...Young Adulthood Case Study Kristina Lamey BSHS/325 May 30th, 2014 Dr. Laura Cobb, Ph. D Background The client is a 25 year old, unemployed, single male. This age is a sensitive time for a person’s sense of self (Gayman, Lloyd, & Ueno, 2011). He grew up in a single-parent home. Since a car accident, he suffered some cognitive damage to his cerebrum and, as a result, is now using prescription painkillers and mixing them with alcohol on occasion to relieve the pain felt from failure to complete college, two unsuccessful relationships, and the absence of his biological father. Since the client dropped out of college, he has not found or wish to look for work. The client’s life and relationship experiences indicate a lack of trust that contributes to his emotional instability and low self-esteem. “Depression often emerges early in the lifecourse and is consistently shown to be associated with poor self-esteem” (Gayman, Lloyd, Ueno, 2011, para 1). Family Relationships “From a developmental perspective, self-esteem is intertwined with social experiences and social development early in the lifecourse” (Gayman, Lloyd, Ueno, 2011, para 5). A person’s family usually sets the tone for how an individual will view the world and interact or contribute in it. The client grew up in a single parent home with his mother and had no involvement with his biological father. In my experience as a professional, young men that grow up without their fathers have a harder time transitioning...

...Total Quality Management Vol. 23, No. 11, November 2012, 1227–1239 Which HRM practices contribute to service culture? Akiko Ueno∗ ,† Royal Docks Business School, University of East London, Docklands Campus, 4-6 University Way, London, E16 2RD, UK It is known that Human Resources Management (HRM) can help to develop service culture, which will in turn improve service quality. The purpose of this article is to determine the relative importance of six HRM practices in terms of their impact on culture. A questionnaire survey of medium and large-sized UK service businesses was conducted. The results reveal that there is a strong association between culture and HRM practices, and that some management practices are more strongly associated with culture than others. Further research should explore the reasons why some HRM practices are more contributory to culture than others. Service businesses in pursuit of service quality should make use of these HRM practices for developing service culture in their organisations. This research has confirmed a strong association between culture and HRM practices, and also clarified the relative importance of HRM practices in terms of their impact on culture in order to improve service quality. Keywords: culture; HRM; services Introduction This article investigates the relative importance of six Human Resources Management (HRM) practices in terms of their impact on culture in order to improve service quality. In a previous study, it was found...

...The Life and Influence of Frederick Taylor Frederick Winslow Taylor was born on March 20, 1865 in Philadelphia. He went to Harvard University to become a lawyer like his father. However, he quit the school because of deteriorating eyesight and had to give up on his dream of becoming a lawyer. In 1874, he became an apprentice patternmaker and machinist. In 1878, He got the license as an engineer and became a machine shop laborer at Midvale Steel. He began developing his management philosophies during his time at the Midvale Steel Works. It was during this period that he developed his theory of “Scientific Management.” He started as shop clerk and quickly progressed to machinist, foreman, maintenance foreman, and chief draftsman. Within six years, he advanced to research director, then chief engineer. Later, at Bethlehem Steel, he and Maunsel White developed high-speed steel. In 1890, he left Midvale Steel Works and worked at a couple companies. He joined Bethlehem Steel in order to solve an expensive machine shop capacity problem in 1898. He registered about fifty patents of machines inventions, tools and work processes. In 1895, he presented to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers an experimental study named “A note on belting” and no long after, he published, “A piece rate system”. Among Taylor’s other contributions to Bethlehem were, a real time analysis of daily output and costs, a modern cost accounting system, reduced yard worker’s ranks from 500 to 140, double...

Jackson grew up in a single parent home with his mother and had no involvement with his biological father. The absence of his father also contributes to his lack of trust in building social and intimate relationships. Liken to this is his shortage of interest in creating a bond with Michael, his mother’s boyfriend who attempts to be a father figure to him. “From a developmental perspective, self-esteem is intertwined with social experiences and social development early in the life course,” (Gayman, Lloyd, and Ueno, 2011).

...QUANTITATIVE SOCIAL RESEARCH Student Name Bader Student ID: ABSTRACT Background: The study entailed an in-depth look into the daily life of medical students. It dwelt on the effect of sleep patterns and their response at work. Moreover, interns were required work in shifts whenever they were summoned. The research was an inclusive report to the numerous works conducted in the past. However, lack of statistical analysis on the relationship of shift work, disturbed sleep and health of paramedic students lead to the study. The hypothesis to be tested was whether there was a relationship between shift work, disturbed sleep and the health of paramedic students? Methods: The recruitment of thirty paramedic students was voluntary, simple random was the study design, and ambiguity ensured confidentially. The interns were supposed to complete a 16-item in regard to shift work, disturbed sleep and the health of paramedics. Results: Over 70% of the participants perceived fewer hours of sleep per week to have a negative impact on physical health; with a probability value close to 0.05. Furthermore, the three hypotheses lead to the null hypothesis rejection was the basis of majority p values of less than 0.05. In respect to the study, there is a relationship between shift work, disturbed sleep and the health of paramedic students. Conclusions: There is an association between shift work, quality of sleep and the health of interns. Therefore...

...Topic 1: Scientific Management How was Taylorism received outside the USA? Contrast the reception of Taylorism in two different countries, one western, one Asian, in your answer. Introduction Before looking in to whether scientific management has always been successful outside of USA, there is a need to look at scientific management when Frederick W. Taylor first introduced it in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Started experimenting at Midvale Steel Company where he tried to improve the efficiency of the workers for increased productivity, he has then already faced the problems and critics of his scientific management that it is still facing today. This includes the time study of work to define the optimal standards for workers while using stopwatches and other devices; critics are against this as they feel the method in measuring performance violates the fair treatment of workers. While it is safe to say that Taylor was a central figure in the development of management thought where his emphasis on efficiency using scientific management, it must be stressed that many others who have applied it, has also adapt and refine additional methods to suit their needs contribute to the success of scientific management (Wren & Bedeian 2009). This paper seeks to discuss how Taylorism is received outside USA as well as compare and contrast the receptivity of Taylorism in Russia and Japan. The global spread and development of Taylorism in the 1950s and 1960s greatly enhanced...

...phenomenon from the pop culture in Japan and has a very close link with the economy, just like the one in the USA at the time where Warhol reflected the movement of industrialization in his work of art. Anime is believed to follow the flow of popular taste and the demand of the market and attract a more diverse audience by its accessibility of cultural exchange. In Japan, anime is seen as an intellectually challenging form of art. Further more, anime invite viewers to think about contemporary issues in a way that other art form cannot. However, we can ask ourselves if anime can be considered as art or at least if it can be taken seriously after the cultural patrimony that Japan has provided throughout the time. When the art critic, Ueno Toshiya visited Sarajevo in 1933 he encountered three panels on a crumbling wall in the middle of the city. The first was a picture of Mao with Mickey Mouse ears; on the second one he found a slogan for the Chiapas emblazoned on it. And on the last one he found a large panel of Otomo Katsuhiro’s Akira, a manga with the main Protagonist, Kaneda (a member of a Resistant group that planes terrorists attacks against the government). Kaneda was saying ‘So it’s begun!’ It was choking and really unexpected to find this Japanese manga as a symbol of political resistance in Sarajevo. So what is art? It is often say that “art is the expression, the application of a human creative skill and imagination, producing works to be appreciated for their...

...Introduction and Motivation Japan is a country that has always fascinated me. I love to travel. I have been to Europe, South America, Canada, and most states in the U.S. However, what draws me to Japan is the distinct difference in culture from anything I have seen before. Japan is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. There is an era of mystique behind the culture. One of the main reasons why I would like to see Japan is because I am curious about what the culture is like. My grandparents are very well-traveled. It is easier to ask them where they have not been compared to where they have been. I remember them telling me about how much they loved Japan, and out of all the countries they have seen, Japan was one of their favorites. They put their trip to Japan up there along with going on an African safari, seeing the Pyramids of Egypt, and bashing around the streets of London. My grandmother has brought back souvenirs and beautiful artwork from the places she has visited, and her most prized possessions are the paintings she has brought back from Japan. I would like to see the country for myself and get a glimpse of why my grandparents have put it so high on their list of favorite places visited. Area History and Customs The Japanese culture seen today dates back many centuries, starting from 710 and continuing to the year 1333. It is greatly influenced by the Nara, Hein, and Kamakura periods (Grayson, 2016). One of the main attractions to Japanese...

...Art and Science Management is both art and science. It is the art of making people more effective than they would have been without you. The science is in how you do that. There are four basic pillars: plan, organize, direct, and monitor. Make Them More Effective Four workers can make 6 units in an eight-hour shift without a manager. If I hire you to manage them and they still make 6 units a day, what is the benefit to my business of having hired you? On the other hand, if they now make 8 units per day, you, the manager, have value. The same analogy applies to service, or retail, or teaching, or any other kind of work. Can your group handle more customer calls with you than without? Sell higher value merchandise? Impart knowledge more effectively? etc. That is the value of management - making a group of individual more effective. Basic Management Skill #1: Plan Management starts with planning. Good management starts with good planning. And proper prior planning prevents… well, you know the rest of that one. Without a plan you will never succeed. If you happen to make it to the goal, it will have been by luck or chance and is not repeatable. You may make it as a flash-in-the-pan, an overnight sensation, but you will never have the track record of accomplishments of which success is made. Figure out what your goal is (or listen when your boss tells you). Then figure out the best way to get there. What resources do you have? What can you get? Compare strengths and...
