct, and its apparent adequacy by the subordinates. It could likewise be seen for instance of grating supervision as opposed to injurious, which shows the fluffy line between the qualifications of the two ideas that would have been intriguing to examine about (Tepper, Simon, and Park, 2017). Likewise, the consummation of the video demonstrated how the objective of the damaging supervision reacted after the circumstance. Following the collaboration, he disguised it, accused himself, and indicated express dissatisfaction and frustration towards himself. This was a genuine case of an outcome of injurious supervision on subordinates’ mental prosperity (Tepper, 2000).
For the extra exact examination, we chose the Tepper, Moss, and Duffy (2011) paper that inspected three potential indicators of oppressive supervision – chief impression of profound level disparity, relationship struggle, and boss assessments of subordinates’ exhibition. The investigation discoveries gave some understanding with respect to why a few subordinates become focuses of harsh supervision over others. The three elements explored in their investigation indicated huge outcomes advising how harsh supervision could be anticipated and in this manner, be counteracted if intercessions joined those variables in its proposals. This examination was picked as Tepper, Simon, and Park (2017) audit of the damaging authority writing incorporated the study of the absence of contemplated precursors. Larger part of the examination is still on the results of damaging supervision, however enlightening, explore on the precursors would be helpful in giving bits of knowledge to advise experts’ work for intercessions with the intend to dispense with the effect of supervisory maltreatment.
Another motivation to why we needed to give another examination foreseeing the event of oppressive supervision, is that from past class exchange, there was noteworthy enthusiasm for how we could counteract undesirable and additionally unfortunate work environment circumstances from occurring in any case. In spite of the fact that finding out about how to manage the results are significant, the perfect circumstance is to realize how to anticipate them. In this manner, it would have been valuable to address another examined indicator other than the necessary perusing that found the roundabout impact of rest quality by means of pioneer sense of self exhaustion on injurious supervision (Barnes, Lucianetti, Bhave, and Christian, 2015).
Thusly, the motivation to why I thought the You tube video “manager from damnation” would be a decent “genuine world” model, was that it secured a couple of various segments of harsh supervision that ought to be brought to consideration and thought. What’s more, the Tepper, Moss, and Duffy (2011) observational examination shared another intriguing indicator of oppressive supervision separated from the chief’s nature of rest and the general audit of the precursors canvassed in the Tepper, Simon, and Park (2017) paper. When contrasted with accentuating the negative outcomes of harsh administration – which will in general be the predominant enthusiasm of concentrate in research and practice – , we needed to feature the significance of anticipating the bothersome conduct.
