...International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 8 [Special Issue – April 2013] Implications of Retrenchment on Human Resource Personnel and its Functions: A Case of Mines in Masvingo Province Maunganidze F Faculty of Social Sciences Great Zimbabwe University Zimbabwe Mupezeni L Pfebeni G Faculty of Applied Social Sciences Zimbabwe Open Univesity Zimbabwe Abstract The study focused on the implications on human resource personnel of conducting and driving the retrenchment exercise. The research study was prompted by the economic and social decline which Zimbabwe was subjected to for the past couple of years. This scenario necessitated the need for many organisations, including mines to engage in some retrenchment exercises. Previous studies have largely focused on how the retrenched would be affected before, during and after the retrenchment exercise. It has been a norm for organisations to try to cushion their departing organisational members from possible financial, social and psychological effects of the retrenchment exercise through some workshops such as stress management and entrepreneurship. The retrenched were viewed as the only victims of the retrenchment exercise. This study however took a different approach by considering the effects of the retrenchment exercise on the drivers of the program, the human resource personnel, taking into consideration the fact that some bonds would have been existing among employees, especially having in mind the collective...

...Chapter 1 ETHICS & BUSINESS ETHICS AN INTRODUCTION TO ETHICS Ethics is not a recent discovery. Over the centuries philosophers in their struggle with human behavior have developed different approaches to ethics, each leading to different conclusion. The word “Ethics” which is coined from the Latin word ‘Ethics’ and Greek word ‘ethikos’ pertains to character. Ethics is thus said to be the science of conduct. As a matter of fact it deals with certain standard of human conduct and morals. The field of ethics involves systematizing, defending and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior. Ethics is a mass of moral principles or set of values about what is right or wrong, true or false, fair or unfair, proper or improper, what is right is ethical and what is wrong is unethical. MEANING AND DEFINITION OF ETHICS Peter F. Drucker writes- “There is only one ethics, one set of rules of morality, one code that of individual behavior in which the same rules apply to everyone alike.” Philip Wheel Wright says- “Ethics is the branch of philosophy which is the systematic study of selective choice, of the standards of right and wrong and by which it may ultimately be directed.” Swami Vivekananda has set the tone for ethics. He says- “Supreme oneness is the rationale of all ethics and morality. Ethics cannot be derived from the mere sanction to any personage. Some eternal principle of truth has the sanction of ethics. Where is the eternal sanction to be found except...

...he value is in the mentorship, skills, education and inspiration, and in many cases the value comes from being selected. It’s like a form of validation.” It works both ways, as mentors working with start-ups are given access to the frontline innovators in their industry sectors, knowledge that also helps in their roles. Purpose aims to help digital start-ups with funding, mentoring, access to legal and financial advice, new technologies and premises accelerators are still essential to the growth of entrepreneurial ecosystems not only because they provide a petri dish for innovation, but because they create jobs. In an article on AllThingsD today, Jed Christiansen contends that the fundamental value of seed accelerators lies in their ability to both drive economic growth and foster an entrepreneurial culture within local communities. Why important Startups, small businesses and accelerators are critical pistons in the engine of job creation; there are a few who would argue with that. However, research from the Kauffman Foundation puts into perspective just how important they are. It suggests that, between 1980 and 2005, all net job growth emanated from companies fewer than five-years-old. When it comes to how to best reverse an economic downturn, about the only thing you might find politicians agreeing on is the importance of supporting small businesses. For accelerators, it doesn’t matter whether or not all of their startups raise big rounds of venture capital, it...

ABERLE Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore MD, 21202, USA. E-mail: kaberle@abet.org Faster computer chips, corporate mergers, new Internet applications: every day, we are reminded of the sweeping technological change and globalization that appear to be dominant trends of the new millennium. Rapid and multifaceted, these changes can be daunting to engineering educators. Unable to predict so volatile a future, we nonetheless have to make decisions today about what to teach future engineers and how to prepare them for an increasingly international workplace without compromising the hard-won quality of our programs. Fortunately, we have an organization dedicated to ensuring the quality and relevancy of engineering education in the US ± and, increasingly, to helping engineering education programs in other countries strive for goals similar to our own. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, or ABET, is a federation of 28 professional engineering and technical societies that accredits some 1,500 engineering programs, 700 engineering technology programs and 50 programs in engineering-related areas. To receive ABET accreditation, engineering programs must go through a rigorous examination that includes self-study and peer review by a visiting team of engineering academicians and professional engineers. Founded in 1932, ABET...

...INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED STUDY IN EDUCATION SAMBALPUR-768001 Ph : 91 663 2410067 Email : FULL PAPER Challenges of Creating Opportunities In favor of the Marginalised Girl Child : A Step towards Equity and Equality in Education DR. MISS NIRUPAMA BARPANDA ABSTRACT: Women all over the world suffer discrimination. In India, they are deprived of basic human rights including access to education. Their status is much miserable because of the nation’s inherent poverty coupled with inequality. UNDP’s Human Development Report Points out to the trends. In the age of globalisation it is likely that poverty and inequality shall grow further and women may suffer more stringently as it has happened in Phillipines. So it is high time to plan for strategic intervention to ensure opportunities in favour of the most marginalized, especially the girl child, so that she gets appropriate knowledge and skill to live in this world of competition governed by market and earns a dignified livelihood and leads a qualitative life. Contrary to the popular belief that social prejudices stand in the way of girl child’s access and completion of education, research studies have found that poor economic condition of parents is a stronger cause, and an inappropriate curriculum for the marginalized child is even the strongest of all. Creating better opportunities for the disadvantaged girl child would require not only reconstruction of curriculum, but also state’s commitment for adequate investment...

Cialdini lucky few have it; most of us do not. A handful of gifted “naturals” simply know how to capture an audience, sway the undecided, and convert the opposition. Watching these masters of persuasion work their magic is at once impressive and frustrating. What’s impressive is not just the easy way they use charisma and eloquence to convince others to do as they ask. It’s also how eager those others are to do what’s requested of them, as if the persuasion itself were a favor they couldn’t wait to repay. The frustrating part of the experience is that...

The American Red Cross (ARC), also identified as the “The Face of Recovery”, is a humanitarian organization that provides emergency assistance, disaster relief and education inside the United States. The ARC is a non-profit organization that offers services in five areas of society. The community service sector helps citizens that are in need. In the communication sectors, the ARC provides comfort for military members and their families. The collection, processing and distribution of blood and blood products are also services provided by the ARC.

...“Is Post-Appraisal Weeding good strategy?” Dilip Thosar Paper for The International Research Conference on HRM 25-26 August 2012 at MIT College of Management, Pune Is Post-Appraisal Weeding good strategy? Dilip Thosar Fellow Student, AHRD (Academy of Human Resources Development), Ahmedabad. ABSTRACT Many progressive Indian organizations are seen to annually lead a practice of weeding out their lowest-performing manpower, with the strategic intent of increasing their performance capability and competence. The genesis of this practice lies in the “20-70-10 principle” which states that the top 20% of workforce is productive, 70% work adequately and the remaining bottom 10% do not deliver and should be fired. During the annual appraisal, the head of every business team within the organization is asked to classify his/her team-members into top, medium and bottom performers. Those in the bottom bucket are asked to resign. This reportedly creates tremendous dissonance and unhappiness across the organization. There seems to be no evidence of the expected theoretical result of a continuously improving highperforming business unit. Even short-run competence is not reported to increase perceptibly. Notable is the expensive attrition and erosion of precious employee-engagement among residuals, with consequent burn-outs and reduced productivity. The significant negative outcomes of this practice seem to outweigh any positive potential. Literature studied and industry leaders decry it as...
