The aim of this study is to assess the state of institutional excellence and the major opportunities and challenges facing it. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used the descriptive approach and designed a questionnaire as a tool to study and distribute it to a sample of 30 decision makers from the directors and the heads of departments in three institutions of the Jordanian government sector. The main findings of the study   are the following:There were no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α0.05) in the impact of institutional excellence and its six dimensions (leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, measurement, analysis and knowledge management, focus on human resources and focus on internal processes) on improving institutional performance through the satisfaction of the recipients of services from citizens from the point of view of managers in Jordanian government institutions.The main recommendations of the study were: the necessity of commitment and focus on excellence in strategic planning, which contributes to the development of solutions and alternatives that weaken the institutional performance and reduce the level of satisfaction of service recipients from citizens, and seek to maximize the basis of benefit gained on the principle of increased fees and evaluation through the development of flexible financial plans.

The Impact

Minimizing the impact of electronic waste (e-waste) on the environment through designing an effective reverse supply chain (RSC) is attracting the attention of both industry and academia. To obtain this goal, this study strives to develop an e-waste RSC model where the input parameters are fuzzy and risk factors are considered. The problem is then solved through crisp transformation and decision-makers are given the right to choose solutions based on their satisfaction. The result shows that the proposed model provides a practical and satisfactory solution to compromise between the level of satisfaction of constraints and the objective value. This solution includes strategic and operational decisions such as the optimal locations of facilities (i.e., disassembly, repairing, recycling facilities) and the flow quantities in the RSC.

And Training

The level of awareness and acceptance of the need to enhance volume and intensity of investment in education and in-house training is increasing. This phenomenon stems from the following facts: the aging of the European societies; an intense technological and organizational progress; and a noticeable process of extension of the scope and length of professional and personal development and activity; accompanied with employees' expectations for better quality of life. The increase in the level of acceptance of the need for increased investment in education and training of employees is accompanied by new challenges, including, in the first place, the need to redefine the approach to investment in training and to the evaluation of its results. The „High-Efficiency‟ point of view, alongside the assessment of the advisability of investment in education and training within a company, raises the need to move away from the traditional system of input oriented financing (i.e. financing resources) and to move towards output oriented funding (i.e. financing results). In other words, instead of paying for teaching, companies want to pay for teaching results. This means that the companies which finance education and training, rise - in the process of assessing the training results – fundamental questions about the improvement of the efficiency of the company; and how an increase in the qualifications of workers facilitates the achievement of organizational objectives. On the other hand, the training results assessment from the participant‟s point of view includes a question about the efficiency of the supplier of educational and training programs, and whether the supplier is able to achieve the promised results. The existing business reality is that the efficiency and effectiveness assessments often do not go beyond the survey measuring the level of satisfaction and self-esteem of the participants. This, in turn, causes a visible quantitative pressures, accompanied by insufficient care for quality and inability to use modern techniques to measure the impact of education and training on business performance. As a result, many entrepreneurs treat the investment in training and education of their employees solely as an expense and a disruption of operations. This is due to the fact that managers do not see a direct effect of the investments on the performance of the company. In addition, managers fear possible hazards in the form of expense claims; loss of trained personel to competitors‟ companies, or excessive self-empowerment of the employee. The study is devoted to presentation and discussion of modern techniques measuring the effectiveness of investment in education and training. The list of methods includes an analysis based on objectives, the targeted evaluation, systemic evaluation, judicial evaluation, and assessment prior to the program.

ONTARE. REVISTA DE INVESTIGACIÓN DE LA FACULTAD DE INGENIERÍAEste artículo abarca dos estrategias diferentes para que una ciudad como Bogotá, logre el manejo sostenible integral de residuos sólidos. No es un estado fácil de lograr, debido a que requiere tener en consideración condiciones ambientales, sociales y económicas. El Análisis del Ciclo de Vida (ACV) funciona como una herramienta para guiar a las personas que toman decisiones hacia una solución sostenible. El ACV se utilizó para analizar el manejo de los residuos sólidos en Bogotá y se presentan dos escenarios específicos: la destrucción térmica del biogás del relleno sanitario y la introducción de un nuevo esquema de reciclaje basado en la separación desde la fuente. Los resultados del análisis realizado por Gómez (2004), muestran que aunque el potencial de calentamiento global se debe al impacto del biogás emitido, la toxicidad persistente es ocasionada en mayor grado, por la perspectiva de la sostenibilidad. Para el caso del esquema de reciclaje, los resultados muestran que los recuperadores o recicladores, necesitan participar activamente en el nuevo esquema, con el fin de reducir los posibles impactos y mejorar la aceptación social del proyecto.  ABSTRACT  This article looks upon two different strategies for a city like Bogotá to achieve Sustainable integrated solid waste management. This is not an easy state to achieve, since it requires taking into consideration environmental, social and economical conditions. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) works as a tool for decision-makers to guide them to a sustainable solution. LCA was used to analyse solid waste management in Bogotá and two specific scenarios are presented, landfill gas flaring and the introduction of a new recycling scheme based on source separation. The results of the assessment done by Gomez (2004) show that although the Global Warming Potential is a very important impact from the emitted gas, Persistent Toxicity is the impact with the highest relevance and importance from the sustainability point of view. In the case of the recycling scheme, the results point out that scavengers need to participate in the new scheme in order to reduce the possible impacts and improve the acceptability of the project.

The Impact

It is difficult for decision-makers to evaluate the impact of their territorial policies. Aspects to be considered in this evaluation include those relating to humans, environment protection and industry development. Two reasons explain the difficulty: decision-makers cannot specialise in all domains implied in the process of decision and there is no simple tool allowing questions such as “what would happen if…” to be easily answered. Our work addresses this problem in the domain of water management at a catchment scale and consists in evaluating water balances. We have developed a software framework allowing simulation scenarios to be easily run and results about outlet flow and groundwater variation to be easily interpreted. In this paper, we study anthropogenic scenarios consisting in modifying the land cover at different scales: parcel, slopes or catchment. The simulation is supported by a methodology allowing catchment models to be built up using a hierarchical and modular approach based on components formalised by sequential machines. Few modelling parameters are necessary because our purpose is not to build up a “perfect” model to represent a catchment from a hydrological point of view but to illustrate the impact of climatic changes or anthropogenic activities on water balance. The simulation interface allows climatic data files to be selected to compare various scenarios. It allows the land-use to be easily modified to understand the impact of anthropogenic activities on water from a quantitative point of view. Modelling and results of simulation are illustrated on a catchment located in the area of Cévennes (South of France).
