Elton Mayo (1880 – 1949)

Workers are not only motivated by money but social needs should be considered too.

Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856 – 1917)

He says that employees are motivated by money, which is opposite what Elton Mayo forwarded. Workers do not enjoy working but they need to be forced or supervised.

Abraham Maslow(1908 – 1970)

He said psychological needs of the employees are important and should be fulfilled.

Frederick Herzberg (1923-2000)

He believed in two-factor theory of motivation. He argues that, there are factors, which motivate employees directly (motivators), and other de-motivates them not to work hard (Hygiene factors).

Theory of Scientific Management by Frederick Winslow Taylor is a motivational, which is important at work place. This theory is applicable at work place because workers are motivated by pay for them to be effective and efficient (Deci & Ryan, 1995, p. 31). Even if workers are paid well, they need to be supervised or forced to work. Workers do not like working and therefore, they need to be coerced (Deci, 1971, p. 105).

Supervisors and managers should break down the tasks to be accomplished and assigned to individual workers depending on their skills and experience. They will be paid according to tasks completed based on their efficiency (Latham, 2007, p. 237). This will ensure workers maximize their productivity because payment depends on the work done. This theory is therefore applicable if employees are to be motivated based their effectiveness and efficiency. It is applicable if the job can be broken down into tasks (Deci & Ryan, 1995, p. 49)

However, this theory may not be applicable in some jobs or work places. If the work done is not measurable or one is paid fixed amount monthly, then, the theory is not applicable (Madsen, 1968, p. 302). Employees can be de-motivated if they are forced to do a lot work and yet they are paid less. Workers will protest and demands for more pay because they think they are being forced to work. Forcing and supervising employees may not be applicable because they will think they are being treated unfairly (Deci, 1971, p. 109).

Q. b

Because the theory could not be applied at work place, the management had to design a model that motivated employees to perform even better. The ramifications or challenges for failing to motivate the employees and convince them to work are because employees are naturally not willing to work (Weiner, 1992, p. 202). Lack of structures and procedures to determine the work one has done was the major challenge. This will led to low productivity, which in long run would not meet the demand in the market (White, 1963, p. 175).

De-motivated employees will do poor quality work and are not satisfied in whatever they are doing (Latham, 2007, p. 237). Employees do no like being forced to work because they think they are not performing as expected. Forcing them to work led to strike and demonstrations demanding favorable working terms and conditions (Deci, 1971, p. 115).

The psychological needs of employees are important to be satisfied instead of only focusing on payment only. The Maslow theory should be considered because it is essential (Cianci & Gambrel, 2003, p. 143). This theory should be applied because there are more other needs that should be satisfied for an employee to be motivated. These include safety, physiological, social needs, self-esteem, and self-actualization. Employees should not be forced to work but be explained slowly and clearly on what to do and why they should accomplish the work in time. Motivated employees are more productive than those who are forced or coerced to work (Cianci & Gambrel, 2003, p. 143).

Introduction

Being not only a psychiatrist and psychoanalytic but also a philosopher, Jung has left a lot of unique and practically applicable legacy whose importance is being constantly rediscovered in many of the spheres of human thinking - psychology, literature, education, culture, philosophy, sociology and many others.

Abstract

It is without a doubt that the fair value accounting faces numerous reproaches resulting to the never ending debate about its applicability as well as effectiveness.

Introduction

Hazard identification and mitigation should be a consistent part of any government or corporate program. No one can actually say when a disaster may strike and that is the main reason why no one can make the fatal mistake of becoming too complacent that everything will fall in their place at the right time because surely, anything that can go wrong will eventually go wrong. A government or a company that cares about corporate social responsibility knows that importance of planning early even before a natural or a man-made disaster occurs, especially if the hazard is located near public ...

According to Buchanan (2000) the rules people make should not be confined to suit their interest only. They are external rules that govern the relationship between people in society. In this times and day no person can in a life similar to the Westphalia world. We need relationships with the outside society. No one can fully sustain themselves without the help of the external environment (Buchanan, 2000). Buchanan believes that the laws by Rawls define a past generation of events and policies. He argues this by putting across the idea that civilization and globalization does not allow for laws ...

In the context of international trade, the term “Covered Interest Rate Parity” implies to the situation in which there exists equilibrium between interest rates and forward and spot currency values of two economies. Consequently, there are no opportunities for arbitrage between these two currencies. As an illustration, consider nation A, whose currency is trading at par with nation B’s currency, (Robert, 2005, pp. 21-6). However, the rate of interest in A is 5% while in B is 2%. Ceteris paribus, it would be beneficial to borrow currency of nation B, change it in the spot market to the ...

The reason I find this particular type of research (second language acquisition, particularly of Arabic) appealing is my fascination with intercultural studies and the difficulty of defense language learning. Because Arabic is such a uniquely difficult language for an English speaker, due to their dramatic structural differences, finding new and better ways to learn it is vitally important.

I know many people in the military; as a result, I have several preconceptions toward military and American attitudes toward Arabic as a language. Often, cultural attitudes toward Arabs and the like are relatively negative; the aggression and violence bred by military service, combined with a lack of education and exposure to people from different cultures can lead to some disdain about learning the Arabic language. There is an initial anxiety that is exacerbated by the pressures of military service and impending or possible deployment to Arabic-speaking countries. These factors can contribute to greater difficulty in learning defense languages like Arabic. My agenda in performing this research is to find ways to make such a difficult language for English speakers more palatable and learnable, ideally by comparing the value of existing methodologies and strategies such as Rosetta Stone with the new interventions being researched.

The Pimsleur language system works by focusing on four primary ideas of language acquisition: anticipation, graduated interval recall, core vocabulary and organic learning (Pimsleur, 1967). Pimsleur requires the student to take an active role in the memorization of words and language, participating in complex exercises that require critical reasoning skills. This is a direct contrast to simple 'listen and repeat' memorization that occurs in other language interventions. In the Pimsleur method, participants repeat phrases based on audio from a native speaker; further phrases integrate new vocabulary into the old phrases, while explaining their meanings. This has the effect of creating a better understanding of the language through the four principles mentioned previously - the speaker anticipates a new meaning, while learning organically through repetition and reasoning. The Rosetta Stone language learning program is a set of software that includes pictures and sound, along with text, to match words and grammar functions with their audiovisual components. The goal is to make intuitive decisions about what vocabulary terms match with what phrase; there is no translating or drill sequence to the method.

Comparing these two methods to the proposed qualitative design, it is hoped that the new design would provide a more comprehensive and applicable context for learning modern defense Arabic. In this qualitative design, an intensive curriculum based around the final learning objectives (FLO) of the Oral Proficiency Test the students at the DLIC have to take will be administered. These topics include: Introducing self, family relationships, daily routine activities, past and future narration, free time and hobbies, describe your hometown including advantages and disadvantages, important aspects, describe a person’s physical characteristics, description of places, the most embarrassing experience in your life, foods, and clothes, etc. By using these unique contexts, the curriculum would prepare these students for the specific situations in which they would be using modern defense Arabic, and thus would provide a more specialized education for them. Learning these everyday situations would help to minimize discomfort and anxiety regarding Arabic language usage situations.

The overall result of this intervention could be a greater cultural understanding between military officers who have successfully learned Arabic and those natives with whom they will interact as a consequence of military service. I wish to make sure to foster more positive relations between the two groups, which might make American occupations and military deployments in Middle Eastern countries go much easier.

When determining interpretive frameworks that are applicable to this study, it can be said that it will take a phenomenology-based approach: in essence, the study itself will be seen as an event, and its effects and performance will be interpreted through the human experience of its participants. As the overall goal is to create the most comfortable and effective education experience for the participant, the viewing of the study as a phenomenon will make viewing the effects easier. There may also be a cultural lens attributed to the interpretation of the data - that of a defense language and military context for language learning - though that is not the overall goal of the study. There are certain cultural factors that may come into play regarding the learning of a defense language itself: does the context of learning the language of those that may be considered enemies color the attitude a participant has toward learning said language? While the primary goal of the study is to merely examine the effectiveness of a change in intervention, some discoveries regarding this question may arise in the course of the study as well.
