Step #3. Write your paper in Microsoft Word. Use a cover sheet from the APA template included for this assignment, including at least three sources (textbook is eligible for one), in-text citations and references. It is preferred that you use scholarly sources such as journal articles that can be researched from the digital campus library. Websites are acceptable too, but not ideal. All sources must be included on a separate reference page and also used as an in-text citation.

- Relate how motivation, ability, or role perception influence individual behavior and individual work results in an organization you work for, or one that you have researched on the web as an example.

- Describe how the ethical codes of a company you work for, or one that you have researched support how these individual characteristics impact employee morale and overall organizational performance.
Step #5. Submit your Word file into the Assignments tab and check the Turnitin plagiarism score. It should be 15-20%, not above. If it is above 15-20%, reword and paraphrase the content in your own words to reduce the score and resubmit. The folder will accept multiple submissions.
