The majority of organizations are competing to survive in this volatile and fierce market environment. Motivation and performance of the employees are essential tools for the success of any organization in the long run. On the one hand, measuring performance is critical to organization’s management, as it highlights the evolution and achievement of the organization. On the other hand, there is a positive relationship between employee motivation and organizational effectiveness, reflected in numerous studies. This paper aims to analyze the drivers of employee motivation to high levels of organizational performance. The literature shows that factors such as empowerment and recognition increase employee motivation. If the empowerment and recognition of employees is increased, their motivation to work will also improve, as well as their accomplishments and the organizational performance. Nevertheless, employee dissatisfactions caused by monotonous jobs and pressure from clients, might weaken the organizational performance. Therefore, jobs absenteeism rates may increase and employees might leave the organization to joint competitors that offer better work conditions...

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND This chapter presents the background of the study, problem andits significance, and the scope and delimitation of the study. INTRODUCTION Over the years, there had been a growing concern in thedevelopment of oral communication among second-language learners with 1Sample 1 regards to the deterioration of their oral English skills. 1 Many have voicedtheir sentiments on the needs to strengthen every student’s grasp of theEnglish language. 2 According to Rama (2000), the main reason why theFilipinos are employed abroad is their ability to speak and understand Englishand so when all countries in the world struggle to learn English, we Filipinosshould not unlearn it. English is a global language and in ad in the worlds of former Education Secretary Richardo Gloria (Castro, 1994), “mastering it willbe beneficial to all our students for they can then compete internationally.” 3 Moreover, Roces (1999) emphasized that the Department of Educationshould prepare its pupils for the Information Revolution and that “…isolatingthem linguistically from the world’s chief language of information is to doomthem from the very start.”Students’ poor command of the English language has challengedmany secondary-language teacher to continue redefining or “…elaboratingmethods systematically trying them out and judging the results” (Sevignon,1983) to come up with novel ways of developing students’ competence inthe spoken language. 4 Sadly, some...

...Anyone may create applications that can read and write PDF files without having to pay royalties to Adobe Systems; Adobe holds patents to PDF, but licenses them for royalty-free use in developing software complying with its PDF specification.[28] The PDF combines three technologies: * A subset of the PostScript page description programming language, for generating the layout and graphics. * A font-embedding/replacement system to allow fonts to travel with the documents. * A structured storage system to bundle these elements and any associated content into a single file, with data compression where appropriate. [edit]PostScript PostScript is a page description language run in an interpreter to generate an image, a process requiring many resources. It can handle not just graphics, but standard features of programming languages such as if and loop commands. PDF is largely based on PostScript but simplified to remove flow control features like these, while graphics commands such as lineto remain. Often, the PostScript-like PDF code is generated from a source PostScript file. The graphics commands that are output by the PostScript code are collected and tokenized; any files, graphics, or fonts to which the document refers also are collected; then, everything is compressed to a single file. Therefore, the entire PostScript world (fonts, layout, measurements) remains intact. As a document format, PDF has several advantages over PostScript: * PDF contains tokenized...

...Company ABC is a leading consumable chemical packaged goods company, offering a wide variety of chemical cleaning solutions and related products and services which have many applications, ranging from large commercial needs, to individual consumers. They have many recognizable brands, both in the U.S. and internationally, including ABC, ABC Professional, ABC Commercial, as well as numerous other brands. Their stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “ABC”. They currently have operations in the U.S., Canada and Europe, with 83% of their sales coming in the U.S., and 8% and 9% in the other two, respectively. As of August 31, 2014, they had approximately 2,300 employees. ABC was undervalued largely due to non-recurrent factors outside of their control, which had a material negative impact on their 2014 and early 2015 earnings. In May of 2014, there was a large fire at their biggest aerosol manufacturing facility, and the damages have been significant. After all costs to get it back up and running, their earnings had been depleted by $0.12 per share. They also were faced with a litigation issue in California, which was opened in 2010 and closed in 2014, decreasing their 2014 earnings by $0.18 per share. In total, these factors cut earnings by 50% while their revenue continued to grow. ABC hired a new management team in February 2014 to focus on growing the company organically. They have since implemented many cost cutting measures down the supply chain and shifted...

...Factors affecting 4th year students of Ann Marris Montessori School in choosing preferred college program. Background of the study: To have a beautiful future means to sacrifice and invest their own money and time to send the children in their family to school. According to Theodore Roosevelt, “Education is the key to success.” In the present times, education in the Philippines is very important. Education is the major basis of employment of the Filipino youth. To graduate with a college degree is to have a good job and even improve their self-esteem. Many of the youth today are confused and uncertain as to what path they should follow after their high school days. During the 1960’s and even today, people who graduated college found more job opportunities available to them than those who had a lower form of education. We believe that students who graduate college with the course suited for them will even have a higher percentage of landing a job. Statement of the problem: * What are the characteristics of the seniors in terms of: Sex: Age: Parents’ educational attainment: Parents’ occupation: Size of income: Sibling position: * What are the top three expressed career choices of the students? * What are the preferences of the students in choosing a career in college in terms of: Childhood aspiration: Family/Relatives: Peer/Friends: Values In demand jobs: School guidance counselor: Hypothesis ...

...3Chapter 3 Research Methodology This chapter presents the research methodology which includes the research design, methods and procedures used in conducting the study. It also includes the subject respondents, research instrument, research environment or locale of the study and analysis of the data gathered. Research Design Descriptive research is used in the study and defined as a description, recording, analysis and interpretation of the presented data. This type of research is the most commonly used and the basic reason for carrying out descriptive research is to identify the cause of something that is happening (DJS Research Ltd, 2010). Descriptive research can be either quantitative or qualitative. It can involve collections of quantitative information that can be tabulated along a continuum in numerical form, such as scores on a test or the number of times a person chooses to use a-certain feature of a multimedia program, or it can describe categories of information such as gender or patterns of interaction when using technology in a group situation. Descriptive research involves gathering data that describe events and then organizes, tabulates, depicts, and describes the data collection (Glass & Hopkins, 1984). The process of descriptive research goes beyond mere gathering and tabulation of the information and data. It involves interpretation of the significance of what is described. Descriptive research may also be defines as a process of gathering, analyzing...

In order to mitigate short channel effects, the gate-oxide thickness and source/drain junction depth have been scaled along with the gate length. Recently, however, gate-oxide thickness scaling has slowed, as evidenced by the fact that an equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of ~1 nm has been used for the past 2-3 generations of CMOS technology.

...research question is the foundation, then the design processes utilized are the walls used to support the process itself. Descriptive statistics is the analysis of data that helps to describe the data in such a way to give relevance or show patterns, much like a census does. The researcher presents the data in a meaningful way like in statistical or graph form making it simple to understand. A census is an examination of all components that make up a population. If a researcher could study an entire population, he or she could accumulate all data needed for the study, however that is almost always impractical. Having access to census data are priceless, or perhaps a better term is pricey. Inferential statistics allows the researcher to take samples of the population and perform estimations and hypothesis tests along with formulating associations...

FOREWORD The nature of a research study should be one in which the investigation leads to new knowledge or enhancement of existing knowledge in the student's field of study, either through acquisition of new data or re-examination and interpretation of existing data. At the graduate level, all students should learn how new knowledge is created, how experimentation and discovery are carried out, and how to think, act and perform independently in their discipline. Depending upon the degree to which the discipline has an applied orientation, the student can demonstrate mastery of the discipline through means such as research papers, literature reviews, artistic performances, oral/written presentations or case studies. The doctoral dissertation is viewed in academia as the ultimate model of documentation of the student's research. The characteristics of dissertation research include the theoretical background, description of the problem, the method which was used to solve the problem, interpretation of results and explanation of their significance. The student is expected to produce a product of excellent quality which reflects...
