Module 1 – SLPOrganizations and Human Resource Management (HRM)Disengaged EmployeesDisengaged employees and counterproductive behaviors have become the norm in many organizations, and as a result, organizations are implementing more stringent policies, enforcing regular trainings, and installing cameras throughout the workforce. Examples of counterproductive activities include daydreaming, looking busy, moonlighting, and even cyberloafing. When an employee is daydreaming, he or she appears to be working but in reality is distracted by non-work-related thoughts and fantasies. When an employee is looking busy, he or she pretends to be busy or overwhelmed with work. An employee who is moonlighting uses company time and resources to complete personal tasks. An employee who is cyberloafing uses a company computer to send personal emails, chat online, or use the Internet for their personal satisfaction. The following table represents signs of employee disengagement:Signs of Being PhysicallySignsMeaning to HR ManagementImplicationsTardinessIntentionally arriving to work late or leaving work earlyPunctuality issuesLong or Excessive BreaksIntentionally taking long breaks or too many breaksProductivity issuesMissing MeetingsIntentionally neglecting important work functionsReliability issuesDisregarding DeadlinesIntentionally being carelessCommitment issuesExcessive AbsencesIntentionally disrupting the workflowDependability issuesHigh-quality organizational citizens refrain from counterproductive activities and being disengaged from their organization.For this SLP, you will write a paper describing why you or someone you know has been disengaged from the organization.
