...Chapter 4 Notes What are Values? * Values are a broad tendency to prefer certain states of affairs over others. * The preference aspect of this definition means that values have to do with what we consider good and bad. * Values are motivational, since they signal the attractive aspects of our environment that we seek and the unattractive aspects that we try to avoid or change. * They signal how we believe we should and should not behave. * Broad tendency means that values are very general and they do not predict behaviour in specific situations very well. * People tend to hold values structured around such factors as achievement, power, autonomy, conformity, tradition, and social welfare. * We learn values through the reinforcement process by parents, teachers, and representatives of religions. Generational Differences in Values * Generations are: 1. Traditionalists 2. Baby boomers 3. Generation X 4. Generation Y * Categorized by different ages, but also distinguished by growing up under different socialization experiences; which in result could cause different values. * Such values differences might underlie the differential workplaces assets and preferences of leadership style. * Some indication that Gen X and Y are more inclined to value money, status, and rapid career growth than are boomers. * Also evidence that Gen X and Y, compared to boomers, see work as less central, value leisure more, and are more...

...Chapter 4- Job Satisfaction * Job satisfaction is one of the several individual mechanisms that directly affect job performance and organizational commitment * If employees are very satisfied with their jobs and experience positive emotions while working, they may perform their jobs better and choose to remain with the company for a longer time * Job satisfaction- how a person feels about their job, and what they think about it * Employees with high job satisfaction -> positive feelings * Corporate culture, opportunity to use skills, opportunity to learn and ability to be creative are reasons for job satisfaction Why are some employees more satisfied than others? * Employees are satisfied with their job based on things they value * Values- things that people want to seek * Values are important because they explain how satisfied or dissatisfied someone is with their job * Value-percept theory- A theory that argues that job satisfaction depends on whether the employee perceived that his or her job supplies those things that he or she values * Dissatisfaction=(Vwant- Vhave) * (Vimportance) * Vwant- reflects how much of a value an employee wants * Vhave – indicates how much of that value the job supplies * Vimportance- reflects how important the value is to the employee * Since the difference of want and have get multiplied, the discrepancies get magnified for important values and minimized...

...Values Reflection Paper Laura M. Martinez CJA/474 June 8, 2016 Michael G. Wilkie, DPA, Chief of Police (ret) Values Reflection Paper Money, stability, education, automobile are all things many people value, something that can be seen or felt or put into a garage for safe keeping. This is not always the case because there are some many more things in this world that need to be valued, and a price tag is not necessary for people to obtain them. When thinking about what are my core values the words came to me fast and quick. Honor, honesty, loyalty, trust, faithfulness, and caring. Nurturing, genuine, integrity and stability are right there up there in my top ten. Honorable is how I feel when I follow my values and that feeling helps me be a better person, mother, and daughter. I want my daughter to look at me and know I did the best I could for her, and I and I did it by standing by my values in a true and honorable way. Honesty is a huge value I stress to my daughter and the kids I help raise. I explain to always be honest even if it means not getting things your way, or possibly getting into trouble. I explain to them I would be more upset with them if they lied, than if they would tell me the truth. I practice this in my work environment as well. There are times when I am honest with a co-worker about something she did that I was not happy about, later they would come to me and apologize and thank me for being real and honest about the situation. I find this stops issues...

...Job evaluation is defined as a systematic process of determining the relative worth of jobs in relation to other job in order to establish which jobs should be paid more than others within an organization (Snell & Bohlander, 2010). The goal of job evaluation is to achieve internal equity during the salary system formation. In other word, job evaluation means the process of objectively determining the relative worth of jobs within an organization. It involves a systematic study and analysis of job duties and requirements. The evaluation is based on a number of compensable factors. Job evaluation can measure the value of all jobs within an organization and produces a rank order ranging from entry level positions to the most senior positions within an organization. It provides a framework to administer pay. The purpose of job evaluation is to helps established internal equity between various jobs in which wage paid is equal to the value of the job. When establishing the worth of a position, issues of internal equity are considered. Internal equity is defined as fairness in the relationship of a job’s salary range when compared with the salary ranges of similar jobs within the organization. The salary range for a job is considered internally equitable if the salary is commensurate with responsibility level of the position. It is important that a job evaluation is felt to be fair by everyone in the organisation. Effective communication, ongoing consultation and transparency are...

It is common to identify process costing with continuous production such as the following. • Oil refining • Foods and drinks • Paper • Chemicals Process costing may also be associated with the continuous production of large volumes of low-cost items, such as cans or tins. Features of process costing (a) The output of one process becomes the input to the next until the finished product is made in the final process. (b) The continuous nature of production in many processes means that there will usually be closing work in progress which must be valued. In process costing it is not possible to build up cost records of the cost per...

In computational experiments, we compare the practical efficiency of a dynamic programming approach, an enumerative method and a heuristic list scheduling procedure. Test results show that each solution method has its advantages and none of them can be rejected from the consideration a priori. Keywords: flow shop, late work, dynamic programming, enumerative...

...Personal Values When one thinks of values the first thing that probably comes to mind is something of great importance held with high regard. In Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary (2010) values are defined as “individual or culture beliefs”, and something of “relative worth or importance.” There are various types of values such as “ethical/moral, social, and aesthetic values” that play apart in how each individual conducts them self. However, it is one’s personal values that direct an individual in making decisions, especially those in regard to right and wrong. In the corporate world peoples personal values play an essential role in the choice’s they make. Using the Williams Institute Ethics Awareness Inventory Assessment results the author seeks to determine what conclusions can be in matters such as personal values, how they align with the values of Kudler Fine Foods, and how these values would affect an individuals work performance. The Williams Institute Ethics Awareness Inventory Assessment (2010), concluded that the author’s values are “most closely aligned with obligation.” Obligation is described as “an individual’s duty to do what is morally right” (Williams Institute, 2006). The author is morally bound to do the right thing. When given a task the author accepts it as a personal responsibility to complete correctly, within a given time frame, and with the companies best interest in mind. If assigning a task the author would expect others to proceed in a manner...

...is to see the effect of these gender discrimination dimensions which include glass ceiling, salary gap and discrimination in facilities on the productivity of female employees with the mediating effect of job commitment and job satisfaction. The research is focused on the private education sector. The population frame is the female teachers in the private education institutes. A sample of 130 female teachers is collected for this study. The framework is developed for our study for checking the impact of glass ceiling, salary gap and discrimination in facilities on the productivity of female employees. The hypotheses are developed and after the data analysis some of the hypothesis are rejected and some of the hypothesis are not rejected. The hypotheses that the glass ceiling, discrimination in facilities and salary gap has negative impact on employee productivity is accepted which made us to conclude that these discrimination has a big impact on employee productivity and ultimately organizational performance. This study will give some guidelines to the managers and policy makers in any organization that how to reduce these discriminations.

...discussion of organization member behaviour (Rue & Byars, 2009). As recent research pointed out that organization member behaviour can be affect by many factors, yet values have long been considered important to explain action in and around organization (Schwartz,1992; Potocan & Nedelko, 2011). In this essay mainly focus on how personal value as a vital diver of working and behaviour. Different person may have different value that leads different thought, attitude and behaviour, whereas understand how value drive a personal behaviour is not only important for a manager but affect the organizational behaviour as well (Collins & Porras, 2002). Therefore, the discussion will emphasize how personal values adjust into a group or an organization; and how personal values influence the organization behaviour. Besides, the discussion will go through the influence of personality to give further discussion on how an individual fit into an organization. The Hofstede’s Cultural Framework and The Big Five Personality Model will be used to explain how value and personality drive individual behaviour. 2.0 Discussion 2.1 Values Values represent a specific mode of conduct or end-state of existence is personally or socially preferable to an opposite mode of conduct or end-state of existence (Robbins & Judge, 2013).

To be able to continue to attract the best and brightest employees. II. Areas of consideration 1. Value system Value system is a set of ethical values and measures used for the purpose of ethical or ideological integrity. Organizational value systems are standards of behaviors that govern individual employee behavior within an organization. A personal value system on the other hand is a set of principles or ideals that drive or guide a person’s behavior. Absence of organizational value system encourages employees to pursue behaviors in line with their personal value system, which may not be the values the organization wants to develop. CERD lacks organizational value system. Its absence encouraged some women employees to develop exclusive groupings. It abetted unfair practice of exclusively grabbing training opportunities abroad by some management and training section personnel, curtailing equal opportunity and personal ambitions and career growth of other employees like Sylvia Gregorio. Other indicators include frequent discussions of male engineers’ drinking sessions, girls and disco prompting Sylvia Gregorio to lament that regular staff appears more intellectual than the engineers. There is also that gender bias, at least within the Solar section, where jobs usually involves installation works. Men are preferred...
