INTRODUCTION
Various impact dynamic systems have been modelled postulating the expected drilling speed and displacement at given speeds. One of the most basic model [Fig 1(a)] that has been used involves a mass loaded with a force composed of static and harmonic components. Though the model is simple, the model also produces highly complex dynamics where the progression occurs at periodic system response.
However, the stick slip phenomenon observed in this motion of the rock and the drill bit is not analyzed and therefore a more realistic model is required. The other model involves modeling the motion between the rock ...

For this proposal, I will be writing and researching about the Count of Monte Cristo that was written by Alexander Dumas in 1844 (Yardley.). This book has one of the most complicated character web ever written in literature (Roberts). What this book truly explores is the theme pertaining to the aristocracy versus the bourgeois and the definition that the West defines as justice (“Themes of the Count of Monte Cristo”, IMDb). The reason that justice is such a strong theme in this book is that the main character Edmond Dantes was imprisoned when he was framed for treason by ...

Capital punishment is a controversial debate in the United States that has the nation polarized into two distinct and uncompromising standpoints. Opponents base their argument on moral or religious beliefs and also point out the possibility of executing innocent people(Van den Haag & Conrad, 2013). On the other side of the spectrum, supporters of the penalty argue it be a deterrent to potential criminals, and it provides the victims’ families with some justice((Van den Haag & Conrad, 2013).Even though people stand for or against the punishment regarding concrete and rational arguments, symbolic reasons seem to be more influential. ...

Reflective Preface

It is a generally well-accepted reality that Miami is a multicultural city. This place has always been not dominated by White Caucasian Americans, but also of Latinos, Mexicans, and in more recent decades, of Middle Eastern, Slavic and Asian cultures as well. In this regard, it may be an accurate assessment that catering to a single market share, by way language usage, may prove to be disadvantageous to any business entity in Miami, given that there is a high probability that clients or customers will be limited to a particular culture that speaks the same language as the proprietor. ...

Purpose

This paper presents a proposal on a solution to the current Ebola outbreak that has persistently killed innocent people in West Africa. The problem is unlikely to stop given that the health systems in the region are weak. They cannot sustain or deal with a highly feared disease in the nature of Ebola. Furthermore, the problem will soon be a worldwide epidemic if there is no immediate action. Controlling the spread of the disease is the first thing to look at before taking post preventive, curative measures such special screening and treatment.

The health sector of the UAE initially used to be an eyesore. The people relied on traditional medicine. And for the rich, they went abroad for better treatment. This used to be before the discovery of oil in the region. The quest for oil brought the world powers to the doorsteps of the emirates. With them came good health facilities and physicians which helped changed the scenery (Partridge et al., 2009).
The UAE since then has had a drastic turn over. With an increasing rate of hospitals opening and hospital personnel arriving every day, it now has a staggering number ...

In the realm of Western political philosophy, there are many political theories that are found in the dominant discourse. First, there is social contract theory, or contractarian theory; this theory states that individuals must adhere to the communal sense of good and evil in order to maintain that society. According to Hobbes, there is a struggle between the laws and rights of nature of all human beings. People have the right, or the liberty, to do whatever they can to stave off death and see to their interests; however, in order to interact with a group of other human beings, they ...

MEMORANDUM

ABC Company has for a long time been the leading marketing company nationally. However, the current analysis of this company's performance has revealed that it is not performing to its optimum potential. The need to improve the employees' performance has prompted the research teams to develop various proposals to help us achieve this ultimate goal. I take this opportunity to inform you that a study will be conducted to determine the role of management in the motivation of employees and the effectiveness of the motivational strategies used in ABC Company. In addition, there will be a discussion on the importance of motivation at ABC Company to develop a better motivational tool thatto help this company revive and re-establish itself. The members would be expected to cooperate during the study. They would also be expected to give accurate information to establish the right intervention measure.

In closing, I would like to say that the success of this proposal shall depend on your cooperation. I believe that achieving this proposal's objective shall propel the company's organizational performance to higher levels. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Summary

ABC has long been rated as the best marketing company in the country. This performance has been attributed to the tireless effort of the employees. However, in the last two years, the annual general meetings have revealed a significantly low turnover, and the profits generated have significantly reduced. The research team, in collaboration with the management, has been working tirelessly in trying to find out what might be the problem. For a long time, this company has been assessing human resources management by assessing their performance and implementing a good salary system. This form of management has been successful until recently when despite a good salary system, the general performance has been unappealing.

The company is therefore committed to establishing a better motivational tool that may help counteract the company's current state. A study on a correlation among corporate productivity, performance assessment system, and motivational strategies will be conducted to find information necessary for the formulation of appropriate strategies necessary for improving the company's performance.

A survey with multiple choice questions will be conducted to elucidate the correlation among various factors acting on companies. In order to obtain as unbiased answers from responding companies as possible, the survey questionnaires should be as innocuous as they can be.

In the survey conducted, the respondents will be allowed to choose more than one answer to each question to minimize any interference or control by the surveyors. The obtained answers to the questionnaire are then subjected to analysis. An initial proof that the proposed methodology works would be shown in terms of correlation coefficients showing the correlation between corporate productivity against the performance appraisal system and motivation system.

The data collected shall be presented with graphs, pie charts, or tables. The conclusion made shall form a base through which the motivational process shall be prioritized. The findings and recommendations shall then be announced to the staff members so that they know the relevance of the new research and ensure that they cooperate accordingly to the new adjustments.

Purpose

The current era is full of external stimuli from different sources such as media, the internet, and people. These stimuli tend to fix any individual to a certain pattern, which he or she may not afford or sustain. This would eventually create stress for such a person, leading to poor performance in the organization. However, through appropriate motivation, such individuals can be made to understand themselves and how they can always be themselves without being swayed away. This research is to determine and provide a better art of motivating workers by basing on psychological motivation.

The Scope

The scope of this study is limited to large-scale organizations. This is because the study requires highly trained personnel and statisticians who can conduct the appraisal accordingly to avoid wrong intervention.

The Problem

The fact that every employee has different needs and desires implies that the nature of motivation used to motivate such employees should cater to these specific needs if the organization's productivity is expected to improve. This is because an employee's work productivity is affected by their needs. Managers should also acknowledge the differences in behavior among members and understand the motivation that each member expects.

This era of information explosion has brought about some advantages as well as disadvantages. A lot of information is being passed on how to motivate workers, but this information is meant only for some specific big organizations that can give out rewards to their workers without any loss. However, these organizations still cannot realize their optimum potential. It implies that the systems of performance appraisal are poor, and the motivational strategies cannot satisfy the needs of the employees. Due to this, this paper finds its base in researching the motivational ways that can be used to improve the status nationally.

Hypothesis

There is a close correlation between corporate productivity, performance appraisal system, and the motivational system employed.

Assumptions of the Study

The research assumes that the current poor performance of the company is attributable to the inadequate motivational system and that the era of information explosion is negatively impacting the worker's performance, and hence the need to adjust the motivational system accordingly can solve the current problems experienced by the company.

Limitations of the Research

Adopting several motivational systems and conducting performance appraisals is extremely expensive. Due to this, the research would only be significant for large companies.

Literature Review

Performance appraisal systems have a vital role in the organization's success (Latham, 2007). This is because it forms an important mechanism for controlling the organization, where employees can view their performance in the immediate past and take concrete actions for improvement. It also provides important information for human resource management to create fair and correct decisions regarding intervention measures, promotions, incentives, training programs, and career management (Goble, 1970). Companies typically require different performance appraisal systems tailored to the needs of their functions and processes.

For appropriate motivation, appropriate performance assessments must be done (Goble, 1970). Especially the provision of feedback to enable employees to learn how they worked; setting specific goals about what employees should do; team building to enable employees to participate with colleagues and managers in solving problems that hinder productivity, and monetary incentives that reward good performance.

According to Maslow (1954), three factors affect performance: 1) individual factors such as ability, skill, family background, and experience of employment, social and demographic levels. 2) Psychological factors like perception, roles, attitudes, personality, motivation, and job satisfaction. 3) Organizational factors, including organizational structures, job design, leadership, and reward systems.

Most organizations are using different modes of performance appraisal. Compensation is one of the most common. Compensation refers to the benefits received by employees for services rendered to the company, including financial benefits like salary, wages, incentives, bonuses, insurance, allowances, and non-financial benefits like the work environment and payroll systems. These rewards can motivate some employees but not all (Maslow, 1943). Employees will be motivated to perform better when they feel the benefits meet their internal and external needs. Companies must realize that their compensation system affects employee motivation. Per equity theory (Oliver, 1974), the most motivated employees perceive their rewards as equal to their contributions. Feeling rewarded comparably to peers means being treated fairly. Conversely, Maslow's hierarchy of needs states that motivation stems from meeting human needs in a certain order. Although these theories attempt to explain motivation, they may not be feasible today. This research aims to provide a more practical motivational approach to address the limitations of other theories.

Research Design

This study will use a qualitative design with a questionnaire covering various aspects of performance appraisal and motivational systems to collect employer perspectives on motivation and its influence on productivity. Productivity levels will be determined via a balance sheet review. Spearman rank correlation coefficients will determine the correlation between productivity, performance appraisals, and motivational systems.

Data Presentation

Collected data will be presented in simple graphs, with the y-axis showing agreement levels on performance appraisal and motivation aspects. The graph will reflect that a nurturing environment where contributions are valued is more important than rewards.

Strong retention correlates like pride, affinity for the work, leadership, trust, and teamwork indicate appropriate rewards should create an overall positive environment for employers and employees. Individual employee agreement levels on motivational aspects will be determined through survey questions.
