Personal Decision-Making: Deciding to Accept a New Job Offer or Not
Having worked for the same company for over eight years and not having seen a raise in five of those years, it was time to consider options for a new job. The possibility of advancing my career, earning more salary, getting greater levels of professional recognition and learning more in an expanded role in a new company all were the benefits of moving on. The downside was that I had become so engrained in the company I was a member of, and had won performance awards several times, that my role was stable and secure and I would be letting that go. I'd been put onto projects that were going to last for at least three years. While many in the U.S. And global economies searched for security, stability and trust with employers, I had worked my way into that type of position after years of being in the same company. Yet there was much more I wanted to accomplish in my career, including running my own department or division, possibly even becoming a CEO over the long-term. It became clear I had become so indispensable in my current role I wasn't going to be promoted anytime in the near future either. The security and stability is highly prized by my family yet...

Analysis of Decision Making Process
One of the significant lessons learned from study the text is that decisions may be more broad or strategic in scope that they initially appear (Bateman & Snell, 2010), This observation about the first step of my decision-making process centered on whether a more important-sounding title (more prestige) and more salary (greater status and ability to provide for my family) was worth giving up the freedom I had in my existing job of being able to leave work at 5 -- 5:30pm and not deal with work in the evenings. As I considered the decision of whether to pursue a recruiter's call for a significantly more responsible and impressive-sounding job with a potential of a salary increase of 30%, I considered from a strategic standpoint, what would this position entail in terms of working with an entire new set of people (Harrison, 1996). The path of framing the problem to seeking people to help with the decision (trusted friends and immediate family) followed the framework in the text as well (Bateman, Snell, 2010). I consulted these trusted advisors not to…

Decision Making Deciding Whether to Accept a New Career Position or Not I've been working for the same employer for eight years and have only received one raise. The company is good about providing bonuses and I have an exceptionally high level of freedom, yet I am interested in moving further ahead in my career, earning a higher salary, and getting into a company who has opportunities for advancements.

After I entered Kohlberg's Post-Conventional Moral stage, I began to realize that: (1) homosexuality probably is not a voluntary choice; (2) homosexuals can have meaningful, committed, and stable loving relationship or superficial, casual, and unstable relationships exactly the same way heterosexuals can (and often do) experience both types of relationships at different times of their lives; (3) homosexuality is not a moral issue at all; and (4) gay people have
Personal Thought and Authenticity There is a question I always want to ask: Where should we start learning something? For some people, it is not easy to decide where something starts. It is like questioning, "Egg or chicken, which one comes first?" It is believed that exploring the original meaning from a subject may take years for people to understand. It is a hard learning process that one should take where one
According to the Kohlberg theory, the post-conventional level is when a person develops social contract orientation and becomes principled. I believe I felt that I owed society an obligation to work and try to make it better, so I sought public welfare work (Fowler, p. 56). Eventually, a better job opportunity came to me in the form of a state job in the Department of Youth and Family Services, so I
