Factors Affecting The Work Motivation Of BSBA Graduates Employed In Carcanmadcarlan: A Survey

Motivating employees is a way to make them give their best to the organization for the achievement of organizational goals. But choosing the strategy for motivation may differ from time to time and organization to organization because it is a psychological sensation and it is depending on the preference of employees. The study attempted to identify the intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting the work motivation of BSBA Graduates working in different institutions here in the CarCanMadCarLan area. With a view to collect primary data, and adopted a questionnaire from the Republic of Macedonia (Employee Satisfaction Survey, 2009) was provided to 40 respondents. The study identified 11 broad categories of motivation factors such as (1) management, (2) employee competence, (3) training opportunities in the organization, (4) premises and technical working conditions, (5) remuneration, (6) relationships between employees, (7) workload, (8) influence, (9) responsibility, (10) trust and finally (11) image of the organization. The study found that intrinsic factors have a significantly higher impact on the employee’s motivation than extrinsic factors. Finally, the study concluded that the BSBA employees working in different institutions are adequately motivated. On the basis of these findings, implications of the finding for future study were stated.

This study aims to analyze the performance of employees at the Department of Communication and Information Makassar. The method used in this research is to use qualitative research methods. Data processing procedures in this study use primary data processing sourced from interviews and secondary data processing through theoretical analysis sourced from books, reports, photos, data and observations. The results showed that the results of interviews and observations can be concluded that the ability of employees at the Department of Communication and Information Makassar measured as based on knowledge and skills are still in the category of good enough to support employee performance. Employees understand the work and can finish it in a timely manner. Employee work motivation at the Makassar City Office of Communication and Information in achieving employee performance measured by intrinsic factors (Personal Maturity and Job Satisfaction) and extrinsic factors (Work Environment, Compensation, and Supervision) are in quite good category. Work relations that are established are considered quite close among fellow employees, exemplary leaders who are considered capable of providing motivation. There are still employees who have never attended training in both the leadership and functional technical divisions, therefore it is necessary to immediately provide skills training to employees. It is hoped that employees will more often be given the opportunity to attend training and education. Employees' work motivation at the Makassar City Office of Communication and Information which is categorized as good also did not go unnoticed. Efforts to create a good work environment still need to be improved, especially inadequate compensation. It is hoped that leaders will pay more attention in motivating employees to achieve organizational performance.

In the last decades, the word 'innovation' can be heard more and more on the entrepreneurial side. It has a crucial role in satisfying the customers, competition with other companies, and increasing the turnover of the enterprises. SME's economic performance is directly affecting the national budget. Still, there is not a precise method of assessing and improving the innovation process at neither firm nor national level. The paper aims to analyze the current innovative performance of Moldovan SMEs. The analysis will explore factors affecting enterprise innovation. It will determine how the existing innovation ecosystem affects the one in an enterprise, and what methods should be applied to improve innovation as well as the ecosystem. To gain insight, the study conducted an email survey of 150 companies, which were the object for research in the Republic of Moldova. The primary purpose of the study is to emphasize the importance of innovation issues related to increasing SME's competitiveness, in connection with presenting the theoretical aspects in the field, proving basic concepts and quantifying them in the study of innovation as well as various forms, types, and factors influencing innovative organizations. The objective of these enterprise questionnaires is to accumulate substantial and reliable information that is significant to responding to the fundamental research questions. Methodological tools of the research methods were the tools for statistical analysis based on using primary data from the questionnaire research. The reference period for statistical research was 2013 and 2017. The author collected the data between August and September 2018 based on questionnaires filled in on paper or sent through the email by the enterprises included in the research. The results of the study provide the following insights: product innovation is the primary innovation type among Moldovan SMEs; the country lacks financial resources for innovation support. Also, Moldova's weak innovation ecosystem and lack of highly qualified workers slow down the development of enterprises. At the end of the thesis, several recommendations for enterprise managers as well as high-level government organizations were provided.

AbstractParasitism in wild mammals can vary according to myriad intrinsic and extrinsic factors, many of which vary seasonally. However, seasonal variation in parasitism is rarely studied using repeated samples from known individuals. Here we used a wild population of individually recognized red deer (Cervus elaphus) on the Isle of Rum to quantify seasonality and intrinsic factors affecting gastrointestinal helminth parasitism over the course of a year. We collected 1020 non-invasive faecal samples from 328 known individuals which we then analysed for propagules of three helminth taxa: strongyle nematodes, the common liver flukeFasciola hepaticaand the tissue nematodeElaphostrongylus cervi. Zero-inflated Poisson models were used to investigate how season, age and sex were associated with parasite prevalence and count intensity, while Poisson models were used to quantify individual repeatability within and between sampling seasons. Parasite intensity and prevalence varied according to all investigated factors, with opposing seasonality, age profiles and sex biases between parasite taxa. Repeatability was moderate, decreased between seasons and varied between parasites; bothF. hepaticaandE. cervishowed significant between-season repeatability, while strongyle nematode counts were only repeatable within-season and showed no repeatability within individuals across the year.

This research is aimed to identify and comparatively assess the motivation factors influencing labor productivity from the construction employees’ perception. Based on results of a filled-in and returned questionnaire distributed among 350 workers and managers from 25 construction companies throughout the Republic of Azerbaijan, motivation and demotivation factors were identified. The statistical analysis of motivation drivers showed that most important ones for all construction employees are remuneration (including its timely payment), job security, bonuses, and fringe benefits. Among top demotivators for all types of employees are unsafe work conditions, underpayment, and colleagues’ aggressive management style. Workers are also affected by bad treatment by managers and changing on workmates. While workers are more concerned with quality of site management and good relations with colleagues, managers are more motivated by responsible job and challenging tasks and demotivated by chaos and incompetent colleagues. Thus, according to the study, both economic and non-economic motivation and demotivation drivers occurred to be important for construction employees, and must be accounted by human resource (HR) officers. The results of the research would assist construction companies’ management in developing more precise and employee-oriented human resources strategies and policies.

Dynamic Structures

Microtubules (MTs), highly dynamic structures composed of α- and β-tubulin heterodimers, are involved in cell movement and intracellular traffic and are essential for cell division. Within the cell, MTs are not uniform as they can be composed of different tubulin isotypes that are post-translationally modified and interact with different microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). These diverse intrinsic factors influence the dynamics of MTs. Extrinsic factors such as microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) can also affect MT dynamics. MTAs can be divided into two main categories: microtubule-stabilizing agents (MSAs) and microtubule-destabilizing agents (MDAs). Thus, the MT skeleton is an important target for anticancer therapy. This review discusses factors that determine the microtubule dynamics in normal and cancer cells and describes microtubule–MTA interactions, highlighting the importance of tubulin isoform diversity and post-translational modifications in MTA responses and the consequences of such a phenomenon, including drug resistance development.

Adhesive Proteins

Many protein-based materials, such as soy and mussel adhesive proteins, have been the subject of scientific and commercial interest. Recently, a variety of protein adhesives have been isolated from diverse sources such as insects, frogs and squid ring teeth. Many of these adhesives have similar amino acid compositions to elastomeric proteins such as elastin. Although elastin is widely investigated for a structural biomaterial, little work has been done to assess its adhesive potential. In this study, recombinant elastin-like polypeptides were created to probe the factors affecting adhesion strength. Lap shear adhesion was used to examine the effects of both extrinsic factors (pH, concentration, cross-linker, humidity, cure time and cure temperature) and intrinsic factors (protein sequence, structure and molecular weight). Of the extrinsic factors tested, only humidity, cure time and cure temperature had a significant effect on adhesion strength. As water content was reduced, adhesion strength increased. Of the intrinsic factors tested, amino acid sequence did not significantly affect adhesion strength, but less protein structure and higher molecular weights increased adhesion strength directly. The strengths of proteins in this study (greater than 2 MPa) were comparable to or higher than those of two commercially available protein-based adhesives, hide glue and a fibrin sealant. These results may provide general rules for the design of adhesives from elastomeric proteins.

Recruitment And Selection

Abstract Many organisations recognizes the use of human resource as a major influence to their success. And with today’s competitive environment, it is imperative for organisations to find ways to be more effective and efficient in utilizing their resources so as to improve their general performance. Hence, there is need to recruit and retain highly qualified and motivated employees in order to remain competitive in the unstable environment. This study evaluates the relationship between recruitment practices, employee motivation and their impact on organisational performance focusing on the Nigerian banking industry, with a view to investigating factors that motivate employees of Nigerian banks and the methods banks adopt to motivate their employees. The study also assesses recruitment and selection methods used by Nigerian banks to select effective employees. The study is a cross-sectional in time and the primary data collected from a conveniently selected sample of 60 employees each of the seven selected banks. Face-to-face survey and interview was carried out in order to achieve the research objectives and back up theoretical findings. Using correlation and thematic analysis, the results indicated that there was a strong positive relationship between employee motivation, recruitment practices and organisational performance. Findings from the analysis identified that bank employees are mostly extrinsically motivated; although intrinsic factors also motivate them, it is not as motivating as extrinsic factors. The banks also provide more of extrinsic motivators to increase the performance of their employees. The banks make use of various methods of employee selection, by dividing the methods into stages. In addition, recruiting is mostly undertaken through recruitment agencies or advert placements. The study provides future recommendations that banks in Nigeria should be firmer in their selection processes; this will allow them to identify unsuitable applicants and make room for effective employees who will improve the efficiency of the bank and be motivated. At the same time, this research also suggests that the bank should provide more accessible motivational incentives for its employees in order to boost their performance because unmotivated employees are of no use to any organisation.
