Module/Week 5 — Process Management in Public Administration

Topic: Project Management in Public Administration

Thread: After carefully reading Exercise 6 and the “Key Competencies of Public Sector Project Managers,” you will 1) explain how the Critical Path Method would apply to the issues presented in the Northway Preconstruction Planning memorandum in Form 26, and 2) describe which competencies discussed in the “Key Competencies of Public Sector Project Managers” article would best equip a public sector manager to effectively address complex public sector projects.

Replies: Respond to at least 2 classmates; explore the limits of the Critical Path Method and contrast your ideas regarding the most important competencies of public sector managers.

For each forum, you are required to post 1 thread of 400–500 words and 2 replies of 250–300 words. For each thread, you must support your assertions with at least 2 citations in current APA format. Each reply must incorporate at least 1 citation in current APA format. Acceptable sources include scholarly articles, public administration trade publications, statistical research, the textbook, and the Bible.

Responding to a classmate’s thread requires both the addition of new ideas and analysis. A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and built upon by your analysis in order to move the conversation forward. Thus, the reply is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon the thread to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced. As such, replies that merely affirm, restate or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous thread(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion will receive appropriate point deductions.

Case study

Assignment: Case Study –

Step #1:  Read the case study: Chalmers v. Tulon Company of Richmond, 101 F.3d 1012 (4th Cir. 1996)

This case is found on page(s) 564-568 of the textbook.

Case Study PROMPT:

Issue: Whether it was a reasonable accommodation for an employer to terminate a supervisory employee who, based on her religious beliefs, sent disturbing letters to the homes of other employees.

Facts: A supervisory employee sent to the homes of two employees letters expressing her belief that they “get right with God.” One employee’s wife saw the letter and became distraught thinking her husband had again committed adultery. Another employee received the letter while at home convalescing from an undiagnosed illness after the birth of her baby born out of wedlock. The employer terminated the employee when the letters were discovered, based on her “serious error in judgment” and the fact that she offended them, attacked their personal lives and beliefs, and damaged the working relationship, making it too difficult for the supervisory employee to continue to work there. The employee sued, alleging religious discrimination and that her writing constituted protected religious activity that must be accommodated with a lesser punishment than discharge.

Decision: The court upheld the dismissal, saying that the employer’s reasons for the dismissal were legitimate and non-discriminatory. In addition, in order to accommodate a religious conflict, the employer must know of it, and the court said the employee offered no evidence that she had notified the employer of her religious beliefs manifesting themselves through accusatory letter writing which impose her religious beliefs on others.

Step #2: Respond to the case questions

Case Questions:

Is there any way the employer could have avoided this situation? Explain.

If the employee had initially told the employer of her plan to write the letters and the employer had told her not to send them, would the outcome be any different if she had done so anyway?

What would you have done if your employee’s wife called as Mrs. LaMantia did?
