David Tuff was a 24-year-old security guard at Villlage Square Mall in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The mall is managed and operated by Blue Mountain Company, which also has a security services division that trains and supplies security guards to several shopping malls in some Midwestern states. Tuff strongly opposed Blue Mountain’s new company policy to order and escort intoxicated persons (including drunk drivers) off its parking lots and onto the public roads. He feared that drunk drivers might harm innocent people and that doing so would jeopardize his license, as he was required by law to report any illegal behaviour (drunk ...

Youngsters in Canada and United States too are looking at short term and part time careers before taking up long term job options. Educators are now stressing on the need ...

Funding forms a critical aspect of public universities in terms of research and conducting learning.

They also make sure the organization meets its promises to the client (both the writer and the reader) by running an efficient organization which plays by the rules. In case ...

In 1947 The National Labor Relations Act of 1947 created the FMCS, or the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. This agency was independent and was created in part because of the labor chaos that came after WWII. Originally, it was created to help smooth labor relations, but one very important aspect of it was that it removed the role of labor mediation from the Department of Labor to itself.

Today this independent agency has the focus of preserving labor peace and also creating cooperation between labor-management relationships. They are headquartered in the nation’s capital, and have more than ...

1. Do you think Randy has sufficiently categorized his salespeople for motivational purposes? Why or why not? Is it practicable to provide non-financial incentives to motivate salespeople in each of the four career stage groups?

Categorization of salespeople always involves a trade-off between over-generalization and the practical applicability of these categories for HR strategy development. It is always possible to find additional sub-categories that reflect more precisely the peculiarities of the sales force of a firm or that capture individual needs of the employees. Thus, introducing a separate category for working mothers could help to address the needs of this group in a better way. However, extensive categorization would increase complexity of HR policies and would make it hard to develop and execute an HR strategy in an effective and cost-efficient way. Therefore, the decision of Randy Stuart ...

Reflection on Economic & Philosophical Manuscripts By Karl Marx

Marx in his essay Scientific Socialism speaks of labor as alien to the laborer. He says that he labors, but does not “affirm himself in his labor.” The labor becomes separate from both him and his life. This is the central theme of the essay and also the point of his writing. While communism, the governmental system that stemmed from Marx, may not have worked out as he envisioned, his disquietude with the capitalist controllers of production were valid. The solution others proposed from his work did not work out, as in China and Russia. But given the time ...

The culture in this office is a very relaxed one, mostly because managers and supervisors very rarely interact with their employees. This inevitably leads to a relaxed feeling of time and ...

The main goal of the multi-level study conducted by Yoshida D.T. et al. (2013) was to assess how servant leadership influences employee creativity and team innovation simultaneously.

Former researches examined how transformational leadership or leader-member relationship influenced employee creativity. As it was ...

USA Health Care System

Over the years, the health care system of many nations has evolved. The changes, some good and some bad, can be attributed to the cultural view of health care, situational factors, employee insurance coverage of health care and other economic factors. The most important factor that has changed, especially in the ever-growing US health care market, has been the spiraling costs of such care. Employers have been under greater burden of providing for the ever-rising costs of medical care and are trying to reduce such burden through covering less, covering fewer persons, passing the increases onto employees, or simply ...

Respondeat superior can be explained as the doctrine that affirms the responsibility of an employer over the employee. In particular, the doctrine states that a master is liable for torts committed by the servants in the course of their service (Pozgar, 2012).

As such, the employer remains predisposed to any negligence of its own that can be easily proved without respondeat superior doctrine being involved i.e. negligence in supervision or hiring. Correspondingly, the employee remains liable to the victim of the tort to ...
