We use an adaptive conjoint analysis survey tool to discover the relative weighting of a new set of social responsibility job search criteria, including these attributes with traditional job search criteria like financial package, geographical location, etc. In addition, our results show that more than ninety percent of the MBAs in the sample were willing to forgo financial benefits in order to work...

...yTHE IMPORTANCE OF PAY IN EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION: DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN WHAT PEOPLE SAY AND WHAT THEY DO Sara L. Rynes, Barry Gerhart, and Kathleen A. Minette A majority of human resources professionals appear to believe that employees are likely to overreport the importance of pay in employee surveys. However, research suggests the opposite is actually true. We review evidence showing the discrepancies between what people say and do with respect to pay. We then discuss why pay is likely to be such an important general motivator, as well as a variety of reasons why managers might underestimate its importance. We note that pay is not equally important in all situations or to all individuals, and identify circumstances under which pay is likely to be more (or less) important to employees. We close with recommendations for implementing research findings with respect to pay and suggestions for evaluating pay systems. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. It is easy to overestimate the frequency with which adults actually go to the opera and underestimate the frequency with which they watch TV cartoons on Saturday mornings, based on their self-reports. (Nunnally & Bernstein, 1994, p. 383) Rynes, Colbert, and Brown (2002) presented the following statement to 959 members of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM): “Surveys that directly ask employees how important pay is to them are likely to overestimate pay’s true importance in actual decisions” (p. 158). If our interpretation...

...When identifying myself, I usually look at my attributes and activities I succeed in, relating to athletics and or hands on projects or activities. When thinking about something that I love to do and skilled at that best suits my vocation, is an athlete. I can consider myself closer to an athlete then somewhat other skills. Working out every day is an important part in my life because I love to stay active and fit, so when the sport seasons follow through I’m out there every day either playing soccer or another type of sport. While staying focus on being fit, eating is also an important attribute that I need to follow. These sacrifices besides playing soccer, relate me closest to the vocation of an athlete. I see myself in the present and future not involving work that would relate to be sitting in an office job, or a job that requires you to either write or study a lot, for example, mortgage broker, lawyer. Instead, I enjoy working with hands on projects that involve more skills then thinking and investigating jobs. Such as, Heating & Air this involves installing furnaces and sheet metal to heat and cool the house. It strictly focuses on more of the labour hands on idea which I enjoy because I’m used to working hard physically and have experience from working with dad. Being athletic and hands on variety type of person can explain and give a very good explanation and idea of who I strictly...

...INTRODCUTION This memorandum evaluates Pemsah and Sihathor’s farms’ performance based on their statements of operation and statements of corn flows. We will first indicate the phenomena and attributes of interest in this case. Then, we will utilize statistics from financial statements to measure who did better job regarding corn harvest. Last but not least we will make a recommendation to the Chief Scribe. PHENOMENA AND ATTRIBUTES OF INTEREST A phenomena and attribute of interest are both aspects of measurement. The phenomena is the object or event of interest and the attribute is the characteristic or quality of the object or event of interest. In this specific case there could be a few examples of the phenomena as well as attributes of interest. The first phenomena could be the actual farms of each of the nobles, Pemsah and Sihathor. The attributes of interest for both of these would be the measure of the corn flows and the net income for each farm after the first year. This is the main relationship between what we measured, the overall profitability of each farm using the Statement of Operations as well as the Statement of Corn Flows, and the phenomena and attribute of interest. After analyzing the measurements of the Statement of Corn Flows and the Statement of Operations we can determine which farm is more profitable. RECOMMANDATIONS After analysis of Pemsah’s and Sihathor’s Corn inflows and outflows as well as their respective income statements, it is clear...

...the equal jobs. Comparisons can not be made between individuals holding the same job at different companies(1). This set of laws in called the Equality Pay Act of 1963(1). There is however, no such law stating that men and women should be compensated as to the terms of the concept of comparable worth. Under comparable worth, jobs would be rated, and points would be assigned according to characteristics such as necessary knowledge and skills, mental demands, accountability, and working conditions. Jobs scoring the same would then be paid the same, regardless of the pay differentials that might prevail in the market. The evaluation procedure may appear objective, but it in fact is highly subjective. Although it makes sense for job attributes such as skills and working...

...Mate Selection Criteria for Marital Success: Is It Possible? Steve Goatley Liberty University Abstract For decades researches have been attempting to indentify some key characteristics or personal qualities that could be formulated in such a way as to predict the probability of marital success between two parties. If indeed some formula could be implemented that would take into account what characteristics and/or personal qualities must be present for two people to enter into a marital agreement with a higher than average success rate; mate selection could then be narrowed down to parties that fit each others needs and effectually increasing the chances for marital success. Unfortunately, while there have been many advances in this area of research that may help potential mates understand each others needs for marital happiness, a solid formula to identify an optimal mate is still just a idea. Mate Selection Criteria for Marital Success: Is It Possible? To properly understand the question of whether or not it is possible to define criteria that can be used for the purposes of mate selection that would ultimately lead to marital success, one must first understand the term, “marital success.” In the chapter titled Marital Adjustment, McKinney describes marriage, “Marriage in its best form in civilized life is the culmination of romantic love and courtship; it is the sublimation of the more primitive sex impulses. It...
