...the possible immediate effects of two different forms of abuse. The abuse that will be specifically looked at will be sexual and financial abuse, further extending by evaluating the potential long term effects of the two types of abuse. Abuse is a violation of a person’s civil and human rights. There are different types of abuse and they all set out to intentionally or unintentionally put a person at risk and cause harm. An individual may not disclose that the abuse is taking place due to fear, being aware of indicators that abuse may be happening to a person will help protect and put a stop to the abuse. Domestic abuse is when a person in a close relationship with another person’s acts in a way that causes physical, emotional or mental harm. Domestic abuse can include threatening behaviour or violence and it can be physical, psychological, financial, sexual or discriminatory.

...The Good Governance Standard for Public Services The Independent Commission for Good Governance in Public Services The Independent Commission for Good Governance in Public Services, chaired by Sir Alan Langlands, worked throughout 2004. Through two rounds of consultation, the Commission drew on the views of a wide range of people with experience of governance, and of service users and citizens, to produce the Good Governance Standard for Public Services. The Standard presents six principles of good governance that are common to all public service organisations and are intended to help all those with an interest in public governance to assess good governance practice. The Independent Commission for Good Governance in Public Services was established and supported by the Office for Public Management (OPM®) and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA), in partnership with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

...Case Study Analysis: Part A “Successful negotiation is an art, not a science. The three most important concerns and elements in any negotiation are the relationship, the risk and the value. These concerns are the real decision criteria that underlie any business transaction” (Di Frances, 2005, para. 2). Capital Mortgage Insurance Corporation (CMI) was acquired by Northwest Equipment Corporation in 1978 and was a wholly owned subsidiary (Lewicki, Saunders, & Barry, 2005). Northwest Equipment Corporation acquired CMI when the parent company went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company was developed to work with residential mortgage lenders in selling mortgage guaranty insurance policies throughout the United States. The following paper will briefly describe the case at hand, what role social context will play in the negotiation process, and how the social relationship that Burr, Lehman, and Kupchak will affect the negotiation. The paper will end by describing the tangible and intangible benefits, cost, and risks associated with negotiating Corporate Transfer Services (CTS). Analyzing the case of Capital Mortgage Corporation will allow a reader to define how social relationships affect negotiations, and define the benefits, costs, and risks of the negotiation process. Case Summary CMI has an interest in broadening its financial services to strengthen the company. CMI primary goal is to be the leader in the financial services industry.

...the change that is taking place within the company and give guidance through the change that is taking place. These skills that are required of a leader must be developed and learned over time. I will be analyzing two leadership strategies that have been used to successfully motivate organizational change during the past 10 years and I will be analyzing the effectiveness of each strategy and relate how effective management strategy alone may well be challenged to achieve desired change. One type of leadership is participative that is sometimes called Democratic leadership this type of leadership focus on the participation of other; I believe participative leadership is important because it involves everyone in the team. When the team is involved it demonstrations, the usefulness of others viewpoints while creating leadership opportunities; this allows others to be a part of the decision-making process. Participative leadership can be effective if there is time to allow other in the team to brainstorm and come up with ideas to help the decision-making process. Also, participative leadership can be effective if the leader his patients and willing to work with others in the team. Another form of leadership is automatic leadership that is the opposite of participative leadership. This type of leadership the leader is basically the only voice in decision making. A leader is the head and is able to make the decision without anybody else input. Then in this type of leadership no can...

...on employees and organization. One of the important workplace issues that receive less attention among organizational scholars is workplace deviant behavior. The concept of workplace deviance in recent years has generated high interest among organizational researchers and practitioners because of its pervasiveness in organizations. Some forms of workplace deviance includes absenteeism, abusing sick day privileges, abusing drugs and alcohol, filing fake accident claims, sabotaging, breaking organizations’ rules, withholding effort, stealing, taking long breaks, working slowly, harassing other employees and hiding needed resources. This paper investigates the nature of deviant workplace behaviors and its impact on organizations. The purpose is to broaden the research in organizational studies by focusing not only on deviant behaviors that are negative, but on those that are positive as well. Furthermore, this article examines different types of both positive and negative deviant workplace behaviors, along with some of the reasons why managers/employees engage in such behaviors. Also, some of the reasons why organizations allow negative deviant behaviors to thrive, while discouraging positive deviant behaviors are investigated. Lastly, possible solutions to overcome problems arising from negative deviance in the workplace will be examined, along with how organizations can encourage positive deviant behaviors. ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOR Organizational Behavior (OB) a field...

...Breaks in communication can lead to many misunderstandings and confusion on the parts of the sender and the receiver. Interpersonal relationships are important to have. “It is healthy to have friends, have co-workers and be involved with other people and have different needs met in different ways.” (Cheesebro, O’Connor, & Francisco, 2010) Interpersonal skills and relationships are important to have in the health care industry. Knowing your co-workers, patients, and superiors and how they communicate is vital in the health care industry. This will help ensure that communications between you and others are effective and fully understood. Just the same, interpersonal relationships with these people will set boundaries on what is appropriate while communicating in the workplace and what is not. The basic elements of communication are the message itself, the sender/receiver, decoding the message, encoding the message and the feedback given about the message. These are the basic elements of any type of communication. But, when communicating in a healthcare setting, a person must also consider the receivers perceptions of what the communication may mean. A communication between two or more people has no definite beginning or end. (Du Pre’, 2005) Parties enter into the communication with expectations of how the communication will take place and what will be the end result. Sensitivity is also...

...HEATHER PENNINGTON The Effects of “Work” Spouse Relationships Social and Ethical Responsibility for Managers Pennington 6/19/2012 Lots of people have a spouse or significant other that they go home to every night after work. You may share you day with your spouse or listen as they share the day with you over dinner in the evening. But you might not be the only spouse that your husband or wife has, you may have the added competition of a work spouse. A work spouse is loosely defined as that person at work who is very close to you; they would be like your best friend in high school. Your work wife/husband is who you go on smoke breaks with, the person that you generally eat lunch with and someone you confide in when you need to vent about your day. There can be several issues with having a work spouse including ruining your marriage and crossing the line to inappropriateness. There is also an upside to having a work spouse that maybe over looked in the general appearance of the relationship. The big question that has to be answered though is it cheating, are you breaking the one of the Ten Commandments by having a work spouse? Are you committing adultery? Having a work spouse can be a rewarding relationship for both people at work and the true and original spouses as long as the boundaries of the relationship are understood by all and taking seriously for the potential harm that can happen. According to Vault.com, a career information website, in...

...prior to taking this class, I was not sure about what model of helping that I favored. I was not sure of what model I preferred to use, because it was difficult for me to choose one technique, for I believed there was not just one technique that would solve every problem. For example, the theory that may work for one client with a certain situation may not help a different client with a similar situation. This made it difficult for me to choose, because I wanted to be able to use the model of helping that would be the best one for the client. While I was taking this course, I noticed that I already use Behavior Therapy on a daily basis. I prefer to use the Behavior Therapy. Behavior Therapy is changing the client’s undesired behavior with a more desirable behavior. According to Herkov (n.d.), “Behavior therapy is focused on helping an individual understand how changing their behavior can lead to changes in how they are feeling.” (para. 1). Indeed, I prefer to use the Behavior Therapy Model, because I have been already using some of major methods and techniques within the Behavior Therapy model. These major techniques, that I have been using prior to taking this course, include: positive reinforcement, token economies, and modeling. These are a few of the major techniques of Behavior Therapy that I have been using prior to taking this class. My personal view of helping is that there are different techniques for different types of people, and different types of issues...

...will explain what type of modeling should be used for developing a database that will keep track of students and the courses that they have taken. Also I will show how the client can keep track of the instructors teaching each of the courses well. Benefits of a Database Management System Good day, University of K-Town. I understand you want a database that will keep track of students and the courses that they have taken. In addition to tracking the students and courses, you also want the database to keep track of the instructors teaching each of the courses. I have just the thing that would work for you and it is call Entity-Relationship model. Entity-relationship model was developed by P.P. Chen in 1976 to facilitate database design by express the conceptual properties of the database in an enterprise schema. Eenterprise schema can contain a large number of data which become associated in the service of your database design goals, and since you do want to track a large amount data I felt like this model would be helpful for your database. The main reason you can contain a large amount of data is entity and different types of entity. Entity is an object that exists and which is distinguishable from other objects. Meaning it can be a person, a place, an object, an event, or a concept on which your organization wishes to maintain data on. Here are some examples of entities: Person: STUDENT, INSTRUCTORS, CLIENT Object: COUCH, AIRPLANE, MACHINE Place: CITY, NATIONAL...

...reduction has lead to an increase in abuse. When a family member or friend begins taking the drugs, not because they need them, but because they want to feeling, it becomes an addiction. Even though an addict is dependent on opiates, a person who is opiate-dependent is different because of the psychological, physical, and financial effects. An addict has very different psychological behaviors, than a person who is dependent. An individual with an addiction to opiates acts differently because they are in constant search of opiates. This tends to lead them to act before thinking and do irrational things. The behavior is that of a person who is desperate and willing to do anything for the opiates. On the other hand an opiate-dependent person who takes the drug as prescribed; as a result there are no desperate behaviors. Being dependent on the opiates and not abusing them makes it so this person can still behave in a normal way, as they did before. The psychological feeling of an addict is very different than that of a person who is dependent. For example an addict is most likely searching for a psychological change or high, where as a dependent is only trying to manage pain by taking the opiates. In essence the opiate-dependent person is not searching for a high or psychological change like the addict. All of the behaviors that affect an individual also impact their interpersonal relationships. Dependent people still manage their interaction with friends and family in the same...

...million prescriptions. The use of prescription opiates for people who are dependent on the drugs for pain reduction has lead to an increase in abuse. When a family member or friend begins taking the drugs, not because they need them, but because they want the feeling, it becomes an addiction. Even though an addict is dependent on opiates, a person who is opiate-dependent is different because of the psychological, physical, and financial effects. An addict has very different psychological behaviors, than a person who is dependent. Addiction is in part linked to a person’s genetic makeup. That is, one’s genetic makeup may regulate how susceptible a person is to a substance and how easily one may become psychologically attached. An individual with an addiction to opiates acts differently because they are in constant search of opiates. This tends to lead them to act before thinking and do irrational things. The behavior is that of a person who is desperate and willing to do anything for the opiates.

...Effective communication is the most important ingredient in any type of interpersonal relationship. Whether the relationship succeeds or fails depends largely on the ability of the individuals involved to create a positive communication environment. Is a positive communication environment only the result of fate bringing two soul mates together? Are certain types of personalities just not meant to interact with other certain types? I believe, for the sake of any of my future relationships, that a positive communication environment is not left up to chance, but is created by applying certain principles and strategies. A communication environment is not defined by the activities that individuals participate in while spending time together, but by the emotional tone that is set during that time. According to Adler and Rodman (2012), “A climate doesn’t involve specific activities as much as the way people feel about each other as they carry out those activities” (p. 237). It is important to realize that the emotions expressed in a relationship are a precursor for either a negative or positive outcome. Showing positive emotions, such as; love, compassion, and understanding will only produce a healthy communication environment. Whereas, acting judgmental and showing disdain or contempt will most likely speed the decline of a healthy relationship. Whether I like it or not, a communication environment will begin to develop the moment I start communicating with another person either...

...styles and personality types that each individual may have. Understanding different learning styles and personality types can aid in communication and collaboration. By knowing about learning styles and personality types, an individual can adjust communication to a form best received by the other individual. The first step in mastering these skills is to understand learning styles. According to Keys to College Studying, there are eight different learning styles or multiple intelligences. Three of these, and the three that I have heard about most often, are Verbal/Linguistic, Visual/Spatial, and Bodily/Kinesthetic. Verbal/Linguistic learners have the ability to communicate through language. Their strengths include listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Visual/Spatial learners understand spatial relationships and can perceive and create images that assist with their understanding. Bodily/kinesthetic learners have the ability to take in information through bodily sensation. These three learning styles include the people whom learn best by hearing the material, seeing the material, or learning by doing. Each learning style brings its own challenge concerning communication and collaborating with individuals who have different learning styles. I believe the most important strategy in assisting communication is to become aware of the different learning styles that are present. The next step in communication and collaborating with individuals who have different learning styles is...
