President Evo Morales, Bolivia And Bolivia
Since the Europeans first entered the Americas in the sixteenth century, indigenous groups have struggled to reclaim political and economic
power from the Europeans and their descendants. With the exception of Peru and Bolivia, many countries feature a percentage of less than
ten percent purely indigenous people, thus making circumstances unfavorable to create a political voice forceful enough to allow these native
groups the political prowess they need (World Development Index). Even in countries with a large percentage of indigenous people, the rise
to political power can be a slow process. However, in 2005, Bolivia elected their first president to office from native descent. As the United
Nations assesses the perverse situations within indigenous rises to political power, a pristine case to evaluate would be that of Bolivia. With
the election of Evo Morales, Bolivia began their empowerment of the indigenous population and encountered difficulties in providing
necessities such as education and economic assistance to bridge the gap in social and economic separations of opportunity between the
native and non–native populations.
President Evo Morales now lives in La Paz where he presides over the Bolivian government, but he was originally born to Aymaran parents
in the small village Isallawi in western Bolivia. His rise from working on his parents farmland to running his country began with his
participation in the cocalero unions and various activist groups for

Chain Of Command In The Military
The Chain of Command in the Military and 2nd and 3rd order effects.
The chain of command is defined as "an official hierarchy of authority that dictates who is in charge of whom and of whom permission must
be asked."
There is a chain of command evident in multiple forms. There is a chain of command in households with parental figures and family
hierarchy, in every structured organization, within workplaces and largely in the military.
The military chain of command is in place to provide the control and the communication necessary to accomplish the mission. There are
multiple levels of organizations and each level is responsible for a lower level which are all accountable to each of the higher levels. There
must be loyalty within the chain to each level for the system to work properly. With devotion of loyalty to the hierarchy this can be an
extremely effective and efficient system for accomplishing tasks and keeping the chain of command informed. The goal is to solve problems,
and find answers at the lowest possible level, issuing orders downward and receiving clarification and resolving problems upward.
When a mission is in place there is a team effort in the chain of command to accomplish those tasks representing that mission. One example
is when a state is ready to deploy, they receive a notification of sourcing from National Guard Bureau. The task is brought to me by my chain
of command. I begin my process with notifying anyone in my immediate chain of command to

Causes And Effects Of Morale
4. OCCUPATIONAL LEVEL
The occupational level of the worker additionally impacts his level of morale. For instance, officials are overall more fulfilled than chiefs;
directors are more fulfilled than subordinates; and so forth.
5. EXPERIENCE
Morale tends to increase with increasing years of experience. But it may decrease after twenty years of experience particularly among people
who have not realized their job expectation.
MORALE
Morale is the capacity of a group's members to keep up faith in an establishment or objective, especially even with resistance or hardship.

It is a mental process, which, once started, permeates to the entire group creating a mood which results in the formation of a common

range over the entire spectrum of human behavior. All managers have a constant concern for the morale of the group, which they lead.
However, considerable confusion prevails over the use of the term morale because of variation in defining characteristics of the term.

Morale was high and it exerted a pull on the best and the brightest officers and non–commissioned officers. Leaders lead, Soldiers soldiered,

insufficient personnel authorizations to allow sustained operations, training ramp–up for deployment focused on the wrong mission–essential

perception of a weak ABCT command staff. Currently, the brigade's favoritism, lack of leadership, inadequate equipment, sexual harassment
allegations, and growing trend in domestic abuse, DUI, and divorces are of major concern. Along with the excessive operational battle

What is a Great Company?
What makes a great company to work for? Well everybody has their own perspective. It can be pay, shorter working hours and so on.
Whatever the elements are to making a great company to work for, these are the elements that will benefit both parties. The purpose of this
paper is to explain the benefits of these three elements. It will cover the elements such as welfare, communication and fun, that will make a
great company to work for and how these elements will affect the employees working for the company which in turn will affect the
company's productivity and moral level.
A company that provides welfare will keep morale high. This is because a company that gives out welfare frequently will play a part in
keeping morale level high and motivated. When morale level are high among the employees, employees will be more
productive(bailey,2013). Welfare can be in a form of monetary reward, health care subsidies, off or lesser working hours. However, if a
company does not provide welfare it will affect the employees causing their morale level to be low. When employees morale level are low it
will create pressure between co–workers to form(Melton,2011) and anti–social behaviour will start to form which will affect the company.
Low morale also affects the productivity output in a company. Thus having welfare in a company is beneficial.
Another element that makes a good company to work for is fun. When companies promote fun in the workplace environment, it helps to

Carlos Evo Morales Aym The President Of Bolivia
Juan Evo Morales Ayma is the current president of Bolivia, elected on December 2005, and is running a third presidential term. He was born
into a small, rural home in poverty, but overcame that when he was maturing. He began to love leadership as an adolescent. As an adult, his
position as leader of coca–leaf farmers' unions allowed him to escalate his position to presidency. Evo Morales is a president with a rich
backstory, and should be considered an idol for people to admire.
Juan Evo Morales Ayma grew up in a poor Aymara family in Bolivia, who relied on farming and raising llamas and vicuñas –an animal
similar to the camel, prized for its wool– as income. He was one out of seven children, and just one of three that survived infancy. ... Show

His family was forced to move, and resettled in the Chapare region. He went to college at the Agrarian Humanistic Technical Institute of
Orinoca, attending all but the last year. In his twenties, Morales became a cocalero, or coca–leaf grower. Coca leaves are a key ingredient in
manufacturing cocaine. Coca in Bolivia is perfectly legal, as it was used by Aymaras and Quechuas as a appetite–queller when in a food
shortage, and for remedies to altitude sickness. The plant is also religiously important. When Morales was a coca leaf farmer, most of the
coca being exported from Bolivia was to the United States, for cocaine production. In 1985, Morales became a prominent figure in his local
farmers' union, dubbed San Francisco. He then rose to the top of an umbrella of six unions, which had all become more active in fighting US
government–led efforts to eradicate the coca plant, because of cocaine consumption back in the States. The coca unions allied to fight this,
because the only plant that would grow in Bolivia's environment was the coca plant. Morales led marches, met with officials from the
government, and became the target of harassment. He was also jailed for it. The coca unions and his childhood placed Morales into a
position for politics in the future.
As a prominent cocalero union leader, Morales was well known in Chapare. His leadership was an easy path to presidency, which he

The Effect Of Morale On Employee 's Job Attitudes And...
Title: The effect of morale on employee's job attitudes and emotions.
Thesis: Does the morale of employees in the company influence their job attitudes and emotions? If the employee morale is high, they would
have a positive attitude and productivity would increase or be stable. However, if the employees' morale is diminished or nonexistent, their
attitude and emotion towards work would be negative. By having a pessimistic attitude would signify that the employee morale is low.
Furthermore, this could potentially prohibit the productivity of the employee and damage their job attitude if no actions are taken.
I. Introduction

2. Morale is the psychological state of an individual as expressed in self–confidence, enthusiasm, and loyalty to a cause or company.

It would not have made more sense to forge an alliance with Ben and Jerry's because both benefited more from the acquisition than they
would have from an alliance.
Firstly, Ben and Jerry's was developing and becoming more and more popular every day, and they were unable to satisfy demand due to
restricted production facilities. They needed larger facilities and more labor in order to increase production. Unilever were able to support
Ben and Jerry's distribution network, and to give them the ability to enter new markets. Ben and Jerry's had reached their highest point, and
so were unable to do this alone. An alliance would have been possible, but had an alliance been forged, it would not have been profitable
enough for Unilever, because it would not have made sense for Unilever to forge an alliance with a company who had already reached their
highest point. Therefore, in order to help Ben and Jerry's meet the demands of the market, and to restructure the manufacturing process, it
made more sense for Unilever to acquire Ben and Jerry's than to form an alliance with them.

I would say the entry process was basically straight to the point in that he got a phone call during which time the possible organizational
problems were outlined. At the same time the contracting process was never definite. I would expect that Lawler would have stated his cost
in the letter as well as his terms and agreement if hired to do the job. The contract was not in writing it was verbal.
The only thing I would have done a bit differently was spend a considerable amount of time with the plant manager to try and get a grasp on
how his authoritative demeanor affects his staff. I would have also viewed the company records to find out what the turnover rate is like as
well as absenteeism and the lack of or presences of an incentive program. The reason why I would look for these measurements is because it
can make or bring down a company. With that being said, in my opinion Jack Lawler did an outstanding job with the manner in which he
gathered the information he needed to access the situation at the plant. It started with the proposal phone call from Mr. Bowman. During the
conversation Lawler took the time to inquire if the plant manager was supportive of the course idea. He then suggested that he should meet

Wartime Morale
Wartime Morale and Propaganda during WWII
Morale is the spine in your back, the lift to your chin, the song on your lips, the grit in your craw. Morale is the spirit that makes you say
defiantly "Is that so?" when you are told you aren't man or woman enough to do something – and makes you do it! Morale gives you the
heart to smile when the going is toughest; it gives you the spunk to wisecrack when the danger is greatest (Hunt 250). In the absence of a
credible positive ideology, motivation was always a problem; in return, this led to fluctuations in morale. Consequently, raising and
sustaining morale became all important, and morale itself developed into one of the unique obsessions of the Allies during the Second World
War (Fussell ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The use of propaganda acts as the offensive arm and converts people to behaving differently and having different beliefs. The educational
mean of this battle acts as the defensive arm and is used to build morale at home; however, it is also used to keep the people at home from
crossing bridges erected by enemy propagandists (Hunt 238). Since the Second World War, the use of psychological operations has come
into its own as an effective weapon system ("Psychological Operations"). Perhaps the most ambitious and spectacular cover and deception
operation of the Second World War was the effort of the Allies to convince the German high command that the upcoming Allied invasion of
Europe would occur across the beaches near the Pas de Calais, rather than the narrow sand strips and cliffs of Normandy nearly 100 hundred
miles away ("Psywar").
During the war America's most prevalent uses of propaganda were the deviation of rumors spread throughout the prisons and the dropping of
newspapers and leaflets over the enemy's land (Hunt 249). Rumors were crafted and carefully planted for the reason that the assumption of
the morale of soldiers in prison, obviously a timid, credulous lot, could be undermined if they heard authoritatively that their wives were
misbehaving at home; that no one there cared a whit about the misery they suffered; that the pay corps of their

The Effects Of Low Morale On The Levels Of Interest And...
Some of the indicators of low morale can include a loss of interest and enthusiasm, excessive absenteeism, excessive sick leaves, excessive
turnover, increase in accidents, increased number of complaints and grievances, negativism, noticeably less positive attitudes, to name a few.
Costs of Low Morale
The negatives costs of low morale can be astronomical and not fully realized by the organization. The Saratoga Institute suggests an
organizations average turnover costs a minimum of one year's salary and benefits to a maximum of two years of salary. Higher turnover
means significant recruitment and replaced costs will occur to the organization. So if the agency has a high turnover rate, you can see how
the low morale can easily affect the budgetary concerns of the agency.
A side effect of high turnover is having several officers with little to no experience in the field. This can cause a negative effect on other
officers not having trust in the new officers, which could make them less productive for the fear they will get into a situation that requires
immediate back–up and they don't know if the rookies can handle themselves. Another side effect of having a lot of new officers is the

Motivation And Morale During Times Of Change
Recently, my company has experienced massive change. The company has had around a 50 percent turnover in the last year. Included in that
turnover was everyone in the executive team, excluding the CEO. As our company struggles to handle new employees and a new vision,
motivation and morale seems to be decreasing. In this paper I plan to explore why motivation and morale tend to decrease during times of
change and investigate ways how a company can maintain high morale during massive change.
One of the main reasons motivation and morale tend to decrease during any type of change is because humans are naturally resistant to
change (Resistance to Change). People often tend to find a comfort zone in their jobs or company and are ... Show more content on

While conflict may not actually be present in the change, if an employee perceives that it may be present this can affect their motivation and
morale. If the perceived conflict becomes part of the employee grapevine it could possibly start to affect other employee's morale. When a
conflict or perceived conflict enters the grapevine misinformation is often shared and the conflict may form into something that is not true.
While 75–95% of the grapevine is true, during time of change there may be only partial truths (Mishra, 1990). Managers should note that
many employees will speak about the conflict or perceived conflict through the grapevine, however, most will keep their feelings hidden
from management (Robbins & Judge, 2009)(book p.196–199). To prevent grapevine talk, employees should be told in advance why a change
is taking place and how they will be affected by it. This gives them time to process it and ask questions (Ferguson, 2004).
As the resistance to the perceived conflict of change grows employees attitudes may tend to become less positive and more negative. While
every employee's attitude is different, if low morale and resistance is allowed to continue to spread through the grapevine, many attitudes
may tend to be influenced by the negativity (Mishra, 1990). These attitudes may be cognitive, affective or behavioral. While many attitudes
may start off as cognitive with employees describing to each

Epic of Beowulf Essay
The Lead of Beowulf
Huy Ngo
Beowulf displays the qualities of a good leader that were mentioned in the speech given by Hrothgar. The speech speaking of the vices and
virtues of great political leaders contains many of the same qualities that Beowulf embodies. His boastfulness, generosity and kindness are
evidence that he is a good leader and provides for his people. Although the qualities he posses may not be the best–fit qualities of a common
man, they are admirable qualities of a strong leader.
Beowulf's high self–regard acts as a promise to his people. It is a promise saying that he will provide for them and he can keep his country in

Heremod pays no attention to the needs of his people. He inflicts pain and suffering upon them. The darkness and gloom are associating
Heremod to the Misery of the people. The Danes suffering falls upon the hands of Heremod. But Beowulf is nothing like this evil leader. The
Geats are content with his leadership and feel no need to rebel. They even grieve the death of Beowulf and mourn him. The Geats praise him
at his funeral showing that they valued his leadership.
Hearth companions praised there lost one name him the ablest of all world kings mildest of men and most compassionate most lithe to his

The Geats preferred Beowulf to any other King so therefore revered him and praised him for his strong leadership. His strong foundation
created stability within the Kingdom and that was all the people needed in a time of chaos. This is in direct opposition to what Heremod
created and what he stood for.
Heremod's greediness is also an inappropriate quality to have among so many other whom required it. The Anglo Saxons are typically
rewarded for their duties in the field and their treasures help the morale of the country and unify the people more. Heremods lack of wealth

Incident At Morales
According to the National Society of Professional Engineers Fundamental Canons, there are six different duties that all professional
engineers must stand by: to "hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public, perform services only in areas of their competence,
issue public statements only in an objective and truthful manner, act for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees, avoid deceptive
acts, and to conduct themselves honorably, responsibly, ethically, and lawfully so as to enhance the honor reputation, and usefulness of the
profession" (NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers). In class, we watched the video Incident at Morales, a short story about Fred, a chemical
engineer who is hired to design a plant for Phaust, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In order to do so, the company is producing a new type of paint remover to beat out the competition. The first ethical issue we see in the film
is the fact that the Phaust company decided to hire Fred, who had previously designed a plant for Chemitoil. While Fred had not signed a
non–disclosure agreement with Chemitoil, good engineering ethics tell us that we must "act for each employer or client as faithful agents or
trustees" (NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers). A second issue arose when our characters debated the impact of their plant on the
environment. Fred wanted to line the evaporation ponds so that hazardous substances would not seep into the local groundwater. While many
of the other characters fought additional cost to hold to environmental regulations, Fred stood his ground to protect the local environment
from byproducts of the plant. Another critical issue seen in the short film had to do with the "inside connection" Lutz and Lutz, a control
company, had at Phaust. Due to this connection, the company had been buying more expensive controls exclusively from this company for
years. There were also many ethical issues seen in the purchase of parts for the Faust factory in Mexico. The the stress of a lower budget and
time constraint led Fred to buy cheaper pipes and connectors instead of those made of stainless steel or a high pressure alloy. These cheaper
connectors leaked almost immediately after a few runs in the factory and had to be replaced often due to wear and tear, placed wrongly under
"maintenance" costs instead of being taken care of properly in the first place. Finally, the last, and likely most problematic issue, is that
Manuel, a plant manager at Phaust, died on the job due to manually controlling the process at the plant. This is highly unethical, as
someone's life was put at stake when the job was originally supposed to be

Martín Sivak seeks to project a direct and straight forward perspective in his study of Evo, whom he knew quite well for some time. The
subtitle made me expect to read a kind of biography celebrating the advent of some holy man into Bolivia. But it is nothing like it. The text
does not approach the biography of a saint. On the contrary, the account is down to earth and Evo Morales ' description makes it seem like he
comes out of the book. The narrator appears to be a close acquaintance of the President and his text is all the more credible that most of it
pertains to events he personally attends or directly witnesses. His objective is to preserve a genuine image of Evo Morales, the real person,
not a fake image of the president, neither that of a saint of the poor in Bolivia (that in deep he is). The way how the book is made does not
relentlessly expose Evo 's flaws. Instead, it reports the details in a matter of fact way, warts and all.
Martín Sivak does not take any position on how present Evo Morales in his book while he is recording Evo Morales' life in his daily bases.
He recognizes Evo as a human being worry of his people rather than another political worry in his hands. Sivak acquires acknowledgment of

Downsizing Case Study
Introduction Carl, (2003) argued that, the recent economic crisis has led to an increased use of downsizing by corporations to manage costs.
In the case of high–technology workers, the direct cost of downsizing is so expensive because of employees' compensations and other
benefits. This type of compensation is typically comprised of some combination of the following: benefits payouts, costs of administrative–
processing amongst others. On the other hand indirect costs include law cases from affected employees, loss of productivity by employees'
low morale for survivors of downsizing and others. Griffin, (2002) opines that, there are many alternatives of downsizing the employees in

A company should have a method of informing the employees when they are earmarked for downsizing using a consistent communication
strategy. The role of human resource manager is to make sure that, employees facing downsizing should be treated with Outmost respect and
dignity similar to one offered to them when they were being welcomed in the employment. HR should also keep unfettered focus on
employees' job performance and use the layoff as an opportunity to get rid of poor performers. There should be consistent and steady
communication communications to affected employees, transparency and truthfulness. According to Casio, (2003) there are various steps
taken by the management to preserve the morale of the downsizing drive survivors. The company is expected to treat the departing
employees in a fair and humane manner. Miller, (2008) adds that those employees who survive the downsizing are exposed to signals which
provide a clue of how they are likely be treated when faced with such ordeal. How the organization treat to leaving employees have an
impact on those employment not affected in the company. In addition the company management might articulate a vision outlining the
advantages of downsizing. This will highly likely preserve the morale of the left employees. A number of studies focusing on relationship

What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Internal Hiring
Firstly, internal hiring can be better explained in the situation where an employer carries out staff's assessment to find out if among his or her
current staff there is one or a few who are adequately qualified or skilled to take on the job vacancies that need to be occupied. When a
company or a firm decides to engage in internal hiring, a current member of staff may be reallocated new roles by being offered an internal
transfer or a promotion. An internal promotion is a process where an employer recognizes by identification of staffs that display high
potential and are performing better than others (Bauer & Bender, 2004 p. 273). Ideally, job vacancies that are filled using internal promotions
are never made public hence other staffs don't get an opportunity to make applications. Strategies of internal hiring are used when firms
choose to give their employees promotions in the firm to take up vacancies positions or even new position in the organization. A good
number of organizations even make the employees aware on a possible vacancy in the organization by use of fliers, emails, or notice boards.
This form of hiring helps the organization retain employees who are talented with anticipation of future job promotions. Internal hiring has
both advantages and disadvantages as discussed below (Fernandez, & Abraham, 2011). Internal hiring has a considerable lower expenses and

Rena’s Concept of Nation Building Based on Chavez and Morales
Ernst Renan's concept of nation is about a proposal that urges people to come together in order to have consciousness about the process of
building a nation and to forget about the differences in geography, language, race, and religion. He insists on telling that a nation is
composed of people's collaboration and agreements to stay together and be governed by mutual approval because they shared a common
past. Based on this concept, we can say that Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales were trying to build a nation by using history to unify the nation
and to challenge the notion of geography and in the case of Morales the language and race.

Similar to Chavez, Evo Morales contributed to the concept of geography as part of making a nation because Bolivia is divided into two races
groups: European and Indigenous. It was difficult for Evo to be able to unify Bolivia for being an Indigenous person. He can be seemed as
one of the men that Renan mentioned who are "healthy in mind and warm of heart" because he was creating a kind of moral conscience
based on the coca leaf which he defended to be a form of food supply for the poor. As well, he said that the growing of coca was a job for the
peasant community (based on the film Cocalero). In addition, we can see that the contact with the people by playing soccer games with the
local miners demonstrate the moral consciousness that he wanted to implement. The fact that Evo spoke demonstrated that the language as
Renan said need to be forget, even though, there was a great percent of people who spoke Quechua. He wanted to reach everybody by
speaking the primary language. Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales had similar and different contributions about Rena's concept of nation
building. Chavez supported the ideas that geography was important to unify and to have progress in the nation. While, Morales was

Culture: The Intangible Asset in a Company
CULTURE: THE INTANGIBLE ASSET
A company's soul is its personality, its culture, and the values by which it stands; derived from a company's core beliefs, this intangible asset
determines the effectiveness of strategies and the ability to achieve authenticity. Culture consists of group norms of behavior and the
underlying shared values that help keep those norms in place (Nelson, 2013). Defining and implementing desired norms of behavior requires
wisdom, time, and some intellectual curiosity and emotional investment to understand what motivates employees to perform consistently
well, even beyond expectations (Kotter, 2012). "Every company and team has its own identity––a soul waiting to be discovered and used to
unlock human energy and unleash new economic value" (Lapin, 2012). While one culture will not work for every company, successful
companies determine the desired culture, design, implement, and nurture it. Leaders must revisit their mission, and answer pertinent
questions: Why are we in this business and why is our company here? What is the higher purpose for which our organization has come into
being? The company's existence is no accident of circumstance; it is here to do something no other organization can do (Lapin, 2012). Every

The Four Types Of Organizational Cultures
An organizational culture is a system of shared beliefs and values that are establised to help motivate and coordinate employees in the
achievement of meeting the organization's goals (Kinicki, 2012, p.229). The four types of organizational cultures are: clan, adhocracy,
market, and hierarchy. By a company choosing what kind of culture and structure they will plan lays out the design of how an organization
will function which gives an the organizational identity, it facilitates collective commitment, promotes stability, and shapes the workplace
behavior by helping employees to understand the purpose and goals of the company, and how they intend to accomplish their goals (Kinicki,

President Evo Morales, Bolivia And Bolivia

  • 1. President Evo Morales, Bolivia And Bolivia Since the Europeans first entered the Americas in the sixteenth century, indigenous groups have struggled to reclaim political and economic power from the Europeans and their descendants. With the exception of Peru and Bolivia, many countries feature a percentage of less than ten percent purely indigenous people, thus making circumstances unfavorable to create a political voice forceful enough to allow these native groups the political prowess they need (World Development Index). Even in countries with a large percentage of indigenous people, the rise to political power can be a slow process. However, in 2005, Bolivia elected their first president to office from native descent. As the United Nations assesses the perverse situations within indigenous rises to political power, a pristine case to evaluate would be that of Bolivia. With the election of Evo Morales, Bolivia began their empowerment of the indigenous population and encountered difficulties in providing necessities such as education and economic assistance to bridge the gap in social and economic separations of opportunity between the native and non–native populations. President Evo Morales now lives in La Paz where he presides over the Bolivian government, but he was originally born to Aymaran parents in the small village Isallawi in western Bolivia. His rise from working on his parents farmland to running his country began with his participation in the cocalero unions and various activist groups for ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Chain Of Command In The Military The Chain of Command in the Military and 2nd and 3rd order effects. The chain of command is defined as "an official hierarchy of authority that dictates who is in charge of whom and of whom permission must be asked." There is a chain of command evident in multiple forms. There is a chain of command in households with parental figures and family hierarchy, in every structured organization, within workplaces and largely in the military. The military chain of command is in place to provide the control and the communication necessary to accomplish the mission. There are multiple levels of organizations and each level is responsible for a lower level which are all accountable to each of the higher levels. There must be loyalty within the chain to each level for the system to work properly. With devotion of loyalty to the hierarchy this can be an extremely effective and efficient system for accomplishing tasks and keeping the chain of command informed. The goal is to solve problems, and find answers at the lowest possible level, issuing orders downward and receiving clarification and resolving problems upward. When a mission is in place there is a team effort in the chain of command to accomplish those tasks representing that mission. One example is when a state is ready to deploy, they receive a notification of sourcing from National Guard Bureau. The task is brought to me by my chain of command. I begin my process with notifying anyone in my immediate chain of command to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Each employee has attitudes that range over the entire spectrum of human behavior. All managers have a constant concern for the morale of the group, which they lead.

  • 6. The Best Maneuver Brigades Three short years ago, the 4th ABCT was considered among the best maneuver brigades in FORSCOM. In all areas, the brigade shined. Morale was high and it exerted a pull on the best and the brightest officers and non–commissioned officers. Leaders lead, Soldiers soldiered, and a family atmosphere of support emanated within the brigade. The work ethic was strong. Competition amongst the battalions was positively oriented toward the success of the brigade and there was frequent coordination among peers to share information, resources, and lessons learned. Now, after a jaded Afghanistan deployment, it appears that the climate has shifted and the battalions are striving to make themselves distinct from each other and the brigades rather ...

However, the official record specified that a wide–ranging of findings required attention were incompatible communications systems, insufficient personnel authorizations to allow sustained operations, training ramp–up for deployment focused on the wrong mission–essential tasks, the deputy battalion commander's varied missions and the modular BCT structure created confusion, training challenges, and the perception of a weak ABCT command staff. Currently, the brigade's favoritism, lack of leadership, inadequate equipment, sexual harassment allegations, and growing trend in domestic abuse, DUI, and divorces are of major concern. Along with the excessive operational battle rhythm that has caused the BCT's most optimistic officers and NCOs frustration and anger with the inability to make fundamental decisions, discontent with the amount of time spent with families ', and discouraged at the continued chaotic tempo with no perceptible cohesion with accomplishment or vision. As the new leader, my first step is to create a transition plan by accessing the current state of the organization and by asking critical questions and getting the answers from the best and most unbiased sources available.

  • 7. What is a Great Company? What makes a great company to work for? Well everybody has their own perspective. It can be pay, shorter working hours and so on. Whatever the elements are to making a great company to work for, these are the elements that will benefit both parties. The purpose of this paper is to explain the benefits of these three elements. It will cover the elements such as welfare, communication and fun, that will make a great company to work for and how these elements will affect the employees working for the company which in turn will affect the company's productivity and moral level. A company that provides welfare will keep morale high. This is because a company that gives out welfare frequently will play a part in keeping morale level high and motivated. When morale level are high among the employees, employees will be more productive(bailey,2013). Welfare can be in a form of monetary reward, health care subsidies, off or lesser working hours. However, if a company does not provide welfare it will affect the employees causing their morale level to be low. When employees morale level are low it will create pressure between co–workers to form(Melton,2011) and anti–social behaviour will start to form which will affect the company. Low morale also affects the productivity output in a company. Thus having welfare in a company is beneficial. Another element that makes a good company to work for is fun. When companies promote fun in the workplace environment, it helps to boost ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Carlos Evo Morales Aym The President Of Bolivia Juan Evo Morales Ayma is the current president of Bolivia, elected on December 2005, and is running a third presidential term. He was born into a small, rural home in poverty, but overcame that when he was maturing. He began to love leadership as an adolescent. As an adult, his position as leader of coca–leaf farmers' unions allowed him to escalate his position to presidency. Evo Morales is a president with a rich backstory, and should be considered an idol for people to admire. Juan Evo Morales Ayma grew up in a poor Aymara family in Bolivia, who relied on farming and raising llamas and vicuñas –an animal similar to the camel, prized for its wool– as income. He was one out of seven children, and just one of three that survived infancy. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... His family was forced to move, and resettled in the Chapare region. He went to college at the Agrarian Humanistic Technical Institute of Orinoca, attending all but the last year. In his twenties, Morales became a cocalero, or coca–leaf grower. Coca leaves are a key ingredient in manufacturing cocaine. Coca in Bolivia is perfectly legal, as it was used by Aymaras and Quechuas as a appetite–queller when in a food shortage, and for remedies to altitude sickness. The plant is also religiously important. When Morales was a coca leaf farmer, most of the coca being exported from Bolivia was to the United States, for cocaine production. In 1985, Morales became a prominent figure in his local farmers' union, dubbed San Francisco. He then rose to the top of an umbrella of six unions, which had all become more active in fighting US government–led efforts to eradicate the coca plant, because of cocaine consumption back in the States. The coca unions allied to fight this, because the only plant that would grow in Bolivia's environment was the coca plant. Morales led marches, met with officials from the government, and became the target of harassment. He was also jailed for it. The coca unions and his childhood placed Morales into a position for politics in the future. As a prominent cocalero union leader, Morales was well known in Chapare. His leadership was an easy path to presidency, which he ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

There were no established standards for measuring the strength and stamina of women, so women were being recruited for jobs that they could not physically perform. Eventually the utilization of women proved to be ineffective and lowered morale. During an interview with Major General Gene Deegan, the Commanding General at the Pariss Island Marine Corps Recruiting Depot. Deegan stated to the Presidential Commissioners on Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces, "If I were to maintain the same intensity for women in training as the male recruits, I would have a very difficult time recruiting any females"(Hoar 5). The physical capacity of men and women can be measured by the physical tests military members are required to take annually. Men are required to do 38 push–ups, while women have to do only 18. Men have to run 1.5 miles under 12 minutes, while women have an extra three minutes to complete the run.

  • 11. Increase Company Morale Here is the proposal you requested on how to increase company morale and production. I have considered the production numbers as you requested, and I have noticed, and you were correct around the start of November every year our production drops and then recovers to normal level around March. This dip in production is something we cannot afford as a company. The problem seems to be, that as we reach the winter months peoples morale drops an in turn their production drops as well. My thoughts on this is that the lack of engagement outside of work because of the weather is negatively affecting the company. The solution seems that we need to encourage our employees to partake in something that they can look forward to both in and out of work. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

There should be separate living conditions by classes so that they can interact with their class year and their developmental level. They all live together so there is no sense of accountability. A merit–based promotion should be implemented for promotion and rank. The Personal Interpersonal Team Organizational Model refers to the class year, however, not because you have made the next level it does not equate to responsibility. If a cadet wants to be a squadron commander then the name should be thrown in the hat and the selection should be based on accomplishment. The Superintendent's vision is ridiculous and it has taken two years to fix the Terrazzo. It should not be acceptable in any state or institution. The living quarters should be changed. Why can't the living facilities be changed? An airman has more responsibility than a cadet, i.e. alcohol in the dorms. Cadets should be able to have sex in the dorm.

  • 14. The Effect Of Morale On Employee 's Job Attitudes And... Title: The effect of morale on employee's job attitudes and emotions. Thesis: Does the morale of employees in the company influence their job attitudes and emotions? If the employee morale is high, they would have a positive attitude and productivity would increase or be stable. However, if the employees' morale is diminished or nonexistent, their attitude and emotion towards work would be negative. By having a pessimistic attitude would signify that the employee morale is low. Furthermore, this could potentially prohibit the productivity of the employee and damage their job attitude if no actions are taken. I. Introduction 1. Describe what morale is and the significance of it. 2. Morale is the psychological state of an individual as expressed in self–confidence, enthusiasm, and loyalty to a cause or company. (Merriam–Webster dictionary) The significance of morale in the work center is crucial; because it ties into the employee's attitude and emotions i. Morale is defined in multiple ways, but in the work environment morale is defined as "the degree to which an employee feels good about his/her work and work environment". (Chungsup, Lee 2014) II. Background 1. Newman Harrison (2006) states that job attitudes defined as desired contribution made to one's work role. 2.

It would not have made more sense to forge an alliance with Ben and Jerry's because both benefited more from the acquisition than they would have from an alliance. Firstly, Ben and Jerry's was developing and becoming more and more popular every day, and they were unable to satisfy demand due to restricted production facilities. They needed larger facilities and more labor in order to increase production. Unilever were able to support Ben and Jerry's distribution network, and to give them the ability to enter new markets. Ben and Jerry's had reached their highest point, and so were unable to do this alone. An alliance would have been possible, but had an alliance been forged, it would not have been profitable enough for Unilever, because it would not have made sense for Unilever to forge an alliance with a company who had already reached their highest point. Therefore, in order to help Ben and Jerry's meet the demands of the market, and to restructure the manufacturing process, it made more sense for Unilever to acquire Ben and Jerry's than to form an alliance with them.

I would say the entry process was basically straight to the point in that he got a phone call during which time the possible organizational problems were outlined. At the same time the contracting process was never definite. I would expect that Lawler would have stated his cost in the letter as well as his terms and agreement if hired to do the job. The contract was not in writing it was verbal. The only thing I would have done a bit differently was spend a considerable amount of time with the plant manager to try and get a grasp on how his authoritative demeanor affects his staff. I would have also viewed the company records to find out what the turnover rate is like as well as absenteeism and the lack of or presences of an incentive program. The reason why I would look for these measurements is because it can make or bring down a company. With that being said, in my opinion Jack Lawler did an outstanding job with the manner in which he gathered the information he needed to access the situation at the plant. It started with the proposal phone call from Mr. Bowman. During the conversation Lawler took the time to inquire if the plant manager was supportive of the course idea. He then suggested that he should meet with Bowman and Richardson at the plant. While there he got a rundown of the situation at the plant and he was also able to get a tour.

  • 19. Wartime Morale Wartime Morale and Propaganda during WWII Morale is the spine in your back, the lift to your chin, the song on your lips, the grit in your craw. Morale is the spirit that makes you say defiantly "Is that so?" when you are told you aren't man or woman enough to do something – and makes you do it! Morale gives you the heart to smile when the going is toughest; it gives you the spunk to wisecrack when the danger is greatest (Hunt 250). In the absence of a credible positive ideology, motivation was always a problem; in return, this led to fluctuations in morale. Consequently, raising and sustaining morale became all important, and morale itself developed into one of the unique obsessions of the Allies during the Second World War (Fussell ...

The educational mean of this battle acts as the defensive arm and is used to build morale at home; however, it is also used to keep the people at home from crossing bridges erected by enemy propagandists (Hunt 238). Since the Second World War, the use of psychological operations has come into its own as an effective weapon system ("Psychological Operations"). Perhaps the most ambitious and spectacular cover and deception operation of the Second World War was the effort of the Allies to convince the German high command that the upcoming Allied invasion of Europe would occur across the beaches near the Pas de Calais, rather than the narrow sand strips and cliffs of Normandy nearly 100 hundred miles away ("Psywar"). During the war America's most prevalent uses of propaganda were the deviation of rumors spread throughout the prisons and the dropping of newspapers and leaflets over the enemy's land (Hunt 249). Rumors were crafted and carefully planted for the reason that the assumption of the morale of soldiers in prison, obviously a timid, credulous lot, could be undermined if they heard authoritatively that their wives were misbehaving at home; that no one there cared a whit about the misery they suffered; that the pay corps of their ...

  • 20. The Effects Of Low Morale On The Levels Of Interest And... Some of the indicators of low morale can include a loss of interest and enthusiasm, excessive absenteeism, excessive sick leaves, excessive turnover, increase in accidents, increased number of complaints and grievances, negativism, noticeably less positive attitudes, to name a few. Costs of Low Morale The negatives costs of low morale can be astronomical and not fully realized by the organization. The Saratoga Institute suggests an organizations average turnover costs a minimum of one year's salary and benefits to a maximum of two years of salary. Higher turnover means significant recruitment and replaced costs will occur to the organization. So if the agency has a high turnover rate, you can see how the low morale can easily affect the budgetary concerns of the agency. A side effect of high turnover is having several officers with little to no experience in the field. This can cause a negative effect on other officers not having trust in the new officers, which could make them less productive for the fear they will get into a situation that requires immediate back–up and they don't know if the rookies can handle themselves. Another side effect of having a lot of new officers is the likelihood of mistakes being made in the field. These mistakes could be from simply not getting all the information needed to effectively solve a case all the way up to the improper use of force. These types of mistakes can lead to expensive lawsuits. Even if the officer acted correctly, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Included in that turnover was everyone in the executive team, excluding the CEO. As our company struggles to handle new employees and a new vision, motivation and morale seems to be decreasing. In this paper I plan to explore why motivation and morale tend to decrease during times of change and investigate ways how a company can maintain high morale during massive change. One of the main reasons motivation and morale tend to decrease during any type of change is because humans are naturally resistant to change (Resistance to Change). People often tend to find a comfort zone in their jobs or company and are ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... While conflict may not actually be present in the change, if an employee perceives that it may be present this can affect their motivation and morale. If the perceived conflict becomes part of the employee grapevine it could possibly start to affect other employee's morale. When a conflict or perceived conflict enters the grapevine misinformation is often shared and the conflict may form into something that is not true. While 75–95% of the grapevine is true, during time of change there may be only partial truths (Mishra, 1990). Managers should note that many employees will speak about the conflict or perceived conflict through the grapevine, however, most will keep their feelings hidden from management (Robbins & Judge, 2009)(book p.196–199). To prevent grapevine talk, employees should be told in advance why a change is taking place and how they will be affected by it. This gives them time to process it and ask questions (Ferguson, 2004). As the resistance to the perceived conflict of change grows employees attitudes may tend to become less positive and more negative. While every employee's attitude is different, if low morale and resistance is allowed to continue to spread through the grapevine, many attitudes may tend to be influenced by the negativity (Mishra, 1990). These attitudes may be cognitive, affective or behavioral. While many attitudes may start off as cognitive with employees describing to each ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

In order to do so, the company is producing a new type of paint remover to beat out the competition. The first ethical issue we see in the film is the fact that the Phaust company decided to hire Fred, who had previously designed a plant for Chemitoil. While Fred had not signed a non–disclosure agreement with Chemitoil, good engineering ethics tell us that we must "act for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees" (NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers). A second issue arose when our characters debated the impact of their plant on the environment. Fred wanted to line the evaporation ponds so that hazardous substances would not seep into the local groundwater. While many of the other characters fought additional cost to hold to environmental regulations, Fred stood his ground to protect the local environment from byproducts of the plant. Another critical issue seen in the short film had to do with the "inside connection" Lutz and Lutz, a control company, had at Phaust. Due to this connection, the company had been buying more expensive controls exclusively from this company for years. There were also many ethical issues seen in the purchase of parts for the Faust factory in Mexico. The the stress of a lower budget and time constraint led Fred to buy cheaper pipes and connectors instead of those made of stainless steel or a high pressure alloy. These cheaper connectors leaked almost immediately after a few runs in the factory and had to be replaced often due to wear and tear, placed wrongly under "maintenance" costs instead of being taken care of properly in the first place. Finally, the last, and likely most problematic issue, is that Manuel, a plant manager at Phaust, died on the job due to manually controlling the process at the plant.

What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Internal Hiring Firstly, internal hiring can be better explained in the situation where an employer carries out staff's assessment to find out if among his or her current staff there is one or a few who are adequately qualified or skilled to take on the job vacancies that need to be occupied. When a company or a firm decides to engage in internal hiring, a current member of staff may be reallocated new roles by being offered an internal transfer or a promotion. An internal promotion is a process where an employer recognizes by identification of staffs that display high potential and are performing better than others (Bauer & Bender, 2004 p. 273). Ideally, job vacancies that are filled using internal promotions are never made public hence other staffs don't get an opportunity to make applications. Strategies of internal hiring are used when firms choose to give their employees promotions in the firm to take up vacancies positions or even new position in the organization. A good number of organizations even make the employees aware on a possible vacancy in the organization by use of fliers, emails, or notice boards. This form of hiring helps the organization retain employees who are talented with anticipation of future job promotions.

Rena’s Concept of Nation Building Based on Chavez and Morales Ernst Renan's concept of nation is about a proposal that urges people to come together in order to have consciousness about the process of building a nation and to forget about the differences in geography, language, race, and religion. He insists on telling that a nation is composed of people's collaboration and agreements to stay together and be governed by mutual approval because they shared a common past.

In addition, we can see that the contact with the people by playing soccer games with the local miners demonstrate the moral consciousness that he wanted to implement.

We will explore issues involving retention, organizational growth, employee morale, and workplace demographics. I will narrow these four areas down to one and discuss ways to fix the issues. Target Crowd I wanted to get an unbiased view of Chicopee Public School System's Human Resources department through the eyes of different workers. I targeted workers from different departments. CPS has a unique organization structure. CPS has a central office, this is where I work on a day to day basis. The central office could be considered the main hub for CPS. The public schools in Chicopee could be considered the sub organizations. This is what made it difficult to find a target audience in my organization.

  • 36. Culture: The Intangible Asset in a Company CULTURE: THE INTANGIBLE ASSET A company's soul is its personality, its culture, and the values by which it stands; derived from a company's core beliefs, this intangible asset determines the effectiveness of strategies and the ability to achieve authenticity. Culture consists of group norms of behavior and the underlying shared values that help keep those norms in place (Nelson, 2013). Defining and implementing desired norms of behavior requires wisdom, time, and some intellectual curiosity and emotional investment to understand what motivates employees to perform consistently well, even beyond expectations (Kotter, 2012). "Every company and team has its own identity––a soul waiting to be discovered and used to unlock human energy and unleash new economic value" (Lapin, 2012). While one culture will not work for every company, successful companies determine the desired culture, design, implement, and nurture it. Leaders must revisit their mission, and answer pertinent questions: Why are we in this business and why is our company here? What is the higher purpose for which our organization has come into being? The company's existence is no accident of circumstance; it is here to do something no other organization can do (Lapin, 2012). Every company has a culture (Moberly, 2014). In today's generation, the archaic mission statements filled with lofty sounding declarations resonate more like a press release than a passion filled vision inspired by a higher corporate ...

  • 38. The Four Types Of Organizational Cultures An organizational culture is a system of shared beliefs and values that are establised to help motivate and coordinate employees in the achievement of meeting the organization's goals (Kinicki, 2012, p.229). The four types of organizational cultures are: clan, adhocracy, market, and hierarchy. By a company choosing what kind of culture and structure they will plan lays out the design of how an organization will function which gives an the organizational identity, it facilitates collective commitment, promotes stability, and shapes the workplace behavior by helping employees to understand the purpose and goals of the company, and how they intend to accomplish their goals (Kinicki, 2012).

The board of directors and top executives won't admit they are wrong, they didn't think they will lose and after ESI told them what they want and Walgreens was still insisting that demands be met. They thought ESI was bluffing and after December 31st 2011, they dropped Walgreens from their network services. LITERATURE REVIEW A Literature review was conducted to determine how alienating Walgreens from the ESI network has caused a major constraint on the payer, patients, and employees. Each party used different strategy to keep their patients' in their network. Walgreens began putting signage out encouraging consumers to talk to their insurance plans about excluding them from the network and for Medicare members to choose plans that aren't run by Express Scripts. Walgreens also gave out a pamphlet about what happens when you remove them from the network. It goes as follows: Key Statement: Excluding Walgreens from a pharmacy network will result in little to no savings for most sponsors and patients, and in some cases will raise costs, while causing significant patient disruption and risking gaps in care, and increasing administrative costs on plan sponsors. As part of this document, they are encouraging payers to consider directly contracting with them and/or creating a custom network (if their PBM contracts allow for that).
