This Assignment comprises of a short Case.
Assignments are to be submitted by each student individually.
Assignment Purposes/Learning Outcomes:
After completion of Assignment three students will be able to understand the following
LO’s
LO5: To have the ability to carry out objective and scientific analysis of employees’
performance management.
LO6: To be able to identify and describe the needs of the parties involved in labor

Read the case given and answer the questions:
Momena was the first of her family to go to college and, after working in a reputed
organization for a few years, she got into her first-choice graduate program. During her
first semester, Momena was seen as mature, professional, and well-organized. Concerns
emerged during the spring semester; she seemed distracted when on campus and was
absent from organization more days than she was present. She was working on a paper,
but progress was slow, and in March Momena failed to turn in a draft on the date
promised. Her advisor Dr. Ali assumed that more structure was needed, so she began to
set very explicit expectations for products with specific deadlines attached. During their
meetings, Momena was enthusiastic about her projects and eagerly promised to get the
work done. However, the pattern of failing to deliver kept repeating itself. Finally, after
an extended stretch when Momena was absent from the organization and had missed a
deadline for a draft, Dr. Ali called her in to ask if she was serious about her work.
Momena teared up and revealed that her mother was seriously ill, and she had been
driving the three hours back home every weekend for the last several months to help her
family. She had thought it inappropriate to mention her family crisis, not wanting to
acknowledge that her personal life was interfering with her graduate studies. She asked
Dr. Ali if she should withdraw from the program.
