...Green computing 1 Green computing Green computing, green IT or ICT Sustainability, refers to environmentally sustainable computing or IT. In the article Harnessing Green IT: Principles and Practices, San Murugesan defines the field of green computing as "the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems—such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems — efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment."[1] The goals of green computing are similar to green chemistry; reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, and promote the recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. Many corporate IT department have Green Computing initiatives to reduce the environmental impacts of their IT operations.[2] Research continues into key areas such as making the use of computers as energy-efficient as possible, and designing algorithms and systems for efficiency-related computer technologies. Origins In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launched Energy Star, a voluntary labeling program that is designed to promote and recognize energy-efficiency in monitors, climate control equipment, and other technologies. This resulted in the widespread adoption of sleep mode among consumer electronics. Concurrently, the Swedish organization TCO Development launched the TCO...

...Fair Trade- Benefits and criticisms Important to note that the fair trade economy is diverse ranging from agricultural products to handicrafts from all over the world. Benefits and costs vary by product, historical context of market, geography, etc. It is also important to note that fair trade occupies only a small sliver of the global trade. Some Benefits of Fair Trade: At its core, fairtrade guarantees a decent price for producers by requiring traders to pay a premium, which is passed on to the consumer. This premium insulates the poorest of farmers from fluctuations in the market, disasters, and other extreme events Small-scale Farmers and Workers: The Fairtrade system benefits approximately 1 million workers and farmers in 60 developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Including their dependents, five million people are affected. Fairtrade certification allows them to achieve economic independence and empowerment while improving their standards of living. Beyond being paid a fair price for their produce, Fairtrade Premiums enable producers to better their communities by providing: • Improved access to low or no-interest loans • Technical assistance for building infrastructure to improve production • Communications systems, and collectively-owned transport and processing equipment • Better health care and education • Technical training and skill diversification for cooperative members and their families A recent...

Study 5: Using mgt students, the convergent and Discriminant validity scales were assessed. Issues with previous research on impression mgt (I.M) by Rao, Schmidt, and Murray (1995) 1) research focuses on just a few I.M strategies 2) an overuse of lab studies using student samples 3) there is a shortage of empirical assessments of developed I.M framework The need for this scale, according to the authors was that "no widely accepted measure of impression management behaviors" existed. Previous approach to measuring I.M= 1) "observing and recording participants' impression management behaviors in an experimental context or under naturally occurring conditions." The issue is getting into orgs to watch Behavior of I.M 2) "the use of one of the impression management scales developed by Wayne and Ferris (1990) or Kumar and Beyerlein (1991)" Historical I.M scales I.

Mokgolo1 Patricia Mokgolo2 Mike Modiba3 Affiliations: 1 Department of Human Resources Management, University of South Africa, South Africa Learning and Development Unit, Tromso Management Consultants CC, Boyne, South Africa 2 Orientation: The implementation of transformational leadership in public services after national elections has been well recorded in other parts of the world. However, this is not the case in South Africa. Research purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine whether transformational leadership has a beneficial relationship with subordinate leadership acceptance, job performance and job satisfaction. Motivation for the study: Leadership is a critical issue that the public sector needs to address in order to survive and succeed in today’s unstable environment. According to Groenewald and Ashfield (2008), transformational leadership could reduce the effects of uncertainty and change that comes with new leaders and help employees to achieve their objectives. Research design, approach and method: The sample comprised 1050 full-time employees in the public sector based in head offices. The measuring instruments included the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), the Leadership Acceptance Scale (LAS), the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and the Job Performance Survey (JPS). Main findings: Transformational...
