The purpose of employment relations it to deal with the employees that are employed by the companies and the issues arising from their employment. Acquiring, developing, maintaining, and motivating staff are all aspects that are covered by the employment relations area. Employment relations are necessary as the employee is the most important part of a business and any troubles that affect employees do affect the business as well. Since the end of 2008 the economic downturn has affected many countries and it has aggravated the crisis of confidence towards the institutions and also in the field of business. Employees have been seeking their trust and, therefore, their commitment to more solid and stable companies (Cohen, 2009, p. 341). Many entrepreneurs, executives, and academics arise frequently how to increase the level of commitment of their employees. This research intends to provide light to two basic questions: in one side, for a better understanding of employee commitment the question would be: what is a commitment and how many types of commitment exist? In the other side, with the purpose of...

...(Furnham, 1992). Frequently, they are used for selection and appraisal due to the vast number of applicants, the high costs of interviewing and the necessity for objective, comparative data (Hogan, Hogan & Roberts, 1996). Recent research in personnel psychology has relied on meta- analysis to develop generalizations about personality characteristics that are characteristic of success in job- related contexts. Accordingly, relating measures of the Big Five to job performance measures suggest that conscientiousness is the personality trait that is consistently related to measures of work- related performance (Barrick & Mount, 1991) and people who obtain high scores tend to be rated highly by supervisors and to be viewed as being more competent employees than those who obtain a low score on conscientiousness. While the use of such measures is fair, eliminating corruption and favouritism, it is evident how personality measures can prove useful within organisations, but with the disadvantages in mind...

...Management Education In a churning global marketplace, understanding the fundamental connections between business, the environment, and society has become essential. The roles and responsibilities of business as a global force are becoming more urgent and complex, and concepts related to societal responsibility and sustainability are gaining recognition as essential elements in business management. Increasing complexity and interdependence require new approaches. Companies need integrative management tools that help embed environmental, social, and governance concerns into their strategic thinking and daily operations. They need support as they internalize and integrate these issues into the core of businesses, engage in dialogue with stakeholders, and report their conduct. They require talented and ethical leaders who can not only advance organizational goals and fulfill legal and fiduciary obligations to shareholders, but who are also prepared to deal with the broader impact and potential of business as a positive global force in society. Any meaningful and lasting change in the conduct of corporations toward societal responsibility and sustainability must involve the institutions that most directly act as drivers of business behavior, especially academia. Academic institutions help shape the attitudes and behavior of business leaders through business education, research, management development programs, training, and other pervasive, but less tangible, activities, such as...

...Public-key Encryption Saint Leo University Network Theory & Design COM-309 Dr. Eduardo Bautista August 01, 2014 Public-key Encryption Intent The intent of this paper is to present the reader with an explanation of Public-key encryption without delving too deeply into the math behind encryption schemes to better facilitate understanding for the layperson. Introduction Cryptography is a fascinating world that predates computers. Beginning in ancient times through the revolutionary period and into modern times, there have been many schemes to protect sensitive data. Notable technics are George Washington's book-key ciphers, Thomas Jefferson’s ‘cylinder,’ (Menezes, Van Oorschot, & Vanstone, 1997, p. 243) and the Nazi Enigma Machine of World War II. (Piper & Murphy, 2002) There has always been a need to have secure communications and the ability to safeguard data that has been intercepted. Modern Cryptology is an art form that uses the science of mathematics in order to provide secrecy, authenticity, and security in the transport of data. “Cryptology also enables us to create trust relationships over open networks; more in general, cryptographic protocols allow mutually distrusting parties to achieving a common goal while protecting their own interests.” (Furnell, Katsikas, Lopez, & Patel, 2008, p. 105) The methods by which these transactions can occur are many; however, they can be broken down into two categories; symmetric key encryption and...
