...Motivation is defined as the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving In a particular way. (www. Merriam-Webster.com) When thinking of a famous person in the media and the choices they’ve made Beyonce Knowles comes to mind. When Beyonce Knowles first came onto to the scene she was first noticed by the very successful group Destiny’s Child. Beyonce was the lead singer of the group which her voice stood out more from the group. Beyonce was self-determined and eventually the group split she pursued a solo career which sky rocketed to top several number one hits, Grammy awards, and sold out shows across the country. Beyonce relates to humanistic, diversity, and psychoanalytic views of motivation. She is a person who has a strong support system and feels a sense of belongingness Through her family and marriage life. She is a very strong and determined individual It seems whatever Beyonce puts her mind to something she accomplishes it successfully. Throughout the years any negative feedback Beyonce received she turned it around and made something positive out of it. For example when she sung on Star Search at a young age she lost to her competition, but that didn’t stop her from what she knew was her dream which is singing and all the hard work paid off in the end. So it’s obvious to say that Beyonce was motivated by different things like achievement, success, and financial stability. She has build a lot of confidence in herself over the years and I feel ...

...EMPLOYEE EVALUATION The company given in the example uses an annual rating scale evaluation method that appears to be primarily based on interpersonal relationships with co-workers as well as overall personality and attitude. There are 3 knows evaluation categories on the company’s current evaluation form: friendliness, neatness, and attitude. Friendliness This evaluation criteria focuses on the interpersonal relationships of the employee as he relates to his fellow co-workers including peers and supervisor(s). However, because of the employee’s personality differences, the employee receives a lower rating. The ability to have an accord with fellow co-workers is an important part of an employee review, especially if his ability to work with others negatively affects his or their output. However, interpersonal relationships in general should not be the primary focus of the review. The ability or desire of the employee to interact with other employees is not a valid representation of his work ethic or work product and is not indicative of the employee’s ability to help the company accomplish its ultimate mission and goals. Neatness The second item on the manager’s evaluation form is “Neatness.” The manager concludes that the employee’s neatness with relationship to his office space is only slightly better than a disaster area so, again, he gives the employee a low score. However, no mention is made of the employee’s work product. The manager needs...

...was left with two managers for almost every available position at upper and middle management level. Prior to the merger, the top levels had been selected. Lundgren and Ashton had decided a negotiation that they could keep their most trusted executives on board. Peter has always preferred making decisions by instinct and likes to talk o people face to face to assess if they are fit for the position, becoming biased toward some of his own executives. Ashton, on the other hand, was vey objective and has a very conventional way of making his executives pass through a series of tests. Peter was concerned in the idea that an objective process such as that of Ashton would make the best people around him leave, when they undergo all the evaluations. II. Key Problem Arlington Inc. has been facing a problem in creating an effective human resource integration strategy. Both CEOs have their own different and opposite ways and qualities of people who deserved the best positions, and by that it is possible that they will find conflict in going through each other’s decision making.

...Content Quality Assessment Related Frameworks for Social Media Kevin Chai, Vidyasagar Potdar, and Tharam Dillon Digital Ecosystems and Business Intelligence Institute, Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia kevin.chai@postgrad.curtin.edu.au, {v.potdar,t.dillon}@curtin.edu.au Abstract. The assessment of content quality (CQ) in social media adds a layer of complexity over traditional information quality assessment frameworks. Challenges arise in accurately evaluating the quality of content that has been created by users from different backgrounds, for different domains and consumed by users with different requirements. This paper presents a comprehensive review of 19 existing CQ assessment related frameworks for social media in addition to proposing directions for framework improvements. Keywords: content quality assessment, social media, discussion forums, wikis, weblogs. 1 Introduction Information quality (IQ) has been widely defined in literature by its fitness for use. Existing research in the field of assessing IQ within traditional information systems is relatively mature and has led to the discovery and validation of numerous quality dimensions and metrics [2, 15, 17, 29, 35]. Knight & Burn (2005) have presented a comprehensive review of literature in the realm of assessing IQ frameworks. Common IQ dimensions that were identified from their review are presented in Table 1. The definitions of these dimensions have been included from Wang & Strong (1996)...

...employees are not performing up to a certain standard or at an expected level of performance. The difference between actual the actual level of job performance and the expected level of job performance indicates a need for training. A training analysis is conducted ultimately to identify what areas of knowledge or behaviors that training needs to accomplish with learners. The analysis considers what results the organization needs from the learner, what knowledge and skills the learner presently has and usually concludes with identifying what knowledge and skills the learner must gain. Usually this phase also includes identifying when training should occur and who should attend as learners. Ideally, criteria are established for the final evaluation of training to conclude if training goals were met or not. Depending on the resources and needs of the organization, a training analysis can range from a very detailed inventory of skills to a general review of performance results. The more complete the training analysis, the more likely that the employee's training will ultimately contribute results to the organization.

...bureaucratic requirements. They are the annual evaluation mostly done at the end of the year. The ranking produces a list from the best performing to the least performing. Moreover, the least performing are often fired. The trend proceeds to the next year and the least performing ones are also fired. The system fails to consider the levels of input and the resultant output. As a result, some hardworking employees obtain low rankings due to logistical challenges and they might be fired in the end. The ranking system is a blanket for all organizations irrespective of their varying peak seasons (Spector, 2008). In my opinion the forced ranking system is rigid and...

...COMMUNICATION AND EVALUATION IN PLANNING I. COMMUNICATION IN EDUCATIONAL PLANNING INTRODUCTION Educational planning is as old as state education, that is, much older than economic planning. Until comparatively recent times, however, educational planning was haphazard rather than deliberate, a matter for local rather than central government, concern with individual educational systems, and no effort was ever made to state the objectives that planning was supposed to satisfy. The Second World War change all that: the post-war explosion in the demand for education, the new interest in central economic planning, the obsession in growth rates with both developed and developing countries combined to promote a new attitude to the administration of education. Educational planning by the State with the purpose of promoting economic objectives is now as universally approved as economic planning itself. Consider the curious predicament of an educational planner who consults the fast-growing literature on the economics of education for guidance in making policy decisions. On the one hand, he is told to gear the expansion of the educational system to quantitative forecast of the demand for highly-qualified manpower. On the other hand, he is urged to project what id quaintly called. I.I GENERAL PRINCIPLES The issue of communication has been a subject of interest and curiosity ever since the beginnings of human society. It took centuries to explore the working...
