Discussion Challenges from case study in developing effective link between reward and performance “Construct It” has the biggest issue of recruiting effective project and site managers. Since there is general shortage of good managers within industry therefore, they demand high salaries in behalf of their services. Thus, the organisation is planning to consider the aspect of performance, which is related to reward to packages for the level of staff that try to assist recruitment along with retention.

Shilpa Jain 1 Assistant Professor, Bus. Admn., Commerce, S.P.U. (P.G.) College, Falna Dist. Pali, Rajasthan. E-mail: mndadhich@gmail.com 2 Student- Commerce, S.P.U. (P.G.) College, Falna Dist. Pali, Rajasthan. Abstract Leadership and management must go hand in hand. They are not the same thing. But they are necessarily linked, and complementary. Any effort to separate the two is likely to cause more problems than it solves.Still, much ink has been spent delineating the differences. The manager’s job is to plan, organize and coordinate. The leader’s job is to inspire and motivate. In his 1989 book “On Becoming a Leader,” Warren Bennis composed a list of the differences: (a) The manager administers; the leader innovates. (b) The manager is a copy; the leader is an original. Keywords: Leadership, Management, Gurus ETC. 1. Concepts of Leadership I used to think that running an organization was equivalent to conducting a symphony orchestra. But I don't think that's quite it; it's more like jazz. There is more improvisation. —Warren Bennis Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training...

...Portfolio In a modern day organization’s behavior, employees and suppliers have as much impact on the organization structure as customers and competitors have had in the past. Organizations are viewed as open systems, continually interacting with their environment and in dynamic state of temporary equilibrium as they adapt to environmental changes. Successful organizations are in constant state of flux in response to their environment, many companies are looking at media technologies as way to market their product and learn about their competitors. This presence could produce a large following depending on the interest in the content created and information shared. The change stemmed from the speed at which information travel in the media arena. In most cases, the information environment outside the organization is changing far more rapidly than the information environment internally. Customers, partners, prospects, and employees can find, access, and share information in a way that corporate infrastructure, security, culture, and policies inhibit. Organizations are having a difficult time responding to or taking advantage of – these new environments. The path of information regarding the organization is no longer just the role of the marketing department. Employees talk to customers, colleagues, and suppliers. They share their experiences, impressions and expectations regarding their jobs, the organization and management. The speed at which the information travels is beyond...

...Psychotherapies Melissa Terrell BEH/225 6/26/2015 Yvonne Patin Psychotherapy is a basic term used to categorize the treatment of mental health issues. The course of psychotherapy normally reveals the emotional condition of an individual. Behavior, Cognitive, and Humanistic therapy are types of therapy often utilized in the treatment of mental health issues. Behavior therapy is derived from the belief that all behavior is learned from one’s environment, which results in abnormal behavior. The focal point of behavior therapy are current problems and behavior that may justify actions, and makes efforts to eliminate bad behavior, and encourage or magnify positive behavior utilizing treatment based on classical and operant conditioning. Techniques utilized were token economies, which is a strategy that allows patients to earn tokens in return for certain privileges and wanted items. Contingency management implements the use of a written contract between the patient and the therapist detailing the goals related to changes in behavior, reinforcement, rewards, and penalizations for not meeting the requirements of the contract. Modeling, is the learning by observing and monitoring the behavior of others. Behavior therapy has been most effective in the treatment of anxiety and/or panic attacks and obsessive compulsive disorders, but on the other hand is not the best course of treatment for conditions such as depression and schizophrenia.

...learning. After this summary one will understand what behavioral, cognitive, and constructivist learning theories look like and how the understanding of these theories are applied to learning. The summary of behaviorism and how it has affected the understanding of learning When one thinks of the word behaviorism the root word behavior presents itself. According to Webster (2010) behavior is the way a person carries, acts, or presents oneself. Add ism to the word and it becomes a doctrine and/or theory.
