Modification Value

Modification value of technology has been studied for centuries (Babbage, 1835). Machines were expected to be maintained to the extent that they were capable so that organizations could retrieve the money that they spent to acquire the equipment. If modifications were conducted, they were done only to the extent that it was less costly than replacing the equipment. Modification of people within the context of the five values model is to look at how the person grows and changes not only through activities provided by the organization, but also activities that people use for self-development including education that may or may not align with their current jobs. The key for the organization is to understand that some employees want to grow and change and how do they adjust to these employees’ need or convince the employees to adapt their new knowledge to the goals of the organization if feasible. The purpose of this chapter is to: (1) introduce the concept of modification value; and (2) compare technology modification value including upgrades to equipment, slight modifications, and investment to ensure value is derived from the piece of equipment to people modification value, which includes growth and change, job enrichment, and organization development.

Despite the active development of this type of tourism, there is still no consensus regarding the interpretation of the essence of educational tourism and its concept.

The concept of education using an evolutional-activity approach is presented. This approach resolves the problem of continuous self-development of specialists in their professional activity. The conformity of their evolution to individual and social changing needs is supported by development of skills for reliable generation of a new valuable knowledge in the right time and in the right place of the professional space. This new knowledge becomes a basis for generation of time- and energy-effective engineering solutions, including unique ones. The novelty of the proposed approach comes from the establishment of an axiomatic basis. The core categories of the basis are activity classes. The whole conceptual framework and fundamental laws are represented as consequences of initial axioms and postulates of the basis. This approach allows the higher education pedagogy to overcome the conceptual crisis, which resulted from the variety of existing conceptual frameworks.

The model of a modern University is characterized by the formalization of its activities within the framework of implementing specific educational programs through the educational process and focusing on the final result in the form of a competitive specialist. As a result, the universal values, the spirit of participation in the acquisition of new knowledge, which were present in previous generations of universities, are leveled. However, the students’ needs in their personal development remain at the present time. This leads to the search for new forms and the use of new technologies to meet this need. Based on the research, the authors propose a Lectures model as one of these forms, which includes scientific and methodological, practice-oriented and personal-development components. This is where the spirit of the University as an element of Higher education, the tasks of the University as an educational organization to train competitive specialists and the needs of the individual in self-development can be realized. Considering the development of information and educational technologies, it is necessary to apply them actively in the already available instruments of the Higher School. The educational process should become interesting, interactive, covering various aspects of the studied disciplines as much as possible. But at the same time, the educational process should not lose its main purpose - the formation of new knowledge and the upbringing of a socially active and positive personality. Taking into account the development of science and technology it is these two components that the Lectures are directed towards.

In human resource accounting, personnel recruitment cost is an important issue. High turnover of employees triggers this charge. This research focused on the non-financial issue in employee turnovers for various professions. This study examines the effect of job enrichment, a self-development process on the working environment, to the employee’s engagement and organizational commitment, as well as the intention to quit in a different profession. The respondents of this research are 154 workers who have worked at their institution for at least two years. Using moderate regression analysis and testing two models, the first with linear regression, and the second with moderate regression analysis, this research shows that in the first model, job enrichment and employee engagement affect organizational commitment directly. However, in the second model, this study shows that employee engagement cannot moderate the effect of job enrichment on organizational commitment or the intention to quit. This research also finds that employee engagement affects negatively the intention to quit at work. The research findings strengthen the theory that a self-development process capable of generating employee engagement can assist management in controlling employee turnover rates.

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) refers to individual behavior that is discretionary, not directly or explicitly recognized by the formal reward system, and in the aggregate, promotes the effi- cient and effective functioning of the organization. It can be further broken down to seven dimensions: Helping behavior, Sportsmanship, Organizational Loyalty, Organizational Compliance, Individual Initiative, Civic Virtue and Self Development. In this paper, the authors examine whether Transforma- tional Leadership, Vertical Job Enrichment and Cognitive Evaluation can be associated with OCB and give plausible explanations for such behavior in a Christian nonprofit organization. The empirical data investigated here is a quantitative survey of work environment among employees in Normisjon in 2013. Normisjon is a large Norwegian organization for Christian mission, organized through 13 na- tional regions and a central office, with both national and international involvement. The survey has a response-number (N) of 235, which is a response-rate of 79%. The study is a reanalysis of existing data, gathered for a slightly different purpose. This fact has demanded a serious work on operationali- zation, and also revealed some blind, and unavailable, spots of knowledge due to the hypotheses. Out of the seven dimensions valid measures for Helping Behavior and Organizational Loyalty were found. Subsequent to operationalization of questions in relation to theories and hypotheses, data was pro- cessed in search of univariate descriptive information and bivariate correlations. Despite the men- tioned challenges, progress was made and knowledge acquired with convincing certainty. Some of the hypotheses were approved, especially the ones related to Organizational Loyalty.
