...Is it more important to do work that one finds fulfilling or work that pays well? People have different thoughts about what work they would want to choose, and two of the many categories which affect the choice are the money they can earn and how much they fulfill by working for the job. But, it is more important to do work that one finds fulfilling than doing work that pays well. Firstly, working for something that someone finds fulfilling will give the person to have less stress from work than working for something that pays well. For an example, if a person does works at a place he does not want to work at, but is working for it to get large amounts of money, he is going to get stressed out because he will not know why he is really working for the job apart from the fact that he is going to get more money. On the other hand, if a person works for something that he finds fulfilling, he knows why he is working for it, and will feel more content and happy about it. Secondly, working for something that someone finds fulfilling gives more chances to the person compared to a person who works for something that pays well. For example, if a person likes doing something, he will get excited about it, which will boost up his capabilities and skills, and help him succeed in getting a higher position, or get more things out from the job. But, if a person works for something just to get more money, he will dislike the things he is doing compared to the person...

...Do Prisons Work? Can Individuals be Reformed or Rehabilitated through Incarceration and Treatment Programs. Critically examine the Current Treatment Programs offered and Subsequent Impact on Recidivism upon Individuals being released globally and WA specifically. This study will examine the effectiveness of current prison treatment programs in Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, United States of America in rehabilitating or reforming an individual and coinciding recidivism rates upon a prisoners release. Prison based treatment programs for sex offenders in Western Australia, New South Wales and New Zealand are examined and recidivism rates compared. Treatment programs for offenders with drug and alcohol issues and the various strategies within the criminal justice system such as diversion, education and drug court programs are examined and differences explained. Rehabilitation programs such as education, life skills, employment and cognitive behavioural treatment are explained and research discussed. Conclusions will be drawn outlining programs with the highest level of recidivism both in Western Australia and globally. The “nothing works” mantra (Martinson) 1974, is seen to be refuted and treatment is seen to be successful when it is matched to the criminogenic needs of the offender (MacKenzie, 2006). Future recommendations are made in regards to the need for correctional staff to assess each offender as an individual with different needs, and to therefore...

...It is always difficult to terminate a business, especially after you have invested so much time, effort and money in the company. What makes it even more complex is going into business with others whom you expected to help the business succeed, yet it does not end up that way. For this case scenario, Chris and Pat Smith, and the two chefs, J. P. Martin and L. L. Miller, need to get together to make some tough decisions on potentially dissolving the business At Your Service. Chris and Pat Smith want to dissolve the business, but Miller is asking to have the business transferred to her and Martin. Assuming Chris and Pat Smith agree to transfer At Your Service to Martin and Miller, and Martin and Miller continue to run the catering business the following issues would need to be resolved: • How the $15,000 left in the investment would be split. • How to handle the lease on the rented space, which has 18 months more to run. • How to handle the lease for the van, which has 18 months more to run. • How to handle the lease on for the kitchen equipment, which as six months more to run. Chris and Pat Smith, and Martin and Miller decided it was best to have a termination contact set in place to secure all partakers in their final decisions. They noted it was best for all to have precise, clear explanations all of all essential fundamentals for the termination of their business partnership. An acknowledgement of the effective termination date would need to be set, and all potential...

...HRPYC81 PROJECT 4809 Assignment 2 What motivates people to do volunteer work? MJ SCRIVEN TABLE OF CONTENTS LITERATURE REVIEW There are almost as many reasons for getting involved in volunteer work as there are volunteers. Once people get started, they find that their deepest rewards are ones they didn't expect when they first came looking for a volunteer assignment. Participants entered the volunteer world through ads in the paper, articles in the media and invitations by friends. They wanted to get involved in a new community, they overheard someone talking about a need or they just wanted to be active. Some wanted to repay a perceived debt to society and others took up volunteer work as part of a major reassessment of their lives and priorities. They came looking for a better balance in their lives, a learning experience, something to do with their time after retirement or something to add to their skills and their resumes. A good number had a stake in the organization where they were helping. This might be a friend or relative with a disability or a disease or the expectation that they themselves might someday need the service. “The idea that an individual would make significant personal sacrifices for another person, particularly when that person is a stranger, has long fascinated students of social behaviour” (Clary et al. 1998: 1516). “Volunteerism may be defined as contributing one's time or talents for charitable, educational, social, political...

...Why do people work? That’s the single most important question in the field of management. How you answer it can tell volumes about your management style. The most common answer is: “Because they have to.” If you believe that, you are likely to favor tactics like punch clocks, close supervision and constant nagging, minimizing any opportunity for your workers to shun their work. Another common answer is: “For the money.” That one leads you to intricate financial arrangements, attempting to tie each worker’s pay to his or her output, and providing an array of monetary incentives for extra effort. But the truth is, we all know people who pour themselves into work that they don’t have to do. And we’re all familiar with the volunteer who works harder than the paid staff, or the “dollar-a-year” executive who seldom goes home to sleep. For most of us, even a modest amount of self-examination will reveal that “because we have to” or “for the money” are, at best, only partial answers to the very complex question of why we work. Gaining a better understanding of what motivates people will make you a better manager. It will help you get the most out of those who work for you. The classic text on this subject is “The Human Side of Enterprise,” published in 1960 by Douglas McGregor, a founding faculty member of MIT’s Sloan School of Management. Mr. McGregor’s book argued that behind the decisions and actions of every manager are a series of assumptions about human behavior. Most managers...

...Listening As instructors, we’ve seen students doing things during class other than paying attention to class discussion or taking notes. These things range from reading a newspaper or magazine to text messaging, answering phone calls or just talking to a friend. This is distracting not just to instructors, but to others in the class. Being able to take good notes, and to be a good student overall as well as being successful in your career, primarily involves good listening skills. We want to teach you things that will contribute to you being a person and a professional of good quality. We want you to be respected by other people. If you show people that you are a quality person, they will respect you more and you will achieve more in your career. Being a good listener is a mark of a person of high quality because: 1. You show respect for everyone involved and they will respect you for that. When you are engaged in something else during class, during a meeting, in court, etc., it sends the message that you are not fully listening. As an instructor, boss, coworker OR a classmate, that tells me that you are discourteous and unprofessional! 2. When you pay full attention, you show people that they are worth your full attention. They then tend to respect you more! 3. The more you pay attention, the more you can take in and use information, which shows that you are a capable person, which will earn respect. On the other...

...Impact of Globalization on Human Resource Management Bhushan Kapoor, Professor and Chair, Information Systems & Decision Sciences, Cal State University, Fullerton, USA ABSTRACT The roles and responsibilities of Human Resources departments are transforming as the modern business faces pressures of globalization. The global supply of talent is short of its long-term demand, and the gap is a challenge for employers everywhere. The shortage between the demand and supply of talent is likely to continue to increase, notably for high skilled workers and for the next generation of business executives. Now organizations need to place greater emphasis on attracting human capital rather than financial capital. Global staffing and management of a workforce diverse in culture and language skills, and dispersed in different nations are the key goals of global human resources. Only those multinational enterprises willing to adapt their human resource practices to the changing global labor market conditions will be able to attract and retain high performing employees. Companies with the ability to foresee their business needs and their workforce needs – especially for high skills – will gain the decisive competitive advantage. Keywords: Human Resource Management, Globalization, Data Analytics, Data Warehouse, Online Analytical Processing, Data Mining, Key Performance Indicators, Dashboards, Scorecards.

...I love the idea of how batteries work, but I never looked into who invented it. As soon as I noticed that Alessandro Volta was an option I thought it would be a fun assignment to learn about him. Volta was a physicist, chemist, and a pioneer of electrical science. He contributed to today by inventing the electric battery, discovering methane and internal discussion. He not only did those things he was also able to apply part of his last name as part of potential energy term for the battery “Volts.” Volta was born in Como, Lombardy, Italy on February 18, 1745. His parents’ names were Donna Maddalena, who came from a family of Counts and Filippo Volta, who came from a noble lineage. His parents had seven children who survived childhood....

...1 Define solar system ? Ans The region of the universe near the sun that includes the sun, the nine known major planets and their moons or satellites, and objects such as asteroids and comets that travel in independent orbits. The major planets, in order of their average distance from the sun, are Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. 2 What are epidemics? Ans An epidemic is the rapid spread of infectious disease to a large number of people in a given population within a short period of time, usually two weeks or less. For example, in meningococcal infections, an attack rate in excess of 15 cases per 100,000 people for two consecutive weeks is considered an epidemic. Epidemics of infectious disease are generally caused by several factors including a change in the ecology of the host population (e.g. increased stress or increase in the density of a vector species), a genetic change in the pathogen reservoir or the introduction of an emerging pathogen to a host population (by movement of pathogen or host). Generally, an epidemic occurs when host immunity to either an established pathogen or newly emerging novel pathogen is suddenly reduced below that found in the endemic equilibrium and the transmission threshold is exceeded. 3 what are geo science? The earth is in continuous change. Scientists from many branches of science are required in order to understand the large range of variations occurring in the planet. The different disciplines...

...Introduction: In 1975, Zara was founded by Amancio Ortega who is still their largest shareholder and wealthiest man in Spain. Ortega started in 1963 with clothing factories and expanded over time to retail and manufacturing. He believed that all functions should be linked in the apparel industry because consumer demand was very difficult to forecast. In 1985, two important events occurred. The first was the formation of a holding company for Zara and the other retail chains. The second key event was that Jose Maria Castellano Rios joined the company as their IT manager and shared Ortega belief’s that computers were critically important in enabling the type of business they were looking to build. Castellano became Inditex’s CEO in 1997. In addition to believing in the importance of computers, Ortegano and Castellano agreed on two other topics regarding the company: Zara must respond quickly to the needs of their customers and the two and other senior managers must leverage the intelligence and trust the judgment of the employees throughout the company, which is why stores were given the freedom to order what they thought they would be able to sell. Inditex operates 1,558 stores in 45 countries out of which 550 stores are a part of Zara chain and generates 73.3% of Inditex’s sales. Zara offers a large array of new style clothes for Men, Women, and Children couples with moderate price point. Women’s clothing accounts for 60% of Zara’s revenue. Zara has developed the business...

...or ‘no’ answer by marking a box on a ballot paper. Referendum on the alternative vote On 5 May 2011, voters in the UK were asked to take part in a referendum to decide whether they wanted to change the way we vote in general elections. They had a choice between the first past the post system, which was already in use, and the alternative vote. You can find out how both of these systems work by visiting our interactive whiteboard on elections and voting, and selecting 'Compare the vote' from the main menu. The Liberal Democrats and Conservatives agreed to hold this referendum as part of the coalition agreement – their decision to form a government together. 68% of the voters who took part in the referendum chose to keep using the first past the post system and 32% wanted to change to the alternative vote. As a result, first past the post will continue to be used in UK general elections. Other referendums in the UK Before the alternative vote referendum, only one nationwide referendum had taken place in the UK. This was in 1975 when the British Prime Minister Harold Wilson asked voters ‘Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)?’ (The Common Market has since grown into the European Union.) 67% of voters answered ‘yes’ and the UK is still part of the European Union today. Several referendums have also been held in particular regions of the UK such as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. For example, in 1997, voters in Scotland were asked whether...

...How Do They Work? BUS311 Business Law I 12/17/2012 Abstract In this paper, I will reflect on the operation of contracts. Business law shows how contracts may be classified in several ways depending on the manner in which they are created, expressed, or performed.

I will also discuss the impact of the contracts in a business and show the true propose of contracts. I will show what is needed in a contract to be legally enforceable. I will discuss how a contract must contain the following six elements: an offer and acceptances, a mutual agreement, a consideration, a competent parties, and legality of purpose, and proper form. All of this will be discussed in depth in the following paper. Contracts Within Business Even though the operation of contracts, business law show how contracts may be classified in several ways depending on the manner in which they are created, expressed, or performed.

...organisms (Genetically Modified Organisms) An organism whose genetic characteristics have been altered by the insertion of a modified gene or a gene from another organism using the techniques of genetic engineering. Explain how transgenic organisms work. What is the process? A flowchart is helpful: The genes of one species are modified, or transplanted into another organism. Transgenic Organisms are possible due to recombinant DNA technology (the procedure used to combine DNA segments) . This technology gives scientist the ability to practically cut, paste and copy molecules of DNA. This allows scientists to remove the gene from one organism and place it into another organism, giving it a trait encoded into that gene. Plants are commonly used in these experiments, the flowchart shows this process. The steps in the process are: The plasma is removed from bacterium, and the T-DNA is cut by a restriction enzyme Foreign DNA is cut by the same enzyme The foreign DNA is inserted into the T-DNA of the plasmid...
