Key Words: (Quality of supervision, Participation, Motivation, Public sector). Introduction Motivation is a force that drives people to do things. Employees are normally motivated to achieve their needs, whatever they may include. Motivation may be intrinsic or extrinsic. This is what we call motivation. Employees of a company will be motivated if they associate certain incentives with an activity of work. It been seen in India that the employees in the public sector organisations are not motivated as much as in the private sector. There are so many factors responsible for this state of nature. In this research the focus is that what are the factors responsible for motivation and its impacts on the organisation goals.

...STATEMENT OF PURPOSE For I know the plans I have for u declares the lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give u hope and a future. I taught this is one of the plan that god has made for me. Electronics has always been an orphic subject for me. Electronics in its applications and technology was always an unanswered question for me. As I grew older the questions were answered but at the same time many new questions with more complexity started haunting me. This search for the answers aroused a passion towards Electronics and started exploring the developments and applications in electronics but that did not quench my thirst for knowledge. Then I could understand only a graduate education can offer me a great deal of intellectual and personal satisfaction and challenge. This is the main reason to plan my masters in Europe. The first two years of under graduate education was based on fundamentals of all engineering subjects. The next two years was a detailed study of electronics and communication subjects. Though all the subjects were different in their theories, all the subjects were interlinked in a few aspects. In these four years of graduate education, I gained in-depth understanding of the various techniques involved in problem solving, mainly to cater to the services of the industries. But all the years of my under graduation was totally based on theories and I didn’t encounter any platform for the application of those theories. I have always believed that...

...and the doctoral program? The differences between my master’s degree program and the doctoral program are in the whole of me. There has been a complete change in my reasons for pursuing another advanced degree: I now audit and acknowledge my motivational factors and professional values that drive my pursuit for lifelong learning and academic success, and my spiritual wellness is now evident and a reliable resource for good health. When I reflect on and realty-check my master’s degree journey, my motivations were about becoming gainfully employed and achieving a new credential. My values were about establishing my career and acquiring the benefits thereof. I was young, ambitious, and ready to change the world. Then, life happened. Life’s experience unlocked the door and invited me to be open to all possibilities; to take complete ownership of my journey; to cultivate a spiritual relationship with a higher order; and to know that divine intervention exceeds intelligence and is simply necessary. The key difference is the seasoning of my life. The seasoning that hones you and places you at a new crossroad to reach higher, to dig deeper, and to know that your contribution to intellectual discourse, to research, and to best practice is about being open to criticism, sharing yourself with the world, and adding to the richness thereof.

The opportunity to study in your department members would provide me with the opportunity to gain further insight in a subfield of the discipline in which I am very passionate. In addition, the opportunity to study with these individuals would certainly set me on tract to a successful career in publishing in this particular subfield. Thus my purpose and objective obtaining a PhD is to enter a rigorous academic program that will prepare me for a successful career in teaching and conducting independent research that will contribute to the discipline.

We at IITB tend to write long SOPs (1.5 to 2 pages) whereas IITM guys (who get better schools!)Usually write 0.75 page (max. 1 page). Basically, their SOPs are much more direct and to-the-point than ours. [5] REMEMBER THAT A SOP *MUST* BE ORIGINAL. Statement of Purpose I am applying to Stanford University for admission to the Ph.D. program in Computer Science. I am interested in Theoretical Computer Science, particularly in the Design and Analysis of Approximation Algorithms, Combinatory and Complexity Theory. My interest in Mathematics goes back to the time I was at school. This interest has only grown through my years in school and high school, as I have learnt more and more about the subject. Having represented India at the International Mathematical Olympiads on two occasions, I have been exposed to elements of Discrete Mathematics, particularly Combinatory and Graph Theory, outside the regular school curriculum at an early stage. The intensive training programs we were put through for the Olympiads have given me a lot of confidence in dealing with abstract mathematical problems. My exposure to Computer Science began after I entered the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay. The excellent facilities,...

...Reflective Essay The project I am submitting to the Hannon Library Undergraduate Research award was originally an assignment in Dr. Hawley Almstedt’s Advanced Nutrition course. Students were asked to compose a paper on any topic of their choice relevant to the field of nutrition using research from at least ten sources, half of which were required to be from peer-reviewed journals. I was first inspired to write my paper on amylin after hearing about the hormone and its exciting potential in a newspaper article. I already had an interest in endocrinology because of other classes, so this was intriguing to me. I didn’t know much about amylin so I had to do preliminary research to see if amylin was a viable subject for a semester-long research paper. I discovered a plethora of material in every science, health and biochemical chemical journal imaginable. In short, plenty of material was available. To fit criteria of the class assignment, I had to alter my thesis to better address how amylin affects nutrition and its importance to those who study and work in the field. The primary tool for my research was Hannon Library’s online databases. I found that the Medline and Pubmed databases returned the most and best quality results. Sometimes, I would search one of these databases and a PDF version was available for free directly from the database. However, in many instances only the abstract was available on Pubmed. On these occasions I employed one of Hannon’s best...

...What is your understanding of Information Literacy? How useful is it to an individual, especially a student? I was given the task to formulate an essay which comprises of my understanding of Information Literacy. I will include a definition so that my audience is fully aware of what I’m speaking about and can relate what I have documented in this essay. I am a first year student at the International University of the Caribbean studying Psychology, now in my second semester and one of my compulsory courses is Information Literacy. My first impression of this course was that it was going to be a “walk-over” but as Mrs B. Anderson engages us in her creative lectures I quickly realized that it was much more than I initially thought. Information Literacy is the capability to distinguish what information is needed, appreciate how the information is prearranged, ascertain the best sources of information for a given need (the need to complete an assignment), locate those sources, evaluate the sources critically, and share that information with other individuals through various mediums. Another source, The American Library Association (1991) states that Information Literacy is “the ability to find, evaluate and use information effectively”. Information Literacy came out of the need of wanting information. In September 1991 to March of 1992, The National Forum on Information Literacy came together, established and circulated the importance of information. We all use information...

...I arrived in the United States in 1994 from China. My mother and I decided to immigrate in order to give me a better education and opportunities that I otherwise would not have gotten back in China. Because my mother wanted the best possible education for me, she was very adamant that I go to a good school that will give me various opportunities to better myself as a person and allow me to pursue a degree that would lead to a satisfactory career. As a result, choosing a college was somewhat difficult. I had to choose something that was nearby and affordable, while also offering the degree I wanted and opportunities I needed. Naturally, my choice was MIT, and given the proximity to my house as well as the affordability and the great curriculum, I chose MIT easily. Fortunately, for me I made the right choice, as the professors are very courteous and friendly, and the curriculum is not too difficult. When not going to school I usually spend time at the gym, playing various sports, or relaxing at home with my cat. One of the things I had to leave behind aside from my friends and family when we moved was my pet birds. As a result, my house felt empty and a few years after moving here, we got a cat. His name is Bobby, and although he is sometimes annoying, he brings a very positive energy to my household. The number of things going through my mind on the first day of college were uncountable. I was very worried and scared at the same time. I was afraid my professors were going to...
