...EVALUATING WORK 1. JOB EVALUATION Job Evaluation is the process of systematically determining the relative worth of jobs to create a job structure for the organization. The evaluation is based on a combination of job content, skills required, value to the organization, organizational culture, and the external market. This potential to blend organizational forces and external market forces is both a strength and a challenge of job evaluation. 2. TYPES OF JOB EVALUATION JOB BASED Job-based employee performance evaluations focus on the duties of the position and the tasks required to perform them successfully. This is a standard type of evaluation you can use for all employees filling the same position. First you must perform a job analysis, separating all duties into large categories, such as essential functions and communication. Under the categories of the position, specify tasks required to fulfill them. Be thorough in your analysis and ask your manager or the human resources department to review it. This will be the performance plan for the position. Each employee will receive the plan, sign it and be reviewed formally at the end of the rating period based on the duties outlined. PERSON BASED A person-based evaluation is specific to each individual employee. It takes into consideration the knowledge, skills and abilities the employee possesses upon hire and learns in the course of the rating period. In this way, an employee is compensated fairly for...

Its no longer sufficient one because of it generating very low points. Three factors that Hay evaluates the jobs on are presented in: Know how (technical knowledge, breadth, human relations, etc..) Problem solving ( environmental thinking, challenge thinking, etc...) Accountability (freedom, and impact of type and magnitude) Working conditions (human relations, work load, environment, etc..) Mercer Other evaluation approach that was widely used in the 1970s that came up with enhanced factors, one of these was the risk factor that is no longer applied because that nowadays firms are obeying international standards for risk and safety. Three factors that Mercer evaluates the jobs on are presented in: Expertise (knowledge, experience, breadth, interpersonal traits, etc..) Judgement (job environment, reasoning, etc..)

...Essay zu Walter Benjamin „Das Kunstwerk im Zeitalter seiner technischen Reproduzierbarkeit“ mit Bezügen zu Friedrich Kittler „Grammophon Film Typewriter“ Kunstwerke sind jeher reproduzierbar gewesen. Was jedoch erst mühevoll von geübter Hand geschaffen werden musste, dann durch Verfahren wie Druck- oder Gusstechniken erleichtert wurde, erledigen Maschinen schließlich mühelos. Doch die Reproduktion durch technische Hilfsmittel bleibt nicht die bloße Möglichkeit, Plagiate anzufertigen, die Techniken werden selbst zu eigenständigen Verfahrensweisen der Kunst. Neue Medien, wie Fotografie und Film entwickeln eine eigene Bildsprache, die in den altbewährten Maßstäben der Kunst nicht länger angemessen beurteilt werden kann. Wo zu Zeiten der manuellen Reproduktionstechniken das Original seine Autorität gegenüber der Kopie bewahrte, als das „Echte“ von ihr zu unterscheiden war, spielt im Zeitalter der technischen Reproduzierbarkeit der Begriff des Originals keine Rolle mehr. Es ist weder möglich, noch sinnvoll, einem von zwei Abzügen desselben Negativs den Status des Originals zuzusprechen; ganz im Gegenteil: es ist Teil der Kulturtechnik Film, wie Fotografie das Einzelne unverändert und ununterscheidbar zu vervielfältigen. Darüber hinaus erlaubt die technische Reproduktion, die Betrachtung auf ein Kunstwerk durch ein neues Medium, einen neuen, anderen, geschärften Blick auf das Objekt; Zeitlupe, Detailaufnahme, Panorama lenken die Aufmerksamkeit in völlig neue Richtungen.

...Various forms of art emerged in the twentieth and twenty first centuries, many of which represented new ideas and attempted to be regarded as different to and better than what was before. These art movements rejected the traditional customs, beliefs, and practices of the art that came before it, cleaning the slate in order to begin again. Many artistic movements undertook this challenge to reinvent the arts, often attempting to reject societal, political, or cultural values, although these values often conflict. The movements of Dada, Punk, and Futurism exhibit similarities in their rejection of past traditions, though they differ in the ways that they express their rejection and their ideals. These similarities can be seen through examples of Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain, exerts from “Futurist Manifesto and Futurist Painting: Technical Manifesto”, and the Sex Pistols’ “Anarchy in the U.K.”. The first movement in discussion which is typified by the rejection of tradition is Dadaism. Emerging in reaction to World War I, Dada was an anti-art movement which rejected the social, political, and cultural values of the capitalist society, instead, choosing to express “nonsense, irrationality, and anti-bourgeois protests” through their art. Dadaist artists embraced elements of “art, music, poetry, theatre, dance, and politics” in order to express their dissatisfaction with violence, war, and nationalism (Surfeitt, 2011). Dada was a movement known for being more of a “state of mind rather...

...At this day and change of time in a globally subjective, socially varied, and technologically progressing world, contemporary artists stretch their boundaries. By this means artists voice their opinions and views through art, to the wide-ranging and fast moving social backdrop of individualities, morals and politics. A good amount of portion of contemporary art today is more likely to definite a specific thought or emotion than a distinct scene or description. Whereas, this again involves the view to anticipate it, and discover their personal importance within the art, and within among themselves. There are many successful and popular contemporary artists among the world right now, where they tend to produce thousands of art pieces for many years now. Some of those artists might do it for boredom, some for business and some for earning some extra cash. According to British contemporary artist (Amin, T. 2017) she mentioned that “Being an artist is about making art, not about making money” and she also stated that artists make the same work again and again repeatedly and frequently. (Amin, T. 2017) “they sell it, they make it, they sell it, they make another version, they sell it”. This British artist has definitely taken an aim at male artists who put several forms of their work for the sake of cash. However, its still a bit unclear whether the artist stated all these accusations at some unidentified contemporaries, because all this accusation are thrown without a specific name...

...for the depiction of their subjective studies. Tough the notion that art should realistically depict the world, some artists experimented with the expressive use of color, non-conventional materials, and new strategies and mediums. such a become photography, whose invention within the 1830s added a new technique for depicting and reinterpreting the arena. The Museum of modern- day art collects paintings made after 1880, when the ecosystem was ripe for avant-garde artists to take their work in new, surprising, and “modern” instructions. With time, modern art became an innovative and even surprising reconsideration or rejection of lifestyle. As with whatever that encompasses lots of different minds, there have been relatively differing approaches to the motion, however for the most part, modern art was a rejection of the old canon, or the vintage standards with the aid of which value turned into measured. A number of the key ideas explored with the aid of Modernism: • "exceptional" may be subjective. • Beauty is truth, so even ugliness can, in a sense, also be splendor. • There is a fixed truth with an ultimate reality, and it's far knowable. • Artists are speculated to "cast off" their burden of ancient expertise to champion development. • Trade and development are more important than continuity. • Individuality, and originality of notion are the ultimate aim. • "shape" is a universal language that could talk perfectly, no matter the context or the mind of the viewer.

...heryl Bardoe and Charlene Brusso each wrote an article on the interesting qualities and traits of fungi, a curious organism that’s everywhere, most of the time unseen by the human eye. Bardoe discussed how fungi is formed, found, and what it does in her text entitled, “Looking at Mushrooms”, and Brusso talked about the different purposes of the strange object in her text, “Talented Fungi”. So which author best portrayed the many different characteristics, so to speak, of fungi? Brusso did. Charlene Brusso explained what we can do with the common organism very well. Her subtitles included, “Eat Them”, “Cure Sickness”, “Make Stuff”, and “Clean Up Pollution”. It’s very obvious by looking at them that the information Brusso provided is very useful...

...Evaluating Art Casandra Concepcion AIU Online Art Appreciation Professor Kimberly Musial April 29, 2012 Abstract Defining art is up to the interpretation of the writer and of the reader. Art in itself is also left up to interpretation, of the artist and of those viewing the work of art. There are many varieties of art, and all still have their own abilities to be changed and redesigned based on the artist. Viewing examples of art definitions along with review of several art varieties show the versatility that is the world of art. Evaluating Art In order to properly evaluate and understand art, one must start by understanding the definition of art. As different people see all works of art differently, so is the definition. That said, finding two definitions of art that makes sense to the writer would then allow further exploration of the eight types of art: painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, printmaking, conceptual art, installation art, and performance art. Appling the definitions to these eight types of art will allow for an evaluation of art in its many forms. Art Defined According to Adajian, Plato defined art as “representational, or mimetic (sometimes translated as “imitative” (Traditional Definitions, para. 2). This implies that Plato believed all art was a representation of reality. This leads one to believe, that any work of art they are seeing was based on an object that once existed. This definition is considered a traditional definition...

...The momentous Western developments of the early nineteenth century were industrialization, urbanization, and increased economic and political interaction worldwide-matured quickly during the latter half of the century. The industrial Revolution in England spread throughout Europe and to the United States. Because of this dramatic expansion, the third quarter of the nineteenth century is often referred to as the second Industrial Revolution. While the first Industrial Revolution centered on textiles, steam, and iron, the second was associated with steel, electricity, chemicals and oil. The discoveries in these fields were the foundation for the development in plastics, machinery, building construction, and auto motive manufacturing. These finding help paved the way for later development in the invention of the radio, electric light bulb, telephone, and electric streetcar- still seen in modern day California. The most significant invent during industrialization was urbanization. Western cities grew dramatically during the later part of the nineteenth century; mainly do to migration from rural regions. The widely available work opportunities in the cities, especially in the factories, were also a major factor in this migration. An increasing emphasis on science was another characteristic of this period. Advances in the industrial technology reinforced the enlightenment’s footing on rationalism. The connection to science and progress advancing seemed obvious to many, both...

...reading experience. When discussing the postmodern literature, Calvino’s novel of 1979 “If on a winter's night a traveler” definitely is a work that is worth to be examined within this context. While ascribing the features of the postmodern fiction to a specified work at times can prove to be an undertaking that is both controversial and challenging in nature. This novel has proven to be both fascinating and also to be innovative work of the fiction which is postmodern. “If on a winter's night a traveler” authored by Italo Calvino, is a postmodern novel since it deviates from the obvious objectivity provided by the omniscient external narration normally found in nearly all traditional books(Calvino & William, pp.13-18). All through chapter two, Calvino employs second person viewpoint, where he narrates of the readers of the novel, are the key characters in his plot. The author constantly employs the pronoun “you” in making the reader to feel more engaged in what is happening and points out directly the relationship between the author, the text, and the readers. Self-reflectivity also is found in nearly all postmodern novels are well-known to possess. Calvino’s novel portrays numerous remarkable literary devices that use “key characteristics’’ postmodern fiction as illustrated in the parameters summarized by Tim Woods in Beginning postmodernism which was his publication (Woods, pp.65-66). This essay will try illuminating some of the postmodern characteristics which are present in...
