Organizations should design the best codes of conduct in order to outline their roles towards the welfare of different stakeholders. The codes of conduct should be founded on the firms’ cultural values and ethical approaches. The merger between PALEDENIM and UWEAR brings together employees who have diverse organizational behaviors. A powerful code of conduct should be designed to guide these employees with diverse cultural values. The management teams in each of the two firms will be informed about the new code of conduct using brochures, notice boards, e-mails, and trainings (Gilman, 2005). Direct communication will also inform the teams about the targeted organizational goals. The purpose of a code of conduct is to ensure all the employees and stakeholders embrace the most desirable actions. Employees use the presented code of ethics to make decisions and support the welfare of different clients. The code of conduct is a powerful managerial tool that can support the missions and visions of the targeted organization (Strahovnik & Juhant, 2014). Companies should have a written code of conduct. The approach will ensure the workers can read it and acquaint themselves with the best practices. The written code of conduct can be availed to different stakeholders and new employees (Strahovnik & Juhant, 2014). The written document will become a useful reference that encourages the employees to focus on the best practices. The written code of ethics will clarify the values and missions of the targeted firm. Several issues should be considered whenever drafting a code of conduct. The first thing to consider is the question of health and safety. The code should outline the best practices towards improving the safety of different workers and stakeholders. The core values and principles embraced by the firm should be considered throughout the process. The organizational goals should be aligned with the code of conduct. The issue of ethics is critical whenever drafting a code of conduct. The document should focus on the business’ integrity and strategy. Management commitment is critical during the process (Gilman, 2005). The code of conduct should indicate how the firm commits itself towards promoting its goals and social responsibilities. Human rights and labor issues should be included in the document. After creating the most appropriate code of conduct, the next stage is disseminating and implementing it. During this process, the company should create a powerful communication strategy to deliver the message to the right people. The manager can communicate the guidelines and policies indicated on the code to all members of staff. Training programmes should be used to ensure the workers have a clear understanding of the code (Editorial Board, 2015). The managers should encourage their followers to support the code and make it part of the organization’s philosophy. Notice boards, emails, brochures, and employee handbooks are useful avenues for implementing the code of conduct. Emplo
Introduction Racism is a destructive form of discrimination. This is because is devalues other people’s identity and denies them their right to exercise power. It destroys the unity within a community and leads to social divisions. It violates the democratic right of equality and the fair treatment of all people. One has to understand the nature and form of racism that exist if he has to succeed in countering it. It is a world wide phenomenon that has been experienced in many countries and it mainly results from economic, political, and social factors. Racism takes diverse forms that vary depending on its contexts. Racism is therefore an end product of the disparities that exist in society, their attitudes and other cultural practices. It can be observed from how individuals express their actions and its form changes with changes in the society. Racism is a vice that is eating up many communities globally and it is a restriction to international growth and development. In Australia, racism has been persistent for a long period of time and the commission of human rights seems to be doing very little in countering the problem. Racism emerges when a certain group of people perceive themselves to be superior to others because they originate from a particular ethnic group, race, or nationality. This is not a scientific concept and should therefore be addressed socially. Racism is based on differences that are quite evident in values, customs, color, religion, perception about the world, and how people live. It also extends to the use of language where a certain group of people have negative attitudes towards the language used by others. It is normally expressed in different ways, for instance, racial discrimination and stereotyping about a certain culture which may extend to xenophobia. The “superior” group of people perceives their culture, way of life, color, and language to be over and above others and expect the inferior group to emulate them if they are to be accepted in the society. This group fails to understand that, the world is composed of different groups of people with different customs, values, originality, and general way of life which they hold dear and are not willing to let go. It is through these differences that we get diversity in cultures which are important aspects even in trade. This paper looks at some of the behaviors portrayed by racists, gives an in-depth analysis of raci
The creation of earth and man has remained a mystery that has enabled religious commentators and scientists to put forward spirited theories to explain their existence. However, critics too have come up with facts challenging the reports by denouncing their authenticity. The existence of man and earth though can be traced to a deity with supernatural powers who out of his love, decided to create them. It is only this idea that has had supportive documents in the form of holy books such as the Koran, the Bible, and the Jews’ scrolls, etc that dates back to several years. Consequently, this paper offers proposed knowledge on life and the relationship between God and man. Existence of man is thus a well calculated art of invention that was carried out by God himself; hence man is a child of God. This would lead to the next perplexity which examines God’s possible identity. God is the father of man and created the earth so that man could find a home to live in thus God is supreme and holy. Man has power over the earthly gifts since mankind is an image of God. It is this special privilege that prompted God to provide and enforce his commandments in form of laws to govern every generation of man. Moses of the Old Testament was entrusted with the laws on Mount Sinai where rules and regulations guiding the human race were spelt out. Any opposition to these laws was therefore seen to be sinful. The origin of sin can trace back to the beginning of life when God’s first creation sinned against him after an encounter with Satan who duped them. Satan is the mastermind of sin and also the author of all evil on earth. It is believed that Satan was once an angel in heaven which is the throne of God, but was ejected for challenging God’s authority. Since Satan had nowhere to go to, he decided to come to earth and swore to make as many people as possible become rebellious to God as a way of seeking revenge. Due to this demonic intention, Satan has been seen to be behind every tribulation that has dogged man in the entire generation. God too has countered this wretched mission of Satan, by promising those who live righteously, for a better life through reincarnation and eternal life according to the Islam and Christian beliefs respectively. Those who shall have not changed by advocating for evil will perish according to the Muslim faithful or death by fire popular to t
Introduction Besides its use in the analysis of designs that have one independent variable (IV), factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) can also be used to analyze designs that involve many independent variable (IV) using factorial designs. This statistical test gives unbiased estimates of the effects and interaction among design variables (Jackson, 2012). The effects in experimental variables are determined by estimating the variability at different levels that is not caused by the independent variables themselves. In this context, the independent variables are known as factors. In social sciences, factorial designs are usually preferred because they have more benefits compared to single variable designs. They give specific information regarding the interaction among variables as well as their combined effect on the dependent variable (DV). The proposed study, using a concrete example, examines the specific factorial design issues and describes the unique information provided by the factorial design. The example in the proposed research involves the efficacy of an antimalarial drug, XYZ, on students. Literature shows that a highly potent drug, unlike a drug with low efficacy, is given in small concentrations to evoke a response. Highly potent drugs also seem to have fewer side effects in at-risk groups. However, it is often difficult to interpret literature regarding the inherent dosage-efficacy relationships. Thus, the research question for the proposed research will be: What are the efficacy levels of different dosages (100mg, 150mg and 200mg) of antimalarial drug XYZ on high school and university students? Factorial ANOVA applies to this research question because it incorporates three (more than two independent) variables and one dependent variable. In this study, the dependent variable will be the drug efficacy levels, which will be based on the study participant’s parasitemia. The three independent variables will incl
Nowadays, people have to live with stress every day due to all that chaos happening around and the inability to cope with a number of social things and concerns observed every day. Being involved in numerous activities and the necessity to meet expectations and perform duties, people cherish a dream to have at least one day without stress. Stress seems to follow us everywhere and every minute, so that it is not always possible for people to find the time and think of the ways to beat stress and live quietly with no more negative vibes. According to the American Psychological Association, about 63% of people experience stress because of the necessity to think of the “future of our nation,” 62% of people are bothered with money, and 61% of Americans are challenged by work issues (1). Scholle claims that “the over-activation of our stress hormones has been linked to high blood pressure, heart attacks, lower immunity, depression, anxiety, and more.” So obviously, stress is not the issue to be ignored nowadays. People must understand that stress is dangerous for them, and it is not enough to avoid it. It is necessary to be ready to fight stress and all possible stressors. In this essay, I will talk about why people and students, in particular, experience stress, how to beat stress and improve the quality of life, and what the benefits of having a relaxing life with no stress are. Millions of stressors are around us, including
Introduction Many countries pursue the concept of equally in an attempt to empower all people and make it easier for them to achieve their aims. Within the past century, the United States has been associated with numerous developments and challenges that have affected the lifestyles and experiences of the greatest number of citizens, such as oppression, discrimination, and abuse. African Americans and other minority groups have been impacted the most by these malpractices. Feminism stands out in the book The Color Purple as a meaningful theme in this book since the pains and challenges young women go through and their strategies to get rid of them are aimed at promoting the social equality, economic gains, and political positions of all sexes or gender groups. The purpose of this research paper is to discuss the importance and meaning of feminism in the selected book. Feminism in the Book The Color Purple The book The Color Purple by Alice Walker gives a detailed analysis of the challenges and predicaments many women of color had to experience throughout the first half of the 20th century in the southern regions of the United States. This kind of portrayal is intended to give a true picture of the issues affecting the progress of many communities in the southern United States. The author uses different characters to describe hardships and abuses many women face from those who are close to them. The example of Celie reveals how different women are abused, raped, and even forced to be married at a tender age. Some fathers in the selected society are seen to torture and even give birth to children with their daughters (Walker 37). These malpractices are disheartening and make it impossible for the affected individuals in the society to realize their potential. Those in marriages are left without say or freedom of expression. Those who try to oppose the existing social norms find it hard to achieve the intended goals. This becomes a reality that many women have to experience or accept. Despite such portrayals or occurrences, the author manages to present specific examples of how some of the women devise ingenious ways to free themselves and be in a position to overcome the experienced pains. For instance, some of them decide to oppose tier husbands and prevent them from becoming too domineering, such as Sofia. Others go a step further to form positive relationships in an attempt to share their experiences and devise new ways of overcoming their unique challenges. The end result is that they encourage and make it possible for more people to continue engaging on this debate on feminism (Daum 17). These descriptions reveal that such a theme is an outstanding subject that supports the development of the selected text. Meaning and Importance The author has set her novel in a society that is characterized by stereotypical and dismissive males. These individual use their prestigious positions or gender roles to oppress women. She focuses on this situation to describe how women are willing to establish positive friendships with each other. This practice becomes a powerful opportunity for sharing their experiences, problems, and stories. It also supports
Abstract This paper explores the dynamics of a Nurse Manager with regard to their staff. It examines the role of a Nurse Manager. Gullatte (2008) suggests that the Nurse Manager is a leader who is in charge of a specific number of subordinate staff members. It also discusses Richmond, Book, Hicks, Pimpinella and Jenner’s (2009) research in relation to the responsibilities of a Nurse Manager. These scholars suggest that the role of the staff is determined by the Nurse Manager. This paper examines Gullatte (2008) and Lee’s (2009) research in relation to seven other research articles to suggest that Nurse Managers must have an interactive relationship with their staff. A Nurse Manager is member of the medical fraternity. Nurse Managers are the people who supervise the subordinate members of the medical community. They are expected to mobilize their staff so that the hospital runs effectively (Gullatte, 2008). They are therefore responsible for the actions of their staff. Nurse Managers are nurses who have worked in the field of medicine for an unspecified number of years (Aday, 2001). They are licensed nurses who have been part of the medical fraternity for several years. They are in charge of organizing health services (Gullatte, 2008). They ensure that their staff meets the expectations of the patients (Heitman and George, 2010). They also evaluate their fellow nurses. They monitor the progress of their trainees (Lee, 2009). Lee (2009) asserts that Nurse Managers are the driving force behind any medical institution. They educate residents and welcome trainees. They also ensure that doctors are not overwhelmed during their rounds at the hospital. Nurse Managers are in charge of hospital personnel. They are able to make suggestions concerning the promotion of a member of staff. Their staff is governed by the hospital’s budget. Once the staff is selected, the Nurse Manager ensures that the group is cohesive (Liebler and McConnell, 2007). A Nurse Manager must practice professional integrity (Renz and Herman, 2010). Favoritism is deemed as unethical. In a hospital, there is very little room for marginal error (Bowie and Green, 2005). Incompetent decisions may have dire consequences. Aday (2001) states that Nurse Managers are expected to facilitate efficiency within the hospital. They have vast experience in the field of medicine. They may not outrank doctors, but their contribution to medicine is equally important (Heitman and George, 2010). Nurse Managers are expected to have a post-graduate degree (Aday, 2001). This ensures that their leve
Introduction The Belt and Road initiative (BRI) proposed by China is a program developed to connection Asia, Africa, and Europe with the help of maritime networking as well as six corridors. These connections are indented to improve the integration between regions, increase trade, as well as facilitate economic growth. The name of the initiative is a reference to the Silk Road that was established two thousand years ago during the Han Dynasty to facilitate trade relations between China and the Mediterranean via Eurasia. Despite the seemingly progressive message of the Belt and Road, concerns have been raised as to whether China was planning an expansive project that would reconfigure the way in which the global economy is being managed. In the current environment, The United States are leading the economic world order, which is characterized by multilateralism and multi-stakeholderism. Comparing the intentions of the world order led by China and the United States is imperative for understanding the Belt and Road initiative and the attempts of China in pursuing the goal. Advantages & Disadvantages BRI intends to include the Silk Road Economic Belt, which is a trans-continental passage that connects Chine with the Southeast Asia, South and Central Asia, and Europe by Land. It also includes a 21st century Maritime Silk Route, which connects the coastal regions with the Southeast and South Asia, the South Pacific, as well as the Middle East and Eastern Africa in order to reach Europe. The key priorities of the initiative include the coordination of policies, the interconnectivity of infrastructures, efficient trade, financial integration, as well as the connection between populations. While the West is currently involved in the contemporary order, the Belt and Road process intends to pave a path to an alternative world that is associated with new universal values. As mentioned by Bruno Maçães in his book Belt and Road: A Chinese World Order, BRI builds upon the earlier successes of China that can facilitate the establishment of the new world order (11). For example, value chains are at the center of the strategy and have been key for helping the country reintegrated into the global market under the liberal platforms established by Den Xiaoping. Unfortunately, the growth trajectory of value chains has been driven by widespread unskilled labor, which has limited capacity to drive growth in the modern global worldwide economy. The recent developments in the political sphere points to the fact that the United States is unique in its influence on the shaping of interactions between countries. The country is a maritime power, with its physical geography being both an asset and a liability. However, recent news reports have mentioned that the world order under the USA’s rule is coming to an end due to the threat from the US-China war as well as the potential of a disruptive
Regardless of the size of an entity or the type of business an organization is involved in, it is very important for any organization to have the required tools to measure the progress and efficiency of its employees, in terms of their work output. Managing employees’ performance should be one of the main duties of an organization’s human resource department, as employees are the primary determinant of an organization’s level of success. Failure to have proper tools to gauge employees’ performance may not only jeopardize the ability of an organization to meet its primary goals, but also, it may make it hard for an organization to meet its clients’ demands. Therefore, from time to time it is important for an organization to evaluate its employees’ level and quality of work output, as this is one of the primary ways of ensuring that an organization aligns its primary goals and developmental plans with its employee’s level of skill proficiency and talents, while appreciating its employees’ efforts. To achieve this, most organizations normally use two primary strategies namely performance management and performance appraisal ensure that their organizations are running smoothly. Although these are two related tools of measuring employees’ level of work performance, they differ in many ways, for example, in their methodical approaches (U.S. Department of the Interior, 1995, pp. 4-5). Differences between Performance Management and Performance Appraisal Performance management is a process of identifying and measuring the work output of employees using performance data to ensure that an organization attains its set targets daily. An effective performance management program should help an organization to improve its level of performance, identify the requirements to achieve any set goals, and provide the required feedbacks to help an organization to formulate and implement the required measures that will promote its employee’s welfare. Most organization’s performance management systems are structured in such a way that they will help to clarify an organization’s primary goals, assist in the management of different workers, and organize the required training and programs to meet the ever-changing demands of an organization. Further, performance management primarily focuses on specific elements within an entity, for example, the general output level of an organization and the phases involved in an organizations production process (Hawkes, 1998, pp. 1-4). Contrary to this, performance appraisal is a routine process of assessing employees’ level of performance annually. It is normally done by managers, and its primary goal is to ascertain the work performance in terms of output and quality on an annual basis. As a result of these, performance appraisal is a part of an organization’s performance management system that is normally done on an annual basis (Lingham, 2007, p.1). Another factor that differentiated performance appraisal from a performance management system is the nature of the supervisor
