Project description
previously you wrote a discussion for me and professor has wrote a question and i need a half page answer for that

**Question is: How does the various cultures around the world impact the impression on employees being late for work? How would that influence the research design?

Also i require to comment on two other students articles 1/4 page each
those are:

1)
In my organization, there are many safety issues which I have noticed over the last few years. Most are minor, but the majority of them come from the maintenance shop in an aviation hangar. Even the most minor safety violation can lead to anything from a minor injury to a grievous tragedy. I cringe every time I see a crew chief run out to launch an aircraft without hearing protection or safety glasses on. Now that I am an actual Aviation Safety Officer, when I make a correction it will have a little more authority behind it.

Obviously my qualitative method would be observation; using what I see to seek to describe, decode, translate, and otherwise come to terms with the meaning, not the frequency, (Cooper & Schindler, 2014, p. 144) of events. Why do the crew chiefs, and sometimes pilots, go out without the proper safety equipment? Everyone is trained on what to use, how to use it, and when to use each item (always for the glasses). But I could easily say that at least one out of four times during the day no eye protection is worn, and more than half of the time at night. I even went out and purchased clear safety glasses, which looked and fit like trendy sunglasses, and most of them stayed in the box for many weeks.

Instead of saying how I will use this technique to investigate, I am going to tell you how I used the technique to solve my problem. It wasnt that they didnt care, it was that they didnt care enough. It had become a routine violation, errors which tend to be habitual by nature and often tolerated by governing authority. (Wiegmann, & Shappell, 2003, p. 55) They have gotten away without the safety gear for so long without an incident that I realized I needed to show some incidents. Nobody wants to lose an eye or fully blind from some chemical. So I found some good pictures and called a friend of mine to do a video interview. He was blinded when he was younger (high school) from some chemicals in his dads shop.

I remember that next week, my crew chiefs were correcting their piers from other units. I was like a proud papa, for a few weeks, then it was back to normal operations, no eye protection sometimes. I hope that in my next unit, with less turnover of personnel, it will be easier to instill the importance of the basic safety gear. If not, I will do more observations and analysis.

2)
The most common qualitative technique I use with my peer management team is interviewing people for open positions. The first step I do is post the opening to our system called recruit share. Doing so posts the opening to our company website where outside candidates can fill out their background information to see if they meet the qualifications. Depending on the openings the top 6-10 candidates will be scheduled for interviews by our recruiter/screener. Before the interviews take place however the 2 to 3 hiring managers will grade their work experience. We also take this opportunity to come up with any probing questions we wish to ask them based on their background information.

Once it is time for the interviews we used a structured interview set up. We will ask the candidate 9 STAR questions, for those of you unfamiliar STAR is an acronym for Situation or Task, Action, Result. An example may be tell me about a time you were stressed out in your work environment, what did you do, and what were the end results? I also make it a point to explain what a STAR question is to the candidate, and I take what steps I can to make them feel comfortable, I tell them we are going to be doing a lot of writing so don\’t panic if you don\’t get eye contact from us, I offer them water, and before we get rolling with the STAR questions we usually ask our probing questions to help break the ice. The reason FedEx Express uses the STAR method is because it helps us ascertain behavior type pattern in what a person does during particular situations.

After all the candidates have been interviewed, the management team will grade the answers. We usually save the grading of answers for the very last, thus giving us time to chew over the answers. We will then send our interview packets back to our screener to get background checks rolling and the person graded the highest will be the first candidate she goes after.
