One of the most important themes is about the tension that can oftentimes exist between a business and its surrounding community. In this particular story the tension occurs between the bank, as represented by its bank officer, and one of its customers, as represented by the fourteen-year-old schoolboy. The tension comes about when the bank refuses to allow the boy to withdraw money from his account due to his underage status.
This tension in turn is caused by the bank officer's choice to behave ethically towards the customer as opposed to behaving in a selfish manner. This conflict between ethical and self -interest is another theme touched upon by the story when it is shown that the bank officer, in refusing to allow the boy to withdraw money from his account, was behaving ethically by indirectly protecting the boy from a bully who was stealing his money. If the officer…...

workplace environment in India has changed drastically over the past decade. The early 1990s was marked by a wave of globalization creating a lot of attention for developing a sound infrastructure for workplace and country. The focus was to create amenities in the workplace and make working environment pleasurable. On this front, the federal government had succeeded in initiating development of urban centers that provide sound infrastructure for employees (Sikri, 1992).
Business entities have come to realize that maintaining a well managed and highly efficient workplace environment is critical to success. New technologies, environmental consciousness, and health concerns are having a major impact on the need for facility management.

Non-Discriminatory orkplace Environment
To effectively deal with the problems of discrimination in the workforce, a workplace environment must strive to prevent discriminatory behavior from occurring between employees, must ensure that when discriminatory behavior does occur the participants involved in the conflict have a venue in which to express their differences and grievances, and finally, leaders in the workplace must make an effort to ensure that it doesn't occur in the future. In other words, preventing discrimination requires an efficacious three-pronged attack for both public and private enterprises.

First and foremost, during the hiring process, the human resource personnel must ensure that candidates are selected at all levels of the corporate hierarchy that share the company's nondiscriminatory values. It needs to be communicated, in strong and in no uncertain terms, that discrimination in the workforce and sexual harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, whether it be wielded against employees, or…...

Decision Making, Human Error, Humans, and Automation

While working on issues involving social reforms, a theoretical model can be useful in the examination, perception, and performance in what is often a complicated situation. The theory of general systems is one such model but its use is restricted although it is well respected and well-known. The following study provides an account of how I can work with these ideas when making design decisions in relation to human-system interaction.

The growth of appropriate intervention techniques for a particular customer requires concern of the individual in regards to a larger social perspective. In order to achieve this, I might use concepts and principles based on systems theory. Systems concept is a way of elaborating progressively complicated systems across a procession that involves the person-in-environment. Systems concept enables me to understand the elements and characteristics of customer systems in order…...

How Managers Can Address Risks of an Aging Workforce Abstract
This paper examines the effects of the aging workforce on companies and how managers should address the issue. It identifies the risks associated with an aging workforce, looks at the challenges that this issue brings for managers, offers solutions and recommendations for what managers can do to address these risks and challenges, discusses ergonomic issues and how to face resistance within the organization when changes are inevitably made to accommodate the aging workforce so as to enhance their performance and maximize their potential. It also looks at the positive side of having an aging workforce and why more people should work later in life and why managers should embrace this trend.

Alarm fatigue reduces quality of care and adversely affects the quality of the workplace environment for healthcare staff. Therefore, comprehensive alarm management strategies should become a cornerstone of healthcare administration. Using diffusion of innovation theory, this paper has shown how administrators can develop effective alarm management strategies.
Alarm management strategies may vary depending on the nursing context, but generally there are several components to alarm management including helping nurses recognize patient risk signals, psychological sifting, reducing unnecessary alarms, and improving the audible quality of alarms by working with technology manufacturers. Different types of alarms can and should be handled by dedicated staff. For example, technical alarms that indicate equipment malfunctions could be directly channeled into equipment technician receivers rather than being broadcast throughout the nursing department. Nursing staff also needs to be trained regularly when new equipment is installed, so that the different sounds of alarms can be distinguished from one…...

Self-Assessment of Clinical Skills
The three strengths that I was able to identify after completing the isk Control Self-Assessment Checklist for Nurse Practitioners are: 1) professional conduct, 2) scope of practice, and 3) assessment skills. I consider these my strengths because I always take seriously myself and my workplace environment and thus make every effort to conduct myself in a professional manner. I believe that the work calls for professionalism and that doctors, patients and co-workers all expect and appreciate when an NP shows the kind of professional conduct that one wants to see from one in a leadership role. I always view my scope of practice as a strength because of my years of experience in nursing and all the different training I have received over the years with many fine co-workers at my side. This, in addition to my schooling, allows me to take a broad view of all…...

egarding my boss that plays favorites, the best strategy is to simply 'stick with the facts.' Instead of focusing on personalities, I should try to make my conversations with this boss issue-based, and try to win points based upon the issues. If the bosses' directions are unclear, I must demand clarification, and if she is impatient, I will try to frame this as a positive, saying that it is because of my desire to do a good job that I am asking for clarification.

For instance, if one individual "kept telling another employee sexual jokes that the second employee found offensive, it would be sexual harassment in the workplace. If two employees dated and engaged in consensual sex, this would not be sexual harassment. If one of the two then wanted to terminate the relationship, and the other used the unequal relative terms and conditions of employment of the work place to further the relationship, this would be sexual harassment in the workplace." (Sexual Harassment in the orkplace, 2004) in other words, consent is key -- conceivably a man could be made to feel uncomfortable, perhaps by another man, through repeated exposure to sexual jokes even after the perpetrator of the 'humor' was asked to cease and desist.

Workplace Injury
educing workplace injury requires a multifaceted approach, and requires responsibility on the part of employees and managers. I am frequently called upon to move, lift, or manipulate objects. Most of the time this behavior is in accordance with my job description, and I was offered some basic safety training and guidelines when I was hired to perform the job. However, the details of each procedure were not offered in the training. As a result, we only received general guidance, such as how to bend our knees when lifting heavy objects. Issues related to workplace environment and ergonomics remain woefully ignored by senior management. Moreover, there is no ongoing training to remind personnel of their role and responsibility in preventing workplace injury. I have witnessed many of my colleagues do things that are not according to recommended procedure, thereby causing injury.

Management is often able to prevent workplace injuries, in part…...

Question C

Marlene was not discriminated against because of her religion, and unless she proved the union prohibited Catholics from becoming members, which would be a violation of Title VII. However, she has no anti-discrimination grounds on which to sue given there is no evidence either the union or the casino discriminated against Catholics. She could argue that she was being discriminated as the state of Nevada has 'right to work' laws which prohibit discriminating against employees who are not members of unions or who refuse to become members of unions. Merely being a member of a historically-discriminated against group is not grounds to sue -- there must also be evidence of discrimination.

Sexual Harassment Background Information

The issue of sexual harassment at workplaces poses an ethical problem, with around 50% of all women employees experiencing it during some point of time at their workplace; the effects of sexual harassment on people are always negative, and harmful (Bimrose, 2004). Thus, career guidance has a significant role to play in preparing and supporting working women, who may have already faced, or are currently, facing sexual harassment at work. ecent studies on workplace-related gender inequalities have recommended combating of stereotyping by urging women to take up non-traditional vocational training, education, and jobs.

Though the above solution is pertinent, the problem of workplace sexual harassment is not accorded due recognition. There are several reasons for this; the foremost reason is…...

Race, class, gender, ethnicity, and religion are all variables that impact a person’s identity, worldview, communication style, and behaviors. Applying the sociological imagination to the workplace environment enables a greater understanding of how these factors impact daily interactions and events, with the goals of promoting harmony and resolving conflict. Being aware of race, gender, and religion has helped me function better in teams. The times that I neglected to recognize race, religion, and gender taught me valuable lessons and helped me to become more emotionally and socially intelligent. Race, gender, and religion are all socially constructed variables rather than being absolute categories; therefore it is always important to remember the fluidity of these constructs and to relate to each person individually as opposed to making sweeping generalizations based on stereotypes and assumptions. Moreover, categories and definitions of race, gender, and religion are not monolithic. What it means to be white, black,…...

Manifestations of Abuse of Power in the Workplace

Workplace abuse of power refers to the misuse of authority or influence by individuals in positions of power to gain undue advantage or control over others. While the specific manifestations can vary depending on the workplace environment and the individuals involved, there are several common patterns that often emerge.

1. Coercion and Intimidation:

Abusers may use threats, fear, or retaliation to force employees to comply with their demands. This can include:

Making threats of termination, demotion, or other negative consequences
Using aggressive or intimidating language or body language
Creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty

Incorporating diverse perspectives in teaching can enhance the overall learning experience for students in several ways:

1. Increased critical thinking: Exposure to different perspectives challenges students to think critically about the information presented to them. This helps students develop a more well-rounded understanding of the material and encourages them to question and analyze different viewpoints.

2. Improved empathy and understanding: Learning about diverse perspectives can help students develop empathy and understanding for people with different backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs. This can foster a more inclusive and tolerant learning environment and promote respect for individuals from different cultures and communities.
