The role of emotions has been of great interest to business administrators who try to make employees more motivated and committed to organizational goals. This paper will be aimed at discussing the differences between felt and displayed emotions. Moreover, it is necessary to examine their impact on workers’ well-being. Overall, it is possible to say the ability to express felt emotions is important for every worker. A person, who has to suppress or conceal them, is more likely to feel dissatisfied with the quality of ones life or work. Moreover, the task of managers is to maker sure that employees can see the positive aspects of their experiences in the workplace. This is how they can improve emotional wellbeing of their subordinates. Overall, this term emotion can be defined as a short-term mental state that can be caused by any external or internal event (Fink 2009, p. 3). This mental state is based on cognitive assessment of any particular situation. Moreover, emotions are normally accompanied by certain verbal and behavioral responses, for instance, excitement, sadness, interest, or anger. By understanding the emotions of workers, managers can better understand their needs, goals, or problems. First, it should be noted that employees have to be skilled in managing their emotions in the workplace. They are not supposed to display those feelings or emotions that can be associated with negative experiences. (Pugh, Groth & Hennig-Thurau 2011, p. 377). Such situation is very widespread in service organizations employees have attach much importance to their behavior or physical appearance (Pugh, Groth & Hennig-Thurau 2011, p. 377). The felt emotions can be shaped by everyday experiences of the employees, their relations with others, their job satisfaction, the degree of empowerment, compensation, and so forth (Bono et al 2007 p. 1357). Cognitive appraisal of the situation can give rise to a specific response, for instance, pride, enthusiasm, pleasure, boredom, and so forth. Positive emotions enhance the sense of wellbeing and increase an employee’s satisfaction with his/her work (Staw, Sutton, & Pelled 1994, p. 52). Apart, from that they lead to such outcomes as greater motivation, willingness to take part in the teamwork, and better productivity (Staw, Sutton, & Pelled 1994, p. 52). In contrast, negative emotions often result in absenteeism, low productivity, rudeness, or lack of commitment to organizational goals. They are associated with depression, lack of motivation, or even aggression. The thing is that emotions can be accompanied by self-reflection when a person tries to determine the cause of a particular sensation. In particular, he/she can pay attention to those things as family relations, compensation, the nature of wor
Introduction In the Canadian healthcare system, the federal government has a big role to play as far as service delivery is concerned. The federal government is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that quality services are offered to the populace. For instance, it controls policy formulation and implementation. In 2006, Doctors for Medicare organization was launched to ensure that resources are distributed equally. This was meant to ensure that there is equitable access to health care. The federal government supports the organization. The federal government together with Doctors for Medicare organization is firmly committed to healthcare policy that is based on substantiation and efficient service. The main aim of the government is to ensure that healthcare system is improved in the country. The federal government’s involvement in the healthcare is based on the idea that the sector would encounter reforms in case it is tackled from the public system perspective. In this regard, all patients would have access to healthcare, as opposed to leaving the sector to private investors who would want to satisfy their selfish interests 1 . The federal government has a vision that is beneficial to all stakeholders in the sector. For instance, it has a vision of ensuring that patients access high quality, sustainable and equitable services in the healthcare sector 2 . The However, the involvement of the federal government in healthcare sector has raised a number of concerns. Many people are opposed to the idea because it affects free flow of capital. Liberalists would argue that the government should not be involved in the economy because it interferes with individual fulfillment. The government should simply provide mechanisms through which individuals would achieve their potentials. This article analyzes some of the disadvantages of government involvement in the healthcare sector. The argument of the paper is based on classical liberalism. Arguments against Federal Involvement in the Healthcare In 2004, the healthcare agreements signed by the federal government with various stakeholders were perceived as a landmark in the social development of Canada. However, the accords have achieved little as far as the welfare of Canadians is concerned. In other words, the government has achieved little because the healthcare system still favors the rich and the well to do in society. Even though some supporters of the accord argue that the wait times have reduced, there has been no progress as far as pharmaceutical strategy of reducing costs is concerned. Moreover, the new system is susceptible to fraud and misappropriation of public resources. In other words, there is a weak accountability mechanism. For in
Introduction Safety is an extremely significant element for every human being. In every activity undertaken, safety measures come first. Most key installation areas for the public provide safe and healthy environment for the members of the public. The Safety Management Systems have the mandate to reduce and eliminate hazards (Kohli, 2007). An airport is one of the places that safety is a main concern. Safety management system examines all the operations at the airport. Airports are vital resources for most nations in the world. They analyze the safety measures put in place in all sectors of the airport (Alexander and Rodrigues, 2004). Safety Policy The safety management systems are responsible for changing the culture of safety in an organization. Safety policies put in place improves strategies, and management systems (Broderick, 2007). They also ensure that the airport performs at international standards. The policies handle risk management. It minimizes risks associated with technical breakdown, human error and organizational failure (Airport Policy, 2005). In addition, skilled and trained personnel implement these policies. The safety policies indicate the integration of safety principles in the organization structure. It is compulsory that all safety policies be communicated to all staff working in the airport (Safety management system, 2010). This staff includes; police, vendors, taxi operators, airline operators among others. The policy implies that safety management systems should be implemented in the airport (Kohli, 2007). It also calls for commitment for all level of management to ensure that the safety management systems will be implemented. The policy also entails that the executives in the organization structure to monitor the safety performance in the airport. It is the mandate of all employees in the airport to report any potential safety issue. They should do so without any fear or reprisal (Airport Policy, 2005). Moreover, clear standards should be set in order to control the behavior of all individuals in the airport. Necessary resources should also be provided to ensure that there are no short comings when handling safety issues (Alexander and Rodrigues, 2004). Safety accountability should be upheld at all time. The subordinate staffs are accountable to their immediate supervisor for all th
As research studies and social theories show, there is a great correlation between family life, the environment and the causes of various types and degrees of antisocial and deviant behavior, especially among adolescents. In this paper, I will discuss the effect of family life, particularly the effects of stress within the family on formation of these forms of behaviors, which have become increasingly relevant to the study of antisocial behavior. The purpose of this report is to bring into light one of the most argued social issues; that is, the effects of family life and stress on delinquency among adolescent in today’s societies. Firstly, the study will focus on what causes delinquency in children and adolescents in relation to families and parenting, beginning with an external factor that may influence children. The method of research I will primarily use will be observational investigations of adolescents with one parent and adolescents with two parents. I will also use many of my own experiences and knowledge to compose several ideas as relates to this critical topic. On the other hand, through seeking support from research findings and external scholarly sources, I will discuss the general effects of parental upbringing practices on growth patterns of children, regardless of whether these children will involve themselves in deviant behaviors of not. Adolescence one of the important phases of human development, because as research studies show, majority of the experiences that children undergo during adolescence greatly influence their later life, as children’s levels of interaction with parents and peers increase during stage. Although adolescents value very much their peers, the family is their central unit of support financially, emotionally, and socially hence, the effects of familial practices on adolescents’ behaviors (Berber, 1992, pp. 69-70). Parental supportive behaviors play a crucial role in determining how children will socialize themselves into the world, as most children will tend to copy their parents behaviors. In addition to coping, depending on the level of support and attention children receive from their parents, in terms of meeting their needs, most children who lack the required support tend to seek other ways of satisfying their needs. Hence, unless such children receive the required parental or guardian guidance, likelihoods of such children engaging themselves in antisocial behaviors are high. Different parents express their control over children in various ways, for example, some parents believe in dialogue as a mechanism of solving their children’s problems. Such a case is contrary in parents who be
Worth and Purpose Unemployment rates keep growing by the day and render the country and unemployed individuals into tricky economic conditions. Unemployment benefits are one of the most important social programs provided by the government. It is temporal in nature and provides financial benefits to tax payers but have no jobs. The importance of unemployment benefits lie in its fulfillment of a genuine need for those who lose their sources of income to prevent them from getting into deep financial crises. With the surety of unemployment benefits, people evade getting into circumstantial crisis because of their jobless situations. This makes unemployment insurance a worthy program for the country, especially in periods when there is a steep economic downturn and many people lose their jobs often (Beranek & Kamerschen, 2011). It is a beneficial; program, which requires adequate consideration for its budgeting. The job market is very stringent of employment opportunities and several people risk losing their jobs each day. Because of such loss of stable incomes, the lifeline for support during such times is the unemployment benefits. It is the only hope for most people looking for means of earning, as they must survive within the weak economy with or without jobs. Program Data Unemployment insurance is for those who worked in the past and are seeking future employment. This situation leads unemployed workers to accept jobs that are unfit for their skills or inadequate for exploitation of their skills. Unemployment is responsible for increased conditions of underemployment and the fear for losing jobs is a possible cause for psychological anxiety. There can also be cases of depression, stress and loss of confidence. This is a crucial period of time since it makes the unemployed people to lose social skills and social contacts and at the same time, leaving the economy insufficiently utilized because of operation below its frontier of production possibilities (Ludwick & Mandel, 2011) The data for the unemployment benefits program systematically works in coordination with state and local governments for the collection of information from government practitioners. The department of labor is in charge of provision of unemployment weekly claims report issued each Thursday. It presents seasonal adjustment for the unemployment benefits estimation for initial claims of the preceding week in the United States. The timeliness of these statistics is essential for the gauging of the labor market health and in extension, the performance in of the economy in general. The office of the unemployment benefits issues an assessment of the unemployment benefits in relation to budgetary status (Russo, 2012). The analysis of the data provides for the selection of unemployment benefits eligibility for the accessibility of the government program. Through stringent selection processes, chances for workers having high probability
Introduction In this article, Hess reviews the formation of oceans. From the article it is vivid that the coming into being of oceans is subject to discussion since the previous knowledge is doubtful, and the existing framework is confusing. Interesting theories about this subject have been many, but none of them deals with the matter conclusively. Ideally this paper, will present background of the article, provide a summary of the article, and finally clarify concerns that Hess could have dealt with to farther strengthen his argument. Background Building on the premise that radioactive dissolutions could precisely predict how old a solar structure is, the earth is approximately 4.5 aeons (Hess 1). It is assumed that the earth was born through collection of meteorites which originally comprised of solar composition. Prior to condensing into a concrete system the Earth disintegrated due to effect of evaporation and lost more matter than it currently holds. Also, undetermined quantity of denser particles was disseminated to solar system as well. This is marked by the absence of the atmospheric gases. Hess proposed that the dissemination of carbon and nitrogen, and possibly an extensive part of initial silica substances. He in addition highlights that the absence of high quantities of some volatile masses in the solar system shows that these substances did not have sufficient outer-core temperature. Hess argues that volatile substances held within the interior of solar systems have previously and are presently penetrating into the earth, and that through this the current atmosphere and ocean have developed (Hess 2). Article Summary The low temperatures more or less prevented emission of high quantities of substances following the condensation of the earth. Hess proposes that this emission happened when the substances making the earth became greatly scattered in order that the emission speed from the earth’s outer region was reasonably minimal. From the article, it vivid that the process of condensing these substances occurred swiftly, and certain less dense particles and unstable elements fell back into the condensed concrete mass of the earth. It is argued that the single cell theory changed gravitational force into thermal force. The thermal heat and possibly much higher quantity of heat originating from the thermal heat engaged in the condensation process were insufficient to form a molten earth. The suggested single cell theory led to the bi-lateral unevenness of the earth apparent in the oceans. Discussion Hess provided a great wealth of knowledge regarding the origin of oceans. This is an indication that
This paper is about personal values and how they contribute to one’s mission in life. A person’s values are simply the ideas or views that determine how they live. In other words, this refers to the general expression of what comes out as important to an individual, and what they have chosen to uphold. Due to the significant roles which they tend to play in our lives, personal values are often said to be a reference point for what can be considered to be morally or ethically straight for us. As we grow up, we tend to observe and draw other people’s values until we reach an age where we can make reasonable choices about the kind of values that we may consider worthy and ones that we need to uphold in our lives. In this paper, I have talked about my mission in life and the area where I would like to contribute most. Here, I have discussed my values and my goals that align with those values. Moreover, I also explain in the paper the nature of my perfect organizational culture and the reason why I like it that way. My mission is to always integrate effective managerial and leadership skills to make value visible in key organizational systems. In that regard, my main area of interest, where I will like to contribute most is none other but organizational leadership and management. I would like to serve in a competitive business environment from either the private sector or the public sector, where I will be able to execute my values appropriately. My goals in business would include, but will not be limited to, unveiling ways of minimizing costs while maximizing profits, motivating other employees to focus on a positive outcome, growing the operations of my organization, improving efficiency, creating challenges for competitors, improving management-staff relationships through teamwork, and unveiling attractive brand. Based on my mission, I would apply all the necessary tactics to ensure that all my desired end-point goals, as highlighted above are eventually realized. Many types of personal values define us in life, and these include charity values, inherited values, values linked to relationships, and workplace environment values. As it would be observed, the list of personal values is endless, and this means that different people in the world have different types of personal values that they tend to implement into their lives (Roccas et al., 2002). I hold a wide range of personal values, which include trusting other people’s capabilities, maximizing the use of available resources, competence, co-operation and teamwork, continuous improvement, effective communication, commitment to work, accountability, discipline, and empowerment, among others. I would prefer working in a developing organization or department, that apart from just supporting my values will provide room for further advancement of my leadership skills. Unlike advanced organizations, growing businesses are likely to face many challenges before they flourish, and t
Introduction It is evident that modern business firms operate in an increasingly complex and competitive environment. Many companies are dealing in the production of either similar products or services or close substitutes. Therefore, business leadership has become one of the most admired qualities in doing business. Modern business leaders are called upon to be more proactive and more entrepreneurial so that that they can be able to drive the business companies that they are leading to success. Success here refers to leading the company to make profits and attain a strong competitive edge over other companies. There are many Chief Executive Officers leading several companies in the world today. However, all of these CEOs cannot be termed as having the quality of entrepreneurship (Clark, 2009). According to Fletcher, 2002, entrepreneurial Chief Executive officers are those who are able to seek and build opportunities for the company using well informed business strategies. In the context of business leadership and management, an entrepreneur can be defines as a person who is able to lead the business to mold a business from scratch to greater heights. The entrepreneur develops unique qualities that steers the business through different business environment situation and ensures that the business attains success. An entrepreneur is the main defender of the business and the source of all the growth and success of the business. In other words, the success of the company lies on the shoulders of the entrepreneurial chief executive officer (Shaw, n. d).This paper is thus is going to discuss Richard Branson as one of the entrepreneurial chief executive officers in the world. The paper will discuss the personal and business qualities that define Branson as an entrepreneurial Chief Executive Officer. These qualities will be contextualized in order to clearly link Branson to the growth and business success of the Virgin Group. It is going to be argued in this essay that as an entrepreneurial CEO, Branson has become a main pillar of the Virgin Group. Therefore, without Branson, the company can hardly maintain the levels of achievement it has attained today. Brief history of Branson and entrepreneurship Grant, 2005 ascertains that Branson began showing his entrepreneurial qualities in the year 1967 when he quitted schools to launch a magazine. By then, he was only 16 years old. He believed in himself and in the idea that his magazine was going to help young activists in raising their voice. As is with many businesses, the magazine business had a lot of challenges. The business was not fetching money as had been expected. However, as a young entrepreneur, Branson did not give up in business. He quickly resorted to the business of selling records via the mail. He sold the records at highly discounted prices. He integrated the magazine business with the record selling business by running advertisements of the mail orders. Therefore, the magazine business was enhanced in that the adverts on the record mails
