...Internal and External Equity Comparison HRM 324 April 28, 2014 Internal and External Equity Comparison` When reviewing a successful companies' portfolio to determine what makes them more successful from the next, you will find the company will have a strong compensation plan. A Compensation Plan is one of the more important aspects in the organizational environment. Before formulating the compensation plan based on internal and external equity, it is important to first understand what internal and external equity refers to. External equity is said to be prevailing in the organization when the employees are rewarded with fair compensation to those who perform similar jobs in other organizations. External equity persists when an organization's pay rates are equal to the rates prevailing in the organization's market. (Lederer & Weinberg, 1995) Internal equity is present when the employees are being provided with fair wages relative to the value of their jobs within the organization. Responsibility, rewards and compensation provided to an employee should be in equity with the other person working at similar position within the organization. When formulating an effective compensation plan that is based on the internal equity, it is important to first consider the basic factors. The first step is to understand the types and varieties of jobs being performed by various employees within the organization and also the required level of skills, education...

...Leonard deems sexy, and they proceed to pursue a sexual relationship. It could also be interpreted that sexism could be a theme when sex is not available. When Kate submits a story, being defined as a “prude,” Leonard is bored before ending the first sentence, and is bored with her immediately every time following. That is, until she submits something under the guise of a transvestite Cubano gang leader. Leonard loves the story and thinks it’s the next best thing to come to literature. Kate, herself being a feminist, sees this injustice, which in turn causes more conflict. In addition to external conflict, there is also internal conflict. Kate deals with the struggle of loving Martin but not being loved in return. Martin deals with the interal conflict of Izzy and her...

Class - Blue print of Object 3. encapsulation - Protecting our data 4. polymorphism - Different behaviors at diff. instances 5. abstraction - Hidding our irrelavance data 6. inheritence - one property of object is aquring to another property of object 1. Object Basically an object is anything that is identifiable as an single material item. You can see around and find many objects like Camera, Monitor, Laptop etc. In OOP perspective, an object is nothing but an instance of a class that contains real values instead of variables 2. Class A class is a template definition of the methods and variables for a particular kind of object. In other words, class is the blue print from which an individual objects are created. every human has eye ,so eyecolor can be considered as the property of human being which can be encapsulted as a data in our class Human class Human { private: EyeColor IColor; NAME personname; }; Consider object of class of Human myhuman; we want set myhuman's name as "linto" and IColor as "black", For that we want methods to do that task.

...Change Models Lewin’s three stage application Evidence from case study Unfreeze: The cultural change program began with the management team completing an organisational culture questionnaire, developed by an international consulting company, to determine the preferred culture for the organisation. Management and employees then completed a second organisational culture questionnaire to determine the actual operating culture. Change/Transition: Selected management initiatives were implemented to bridge gap between the preferred and actual operating culture. These included: • development of an agreed set of organisational values • active encouragement of problem solving and project development through cross-functional work teams • introduction of skip-level interviews which involved employees speaking with their manager's manager on a regular basis • monthly meetings of staff from all levels with the Managing Director -all staff can volunteer to participate, with five or six randomly selected each month • review of reward and recognition systems to ensure preferred cultural behaviours are encouraged • annual 'Blue Zone days' in which preferred cultural behaviours are explored and clarified through fun and engaging activities. Blue Zone" refers to the constructive styles on the Organisational Culture Inventory (Gones et al. 2006), which defined preferred cultural attributes.

...Jennifer Walden Week 2 Sunday, 19 January Chapter 3 - Homework #2 - Compare and contrast managerial efficiency and effectiveness Managerial effectiveness focus is accomplishing the end objective and as a result takes into thought and the up-and-downs that may change in the future. Managerial efficiency is concerned with the current status. Thinking about the future and addition or eliminating any resources might concern the current state of efficiency. In other words management efficiency is trying to do the things in the right way where management effectiveness is trying to do the right things. #3 – Identify the key factors in cultural change Information – this is to provide people with information or ability to gather information. Making information available at every level increases employee motivation and permits faster decision making. Support – support and collaboration is from other departments when needed.

...society is still built on the idea of blameworthy justice. If your significant other cheats on you, your anger is justified. If you commit a crime and go to jail, justice will be served. Yet, if humans do not have true free will and are not in control over who they become, where is the justice in this anger? In the punishment? A human being without free will cannot ultimately be held responsible for his or her actions, therefore our entire view on justice and moral responsibility must change. In order to reform society’s view of justice and the institutions that enforce it, we must first educate our society about the dangers of the fundamental attribution error. The fundamental attribution error is our tendency to overestimate the impact that interal characteristics have in creating one’s actions and underestimate the impact of external characteristics. We use this error as a tool to distance ourselves from unsavory truths. It is easier for us to think that a murderer is simply a bad person, then it is for us to consider the genetic and environmental factors that led to him or her commiting this crime. It is easier because we don’t want to admit that if we had been put in a similar situation, it’s possible we could have been the murderer. In order to truly reform our criminal justice system we need to popularize and integrate the ideas of fundamental attribution error and lack of free will into our every day society. Maybe then, we can overcome this fear of our own maleability and come...

...strategies. Ethical consideration – Ethical consideration happens on four different levels: personal, economical, societal/enviromental, and technological. Throughly analyzing each level of consideration creates a much better understanding of different morals and values in our society. Ethical Theories – Can ethical theories be applied to help assist leaders to make more informed decisions towards developing eco-friendly principles? Based on the dentology theory and the four fundamental questions using Kantian ethics, we determined that establishing a eco-friendly principle could become a moral law. Ethical Decision-making process – Businesses that integreate a decision-making process revolving around eco-friendly core, will establish a interal company culture that will guide them to make the nessisary decisions to consistantly be enviromentally aware. Based on the findings in the report, we can conclude that it is possible for businesses to maintain a desirable level of profits and at the same time become a green business. Introduction Henry Ford once said, “Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.” In today’s society, small businesses along with huge corporations face the challenge of profitability for their shareholders while being economically responsible through their business strategy. Centuries ago, there were seldom any regulation or attention towards environmental awareness and protection. However, as society has witness many tragic...

...Hydrostatic vs Osmotic Pressure Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure going outward from the capillary. Hydrostatic Pressure forces the fluid from capillary to move outward into the interstitial space. Osmotic pressure is the water trying to move from interstitial space into the capillary Hydrostatic pressure will be greater in the arterial side as opposed to the venule side. Osmotic Pressure is constant throughout the capillary. Because the hydrostatic pressure drops across the capillary, at the artery side fluid is pushed into the interstitial space whereas in the venule side, fluid is pushed into the vessel. If you have high blood pressure, it can cause build up of fluid in interstitial space (due to high hydrostatic pressure) and cause edema. Also, if fluid is not taken in by lymphatic vessels, it can also cause edema. Water that is lost from fluid due to hydrostatic pressure eventually goes into lymph vessels and is put back into the vessels. Note: Capillary walls are made up of endothelial cells Sodium Potassium ATPase: Pumps 3 Na ions out and 2 K ions in. Ketone Bodies: Ketone bodies are produced when AcetylcoA exceeds krebs cycles capacity. So, when you are starving, ketone bodies are used primarily rather than glucose. Glucose is preserved for brain. Brain, heart, muscle can use ketone bodies. Liver cannot use ketone bodies. Insulin: Insulin helps glucose intake by cells normally. Unsaturated fat is easy to burn off because they produce...

...孙子曰：兵者，国之大事，死生之地，存亡之道，不可不察也。战略，公司大事，亦是死生之地，存亡之道，不可不察也。战略和人力资源管理的结合就是战略人力资源管理。当人力资源管理的决策和策略关系到了企业的生死存亡，决定了企业的运营效率的时候，人力资源管理也就上升到了一个战略的高度。战略人力资源管理的研究大约是从上世纪70年代末和80年初发展起来的。 第一篇文章主要目的是评估SHRM（战略人力资源管理）的2000年以前研究。首先其明确了基本的定义。其指出在一般的课本中很多都没注意到战略的真正含义。正如上所说，人力资源战略关系企业生死，一个好的人力资源战略强调的是“整合”企业人力资源的能力。这是“战略”的实际意义和功能解读。“战略”也是站在高的视角、洞见了企业事务的本质。这个本质就是“战略”是企业利益相关人的利益的长期的平衡。“political negotiation”成为战略管理的重要特征之一。文章提出了三个问题来明确SHRM的含义和作用：1.什么样的HRM策略对公司来说是非常重要和关键的？2.公司是依据什么来作出HRM策略的？3.如何使公司的HRM变得更加的有效率？文章通过提出了三个问题来展开对SHRM的研究评价。第一，公司的SHRM是多样性的，没有统一的范式。第二，公司的状况是千差万别的。比如有的实施多元化的战略，甚至有的各个事业之间没有多大的相关。这也就造成了人力资源管理不同。第三是国际化公司。其面临着文化的差异，这就涉及到了比较的HRM和国际化的SHRM. 文章通过大量的文献探讨了SHRM领域内两个重要的模型：`best fit' or `best practice'。 `best fit' 就是权变的、情境的理论。主要分为‘external fit’（或者叫vertical fit）和‘interal fit’（或者叫‘horizontal fit’）。对于‘external...

...5-4: In general what is a union “local”. What are the role and functions of union locals? How are they structured and governed? A local union can either be independent or it can be affiliated with and subject to the authority of a provincial, national, or international (US based) parent union. The local level is the union, while in the latter, it serves as the basic unit of the union. Union locals are typically established on the basis of geographical proximity. Locals typically represent eligible workers at a single location, though in the case of so-called amalgamated locals where two locals have joined together, they may represent workers at a number of locations within a geographical area. (Public sector locals can cover all employees in a municipal region or even a province) Role of union locals: 1. contract administration: it is generally the local that represents workers on a day-to-day basis and it is at the local level that most union members have the greatest opportunity for participation in union affairs. 2. Negotiation: members have the right to take part in local meetings and to vote on local level issues. Local unions represent their members in collective bargaining either through the actual conduct of negotiations or through some form of representation on the union bargaining committee. 3. Consultation with management: 4. Worker compensation: worker comp claims 5. local politics ( primary day-to-day role of the local unions is ensuring that the...
