The series also follows the interpersonal conflicts among the cast. One reviewer referencing these conflicts described the show as a version of Antiques Roadshow "hijacked by American Chopper's" Teutul family.[7] TV Guide has offered a similar description, calling the show "one part Antiques Roadshow, a pinch of LA Ink and a dash of COPS".[8] Numerous local experts in a variety of fields also regularly appear to appraise the items being sold or pawned, two of whom having gone on to their own spinoff programs. Antique restorer/metal artist Rick Dale is the star of the series' first spin-off American Restoration, which premiered in October 2010,[9][10][11] and mechanic/auto restoration expert Danny "The Count" Koker stars in the third spinoff, Counting Cars, which debuted August 13, 2012.[12][13] Cameo appearances have been made by Bob Dylan, Jeremy...

...Case 1: long hours, hundreds of emals and no sleep: does this sound like a satisfying job? Q1: Do you think that only certain individuals are attracted to these types of jobs, or is it the characteristics of the jobs themselves that are satisfying? Answer: These types of jobs are considered difficult, stressful and time consuming and make an employee very busy all the time that he even scarifies his personal life and activities. Few people who prefer their professional life over personal or are very workaholic like to do such types of jobs. Usually such people are conscious of titles and high status and enjoy taking such challenges in work places. Q2: What characteristics of these jobs might contribute to increased levels of job satisfaction? Answer: High profile people like to be dominant and control the situation rather being controlled by the situation and always remain in high energy. Job satisfaction can be achieved by being independent, remain positive, being significant, challenge oriented, skilled and being responsible. From the given case study it is analyzed that: John bishop development scope, pay and being independent Irene independency, serious and inspiring characteristics Tiny kruz high profile, high salary and travels to exotic site David clark travelling experience, promoting channel and big salary Q3: Given that the four individuals discussed above tend to be satisfied with their jobs, how might this satisfaction relate to their job performance...

...paid, to be an ambassador of goodwill for the rotary club,” she says. “I thought that sounded exciting, so I applied and got the award, and studied for a year at the University of Queensland in Australia.” She came home after that year with all the typical stories of hitchhiking to other areas of the country and traveling across boarders aboard boats and planes to see the world, but also with a burning question. Why had she been one of only three students with wheelchairs at the entire university? “The other two wheelchair riders were Australian students,” she says today. “I asked myself the question—where are the other people with disabilities, and why aren’t more people with disabilities able to have this type of study experience?” Her time in Australia, she says, was life-changing. “In between semesters, a friend and I got to hitchhike through New Zealand for six weeks,” she says. “We took overland buses to Malaysia and Thailand and Bali. I thought it was quite an amazing experience.” That was for more than one reason, she says. “When I was traveling around, especially through Malaysia, I got to meet various people with...

Both were written by students as part of a graduate course in Human-Computer Interaction and hence it should be noted are only hypothetical websites (see the end of the case study for the assignmenti ). The first was written by Heather Collins when she was a graduate student at Indiana University. She used primarily the sensory and compositional threads of the framework, leading to insights on how fundraising organizations can maximize their website to tell a compelling story to a potential donor that is balanced in content and emotion. Her design combines elements of storytelling, appropriate emotional triggers, and a welcoming atmosphere to encourage potential donors to act by making a donation, volunteering their time, telling their friends, or attending a related event. Through this process, the donor can create a meaningful connection to a cause or problem directly impacting their community. The personal connection makes the online donation experience pleasurable for the user. The second was written by Aaron Loehrlein when he was also a graduate student at Indiana University. He used all the threads to think about designing a website for a pleasurable experience for clothes shopping among men who ordinarily hate clothes shopping.

...Pygmalion effect in the management of industrial, sales, and military organizations is summarized. A model is presented in which leadership is hypothesized to be the key mediator through which manager expectations influence motivation, effort, and performance. The subordinate self-efficacy, performance expectations, behaviors that comprise the Pygmalion Leadership Style are described. Besides creating the one-onone Pygmalion effect, additional ways for managers to assert their leadership by creating productive organizationwide SFP are suggested. An agenda for research on SFP applications is proposed. Expectations play an important role in determining leadership effectiveness. Scholars and practitioners have assumed for a long time that leaders who expect more get more (e.g., Likert, 1961, 1967; McGregor, 1960). Despite this general awareness, until recently there was little empirical research illuminating how and why leader expectation effects operate, and how they can be profitably utilized in practice. In parallel, work motivation theorists have long postulated the central role of self-expectations in motivating the exertion of effort in job performance and in determining the level of productivity achieved (Atkinson, 1957; Atkinson & Feather, 1966; Atkinson & Raynor, 1974; McClelland, Atkinson, Clark, & Lowell, 1953; Rotter,...
