The compensation of collegiate coaches entails the payment for the services they offer during the games they manage. It is evident that regardless of the services offered by the coaches, it is prudent to pay them without discrimination of any sort (Kahn, 2015). The services the coaches offer are almost the same because the management of a game is not an easy task. Though there exist various factors that determine the financial status of a college, it also tends to affect the amount allocated to sports. Therefore, the amount paid tends to vary, though not by the game, but ...

Reasons for variation in performance rating

In a case where two employees perform the same job, and all of him or her have exemplary ratings, the evaluation team could decide to give one employee a smaller percentage merit because his pay falls within a lower quartile and give another employee a larger merit percentage because his pay falls within a higher quartile. The first quartile consists of individuals who meet minimum qualifications and have no sufficient experience (Kahn & Lange, 2014). This is basically an entry level position where those who are employed require more training to expand their knowledge skills. Due to the nature of ...

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a sensitive topic in the society. This is because although it is one of the most common situations, it is also one of the least discussed or reported to authorities (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2007). This phenomenon is based on the negative perceptions of those who undergo IPV under the judgmental eye of society, associating this unfortunate situation to their physical or moral standing (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2007). Even though IPV rates have drastically reduced in the present society, these demeaning perceptions have still maintained their presence among those affected by IPV, for both genders. Nurses are ...

Abstract

The concentration of carbon dioxide has been abnormally increasing over the years. In the year 2016, its concentration exceeded the limitations, and has been considered as a dangerous situation. As a response to the increasing carbon dioxide content in the Earth’s atmosphere, different processes are being suggested in order to lower the concentration. Carbon Capture and Storage, or CCS, is one of these processes. Generally, there are three different phases of this process: the pre-combustion, the oxyfuel, and the post-combustion. These three phases have different processes in which the carbon dioxide content is being separated from the other ...

Radiologic technologist refers to a healthcare professional that carries out diagnostic imaging processes (Hong et al., 2013). The diagnostic imaging procedures include magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography scan as well as X-ray examinations. Many of these professionals work full-time hence working at least 40hours a week. However, studies suggest that overworking these professionals lead to fatigue which brings about discrepancies in their operations (Nejati-Koshki et al., 2014).

Effect of overworking radiologic technologists

Overworking radiological technologists result from under-staffing these practitioners in a health care system (Niederwanger et al., 2013). Staff shortage is considered the leading cause of discrepancies and errors in radiology (Yi et ...

As Louis Kahn - a famous American architect of Jewish origins – I can mention the necessity of a new building to be designed. Considering the style is mostly represented in the architectural style of Philadelphia, the proposal of a new building will leave no one apathetic. Some significant buildings like the Yale University Art Gallery, Richards Medical Research Laboratories, Salk Institute, and many others may become the prototypes for such a work.

Statistics galore revealing the wage differential across occupations and industries. By contrast, critics on the 'right' opine that the pay gap is just a 'myth' as women deserve to get paid less because they work in less demanding jobs than male counterparts.

A company with high workforce engagement tends to outperform those with low workforce engagement. The achievement of desirable levels of workforce engagement is influenced both positively and negatively by a number of factors. Studies ...

The fire is considered a (singular) wildfire (rather than a collection of wildfires). It has been attributed to warmer-than-average atmospheric conditions, with temperatures rising more than 40o F above normal for this time of year.

I am working towards becoming a training and development manager. I harbor the belief that all capable individuals should assist their colleagues to achieve their optimum potentials. Ideally, a fortunate or less informed individual should be willing to assist the less informed or the less fortunate ones. An individual’s weakness should not be a basis for discrimination or despise. Instead, it should be a valuable opportunity for one to build greater and more desirable competencies for another person. Where an individual shows the desire and willingness to develop other people’s talents, they also benefit themselves in one ...

Labor constitutes a fundamental factor of production, and it is one of the determinants of services and commodity prices.

Sooner or later, with malicious intent or by mistake, the Cold War could turn into a "Hot War". Everyone understood it, and there ...

Introduction

Over the decades, the United States of America has been an egalitarian human society that has dedicated its resources to the eradication of women inequality and racism (Katz & Moore, 2004).

Despite these tremendous steps, racism and gender discrimination in the workplace still continues to be prevalent.

A.N. Whitehead famously claimed that all Western Philosophy was nothing more than footnotes to Plato. But long before Plato or Socrates, there were many Greek thinkers who looked for answers to many of the same questions that Plato had asked. Two of the most famous of these thinkers were Heraclitus and Parmenides. Both of these philosophers were thinkers were pre-Socratic metaphysicians and asked questions related to the nature of reality. Since they were both two of the oldest philosophers in Europe, many of their ideas seem quite strange to modern readers and the fact that their works only exist ...

(a) A hierarchical structure and organization by functional specialty as enunciated by Weber’s principles of modern bureaucracy are two important facets of a government organization because they both serve as control tools in the efficient delivery of basic services to the public. Hierarchy represents the classic command-and-control relationship that is a defining feature in many organizational settings, including governments. A hierarchical structure permits those in the higher rung of the hierarchy to review the conduct of activities by those in the lower rung. It serves as a control tool that assures democratic accountability or to put it bluntly, ...
