...care and support Person centred values is a theory developed by Carl Rogers that trusted the innate tendency (known as the actualising tendency) of human beings to find fulfilment of their personal potentials. An important part of this theory is that in a particular psychological environment, the fulfilment of personal potentials includes sociability, the need to be with other human beings and a desire to know and be known by other people. It also includes being open to experience, being trusting and trustworthy, being curious about the world and being creative and compassionate. It is important to work in a way that embeds person centred values so that a person feels free from threat, both physically and psychologically. This environment could be achieved when being in a relationship with a person who was deeply understanding (empathic), accepting (having unconditional positive regard) and genuine (congruent). Risk taking can be part of a person centred approach as we would choose to use positive and informed risk taking which would involve building a positive view of the individual, and seeking to learn what a persons gifts and skills are and what people admire about them. In person centred thinking we also explore the consequences of not taking the risk so that these may be balanced against the consequences of taking the risk. Using an individuals care plan contributes to working in a person centred way as this would be constructed by the client with the support of the care...

...industry as a whole involves taking risks mainly when offering credit facilities to borrowers. It is for this reason that the risk taking behavior of a bank will always have an impact on the bank’s profitability and ultimately on whether or not the bank remains a going concern. This is despite that in a number of countries the non-interest income on banks is growing in importance; after-all loans constitute the largest share of bank’s assets. Over the years there has been a significant amount of research on the effects of competition on the risk taking behavior of banks and hence their stability. This has been coupled with inquiries by different competition authorities around...

It also examines the factor that influence the risk choices are either due to the insider or the manager explicit ownership and compensation structure or through private benefit. From this journal, my review is about the positive relationship between investor and risk choices in order to influence more investment to help the corporation in manufacturing sector to survive from different level of risk and sustain a good firm’s growth rate in future. Motivation of study According to the “law and finance” approach by La Porta, Lopez-de-Silanes, Shleifer and Vishny (1998 and 2000), they stated that the role of investor protection is really important to ensure for a good development of the country. Referring to the World Bank ranking, the top ten countries that have good investor protection are a part of OECD countries that have good political and economic condition and the most surprisingly Malaysia is one of the countries that only as an emerging country. From this, we clearly know the important of investor protection in order to help the country itself to survive in a longer time. Besides that, the corporations have to know how to raise external capital and grow without need to increase the risk. Nowadays, many corporations unable to survive without making a good risk choices plus do not make much in order to protect their investor.

Most of the individuals who are infected with HIV/AIDS experience depression and an increase in life stressors. However, positive social support and disclosure of HIV/AIDS status decreases stress, leading to better mental health (Hays, Turner, & Coates, 1992; Turner-Cobb et al., 2002). The major at-risk groups for HIV/AIDS are adolescents, gays, bisexuals, injected drug users, and minority women (Taylor & Sirois, 2011). In this paper, the influence of social factors on the course of HIV/AIDS is investigated. It is hypothesized that the influence of social support, such as emotional (receiving emotional comfort), informational (receiving information or advice on personal issues), and practical (counting on others for help) on mental health will mitigate the course and experience of HIV. Five empirical studies are explored in an attempt to demonstrate and support the hypothesis. In a research article by Hay, Turner and Coates (1992), the relationship between three types of social support (emotional, practical, and informational), and depression was investigated using a cross-sectional study over a one-year period. It was hypothesized that social support satisfaction decreases depression. The sample consisted of 508 single bisexual and homosexual men, with a mean age of 40 years living in San Francisco...

...Sensitivity and Risk-Taking Behaviors of Working Students Research Paper In Partial Fulfillment for the Requirements in Technical English By: Alnas, Kyle Bryan J. Balisacan, Meashelle Jan P. Sato, Shomi P. Chapter 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE This chapter presents the literature and studies made by various educators which are found relevant to the present study. Relevant, related literatures were reviewed and analyzed to give support to the study undertaken. This chapter presents the discussion made by the different authorities which served as the backbone of the present research inquiry. Anxiety Sensitivity and Risk Taking Behavior Risk-taking refers to participation in behaviors that could lead to an undesirable or dangerous outcome (Byrnes, Miller & Schafer, 1999). Although risk-taking can be adaptive when the benefits of a behavior outweigh the costs or are more probable than the undesirable outcome, it can also be maladaptive when the opposite is true. Reason and judgment are used when assessing risk to determine if the potential gain of a behavior outweighs potential loss (Kahneman, 2003), and research suggests that personality and individual difference variables influence risk perception and risk taking behavior. (Dewberry, Juanchich & Narendran, 2013; Kozhevnikov, 2007). Studies have shown that the Big-5 personality factors (i.e., openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) exhibit different relationships with risk-preference...

As proven, effects caused by smoking can result in: miscarriages, stillbirths and neonatal mortalities, furthermore a mothers breast milk quality is reduced (Cortvriend, 2008). Reviewing these facts, The Smoke Control Act (2007) was constructed to assure children, and expectant mothers are less likely to be affected by passive smoking, on the other hand ASH (Action on Smoking and Health) (2011) report comments that this may cause increased smoking within the home, thus impacting negatively on children. The report does question though, as yet that there is no concrete evidence to support this. In place are many different strategies to support parents/guardians who have made the decision to quit the addiction. Many are aware of the anti-smoking initiatives, supporting organisations are: ASH, smokefree, nicorette support, and smoke free homes. From an early age it is paramount parent/guardian’s encourage children to eat a healthy diet, because as a child grows...

...Bringing Strategy to Life: Aligning your corporate culture with business goals Leaders of high-performance companies understand that a corporate culture that is aligned with its strategic priorities helps the organization achieve business success. The challenge: achieving alignment and sustaining it over the long term. High Performance: As Unique as a Company Itself One of the most striking characteristics of highperformance organizations is the level of harmony between business strategy and organization culture that they manage to achieve and sustain over time. A manufacturer competing chiefly on cost and efficiency, for instance, requires a culture very different from that of a luxury goods retailer for which personalized customer attention is the ultimate differentiator. “High performance” means different things in companies competing on different strategic priorities across industry sectors. In short, the right high-performance environment is one that helps a company achieve a specific set of business requirements. In a high-performance organization, workplace practices must actively influence the employee behaviors needed to execute its strategy and reinforce its market focus. behaviors of leaders are critical in establishing a culture that aligns with the business strategy. But, certainly, this is easier said than done. In fact, many companies’ cultures are not aligned with their business objectives, because their leaders, who by and large focus on the financial and...

...The Importance of Risk Management to a Business All organizations encounter uncertain events when trying to achieve their objectives. These uncertain events may arise inside or outside the organization. Each individual uncertain event that would impact one or more objectives is known as a risk. If the risk would have a negative impact on the business if it occurred, then it is a threat. If it has a positive impact then it is known as an opportunity. The combined effect of risks to a set of objectives is known as risk exposure, and is the extent of the risk borne by that part of the organization at that time. Risk has always been an inherent feature in any undertaking therefore risk management is not a new concept for organizations. The earliest application of risk management within organizations tended to focus on insurance management in terms of establishing financial capacity for the negative effects of adverse events. During the 1970s a broader view started to emerge whereby organizations began to develop a better understanding of the nature of the risks being faced and looked at alternatives to insurance. There remained, however, a focus on the negative effects of risk. Only in recent years have organizations begun to recognize that risk management, in its broadest sense, applies to both negative threats and positive opportunities. In each case a proactive approach is required, which seeks to understand the size of the possible threats and opportunities so that a decision...

...defined as “exhibiting positive behavior even when even in adversity, threats tragedy etc.” it is the ability to bounce back after a disruption. It also means mental toughness, emotional toughness. Commonly used terms closely related to this word are; psychological resilience, emotional resilience, hardiness, resourcefulness and mental toughness. Resilience is also a construct concerning the exposure of adversity and the positive adjustment outcomes of that adversity. Adversity could be defined as any risk associated with negative life conditions that are statistically related to adjustment difficulties, such as poverty, experiences of disasters e.t.c. positive adaptation after these experiences can be termed as the absence of psychiatric distress. Resilience can be defined in many different ways, adequately accounting for cultural and contextual differences in how people or other systems expressed resilience. This is also where a different definition comes up as “the outcome from negotiations between individuals and their environments for the resources to define themselves as healthy amidst conditions collectively viewed as adverse.” Resilience can be viewed as: * Good outcomes regardless of high risk status * Constant competence under stress * Recovery from trauma and * Using challenges for growth that makes future hardships more tolerable. Resilient people are expected to adapt successfully even though they experience risk factors that are against...

The hypothesis of this paper is determine if that one has a positive relationship between perceived organizational support and safety climate was expected that they would have a positive perception regarding safety climate at work therefore lowering one’s work-safety tension. (McGonagle & Kath, 2010, and Gyekye & Salminen, 2007) Introduction Organizational climate is considered to be one of the most significant and important characteristics within an organization. Organizational climate signifies the shared perceptions regarding an organizations values, norms, beliefs, practices, and procedures. Organizational climate may be defined differently from one organization to another but generally refers to the importance to which an organization focuses and emphasizes on an organization’s innovation, flexibility, appreciation and recognition, concern for an employee’s well-being, learning and development, citizenship and ethics, quality performance, involvement and empowerment and last of all leadership. There have been numerous studies that have correlated a relationship between an organization’s climate and an organizations success. If the relationship is positive then the correlation between climate and success is positive and if the relationship is negative the correlation between climate and success is negative.
