the two case studies and after each case study briefly describe the actions you

process.
Case
Study 1: Zephran Plastics
Zephran Plastics is a well-established
plastics manufacturer that has been successful for over 60 years. It is an
international company with resources in three countries. Due to changes in
global demand the plastics industry has been negatively affected. This has
resulted in six consecutive quarters of net losses for the company. In an
attempt to increase productivity and to increase efficiencies one aspect of the
organizational plan is to restructure the workforce and determine if job
performances match job descriptions and eliminate any possible redundancies. In
order to compensate for production and sales it is determined that the
workforce needs to be reduced by approximately 10%. As a hired consultant you
are asked to provide a strategy for performance evaluation of all employees in
preparation for determining further steps in the process.

Case
Study 2: Washington and Jefferson School Districts
Due to changes in population and a rezoning
of school districts it has been decided that the Washington and Jefferson
school districts will be merged. With current funding no staff cuts will need
to be made but a redistribution of students to balance school attendance will
require a redistribution of staff as well. Both teachers and administration
staff will need to be consulted and evaluated in order to make the most
effective placements possible in the interests of the students, the parents,
and administration alike. Your role as an I/O psychologist is to create a
performance evaluation process to help facilitate this process.
