<span>The objective of this research is to find, if there exists some correlation between self<span> actualization scores of faculty with student’s faculty’s evaluation scores.. The study is based<span> upon the instrument that measures self actualization score, a questionnaire designed by Dr.<span> Richard Boyum and the standard student’s feedback proforma. The faculty’s self actualization<span> and student’s evaluation scores are compared using regression and correlation analysis, a scatter<span> dot diagram is also used for the same purpose. The result concludes, that no significant<span> correlation exists between faculty’s self actualization level and student’s faculty’s evaluation.<span> Whereas separate analysis of surveys concludes that senior faculty (Senior Fellows and Head of<span> Academic departments) are higher self actualized than younger faculty and students. The study<span> recommends that faculty evaluation should be summation of student’s, peer, self and<span> management’s evaluation. Also, while hiring a new faculty, self actualization level should also<span> be a criteria for selection. The young faculty level of self actualization can improve with support<span> and better environment.<br /><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>

It is commonly thought that the promotion of faculty members is affected by their research performance. The current study is unique in examining how academic faculty members perceive the harm or damage to academic appointment and promotion processes, as a direct effect of student evaluations as manifested in teaching surveys. One hundred eighty two questionnaires were collected from senior faculty members at academic institutions. Most respondents were from three institutions: Ariel University, Ben Gurion University, and the Jezreel Valley College. Qualitative and statistical research tools were utilized, with the goal of forming a model reflecting the effect of the harm to academic appointment and promotion processes, as perceived by faculty members. The research findings show that the lecturers find an association that causes harm to their promotion processes as a result of student evaluations. Assuming that students' voices and their opinion of teaching are important – the question is how should these evaluations be treated within promotion and appointment processes: what and whom do they indicate? Do they constitute a reliable managerial tool with which it is possible to work as a foundation for promotion and appointment processes – or should other tools be developed, unrelated to students' opinions?

At Simon Fraser University, continuing education activities are developed and administered by the division of Continuing Studies working in association with the university's academic departments. The Applied Sciences Program, a Continuing Studies unit, was formed in early 1986 to parallel the new Faculty of Applied Sciences established in 1985 in a major reorganization of the University. This faculty is composed of the Schools of Computing Science, Kinesiology and Engineering Science plus the Department of Communication and the Natural Resources Management Program. The article focuses on the School of Engineering Science and their collaborative work with industry in continuing education.

Theoretically, financial incentives motivate the employee to improve performance but also found empirical evidence that shows the financial incentives are often inversely proportional (Young and Lewis 1995; Jenkins et al 1998). Base on the phenomena is interesting to look more at the meaning of incentives for Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) in the performance improvements. This study uses an interdisciplinary perspective of management accounting, psychology, and spirituality and borrows psychological needs and spiritual theories to see the motivation of CRM in improving performance based on their needs. The method used is a case study with an interpretive approach. Qualitative data is obtained by conducting interviews with several CRM in one of a commercial bank. The results of this study found there are other meanings of incentives for CRM. These meanings are inclined about security, loyalty, and accountability for their work, the meaning of appreciation, self-actualization, and spiritual which defeats the meaning of basic needs. The meanings that arise not depending on the period of work or position but more on the awareness of each. Understanding these meanings can be taken into consideration in making the right incentive scheme for employees. So that, incentives can really motivate employees to improve their performance.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze how selected senior instructors in physical therapist educational programs define and seek to impart information on professional behavior. Methods: A qualitative case study approach was used to gather data from eight instructors teaching in four physical therapist educational programs in a selected region. Each interview was analyzed as an individual case study, followed by a cross case analysis to identify common themes. Results: Interpretational analysis using a process of constant comparison revealed nine common themes: 1) Instructors found it difficult to broadly define professional behavior. 2) Instructors expect students to be on time. 3) Instructors expect students to speak and act with courtesy and respect. 4) Instructors expect students to communicate appropriately. 5) Instructors expect students to dress appropriately. 6) Instructors expect students to participate in class. 7) Instructors consciously model professional behavior as a way to communicate their expectations. 8) Instructors give instructions and provide students with feedback about professional behavior. 9) Instructors do not attach a specific grade to professional behavior. Conclusions: Although instructors indicated a lack of confidence in consistency regarding professional behavior expectations, the themes that emerged in this study fit within existing descriptions of professional behavior for clinical physical therapists. Instructor perceptions of strategies for conveying information about professional behavior to students were consistent with existing literature on modeling and explicit teaching. .

Abstract This study explains millennial and Gen-Z attitudes, perspectives, and behaviors in implementing the eco-office concept. As a qualitative method study, the study uses primary data through semi-structured interviews and secondary data collected from reports, public/private publications, and census results, using the Yin case study model as data analysis. The study results reveal that the biggest challenge in implementing new policies is self-thinking. Leaders, as change agents, play an essential role in penetrating messages that make them act pro-environment. The reward system will be very effective, especially providing satisfaction for self-actualization. The findings of this study have implications for policymakers as input. For example, the results show that social media plays a crucial role in increasing environmental awareness. In addition, simple shifts such as electronic media use at work will cut the file chain, making it more effective and favored by young people. They understand the consequences of their actions on the environment and have the education, motivation, and social awareness to participate in the green movement. However, beliefs and actions are not fully integrated, and investigating and understanding their behavior and unique needs in the workplace will lead employees to integrate and succeed together to support the environment.

Numerous leak detection systems (LDS) using a variety of technologies are on the market. Since LDS are designed for a particular use, then the evaluation and selection process requires suitable metrics and involvement from all stakeholders. This paper proposes to use15 criteria for selection of LDS. Each criterion is first rated for their importance by a number of experts. Then, the same experts are asked to rate a list of candidate LDSs. Fuzzy TOPSIS is used to aggregate Experts’ judgment. A case study is presented to demonstrate the application of the method. This method would indicate how a good compromise might look like. This could aid the decision-maker to weigh options and set priority and decide on a system.

A number of previous authors have identified concerns about a shortage of future PhD graduates to assume recreational therapy (RT) faculty positions to educate future recreational therapists and contribute to the profession’s body of knowledge. While some recreational therapists have decided to pursue their terminal degrees and assume faculty positions, there is relatively little information to guide those transitioning from graduate student to new faculty member. Drawing upon the experiences of senior faculty reported in the literature as well as our own experiences, this article presents a series of tips to help those recreational therapists transitioning from practice to strategically navigate the beginning of new faculty careers. These tips cover careers across the spectrum of types of institutions of higher education.

Prior to basic education with an age range of 6 or 7, and 8 or 9 years was a vulnerable period of cognitive, psychological, and emotional development. Children need education that can form good character and can reflect Christian values in their lives. The shift in the pattern of parental education as the first educational environment due to busy parents allows the lack of inculcation of character in the family environment. Schools become the foundation of hope for the formation of children's character in preparing generations in the millennial era. In the education process, indicators of success in learning methods are students enthusiastic about the lesson, happy, a change in thinking and attitudes of the learner's own will. Humans have a tendency for self-actualization because humans move forward to perfection or potential. Each individual has the creative ability to solve the problem. Religious humanist education contains two educational concepts that we want to integrate, namely humanist education and religious education. Integrating these two educational concepts with the aim of being able to build an education system that can shape the character of millennial generation through Christian Education. This type of research is an intrinsic case study (Intrinsic case study). Researchers focus on one particular object and are appointed as a case for in-depth study. so as to discover the reality behind the phenomenon. Based on the results of the analysis it is known that religious humanist education in Christian education has linear compounds, so the formation of the character of children, especially in this millennium era will be very tested when the religious humanist approach to Christian education can be actually carried out by educators and or educational institutions (Christian).
