Document Summary

Rlg205- final: lecture: although bhakti yoga does not fit the situation in which arjuna finds himself in the bhagavad. Gita, in chapter 9 bhakti yoga is described by krishna. Bhakti yoga is discipline of divine love (devotion). It is to make first act of faith and love to chosen deity, but ultimately release (moksha) is dependent upon god/goddess"s grace and love. It consists of kama which is desire and human love. The love of the devotee of god and goddesses. The love of the god/godess of the devotee. The content of the gita is the conversation between krishna and arjuna taking place on the battlefield before the start of the kurukshetra war. Responding to arjuna"s confusion and moral dilemma about fighting his own cousins, krishna explains to arjuna his duties as a warrior and prince and elaborates on different yogic and vedantic philosophies. Bhaghavad gita consists of an symbolic representation of good and evil within oneself.

write six recommendations based on below studies:

write a conclusion about below studies:

1- Sharma (1997) evaluated organizational commitment and its determinants in a private sector manufacturing organization with a sample of 200 respondents from skilled workers, resulted that both situational and personal factors contribute to workers’ commitment to organization. Between the two, situational factors contribute more to commitment than do person-related factors. Organizational characteristics (such as adequacy of resources) and two task characteristics such as task difficulty and task.
2- Reddy, et. al. (2000) in their study of organizational climate and dual commitment in private and public sector enterprise focused on examining the workers’ dual commitment- both organizational and union commitment- in the context of organizational climate. The study was conducted in four public and four private textile organizations of Coimbatore by interviewing 200 respondents. The study revealed that organizational climate has an important role in determining organizational commitment and not union commitment.
3- Ponnu and Chuah (2010) in their study organizational commitment, organizational
justice and employee turnover in Malaysia investigated the relationship among
organizational justice, organizational commitment and turnover intention of Malaysian
employees. The study based on the responses of 172 employees of Malaysia and found
that both procedural and distributive justice perceptions were significant contributors in
explaining organizational commitment and turnover intention. Further, found
significant, strong and positive relationship between organizational justice and
organizational commitment. On other hand, there was a significant, strong and negative
relationship between organizational justice and turnover intention.

4- In a scientific research which was conducted by Syed Azeem(2010, job satisfaction and organizational commitment among employees in Oman), with a sample of 150 employees from government sector and private sector through distributing questionnaires. It was found that the job satisfaction and age variables were the most dominant factors that affect the organizational commitment in Oman.
5- A study was conducted to determine MARA Professional Colleges lecturers’ perception on organizational commitment. The study builds on social exchange theory and organizational model to identify the factors influencing the organizational commitment of these lecturers. The study analyzes whether or not there is a significant relationship between job satisfaction, job involvement, perceived organizational support and organizational commitment among lecturers in MARA Professional Colleges. Data were collected via questionnaires from 132 lecturers of three different MARA Professional Colleges. The findings of the survey show there is a significant relationship between job satisfaction, job involvement and perceived organizational support. Job involvement contributed the most which is 28.8%, followed by perceived organizational support 23.9% and job satisfaction contributed 9.4% towards organizational commitment among MARA Professional College lectures. The results suggest an improvement of social change by increasing job involvement, perceived organizational support and job satisfaction is an efficient way of obtaining highly committed human resource. The results of the study have valuable implications for policy makers in MARA Higher Education Division, college administrators and educators.
6- Elina Anttila (2014, components of organizational commitment under a case study consisting line managers from Finnish industrial company) aims to find factors affecting employees’ organizational commitment within the case organization as well as point out some strengths and weaknesses the company has in this area. The company studied is Finnish multinational industrial company. The sample of this qualitative study consisted of nine Finnish first level managers from different segments of this company. The data was collected using theme interviews and qualitative attitude approach. Therefore, the analysis was also conducted in two separate ways. The data from theme interviews was analyzed using thematic content analysis while the analysis of the data from qualitative attitude approach followed the principles of that method concentrating on explanations of stance taking. As a result of this study, the factors affecting the organizational commitment in this organization can be divided into three categories. The first one consist matters directly linked to the company itself. The second category has factors linked to the work community. Finally, the third is formed by factors related to the work characteristics. Company’s strengths lie in its’ interesting field of business and variety opportunities it can offer for employees globally.

It took the diagnosis of high blood pressure (hypertension) at theage of 45 to shock Max into taking better care of himself. A formercollege football player, he had let himself go, eating too muchjunk food, drinking too much alcohol, sitting on his chubby bottomfor the majority of the last two decades, and even indulging in thefrequent habit of smoking cigars. Max's physician had to prescribetwo different antihypertensive medications in order to get hisblood pressure under control. She also prescribed regular exercise,a low-salt diet, modest alcohol intake, and smoking cessation. Maxwas scared, really scared. His father had hypertension at a youngage as well, and ended up on dialysis before dying fromcomplications of kidney failure.

Fortunately for Max, he took his doctor's advice and began adramatic lifestyle change that would bring him to his present-daysituation. Now, at the age of 55, he was a master triathlon athletewho routinely placed among the top five tri-athletes of the sameage group in the country. Max's competitive spirit had been ignitedby this, but at the same time he wanted to be first among hispeers. To that end, he hired Tracey, a Certified Clinical ExerciseSpecialist, to help him gain the edge he needed to win at the endof the race. His most immediate concern was that he wasexperiencing problems with dehydration and fatigue because hehadn't found an effective way to drink enough fluids whileexercising.

Tracey showed Max an impressive array of assessment tools forquantifying and analyzing his physiological state before, during,and after his workouts. One of the tools was urinalysis, which Maxfound a bit odd, but he dutifully supplied urine samples on aregular, prescribed basis. Tracey explained that Max's hydrationstatus was tricky due to the medication he took to control hishypertension, and that renal status (as measured in the urinalysis)was one of the tools she could use to evaluate his physiologicalstate. Tracey logs the following results of Max's urinalysisimmediately after, and six hours after, a rigorous 2-hour run.


Time Color SpecificGravity Protein Glucose pH
Before exercise pale yellow 1.002 absent absent 6.0
Immediately afterexercise dark yellow 1.035 small amount absent 4.5
Six hours afterexercise yellow 1.025 absent small amount 5.0

Tracey knows that the large pizza Max consumed just prior tocollecting his third urine sample caused a transient increase inhis blood glucose levels. What can be accurately said about therelationship between glucose in the blood and the amount of glucosefiltered through the glomerular membrane?
Glucoserequires a transport protein to get through the glomerularmembrane, so glucose in the filtrate cannot increase even whenblood glucose concentration is high.
Theglomerular membrane prevents glucose from entering the filtrateunless blood glucose concentration is abnormally high.
Thehigher the blood glucose concentration, the more glucose isfiltered through the glomerular membrane.
Onlysmall glucose molecules can filter through the glomerular membrane,but high blood glucose concentration increases the amount ofglucose in the filtrate.

Supervisors often avoid conducting counseling sessions with employees because the supervisors anticipate, sometimes correctly, that the session will be personally unpleasant. Most individuals simply do not enjoy confronting other individuals with judgments about performance. As is true of most people, supervisors have a need to be liked by members of the social groups with which they are associated. Counseling can disrupt the personal relationships which such groups represent. The supervisor often anticipates that this will occur, imagining that the subordinate will react to the session with hostility, or withdraw during the interview into a shell and thereafter ignore the supervisor's presence except when given direct orders. Such reactions by subordinates are not uncommon, and, in fear of that, the supervisor may avoid the discussion altogether.

Avoiding the discussion, however, will only result in the problem and the potential confrontation becoming worse. Counseling is an indispensable aspect of a supervisor's job which, if accomplished effectively, can resolve problems in a positive manner and ultimately help to strengthen the relationship between the supervisor and the subordinate.

It would be dishonest to assure any supervisor that there are techniques which will avoid the unpleasant aspects of counseling in every case. Like any aspect of supervision, counseling involves authority over and responsibility for the actions of other employees. It is precisely this authority over others' behavior that produces the potential conflict; however, such conflict can be minimized.

The written assignment for week six of the BU 461 course is a written counseling session in which students must demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the skills, techniques, resources, and other information taught within the class and apply this knowledge to an employee counseling session (must be fictitious). To ensure maximum points, please adhere to the guidelines set forth below.


Your written counseling session must include the following:

(Please address in paragraph form)

I. A written analysis of the problem presented:

Why is the situation a problem?

What steps should have been taken to remediate the situation before reaching this level?

Does the employee know what is supposed to be done and by when?

Does the employee have:

the information needed to do the job?

the skills needed to do the job?

the resources needed to do the job?

Have I adequately defined the job performance expectations?

Does the problem have an adverse effect on:

the employee?

the co-workers/team?

the unit?

the agency?

myself as a supervisor?

Are any obstacles beyond the employee’s control getting in the way?

Have I been inadvertently rewarding poor performance by my silence or behavior?

Is anyone else exhibiting the same problem?

Is there a pattern with this employee?

After addressing the above issues, it is then necessary for you to include:

II. A follow-up counseling memo that would be given to the employee after the counseling session.

Generally, a memo is both appropriate and necessary when: 1) previous counseling has failed to result in improvement; 2) you do not have confidence that the employee will correct the improper behavior without further encouragement; 3) the seriousness of the situation requires documentation that the session was held; and/or, 4) a multi-part plan for improvement was discussed during the session and the memo serves as written confirmation and a reminder of the plan.

When writing the counseling memo, the following guidelines should be followed:

Write the memo to the employee.

Be concise and clear.

The memo is a summary of your counseling session. Do not include other matters in the memo which were not discussed during the session.

Include the following sections:

A statement of the reason for and the date, time and place of the meeting. (Be as complete as possible in describing the problem.)

The employee's response to your concerns. This is important as it demonstrates to the employee that you were actually listening during the counseling session.

The manner in which the employee will seek to improve performance.

Provisions for follow-up consultations.

Do not characterize the memo as discipline or as a penalty.

The tone of the memo should be supportive and factual. Do not write it in a punitive or derogatory manner.

Show on the memo the names of those persons who will receive a copy of the memo. Include personal history folder.

The memo should be correct memo form

Your written counseling session will be graded on the following:

Clarity (have you addressed all required parts of section I)?

Completeness (have you addresses all required parts of section II)?

Conciseness (has your memo addressed the following)?

Did you clearly explain to the employee the facts of the situation?

Did you CLEARLY explain the gap between current performance and "expected performance"?

Did the employee indicate they understood the gap?

Did you get the employee to agree that a performance problem exists?

Did the employee ask enough questions to get employee to identify the cause of the problem and agree that change is necessary?

Did you identify good business reasons why the change must be made?

Did you list the consequences that could occur if the change is not made?

Did you get the employee’s agreement to take specific actions to improve his/her performance?

Please select any one of the following scenarios as the situation for your written counseling session.

A written counseling session on any other scenario will not be graded. It must be from either one of the following:

Looking at pornography on the Internet during company time. Your employee was recently promoted to a new position without having been properly trained. As a result, your employee cannot keep up with fellow coworkers in the same position.

Preaching to coworkers their beliefs in Christianity and why other coworkers should go to church and Bible study. Your employee is an associate Pastor at his church and tries to recruit new members to his congregation while at work. He is an average level employee working on an assembly line.

Can't read, trying to hide it. Your employee is a safety inspector at an auto plant. She is an outstanding employee, but constantly seeks other workers to help finish her reports.

Falls asleep on the job. Your employee is a student attending college at night with 3 kids and a wife at home. He is a production assistant responsible for layout and print copy for the local newspaper.

Bad breath & body odor. Your employee is an aging man who is the assistant manager in the customer service department. He has been with the organization for over 25 years.

Won’u t wear company uniforms because of religious reasons. Your employee is an atheist who has problems wearing the truck driver uniform for his job because a cross is part of the company logo. He also has a problem with wearing a uniform in general because he feels it represents him to others as being a member of an inferior social class.

Coming down with memory loss. Your employee is 37 years old who has recently undergone radiation therapy for breast cancer. She is responsible for medical records and tracking pharmaceutical prescriptions at the local hospital.
