Through a survey involving 80 lecturers, the researchers were able to investigate the job satisfaction, career growth and salary progress as the factors affecting teacher retention in the selected universities.

There are some students who have no idea what direction or career path they are going to take once they have received their diploma.

...Salary and Career Path Research Sarah Tiller Argosy University Part I: Internet Search of Potential Salaries My degree of choice is Information Technology and according to my research on Indeed.com, the average salary for jobs in this field is around $60,000 a year. However a degree in Information Technology opens me up to a wide range of occupations so I chose Computer Support Specialist as my occupation. Under this occupation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the salary earned is around $50,000 a year. The salary references and career information given by the BLS are very reliable to me due to the fact that it’s powered by the United States Department of Labor. It comes completed with a wide range of information choices including pie charts for various levels of the career field of any occupation. The information I gathered is also what I set my goals towards so that it remains somewhat consistent. Part II: Library Search for an Article from a Professional Journal The journal I found rather interesting was called “Technology Tools to Support Reading in the Digital Age”. It details the advances in digital technologies which were dramatically altered to make more texts and tools available to teachers and students. These new advantages have created a lot of excitement amongst those in the technological community because of their potential to be used as instructional tools for literacy education. I myself find this very useful, considering the fact that...

...Academic Finance as a Career: The Good, The Bad, and the Not-So-Pretty Don Chance James C. Flores Endowed Chair of MBA Studies Louisiana State University Current version: January 4, 2011 (Original version: November 19, 2007) Most undergraduate and masters students in finance (MS and MBA) are preparing for a career in the world of finance. Oftentimes, jobs in finance have titles like financial analyst, credit analyst, and assistant treasurer, with the possibilities of someday becoming a vice president of finance, chief financial officer, treasurer or some other high-ranking position of responsibility. Finance is an important field to study because it deals with the management of money, a subject of central concern to every business, government agency, or nonprofit organization, and indeed every individual. Knowing how the financial world operates, the characteristics of securities, and how investment decisions should be made serves one well for many career paths. The study of finance also helps to prepare a person to manage his or her own money and increase the likelihood of accruing significant wealth over time through solid principles of investing. Few students consider another finance-related career option: becoming an academic in finance. Most students know little about this career choice. Their experiences with finance academics are typically limited to their familiarity with classes taken from their professors. But there is a lot more to it than this. And it is probably...

Based off our conversation, we took your interests and previous work experience into consideration as we compared specific criteria between these two careers. While working for your previous employer as a junior accountant, you show your ability for detail and organization. An accountant must possess these skills as well as the ability to work independently. I also gathered from our conversation that you are not one to handle a tremendous amount of pressure well. As a financial analyst, this is a skill that is required. You could be faced with many deadlines that could be very stressful. Your education course of study was also included to compare to the education requirements of each career and even though there are many similarities between the two, there are many differences. For example, both careers require good written and oral comprehension but an accountant needs to have excellent mathematic skills and be able to choose the right formula to solve a problem. This skill is not as important as a financial analyst as is the ability to develop solutions to complex problems that need to be solved....

Since that time the field has grown steadily, with an increased number of pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training programs, more journals and books devoted to psychology and law, the development of a specialized set of ethical guidelines for forensic psychologists, a regular conference held every March in addition to the annual summer meeting at the American Psychological Association convention, the involvement of psychologists in filing amicus briefs before the U.S. Supreme Court on issues relevant to psychology and law, and the presentation of a regular workshop series in clinical-forensic psychology by the American Academy of Forensic Psychology("Careers in Psychology," 2016).

Objective career success operationalized as the number of leadership positions held did not mediate the relationship, but income change and career satisfaction mediated the relationship between the hours worked and years employed in emergency medicine. Work centrality was significantly related to subjective career success more so for men than women and perceptions of success or self-efficacy were positively related to subjective career success for women, but not for men. The expected pattern of women indicating more difficulties with personal time and family time did not emerge; but women did indicate less perceived support from the organization, fewer EM leadership positions, less perceived...

In line with this, researchers have conducted numerous studies to demonstrate the positive association between HR and performance and provide encouragement to the HR professionals with their empirical results. The present paper makes a critical analysis of such literature and adds value to the concept. Although such strong relationship exists, the mediating or intervening variable in the process was not dealt with. This review based work identifies the intervening variable and provides a convincing evidence and explanation to the linkage process.
