...Self-Determination Theory 312033788Work2218Assig1S12012 Word count: 1648 Motivation. A word used often to describe a compelling force that drives people to participate in task and activities such as; a marathon, diets, and writing case reports. But, where does this motivation stems from? To understand where, we must understand? And how can we sustain this drive in every aspect of our lives? This report will cover self-determination theory and how it relates to an associated case study. Other theories and examples will be given along the way, but the focus is on understanding what factors play a role in motivating people to act. Self-Determination Theory is the investigation of people’s inherent growth tendencies and innate psychological needs (Deci & Ryan 2000, pp 68), and its distinction between autonomous motivation and controlled motivation (Gagne and Deci 2005, pp. 333). Self-determination theory separates extrinsic and intrinsic motivators to examine in what ways can intrinsic motivation be sustained and applied to tasks that are displeasing. However, the conditions for personal growth, well-being, and social development must be met. Through research the universal necessities needed to promote the perfect conditions are autonomy, competence, and relatedness (Deci & Ryan 2000, pp 68). Self-determination theory could be paired with Cognitive evaluation theory which focuses on external and internal factors, but is limited to sonly those two. Self-determination...

...The Hampshire Company has provided the needed information to compute Traditional Costing and Activity Based Costing (ABC). Based on the information provided, The Hampshire Company should use Activity Based Costing. Activity Based Costing improves a costing system by identifying individual activities as fundamental cost objects. “The development of an ABC costing methodology could typically be analyzed with focus on the following phases: 1. The determination of the significant operational activities. 2. The identification and collection of costs specific to each of these activities. 3. The identification of the cost drivers for each of these activities. 4. The determination of the activity unit costs. 5. The allocation of the costs to the cost objects based on the activity consumption (Buys, Pieter, Green, Kevin)”. It should be understood that an ABC system is not intended to replace the general ledger, but to be viewed as a tool to translate the general ledger. The Activity Based Costing system will identify activities (things the company does) of the value chain, calculate the individual costs of activities, and assign costs to cost objects. The activity-based technique will reach its full potential when it has expanded from Activity Based Costing to Activity Based Management. When looking to adopt the Activity Based Costing system, The Hampshire Company will need identify the activities the company performs. Identifying activities can be difficult and they will...

...chose not to focus on the subsequent peace process that followed after the war and its impact on the main powers like European powers but rather he focused on the impact of the peace process on the side states like Korea and china. These countries didn’t play a major or rather significant role in the peace process in fact they were largely ignored. Central to his thesis is the Wilsonian message of national self-determination and equality among states. To be well conversant with the encumbrance and openings implanted in China's the excellent place to start is on Jonathan D. Spence's good new book. ''The Search for Modern China,'' a detailed account across centuries from the fall of the Ming dynasty in 1600 up to the point of death of the democracy movement in June 1989, will educate everybody students and public alike of Chinese history. The effect and similar causal sequence of Wilson's discourse from 1918 up to the end of Paris peace conference is what Manela defines as the "Wilsonian Moment. As per Manela, Wilson radical ideals was based on his need and determination for all the nations of the earth to become self-governed and to embrace colonial ideologies. Wilson was directing his message to Europe audience but the broadcasting media in Europe send the message across the globe and it was welcomed by leaders from non-western developing countries. The nationalistic movement emerge especially within eastern countries following up on Wilson’s vision. Manila in his book highlights...

...Personal Responsibility and Determination Even though life gets in the way, personal responsibility is the way that I can take charge of my life. As an individual I am accountable for everything that I do because I am the only person that can determine how successful I will be in college and the workplace. Only through my determination and hard work can I steer toward accomplishing my goals that I have set for myself. It is important to keep my expectations realistic and achievable while setting the bar high enough to keep life interesting. My personal responsibility and accountability can be controlled and maintained by good time management and organization. I can manage my time by dividing up my days to work on my days to fit in time for God, my family, work and my education. By setting a specific time that I am going to work on my studies, I should be able to concentrate on the work without too much stress and neglecting my duties as a mother. Simply having the tools for school available when I need them will help me keep me on track with my education and all that it entails. Organization is already a huge part of my life because when I am organized with my time, job, and home, I find it much easier to relax. Prioritizing everyday activities at home such as laundry, working in the yard, and general household duties help me allocate my time to the things that are most important. So often, life presents us with things that “need” to be done but we always have...

...Olivia Thomas Economics 7/1/2016 Wage Determination in Professional Sports We work day in and day out for the same dollar every day. Shouldn’t the wages change when the economy changes? The question maybe what is wage determination? The answer is the listing of wage rates and fringe benefit rates for each classification of laborers and mechanics which the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor had determined to be prevailing in a given area for a particular type of construction. To further understand how wage determination works we have to know how it’s rated. A classical economists argue that wages—the price of labor—are determined (like all prices) by supply and demand. They call this the market theory of wage determination. When workers sell their labor, the price they can charge is influenced by several factors on the supply side and several factors on the demand side. The wages rate shouldn’t be a set price or amount. Whatever the current economic status is should determine how the rate of wages should be. Most wages and rates are based on earnings. Your weekly or bi-weekly earnings set the rate of wages. Earnings are equal to wage rate multiplied by number of hours worked, so an employee learns that the minimum wage of $7.25 and the typical work week of 40 hours will equal to $290 per week and only $15,080 a year. Wages differ from nations, regions, occupations, and individuals. Generally wages will be higher where the demand...

...Environmental Control of Sex Determination Chih Hao Huang Introduction In many organisms, sex are determined by their inheritance of sex chromosomes in developing embryo, such as human and grasshoppers (Hurney et al. 2016). But some other organisms are different, their development of sexual phenotype do not rely on chromosomes, but influence from environmental factor such as temperature or parasite invasion (Hurney et al. 2016). One of the example is Ceratopteris richardii (C-Fern), which is a tropical homosporous fern, contains no sex chromosomes but can differentiate into hermaphrodite or male gametophyte (Hurney et al. 2016). The sorus on the leaf of C-Fern produce spores via meiosis (Hurney et al. 2016). During gametophyte stage, C-fern spores produce haploid gametes (sperm and/or egg) via mitosis; male gametophyte produce sperms and hermaphrodite gametophyte produce both sperms and egg (Hurney et al. 2016). Gametophytes germinate earlier are hermaphroditic, which are heart shaped with archegonia and antheridia; males are smaller and thumb shaped, surrounded by antheridia (Hurney et al. 2016). Sperm and egg will fertilize in to a diploid zygote, which is the beginning of sporophyte stage. Later the zygote will develop into an embryo by mitosis, and then the embryo will develop into a fern and the life cycle starts again (Hurney et al. 2016). By being a homosporous, C-Fern can self-fertilize with hermaphroditic gametophyte which promote survival; having males gametophyte...

...Introduction Employee voice is an umbrella term used to capture the many forms of practice that give employees a view at work. These processes and structures enable, and at times empower, employees directly and indirectly to contribute to decision making in the business. This report will look into two forms of employee voice; employee representative participation and direct employee involvement, it will look at a specific practice of each form of employee voice and analyse the strengths and weaknesses on their value to the employee. Representative Participation In 1996 a European Works Council was made a mandatory feature of any organisation with over 1000 employees that operate in over 2 EU states (EUGOV, 1996). In the UK (from the 6th April 2008) any business with a workforce of 50 persons or greater must establish a works council on demand. As a result the presence of a works council today is a very common method of representative participation. The term "works council" applies to any body that represents the interests of employees, which an employer must inform and consult with on issues affecting their organisation. Providing a works council initiates formal employee representation at workplace level to facilitate consultation and discussion of enterprise related issues between workers and management, but to what extent is a works council of value to the employee? Strengths of Works Council for employees One of the more significant strengths of a works...

...Introduction A works council is an organization which represents the employees and employers of an enterprise to talk over the working affairs and common interests. It can negotiate with the management level about the un-satisfaction and complain of the workers’ wages and their work. Works councils in different countries have different names. The most famous works council is in Germany. There is a complete system in German works councils. The member in works council is changed every four years by the common workers in the companies. EWCs were established on 22 September 1994. It is the most important event in the global industrial relations in recent years. It aims to inform and consult employees in companies at European Union level. The reason for the establishment of EWCs is partly that the transnational restructuring was brought about by the Single European Act (Markus Hertwig&Ludger Pries&Luitpold Rampeltshammer, 2011). It can communicate with the senior management of the big transnational corporation. Same information about the translational policies and measures are also told to the workers in different countries. European Works Council also provides opportunities for the representatives to discuss and develop a common response to the transnational plans. Purpose and implementation The purpose of EWCs is to promote the participation of the employees of European level in the information-sharing and consultation in multinational companies. Through the representatives...

...Modern society owes much of its origin to a great upheaval in the 18th century, the French Revolution. It was one aspect of a broader pattern of change that, since the Renaissance and Reformation, has set the West on a different path of development from that of the rest of the world. This pattern included the individualism and, in the end, the secularism, that was the Protestant legacy. It also included the rise of science, as a method and as a practice. This culminated in explosive events toward the end of the 18th century. The French Revolution ‘was a phenomenon as awful and irreversible as the first nuclear explosion, and all history has been permanently changed by it.’ The French Revolution is largely regarded as an important event in modern international history because of the way it has had international impact and continued to have international repercussions and influences on society and thought today. This essay will look at different aspects of the French Revolution and discuss how the different components of the revolution have affected the world and the impact of these at the time of the event. For the purposes of this essay the French Revolution will be defined as the insurrection in France that began in 1789 and ended in 1815 with the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. The actual dates of the revolution are widely contested but for the purposes of this essay, these dates will be used as a framework. Modern international will be assumed to mean the...

...Autonomy : Theory and Practice Keywords : Territorial Autonomy, Non-Territorial Autonomy, The Basque Autonomous Community, Spain, Right to self – determination. It might be considered that autonomy can be easily defined since there are so many autonomy models in different parts of the world. However, autonomy does not have the same functioning system in all these parts. Some of them show the same characteristics whereas the others have differences. For instance, autonomy can be for both religious-ethnic groups and indigenous people in different geographical areas. In such group-based autonomies, group members have the right to rule certain matters, e.g. cultural or family issues, whereas autonomy for indigenous people possesses local administrative authorities, locally elected legislative assembly and local independent courts ( Hannum, 1990:467-468 qutoed in Xanthaki, 2007:165) Therefore, Potier (2001:54) claims that ‘international lawyers have failed to come to an agreement on a stable workable definition for autonomy’. According to his assumption, it is impossible to define autonomy accurately since ‘it is a loose and disparate concept which contains many threads, but no single strand’2 However, although he points at the difficulty of the theory of autonomy, there have been many scholars to explain it from different perspectives. We owe great thanks to forefather scientists in particular Ruth Lapidoth, Hurst Hannum, Markku Suksi, Yash Ghai and Yoram Dinstein...

...drives in an over sized truck with an American flag at the back. Being an American is being a Patriot, loving your country men, and your country but not afraid to challenge either in the pursuit of life liberty and happiness for all. America has sense its creation been a diverse multicultural country making blanket statements about feelings and behaviors of its inhabitants impossible. However I think everyone is in some way a Patriot which I equate to being the one defining trait of an American. The simple definition of patriotism is an emotional attachment to ones country. I think this definition has more to it than meets the eye, when you consider the principles this country was built on. This country was built on hard work and determination; the hardships endured only serve to...

...Determination and Desire Emigrating from India at the age of nineteen was an adventure. At the same time, my family was aware that there would be challenges when we arrived in the United States, the new world. The different culture, education methods, and environment around us were challenging. Now, all these changes have benefited me and prepared me to face all the challenges involved with accomplishing my childhood goal of being a successful business professional. My father’s approach to his business has been my inspiration. During high school, it was my fortune to spend my spare time going with him on his business trips as a land developer in private and government sectors. His answers to my questions made business concepts concrete. I was always interested in analyzing and improving business with innovative strategies. Suddenly, immigration to the new world had changed my circumstances, but not my goal. In fact, my desire evolved into a greater goal of leading a corporation. After arriving in the United States, I worked in a Dunkin Donuts to help my family. While there, I learned how businesses operate in the new world. In Addition to that, I am forming a Commerce Group at Volunteer State Community College. This combined experience has shown me how economy works in the new world. My determination became stronger when I had an opportunity to know myself even better. As a part of psychology class, I took a personality test. The test revealed that I am a person who is...
