The main professional issue presented in this case is intimidation (bullying) of a junior employee by his supervisor. Janice intimidated John to have him comply with her orders or face low performance rating. Janice’s orders were that John allows her to use his program and present it to her boss as her own. In effect, Janice’s boss could never get to know that it was John’s effort and therefore John could not get due recognition for searching the program. In essence, Janice wanted to benefit unfairly from another employee’s efforts, which is unethical. According to ...

Ethical leadership is a construct that seems to be ambiguous and incorporates numerous different elements. Rather than seeing ethical leadership as stopping people from performing wrong thing, it should be viewed as allowing people to perform the right thing.

Leading ethically is understood to be a process of query, asking questions' concerning what is wrong and what is right and a mode of conduct, being a role ...

In such cases, the managers do not understand the benefit they will get if the bring out and nurture the best from each employee. ...

I took the Human metrics Jung Typology TestTM and my results say that I have a slight preference of introversion over extraversion (6%), a slight preference of sensing over intuition (3%), a moderate preference of thinking over feeling (47%), and a slight preference of judging over perceiving (12%). To sum it up, this test claims that I have an ENTP (Extroversion, iNtuitive, Thinking, Perceiving) personality. When I think of the word “extrovert”, I imagine someone friendly, gregarious, and sociable. But when you combine the words “extrovert” and “intuitive” together, the meaning of the former becomes something much deeper. For ...

It is ironical that migrant laborers, who comprise a whopping 85 percent of UAE workforce, face severe issues regarding discrimination, human rights violation, human trafficking, and racism. Newspaper and report headlines stating "conditions for Abu Dhabi's migrant workers shame the West", and UAE: A Move to Protect Migrant workers" duly expose the harsh conditions faced by migrants from surrounding nations. There is a great deal of literature on the conditions these helpless workers face on the foreign soil; however, there is a dearth of studies linking the impacts of these circumstances to the psychological health of migrant laborers. This ...

Personal Statement

1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. When I was a child, I was young, aggressive and rebellious; thinking back on it, it was likely a product of my parentage, which was never the most loving and accommodating of relationships.

As you may be aware, many managers today are realizing that there is something unique and distinctive about the generation that has been labeled the “millennial” generation. These employees, the children of the Baby Boomers, present managers with new and different problems—but new and different strengths as well.

There are, of course, individual variations between Millennials; not all of the information contained in this report ...

Introduction The rise of women top managers in the last decades is almost phenomenal. As early as 2005, female Chief Financial Officers in major American corporations constitutes 7.5 percent of all managers in this position and female Chief Executive Officers around 1.5 percent, a significant increase in representation from the levels (3.0 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively) seen in 1994 (Huang and Kisgen 822). This female representation, though, is still too small to not indicate the presence of culturally defined stereotypical bias against women for the management position, the so-called ‘glass ceiling’ barrier ...

The genre of dark comedy is a fascinating subset of the standard comedy film, combining elements of drama and dark subject matter with comedic elements of the absurd and ironic to create unique works that poke fun not only at the foibles of mankind, but the inherent silliness of extremely serious things. Dark comedy can take many forms, and both American and English sensibilities in particular have their own attitudes and characteristics in their own examples. Two of the most well-regarded dark comedy films of recent years are 1996’s Fargo (directed by the Brothers Coen) and 2008’s ...

Introduction:

There is little doubt that the LGBT community still faces both discrimination and bigotry and many areas of the globe.

However, in some areas of the globe, revealing your sexuality is still more than a political and equal rights issue, it is a life-or-death discussion, that centers around- not the freedoms of- but the safety of those that are openly ...

The descriptions given by Steve Jobs about Apple’s organizational structure seem to comply with the matrix structure.

Organizational structures are generally categorized into four groups that include simple structure; functional structure; multidivisional structure; and matrix structure (Ketchen & Short, 2014). The companies can then adjust the chosen structure so as to suit their objectives and goals. Apple has customized the matrix structure so as to make it more collaborative.

Film Analysis:

Taxi Driver Part One: The Personality Cult In 1976 Martin Scorsese and Paul Schrader came together to present a rather disturbing film that showcased the utter alienation that is felt within an urban society, and regrettable fallout that comes with it. Taxi Driver, starring Robert De Niro as veteran Travis Bickle, is a revealing look into the mind of a man who has become disconnected with the world he feels has forgotten him, a clear message that is sent by Scorsese and Schrader considering the time period in which the film is set, which is after a long, disastrous ...

Responsibility in Kafka’s Metamorphosis

Kafka’s Metamorphosis deals with a lot of issues concerning the modern society.

Of all wars to have been conducted by the USA, the war on drugs is the least promising, with government and law enforcement agencies fighting it in a losing battle. When American authorities got it going some 4 decades ago, it was doomed to be a losing war for a number of reasons, of which one is a historic precedent never taken into consideration. It is well-documented that the only lesson we ever learn from history is that we do not learn any lessons from it at all. However, what America should learn is that conventional tools of mandatory bans and restrictions imposed ...

1. What is the Boss up against in relation to Bartleby? What does Bartleby represent? Who are the major players in the story? What do we know about them? Are they likable? Sympathetic? Realistic?

In the story, Bartleby is portrayed as a character that goes against the norms. The phrase, “I would prefer not to” shows his attitude towards not following the path followed by the majority. Consequently, the Boss is against this retaliation which Bartleby possesses. The story also shows that Bartleby is representative of a force apart from his individualism.

Presentation Outline

With dark red lipstick, a tight lipped lady storms into the office and takes her seat, pushing her bag to the corner she glares at her computer. Her co-workers stand up to inquire, but receive a blunt “I am fine” reply. This contradiction between her nonverbal and verbal language leaves a confusing message for all. Such confusion definitely gives more value to the nonverbal message being communicated to others. Similarly, while giving a presentation in a conference room having the top management of an organization, talking on the subject of downsizing, let suppose a female presenter formally dressed stands up to speak. With normal sized ...

Communication is a fragile, delicate process we often take for granted. In many cases, we do not even realize we are communicating. Most of us believe to communicate we must speak, but this is untrue. We are technically communicating all the time. Verbally, nonverbally, through our movements, and even when we are still, everything that we do communicates something to those around us. The communication process is so complex is can often begin to cause problems for us and those we communicate with. One of the most common places communication problems occur is in the workplace. Superiors and subordinates sometimes ...

One day, while reading the morning newspaper that came to me every day as I sat in my room, I saw an advertisement for a job as a scrivener at a high-powered law firm on Wall Street. I was curious about this, despite the fact that I did not feel particularly up to talking to anyone. For the most part, I tend to find myself feeling very withdrawn, almost catatonic, unwilling to engage with the outside world or expend energy in order to actually get things done. Even so, I felt a desire to try to break those habits, as some unexplainable pull ...

That accidents happen in the workplace because of negligible acts by the company and its employees is without a doubt.

By quitting and not sharing the information, did this worker commit and ethics issue?

The question “why countries that do not have that much natural resources to boast of often appear more progressive and financially stable than countries that are staggeringly abundant in natural resources?” has been common among citizens of both resource-rich and non-resource-rich countries for a very long time. It is actually logical to think that a country rich in natural resources, especially the point-source and non-renewable ones such as oil, diamonds, and other ores, would outperform those that are less blessed because they already have an edge to begin with. However, according to Sachs & Warner (2001), the opposite happens. Sachs ...

The employment laws are written to bring a difference in negotiating authority between the employers and employees. These laws were amended for the benefit of the employees, to provide them with healthier working environments, and to keep the cost of the employees low.

The employment contract represents a relationship of financial dependency and societal subservience. As said by Hogler (2003), the common rule of law states that if the parties do not contract for a particular period ...
