...THE ROLES OF COLLEGE GUIDANCE COUNSELORS IN CALABARZON: IMPLICATIONS TO GUIDANCE PROGRAM AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION M. H. A. SEMIRA Batangas State University Gov. Pablo Borbon Campus I, Rizal Avenue, Batangas City ABSTRACT The study was undertaken to identify and assess the roles of college guidance counselors in CALABARZON and its implications to the schools guidance program and school administration. According to Erford (2003), the transformative roles of school counselors were leaders, advocates, collaborators, counselors and coordinators and data utilizers. Likewise, Kuhn (2004) explained that better understanding of the roles of guidance counselors diminished some of the misconceptions and confusions of the counselors’ roles. The above-mentioned roles were reflective of the American culture that is why the present study utilized the guidance counselors’ roles presented by De Jesus (2006) which was based on Philippine context. Findings revealed that the guidance counselors highly recognized their roles as counselor, coordinator, consultant, conductor of activities, and change agent. Thus, they were contributory to the effective implementation of the guidance programs in every college or university in the region under study. INTRODUCTION The roles of school counselors have changed dramatically over time. As the 20th century began, school counselors did not exist. Instead teachers were using few minutes of their day to provide students with vocational...

...Most employees want to work for Jonathan because he regularly assigns his employees different duties each week so they don’t get bored. Most of the employees under Jonathan including Stephanie are satisfied with their jobs and the way they are treated. Dan in contrast prefers for most of his employees to work in the same area each day and insists employees have shorter lunch breaks, than the amount of time allotted in the company policy. The Path-Goal Theory of Leadership The path-goal theory of leadership defines the role of a leader as one who outlines the goals and lays down the path for the subordinate to facilitate success and completion of the goals. The leader empowers the group to reach their goals, and ensures that they share an awareness of what those goals are. The path-goal theory centers on the motivational factors of the subordinates by showing employees how their accomplishments directly affects their reception of expected rewards (Certo& Certo 345). The path-goal theory suggests that the leaders under this theory possess four styles of leadership which are directive behavior, supportive behavior, participative behavior and achievement behavior. With directive behavior the leader lets followers know what is expected of them and tells them how to perform their tasks. In supportive leadership, the leader is friendly and shows interest in the followers as fellow human beings and the leader also shows concern for the followers’ personal needs. Participative behavior...

...KING’S THEORY OF GOAL ATTAINMENT EXEMPLIFIED FROM THE INTRAPARTUM NURSE’S PERSPECTIVE By Jacqueline L. Karlin The model of nurse-patient transaction from King’s Theory of Goal Attainment was employed to explore the impact of the nurse-patient transaction as it relates to primiparous patient satisfaction with the childbirth process. In this descriptive study, intrapartum nurses were interviewed regarding their perception of primiparous patient’s childbirth experience. The interviews were reflected upon to develop a better understanding of the impact of the nurse-patient transaction on achieving patient satisfaction with coping strategies. The findings revealed that although only one-half of the patients had participated in formal childbirth classes, effective nurse-patient transactions were successful in goal attainment of satisfaction with coping strategies in labor and delivery.

...consideration when dealing with the planning process to ensure that the ultimate goals of the organization are met especially due to the dynamism in the business sector. One of the main goals of workforce planning is to a large extent assisting the managers with a framework that will help them make informed staffing decisions which are in line with the organizations budgetary resources, strategic plans, and mission. Therefore the integration of areas that are normally neglected in the business such as attraction and retention, job re-design, recruitment, separation, learning and development give meaning to the diverse areas of human resource management which are considered in isolation. Strategic Objectives The objectives of the organization are going to assist the manager to be able to link the mission or the vision of the organization with the actual outcome. After carrying out the workforce analysis, there is a need to place the targets of the organization in place. This involves setting attainable goals or objectives that will assist the manager to be able to plan ahead of time the expectations of the organization. In developing the objectives, there is a need to have a close examination of the key issues relating the workforce and that are likely to impact on the development of the organization. Some of the objectives that are going to be used as a basis in the attainment of the goals of the organization will be informed by the analysis....

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study In an increasingly global marketplace many businesses are developing an international presence. They therefore need solutions robust enough to cope with multiple government legislation, multiple currencies, multiple languages and which can offer integration, customization, multiple platform options and more. As a global business we understand these challenges and have developed Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions that meet the demands international businesses generate. At Sage we believe that to offer an exceptional customer experience we must have a complete understanding of our customers’ needs and ensure we have specific and relevant solutions to meet these in the future. Call centers began in the Philippines as plain providers of email response and managing services, these have industrial capabilities for almost all types of customer relations, ranging from travel services, technical support, education, customer care, financial services, and online business-to-customer support, online business-to-business support.

...Consumer Motivation - SUMMARY Motivation is the driving force within individuals that impels them to action. This driving force is produced by a state of uncomfortable tension, which exists as the result of an unsatisfied need. All individuals have needs, wants, and desires. The individual’s subconscious drive to reduce need-induced tensions results in behavior that he or she anticipates will satisfy needs and thus bring about a more comfortable internal state. Motivation can be either positive or negative. Innate needs—those an individual is born with—are physiological (biogenic) in nature; they include all the factors required to sustain physical life (e.g., food, water, clothing, shelter, sex, and physical safety). Acquired needs—those an individual develops after birth—are primarily psychological (psychogenic); they include love, acceptance, esteem, and self-fulfillment. All behavior is goal oriented. Goals are the sought-after results of motivated behavior. The form or direction that behavior takes—the goal that is selected—is a result of thinking processes (cognition) and previous learning (e.g., experience). There are two types of goals: generic goals and product specific goals. A generic goal is a general category of goal that may fulfill a certain need; a product-specific goal is a specifically branded or labeled product that the individual sees as a way to fulfill a need. Product-specific needs are sometimes referred to as wants. For any innate or acquired...
