...Motivation is the key of a successful organization to maintain the continuity of the work in a powerful manner and help organizations to survive. Motivation is finding a need inside the employees and help to achieve it in a smooth process. Motivating the staff leads to broaden their skill to meet the organizational demands. Each manager has the responsibility to work with the staff to find out their individual needs and put them side by side to the organization needs. Dissatisfaction also, might work as guidance for the manager to explore the need of the staff and start with it to motivate them and attract them to do better performance. Motivation drives the human beings to reach their goals and organization goals through every challenge and constraint they face in their workplace; considering it as an advantage to go ahead in the direction they have put for themselves. The need of achievement always results in a desire to do extra effort to have something done butter, and have the desire for success. Employee motivation has always been a central problem for leaders and managers. Unmotivated employees are likely to spend little or no effort in their jobs, avoid the workplace as much as possible, exit the organization if given the opportunity and produce low quality work. On the other hand, employees who feel motivated to work are likely to be persistent, creative and productive, turning out high quality work that they willingly undertake. There has been a lot of research done on motivation...

...they work, etc. NB: The plural s on the end of the noun/subject has nothing to do with the s on the end of the verb. Writing is instead of are (and was instead of were) or vice versa, is a serious mistake in English grammar. If you suspect that you have a tendency to make this kind of mistake, check each clause and look for the subject and its associated verb. Remember that the subject is not always the noun closest to the verb. E.g. The concentration (singular subject) of Cs in 27 samples was (singular verb) determined. Note: samples is not the subject! You may be forgiven in some cases. It isn't always clear whether the subject is singular or plural. Here are a few examples of tricky singulars and plurals. * * * * * * * A number of (i.e. several) measurements have been made. The number (singular) of units has been reported to be 50. It appears that 30 g (plural) are required daily. In some areas 60% (%=singular) of the workforce is unemployed. The most part (singular) of the compounds is inactive. A total (singular) of 32 measurements has been made. The majority (i.e. most) of the tests were performed in Lund. * Kinetics, dynamics, politics and other words ending in -ics and meaning "the study of..." usually take a singular verb. E.g. Acoustics is the study of the behaviour of sound. In other cases, they take a plural verb. E.g. The acoustics in this hall are terrible.

...Education and Women’s Empowerment in Bangladesh Nashid Kamal *and K.M Zunaid** *Professor and Head, Department of Population-Environment Independent University, Bangladesh **Graduate student, Sydney 1 Abstract: In Bangladesh the latest BDHS, 2004 finds that only twenty percent women work for cash. Among them only 48 percent are able to spend their money on their own, the rest are dependant upon spouses or other family members to take joint decisions on spending. Defining this variable as a measure of empowerment, this analysis investigates correlates of empowerment using logistic regression analysis. The model finds that marital status is the most significant predictor of empowerment in Bangladesh. Unmarried women are six times more likely to be empowered. Secondary education is another major determinant of empowerment, along with the woman’s mobility and decision making scores. The paper recommends strengthening women’s secondary education in Bangladesh and also taking measures to encourage late marriage for women. 2 INTRODUCTION The participation of women in the labour market in Bangladesh has increased in the recent years. One of the major areas where women have found employment has been the garment sector. This industry employs around 10 million persons directly or indirectly, of which ninety percent are women workers. In the 1993-94 BDHS the percentage of women who reported cash income was only 14.4 percent. After the garment industries were set up in Bangladesh...

...These social issues included poverty; gender socialization and the type of family the individual belonged to, which by in large are the causes of male underachievement. The consequences of male underperformance, however, only included intermittent aggression towards peers and small fights among classmates with only one anomaly which was a stabbing incident. None of these incidents had any serious repercussions. In an attempt to find a solution to male underachievement, it is suggested by the results that male teachers as role models are needed to enhance young males’ academic performance since there are very few male teachers and very few boys look up to the male teachers currently present. It was also found that counselling and encouragement to study will most likely be effective in dealing with the male underachievement...
