Saint Leo PSY 338 Module 3 Discussion

Now that you’re a little bit familiar with the
O*Net from Module 1, I want you to use it to get some information to help you
to answer the following discussion question You know that CEOs make a lot of
money, and that they are an important component of organizational leadership
However, the recent economic downturn saw some organizations take government
bailouts at taxpayer expense, lay off employees, and still give large bonuses
to shareholders and/or CEOs The question is: are they worth it? Look at the
O*net profile for chief executives (Use those words in an occupation keyword
search) to inform your answers to the following questions:

1. Are CEOs paid
   too much, or are they worth the high compensation packages they receive?
2. Is it ethical
   or fair that a CEO receives a bonus when employees are being laid off or
   having their benefits reduced?

Does high compensation for CEOs actually increase
company performance? Remember, in your answers it must be obvious that you have
gone to the O*Net (so, include some information from there in your
answers)
