Beliefs

A belief is an acceptance that something exists without proof. Christians believe that God exists and He is the Creator of the universe. Whereas, the atheists do not believe that. As a Christian Nurse, I believe in Christian outlook. And that helps me to show love to people and also to give them a listening ear to their problems. I also believe that patients, staff, relatives, should be treated with dignity, respect, and also with privacy. I also believe that Human Rights Act 1998 bears witness to that. I believe that these rights were created by God. People only discovered them and added some rights such as Article 8 (Rights to privacy) etcetera.

However, freedom of speech and forcing their religion may impact the others. Smokers may have different attitude in the workplace if they are not provided with smoking areas. However, they may use freedom to put their own health at risk. Smokers being allowed breaks to smoke causes problems. They spend more time on smoking than on looking after patients. Whereas, non smokers take less time and that is not considered as a problem by the managers. If the manager encourages the staff to develop their skills they might interpret that differently. They may think that they are forced to learn or are told what to do. Some may not like their job to be monitored and believe that the manager is too much controlling.

  • Faith in the workplace

    570 Words  | 2 Pages

    The article “Faith in the workplace”, featured in The Economist, is about a new admonition that came up last month from America’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission which stated that last year there were 3, 721 religious discrimination cases in the workforce, which makes the year 2013 with the most amount of religious discrimination cases. Therefore they enforced a law, because it’s a human right for firms to respect their workers and provide them with religious needs, that all the bosses and managers of the Western part of the world, must respect and have to allow their employees to display their religious faiths and beliefs and let them practice it while at work, for example: letting Muslim women wearing their Hijab (head scarf), letting people celebrate their special holidays. That is why all Business firms and companies have changed their rules in order to meet employee’s expectations such Abercrombie Fitch, because if they don’t meet their expectations and discriminate them they will have suffer from lawsuits and so on.

    The Competing Values Framework is originated by Quinn and Rohrbaugh. It emphasizes the organizational problems and choices faced by managers. The framework is divided into various managerial roles corresponding situations, as well as specific organizational environments. For instance, the facilitator and mentor roles rely on cohesion and morale to bring about human resource development within the organization. While the innovator and broker roles rely on flexibility and readiness in order to receive the growth and resource needed to perform an effective organization. The director and producer roles are more applicable for planning and goal setting skills and will result in productivity and efficiency. The monitor and coordinator roles are intended to managing information and communicating. The framework can also be divided into two main roles. The first four mentioned above are the transformational roles, and the last four are the transactional roles (Belasen, 1996). The transformational roles are more aimed toward making changes and developments, while the transactional roles have strong emphasizes on managerial authorities. The key to becoming a master manager is to be a successful manager who is able to perform each role in order to cope with all difficulties being faced as a manager (Quinn, 1988). A successful manager is also someone who is perceived by others as performing all of the eight roles more frequent than a normal manager and recognizes each of its importance thoroughly (Denison, 1995). A study by Bono (2004) also shows that giving importance to any specific working environment, such as rational goal model, may lower the effectiveness of other areas. Denison and Spreitzer (1991) stated that when a manager does not gi...

    It is well established reality that organisations in the world today can no longer survive without focusing on their employees. If they have to be at the competitive edge they have to invest in human resource, and placing their employees on top priority. This notion has lead to the strategies that, most organisations are pursuing through employee management. To achieve the optimum performance from employees organisations must motivate their employees, and have to engage them in activities that will benefit and help employees in achieving their predetermined goals and objectives. In order to achieve this, it is imperative for managers to set in motion work conditions that will help employees to achieve satisfaction of their job, low turnover and absenteeism rate and promoting the environment that promotes the organizational commitments and organizational citizenship behavior. Job satisfaction has been identified as a major requirement for organisations which aim to achieve excellence in their operations.

By extension, job satisfaction will mean positive or favourable attitudes towards one’s job whilst a negative or unfavourable attitude indicates job dissatisfaction.

    Ever since I was young, I have always tried to be friendly and sympathetic- to bring someone to smile an extra time in their day. Throughout my junior and senior year, I was captain of my high school's tennis team. For four weekends, one every month, our team held a tryout tournament. I worked the tournament desk, and greeted the incoming freshman, along with their parents, both with worried looks on their faces. Sitting there at the desk, I reminisced on the nerves I felt that dreaded day of tryouts, so every child that came to the desk to check in, I introduced myself, and welcomed them to the tournament. It was clear to see that I eased their nerves. Even if it lasted only for a second, I knew that my welcoming them helped them feel more at home at seemingly nerve racking event.
