Introduction

If a job is well-designed, it may foster employee well-being and engagement, and therefore contribute to work performance that leads to customer satisfaction (Bakker et al., 190). Job design provides a description of the way “jobs, tasks, and roles are structured, enacted, and modified and what the impact of these structures, enactments, modifications, are on the individual, group, and organizational outcomes” (Grant et al., 318). For a period spanning over half a century, job design theories have played a significant role in guiding scholars and practitioners to offer descriptions, explanations, and effect changes in the work experiences and behaviors ...

How Residential Proximity Affects Students Life

Introduction
One of the prominent concerns of many students joining college is whether they will be able to enjoy an active and fruitful social life (Clouder, 2012). Consequently, it has become increasingly necessary to know how specifically the proximity to campus affects student engagement. Proximity, in this context, refers to how close or far away from campus a student lives. Students living on campus are taken to be the students living within the campus and those within a walking distance to the campus. Students living off-campus, on the other hand, are those that require commuting to campus from the places ...

Overview and Literature Review

Courting the youth vote is one of the primary objectives of political parties in any representative form of government. The youth vote ensures a party's or representative's future in government, but many representative forms of government struggle with encouraging youth participation in government, particularly when it comes to participation in the voting process. Research shows that people within representative forms of government, particularly within large-scale representative democracies, often face severe alienation from their government and from the voting process as a whole (Blount, 1998). Young people are particularly prone to alienation from the process of civic engagement, and one of the ...

There are more than 1.4 million non-profit organizations that operate around the world and thousands of new non-profit organizations are established daily (p. 1). Unlike business enterprises, non-profit organizations do not function to generate income. They also do not share the earnings to the organization's ...

One of the individuals most responsible for how CSR is currently viewed is R. Edward Freeman. Freeman's stakeholder theory of CSR looks at the relative influences that a wide array of stakeholders have on a company's CSR efforts. The ...

What is the main asset of any successful organization? State-of-the-art equipment? Production facilities? Unique technologies? Of course not. People, talented professionals, are those who make the system work, reach challenging goals and gain the company profit. However, sometimes even talented employees are unable to achieve the objectives set up by the manager. As a result of employee frustration and the manager dissatisfaction the company may lose an expert and bear additional costs on searching a new employee, training him and so on. However, the solution often lies in the management system, and in the abovementioned case management by objectives ( ...

Introduction

Policies play a central role in the implementation of an organization’s aims and priorities. They give directions that guide the implementation of decisions through certain parameters. Managers in various organizations require policies in order to make either subjective or objective decisions. The impact of any policy directive involves both intended and unintended effects (Walker et al., 2014). While intended effects seek to derive positive impacts, unintended effects occur in complex adaptive systems. The significance of ethics in policy development process cannot be gainsaid. Policy development requires observance of certain ethical principles and codes that define a particular environment for which ...

Individual Resistance to Organizational Change

Introduction
Effective and efficient change management is critical to the continued organizational success. Initiation and effective management of planned organizational changes remains one of the most important aspects of strategic management, but despite the existence of a wealth of empirical and theoretical information on organizational change, the rate of success for such initiatives remains dismal. According to Kotter (2007), upwards of 80% of organizational change initiatives end in failure, with an estimated 50% of such plans collapsing before the actual implementation stage. Erwin & Garman (2010) observes that less than 38% of planned organizational change initiatives were successful, while only ...

Past research results have indicated diverging views on the same issue. While some studies have found that school drop has no effect on crime and deviant behaviors, others have found out that school dropout has a close relationship with deviant behavior as well criminal activities. Other studies have indicated that students who drop out of school tend to shy away from crime and deviant behavior. Drapela (49) attributes these divergent views and findings to the fact that researchers do not have a common standard upon which they can divide their school drop outs into categories. Different school dropouts’ categorization criteria applied ...

A Review of Research Design

The clinical research question for the proposed study may be stated in the PICOT-guided statement: “Social behavior and engagement outcomes from animal assisted therapy of at least a year among elderly patients with dementia in long-term care facilities”. The research design essentially flows from this research question, whether qualitative, quantitative, or even mixed design. The qualitative-quantitative typology must not be perceived as dichotomous, but as a continuum with mixed design research located in the middle of such a continuum (Creswell, 2008). Unlike in the earlier decades, this continuum are no longer viewed in terms of words (qualitative) or numbers ( ...
