Read the first scenario, you are Chris Winslow. Read attribution theory in your textbook and apply it to this scenario (specifically discuss consistency, consensus and distinctiveness). As Chris Winslow, given your analysis of the three factors above do you make an internal or external attribution to your employee’s behavior. Now read the second scenario and perform the same analysis; what is your conclusion now. Finally, read Alex’s perspective, what had you not taken into account? How does this exercise change how you might go about dealing with performance issues as a manager?
Element 1: Answer the following in a well written comprehensive answer (no less than 350 words).
Discuss Scenario A and B using attribution theory — provide the specifics applying the model and the three factors to each scenario (so for each discuss whether consistency, consensus and distinctiveness are high or low). Then read Alex’s perspective and note what information you learned that might affect how you deal with the issue.
