Productivity and outstanding output are achieved only if employees of an organization are managed properly. Such management is the enhancement of their capabilities and expertise, giving these workers motivation, thus attaining job satisfaction and excellent organizational results. This study presents a literature review on the importance of technical training and professional development of the employees towards organizational growth. In technical related works, training is a one-way for the employees to grow their based-knowledge and improve professional skills to become more effective in their chosen field of interest, a pathway for them to be the key asset in contributing positive outcomes to their respective organization.

Governance of heritage. Challenges of a community strengthen by its heritage.

It is crucial to review cases where heritage works as a means of empowering sustainable communities through participative governance and learn from these mechanisms. This paper aims to explore the lessons of participative governance in Agua Blanca, a small village located on the Ecuadorian coast, where heritage -archeological remains and dry tropical forests- constitutes the primary resource. The approach is qualitative, and the methods were archive analysis, observation, and open interviews. The villagers lead participative management that is based on equality of the access and distribution of resources. Through this vision, collective economic benefits from their heritage are achieved. Besides, the dwellers reinforce their identity through their cultural and natural heritage, which contributes to its preservation. Nevertheless, Agua Blanca faces challenges as the indifference of younger generations, territorial segregation, and the lack of relationships with government organisms. To confront these obstacles, it is recognized that the community is not a stable and permanent system but rather a set of difficulties that are overcome through inclusive governance mechanisms that evolve in the face of new necessities.

Matijaner Meyera in Translation: Cultural Identity Construction Through Untranslatability of Language

The concepts of language and cultural identity of a speaker are entwined as they complement each other. However, translation poses a challenge to the identity language predominantly constructs. Therefore, translatable elements of language get the stage of universality while the untranslatable-s essentially bring forth the culture they are descended from. In this study, a short story collection from Bangladesh, Matijaner Meyera, where there is a celebration of diverse branches of Bengali language, has been brought to light to show how untranslatability of a number of culture-oriented vocabularies vibrantly tells about Bengali culture. The primary resource includes a lot many culture-oriented vocabularies as well as few phrases that English, as a language, cannot accommodate in it. Inability of other languages to penetrate such culture-rooted belongings of Bengali language showcases the power a language retains to protect itself from any invading force. This study has argued in favor of the untranslatable base of Bengali that English, due to cultural distance, cannot embrace linguistically. Therefore, such cultural difference eventually develops a distinct linguistic identity of Bengali through untranslatability that this study has attempted to divulge.

Online Resources for Dance (Intermediate)

The activity described in this chapter is centered on learning dance and uses YouTube as a primary resource. YouTube can help supplement a teacher’s instruction to more effectively communicate a wide array of styles. The activity builds on a relatively traditional procedure of modeling, except that it gives learners more flexibility in terms of time usage, scheduling, as well as an opportunity to experiment with various ideas. It also gives learners a level of authority over what, when, and how they learn after the teacher’s initial introduction. The lessons outlined were born from a desire to better represent the diversity of styles that exist in various regions of Kenya. By using YouTube, lessons are not limited to the knowledge of the teacher and as a result, students can have more freedom in what they learn.

A Cognitive Uncoupling: Masculinity Threats and the Rejection of Relationship Interdependence

What happens when a primary resource people draw from in times of need is at odds with maintaining a threatened, yet valued, identity? Four studies ( N total = 806) examined whether men cognitively disengage from romantic relationships following masculinity threats. As hypothesized, romantically attached men reported less closeness, commitment, and interdependence in their romantic relationships (Study 1), and both single and romantically attached men expressed less positive commitment beliefs (Study 2) following masculinity threats. Supporting a strategy of distancing from interdependence to protect masculinity, perceivers evaluated men who used more interdependent language to describe their relationships as less masculine and more feminine (Studies 3a and 3b). However, exhibiting less interdependence did not restore third-party evaluations of masculinity following a public masculinity threat (Study 3b). Thus, subverting relationship interdependence to protect perceptions of masculinity is an ineffective strategy for restoring masculinity in the eyes of others and may cause unnecessary strain on relationships.

Wisdom in Isaiah

The history of research on wisdom in Isaiah reveals the story of what scholars initially understood to be two separate domains—wisdom and prophecy—becoming intertwined. As the prophetic book most infiltrated by the wisdom tradition, the book of Isaiah has been the primary resource for probing the nature of the relationship between prophecy and wisdom. For the most part, studies on wisdom in Isaiah focus narrowly on the prophet’s social location in relationship to wisdom or on wisdom in one section of the book (Isa 1–39 or 40–55). In conjunction with the concern within scholarship on Isaiah to understand the book as a unity, this chapter offers an overview of wisdom across the major sections of the book, with an eye toward similarities and differences between sections and diachronic questions that emerge from a synchronic reading.

Extending Social Resource Exchange to Events of Abunance and Sufficiency

This chapter synthesizes SRT and SAS-theory, enabling SRT to analyze abundance and sufficiency in tandem with scarcity for analyzing resource exchange. First, we outline how SRT rests on an assumption of scarcity as the primary resource state causing exchange motivations and the problems caused by that assumption. Second, we used SAS-theory to formalize Scarcity, Abundance and Sufficiency (SAS) in an agnostic manner, tying them to different behavioral strategies that individuals use when engaging with a specific resource state. Third, we formalize the relation between individual and systemic level SAS. This relation is influenced by entitlement functions, allowing the distinction between an individual’s experience of absolute and quasi-SAS. This difference is essential, as quasi-SAS implies different exchange motivations and strategies than absolute SAS. Lastly, we demonstrate the formalized relations through two examples of abundance-based motivations, and how quasi-scarcity requires different explanations than absolute scarcity.
