Author(s):  
Eugene Kluzniacky

Largely because of the potential for Internet connectivity, the area of electronic commerce has been proliferating since the start of the century. In this context, IT professionals are being counted on to provide central and impactful systems with a capacity for competitive advantage. In other areas of intense IT usage, we have also seen increasing emphasis on systems with critical impact. There is a need to be original and creative, yet precise and timely. The more IT workers produce, the more is demanded of them. A number of sources are highlighting the reality of impending and widespread IT burnout. Thus, IT management is faced with the imperative of eliciting high-quality work from an overburdened workforce. To aid in this endeavor, it is here suggested that development of multi-dimensional psychological awareness among those managing and those managed be given serious consideration.

ABSTRACTThis book examines many aspects of “caring” from a feminist perspective. The authors analyse caring, and the roles that women play within this sphere, in relation to certain socio-economic dimensions particular to women in Canadian society which comprise the cornerstone of the current methodology developed. The eight authors, in turn, each cast original light on the principal theme and the variety of subjects covered makes this publication a pivotal work in the thought and study of women and the taking of responsibility for dependent adults in the family. By questioning the foundations upon which the caring practices of Canadian society rest, the authors lay the groundwork for a critical knowledge which will contribute, in the end, to a greater measure of equality between the sexes. This high quality work is also easily accessible and will interest people who study, teach and work in fields related to the sphere of caregiving.


Human resources with high levels of happiness will impact organizational productivity and performance. Employees spend most of their day working in the organization, so it is obvious that working environment is a significant factor that affects employees' emotional and job performance. The findings of this study showed that working environment highly contributed to the employees’ happiness with a min value of 3.010. Subsequent findings indicated that the quietest working environment influenced workers to produce high quality work. Although the findings showed that the respondents were satisfied with their current working environment, some respondents still expected further improvements in terms of facilities such as healthy food at the cafeteria and extended nursery services from infants to four-year-olds

The France-USA Memorial Hospital in Saint-Lô, Normandy (1948-1965), is known as one of the most relevant French Reconstruction projects. It is the first important work crafted by the French-American architect, Paul Nelson (1895-1979). His humanist approach inspired a series of unprecedented, meaningful and technical architectural innovations. The organization of the new hospital, based on functionality and modernity; polychromic and artistic inclusion; extended high-quality work, notably the "claustra" façade; ovoid surgical rooms and technical equipment are testimonies to the major quality and innovation pursued in the Memorial Hospital project. Paul Nelson’s work brings into focus the rich and comprehensive relationship between architecture, arts and care.
