...S-3 The Autonomy of Infants and Grown-up people After we have the concept of the autonomy, and the qualification of being an autonomous person, now we can get into the discussion of the autonomy of grown-up people and infants. The Autonomy of Grown-up people It is straight forward for the case of grown-up people, according to the notion of Kantian autonomy in S-2, we can infer that it is possible for a person to become an autonomous being by exercising one’s rational reasoning and to practice acting in accordance to the principle. For any people with an adequate level of learning abilities (ordinary adults, teenagers, or even children), theoretically, they could all become an autonomous person, if they are willing to practice their rational...

...time during the day; it brings in happiness and health into our lives. Because we spend most of our time at work, I’m going to talk about the benefits of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation at our jobs. In the appendix of this paper is an article called, “The Impact of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivators on Employee Engagement in Information Organizations” by Rajesh Singh. This paper will go over a summary of the article and how the article relates to motivation. Additional references will be made from the text book, “Management” by Schermerhorn, J., & Bachrach, D., for a comparison and contrast to the article. Lastly, all the information presented in this paper will show how a manager could become a more effective leader in the 21st century. Let’s begin with a summary of the article Research study This is a research article that was conducted from St. John’s University in New York, within the division of Library and Information Science (LIS). Ninety-eight students from the LIS management class held a research study from spring of 2013 to spring of 2014. This study was to prove that intrinsic motivation was more effective than the traditional rewards and punishment methods, or sometimes referred to as “carrot and stick”. Before the research began, an in-depth review of the following theories was researched: Taylor’s Principles of...

...College students especially women are vulnerable to rape, as stated in the article, “one in five women who attend college will be the victim of a completed or attempted sexual assault compared to one in six women in the general population.” (Wade 18). My research questions help advance the discourse by informing and putting students aware of what consent actually means, and how being victims of rape doesn’t automatically make them responsible for what happened. I personally feel that this topic is important to my community because people, including myself, aren’t properly informed about what consent actually is when is comes to rape and how to act upon it. We tend to briefly know about the subject instead of making our research about...

...White Paper 3 1 and the Higher Education Act of 1997. Both have broad implications for strategic planning at institutions of higher education nation-wide. The provisions of the Higher Education Act fall into three broad categories: s justice and equality; s responsiveness to the needs of the society; and s co-operative governance. An elaboration on each of these provisions is found below. Justice and equality The new framework is designed to meet the educational needs of South Africa through significantly changed national economic, social and political structures.2 It seeks to guide fundamental changes in higher education to correct, redress and overcome the legacies of apartheid, so that higher education becomes more socially equitable and promotes social justice more generally. The government makes a commitment to ‘equity, justice, and a better life for all’.3 The White Paper stipulates greater efficiency in terms of student throughput and output rates and in terms of the success rates of black students. Social responsiveness The national framework seeks responsiveness to address societal interests and needs by producing graduates who are equipped to participate in a globally competitive economy, enabling them to contribute to the reconstruction and development needs of society. Specifically, the White Paper calls for shifting enrolments towards science/technology and career-oriented fields and programmes, and urges the growth of basic and applied research within...

...A Reaction Paper Many of the people around us act as a catalyst to help us to imagine and reach out to accomplish great things. Hillary Clinton once said that “It takes a village.” and by that she meant our teachers, neighbors, friends, parents, clergy, etc. These people, unless unlimitedly talented, are challenged at times to motivate those that they love, guide, and advise. The never ending questions is what triggers people to act. Scholars refer to internal and external factors that drive people to act. Such factors include values that are inherent,, curiosity or interests. Although internal factors are not externally motivated or rewarded, they can be influence by people to move or act in specific ways. The interplay between the internal factors and the external factors is the premise in which self-determination theory was developed. Results from research has shown that rewards, verbal recognition, and the desire for good grades are elements that motivate people. These elements are referred to as external factors. Self Determination Theory Self-determination theory by Ryan and Deci (2000) presents a broad framework through which the personality and human motivation can be studied. The theory presents various extrinsic and intrinsic values of motivation and looks at the various roles of both values in the social and cognitive development. The theory presents six mini theories to argue its main points. They include the cognitive etheory that looks at intrinsic motivation...

Furthermore, a nontraditional family structure such as single parent, step parent, and parent(s) who could not work due to illness. Moreover, the study found that authoritarian or uninvolved parenting styles increased risk of homelessness among youth. This article is critical to my research on youth homelessness and YEAH! Berkeley because it outlines the risk factors and potential causes as to why youth experience homelessness. Prevention efforts are critical to ending youth homelessness, and the more people understand about why youth become homeless the better they will be at helping them.

...1. Introduction This paper focusses on proactive behaviour in organisations and how this can be stimulated by implementing certain human resource practices. Scientific research on these subjects has been done and can be of added value in practise. The first chapter elaborates on the concept of proactive behaviour. 2. What is proactive behaviour? A review of the literature shows that several conceptualizations have been used to define proactive behaviour. Yet, based on Crant (2000), I regard proactive behaviour as a set of characteristics of an individual that includes acting in advance of a future situation, rather than just reacting. It means taking control and making things happen instead of adjusting to a situation or waiting for something to happen. Based on the literature I believe that proactive behaviour occurs on an individual level and people showing this kind of behaviour are able to trigger changes in an organisation. The general concept of proactivity that consists of four different constructs of proactive behaviours (proactive personality, persons initiative, role breath self-efficacy and taking charge) seem to support my believe. Crant (2000) describes that each construct considers the way in which an employee approaches and defines his or her work, focusing on efforts to improve things in the workplace. Yet, there is insufficient research to draw any conclusions about the relative usefulness of the four constructs. It is important to note that a differentiation...

...Comparison Matrix Paper This Research paper will compare two empirical articles. One is based on leadership traits and the other on leadership skills. The first journal article: Leadership Traits, Leadership Behavior and Job Autonomy of Imams in Peninsular Malaysia: A Moderated Meditation Analysis by Mutalib, M. and Abdul Ghani, A is based on leadership traits of imams in Peninsular, Malaysia. The second journal titled “Understanding the Strength of Gentleness: Soft Skilled Leadership on the Rise by Marques, Joan is based on leadership skills. The leadership traits article has two authors from two Islamic religious universities while the second article on leadership skills is written by an author. The first study examined how and cognitive ability, personality, religiosity, motivation to lead, past leadership experiences and motivation to lead can affect leadership behaviors while Marques examined in her study how “soft skills” have risen to dominate charisma of past effective leader in the recent time. In the first study the authors emphasized that the Imams traits can influence their leadership behaviors while in the second paper, Marques said that recently soft leadership skills are appreciated more by the followers than the Charisma of any transformational leader in the past. So it is very important to look at the authors questions to see what works better in the 21st century leadership. Comparison of Research Questions...

...Bachelor Thesis Organization & Strategy Job motivation and stress factors What is the relationship between job motivation and stress factors and how do they contribute to overall job satisfaction? 6751 words Stefan Geurts ANR: 476831 Bachelor Thesis Organization & Strategy Preface After finishing my bachelor degree in the summer of 2008, I started a pre-master program at Tilburg University. Writing this thesis is the final assignment that has to be completed, in order to proceed to the master Strategic Management in the next academic year. I would like to thank Mr. D.P. Kroon and my group members for giving feedback and guiding me during this assignment. 2 Bachelor Thesis Organization & Strategy Executive summary This paper examines the relationships between job motivation, stress and satisfaction based on former literature. In general motivation is positively related to satisfaction and stress is negatively related to satisfaction. According to Herzberg (1987) job motivation is determined by motivators and hygiene factors. Motivators lead to satisfaction, absence of hygiene factors leads to dissatisfaction. Important motivators are achievement, recognition, work itself, responsibility and growth or advancement. The main hygiene factors are company policy and administration, supervision, interpersonal relationships, working conditions, salary, status and security. When trying to increase motivational potential of jobs, managers have to increase the motivators on the...
