Who Gets Time Off? Prioritizing Planned, Family Responsibility Leave Requests
Management Teaching Review, v7 n4 p351-374 Dec 2022
This role play focuses on team decision making and is designed for undergraduate and graduate human resource management (HRM) and organizational behavior (OB) courses. It can also support management seminars. Working within Employee Teams, Department Teams, or Manager Teams, students decide which three of five employees will obtain family responsibility leave. For HRM courses, the exercise focuses on interpreting and applying family responsibility leave, which illustrates day-to-day personnel planning. For OB courses, the debriefing centers on comparing decision-making models and discussing how beliefs and attitudes influence decision making; it also supports exchanges about the influence of conflict, domination, and groupthink on team decision making. For both OB and HRM courses, the exercise helps students compare individual and team decisions, discuss the effects of team composition on decision making, and analyze the fairness of their decisions. Instructors can conduct the activity in class or online.
