On the other hand, extrinsic religious orientation had a correlation with mental illness. Allport and Ross Religious Orientation Scale is used by around seventy studies which made it “one of the most frequently used measures of religiousness.” Religion as Quest Distinction Daniel Batson and W. Larry Ventis found some problems in Allport and Ross proposed intrinsic religious orientation. Thus, they suggested a third religious dimension that is concerned with individual’s religious search. This third dimension was referred to as the “Quest Religious Orientation.” For quest oriented individuals religious questions are deemed important for which he or she seeks answers. In another article Batson explained Quest Religious Orientation as “the degree to which an individual’s religion involves an open-ended,...

HR professionals work hard on getting the things together to get you through orientation as quick and painless as possible. There will be a lot of information thrown at you and you might not catch everything. This article describes how to prepare for it, call your employer when you are preparing that helps bridge the gap so nothing is missing the day you go in. Ask questions; don’t be afraid to speak up because someone out there is thinking the same thing. Things to take away from this article are, how to prepare for the orientation itself. Call ahead if you are unsure of what to bring or expect. Always dress appropriately for the orientation, you may have executives that stop in and speak. Show up early and check in, especially on your first day of orientation, after that you can judge when you should show up. Bring something to write with and a note pad to take notes there may not be ones provided for you and you have nothing to write down the information you want to remember for yourself, or even question you may want to ask out of a classroom setting.

This research studies how entrepreneurial firms evaluate performance benefit by simultaneously aligning high level of both entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and manager orientation (MO). It is relevant for firms operating in a developing economy context where these potentials are enhanced for business with strong social and business network ties. Entrepreneurial orientation refers to firms procluivity to explore new market opportunities and as such it manifest itself through a firms tendency to accept innovation, risk-taking, pro-activeness, competitive aggressiveness and autonomy (Lumpkin and Dess, 1996). Market orientation is defined as the implementation of the marketing concept in firms target...

...Summary * Research shows that sexual orientation is a not a common question found on numerous public health surveillance surveys. * Therefore, such surveys have been considered inefficient in monitoring the trends required to achieve a national health objective that will include the health of the LGBT people. * Currently, the LGBT population has attained rights to serve in the military, to get married in some states and are making significant steps in achieving full equality in many other aspects of lives * For this reason, sexual orientation is something that needs to be included in public health surveys if the health concerns of the LGBT are to be addressed efficiently. * Furthermore, the inclusion of sexual orientation in public health surveys would permit the contrast between heterosexual and homosexual populations in disparate areas of disability, access to health facilities and disease risk factors. * It will also enable social workers to recognize health concerns that are unique to the LGBT people; hence, this will translate into finding the appropriate means of improving the healthcare of the LGBT persons. Slide 2 * Many surveys could benefit from including questions on sexual orientation. * Firstly, the NHIS, which is known to be the primary source of information on the health of the non-institutionalized citizens of the U.S by offering the relevant data to track the progress to achieving national health goals. * Secondly, the BRFSS...

... Milla Brewer July 27th 2013 An important part of any business is the ability to adequately train new employees in all aspects of the job requirements. A good orientation program will help to ensure new employees are up to speed faster and will better align them into positions in the organization in that the need is greater. With this in mind, I have designed a two day training and orientation plan to completely and effectively train new salesclerks. Training will start at 8:00a.m. and last until 5:00p.m. every day for a period of two days. When new hires arrive, they will be given an outline of the training process that briefly describes items to be covered during training, an employee handbook, and all required paperwork. Each section of the training process will be explained in detail by the supervisor. Below is an outline of a two-day orientation and training session that is to be handed out to each new employee before the orientation and training process begins. New Hire - Orientation Process Orientation - Day One New Employee Orientation 1. Welcome new employees. 2. Introduce new employees to each other. 3. Explain all duties and responsibilities. 4. Explain the nature of the job. 5. Explain conduct and performance policies. ...

...Evaluation of the Orientation Program Question 1 Strengths · Once Simpson had accepted the job she was given a map of BANTEX Electronics and instructed to report to the company meeting room Monday at 8:30 am. Simpson was left well informed of where to go and when to be there, she was also given a map to help guide her to the designated room. · The orientation procedure was well organised · The orientation program contained a lot of information about the company and it processes; a company handbook was produced for later referral. · After orientation Simpson felt enthusiastic about her new employer. · During the orientation there is a chance for clarification. Weaknesses · Simpson felt she had been given a tremendous amount of information to digest in a very short time · Simpson wasn't sure which parts of the information she had been given, that needed to be known right away. · Simpson felt anxious after the orientation about her impending job responsibilities. · Simpson wasn't told who too contact if she had further questions or queries. You need to ensure that you clearly identify what are strengths and what are weaknesses – the easiest way is to have sub- headings The most important part of this question (other than of course identifying what the strengths and the weaknesses are – is to explain WHY!!! At the Diploma level, you are expected to demonstrate your analytical skills – so there is no point just saying what the issue is – you need to explain why...

...Operation Supervisor Monica Carrolls. Robins has scheduled an orientation for the new employees on June 15th. Robins would like all 15 of the new hires to be working by July. Background Robins has made the common mistake of creating a task saturating situation, coupled with procrastination. Robins now finds himself in a predicament, facing a deadline and rapid growth of unforeseen circumstances. It began when Carrolls advised him of all the requirements the new hires must complete prior to starting work; Robins pledged to Carrolls the process will be completed on time. Robins returned to work after Memorial Day and began his final inspections on all new hire files. To Robins surprise, several of the applications were not complete. To make matters worst, Transcripts, mandatory drug screens, and orientation manuals were not in order. Robins also failed to reserve the training room for the June 15th orientation. Key Problems Robins is facing multiple problems, which could have been prevented. Nonetheless, some of the key problems is Robins procrastination, and lack of attention to detail (Project Management Institute 2008). The following problems need immediate attention: complete applications that are incomplete, have new hires complete their required drug screening, obtain 15 complete orientation manuals, and reserve a room for the orientation. Complete applications Drug screenings...

...Generally, all of the business courses that you take are focused on answering a single question - “What can managers do to improve the performance of their organizations?” It is not sufficient to theorize that a particular business strategy will lead to improved performance. You must test the theory. The statistical analysis process is a standardized methodology for testing theories. Generally, you identify a strategy that you believe may work, you ask experts what they think about the strategy, you analyze the data collected from the experts, you interpret the results from the analysis, and you draw conclusions about how well the strategy works based on the interpretations. All remaining assignments require that you follow this process. 1. State the research question. This is general question related to our area of concern. For example: “What can managers do to improve the performance of their organizations?” That’s probably stated a little too generally. More specific examples include: “Will implementation of a market orientation strategy improve my organization’s performance?” and “Will implementation of JIT and TQM improvement programs combine to improve my organization’s performance?” 2. State the hypotheses. Hypotheses are formulated from the research question. They must be stated in a form that is statistically testable. For example, “Market orientation is positively associated with operational performance.” Another example is: “JIT and...

...The Development of a Measure of Business Process Orientation and its Link to the Interdepartmental Dynamics Construct of Market Orientation by Dr. Kevin McCormack President DRK Research and Consulting LLC Kmccormack@drkresearch.org tel.205-733-2096 fax 205-733-2094 2232 Baneberry Dr. Birmingham, AL 35244 March, 1999 ABSTRACT Interdepartmental and cross functional interaction are proposed to be critical to business success in today’s environment. Interdepartmental dynamics, a component of the Kohli and Jaworski market orientation framework, has been shown to influence market orientation and business performance. Several concepts have developed recently relating to and possibly further defining these components of market orientation. These are concepts of the business process orientation of an organization and the impact on interdepartmental and cross functional interaction. This study develops the construct of business process orientation (BPO) as it relates to interdepartmental dynamics. It also develops and validates the measures for BPO and tests the proposed relationship of BPO to interdepartmental dynamics. Copyright( - Property of Dr. Kevin McCormack.

...Experiences of misunderstanding at work scenario 1 Last year as we were preparing for our quarterly meeting, somewhere along the line in our group a misunderstanding occurred within the group. The operations market team who are responsible for putting the quarterly meeting consist of six staff. Five of the staff in the group has been with the company over six years. The last member on the team was a recent transfer from another department, though has also been with the company for about six years as well. Therefore, the majority of the team had taken part in previous market meetings except for the new member. We received an email directed to the team from the Partner in charge of the meeting with bullet points of what each person was expected to do prior to the meeting. The meeting was scheduled one month from the time of the initial email. We knew we had a deadline to meet and what was expected had been outlined in the email. We all proceeded to work on our respective parts, as each part was involved with the other therefore keeping constant communication was key to meeting the deadline. The team noticed that the new team member was not being responsive to emails and it was extremely important we know of her progress since all parts were integral of each other and without her input we were lost. Her non-responsiveness caused stress among the team because we did not know if her portion was completed, and this was imperative for the rest of us to complete our part....
