1. Identify the behavior models and leadership dynamics discussed so far in the course that most closely match the organization you have selected. Provide relevant examples for how these behavior models and leadership dynamics were demonstrated in the organization.

2. Determine the role that group and team dynamics have in influencing the model of leadership in a health care organization.

3. Describe the role of conflict theory, power, and politics in the organizational collaboration by providing examples from interdepartmental relationships, chain of command, team building and hierarchy, reporting structures, etc.

4. Discuss diversity as it is exhibited in the organizational structure through the mission, vision, and goals of the identified organization.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. See updated APA 7th edition changes attached. Please include intext-citations and references

Paper Setup

·

APA now has different title page requirements for student papers. This title page does not require a running head and has a different set of information to include. See APA Style: Student Title Page Guide.

· Titles of papers are now bolded, with a blank line before the author’s name.

· There is no font requirement if the font is legible and consistent.

· The heading for the References list is now bolded.

· There are now guidelines for annotated bibliographies.

·

In-Text Citations

APA has simplified in-text citations regarding multiple authors. If there are one or two authors, list their names:

(Smith, 2019); (Smith & Jones, 2019)

 

For three or more authors, list only the first author’s name and then et al.

(Smith et al., 2019)

 

Formatting Author Names

In the opposite direction, APA now requires listing up to 20 authors for a source in the references list. This is a change from 8 in the 6th edition. For works with more than 20 authors, list the first 19, insert an ellipsis point, and then list the last author’s name.

Smith, J., Jones, B. E., Brown, K. E., Doe, J., Chan, L., Garcia, S. M., White, C-G., Fernández, J., Ahmed, A. J., Zhào, L., Cohen, D., Watanabe, K., Kim, K., Del Rosario, J., Yilmaz, P. K., Nguyễn, T., Wilson, T. H., Wang, W., Kahale, A. … Zhang, Z. Z. (Date). Title. Source.

Books

For books, no longer list the publication location.

George, M. W. (2008). The elements of library research: What every student needs to know. Princeton University Press.

 

If a book has a DOI assigned to it, add it to the end of the reference.

Samanez-Larkin, G. R. (Ed.). (2019). The aging brain: Functional adaptation across adulthood. American Psychological Association. https://doi.org/10.1037/0000143-000

 

eBooks should be cited exactly as print books. Do not include a database.

Keating, D. P. (Ed.). (2010). Nature and nurture in early child development. Cambridge University Press.

 

Sacred texts should now be included in the references list (the 6th edition only required an in-text citation).

The Bhagavad Gita. (E. Easwaran, Trans.; 2nd ed.). (2007). The Blue Mountain Center of Meditation.

King James Bible. (2017). King James Bible Online. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/ (Original work published 1769)

Journal Articles

Always include the issue number. Previously if the issues were paginated continuously you did not need to include it. The formatting of the DOI should now follow the format https://doi.org/XXXXXX

Zhao, W., Garcia-Oscos, F., Dinh, D., & Roberts, T. F. (2019). Inception of memories that guide vocal learning in the songbird. Science, 366(6461), 83–89. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aaw4226

 

If a journal article does not have a DOI, you may end the citation after the page numbers. There is no longer a requirement to include the URL of the journal’s homepage. However, if an article is open access, you may choose to link directly to the article’s full text.

Kerlis, B. (2013). Sacred spaces in virtual places: Locating religion in the financial market. Journal for the Study of Religion, 26(1), 23–44. http://www.scielo.org.za/pdf/jsr/v26n1/03

 

If an article has an article number, use that in place of the page numbers

Derry, K. (2018). Myth and monstrosity: Teaching indigenous films. Journal of Religion & Film, 22(3), Article 7. https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2013&context=jrf

 

You may use a shortened DOI if desired.

Magazine/Newspaper Articles

Include a URL if it will take the reader to the full text without logging in. The article title is formatted regularly, and the newspaper or magazine title is italicized.

Gibson, J. (2019, October 9). SF College zoo works to become more inclusive. The Gainesville Sun. https://www.gainesville.com/news/20191009/sf-college-zoo-works-to-become-more-inclusive

 

If a magazine or news site does not have an associated daily/weekly publication, use the guidelines for a webpage. Examples include CNN and the Huffington Post.

 

Database Content

If a library database contains its own, proprietary information that cannot be retrieved elsewhere (like Cochrane, A to Z the World, and CQ Researcher), include the name of the database and a permalink in the reference.

Ornes, S. (2019, September 20). Extreme weather. CQ Researcher. http://library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher/cqresrre201909200

Webpages

Omit the words ‘Retrieved from’ before the URL. Include the name of the website unless it is the same as the author. Italicize the name of the webpage.

You may use a URL shortener like tinyurl or bit.ly if you wish.

Santa Fe College. (n.d.). Enrollment by program of study. http://bit.ly/3141NHN

 

Class Materials

APA now clarifies that if the audience for the paper being written can access materials that may be in an LMS or intranet, these can be included in the references list. Previously, these were considered non-retrievable sources and were to be cited as personal communication.

Annotated Bibliographies

APA now has guidelines for an annotated bibliography. Annotations will be a new paragraph, indented 0.5″ from the left.

Delmas, P. M. (2017). Using VoiceThread to create community in online learning. TechTrends, 61, 595–602.   https://doi.org/10.1007/s11528-017-0195-z

This study investigated how VoiceThread could impact online student persistence. It used the Community of Inquiry framework as a guidepost for applying the technology, most specifically by leveraging social presence. The study sought to answer the question “does VoiceThread help create community for online learners?” Researchers surveyed 39 participants in master’s and doctoral programs that were either fully online or blended. Based on the data, the researchers concluded that VoiceThread, as perceived by students who have used it, can promote social presence in online learning communities by making students feel more connected to other students and the instructor. Three positive themes for VoiceThread related to student to student interaction included hearing a voice, hearing voice inflection versus text, and learning about peers’ professional/educational experience. While positive trends were highlighted succinctly, there was little discussion of negative trends, which challenged validity, and a small sample size (N=39) makes it difficult to generalize.

Heading of Reference List

The heading at the top of the reference list should say References at the top (not Bibliography or Works Cited, unless your instructor tells you otherwise) and bolded.

Hanging Indent

All reference lists should have a hanging indent. An example of a hanging indent is shown below:

George, M. W. (2008). The elements of library research: What every student needs to know. Princeton University Press.

To create a hanging indent in Word, you can press the Control key along with the letter T.

+ 

Spacing

Line spacing in the reference list should be set to double (2.0).

Alphabetizing

When organizing your references list, you must alphabetize your references. Generally, you will organize by the author’s last name. Go letter by letter and ignore spaces, hyphens, punctuation etc.

If a work has no author, use the title to alphabetize. You will use the first significant word to alphabetize; this means you skip words like the, a, and an.

1. Alcott, L. M. (1868)…

2. Alcott, L. M. (1893)…

3. Anonymous. (1998). Beowulf…

4. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (n.d.).

But What About…?

The Font?

APA does not specify a specific font or size, just that it must be legible. Their only guidelines is that the same font should be used throughout the paper. Some suggestions are 11-point Calibri, 11-point Arial, 10-point Lucida Sans Unicode, 12-point Times New Roman, and 11-point Georgia.

If your instructor has specified a font or font size, follow those guidelines.

The Running Head?

Student papers do not need a running head.
