The subject is organisational behaviour - MMM240 Question. Answer both parts of this question.

You work in the aged-care sector in Australia, which has been under enormous strain in recent times. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the sector faced challenges in attracting and retaining workers. The pay is low, the work is physically demanding, carers feel overworked and under-appreciated, and there is a lack of opportunities for career progression. Managers and leaders are usually promoted into the position based on their clinical expertise rather than their management or leadership capabilities, and some carers feel that they do not receive enough performance feedback from their managers. The aged-care provider organisation that you work for is stretched to the limit trying to provide quality care with a shrinking budget and high turnover of staff, some of whom are inadequately trained.

a. Drawing on relevant Organisational Behaviour concepts/theories in Topics 2, 3, 4, 8, and/or 9, analyse the problems in the aged-care sector and this aged-care provider organisation described in this scenario.

b. Drawing on relevant Organisational Behaviour concepts/theories in Topics 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, and/or 10, recommend solutions to the aged-care provider organisation that address the problems you have identified.
