...private sectors is the ability (or inability) for an organization to transfer rights of ownership.)”. For example: Chic-fil-a is recognized as a private entity and H.E.B is known as a public entity. Predetermined hypothetical comparisons and contrasts were also mentioned in the article. The comparisons mentioned between the two sectors were on worker productivity, organizational effectiveness and public scrutiny. The contrasts were centered on monetary focus, transparency of goals, the framework of governing, how to measure competence. Previous Research Analyzed The Authors analyzed previous studies of discrimination amongst the entities. Other readings have essentially investigated prejudice trends within each entity, with the majority of the studies centering on the public entities. Federal government’s equal employment opportunity recruitment programs, Federal Glass Ceiling Commission, and federal court cases were also examined. Studies that the authors mention reveal public sector may have less discrimination trends. However, these readings do not measure validity since they only measured prejudice-related variables. Method of Research Dr. Leasher and Dr. Miller used the OCRC database to research discrimination claims. The four leading bases of claims on record were race, gender, disability, and age which were under the state law of Ohio or federal the law. Analysis of Hypotheses Findings The Authors found: - Race counted for 34.1% of all claims - Gender counted for 17...

... (Greenleaf, 1977; Spears, 1995). Greenleaf speculated that one individual could simultaneously be both a leader and a servant. Though the foundation of the concept is associated to Greenleaf, he states Jesus Christ amongst other biblical front runners are the greatest leaders who served others. (Greenleaf, 1977). Servant leadership gained popularity after the writings of Greenleaf in 1970. Since the original 1970 essay by Greenleaf, additional research articles, books, and lectures have been written on the topic of servant Leadership. In the article, Work, Spirituality, the Moral Point of View Kenneth E. Goodpaster describes the concept of Servant Leadership as a buzz phrase that has taken corporate America by storm, In an environment racked with stress, insecurity, tough decisions and 60-hour weeks, you might expect a resurgence of a management model, based on Machiavelli's Prince, Leonia Helmsley or some other Theory-X icon. Instead, there's a stirring in the opposite direction: A flood of management books, articles and musings that propose the idea of leading from a service perspective; managing from the heart, value-based management, sensitivity and vulnerability. (1995, p 40) Examples of servant leadership are dated back to biblical era of Christ. Through these illustrations we will investigate the effects of this style of leadership from and organizational point of view. Measuring the Effectiveness of Leadership After a case study conducted in an effort to...

...In Other Words This book addresses the need for a systematic approach to the training of translators and provides an explicit syllabus which reflects some of the main intricacies involved in rendering a text from one language into another. It explores the relevance of some of the key areas of modern linguistic theory and illustrates how an understanding of these key areas can guide and inform at least some of the decisions that translators have to make. It draws on insights from current research in such areas as lexical studies, text linguistics and pragmatics to maintain a constant link between language, translation, and the social and cultural environment in which both language and translation operate. In Other Words examines various areas of language, ranging from the meaning of single words and expressions to grammatical categories and cultural contexts. Firmly grounded in modern linguistic theory, the book starts at a simple level and grows in complexity by widening its focus gradually. The author explains with clarity and precision the concepts and theoretical positions explored within each chapter and relates these to authentic examples of translated texts in a variety of languages, although a knowledge of English is all that is required to understand the examples presented. Each chapter ends with a series of practical exercises which provide the translator with an opportunity to test the relevance of the issues discussed. This combination of theoretical discussion and...
