The ultimate decision of paying the college athletes lies in the court of the NCAA, National Collegiate Athletic Association, which happens to be a billion dollar sports industry running in the country. Operating as a non-profit in the nation, it is not difficult for the Association to scrape funds and provide them to deserving athletes who play at an amateur level but many of them reach this destination after strenuous hard work and dedication. It must be realized that it is not easy for all students because to many of them, sports does not come naturally (Thelin, 2016). They ...

Whether there in any previous employers to which I would consider returning

No, there is no any previous company to which I would consider returning. I made this decision due to several reasons. The former employers failed to offer me opportunities of growth limiting my chances of achieving professional goals. Although I was exposed to learning opportunities, my duties were very limited. Also, the employers did not offer me the opportunity to work on my personal projects. Second, workload discourages me from returning to previous employers. In the previous two companies, I was unable to cope with the work pressure. The management usually set unrealistic targets, which resulted in stress. Additionally, ...

Caucasian and African women are segregated by the differences in their salary and education. With the persistence of racial-based wage and education gaps in modern society, the status and role of colored women, specifically those from the African descent, remain discriminated due to the prevalence of indissoluble racial and gender stereotypes. Although the philosophy of racial and gender equality has, in essence, created “equal education opportunities” for all females, the provision of racial equity has yet to be fully realized. In reality, however, the education and economic gap between Caucasian and African women evinces that the school and professional ...

Economists tend to relate to the subject of research with scientific objectivity (Mankiw, 2015). They develop theories, accumulate evidence and then analyse them in an attempt to prove or disprove the theoretical concepts. The main tools of the economist (and other scientists) are theory and observation, but, in contrast to the natural sciences, in economics it is almost impossible to set up an experiment to confirm or deny a new concept. In order to somehow compensate for the absence of the possibility of carrying out laboratory experiments, economists are paying close attention to natural experiments offered by life. An ...

Introduction

Compensation and benefit system is a division of the human resource management that is aimed at making policies concerning workers’ benefits.

‘Lowell Mills’ referred to collectively, is a reference to the series of mills and factories which were built in the city of Lowell. These factories and mills were unique for the time in that they combined the two separate disciplines of spinning and weaving under the same roof, rather than having them in separate buildings, which was a feature which helped to boost the mass production of cloth. By the time of the 1830s, it was estimated that roughly three-quarters of the work force in the Lowell factories were women. These combination mills came to be known as the ...

People are the most important asset in an organization. It is for this reason that the human resources department in a corporate entity is assigned with a number of responsibilities pertaining to the workforce of the business. Among many of these responsibilities, the determination of the compensation for the employees is the most important duty of this department. In its simplest interpretation, compensation can defined as the sum of financial and non financial pay given to a worker from his company in exchange for the services provided by the former. Compensation, thus, involves a monetary value of the pay ...

Business Plan Development

The expanded role for nurses as recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report has enabled the nurses to pursue independent practice and therefore practice o the full extent of their knowledge and education. Most of the states have in recent times reviewed their respective scope of practice for nurses to reflect these new roles for nurses at least to help reduce the burden that has been previously placed on physicians and nurses (Kraus, & DuBois, 2016). The urge to own independent practice settings has been growing within the profession but nurses have had a challenge in ensuring the long ...

One of the crucial objectives for the health care staff in Kenya is to improve the medical conditions in the rural area. The thing is that, compared to the developed countries, the number of rural health care workers in Kenya is extremely low. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of workers in the rural areas. The indicator for this objective is the exact number of doctors and nurses, working with 10 000 rural citizens. In Australia, this number is 29, while in Kenya – only 1 (World Health Organization 91). Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number ...

Q. 1. A. To calculate nominal, real, and GDP deflator, the following equations were used. Nominal (NGDP = Quantity (year) X Price (year), while real GDP) can be expressed as (RGDP = Nominal / Deflator), and GDP deflator can be expressed as (GDPD = Nominal / Real GDP X 100%). Therefore; (See Table 1.) B. For multiple items, calculating CPI requires a weighed average of the commodity price. In this sense, the prices of listed items were calculated as (Average = Bread price +TV Sets + etc. / 5) for each year. After which, the CPI was calculated using the equation (CPI of Multi ...

Introduction

Migration is a situation where people move from one place to another for varied reasons. It can occur from a region to another, from one country to the next or even from one continent to the next. In International Migration, people move from one country to another or others. The movement can be an individual, a family, clan, and other groups with a common interest. The reason for this displacement can be wage driven, capital, risks, or labor demand. Many theories explain the reasons why people migrate; in this paper, we will discuss two of them; neoclassical economic theory ...

Part 2 I agree with Akers & Chingos (2014) that, “increases in lifetime incomes of college-educated Americans have more than kept pace with increase in debt loads.” According to their research, the average household with student debt has experienced an increase in annual income of $7400 while total debt increased by only eighteen thousand dollars. The statistics show that income of educated Americans has been increasing at a faster rate than the increase in student debt and the increased annual income can pay the additional debt within two to three years (Akers & Chingos, 2014). The increase in borrower’s income ...

Interpreting Laws and Court Decisions

Introduction Laws are continuously changing and are always put in a language difficult for the common citizen to understand. The average working American is mostly unable to understand the legal language and terms. This makes the interpretation of laws and, even court decisions, a difficult undertaking. Labor laws in the US provide a necessary legal relationship among the workers’ labor unions, workers themselves, and the employers. The laws also form a basis on which the labor cases are determined in courts. The interpretation of both the court decisions and laws, therefore, remains significant to both the workers and their ...

Healthcare organizations face a big problem now when it comes to nurse staffing and scheduling. There appears a big scarcity problem in the number of nurses when assigned per patient. Researches done during the past decades have established the importance of having enough nursing staff or registered nurse staffing as they play a huge role in achieving positive patient outcomes, safety, and satisfaction. This means an adequate nurse to patient ratio promotes reduction in patient mortality, enhances outcomes, and improves nurse satisfaction when it comes to their work. For instance, one study pointed out that for every patient assigned ...

Background

The Multifibre Agreement was developed in 1974 and governed the world’s textile sector until 2004 when it was phased-out. The accord inflicted quotas on the amount developing countries could export to the developed world. It was meant to help the developed countries adjust to existing absolute advantage that the developing countries have in the textile industry. The existence of the agreement allowed the Bangladesh textile industry to flourish in the 20th century and early 21st century. It was highly expected that the phase-out of the MFA would greatly affect Bangladesh negatively as the country was highly dependent on ...

The modern day business environment has numerous dynamics that present organizations with both opportunities and challenges. To this end, Babbie (2013) provides that managers are always striving to understand the business environment to track any changes and trends to develop and implement the appropriate responses where necessary. In this regard, social research has become an essential business practice as it helps organizations to keep track of the market environment. Shipman (2014) advises that it is essential for business managers to utilize the appropriate social research methods to ensure that they get an accurate view of changes and trends in ...

Abstract

Emergency Planning as a Profession In this paper, I will bring forward arguments that emergency planning and emergency management are progressively being recognized as a profession in most parts of the world. Emergencies are usually linked to natural disasters or events caused by humans. In these cases, a need arises to mobilize the population for humanitarian action or self-defense against natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, fires, or human conflict, such as military attack or terrorist threat. The importance of emergency planning is also reflected in the International Humanitarian Law, for instance, in the Geneva Conventions on Protecting the Vulnerable ...

Data Exercise

Part 1 As the table above shows, the Nominal GDP is always higher than real GDP (Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2016, Table 1.1.5). The difference is attributed to the inflation that is accounted by real GDP. Thus, in other words, real GDP is a nominal GDP adjusted for the inflation. This adjustment is measured by GDP deflator that reflects the price change in the current year comparing to the base or previous year. The percentage change of the nominal GDP in the last quarter analyzed compared to the previous period was 1.2 %, while the percentage change of the nominal ...

Effectiveness of Carbon Tax as Environment Policy

Climate change has emerged as a global challenge because unrestrained rising of global temperature would cause melting of glaciers and rise of sea level that would submerge land masses, change weather patterns with frequent incidence of hurricanes and floods and droughts. As an effective response to the challenge, global leaders have agreed to cut back emission of Green House Gases (GTG) to contain the global rise in temperature below 2 degree Celsius (Symon, 2013). Carbon dioxide, a major constituent of GTG, is released to the atmosphere on combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and ...

The Impact of the Theory of the Consumer Choice on Demand Curves, Higher Wages and Higher Interest Rates

The theory of consumer behavior shows how the choice is affected by the price of goods, income and preferences, and the way buyers maximize their net gains from the purchase of goods and services. The price change of a good affects the consumer demand structure in two ways. Any change in the price results in the appearance of the income and substitution effects, as it changes the amount of available goods and their relative prices. The above effects are consumer reaction to changes in relative prices and real income (Mankiw, 2014). The substitution effect is the change in the ...

Ranking is the simplest approach whereby the administer compares different tasks to one another to assess their worthiness to the firm. Classification involves a system that evaluates and defines the authority, duties, tasks, and responsibilities of the job holder. Factor comparison, on the other hand, is a scientific technique that ranks ...

Trade unions, as well as industrial actions, can be dated back to the industrial revolution in the eighteenth century. Notably, labor unions are organizations that have been set up by workers in particular professions to enable them to achieve common goals. Several issues are usually addressed by the groups, including protection of the rights of the workers, improving working conditions for the workers, increasing the remuneration and benefits of the employees, and enhancing welfare among many other issues (Heckscher & Carré, 2006). In other words, trade unions exist for the sake of the workers. Members use the unions to discuss ...

Importance of Confidence intervals

The confidence interval is a set or range of values that a population parameter is likely to fall within (Graham, 2008). It is calculated using the sample statistics and a given confidence level. For instance, a confidence interval of the mean calculated using the sample statistics, gives the lowest and highest possible value of the population mean. The population mean is expected to be within the confidence interval. A point estimate is a single value that approximates a population parameter (Graham, 2008). For instance, a sample mean is point estimate of the population mean, while a sample proportion is ...

Introduction

The victory of the allied powers in the Second World War was highly associated with the American entry into the war. The United States of America brought with them a military muscle consisting of state of the art mechanization and strategic military geniuses. The citizens of the United States of America had been through the most devastating economic depression in their history as the nation was followed by the ensuing regimentation just before the war started. The Second World War is probably the most mechanized and dreaded war in the history mainly due to its outcome and effects on ...

Introduction

Workers have different feelings towards everything within the workplace. The attitudes of the teenage and student employees, especially in the hospitality sector, are of great ethical importance since they determine how these workers treat the clients, how seriously they take their work, and whether they will steal from the business or not (Rogojan 6). This paper explores a case study and will attempt to establish how typical are the attitudes that Sheehy reports. The paper will also show how Sheehy’s description of a new work ethics matches with my own experiences.

Gebelhoff (2016) points out that around 10% of U.S. workers were union members in 2013. Thus, only a small fraction of employees discuss their wages with employers. Gebelhoff (2016) notes that there were 35% of labor unions in America in 1945, however nowadays the number is a tiny one, and the Europe significantly differs in this aspect. Unionized labor is not prevalent, since the manufacturing sector is not popular anymore. The lack of labor unions in the United Stated of America is related to the growth of economic and political inequality as well as lack of progress in terms ...

The Women’s Rights Movement arrived at its climax in 1970s and 1980s. However, there is still gender bias against women in the workplace. Discrimination is visible in many ways, including in the areas of wage equality, career progression, and leadership. Furthermore, such discrimination exists all over the world, though the capacity that such discrimination takes varies from country to country. While there has been undoubted progress in achieving gender equality over the decades, the task has not yet been completed. In her article, “The Glass Escalator: Hidden Advantages for Men in the “Female” Professions,” Christine Williams reports on ...

Introduction

The unionization of the work force can be observed as early as the 1800s, during the time when the industrial revolution was spreading quickly across Europe and the United States. These labor unions, however, are not permanently established organizations. Rather, these are employees who temporarily group themselves when employment issues arise in order to gain leverage in bargaining with their employers (Murray, n.d., p. 2). Among the major issues that bring employees together according to scholars are improvement of working conditions, wages and job security; issues that are still relevant in the contemporary labor setting across all industries (Cengage ...
