Introduction: Points based programs are programs offered by service industries to their customers when they make a purchase. In Points based system, frequent customers earn points, which translate into some type of reward: discount, gifts, or special customer treatment, customer purchases toward a certain amount of points to redeem their reward. Purpose: This study sought to establish the influence of point-based program on financial performance of selected firms in the service industry in Kenya. Methodology: The research design adopted descriptive method of the study. The target population was three (3) telecommunication firms (Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom Kenya), 5 supermarkets and 18 Five Star hotels. The study used census survey method for telecommunication firms and all the 18 five-star hotels in Nairobi offering loyalty points and thus there was no sampling. The study used secondary data extracted from financial statements. The researcher used both descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive analysis and trend analysis of the dependent and the independent variable were conducted. Findings: The results showed that point-based program has a positive and significant relationship with financial performance of selected supermarkets in Kenya. Recommendations: The study recommended that it’s imperative for the policy makers such as Communication Authority of Kenya, Tourism Authority of Kenya and the ministry of trade to support the development and usage of point based programs among supermarkets firms in Kenya. This can be done in friendly manner such as avoiding overly broad and strong regulation of the point based programs. In this regard, the government and the law makers should ensure that they involve a variety of point based programs stakeholders in the regulatory process, so that their vision and needs can be fairly balanced with government interests.

Atualmente é preciso reavaliar o comportamento do consumidor e seus modos de consumo, pois buscando contribuir para um mundo mais equilibrado, com menos desperdício e impacto ambiental, percebe-se uma maior conscientização da sociedade acerca do que se consome. Neste sentido, este estudo possui como objetivo analisar o comportamento de consumo sustentável e compreender as similaridades e diferenças do consumo de produtos verdes de acadêmicos dos cursos de Administração de uma universidade brasileira e outra, espanhola. Para tanto, utilizou-se o método survey, com uma amostra caracterizada como não-probabilística e por acessibilidade mediante a aplicação de um questionário, que obteve o retorno de 289 respondentes. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi adaptado do estudo desenvolvido por Biswas e Roy (2015), o qual aborda a teoria dos valores de consumo, composta pelo valor funcional, valor social, valor condicional, valor ambiental e valor conhecimento. Os resultados obtidos revelam que, tanto para os acadêmicos brasileiros, quanto para os espanhóis, os constructos valor condicional e valor ambiental apresentaram as maiores médias, enquanto o constructo valor social apresentou uma média baixa. Também se observou que, por um lado, os estudantes brasileiros são mais propensos a adquirir produtos sustentáveis por sugestão de seus grupos sociais e que estão mais preocupados com o fato de que a escassez dos recursos naturais ameace o futuro das gerações posteriores. Por outro lado, os estudantes espanhóis são mais dispostos a comprar produtos de empresas que investem em questões ambientais. ABSTRACTNowadays it is necessary to reevaluate consumer behavior and consumption modes, as seeking to contribute to a more balanced world, with less waste and environmental impact, there is a greater awareness of society about what is consumed. In this sense, this study aims to analyze the sustainable consumption behavior of academics in Administration courses in Brazil and Spain, through comparative research. For this, the survey method was used, with a sample characterized as non-probabilistic and for accessibility through the application of a questionnaire, which obtained the return of 289 respondents. The data collection instrument was adapted from the study developed by Biswas and Roy (2015), which addresses the theory of consumption values, composed of functional value, social value, conditional value, environmental value, and knowledge value. The results obtained reveal that, for both Brazilian and Spanish academics, the conditional value and environmental value constructs had the highest averages, while the social value construct had a low average. It was also noted that, on the one hand, Brazilian students are more likely to purchase sustainable products at the suggestion of their social groups and that they are more concerned that the scarcity of natural resources threatens the future of later generations. On the other hand, Spanish students are more willing to buy products from companies that invest in environmental issues.

This paper focuses on determining the influence of sales territory design on salesforce performance in the detergent manufacturing companies in Kenya. Detergents play a critical role in our everyday lives by ensuring hygiene at our personal level, in our homes, in schools, institutions, and hospitals. Detergents have gained a lot of prominence since the onset of the Corona Virus (COVID-19) disease in 2019, as it has been proved that they play an important role in curtailing the transmission of the COVID-19 disease. The Salesforce plays an important role in organizations as they are the ones who in most cases interact with customers, provide information about their organization and products, provide prices, demonstrate how products are used, train customers, provide after sales service, and resolve any issues that may arise. The study was anchored on Expectancy Theory, Resource Based Theory, Equity Theory, and Agency Theory. The study adopted positivism philosophy and used a descriptive cross sectional design. The unit of analysis was the sales people in the detergent manufacturing companies in Kenya who are members of Kenya Association of Manufacturers as per list obtained from KAM in December 2018. The study used primary data which was collected by administering semi-structured questionnaires. The data was analyzed using a combination of both descriptive and inferential statics to describe the manifestations of the variables in the data collected, simple regression model was used to test the significance of the influence of sales territory design (independent variable) on the salesforce performance (dependent variable). Fischer distribution test (F-test) was used to test the significance of the independent variable and the overall model. The p-value for the F-statistic was used to determine the robustness of the model. This was done at 95% confidence level (p<0.05). The study found a strong relationship between sales territory design and salesforce performance. This depicts that sales territory design is critical in determining salesforce performance in detergent manufacturing companies in Kenya.

Human Emotions

In order for humans and robots to interact in an effective and instinctive manner, robots must obtain information about the human emotional state in response to the robots actions. This is important as the presence of robot in manufacturing industry is very wide and robot plays a big role in the emerging of automation manufacturing technology. Consequently, we believed that it is necessary to investigate how human feel about this situation and if robot can understand those human emotions, collaboration with human can be much better. In order to investigate the human emotions, we applied akanseisurvey method based on akanseiengineering technology. We request a number of participants to take part in our experiment where they will be in the same environment of where a robot is working on some tasks. The participants will answer those questions in the survey based on what they feel about working together with moving robot. The overall goal is, in fact, to predict in which area in the vicinity of the robot that the human is heading to, especially in term of humans feeling, so that by understanding how human feels of working together with robots, perhaps we can create a better working environment. This paper describes the results of our findings about how human feel when collaborating with robot (s).

Dental Work

Work-related musculoskeletal (MS) disorders are considered one of the most frequent occupational diseases among dental workers. Dental work consists of static, demanding tasks that involve repeated gripping of small-sized instruments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of MS pain, the areas of pain, and the risk factors for MS pain in dental workers. A self-administrated questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument for dental workers who voluntarily responded to the invitation. To determine the prevalence and severity location of MS pain, the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire was administered among 87 dental workers, with a total of 79.8%, who reported at least one MS complaint. MS pain occurred in 82.6% of general dentists, 75.0% of dental specialists, 66.7% of dental assistants, and 33.3% of dental technicians. Pain most frequently occurred in the neck (60.7%), upper back (52.4%), right shoulder (44.0%), lower back (41.7%), hips/buttocks (29.8%), and the right wrist (23.8%). The prevalence of pain among dental workers could be reduced by ergonomic working environment, regular breaks, maintenance of health, and performing specific exercises designed to dental workers.
