Leadership and race

Introduction

The current paper aims at identifying racial discrimination as a global dilemma faced by organizations. Race at the workplace remains one of the global issues faced by organizations and the resolution demands appropriate leadership qualities. The inclusion of constant vigilant leaders can be used as an effective strategy for removing workplace discrimination on the basis of race or ethnic differences. Strong leaders are capable of handling racial segregation at the workplace by adopting adequate strategies that promote equal work opportunities and create a fair work environment for all. The common strategy adopted by such leaders includes honouring fundamental values and rejecting expressions of hatred, supremacy and bigotry. The uncivil behaviors of employees include insulting, jokes on race, demeaning statements and use of hostile tones. Such attitudes create a situation of discomfort and inconvenience for the culturally diverse employees including the African-Americans and Latinos. The paper emphasizes the need for hiring or creating vigilant leaders that promote anti-discriminatory and safe work conditions for the employees.

Diversity at the workplace is a criterion for meeting required quotas for race and gender. Racial discrimination at the workplace is identified as one of the oldest challenge faced by the firms at a global level. Although several anti-discrimination laws have been adopted by the companies and the states for providing equal growth opportunities to the people but little progress has been made. Workplace recruitment companies fight with diversity issues every day. The issue is global because almost all organizations encounter it. Research reveals that employees belonging to different cultural backgrounds encounter difficulties in the workplace. The perceptions of employees related to differences are reflected from dominant racialized stereotypes. Stereotypes and biases play a negative role in the workplace environment. The common observations of practice indicate that employees belonging to inferior groups face more difficulties due to social stigmas. The leader has an active role in handling the culturally diverse work environment and provides equal opportunities to the employees belonging to deprived backgrounds. The race is also defined as, “irrational hatred or suspicion of a particular group, race or religion” CITATION Nad17 \l 1033 (Nittle, 2017). The definition of race depicts that it causes unnecessary hatred and feelings of rejection towards a specific group.

Research questions

Can constant vigilant leaders remove racial discrimination from the workplace?

What strategies can be adopted for eliminating racial segregation from the workplace?

Does the promotion of fair work environment improve employees productivity, morale and organization's bottom-line?

Literature review

A significant amount of scholarly articles are available that identifies the prevalence of racial discrimination at the workplace and its negative impacts on employees performance. The literary database provides evidentiary support that constant vigilant leaders can act to remove racial discrimination. Biased social parameters represent the biases of organisations towards groups. It transmits the notion of treating people indifferently according to their race, ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. Race bias is the most common biased parameter that influences both groups; the superior and the inferior. Different sociologists attempt to uncover the meaning of race bias in realistic settings. although they associate race with the differences among groups living in society but they assure that no biological aspects support the differences among humans. The nature of the differences prevailing in society is purely physical. The theorists identify the differences in terms of physical appearances, skin colour, facial features and ethnicities. Nieto (2006) defines race as, “although biologically meaningless when applied to humans – physical differences such as skin color have no natural association with group differences in ability or behavior – race nevertheless has tremendous significance in structuring social reality". The definition of race explains that it relies on physical differences because there is no biological evidence that supports the differences in human races. The physical differences affect the behaviors of the people living in the society and are not limited to the superior ideology of the whites. According to the definition of race, people perceive blacks different from the whites depending on the differences in skin color CITATION Yuc14 \l 1033 (Cheng, 2014).

Racial discrimination at the workplace

The common practices that reflect racial discrimination include threats made on the basis of race, racist jokes, denial of promotions or growth, company's having different laws or rules for blacks and harassment. Segregating employees to different jobs on the basis of their ethnicities is also a prominent example of racial discrimination. The common example is to hire a black or Latino population for manual jobs only. Similarly, the decision of the firm to hire blacks for low-wage labor jobs also reflects racial segregation. The race is defined as, “races are distinguished by perceived common physical characteristics, which are thought to be fixed, whereas ethnicities are defined by perceived common ancestry, history, and cultural practices, which are seen as more fluid and self-asserted rather than assigned by others” CITATION Yuc14 \l 1033 (Cheng, 2014). The definition of race reveals that it relied on the perceptions of the people including both black and white. The society related people of different ethnicities with a different race. Sharma illustrates race as, “an adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts” CITATION Ang161 \l 1033 (Sharma, 2016). The deeper meaning of race relies on the perceptions or beliefs of people that encourage them to judge people of different ethnicities differently.

Cheng (2014) associates the concept of race with the theory of social construct. The creation of race was motivated by the arrival of immigrants that influenced the thoughts of the whites. The American organizations were more focused to consider immigrants different from the original whites. Different treatments of whites towards immigrants including Africans promoted the themes of racism at the workplace. Ethnicities and nationalities played a dominant role in defining the roles of the non-whites. Racial formation theory is also useful in explaining how it worked to benefit certain groups in organizations. The racial formation theory challenges high-level abstractions and lack of micro-level assessment. The transactional migration studies underscored the necessity of integrating national origin into racial formation. Immigrant families residing in America represents the logical reasoning behind the construction of race and how it controlled different dynamics of the American lifestyle CITATION Yuc14 \l 1033 (Cheng, 2014).

Poor management is another significant cause of low motivation that is the result of poor leadership skills. Manager's inability to supervising the employees and identifying issues faced by them reflects poor management. When employees belonging to diverse culture feel that their feedbacks are of no importance for the managers of the organization they develop feelings of dissatisfaction. This undermines their participation and level of performance. The inability of the leader to identify discriminatory practices such as incivility, insolence and bullying have negative implications on the workplace environment. The uncivil behaviors of employees include insulting, jokes on race, demeaning statements and use of hostile tones. Such attitudes create a situation of discomfort and inconvenience for the culturally diverse employees including the African-Americans and Latinos. The white employees are also engaged in activities of bullying that further creates a situation of hostility for the workers belonging to minority backgrounds. Bullying is difficult to identify and it has harmful impacts on the personality of the victims who certainly include blacks and Latinos CITATION Ang161 \l 1033 (Sharma, 2016).

Another possibility of racial discrimination is limited growth opportunities provided by the firm to the blacks or culturally diverse employees. When employees feel that the firm is not offering adequate opportunities for career growth they exhibit low morale. This includes the absence of long-term plans for promotions, no appreciation or raises. The discriminatory treatment discourages the participation of these employees in an organization. When culturally diverse employees continue to work on the same positions it undermines their interests in the workplace they exhibit a low level of motivation. This impacts their ability to engaging with the tasks and performing their duty with efficiency. Lack of motive also causes lack of interest that undermines the performance CITATION Dan101 \l 1033 (Chiaburu, 2010).

Literary evidence identify the role of vigilant leaders in overcoming discrimination from the workplace. The leader acts as allies and trained to prevent situations of mistreatment. Their initiative is to provide support to the employees and protect them from any harmful encounter. Due to the reliance of organizations on diverse culture, the role of leaders has become more evident in mitigating the risks of discriminatory behaviors. Without leaders, the implementation of inclusive policies for providing equal work opportunities is not possible. The leaders this set allies and have to offer consistent support to the minority employees. The leaders serve as educators or trainers who are responsible for promoting positive behavior and traits among employees. They have an active role in taking notice of employees involved in mistreatment. Clear agenda of the leader proves that such behaviors will not be tolerated. This will discourage employees from engaging in such uncivil practices. A vigilant leader is known for taking notice of the event and devising a most suitable response that ensures the safety and protection of employees CITATION Ang161 \l 1033 (Sharma, 2016).

A vigilant leader is capable of implementing changes the promote a fair and equal work environment. He also removes unacceptable or negative behaviors that threaten workplace diversity. The leader must possess adequate skills for handling discriminatory or conflicting situations. The leader must be able to identify employees who need more support. In common scenarios, this involves minority employees such as blacks and Latinos. This requires adequate knowledge about the racially discriminatory attitudes. Inclusion initiative is an effective method from involving minority employees and making them feel that they are part of the organization. This eliminates negative feelings of hostility and fear CITATION Jes061 \l 1033 (Nieto, 2006).

A good leader must possess adequate listening and communication skills. This allows him to understand the issues faced by minority employees by directly engaging them in discussions. This requires a neutral and non-biased attitude of the leader. A manager who is taking the role of a leader must be capable of overcoming biased behavior and analyze the situation with neutrality. This improves the scope of understanding the issues of the racially segregated employees at the organization. Good listening skills are crucial because it allows the leader to understand the concerns and problems of the employees. A neutral approach improves the possibilities of removing unequal or unfair practices. The leader is thus capable of listening to all complaints and taking feedback from the employees. This reflects their ability to encouraging employees to share their problems that lead to a possible solution CITATION Dan101 \l 1033 (Chiaburu, 2010).

A strong leader is capable of taking an immediate stand against the mishappening such as the prevalence of discriminatory practices. A vigilant leader identifies the risks of inappropriate behaviors such as jokes on someone's race or belief. This will enable him to discourage such behavior by explaining the company's policy. Evidence suggests that organizations that hire more vigilant and strong leaders manage to control racial discrimination. These firms have managed to provide fair work opportunities to all employees that leads to the promotion of fairness CITATION Ang161 \l 1033 (Sharma, 2016).

Improved cultural diversity has a direct relationship with high morale and productivity of employees. The evidence suggests that organizations that manage to overcome discriminatory practices attain an efficiency of operations due to the high morale of employees. Motivation is crucial for employees who are responsible for initiating a direct process. Mental and behavioral territories are the central factors behind motivation. Psychology relies on thee elements for defining motivation that include activation, persistence, and intensity. Activation is the primary phase required for attaining a goal. this can also be viewed as a phase in which an individual prepares himself for the test. Persistence is the second element that reflects one’s efforts for working towards a goal CITATION Ang161 \l 1033 (Sharma, 2016). A strong manager is focused on putting all efforts and avoid distractions for the attainment of a target. Intensity is the third crucial element that refers to one's ability to stick to the goal. motivation is a desire that provides energy and directs behavior required for the completion of a certain task.

Organizations that provide an equal work environment to the employees irrespective of their racial or ethnic backgrounds attain high productivity. This is due to the provisions of fair work opportunities that encourage all workers to feel that they are part of the organization. A positive and collaborative environment is positively correlated with employees morale and enthusiasm CITATION Cas14 \l 1033 (Okechukwu, Souza, Davis, & Castro, 2014).

Theoretical Framework

The Critical Race Theory is utilized for understanding the employment discrimination on and its remedies. The Critical Race Theory includes a collection of scholars and activists that studied the transformation of relationships among power, race and racism. CRT is synonymous in understanding the concept behind black identity and racial segregation. The theory provides deeper insights into the ideology of racial bias and its adverse outcomes CITATION Ric01 \l 1033 (Liu, 2019). Critical Race Theory emerged during the mid-1970s when social scientists and activists attempted to demonstrate the negative implications of race and its connection with black deprivation. Crenshaw and Bell determined the need for a new theory that could describe the reasons behind the discriminatory attitudes of the people. It is crucial in conducting the analysis of racial bias and racism. The legal scholarship of race highlighted the strong intertwined and interconnected racial bias in American society. it is against the ideology of liberalism and meritocracy. It criticizes the role of liberalism and illustrates how it failed to provide justice and equality. It is against the ideology of colorblindness that attempts to neglect the prevalence of race. It recognizes the prevalence of race at an institutional level, having relevance with social inequalities.

CRT uncovers the multidimensionality of racial bias and how it controls the lives of whites and non-whites. Its stress on the notion of white supremacy highlights the factors that allowed one race to dominate over the blacks. It also explains how white actors affect the neutrality of the society appeared in the biased judgments of the people. It provides the reasoning behind the black thought that the bad treatment is for non-white complexion CITATION Ric01 \l 1033 (Liu, 2019). Social scientists identify black thinking as micro-aggression becoming the cause of sudden and dispiriting transformations among people. Events have a significant role in the formation of assumptions that influence the perceptions of blacks.

The ideology of color blindness explains the formal concepts of equality, discrimination and injustice. CRT also relies on the social construction theory, determining race as a social phenomenon. The reason for the prevalence of race is not natural because the society's tendency to treating people according to color is the result of self-created assumptions. These assumptions have a negative impact on the overall personality of people belonging to different groups. Race lacks any biological or genetically reality, making it a social issue. People belonging to common origins share similar traits including skin color, physical appearance and facial features. This reflects a small portion of the genetic endowment. Dominant groups in the society realized the roles of different minority groups in shifting the needs of labor markets. Whites cultivated the group of colors for low-paid jobs. The social conditions also played a vital role in the evolution of race CITATION Ric01 \l 1033 (Liu, 2019). the cultural tensions in America become prominent in the overlapping identities, allegiances and loyalties of the black population. It questions the status of the minority population leading to confused views regarding their originality and current roles. Black people who are unable to accept their oppressive roles, develop rebellious attitudes that often work to misguide them.

Solutions for dealing with racial discrimination

Diversity at the workplace is considered as a dominant solution for overcoming the issues of race and ethnicities. The concept of diversity stresses the promotion of respect, acceptance, teamwork irrespective of age, gender, race, ethnicities, political or personal beliefs and religion. Having a diverse workplace offer many benefits to firms. Companies that employ people from a wide variety of backgrounds and demographics attain innovation in process and product development. Cultural diversity is an effective strategy to improve the performance of employees belonging to diverse cultures. Workers belonging to minorities undergo more difficult experiences compared to workers who are native Americans. Prejudices become part of work culture where employees belong to different cultural backgrounds, providing advantages to the dominant groups but discouraging the employees of non-American backgrounds. Leaders or managers are an agent to change so they need to identify the issues faced by the workers in diverse environments. Research reveals that the provision of equality and social justice leads to the improved performance of the employees. The cultural plunge is “to have direct contact with people who are culturally different from oneself in a real-life setting which represents the target group’s” CITATION Jes061 \l 1033 (Nieto, 2006). Cultural plunge helps in identification of problems encountered by the employees in diverse cultures.

Different strategies and programs can be adopted for addressing the issues and difficulties faced by the African, Chicano and Latino employees having connections with diverse cultures. Early identification of the issue is an effective step for improving the capabilities of employees who are encountering issues of social injustice at the workplace or organization. Providing support to the workers belonging to such social groups can be an effective tool for improving their feelings regarding their backgrounds. In the case of workers encountering severe issues, the manager or the supervisor must talk to them personally and determine the issues CITATION Ang161 \l 1033 (Sharma, 2016).

Another effective strategy is to eliminate privileges by treating all employees with fairness. Organizations that treat all employees equally will improve the conditions of work as they would be able to overcome their feelings of discomfort. Subjectivity allows understanding the relationship of the environment with the workers and how it influences their participation. At the larger level, the firms must adopt fair policies that focus on hiring black and non-white people without any discrimination. The organizations can use a diverse culture to benefit the employees of different backgrounds. Improving interactions through discussions and group projects can help them to know each other and enhance cognitive skills. Providing a comfortable environment is another strategy to improve their competency and capabilities CITATION Ric01 \l 1033 (Liu, 2019).

Role of constant vigilant leaders

Highly competent managers can create interactive culture promoting the concept of fairness, friendship and equality thus eliminating class discrimination. Taking actions against the racist attitudes that may involve worker, manager or administration. Adoption of cooperative techniques and social-cognitive training improves the work environment. the manager takes the role of leader and is responsible for uncovering the areas that require more attention. A competent leader makes observations about the workplace and finds the groups or employees that are facing negative implications due to racial attitudes. The leader ensures that the indispensable resources of the organization are used without any discrimination. He himself adopts a fair behavior towards all employees and treat them equally irrespective of their cultural background, ethnicity, religion or race. This is crucial for showing the employees of the diverse culture that the leader gives them respect and dignity is the same way as he treats white employees CITATION Ang161 \l 1033 (Sharma, 2016).

Vigilant leaders have a significant role in building a successfully diversified workplace. A vigilant leader in an organization can adopt the strategy of promoting values such as respecting all care for all and sharing promotes the concept of humanity and harmony. Discouraging bullies and any discriminating practices from the workplace will ensure security and fairness. Organizing seminars and meetings for the employees are useful for providing guidance about the negative impacts of discrimination and also suggests ways for discouraging them. The leader has a profound role in promoting values of acceptance and respect. This is an effective way of removing the conflicting situations that arise due to a lack of acceptance from diverse culture. The leader encourages employees to accept differences of each other and share ideas in an effective way. Acceptance is crucial for promoting feelings of respect and prevents conflicting situations. The employees learn to respect each other's beliefs, ethnicities and race that prevent them from engaging in disruptive behaviors CITATION Kim171 \l 1033 (Schneider, Wesselmann, & DeSouza, 2017).

The leader creates a collaborative environment by encouraging employees to share their views. However, they are trained not to impose their beliefs or values on others. This is an appropriate strategy for eliminating the possibilities of disputes. They are also trained to keep their ethnic or personal beliefs disconnected from their work responsibilities and also that they must not impact their relationship with colleagues. Collaborative work environment eliminates negative behaviors such as bullying or hostility towards co-workers CITATION Ang161 \l 1033 (Sharma, 2016). Such environmental are also crucial for promoting equality in the workplace. The leader briefs the employees that they are only evaluated on the basis of merit. He himself refrain from engaging in discriminatory attitude by treating all workers in a fair way. The leader ensures that the workers meet the laws and statutory requirements that prevent them from engaging in discriminatory behavior towards certain groups.

The possible solution adopted by the leader for overcoming employees motivation is to eliminate conditions of stress resulting from workplace discrimination. By dividing work in a fair manner the organization and the manager would be able to remove conditions that create anxiety. This also suggests preventing employees from overwork or excessive burden that undermines their efficiency. By acknowledging work the leader could improve employees morale. This will involve a reward strategy and appreciating the work of employees. Adding value for the employees who perform better will enhance their productivity and efficiency. By giving rewards the firm will promote the ideology that better performers are more valued and appreciated. This will encourage other employees to do good for attaining the same rewards and appreciation CITATION Ric01 \l 1033 (Liu, 2019).

The vigilant leader stresses creating a positive workplace environment. It is another factor that promotes motivation and satisfaction among black and Latino workers. Such an environment will eliminate conflicting or negative situations. The pleasant work environment also reflects eliminating conditions that created distractions for the employees. The leader will take an active role in identifying conflicting situations encountered by black or Latino employees. The leader can discourage such discriminatory behaviors by taking immediate actions against workers who have been engaged in a racist act. This involves explaining employees the policy on the fundamental rights of workers and the company's strict response in the form of termination. A vigilant leader is responsible for identifying potential risks associated with certain behaviors and taking timely action for changing disruptive attitudes. Some of the disruptive behaviors that a leader can identify include gossiping about a co-worker and cracking jokes about the employee's color or race. Similarly, the use of aggressive and hostile tones can also be determined by the leader. This will encourage him to stop workers from indulging in non-professional behaviors CITATION Ric01 \l 1033 (Liu, 2019).

The leader focuses on improving participant of culturally diverse employees is by offering opportunities for self-development. This activates their biological drive for overcoming challenges and attaining reward. This process also demands to offer training and opportunities for building the required skills set. Offering opportunities for career development is also an effective tool for improving motivation. This will involve rotating employees to different positions and offering opportunities for promotions. Allowing black and Latino employees to set their career goals will encourage them to work more efficiently and with dedication. This is an effective strategy that prevents them from wasting time and enhances productivity CITATION Dan101 \l 1033 (Chiaburu, 2010).

Another solution adopted by the vigilant leader for improving the motivation of culturally diverse employees is by providing opportunities for career growth. The leader can assure the employee's adequate promotions and salary raises. In most of the organization, blacks or employees belonging to minority populations receive low wages compared to the whites. This has a direct impact on their work performance and motivation. Offering an environment of knowledge sharing and creativity also assist employees in building skills CITATION Dan101 \l 1033 (Chiaburu, 2010). This also involves providing them with training and learning opportunities that are crucial for the development of adequate skills set. The leader stresses on removing the situations of stress. By creating a positive work environment the employees will be less stressed. The supportive environment is offered by encouraging employees to work with unity. The firm will ensure that no worker is overworked. This can be attained by setting standard work hours. No worker will be forced to work beyond the standard hours. Suggesting equal work hours for employees irrespective of their race or background will promote positive diverse culture CITATION Ang161 \l 1033 (Sharma, 2016).

Another solution selected for dealing with the problem of discrimination is by recognizing the work of culturally diverse employees. The leader will evaluate the work of employees individually and give them feedback. The employees who perform better will be appreciated and offered a reward. This will promote positive feeling among employees and they will be encouraged to perform better in the future. This is an effective strategy that makes employees feel that they are part of the organization and they recognize their worth. This will encourage blacks and Latinos to recognize their importance in the organization and will result in increased participation CITATION Ric01 \l 1033 (Liu, 2019). A strong leader also discourages discriminatory behaviors by giving warnings to the employees. This requires maintaining authority over employees and giving the reason for abiding the laws and regulations. Zero-tolerance for the race is also the agenda of the vigilant leader who imposes such beliefs by using his power.

Conclusion

Workplace recruitment companies fight with diversity issues every day. The issue is global because almost all organizations encounter it. Research reveals that employees belonging to different cultural backgrounds encounter difficulties in the workplace. The overall analysis of racial discrimination art workplace reveals that the managers can play a positive role by eliminating social injustices. The best approach is to make black employees feel that they are part of the workplace and are equally important as whites. Negligence plays a negative role in their performance and participation. The leaders have a useful role in improving the work environment for the employees belonging to diverse backgrounds by promoting social justice and equality. A negative attitude or discriminating behavior have adversarial impacts on these employees. An efficient leader needs to address their issues individually and ensure the provision of a safe work environment. The organizations and leaders need to adopt adequate policies to address the issues of racial discrimination in the workplace. Common strategies involve, building interactive environment, eliminating discrimination, allowing equal participation and acknowledging the work of employees belonging to diverse backgrounds.

Offering opportunities for career development is also an effective tool for improving motivation. This will involve rotating employees to different positions and offering opportunities for promotions. The possible solution adopted by the leader for overcoming employees motivation is to eliminate conditions of stress resulting from workplace discrimination. When employees belonging to diverse culture feel that their feedbacks are of no importance for the managers of the organization they develop feelings of dissatisfaction. The leader acts as allies and trained to prevent situations of mistreatment. Their initiative is to provide support to the employees and protect them from any harmful encounter. The leader must possess adequate skills for handling discriminatory or conflicting situations. The organizations can use a diverse culture to benefit the employees of different backgrounds.

Sexual Harassment In The Workplace

Introduction

Sexual harassment is considered to be a form of sex discrimination that tends to violate the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 1964. In simple words, the term sexual harassment refers to the verbal or physical conduct, request for sexual favors, or unwelcome sexual advances. Title VII is a federal law that has been established with a sole purpose to prohibit the discrimination in employment on the basis of religion, origin, color, race, or sex. The aim of Title VII is to make sexual harassment totally illegal for retaliating against an individual. In the majority of the times, sexual harassment is covered in the workplace when it happens at work or any particular place where people carry out work-related functions (Fitzgerald et al., 2017). One thing that must be taken into consideration is that not only just women get sexually harassed at the workplace, but there men too who experience it.

Responding to Harassment

There is a high need for the involvement of managers or employees in all incidents of sexual harassment in a quick and appropriate way. The matter of fact is that just because someone is not objecting to inappropriate behavior in the workplace at the time, it cannot deny the fact that he/she is consenting to the behavior.

The Law

Title VII is a federal law that has been established with a sole purpose to prohibit the discrimination in employment on the basis of religion, origin, color, race, or sex. There are certain types of sexual harassment that may also be an offense under criminal law such as posts on social networking sites, text messages, e-mails, letters, and phone calls. In such a scenario, there is a high need for the employers to consider reporting the criminal offenses to the police.

Liability

One thing to be taken into consideration that a person who tends to harass another person sexually is liable for his/her behavior. The matter of fact is that the employers can also be held vicariously liable for the acts that may involve sexual harassments by their agents or employees. When it comes to sexual harassment at the workplace, there are a number of people who can be involved in such incidents such as clients, customers, volunteers, agents, contractors, managers, employees, and others that are connected with the workplace. Sexual harassment is a type of activity that can happen at any work-related event between the colleagues.

A Common Workplace

A workplace can be thought of any place which a person is seen to be attending to carry out his trade or work. The ones involved in the sexual harassment do not require to be an employee or an employer of the workplace. The best example in such a scenario would be of a person who is contracted by an employment agency for filling a short-term reception role. During that time, that person gets sexually harassed by the staff of the company.

Forms of Sexual Harassment

When it comes to sexual harassment at work, there are possible two forms. The first type of sexual harassment tends to occur when an employment benefit is implicitly conditioned on the submission for an unwelcoming sexual advance (Quick et al., 2017). On the other hand, the hostile environment harassment tends to occur when the work environment of a victim is made abusive or hostile as harassment's result.

How To Deal

Sexual harassment is on its way to becoming a common aspect of the workplace environment. The reason for that is quite simple that more and more cases of sexual harassment are seen nowadays, and the numbers are ever increasing. However, the current need is to stop this trend by coming up with possible ways. One step to follow from the very beginning is to behave in an unacceptable way whenever such issue comes into arising. The person facing such issue must demand to stop it in the first attempt (McDonald et al., 2016).

Another important thing to be taken in consideration is to write it down. A person who had been sexually harassed at the workplace is required to write down the details of harassment and try to look up for any witness. The reason for that is quite simple that it will help that person during interrogation from the police. It often happens that the harasses try to defend themselves against the claim of sexually harassing someone by attacking the job performance. In such a scenario, it has been required to gather copies of the personnel file with a sole purpose to keep evidence of job performance.

Human resources are considered to be one of the most effective role players in such a scenario. When it comes to the peer-to-peer sexual harassment, a person being sexually harassed requires to report the behavior to either the human resources or the supervisor. A person as soon as feels for being harassed, he/she must report immediately. The reason for that is quite simple that in such a scenario the employer must know regarding the conduct to be legally responsible to address the coworker. To inform the supervisor or the HR, the person can write a formal letter including the details of the events, and asking for a meeting.

How Employers Should Handle

The matter of fact is that an employer is obligated to address the claims of harassment effectively and professionally. There can be a number of steps to be taken in such situation by an employer. One of the most effective way in such a scenario would be the distribution of a written anti-harassment policy which tends to prohibit sexual harassment and assure that the employers will be conducting a fair investigation into the cases related to sexual harassment (Quick et al., 2017).

Supervisors are required to be given training over sexual harassment every two years. The most important thing to be taken into consideration is that the employers must take actions for investigating the claims within the 24 to 48 hours of the complaint. At that moment of time, the investigation must not be unbiased, but it should be progression for properly determining whether the claim is credible or not.

Conclusion

It is concluded that not only just women get sexually harassed at the workplace, but there men too who experience it. When it comes to sexual harassment at the workplace, there are a number of people who can be involved in such incidents such as clients, customers, volunteers, agents, contractors, managers, employees, and others that are connected with the workplace. The person facing sexual harassment must demand to stop it in the first attempt. Moreover, it is required by the victim write down the details of harassment and try to look up for any witness.

The matter of fact is that an employer is obligated to address the claims of harassment effectively and professionally. In such a scenario, the distribution of a written anti-harassment will be effective to prohibit sexual harassment and assure that the employers will be conducting a fair investigation into the cases related to sexual harassment. One thing to be taken into consideration is that most of the employees do not speak up when they face the issues of harassment. The reason for that is quite simple that such people are afraid to lose their jobs.

Human Resource Development (HRD) which is part of human resource management of an organization is defined as a series of organized activities, procedures as well as task conducted within a specialized defined time in an organization. (Resource.com, 2015) .I wish to work for the following are among the improvement that essential to be changed in an organization. If these changes are implemented it will have numerous benefits to both the organization as well as the employees such as improve on productivity, ensuring employee satisfaction and enabling an organization to revitalize and experience lifetime growth among others.

Reforms to be Taken to Improve Productivity

Effectiveness and efficiency are the core virtues that employees of every organization need to poses in order to see into improved productivity. These can be achieved by making various changes that include: providing employees training which can be performed in various ways depending on how it suits an organization. Training of employees can be achieved through involving employees on designed classes based on their roles, provision of designed work assignments, field trips, and coaching from the manager's boss or supervisors (Ramlall, 2003). This training should be oriented to the area of specialization of each employee which will help create efficiency on how employees perform their duties thus improving overall productivity.

Changes to Improve Employee Satisfaction with the Quality of Their Work Life.

Employee satisfaction and improve on the quality of their life is essential in the overall sustains development of an organization. Employee satisfaction can be achieved through HRD by performing analysis and identification of ways in which employees needs can be met. This includes adjustment of employee salary to match with their qualification as well as the overall duties performed by an individual to ensure satisfaction. Also career development of an employee, performance management and development, mentoring, succession planning and even tuition assistance is essential in ensuring employee satisfaction (Garavan, 2007).

Beyond that, when an organization work towards improving career development of an individual, the employee will have lifetime satisfaction since besides working for the organization, he or she will also be building their career life for future roles.

Changes to Enable an Organization to Revitalize and Develop itself Over Time

For an organization to be in apposition to rejuvenate itself and be in a position to sustain its lifetime development it is essential to make changes that result in the specific culture being adopted. This is dependent largely on the leadership as well as decision-making processes. Identification of an organization's weaknesses through HRD is important for making sound decisions on ways of continuously tackling them thus ensuring that organization develops all the time. Also, work processes and systems need to be redesigned in a way that new employees joining a company is in a position to fit in thus ensuring that an organizations culture is sustained over time.

In addition, for an organization to ensure lifetime development, transparency should be ensured by building a strong relationship between the top management and the employees (Moon, 2006). This will bring sustained development because all the workers in an organization contribute to innovative ways that can be undertaken to ensure sustained growth.

Changes to Improve the Organization's Processes and Outputs

Maintaining a sustained standard by which organizations activities are undertaken is essential for improving the overall output of an organization. An organization should develop an organizational culture in which supervisor-subordinate relationships is highly maintained. This encourages collaboration among sub-units which builds strong professional wellbeing, motivation, and pride of employees which results in improved organizations output. Teamwork is also essential in ensuring that the output of an organization is achieved (Marsick, Watkins, 2003). When workers in an organization are trained to put aside their differences so as to be in a position to work together towards the organization's goal, then greater output will be achieved.

Methods to Measure Success in the Improvement Efforts.

Evaluation of changes in an organization is important to realize their success. Various parameter metrics and approaches are applied by the organization to understand the improvement efforts made. First feedback questionnaires can be administered to the workers to enable the gathering of various views. These views can then be analyzed to evaluate if the improvements efforts applied were successful. For example, if most employees are happy about the changes it gives an impression that the changes were successful (Moon, 2006).

Also, metrics such as observing the general trend of the process in the organization can also be a success evaluation metric. If the intended process has changed positively after the changes, it implies that the efforts were successful.

Conclusion

Generally, Human resource development (HRD) is essential in determining organizations success. Changes need to be undertaken continuously in HDR to ensure that the welfare as well. Change in a Human Resource Development (HRD) of an Organizations the effectiveness and efficiency of employees has achieved which will in return improve the general development of an organization.

When it comes to the proper consideration of the workforce within an organisational setting than retention is one major conceptual idea. Currently, organisations are striving to adopt different retention strategies to retain their valuable workers. facing employee turnover at a huge rate is one of the biggest challenges for organisations. Organisations in a great concern at different levels to ensure the effective form of employee retention. The concept of employee retention is defined as the application of the overall ability by the organisations to retain its useful customers. Different strategies and practical domains are established by the organisations to ensure the availability of the workers who are the major source of development and profitability for the organisations ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"AW2HWVxs","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Younge & Marx, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Younge & Marx, 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1810,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/H4GIJP8X"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/H4GIJP8X"],"itemData":{"id":1810,"type":"article-journal","title":"The value of employee retention: Evidence from a natural experiment","container-title":"Journal of Economics & Management Strategy","page":"652-677","volume":"25","issue":"3","author":[{"family":"Younge","given":"Kenneth A."},{"family":"Marx","given":"Matt"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Younge & Marx, 2016). The broad phenomenon of retention is defined as the organisations’ attempt to retain its workers.

Discussion

Employee retention is one of the major objectives of the management of organisations. Employers show their commitment to retain their useful workforce to achieve organisational objectives. The overall idea of retention reflects the attempts of the employers to retain important employees as their workforce. The main objective of this form of consideration is to avoid the cost associated with the entire approach of employee turnover. The practical implications of employee turnover are immensely costly facet for the organisations that eventually affect the overall functioning. Another major cause of the consideration of employee retention is that organisations want to gain maximum output from the valuable workers. It is beneficial for employers to retain experienced employees who have complete knowledge of actual work tasks. Necessary experience of job responsibilities makes it easy for the workers to complete their work duties.

The process of Employee Retention

The concept of employee retention can better understand through the comprehensive understanding of the entire procedure. It is interesting to mention that the practical approach of retention adopted by the organisation can be explained in the form of simple numerical value. Consideration of the simple value indicates the level of employee retention achieved by the organisation. It is also essential to focus all the efforts adopted by the management of the organisation to retain its workers. The main idea of employee retention can only achieve if employers have a clear understanding between higher and lower performers in the organisation. This specific difference between the performance level of all the workers helps organisations to focus only on high performing employees through the main idea of employee retention. It is the core responsibility of the management of the organisations to resolve all the prospects that can be the reason for employee turnover ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"HYZ3dxtz","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Pittino, Visintin, Lenger, & Sternad, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Pittino, Visintin, Lenger, & Sternad, 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1811,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/ICEG8P44"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/ICEG8P44"],"itemData":{"id":1811,"type":"article-journal","title":"Are high performance work practices really necessary in family SMEs?

These particular concerns are recognised as the low morale of employees, ambiguous understanding of desired career path, lack of necessary acknowledgement, ineffective association between employers and employees, etc. It is essential for the management of the organisations to remain vigilant to properly handle these concerns and provides a better working environment for the workers.

Growing concerns in the form of a working environment can lead to an increasing form of job satisfaction and employees’ commitment to the organisations. A lack of satisfaction in the work setting is recognised as the major reason for employee turnover. It is important for employers to develop effective strategies to align the working performance of the workers with the prospect of a feasible working environment. The overall procedure of employee retention is reflecting as the practical effective measure to encourage workers to remain the part of the organisations ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"M3vU3PP1","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Deery & Jago, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Deery & Jago, 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1808,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/9EGNS6JV"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/9EGNS6JV"],"itemData":{"id":1808,"type":"article-journal","title":"Revisiting talent management, work-life balance and retention strategies","container-title":"International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management","page":"453-472","volume":"27","issue":"3","author":[{"family":"Deery","given":"Margaret"},{"family":"Jago","given":"Leo"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Deery & Jago, 2015).

It is essential for employers to figure out changing working perspectives and updated their organisational strategies according.

Employees are demanding due to the prevalence of competitive business environment. Valuable workers have many options for employment in the market which makes it difficult for organisations to retain their valuable workers. There is a need for offering better working opportunities and incentives to attain the better form of employee retention on realistic grounds. The employers should have a clear understanding that which particular strategies can be useful to attract and sustain important workforce to ensure proper completion of the organisational objective for both short-run and long-run.

A suitable form of worker recognition and training are other prominent aspects concerns with the main idea of employee retention ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"4LfW62PM","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Papa, Dezi, Gregori, Mueller, & Miglietta, 2018)","plainCitation":"(Papa, Dezi, Gregori, Mueller, & Miglietta, 2018)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1806,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/GVV6ERTE"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/GVV6ERTE"],"itemData":{"id":1806,"type":"article-journal","title":"Improving innovation performance through knowledge acquisition: the moderating role of employee retention and human resource management practices","container-title":"Journal of Knowledge Management","author":[{"family":"Papa","given":"Armando"},{"family":"Dezi","given":"Luca"},{"family":"Gregori","given":"Gian Luca"},{"family":"Mueller","given":"Jens"},{"family":"Miglietta","given":"Nicola"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Papa, Dezi, Gregori, Mueller, & Miglietta, 2018). Flexible working environment also helps workers to remain stick to the organisations and give their working services effectively. The suitable working environment helps workers to share their issues with the concerned authorities and collectively find out viable solutions.

Necessary time and efforts are required to avail the best outcomes from the whole process of recruitment.

Orientation and Onboarding

It is advised for the organisations to provide necessary information about the entire structure of the organisations and the job tasks to the workers to avoid any discrepancy in the future ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"rQl3FITQ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Tanwar & Prasad, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Tanwar & Prasad, 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1805,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/CQ8C96ZH"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/CQ8C96ZH"],"itemData":{"id":1805,"type":"article-journal","title":"Exploring the relationship between employer branding and employee retention","container-title":"Global Business Review","page":"186S-206S","volume":"17","issue":"3_suppl","author":[{"family":"Tanwar","given":"Karnica"},{"family":"Prasad","given":"Asha"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Tanwar & Prasad, 2016). When organisations are committed to treating all the workers rightly at their early stages of working than it ultimately builds a good impression and motivates them to work.

Training and Development

The features of training and development are characterised as the key recommended strategies for the organisations to ensure a better form of employee retention ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"4P1fYKca","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Fletcher, Alfes, & Robinson, 2018)","plainCitation":"(Fletcher, Alfes, & Robinson, 2018)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1809,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/U9L4TWZS"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/U9L4TWZS"],"itemData":{"id":1809,"type":"article-journal","title":"The relationship between perceived training and development and employee retention: the mediating role of work attitudes","container-title":"The International Journal of Human Resource Management","page":"2701-2728","volume":"29","issue":"18","author":[{"family":"Fletcher","given":"Luke"},{"family":"Alfes","given":"Kerstin"},{"family":"Robinson","given":"Dilys"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Fletcher, Alfes, & Robinson, 2018). The approach of training helps workers to excel in their job responsibilities by enhancing their work skills and competencies.

Performance Assessment

It is also critical for organisations to ensure the proper assessment of the performance of the workers on a regular basis.

The main idea of basic practical implications of employee retention linked with the defined strategies by the organisations. All the basic practices for employee retention can be illustrated as follows:

Develop a working environment which encourages employees to work passionately.

Appropriate application of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is one useful theoretical way to make inferences about the idea of retention. All the significant levels of motivation theory relate to the desired form of a retention strategy ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"X7vHuKBy","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Anitha, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Anitha, 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1804,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/BDRWLBTB"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/BDRWLBTB"],"itemData":{"id":1804,"type":"article-journal","title":"Role of Organisational Culture and Employee Commitment in Employee Retention.","container-title":"ASBM Journal of Management","volume":"9","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Anitha","given":"J."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Anitha, 2016). It is important for organisations to employ effective retention strategies concerning all the five main humanitarian requirements. Considering the features of self-actualisation and requirements of esteem set by the workers helps to get a better form of their retention. On the other hand, the needs of physiological, safety, and social requirements are also integral to determine the concept of employee retention.

Herzberg theory also provides a theoretical foundation to better understand and deliver the idea of employee retention in an organisational setting. Herzberg identified basic elements of job dissatisfaction of the workers. Identification of these particular aspects helps the management of the organisations to determine the better form of the retention of all the workers. the concept of employee’s job satisfaction and motivation provided by Herzberg is recognised as a suitable option to determine the different strategies of employee retention. The main idea of job satisfaction theory presented by Frederick Herzberg associated with the two main organisational dimensions of employee retention and their motivation level. It is perceived that two main ideas of satisfaction and motivation play a critical role to determine the actual trend of employee retention in the organisations ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"ZTReGjnh","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Al-Emadi, Schwabenland, & Wei, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Al-Emadi, Schwabenland, & Wei, 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1814,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/8CRGR6NW"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/lMSdZ3dY/items/8CRGR6NW"],"itemData":{"id":1814,"type":"article-journal","title":"The vital role of employee retention in human resource management: A literature review","container-title":"IUP Journal of Organizational Behavior","page":"7","volume":"14","issue":"3","author":[{"family":"Al-Emadi","given":"Ali Ahmed Qayed"},{"family":"Schwabenland","given":"Christina"},{"family":"Wei","given":"Qi"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Al-Emadi, Schwabenland, & Wei, 2015). The overall phenomenon of job dissatisfaction comprised of different factors such as actual management, overall policy, working environment, association with peers, salary package, etc.

Impact of Employee Retention on Organisational Performance

The practical implications of employee retention closely related to the overall performance level of the organisations. The management of the organisations strives to adopt the approach of employee retention to achieve their targets and long-term objectives.

Impact of Supervisor Expediency on Employee Unethical Behavior in BPO industry of Pakistan: The mediating role of employee unethical tolerance in the odd shift workers.

ABSTRACT

The conduct of the supervisor, in diverse organizations, is the primary determinant of the critical nature of employee tolerance and attitude. The primary aim of the study is distinguishing the essential roles of unethical tolerance as a potential intermediary to highlight the relation between unethical employee behavior and supervisor expediency. It further explores the role of variables on odd shift employees in the BPO industry of Pakistan and the application of the social working theory on these subjects. There exist a limited number of studies intended at comprehending the behavioral characteristics of managers and thus the negative outlook of employees in odd shifts is left unaddressed.The subjects for the problem were the employees from the S&P global where above 1000 employees' labor. The methodology was qualitative that comprised the open-ended questions to meet the measurement requirements of the study. The results of the study reflected the implications of the employee unethical tolerance. Besides, the statistical analysis further affirmed the significance of supervisor expediency on employees' unethical behavior. However, a narrow margin of error was prevalent in the study because of the biases, random errors and the influence of the environmental factors on the subjects. The variables of the research proved to be the cornerstones of determining the exclusive relationship of employee unethical behavior and supervisor expediency. One of the productive prospects spawned from the study is the robust advancement, holistic communication and efficient supervision to eliminate the widespread culture of unethical tolerance and behavior in Human Resource (HR) practice. Ethical behavior has been an issue in the companies working in Pakistan and it is a matter of focus in many public and private sector organizations working in Pakistan. As an American multinational has been chosen for this study, the orientation for these types of organizations is very different in culture as well as in completing the work. Unethical behavior affects the organization's position in the long run and supervisor behavior affects the thinking of employees in a significant manner. Hence deduced that supervisor expediency affects the unethical employee behavior in a significant way in the presence of unethical employee tolerance acting as a mediation

Introduction

In mentioning the organizational culture, the tolerance level and behavior of the employees is significant. However, amongst several factors, the attitude of the supervisor or the manager is considered the most significant when it comes to developing employee attitude and tolerance level as well. The review of past studies has presented a mixed opinion on this stance. Some studies believe that lenient and expedient supervisors create a humble employee attitude as well ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"luVxKNyi","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Nielsen, 2013)","plainCitation":"(Nielsen, 2013)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/JxYmIk1B","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/Z6CIYJ68"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/Z6CIYJ68"],"itemData":{"id":523,"type":"article-journal","title":"How can we make organizational interventions work?

However, other studies present that leniency or supervisor expediency leads to a mismanaged and unethical working environment where employees have greater chances of bad attitude and less tolerance level. Considering these concerns, respective paper will briefly research the relationship between supervisor expediency and employee tolerance level and workplace attitude using the Social Learning Theory proposed by CITATION Ban14 \l 1033 (Bandhura, 2014)

The idea of job attitudes streams from the more extensive writing on social attitudes, so we start our audit by examining how these literary works are connected ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"y8kyGcv5","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Martinko, Harvey, Brees, & Mackey, 2013)","plainCitation":"(Martinko, Harvey, Brees, & Mackey, 2013)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/pGeyefxQ","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/FRTQGK3B"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/FRTQGK3B"],"itemData":{"id":535,"type":"article-journal","title":"A review of abusive supervision research","container-title":"Journal of Organizational Behavior","page":"S120-S137","volume":"34","issue":"S1","author":[{"family":"Martinko","given":"Mark J."},{"family":"Harvey","given":"Paul"},{"family":"Brees","given":"Jeremy R."},{"family":"Mackey","given":"Jeremy"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2013"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Martinko, Harvey, Brees, & Mackey, 2013). A job attitude, obviously, is a kind of attitude, and along these lines it is essential to put job attitudes look into in the more extensive set of social attitudes inquire about. Notwithstanding the long history of research on attitudes, there is no all-around settled upon definition. Maybe the most generally acknowledged meaning of an attitude, in any case, was that a psychological propensity that is communicated by assessing a specific element with some level of support or disgrace ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"zDCrv6dt","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Maio, Haddock, & Verplanken, 2018)","plainCitation":"(Maio, Haddock, & Verplanken, 2018)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/20wZDbIu","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/7NRXQBPB"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/7NRXQBPB"],"itemData":{"id":525,"type":"book","title":"The psychology of attitudes and attitude change","publisher":"Sage Publications Limited","ISBN":"1-5264-5412-2","author":[{"family":"Maio","given":"Gregory R."},{"family":"Haddock","given":"Geoffrey"},{"family":"Verplanken","given":"Bas"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Maio, Haddock, & Verplanken, 2018). Thus, the idea of assessment is a bringing together subject in attitudes explore. One issue for attitudes explore is that people may shape an assessment of (and in this way hold an attitude around) an about the boundless number of substances. A portion of these attitudes may verge on the paltry, at any rate in a general psychological sense (we may have an attitude about a popular on-screen character, about oak wood, or about the shading green), or might be adequately sectioned that they are just of specific intrigue (e.g., an attitude about private undertaking, about expressionist workmanship, and so on.). Given this variety of attitude objects, for what reason is it defended to consider job attitudes as a critical and focal part of social attitudes?

The significance of attitude in understanding psychological wonder was given formal acknowledgment right off the bat ever of psychology. From the season of the idea's entrance into the dialect of psychology as of recently, enthusiasm for attitude has been solid and developing. Nonetheless, throughout the years attitudes have been contemplated with varying emphasis and strategies. It is important to be exact in characterizing attitudes, on the grounds that the assortment of distributed definitions and portrayals is relatively interminable. Attitude might be characterized in two different ways, Conceptual and Operational ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Ie8mSqfP","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Zhu, He, Trevi\\uc0\\u241{}o, Chao, & Wang, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Zhu, He, Treviño, Chao, & Wang, 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/2C7qulbN","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/IXJ78QNR"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/IXJ78QNR"],"itemData":{"id":526,"type":"article-journal","title":"Ethical leadership and follower voice and performance: The role of follower identifications and entity morality beliefs","container-title":"The Leadership Quarterly","page":"702-718","volume":"26","issue":"5","author":[{"family":"Zhu","given":"Weichun"},{"family":"He","given":"Hongwei"},{"family":"Treviño","given":"Linda K."},{"family":"Chao","given":"Melody M."},{"family":"Wang","given":"Weiyue"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Zhu, He, Treviño, Chao, & Wang, 2015) There is a significant distinction in the applied meaning of the term attitude, and dissimilar perspectives with respect to the idea of attitude have created.

Research Title

Impact of Supervisor Expediency on Employee Unethical Behavior in BPO industry of Pakistan: The mediating role of employee unethical tolerance in the odd shift workers.

Significance of Study

The study is significant as often employee tolerance level and attitude are said to be the product of his social influence, work pressure, etc. However, there is a lack of research and understanding how tolerant or “nice” attitude of managers can impact the employee attitude negatively in odd shift workers. This is a critical aspect that needs to be understood to ensure professional success and efficiency. We are focusing on the employees working in shifts (evening & night) where motivation and supervision work in a totally different way. The secondary research is more general and here in this study, it is narrowed down to only shift workers.

1.5.0 Problem Statement

The research and study conducted on the critical framework of determining the relationship, consequence and manifestation of employee tolerance, unethical behavior and supervisor expediency remain intricate. The dire need and the essential investigation ought to be organized to distinguish further the essential roles of unethical tolerance as the potential intermediary to highlight the relation between unethical employee behavior and supervisor expediency.

Research Questions

1.5.1 Research Question 1:This research question studies the effect of our main variables as unethical behavior may be controlled by supervisions but if one has no tendency of being unethical, will the supervisor's expediency affect that individual?

Does the supervisor expediency impact the employee’s unethical behavior significantly?

It's a descriptive study. Primary data collection method will be used to collect relevant information. Statistical analysis methods will be used to analyze the data to check the viability of the relationship between supervisor expediency and unethical behavior of employees

To find out the critical factors which affect the unethical employee behavior

To study the strength of the relationship between supervisor expediency and the unethical employee behavior

To determine any connection present between Employee unethical tolerance and supervisor expediency in the BPO industry

To find out if the unethical employee tolerance mediates the connection between supervisor expediency and unethical employee behavior of the employees working in odd shifts.

Limitations

This study is going to be focused on the BPO industry and the employees working in odd shifts. From the total population, the employees working in S&P global are taken as a sample. Time scarcity and low resources are the major limitations in this study. The gap has been analyzed from the study done by Greenbaum, 2017. In the context of Pakistani culture, gathering data through employees while they are in office is very difficult as they are busy in their work also unwilling to take out time for filling any questionnaire especially where they have to write about their supervisor behaviors.

Literature Review

Venn diagram:

Supervisor Expediency means the feasibility and usefulness of supervisor in order to regulate the efficient work in the workplace, along with ethical behavior of his/her workforce. Many unethical leadership types of research have been conceptual. A possible explanation is that supervisors engage in ethically questionable behavior by adopting a frame of mind which causes them to do so. This is considered as bottom-line mentality as they engage in questionable, unethical behavior for the sake of their own benefit. It is notable to mention that certain organizational practices are responsible for unethical behaviors of both supervisors and employees. These organizational practices include goal settings as well. There are many researchers who described the idea of unethical behavior due to a bottom-line mentality. Bottom-line mentality may contain both extensions of goal shielding and adoption of a business frame. A bottom-line mentality of the supervisor is an obsession with the outcomes of the business. The bottom-line mentality is seen as an important factor in the behavior of supervisors. Certain economists argued that the goal of an organization is to increase the revenue for those organizations, especially shareholder. Supervisors are accepted by standards of profit maximization and efficiency.

Supervisor Expediency

Supervisors assume an instrumental role in shaping the tolerance and unethical behaviors of the employees. The term supervisor expediency refers to the engagement in expedient practices to act in an unethical manner to expedite the manifestations of self-interest and advancement. The unethical leadership research stipulates that the onus lies on the supervisor to give pertinent ramifications for the unsuitable behavior or unethical conduct of the employee. A wide range of researches has studied the variable of supervisor expediency and further advanced to find the exclusive impact and relationship with employee tolerance. Empirical research conducted in 2015 highlighted the relationship between employee expediency and supervisor expediency as moderated by the variable of unethical employee tolerance ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"hM2tftCG","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Sci-Hub | Supervisor expediency to employee expediency: The moderating role of leader-member exchange and the mediating role of employee unethical tolerance.

More than 3,452 students from the Department of Business Administration were invited to be a part of the study. Moreover, they were offered a prorated payment worth 20$ and extra credit. Three distinguished surveys were held over a period of three weeks. The participants reported the instances of unethical tolerance and the last week witnessed the participants with their personal expediency. The retention rate across the three weeks period was approximately 69%. The research was primarily focused at contributing potentially towards the study of supervisor expediency and unethical tolerance. The results and findings demonstrated that the high quality and profound relationship between supervisor and employee might become ambiguous upon the instances of expedient behaviors. In addition, the employees are at the risk of establishing the culture of unethical tolerance. Thus, the very nature and inclination of the employees get affected under the significant influence of expedient behaviors.

Employee Unethical behavior

Each organization delineates an explicit framework of a moral and ethical code of conduct. The employees are obliged to follow the fundamental ethical code independent of the trivial or critical circumstances. Irrefutably, the nature of the ethical values nurtured by the employees is largely dependent on the ethical conduct of the supervisor. Research published in 2016 emphasized the factors responsible for driving the unethical behavior of the employees in the light of supervisor expediency and pertinent variables. The perspective of social learning theory is harnessed to assimilate the fundamental relation between the unethical pro-organizational behavior and the intervention of the supervisor expediency. A critical and fundamental objective of the study is to examine the correlation between the supervisor expediency and unethical behavior. The area of the study was Taiwan where a publicly listed estate agency was used to collect data. The average percentage of data was collected from 52 store managers and 230 real estate agents ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"OMQJEp3e","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Sci-Hub | Leader UPB and Employee Unethical Conduct: A Moral Disengagement Perspective.

To discuss the relationship between the variables, the research aimed at contributing to the research of unethical relationship which is largely overlooked. The significant impact of unethical behavior is directly proportional to the supervisor expediency. Furthermore, the study highlights the adverse impacts of the unethical behavior of the employees on the overall structure of the organization. The values and objectives underpinning the ethical behavior in the leader reciprocate the similar set of ethical standards in the employees.

Employee Unethical Tolerance

The term employee unethical tolerance pertains to the forces of resistant and the urgency of the employees to confront the unethical acts. The supervisor expediency has a profound impact on both employees’ tolerance and unethical behavior. As per as a research study published in 2013, the employees' personal disposition in the framework of unethical behavior is a moderating effect of other variables involved in the environment ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"dNkYpEcK","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Sci-Hub | Transformational Leadership and Follower\\uc0\\u8217{}s Unethical Behavior for the Benefit of the Company: A Two-Study Investigation.

The roles at the organizational level are destined to be shaped as per the intervention, response and the preference of the manager or supervisor. The deliberated study aims at advancing the debate of ethical organizational roles by drawing critical attention to the pro-organizational yet unethical behavior. The study examines the relationship between these variables and engages in analyzing the traits of transformational supervision of the employees. With the widespread and protracted norms of unethical preference and prevalence in the organization, the supervisor expediency entails a fundamental risk of enhancing the probability of the untoward or unexpected reaction from the employees. Consequently, the two-study investigation explored the intricate relation between employees' willingness and the supervision mechanism. The relationship reflected that the inherent traits of employees dominate the organizational traits, codes and ethical values. However, the recommended changes and the enhancement in the protracted culture of unethical behavior in the organizations ought to be confronted by the prudent and frequent intervention of the transformational leader. Employee unethical tolerance is, irrefutably, a manifestation of the ethical behavior and intent of the essential variable of the supervisor expediency. The organizational success and the prevalence of employee tolerance lie at the very heart of the deliberated values observed by the employees and supervisor.

They're excessively put resources into being enjoyed and they're uneasy setting points of confinement or giving results. They particularly don't care for dealing with relational clashes between staff, expecting that something like one individual will be troubled with the manner in which they settle the issue. Be that as it may, this makes many issues in the work environment.

Maybe they have an employee who's behaving gravely, by coming in late, leaving early, staying away from work, or surfing the net when they should work. Rather than calling this individual to the undertaking, the manager chooses to give this specialist another opportunity, at that point a third, a fourth, and an eighth. The "nice" manager is planning to maintain a strategic distance from a showdown and needs to trust that the employee has the earnest aim of doing their business to the best of their capacity ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"D9Kk41Y3","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Nielsen, 2013)","plainCitation":"(Nielsen, 2013)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/JxYmIk1B","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/Z6CIYJ68"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/Z6CIYJ68"],"itemData":{"id":523,"type":"article-journal","title":"How can we make organizational interventions work?

In the meantime, there are repercussions all through the whole working environment because of the manager's decision to be "nice" to this employee.

Despite the fact that the working environment isn't equivalent to the home, and despite the fact that the general population Supervisor Expediency

on at work isn't our family, when we're assembled together for quite a while with similar people, we individuals normally have family-type responses to each other ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"5hcw1RG7","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Tziner & Sharoni, 2014)","plainCitation":"(Tziner & Sharoni, 2014)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/pEI5QvOP","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/5I4XU89W"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/5I4XU89W"],"itemData":{"id":527,"type":"article-journal","title":"Organizational citizenship behavior, organizational justice, job stress, and workfamily conflict: Examination of their interrelationships with respondents from a non-Western culture","container-title":"Revista de Psicología del Trabajo y de las Organizaciones","volume":"30","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Tziner","given":"Aharon"},{"family":"Sharoni","given":"Gil"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Tziner & Sharoni, 2014). As it were, relational elements at work will frequently reflect familial ones.

For instance, the manager is regularly observed as a parental figure. The manager's job, similar to that of the parent, is to control their laborers, resolve troubles that emerge with them, and give suitable ramifications for an insufficient execution or unsuitable behavior ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"5JGyNitc","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Tziner & Sharoni, 2014)","plainCitation":"(Tziner & Sharoni, 2014)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/pEI5QvOP","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/5I4XU89W"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/5I4XU89W"],"itemData":{"id":527,"type":"article-journal","title":"Organizational citizenship behavior, organizational justice, job stress, and workfamily conflict: Examination of their interrelationships with respondents from a non-Western culture","container-title":"Revista de Psicología del Trabajo y de las Organizaciones","volume":"30","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Tziner","given":"Aharon"},{"family":"Sharoni","given":"Gil"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Tziner & Sharoni, 2014). At the point when the manager neglects to do these things it results in a work environment without a "decent parent," and prompts indistinguishable kinds of outcomes from would occur in a family with remiss child rearing.

At the point when the "nice" manager gives second, third, and eighth opportunities to an employee, it completes a couple of things (Vale, 2013). As a matter of first importance, much the same as with a ruined tyke, it empowers the misbehaving employee to continue escaping with their inadmissible work environment behaviors. What's more, much the same as a ruined youngster who never again considers their lenient parent important, the misbehaving specialist, in the wake of being given such huge numbers of shots, winds up persuaded that they could escape with doing whatever they please ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"kA4cam3M","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Namasivayam, Guchait, & Lei, 2014)","plainCitation":"(Namasivayam, Guchait, & Lei, 2014)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/jJ7WRmKR","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/NW7NPQQZ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/NW7NPQQZ"],"itemData":{"id":538,"type":"article-journal","title":"The influence of leader empowering behaviors and employee psychological empowerment on customer satisfaction","container-title":"International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management","page":"69-84","volume":"26","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Namasivayam","given":"Karthik"},{"family":"Guchait","given":"Priyanko"},{"family":"Lei","given":"Puiwa"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Namasivayam, Guchait, & Lei, 2014).

At the point when the "nice" manager enables the misbehaving specialist to escape with their improper behavior, alternate laborers end up furious with their "sibling" who by one way or another doesn't need to pursue the standards that whatever is left of them are being held to (Vale, 2013).

This unjustifiable circumstance assembles hatred, and prompts alternate employees taking more wiped out days, not being completely present when they are grinding away, and even possibly carrying on in inactive forceful behavior; suppose, by not getting an essential bit of work done by the deadline, conceivably making profound shame the manager ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"s0XxUaMo","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Namasivayam et al., 2014)","plainCitation":"(Namasivayam et al., 2014)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/jJ7WRmKR","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/NW7NPQQZ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/NW7NPQQZ"],"itemData":{"id":538,"type":"article-journal","title":"The influence of leader empowering behaviors and employee psychological empowerment on customer satisfaction","container-title":"International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management","page":"69-84","volume":"26","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Namasivayam","given":"Karthik"},{"family":"Guchait","given":"Priyanko"},{"family":"Lei","given":"Puiwa"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Namasivayam et al., 2014). The employees additionally feel a feeling of powerlessness, on the grounds that the individual they were relying on to determine this issue - the manager - have relinquished their parental, or managerial, job by enabling the misbehaving employee to keep doing whatever they need.

Alternate employees can't address their manager about this, and working environment morale dives, causing more non-attendance, presenteeism and irate carrying on (Aheaene, Mathieu & Rapp, 2005). Rather than concentrating on doing their work to the best of their capacities, alternate employees invest their energy at work concentrated on how their partner is escaping with homicide and how their manager has surrendered them.

Contentions start breaking out between associates, as the disappointed employees take out their outrage on their apathetic partner and in a roundabout way, release their hatred out on their manager (Coiyle-Shapiro &Neuman, 2004). Efficiency drops steeply and the entire work environment condition starts crumbling underneath the manager's feet. This should be "nice" and to give "one more shot" to their employee has made a lethal working environment that is lost its essential core interest.

The response to the issue is for the manager to really manage their employees. Giving such huge numbers of opportunities to one sluggish or flighty laborer is a horrible thought for the majority of the above reasons (Coiyle-Shapiro &Neuman, 2004). Rather, the manager ought to pursue the HR convention of their working environment in directing and disciplining any specialist who is avoiding their obligations.

Unethical behavior in the workplace is referred to as the actions that are against the standards of conduct established by the organization. Unethical behaviors are described as those in which an employee goes about his business but he neglects the standards of that company. There are many circumstances when an unethical behavior can even break the law of the country. Employees can commit that crime by using the belongings of the company for their own benefit. Spending random time on net surfing during work time also considered as an unethical work because employees waste their valuable time which must be spent for the betterment of that particular organization. Time misuse also considered unethical behavior as employees are not engaged in activities to perform their specified tasks which can reduce productivity. Extending breaks beyond allocated time, falsifying time sheets, leaving early, or during work time, engaging in lengthy gossip sessions also considered unethical behavior. One of the major crimes is to embezzle company funds which can even result in imprisonment if proved. An employee who has access to the financial record of a company can embezzle the funds of the company by using his expertise and access. Abusive behavior with other employees is very unethical and employers often face difficulties dealing with such behaviors.

The ruined laborer doesn't care for or regard their manager any more than alternate specialists do; they're simply exploiting their manager's niceness, similarly that ruined kids lack respect and endeavor their lenient guardians. The manager must see that being so "nice" is empowering their employee's terrible behavior, while in the meantime distancing their different specialists ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"IgbRNmyt","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Festing & Sch\\uc0\\u228{}fer, 2014)","plainCitation":"(Festing & Schäfer, 2014)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/r0eJFfl7","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/QV98ZFBU"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/QV98ZFBU"],"itemData":{"id":540,"type":"article-journal","title":"Generational challenges to talent management: A framework for talent retention based on the psychological-contract perspective","container-title":"Journal of World Business","page":"262-271","volume":"49","issue":"2","author":[{"family":"Festing","given":"Marion"},{"family":"Schäfer","given":"Lynn"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Festing & Schäfer, 2014).

Hypothesis 1: Supervisor Expediency has a significant impact on Employee unethical behavior.

Model of Approach (Social Learning Skill Theory; The impact of employee unethical tolerance on unethical behavior in daily tasks

The Social learning by Bandura fills in as a connection that associates the behaviorist perspective and the cognitive perspective, supporting the behaviorist's confidence in the significance of fortification on keeping up conduct on the one hand, while recognizing the impact of cognition on learning on the other (Walsh et al. 2014).

As opposed to the radical behaviorists, be that as it may, Bandura's social learning hypothesis recognizes the more noteworthy significance of cognition or contemplations about discernments instead of unimportant reflexive reactions to demonstrations of fortification or discipline as the bases for conduct (Walsh et al. 2014). Because of these constant learning encounters, individuals shape speculations about their particular advantages, capacities, qualities, and convictions. A few encounters may create paramount interests and interests; others may not. Individuals tend to float normally toward exercises that yield passionate, social, and budgetary advantages. They tend to keep away from exercises that are distasteful and yield few advantages. After some time these inclinations lead individuals to participate in different kinds of occupations.

With the concepts of social learning skill theory, the employee learns a specific behavior from their supervisors if that particular behavior is beneficial for their supervisors. They intend to learn that if a certain task regardless of being ethical or unethical, benefits their supervisor; this type of practice will benefit them too. The employees tend to get more tolerant of this type of behavior hence acts in the same way for the desired outcomes.Through the process of learning they learn that if expedient behavior of the supervisor is beneficial for supervisor’s performance, employees tend to get more tolerant towards expediency hence employee being tolerant towards unethical tasks results in enhanced unethical behavior in the longer run.Hypothesis 2: Employee unethical tolerance has a significant role in employee’s unethical behaviors.

Employee unethical tolerance is characterized as the mediator in the research association developed by the researcher. The phenomenon of unethical employee tolerance refers to the level of friction concerning their attitudes towards unethical practices. If employees are more intend towards unethical behaviors then it's the responsibility of employers to make certain changes in order to tolerate their behavior.

Bandura's social learning hypothesis recognizes the more noteworthy significance of cognition or contemplations about discernments instead of unimportant reflexive reactions to demonstrations of fortification or discipline as the bases for conduct. According to swank Trust is the establishment of the counseling relationship, and supervisors commit to regard and ensure the hopeful's privilege of security and mystery. Employee's unethical behavior is positively related to employee's victimization. Co-worker's deontic injustice mediated the relationship between employee's unethical behavior and employee's victimization. The mediating effects would be exacerbated by ethical leadership, yet mitigated by task interdependence. According to Swank, ethical leadership moderated the relationship between employee's unethical behavior and co-worker's deontic injustice. Task interdependence moderated the relationship between co-worker's deontic injustice and employee's victimization.

Leniency Bias

Higher evaluations can influence incentive arrangement decidedly by expanding coinciding between execution rating expectations and got execution appraisals ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Hedw54Ni","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Swank, Fahs, & Frost, 2013)","plainCitation":"(Swank, Fahs, & Frost, 2013)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/YBCYgdOr","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/G6X3HL97"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/G6X3HL97"],"itemData":{"id":541,"type":"article-journal","title":"Region, social identities, and disclosure practices as predictors of heterosexist discrimination against sexual minorities in the United States","container-title":"Sociological Inquiry","page":"238-258","volume":"83","issue":"2","author":[{"family":"Swank","given":"Eric"},{"family":"Fahs","given":"Breanne"},{"family":"Frost","given":"David M."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2013"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Swank, Fahs, & Frost, 2013). People tend to overestimate themselves and consequently to rate themselves higher than their supervisors do. Employees who trust they have gotten a lower execution rating (and thus less pay) than they merit, are expected to bring down their execution with the end goal to re-establish a feeling of value. More lenient execution appraisals may limit these feelings of injustice and the subsequent negative consequences for execution ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"IznX8FeJ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Swank et al., 2013)","plainCitation":"(Swank et al., 2013)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/YBCYgdOr","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/G6X3HL97"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/G6X3HL97"],"itemData":{"id":541,"type":"article-journal","title":"Region, social identities, and disclosure practices as predictors of heterosexist discrimination against sexual minorities in the United States","container-title":"Sociological Inquiry","page":"238-258","volume":"83","issue":"2","author":[{"family":"Swank","given":"Eric"},{"family":"Fahs","given":"Breanne"},{"family":"Frost","given":"David M."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2013"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Swank et al., 2013).

Moreover, more lenient execution appraisals can keep up or increment the employee's trust in his capacity and adequacy, which can be significant to the firm since it builds the employee's inspiration to attempt goal-oriented undertakings and endure notwithstanding when looked with difficulty.

Then again, since execution evaluations give employees a flag about how their execution is seen by their supervisor, lenient appraisals may lead employees to erroneously presume that they are playing out their errands as wanted by their supervisor (Swank et al., 2013). Furnishing employees with this mixed up impression will negatively affect execution since it spurs them to keep on taking incorrectly/imperfect activities ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"IyV1D2gI","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Swank et al., 2013)","plainCitation":"(Swank et al., 2013)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/YBCYgdOr","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/G6X3HL97"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/G6X3HL97"],"itemData":{"id":541,"type":"article-journal","title":"Region, social identities, and disclosure practices as predictors of heterosexist discrimination against sexual minorities in the United States","container-title":"Sociological Inquiry","page":"238-258","volume":"83","issue":"2","author":[{"family":"Swank","given":"Eric"},{"family":"Fahs","given":"Breanne"},{"family":"Frost","given":"David M."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2013"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Swank et al., 2013). Consequently, leniency bias is anticipated to affect exertion positively, yet this will prompt enhanced execution if the behavior that is animated is attractive. Since supervisors are expected to be mindful about animating bothersome activities, the general impact of leniency bias is expected to be certain.

Importance of Complying with State Laws and Ethics Codes

Right, when supervisors are looked with moral circumstances that are hard to decide, they are depended upon to participate in a carefully saw as a moral essential initiative process, counseling available resources as required. Supervisors perceive that settling moral issues is a technique; moral reasoning consolidates thought of master regards, capable moral guidelines, and moral checks (Whmeyer et al. 2018).

Supervisors' exercises should be solid with the spirit and what's more the letter of these moral rules. No particular moral essential administration always indicate best, so supervisors are depended upon to use an acceptable model of fundamental authority that can hold up under open examination of its application. Through a picked moral essential administration process and evaluation of the setting of the situation, supervisors work helpfully with a contender to settle on decisions that propel applicants' advancement and change (Hirschi et al. 2015). A break of the measures and gauges gave in this does not so much constitute honest to goodness commitment or encroachment of the law; such action is set up in legitimate and lawful techniques.

Supervisors support applicant advancement and change in ways that develop the intrigue and welfare of competitors and propel course of action of strong associations. Trust is the establishment of the counseling relationship, and supervisors commit to regard and ensure the hopeful's privilege of security and mystery (Walsh, 2014). Supervisors viably try to fathom the different social establishments of the hopefuls they serve. Supervisors moreover explore their own social identities and how these impact their characteristics and feelings about the counseling strategy. Besides, supervisors are asked to add to society by devoting a piece of their master practices zero financial return.

Multiculturalism

Fouad and Bingham built up the Culturally Appropriate Workplace Model, which recommends that notwithstanding special individual qualities, an individual's career choices are affected by sex, family, racial/ethnic personality, and opportunity structures (Di Fabio et al. 2015). Essentially, Leong and Hartung (1997) introduced a model concentrated on culturally suitable interventions, starting with recognizing professional issues and analyzing the choice to get to administrations inside the structure of the candidate's cultural setting. Since these more up to date theories center around career determinants, for example, cultural standards and qualities, family, and wellbeing, they would likely function admirably with various grown-ups who are thinking about work by tending to the more extensive cultural settings that shape career designs (Rochat & Rossier, 2016). While these multicultural models of workplace don't expressly address work fulfillment and inspiration; they can expand the pertinence of workplace interventions formed by formative or characteristic theories by recognizing and investigating sociocultural impacts on retirement choices.

Contingent upon the culture, basic career leadership might be a family procedure, is frequently impacted by social boundaries, for example, discrimination, and might be less striking than different parts (Rochat & Rossier, 2016). In this way, helping experts adjust the C-DAC model to give all the more culturally proper interventions. For example, notwithstanding the professional appraisals that Super and partners suggested, supervisors can evaluate their candidate's (a) cultural character advancement, (b) acculturation, (c) individualism-community, and (d) encounters of stereotyping, partiality, and discrimination (Barunstein-Bercovitz et al. 2014). As opposed to expecting conventional elements of basic career leadership are all-inclusive, these measures can enable supervisors to distinguish culturally proper methods to investigate retirement choices. Thought of cultural variables can likewise help career supervisors to abstain from giving "excessively disentangled arrangements" (Flum, 2015) to complex retirement concerns. In fact, the supervisor's utilization of self-reflection and metacognitive techniques all through the counseling procedure to evaluate the suitability and adequacy of interventions is a basic bit of multicultural systems ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"CXGZmIp2","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Alfes, Shantz, Truss, & Soane, 2013)","plainCitation":"(Alfes, Shantz, Truss, & Soane, 2013)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/cYcmcMrr","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/69D3P2FK"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/69D3P2FK"],"itemData":{"id":534,"type":"article-journal","title":"The link between perceived human resource management practices, engagement and employee behaviour: a moderated mediation model","container-title":"The international journal of human resource management","page":"330-351","volume":"24","issue":"2","author":[{"family":"Alfes","given":"Kerstin"},{"family":"Shantz","given":"Amanda D."},{"family":"Truss","given":"Catherine"},{"family":"Soane","given":"Emma C."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2013"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Alfes, Shantz, Truss, & Soane, 2013). Cultural components are additionally associated with usage of administrations. Boundaries to proficient care incorporate cultural standards of looking for help from group individuals, question of the healthcare framework, dialect, and learned weakness (i.e., long-haul career appears to be unattainable) because of unequal open doors and discrimination (Masdonati et al. 2014). In this manner, to break down, these obstructions helping experts could give exceed inside confided in group associations and recognize bilingual referrals and assets inside their zone, among different illustrations.

Social Learning Theory

The social cognitive theory was created by Bandura (1969) to clarify the way identity, and practices emerge from a person's one of a kind learning encounters and the impacts antagonistic and encouraging feedback have on these encounters. As indicated by social cognitive or learning hypothesis, three noteworthy kinds of learning encounter impact practices and skills that enable a man to work successfully in society. Bandura recommended that instrumental learning encounters happen when an individual is decidedly or contrarily fortified for conduct, associative learning encounters happen when an individual associate a formerly impartial occasion with a sincerely loaded occasion, and vicarious encounters happen when one individual watches the conduct of others or increases new data and thoughts from different sources.

Krumboltz's hypothesis (Brown, 2015) based on crafted by Bandura (1969, 1977) to build up his reexamined hypothesis which "places two noteworthy sorts of learning encounters that outcome in individual behavioral and cognitive skills and inclinations that enable individuals to work successfully on the planet" (234). Initially, it is instrumental learning encounters which "happen when a man is decidedly strengthened or rebuffed for the activity of some conduct and the associated cognitive skills" (234).

Second, is associative learning encounters which "happen when individuals associate some already affectively impartial occasion or jolt with a sincerely loaded occasion or boost" (234). Inside these elements, Krumboltz built up various testable suggestions and confirmed that equivalent significance lays on the opposite impact of each ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a6TuP3rP","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Swartz, 2014)","plainCitation":"(Swartz, 2014)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/FQswUxmC","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/GHCD9H3S"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/GHCD9H3S"],"itemData":{"id":537,"type":"article-journal","title":"Applications of Psychological Theories for Career Development","container-title":"Career Development and Vocational Behavior of Racial and Ethnic Minorities","page":"103","author":[{"family":"Swartz","given":"Jody L."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Swartz, 2014). Recorded here are the three fundamental factor bunches (Capuzzi& Stauffer, 2016).

Variables that impact inclinations with an instructive or word related inclination being an evaluative self-perception speculation in light of those learning encounters apropos to any career undertaking and suggestions clarifying the obtaining of these inclinations.

Elements are impacting career-basic leadership skills with suggestions clarifying how these specific skills are gained.

Elements impacting passage practices into instructive or word related choices with suggestions clarifying variables accounting for the genuine section practices into occupations, preparing programs, or instructive courses of study.

The theory of social learning isn't formative, does not by any means account for work change, and would in this manner not be valuable in deciding to regulate conduct or outlining career advancement programs. Krumboltz's (1981) hypothesis isn't a noteworthy impact on career improvement inquire about or the act of workplace (Capuzzi& Stauffer, 2016). Scientists do hope to see analysts pulled in to ventures including the develops of the Krumboltz hypothesis because the hypothesis is firmly built and speculations of the hypothesis are testable.

Learning about career choices, creating premiums, detailing desires, and testing career ways are frequently associated with vicarious learning and shift in the view of the accessibility of assets and openings (Corey, 2015). Cultural determinants, for example, race/ethnicity and sexual orientation, among different components of decent variety impact career choices. Consequently, existing models of work fulfillment and inspiration that were created inside an individualistic system may not make a difference too to people from collectivistic cultures (Corey, 2015).

Changing Action into Learning; Impact of Supervisor Expediency on Employee unethical tolerance

Learning can be characterized as either instrumental or associative. Instrumental learning happens when a man makes a move and watches the results of that activity (Gordon & Steele, 2015). Outcomes may incorporate remarks from other individuals, detectable outcomes, or effect on others. Thomas learned that exceeding expectations in math had positive prizes. He delighted in observing his schoolmates enhance because of his mentoring, and he liked the recognition he got from his educator.

Associative learning happens when a man makes associations between two marvels or boosts. Learning comes about because of perception and molding; for instance, watching and tuning in to other individuals and watching the positive prizes or discipline they get from specific activities. Thomas watched that fitness and happiness appeared to go together. He noticed that some of his schoolmates could begin despising math while getting horrible scores however then learned to like it after they comprehended it. The model of this study works with this theory, as if the supervisor tends to be expedient it will affect the tolerance of employees too. First, the action will change into learning and then learning into action.

Hypothesis 3: Supervisor’s expedient behavior enhances the tolerance of employees towards unethical tasks

The mediating role of employee unethical tolerance

This study further focuses on the effects of expediency on the behaviors of our employees by judging the attitudes of unethical tolerance as a meditation tool. Literature shows that any interaction between two parties socially can mold the attitudes of one or the other party involved ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"ePgiWV2t","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Bradford, Jentzsch, & Gomez, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Bradford, Jentzsch, & Gomez, 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/2W4h4iT7","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/73ARTXXW"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/73ARTXXW"],"itemData":{"id":524,"type":"article-journal","title":"From self to social cognition: Theory of mind mechanisms and their relation to executive functioning","container-title":"Cognition","page":"21-34","volume":"138","author":[{"family":"Bradford","given":"Elisabeth EF"},{"family":"Jentzsch","given":"Ines"},{"family":"Gomez","given":"Juan-Carlos"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Bradford, Jentzsch, & Gomez, 2015). The tolerance for any attitude tends to move the person towards that attitude in a whole bigger perspective. If the employee is tolerant for unethical tasks then the employee tends to be more acceptable for the unethical and illegitimate tasks of organization CITATION Reb171 \l 1033 (Greenbaum, Hill, & Mawritz, 2017).

The tolerance of unethical tasks is also enhanced with the concept of Machiavellianism. Machiavellianism in psychology refers to a personality trait which sees a person so focused on their own interests they will manipulate, deceive, and exploit others to achieve their goals ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"pEhsxVkf","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Cacciattolo, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Cacciattolo, 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/dDmsSIbC","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/G85RQYA5"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/G85RQYA5"],"itemData":{"id":530,"type":"article-journal","title":"ORGANISATIONAL POLITICS: THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE SIDES","container-title":"European Scientific Journal, ESJ","volume":"11","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Cacciattolo","given":"Karen"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Cacciattolo, 2015). As per our model for this study, supervisor expediency affects the unethical behavior of the employees with tolerance for unethical behavior acts as mediator. Well, in literature it is shown that supervisor expediency is enhanced when a supervisor derives his/her benefits to enhance the organizations' benefit ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"R4GBbGfo","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Graham, Ziegert, & Capitano, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Graham, Ziegert, & Capitano, 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/utyWPBlP","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/I3ZPU8WN"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/I3ZPU8WN"],"itemData":{"id":536,"type":"article-journal","title":"The effect of leadership style, framing, and promotion regulatory focus on unethical pro-organizational behavior","container-title":"Journal of business ethics","page":"423-436","volume":"126","issue":"3","author":[{"family":"Graham","given":"Katrina A."},{"family":"Ziegert","given":"Jonathan C."},{"family":"Capitano","given":"Johnna"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Graham, Ziegert, & Capitano, 2015). Hence when an employee follows the supervisor's steps to be beneficial for the organizations whether through ethical or unethical behavior, it increases the employee's unethical tolerance for unethical tasks.

Hypothesis 4: Employee unethical tolerance mediates the relationship between the significant effects of supervisor expediency on employee unethical behavior.

Recognizing the Influence of Genetic Factors and Environmental Conditions

Hereditary variables and natural conditions, for example, physical characteristics and capacities (or special needs), abilities, aptitudes, birth family, birth area, and family assets cooperate with learning encounters to frame a candidate's undertaking approach skills. These skills incorporate the manners by which candidates cognitively process their general surroundings, including their convictions, values, states of mind, emotions, work propensities, objectives, and desires (Hartung, 2016).

Accentuating Lifelong Learning

Candidates must not see their absence of a career design as uncertainty however rather praises it as receptiveness. Individuals have an assortment of learning encounters, both arranged and impromptu, because of the happenstance occasions they encounter (Rottinghaus et al. 2017). Career supervisors must get ready candidates for a counseling procedure that holds onto happenstance as an essential part. Supervisors ought to solicit candidates to recognize past examples from happenstance in their lives, analyze specific activities that made these spontaneous occasions, and afterward start new activities to produce facilitate impromptu occasions. Candidates ought to be urged to see startling occasions as open doors for learning and investigation (Rottinghaus et al. 2017). Career supervisors should call attention to that candidates can start an activity that will make more shot occasions utilizing their triumphs with earlier happenstance occasions as proof that the candidates know how to do it.

3. Research Methodology

3.1 Preface

This research was quantitative research which focused on our defined variables in a way that desired results were deduced. The research was to be conducted in such a way that we can check the situations where and how supervisor expediency affects the unethical employee behavior directly or indirectly.

3.2 Research Methodology

In this chapter, the procedures and methods of data collection and analysis are defined.

3.3 Research Process

3.4 Sources of Primary Data

The research was conducted on the employees of various companies who are working in shifts that are evening and the night shifts. Supervisors were most likely to be lenient and not focused on ethical ways of doing certain tasks. Shift workers were more likely to be different in doing their tasks as there is very less supervision on them in the shifts. Our main focus was on S& P Global, Skyscrapers Pvt Ltd, J Telecommunication and MTBC. The questionnaires were shared with the employees who are mostly in night & evening shifts. The research was going to be descriptive in nature to broaden the avenues of reality.

3.5 Data Collection

The primary data was collected through structured questionnaires adopted from secondary sources. Following table shows the variables and the Authors from where questionnaires have been adopted.

3.6 Questionnaires

The questionnaire was to be 7 point scale starting from strongly agree to strongly disagree along with some other items where 6 point scale was used. The questionnaire started from the demographic section following an item for expediency, unethical behavior and tolerance. For the purpose of collecting data total of 200 questionnaires were floated to the sample and 130 responses were collected. The questionnaires were distributed randomly with employees as well as the supervisors too. As we know supervisors also work under specific persons, if a person was working as a team lead over 4-5 employees, he/she was considered as a supervisor in our study.

3.7 Measures:

Supervisor Expediency:

A 7 point scale was used to gather the responses against the independent variable of this study. There were four items used in this section to study how the supervisor's expediency was measure with the perceptions of employees. The scale starts from "Never" to "All the time". The scale was adopted from (Greenbaum, 2017) paper about supervisor expediency.

Employee Unethical Behavior:

The second section of our questionnaire focused on our dependent variable. It was also a structured questionnaire containing 17 items which were studied in 5 point scale. It was filled by the respondents who were employees working under specific supervisors.

Employee Unethical Tolerance:

The mediating variable was studied in this section. It was a structured questionnaire with open-ended questionnaires containing six items. It was a 7 point scale starting from "Strongly disagree" to "Strongly agree"

3.8 Data Analysis

Data analysis was a procedure of structure and desiring to the mass of collected knowledge. To conduct an analysis of the data collected through questionnaires from our sample, statistical techniques were used. Correlation and regression analysis was conducted to check the strength and viability of the hypothesis. SPSS was used to conduct the statistical analysis. It was categorized as quantitative information analysis. In order to testify the hypothesis of mediation, the mediation model was analyzed to check the role of employee unethical tolerance in the relation of the independent and the dependent variables.

4. Analysis and Discussion

4.1 Result and Analysis:This chapter will focus on the results we got from our instrument. All the three variables involved in the study are studied statistically to check the relation between them. Two hundred questionnaires are sent to the sample. Total 130 responses were received and were studied further for our study. The results are obtained by using these responses using SPSS and as the desired result will be highlighted and how it works in the shift workers.

This chapter will start from the analytics of the demographics of our respondents and how our study gets molded with respect to the demographics. Further in this chapter we will explain the analytics and all the results we obtained while using our instrument.

This table explains the test ran to check the relationship of our independent variable and the mediator with our dependent variable used in our model. . In the first column, the relationship between the independent variable is explained in terms of the value of β. The value of β is for the relationship between supervisor expediency and the unethical employee behavior. The value of β is .194 and the value of t is 4.615 and in the last row significance is .000. The main model of this study focuses on the relation of supervisor expediency and the unethical employee behavior. So if there are 100 units increased in the expediency the unethical employee behavior is increased by 19.4%. It means is the supervisor is expedient the employee’s behavior tends to be unethical in the terms explained above in the shift time workers. It is observed that the independent variable affect the dependent variable directly to a significant extent. In this paper, "Employee unethical tolerance" is taken as the mediator variable. As mentioned in the Coefficients table the value of β is .459 and the value of t is 7.135. So it states that our mediator variable affects the dependent variable in a way which enhances or makes the relationship possible between supervisor expediency and the unethical employee behavior. Mediator variable basically defines the relationship between the independent and the dependent variable. This explains that if an employee is tolerant in the unethical behavior, he/she is intended to the act in unethical behavior.

The above table explains the mediation model that we used to check the viability of mediator in our research. The nonparametric bootstrapping method with 95% confidence interval was used ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"DTdTwccN","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Bonett & Wright, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Bonett & Wright, 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/Gq6y6Mzd","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/7FYFTASK"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/7FYFTASK"],"itemData":{"id":528,"type":"article-journal","title":"Cronbach's alpha reliability: Interval estimation, hypothesis testing, and sample size planning","container-title":"Journal of Organizational Behavior","page":"3-15","volume":"36","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Bonett","given":"Douglas G."},{"family":"Wright","given":"Thomas A."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Bonett & Wright, 2015). To check the significance of the variables, it has to be checked whether there is any zero value in between upper and lower limits ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"ZKzD2ILQ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Bonett & Wright, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Bonett & Wright, 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":"wys6I3Ku/Gq6y6Mzd","uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/7FYFTASK"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/7FYFTASK"],"itemData":{"id":528,"type":"article-journal","title":"Cronbach's alpha reliability: Interval estimation, hypothesis testing, and sample size planning","container-title":"Journal of Organizational Behavior","page":"3-15","volume":"36","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Bonett","given":"Douglas G."},{"family":"Wright","given":"Thomas A."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Bonett & Wright, 2015). P value has to be less than .05 and it is a two-tailed test. Bootstrapping method is used where 5000 bootstraps resamples were applied. Model 4 of SPSS is also performed for Employee Unethical Behavior to analyze the direct and indirect effect on it.

To check the viability of mediator and it's a meditation on the study conducted, the last two columns where lower and upper limits are mentioned had to be focused. First of all there has to be no zero value in the limits extracted through bootstrapping. As the upper limit is .3394 and the lower limit is .1522, unethical employee tolerance has an effect of meditation on the relation between SE and EU-Beh.

Discussion

After conducting all the analysis, we have come to the deduction that there is a significant relationship between our variables. Total 130 responses were analyzed from the total population as total 200 questionnaires were distributed. As mentioned in the previous chapters all the demographics are explained. This chapter will discuss the crux of the study where we explain the relationship in a more exploratory way.

The study can be explained in a way which can help the organizations for a better outcome and for researchers it can be helpful too for further conventions in the study on shift time workers. As the targeted organizations work 24 hours a day. The higher management is not present in odd shifts which affect our study for unethical behavior. Our main focus was on the supervisor expediency which is already explained in the introduction of this paper. As every research is conducted to review the relationship between the variables and how or what effect this relationship. In this study it was the mediator which enhances the process of the relationship the variables contain. The gap measured for this research was the different orientation of work in the odd shifts especially in the corporate culture of Pakistan. This study focused on four research questions that are mentioned at the start of the paper. After evaluating the SPSS analysis all of the before-mentioned questions will be discussed in this chapter.

5.2 Research Question

Does employee’s unethical tolerance affect the employee’s unethical behavior?

An analysis was conducted in order to check the viability of the intervening variable that is unethical employee tolerance. It may have an impact on both independent and the dependent variable. Employee unethical tolerance not only enhances the relationship between the variables but it has a larger impact on our dependent variable which makes the relationship between main variables viable.

To accept any hypothesis or to check whether the research question is viable in the desired outcome of the study, the p-value is the significant factor. The p-value is .000 which is less than .05 so there is an existing direct relationship which intervenes between the relationship of employee unethical tolerance and the unethical employee behavior. As the beta value for the effect of supervisor expediency on unethical employee behavior directly is around 19% and the beta value for the effect of mediating variable on the dependent variable is 44% so it shows that unethical employee tolerance intervenes the relationship of the variables.

H2 is accepted

5.3 Research Question

Does supervisor expediency have an impact on employee’s unethical tolerance?

This relation is quite clear in the statistical analysis. It can be checked through various analyses. Firstly, it is studied by co-relation analysis. In the following table it is stated that the relationship between supervisor expediency and the unethical employee tolerance is significant having a value of .795 as the coefficient of correlation.

Model 4 for the mediation analysis also explains this relation when the outcome is selected as the mediator that is unethical employee tolerance. It shows the β value.591in Table 4.14 that is significant and shows the clear relationship between supervisor expediency and EU-Tol. Mediation is also dependent on this hypothesis or research question, hence it is discussed later in the chapter.H3 is accepted

5.4 Research Question

Do employees unethical tolerance mediate the relationship between SE and EUB?

It is evident by the analysis and statistics that the independent variable that is supervisor expediency affects the unethical employee behavior directly in the presence of unethical employee tolerance. The significance levels are defined and are suitable for the study conducted in this paper. Hence the role of the independent variable (supervisor expediency) is defined in the presence of a mediator on employee unethical behavior. Mediation analysis is stated in the previous chapter in table 4.14 where it is clearly mentioned that there are no zero values in the limits of the bootstrapping so the role of EU_Tol as mediator exists significantly in this study

6. Conclusion:

This study is conducted to explain the relationship between supervisor expediency and the unethical employee behavior in the tasks. These both variables are well known and their importance is clearly defined in the organizations. BPO and customer services industry is a major part of the employment in Pakistan. The previous study clearly explained that the variables used in our study are linked with each other as our study focuses on the role supervisor expediency in the odd shift workers; it is more intense in our targeted sample.

This is research is backed up with social learning theory which works in the back end to explain the relationship proposed. Behaviors can be acquired through observation and reinforcement CITATION Alb71 \l 1033 (Bandhura A., 2014). As if the supervisor is expedient the employee tolerance for unethical tasks is breached in a way that he or she starts acting unethically in the daily routine. The questionnaires used were adopted from the secondary research and it is divided into three parts where supervisor expediency, unethical employee tolerance and unethical behavior are studied.

This paper focuses on the mediating role of unethical employee tolerance in the relation of main variables. The role of the mediator is clearly significant in this research as there are four research questions derived from the framework model. All of these questions are studied through scrutiny and answered accordingly. After analysis and deductions the results are in favour of the research which can contribute to future research on HR practices of the same industry. As our study focuses on the companies working in Pakistan, there are some norms and contextual variables which work in the enhancement of the relationship between the variables.

6.1 Limitations of Study:

As every research have some barriers while studying the desired outcome. In this study role of supervisor expediency is measure in an employee’s unethical behavior. Following are some limitations faced while conducting this study

Time and resources barriers. As the study would have been more descriptive and accurate if the time was ample.

The responses were taken from the subordinates who had to measure the expediency of their supervisors. Biases are expected in the responses as the employees may or may not be truthful in their responses

The data was collected from the employees from the odd shifts. It was difficult to visit these organizations in the evening or night.

The BPO industry works 24 hours a day and the employees are on the go every second in the office. So they were very busy whenever I visited them. Time shortage may have been an issue as they have limited breaks and every break is measured by high-level software.

The study is also derived from the social and the cultural aspects of our organizations which may not be true for the other countries but it can be further researched in Pakistan in the same or any other industry.

Directions for Future Research:

This research focuses on the issues in HR practices in odd shifts workers of big organizations. In this era organizations are intending to work 24 hours to achieve optimum success in their ventures. In future the research can be conducted on a bigger scale where more factors can be studied which affects the work life of odd shift workers. The variables can be studied further with the addition of moderators and it can be really helpful in the organizations working in private or the public sector for the betterment of ethical and moral orientation of the employees.

Difference between leadership and management

Leadership is a trait of motivating and inspiring people in order to achieve objectives willingly and actively. Whereas Management means managing things in the best possible way. It is the art of getting things done through and/or with the group of people. Leadership and management skills are required to be a good leader. Best leaders are the good managers and the strongest managers are great leaders. Managing is a subcategory of leading which means that the management is an element leadership.

The basic difference between leadership and management is that a leader doesn’t hold any management position. Managers have the authority over employees and projects, they are the members of an organization who are responsible for carrying out a number of important functions i.e. planning, controlling, organizing and leading. Whereas leaders motivate the people working under managers on particular projects. Some leaders have the leadership traits in them for example communication with the employees regarding professional issues, motivation, providing guidance and inspiring employees for professional growth and a higher level of productivity.

Developing leadership skills

A good leader is someone who provides effective communicates with employees and addresses their professional issues. A leader is always open to criticism and welcomes a good idea that might help in the betterment of organization. Leadership quality of a person in an organization on any level, either managerial or below, decides the company’s future. It can make it or break it. A good leader is someone who learns new skills every single day, share with employees and is open to improvements.

There are a number of steps that I would take to develop the leadership skills of 10 new employees in the company.

I would be an inspiration for them. A good leader not only motivates his/her team through fancy words but also through actions. It has been proved hundreds of times that people learn more from actions around them than the words they hear. The best way of training my team to perform better would be to train myself on daily basis to be better. An organization doesn’t grow unless and until each employee work to their full potential and become a leader. Another way to develop leadership skills is to Communicate. Communication is the key to be a successful and an effective leader in any organization. A good communicator is not just a good speaker but a good listener as well. Half of the problems at any organization could be solved through communication.

There are going to be unforeseen challenges in any field of work, a good leader must always be ready to deal with them. A leader must have a plan B in mind. The ability to see a bigger picture and providing suggestions to avoid problems makes a good leader. Identifying each employees’ strength, motivating and persuading them to move out of their comfort zone and perform to their best potential is a great way to develop leadership skills. CITATION Syt17 \l 1033 (Kumar, 2017)

A leader must keep learning. Some people are born with leadership skills but it is important to polish those skills with experience and constant learning. Best way to develop leadership skills is to take more responsibilities because with more responsibility comes great experience.

Importance of leadership in an organization

Leadership plays a crucial role in making any organization successful. It is the process of motivating and influencing people to work to their full potential towards the common goal i.e. company’s growth. No company can be successful if there is no leadership. Good leadership provides an effective and open communication with in the company which helps it in development. This helps provide friendly and an understanding environment in the organization. The basic goal of any leadership in an organization is to meet three challenges.

To provide a vision as of where the company is heading and what is its ultimate goal.

To set goals, that is, to convert the vision into a performance outcome.

To provide directions in order to develop a strategy to achieve the goals that had been set.

There are a number of exercises and activities that can help new leaders develop leadership competencies.

1-Exercising ‘Explore Your Values’

Explore your Values is an exercise that could be done in pairs as well as in groups. The main purpose behind this exercise is to make people think about the most important values of themselves and their team members. No one gets more than 2 seconds to think. It is done in a rapid way so that the participants could be encouraged to follow their instinct rather than over-analyzing and looking for the correct values. This exercise has been proved very effective in big and small organizations. People get to bond with each other over such exercises and get to learn about each other’s’ personal values and views.

2- Role Model

In this exercise, all the participants are asked to think of a role model they admire. Then ask themselves about the leadership qualities these role model have that they would like to adapt. What leadership advice would they take from this role model? CITATION GCW91 \l 1033 (Wagner, 1991)

Then there would be a communication session where all participant would be asked to share their thoughts. Everyone would talk about the leadership qualities that their role model has. Also, contradicting points would be discussed. This exercise welcomes the most diverse response on leadership. These learning methods prove effective in less time and has multiple benefits.

I hope that the new leaders will learn to work in a team as well as individually for the company to best of their potential.

There are six problems identified as some of the major concerns for Sun Coast. The first major concern is job site particle pollution affecting the health of employees. Though respirators are needed in certain environment, the particulate matter (PM) differs in size and mostly depends on the job site and project which are being undertaken. There are also other issues such as safety training effectiveness, sound level exposure, new employee training and lead exposure which senior management must address. According to Denyer & Jaina (2013), employees who work at the job site to remediate must be efficiently monitored to ensure the company can be able to achieve its core objectives.

Research objectives

The general purpose of the study was to investigate how foreign born construction workers especially Hispanic who can from New York performs on the posttest they took. It is meant to ascertain whether the result depend whether the course was offered in English or Spanish. In order to complete this study effective four objectives were identified and therefore, the objectives of the research are as follow:

Is to determine whether there is a relationship between workers’ health and PM (particular matters) size.

To address problems related to health and safety issues which affect Sun Coast’s workers.

To determine whether there is a relationship between safety and health of workers and the performance of employees?

To determine some of the benefits Sun Coast offer its workers?

To determine the level of exposure to polluted gases among employees.

Research Questions and hypothesis

Several research questions were derived to address the objectives of the research. In this study, the core objective was to determine the problems related to health and safety issues which affect the Sun Coast workers. Therefore, the research questions were as listed below:

RQ1: Is there health and safety issues related to remediation which affect Sun Coast workers?

H01: There are several healths and safety related issues which affect workers of Sun Coast and some of them are difficulty in breathing due to Particular Matters (PM).

H02: It is also established that blood system of workers are majorly affected due to PM.

R02: Are there some of the benefits which Sun Coast offers its workers?

H01: Yes. Sun Coast offers air monitoring, water reclamation, soil remediation and health and safety training.

H2: Sun Coast also works around the clock to offer a better working environment for all workers through elimination of substances which can hinder growth of workers.

R03: Is there relationship between health and safety of workers and the performance of Sun Coast?

H03: Statistically, there is relationship between safety and health of workers and performance of a company. It is established that poor safety and health status negatively affect employees and therefore, it is more likely to result to underperforming of workers and therefore, affect the performance of Sun Coast in the market.

R04: is there is any relationship between safety training expenditure and lost time hours?

H04: There is no established or statistically relationship between expenditure and lost time hours.

H04: There are significant correlations between the lost time hours and safety training expenditure.

The central aim of conducting independent samples t test is to successfully compares the means of two independent groups to statistically determine whether population means of two groups are significantly different or not ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"I3Hkf6OO","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Bakker & Wicherts, 2014)","plainCitation":"(Bakker & Wicherts, 2014)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":366,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/qLzeF6Hj/items/3B3JV44A"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/qLzeF6Hj/items/3B3JV44A"],"itemData":{"id":366,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"Psychological methods","issue":"3","page":"409","title":"Outlier removal, sum scores, and the inflation of the type I error rate in independent samples t tests: The power of alternatives and recommendations.","volume":"19","author":[{"family":"Bakker","given":"Marjan"},{"family":"Wicherts","given":"Jelte M."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Bakker & Wicherts, 2014). The means values for both the groups are different as this value (69.790) for group A is less than the mean value of group B (84.7741). The results for this test provides information to establish existing difference between two independent groups of prior training scores and revised training scores for the 62 observations. The alpha value for this test is set as 0.05 that is established as benchmark to determine the significance of p value ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"7vkKGlxv","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Rochon, Gondan, & Kieser, 2012)","plainCitation":"(Rochon, Gondan, & Kieser, 2012)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":367,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/qLzeF6Hj/items/IERQPDXV"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/qLzeF6Hj/items/IERQPDXV"],"itemData":{"id":367,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"BMC medical research methodology","issue":"1","page":"81","title":"To test or not to test: Preliminary assessment of normality when comparing two independent samples","volume":"12","author":[{"family":"Rochon","given":"Justine"},{"family":"Gondan","given":"Matthias"},{"family":"Kieser","given":"Meinhard"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2012"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Rochon, Gondan, & Kieser, 2012). The outcomes of the study show that the mean value for Group A is lower as compare to Group B. Moreover, the results for p value of two tail also helps to identify the overall significance of the hypothesis development. The outcome for the indicator of p value shows that p value (1.939) is greater than alpha value (.05). This result clearly shows that the null hypothesis is accepted that means that there is no statistically significance difference in mean values of the DV between Group A and Group B.

The results for this study are helpful to better determine about the mean difference of paired samples for the selected groups. The results based on the consideration of 49 observations for the paired samples of Pre-Exposure and Post-Exposure. The results for this analysis is interesting because p value for the two tail domain is equal to the level of significance (0.05). This result helps researcher to accept the null hypothesis of this study that means that the true mean value between paired samples is equals to the value of zero.

Analyze the case of SeaWorld of Florida v. Perez, 2014 U.S.

The legal issues in the case of SeaWorld of Florida v. Perez, 2014 is to determine whether SeaWorld violated the general Duty Clause under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act. It also determines whether the company was involved in abatement process to minimize the danger without involving the fundamental essence of the SeaWorld business. However, the appeals soundly made a determination that SeaWorld did infringe on the clause of the General Duty and therefore, there were evidence to prove that the company was involved in the abatement processes to reduce the hazards and therefore, changing the fundamental essence of the process of business CITATION Mil16 \l 1033 (Racic, 2016).

Explain how the elements of a valid claim were satisfied under the OSH Act.

Establishing a violation under the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act was essential for the determination of the case. Therefore, the plaintiff establishes the action which occurred in the employer’s place of operation to produce a risk to a work. It is also stated that SeaWorld agreed that both water and dry work were of danger to employees because of orca whales. The employer also agreed that the condition is perilous CITATION Cas14 \l 1033 (Caselaw, 2014). It was established that the industry is of danger and there have been other related incidences around the world from the same industry. The risk expected produces a serious injury to the worker. The SeaWorld agreed or acknowledged that while some danger is very inherent in occupational responsibilities, the danger cannot result to an established risk, which was very ineffective.

How does OSHA enforce workplace safety and health standards?

The OSHA enforces the safety and health standard at workplace by ensuring that all the necessary requirement are in place to limit the risk. First, it makes sure that employer put in place necessary mechanism to avoid hazard at workplace. It also ensure that there are feasible and the best way to correct any hazard. It conduct supervision on the safety standard at workplace to make sure that the condition at workplace meets the criteria set to avoid any unnecessary hazard which can cause danger to workers. OSHA also keeps updating the policies and laws needed to be followed by companies in their operation and what should be observe when setting up a workplace environment CITATION JWa16 \l 1033 (Walsh, 2016).

Do you agree with the court’s decision? Should or could SeaWorld have done more to abate the hazard? Support your position.

Yes. I absolutely agreed with the court decision. The trainer would have been protected against the killer whale. The SeaWorld violated the OSHA Act by failing to protect the trainer from the whale. Under the General Duty clause and safety standard, there ought to be a barrier between the killer whale and the public to ensure that nobody could come close the killer whale and therefore, failure to place the barrier exposed the trainer to the killer whale and therefore, the company is liable for the death of the trainer. It is also evidence that SeaWorld did not put a clear notice at the workplace when approaching the place where the killer whale was placed to inform the public of the danger of the killer whale. The SeaWorld would have done more to abate the hazard. First, the company would have ensured that the killer whale is place far away from the public. The company should have place notices informing all trainers not to move close to the killer whale. The public awareness of the hazard or danger ought to have been done to limit the chances of hazard.

Section III

Plato’s Ion is a dialogue about poetry and the professional figure of the poet. Plato has aimed at uncovering philosophy hidden in poetry and its meaning. Ion of Ephesus is not a poet but he had the quality of communicating in most effective ways to the people. Rhapsode reflects Homeric wisdom and as he possessed the skills of transmitting idea to the people and society. Ion allow Plato to build connection between poetry and philosophy.

Plato’s critique on Socratic teachings emphasize on civic and religious dangers. He claimed that the themes in Apology are based on the ideas of resentment and anxiety that will create more risks for the society. He leads human beings to a state where it is difficult to make a choice between moral correctness and personal interest. Moral pieties leave audience to a confused state that why he was sentenced to death. Similarly Socratic observations of corrosive power leads to the state of testing the moral standards. The reader find chaos in his Republic because he mentions that young people must not encounter situations of ethical doubt. It is difficult to find how teachings of Socrates will work in the ideal society. Some degree of impiety and corruptness are adequate for misleading the youth.

Plato examined the diaspora between philosophy and poetry. It is not difficult to relate poetry with philosophy. He explains that art is imitation of life and there is a meaning behind poetry. This makes him believe that philosophy is apparent in poetry because each line is transmitting a message. Meanings are hidden in poetry that are developed on the idea of life and problematic issues of the society. The emphasis of poetry on human beings also exhibits its connection with philosophy. He further argues that without philosophy, poetry is worthless.

Selection and Staffing

The Use of Long and Complex Hiring Process

Careful employee selection is an important and significant task for every employer. In some organizations, the hiring process is a long and complex one. There are various reasons that the employers give for having such a lengthy process. A complex process depicts that the employer wants to select an individual who meets all the requirements of that specific post he has applied for. It symbolizes that the employer wants to take time to select a new employee. He wants to make sure he is selecting the most appropriate candidate for his organization. In a long and complex hiring process, the candidate has to go through several steps that obviously take time. Some organizations conduct a telephonic interview, a written test, a verbal interview, and then select the candidate for the required post. It helps the employer to identify the best candidate and choose him for the workplace.

Effects on the Organization’s Ability

A complex and long hiring process affects the organization’s ability to attract the best candidates because there is a lack of communication that makes the candidates feel that they have been misled or dropped out. Job seekers apply in more than one organizations; they have other options as well. However, in all this long process of hiring they feel like hanging in between with no feedback at all. An expanded hiring process also affects the economic condition of the organization. The vacant seats are unfilled for a long time causing economic damage to the employer. The first impression of employers and their organizations are very important for the candidates. They assume the experience they may have working with those employers through the first meet up. The stretched process of hiring would make them believe that the employers are slow decision makers, thus, the business decision making would also be slow. There is no doubt that selection of inappropriate candidates would cause damage to the future of the organization. The employers should also try to take necessary steps that would lead to a quick and appropriate hiring so that the top-talented candidates would be selected.

Despite the advantages, the usage of social media minimizes the productivity of employees in the workplace. It is imperative to deal with social media issues through a profound policy and strict implementation. The sensitive information can be stolen or outsourced by employees on social networking sites. There exist a numerous amount of potential threats and the key is to explore a viable solution. First, bullying and harassment is a common issue that may arise because of the employees' access to social media in the workplace. Irrefutably, the employer can never the staff from making accounts on social sites. The onus relies on the stakeholders to explicitly convey that bullying will never be tolerated and may result in termination. Devise a code of conduct to highlight the duty of care obliged on each employee.

Lack of Productivity

Employees inclined toward persistently checking tweets, refreshing Facebook and spending time on watching Instagram stories can never deliver their best. A study conducted by Harvard Business Review reveals that employees using social media are likely to locate connections for a new job ("How Americans Use Social Media at Work | Pew Research Center," 2016). To limit the usage, access to social networking sites ought to be blocked on systems. Certain workers require the need to use social networking sites to conduct their operations. For them, parameters should be established as answering customers queries, cataloging consumer chatter or scheduling corporate content.

Damage to Employer's Repute

In the contemporary era of digital dominance, employees reveal their stress and agitation on social networking platforms. When a worker is scolded by the boss, he may advance to post about it on the social site and abash the boss. A stringent policy is imperative to be formulated. The restriction will permit the employer to take action against a breach. Besides, it should be noted that disparaging comments aimed at maligning the organization should be treated the same way.

Social Media Pertinent to Work

Social networking sites have become the hub of job recruitment. For instance, competitors can target employees through a potential campaign on social media. Since employees cannot be prevented physically from being recruited by the competitor, a post-termination restriction on work is necessary ("Social media in the workplace," 2013). In the case a breach is made, restrictions can permit the employer to sue workers for financial damages caused by their actions. These steps can curb the motives of competitors and further preventive employees from seeking job opportunities on social networking sites at the workplace.

Keeping Password Secure

When employees are required to post on the social media sites of the company during their job, a strict check needs to be ensured on the confidentiality including password and username. For instance, employees cannot reveal the access details to anyone. Personal views and beliefs should also be discouraged to maintain a professional decorum on the company's social media network (Herlle & Astray-Canada, n.d.). None can shun the provision of slight entertainment on the company's social networking site but it should be limited to a defined extent.

Conclusion

Limiting employees time on social networking sites is paramount to maximize their potential and output for the company. A wide range of business communication instruments is used by companies to separate home and workplace. Negligence toward the issue may cause detrimental consequences for the employees' reputation, retention of workers and safety of confidential data. The onus lies on the stakeholders to formulate profound policies and ensuring a strict implementation on them. Moreover, workers may misuse the time allocated for posting on social working sites as a part of their job. Scrutinizing their work and limiting access to certain sites can prove productive.

Introduction

This paper will put a spotlight on a famous transport company in the U.S named as J. B. Hunt. There will be a thorough discussion on the company's history, its leadership, strategic policies and the analysis of its financial statements. The respective evaluation of the firm's annual reports will include profitability and liquidity ratios. Along with ratio analysis, there will also be a discussion on the effect of IFE (International Fisher Effect) on the transport company.

Discussion

Company Profile and Business Operations

The year 1960 saw the emergence of Mr. Johnnie Bryan Hunt’s idea of launching a transport company in the U.S state of Arkansas. Mr. Hunt gave his business an identity after his name (Pazour & Neubert, 2013). The business began its operation as a transportation and trucking company with few heavy vehicles in its asset collection to start the firm’s proceedings. However, today J. B. Hunt is now among the major competitors in the transport industry while its revenues are on a high side as well with more than $5 billion revenue generated annually (Simpson, 2018).

The critical strategic events include the building of an integrated and reliable transportation network across the U.S that has achieved brand recognition among their clients. Thus, it has built up brand loyalty among its clients. Moreover, the transportation company is renowned for making timely and important mergers, especially with the technological companies, to develop a reliable Management Information System (MIS) to strengthen its supply chain and inventory management (Chen et al., 2010).

Significant competitors of J. B. Hunt in the U.S transportation industry includes Werner Enterprises, Swift Transportation and Schneider International (Pazour & Neubert, 2013). Therefore, in such a competitive market, J. B. Hunt is required to remain proactive through innovative strategies which at least maintains their market share if it does not increase against such significant competitors.

J. B. Hunt currently can utilize on several opportunities that can provide the firm with a competitive advantage and will put the competition out of their equation of success. Firstly, J. B. Hunt should capitalize on lower inflation rate as it will see a drop-down in the interest rates on credit borrowing, which will provide the company with advantage through International Fisher Effect (IFE). Moreover, due to government agreements; the transport company will be able to penetrate in other emerging markets to explore more options in pursuit making J. B. Hunt a state-of-the-art transportation company (Chen et al., 2010). A decision to capitalize on these opportunities will give the respective firm a strategic advantage that can earn them more clients and an increased market share as a result.

Financial Ratio Analysis

This section will cover the analysis of financial statements of J. B. Hunt for the year 2017. It will include the evaluation of a company's current ratio (liquidity) and its total debt to equity ratio (leverage). The calculation and analysis of the ratios mentioned above are as follows:

220980024066600Current Ratio (2017)=Current Assets

Current Liabilities

220027525463500=$ 1,338,728

1724025351155=1.45:1

=1.45:1

$ 921,844

The current ratio describes the company’s ability to deal with its short and long-term debts effectively. The higher the current ratio, the better it suggests that the company has enough liquid assets to cover its liabilities (Weygandt, 2015).

The above chart shows the current ratios of J. B. Hunt from the year 2013 to 2017. It depicts that in 2013, the company's short-term debts were more than its liquid assets. However, as the years progressed, the company increased its liquid assets to an extent where it had one and a half times more liquid asset resources than its liabilities. In 2017, the current assets decreased to a certain extent. It may be because of increased spending or less closing inventory available at the end of the year.

251460025463500Total Debt to Equity (2017)=Total Debt

Total Equity

251460022860000 =$ 1,086 M*

$ 1,839 M

=0.59:1

Total Debt to Equity is the ratio that analyzes how much debt the company has taken against total equity of the firm. Ideally, the ratio should be as low as possible. A high value of this ratio is nothing more than a risk (Weygandt, 2015).

The above chart suggests that J. B. Hunt relied less on debt in 2013. However, in the later years, the debt to equity ratio increased. This might be due to outstanding payments that the firm will be liable to pay to its suppliers. The situation may have got steady again after an apparent debt clearance when in 2017, the debt to equity decreased to a certain extent.

Conclusion

This paper explored the business operations of J.B. Hunt Transport Company and analyzed its financial statements using two key ratios. The financial analysis suggests that the company has a stable financial position due to which it is one of the leading transport firms in the industry. Therefore, it should continue this performance in future as well which will assure their place as market leaders of the industry in the long-run.

The strategic plan of a company is a document, which helps it in establishing the direction. It involves mission, goals, and core values, internal and external analysis, industry trends, and long-term objectives on the company based on that analysis.

Nestle has a mission to make people's lives better by providing them with good food. Nestle has the vision to bring safe consumer goods of high quality and to provide the optimal nutrition that could meet the physiological needs. Besides nutrition, health, and wellness, Nestle has the vision to bring the vital ingredients of taste and pleasure in their products. Nestle believes that creating value will make the company successful in the long run. They do their business on the principle of Creating Shared Value, which aims at creating value for both shareholders and society ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"iR4rq7ZX","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Creating Shared Value | Nestl\\uc0\\u233{} Global,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“Creating Shared Value | Nestlé Global,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":117,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/svENvmyw/items/RTY2DXJ4"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/svENvmyw/items/RTY2DXJ4"],"itemData":{"id":117,"type":"webpage","title":"Creating Shared Value | Nestlé Global","URL":"https://www.nestle.com/csv/what-is-csv","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",2,25]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“Creating Shared Value | Nestlé Global,” n.d.). Their company values are rooted in respect for themselves, for diversity and for the future.

The internal environmental analysis shows Nestle strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It enjoys excellent brand equity and value and has a global presence with an extensive distribution system. Social activities and CSR has enhanced the excellent reputation of the company. However, much of its sales depend on a few brands, and it is criticized for excessive water use, child labor, and contaminated food. Nestle has the opportunity to make acquisitions, and it can increase market share. Growing ready to drink coffee and tea market is also a good opportunity. Nestle faces fierce competition from Unilever and Danone foods, and substitutes brands are also increasing. Economic recession and controversies can reduce global sales.

External analysis of the company reveals the political, economic, environmental, and legal factors that can affect its operations and it is referred to as PESTEL analysis CITATION Pol16 \l 1033 (Policy, 2016). As Nestle is, a global corporation political instability and dynamic rules and regulations in some of the countries can influence operations. The company is liable to political jurisdictions as well as international quality standards such as ISO 9000.

Economic downturns and setbacks are unavoidable events. Inflation and economic stability of the countries in which Nestle is operating can also affect its operations and demand of its products. Nestle can achieve and maintain the competitive advantage of employing its resource capital. Consumer attitudes are also changing towards healthy and organic products free or preservatives. Consumers are becoming knowledgeable, and they are very much concerned about the ingredients of products they are consuming especially eatables. In addition, ready to drink tea and coffee market is also flourishing. Social media is a key tool for customer interaction and advertisement.

Technological improvements are a crucial factor to survive in changing business environment. E-commerce is the most crucial business development platform. Nestle must enhance its research and development considering the technological advancements and to enhance the process efficiency and capabilities. In addition, rules and regulations are changing globally. Every country has its own food standard evaluation agencies, and hence Nestle has to adhere to global food regulations across international markets. The company needs to have astute legal capabilities to operate globally exclusively in new markets it seeks to enter.

Increased environmental concerns and attention towards environmental stability demands the company to align its objectives with the environment and people safety. Nestle has to give more attention to corporate social responsibility. It has to effectively implement the principle of creating shared value for its people, shareholders and society and environment.

Nestle is already facing trouble due to the lawsuit in the US for using child and slave labor for its chocolate brand CITATION Wij18 \l 1033 (Wijesinghe, 2018). Nestle has to make sure that the labor employed for the production of products do not encounter any discrimination. Labor unions and equal employment laws are becoming stronger in most of countries. Consumers of products are also concerned about the labor employed to create the product. Hence, the company has to make sure compliance with all the laws and regulations, related to labor and employment trends.

Trends towards natural and organic foods are increasing, and new generation only consumes food, which provides clean recipes. Parents are also concerned about what they feed their children. Nestle must plan to make its products more natural and organic as it is the opportunity for the company as well. "Free-from" is a new trend; gluten-free products is also a new growing market, which Nestle has to consider. Sugar-free, also falls in the same category as modern consumers are also becoming diet conscious; hence, the company must lessen its artificial sweeteners in the products. High protein diet is also the concern of the body builders and health-conscious consumers, and plant-based diet also has the focus of most of the modern consumers. All these new emerging trends must be the key focus of the company to sustain a competitive edge.

Nestle claims that its strategic objectives are based on nutrition, health, and wellness or its consumers. The principal objective of Nestle is to provide quality foods and beverages. Its portfolio is already positioned for growth. Nestle aims to invest in high growth categories, and for 2020, its target is mid-single digit organic growth. They are looking forward to achieving this by focusing on base business and high growth categories. The company is also committed to margin efficiency and the operating profit margin of 18.5% by 2020 ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"JhBv4Arn","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Strategy - Nestl\\uc0\\u233{} Roadmap to Good Food, Good Life | Nestl\\uc0\\u233{} Global,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“Strategy - Nestlé Roadmap to Good Food, Good Life | Nestlé Global,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":119,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/svENvmyw/items/EB7J224G"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/svENvmyw/items/EB7J224G"],"itemData":{"id":119,"type":"webpage","title":"Strategy - Nestlé Roadmap to Good Food, Good Life | Nestlé Global","URL":"https://www.nestle.com/aboutus/strategy","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",2,25]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“Strategy - Nestlé Roadmap to Good Food, Good Life | Nestlé Global,” n.d.).

Strategic Plan

Mission

Air Canada is the largest and flag carrier organization of Canada by passengers carried and fleet size. The mission statement of the company has continued to strengthen after enhancing the competitive position. For instance, the reduction in the overall risk profile by adopting an aggressive approach to gain significant surplus position is the manifestation of the steps taken to align the strategies with the mission plan.

Vision

The essential mission of the corporation is promoting and protecting the brand by strategic communication to ensure the culture of accountability, reliability, luxury and safety to the stakeholders in a profound manner ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"jqC9Hmtt","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Air Canada - About Air Canada,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“Air Canada - About Air Canada,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2051,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/H8YOvGFC/items/DCE2Z2BL"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/H8YOvGFC/items/DCE2Z2BL"],"itemData":{"id":2051,"type":"webpage","title":"Air Canada - About Air Canada","URL":"https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/about.html","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",2,9]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“Air Canada - About Air Canada,” n.d.).

Values

The core values of the company are harnessing the efficient management strategies and practices. The national identity of Canada is explicitly reflected in the operational and business ventures of the airline. Primarily, the attachment with the nation is utilized to expand the corporate brand.

External Analysis

First, Air Canada’s head office is in Canada and thus requires paying a significant amount of taxes. It has adverse implications on the overall growth of the airline. Second, Air Canada requires complying with several safety standards to compete with the rest of the carriers. They act as the cornerstones to differentiate the corporation form the competitors and to be ranked in top 2% in North America. Moreover the potential online presence of the corporation further contributes towards gaining a competitive advantage.

In addition, several airline carriers are striving to enter the market as the substitutes. The smaller airline carriers have advanced to align themselves with the popular trends as cheapest airline flights. It has cast adverse impact on the industry by making the passengers cost-sensitive.

WestJet neither excels nor lacks the customer satisfaction or cost efficiency. It primarily considers the price factor to compete with Air Canada which is a flawed and unsustainable strategy in the long run.

Internal Analysis

The employee engagement of the corporation has played an instrumental role to strengthen the internal culture of the corporation. The culture of the corporation is measured in regards to the stable union agreements, employee surveys and employee stock options. Moreover, the management has successfully ensured the provision of a sustainable customer relationship management system.

The sense which is customer-focused altitude propagated by the employees within the organization is imperative to make the operational management seamless. The fundamental training of the employees on a persistent basis to improve the internal management practices is a key factor. Air Canada is essentially a unionized corporation which has an average of ten years commitment from the unions. Therefore, the turnover time of the employees is low and their tenure is expanded for longer period of time. It allows the human resource management practices to easily streamline the operational flow throughout the organization.

Formulating Strategy

The formulation of strategic alliance with other airlines has potentially benefited the corporation. The advanced technology results in the increased travel period and convenience for the passengers serve as the powerful selling point for carrier. The tendency to meet the IOSTA and IATA safety standards for more than 8 years is exploited by the corporation as an effective advertising tool.

The fluctuation in the oil prices often increases the operational cost for the corporation.

Because of the unionized human resource, the corporation requires paying more wages than counterparts.

Strategy Implementation and Evaluation

The operational cash flow is the key to seek capital and extract shares form the potential investors. The strategic management must focus on ensuring that customers must listen to and problems are solved. The establishment of the complaint department to cater to the complaints will be a positive venture. The customers will have to visit a single department instead of moving through diverse dimensions.

Question 1

Netflix changed the entertainment rental system, and this can be described using the five-force model.

Rivalry among the competitions: Netflix competed with Blockbuster for the customers by capitalizing on the existing distribution system by ensuring that the customers were not leaving their home to get the rental movies. Netflix created a website with videos available for rent. Later on, it introduces the monthly subscription idea, and it dropped the single-rental model (Elaluf-Calderwood, 2014). From that time it has been able to establish a reputation on the business model of the flat –fee unlimited rentals without the handling fees, shipping fees, late fees or due dates. Additionally, online streaming does not have per-title fees for restraint.

2. The threat of substitute service or products. Netflix took customers away from Blockbuster by creating a new distribution system that was different and preferable from the one that Blockbuster was using (Elaluf-Calderwood, 2014). Blockbuster became less preferred because, with Netflix, the customers were able to stream movies directly from Netflix website while paying monthly subscriptions. The late fee, shipping fees, handling fees were eliminated.

3. Potential new entrants. Netflix ensured that it provided quality and affordable services to its customers and be able to have a more significant customer base to make it difficult for the new entrants to enter the market. In 2014, Netflix sales grew by 21% hence generating an income of about $112 million. The number of subscribers rose by nearly 40% the same year attaining 46 million with the stock market value tripling from the year 2012 to the year 2014 (Elaluf-Calderwood, 2014). The success was made possible because of the business model that Netflix adopted plus numerous human resource management strategies that includes the selection of employees who understand well how the business model of the company operates.

4. Power of suppliers. Netflix depends on its suppliers to get the movies for renting. The business has a variety of suppliers thus it has greater bargaining power.

5. Power of buyers. The buyer does not have more significant bargaining power because Netflix is among the main leading companies for movie rentals. Netflix already has a more substantial customer base with fewer competitors. It also strives to satisfy the customers by having provided their products at low cost while they are seated at the comforts of their homes.

Question 2

The competitive strategy of Netflix is its business model. Netflix provided a website with movies available for rent and introduced the monthly subscription ides after it dropped the single-rental model (Gupta et al., 2009). This strategy made the company successfully because from that time it has been able to establish a reputation on the business model of the flat –fee unlimited rentals without the handling fees, shipping fees, late fees or due dates. Additionally, online streaming does not have per-title fees for rent.

Question 3

Netflix has been able to sustain its competitive advantage by taking an important step. Mccord and Hastings noted that Netflix has a human resource strategy that has created an environment of entirely motivated workers who understand the companies’ culture and they perform exceptionally well (Bellante, et al., 2013). The human resource strategies compromise of hiring employees who priorities, understand and care about the interests of the company.

Question 4

The main points for successful company’s strategies include knowing where we want to be how to get there and where we are now. The HR policies that support the approach include talent management, recruiting of workers and performance evaluation (Gupta et al., 2009). Netflix uses informal 360-degree review for performance evaluation where the employees to provide honest opinions about colleagues and themselves concentrating on the particular policies that should change, continue, start or stop. In talent management, to prevent the employee turnover the company hires people with the right skills and are placed in the departments that match their talents and abilities.

Question 5

Netflix used an informal 360-degree review for performance evaluation when they realized that the formal review sessions did not prove to be effective. The informal meetings permitted the employees to provide honest opinions about colleagues and themselves concentrating on the particular policies that should change, continue, start or stop (Elaluf-Calderwood, 2014). Rather than using the bureaucratic measures, workers valued the sessions as being part of their work and it was demonstrated with increased performance of the employees. I will prefer to be evaluated using this method because I will feel like part of the company rather than being assessed using the formal review session which I would feel as unimportant and junior member of the company.

Question 6

In Netflix, a link is created between the customers and the performance of the employees to assure that the incentives are distributed equally and evenly. Netflix ensures that they educates the employees on how the company earns its profits and the behaviors that would drive the company’s success (Bellante, et al., 2013). Through receiving the right messages about how the workers should commit and execute their duties, workers are more informed of the criteria that are needed to meet their bonuses, and thus they will be extra apt to get the rewards. By knowing what to do and the way to do it, the motivation of the employee increases. When motivation increases performance and moral also improves.

The Principles of Management and Communications

Introduction

In today’s age of cut-throat competition and ever-changing business dynamics, every business is struggling to rise high above its competitors to capture the maximum market share. In the recent times, it has become extremely important to look for the challenges of the current business environment and cope up with them in an efficient manner so that the business can sustain for a longer period. Moreover, as it has already established, sustainability is not the only option and priority of business organizations nowadays. Companies want to progress, grow, and become noticed in the eyes of the customers or potential customers in the market.

In order to achieve this goal or dream, the business organizations in the world work very hard. They design different strategies, plan various approaches, and adopt multiple styles to achiever their afore-mentioned dream. Undoubtedly proper planning and execution play a very vital role in the success and prosperity of any organization, but there are some other factors as well that pose great importance for the development of a business. These factors include strong leadership, powerful decision, great marketing, efficient customer service, and effective communication. Communication holds great importance in the life of a company no matter what the nature of the business is and in what market it dealing. Whether the business is a small or a large multi-national corporation, the prospect of communication always plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of it.

Effective communication is not only required to pass on the internal information outside the organization like advertisement and marketing but also the communication within the organization. This kind of communication refers to the exchange of different kinds of messages and information across the various departments of the organization (Conrad, 2014). It would not be inappropriate if it is said that this kind of communication or internal communication is more vital for the proper functioning and operations of an organization as compared to external communication. Moreover, external communication is also a result of the proper and successfully executed internal communication. More elaborate the internal communication, more effective will be the flow and content of the external communication.

Discussion

The term communication refers to the exchange or imparting of the information by various methods. These methods comprise of writing, speaking, gestures, and postures or with the help of electric means. As humans, we need effective communication on a daily basis in order to explain our needs and demands to the other person or an audience. Communication is also required to present a point or a concept to the other person, whether they are a single person or a group of people. In short, communication is very important

It goes without any doubt that communication has great importance in a business setting. Any business person, whether working at the top level of management or the lowermost level, can benefit significantly by paying attention to the learning and development of the communication etiquettes in business.

Effective Communication Norms in a Business Setting

Communication norms refer to those patterns or acceptable (even appreciated) set of values that are expected in a communication process. These communication patterns are considered appropriate and respectful and are highly recommended by communication experts to make the whole process more productive and fruitful. Communication norms are not anything that some institute or organization can make you learn, but this is a learned trait and cultural entity. It forms a part of the cultural socialization process. These traits and norms are learned by the family and the society in which a person is born and grows up. These also form an important function of race and ethnicity.

Talking strictly about the communication process in business settings, communication in the business setups is goal-oriented. It is governed and regulated by certain rules and regulations that are prevailing in the organization. Policies established by the higher management and followed by the lower staff also control the communication process in an organizational setting. It is strictly observed in the business communication processes that the communication is kept strictly formal, and the person being addressed in the process is treated according to their designation. One of the common factors which are observed in the communication process, whether it’s in a business setup or any communication process in is respect.

Role of Interpersonal Communication both As a Manager and As an Employee

Interpersonal communication is the process by which people exchange information, feelings, emotions, and messages directly. Inter-personal communication may be verbal or non-verbal. There are four main types of interpersonal communication; verbal, listening, written, and non-verbal communication. Most of the times, this type of communication is usually face-to-face, but in the case of business communication, interpersonal communication is mostly carried on in the written form (Miller, & Barbour, 2014). This may be in the form of letters, memos, reports, financial documents, and most commonly e-mail.

Interpersonal communication is very important in the case of a business set up both in the case of a manager and an employee. A manager requires an effective communication process so that he or she can cultivate better employee relations with their employees. Moreover, effective communication from the side of manager boosts productivity at the workplaces as it motivates the employee and builds up their trust in the management.

Communication from the side of employees is essential both to maintain a stable level of relationship between the higher management and the employee. Moreover, a good level of communication allows the employee to pass on his or her issues or complaints in an effective manner to the manager.

Specific Techniques I Have Used To Overcome Barriers to Communication

Barriers to communication refer to anything or any reason that that prevents the proper exchange of information. These reasons or barriers prevent a person from properly receiving and understanding the message, information, or ideas being conveyed in the communication process. These barriers may be regarding the message, internal barriers that refer to thoughts and feelings, and (or), external barriers.

Although many factors affect the communication process at a workplace or in an organization, there are majorly seven types of communication barriers that severely damage or distort a communication process. These are

physical barriers

perceptual barriers

Cultural Barriers

Emotional Barriers

Gender-based Barriers

Language barriers

Interpersonal Barriers

I have also faced multiple situations in my organization, where I was faced with one or more than one type of communication barriers. I effectively came over these barriers or hindrances by using these simple and extremely handy techniques which helped me out to convey my message more appropriately and clearly.

Keep your message precise and to the point. Do not elongate it unnecessarily and try to avoid wordiness.

Avoid using slang.

Keep a positive mindset while receiving and sending a message.

Role of International, Intercultural and Interpersonal Communications in Today’s Global Businesses

As technology is progressing day by and new methods and techniques of communication are being invented by science every other day, the process of conveying one’s message is becoming more and more convenient. The advent in the areas of science and technology has converted the world into a global village and brought the people of the world closer. Where there were many hurdles and complications in the communications process in the previous times, the message became distorted or useless till the time it reached the receiver. The world of business has also progressed significantly in the manner that companies are now not limited to a single region or country (Sorrells, 2015). The organizations have now spread their operations all over the world, and now, companies can be seen working in different states, providing their services and products to the people of other countries as well. The process of communication, especially intercultural communication, gains great importance in this respect as the individuals belonging to various cultures and backgrounds, come and work together for a single cause. If handled properly, international, intercultural, and interpersonal can bring great results inside the organization.

Verbal and Nonverbal Management Communication

Communication consists of two major types: Verbal and Non-Verbal.

Verbal Management Communication

Verbal communication refers to the communication carried on using words, whether they are written, spoken, or signed. The ability to incorporate a language apart from mere sounds into the messages or the communication process is the ability that separates humans from the other species of the world. Verbal communication holds great importance in management as it aids in communication all the information within the organization. All the important and necessary information within an organization is carried on in a verbal manner as it increases the authenticity and reliability. This kind of information may be downward or upward.

Nonverbal Management Communication

Non-verbal communication consists of exchanging all the messages or information without the use of words. No language is required to convey a message in non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication mostly consists of body language, like gesture, posture, eye contact, facial expressions, etc. (Mehrabian, 2017). Touch is also considered a very strong form of non-verbal communication as it communicates a number of messages and can even tell about the personality characteristics of a person. Non-verbal communication also has significant value as a pat on the back or a nudge may mean a lot than words.

Approaches for Effective Written Management Communication

At this stage, it goes without saying that written communication is the most important type of communication in an organizational setup. In fact, it would be inappropriate if it is said that written communication is the backbone of any communication process in any organization.

In previous times, the written communication was mostly carried on, on paper. There used to be letters, reports, memos, and legal documents (Lewis, 2019). All the communication was handwritten and recorded on paper, but the advancements in technology have revolutionized everything, and now most of the communication is carried on electronically. Organizations and companies now prefer to carry on their communication through electronic sources. The most common way of communication currently seen in organizations, whether big or small is e-mail. An e-mail has proven to be a very handy and beneficial tool for the organizations, working locally and globally, as it saves a lot of time and cost incurred on the paper. But the norms and regulations for written communication have remained the same. A manager can make his or her written message more powerful and influential by considering some simple tools while drafting the message. These are:

Proper choice of words

Clarity in content

Inoffensive Language

Positive or neutral tone of writing

Unbiased Approach

Various Approaches for Engaging an Audience during a Presentation and Encouraging Active Listening

Meetings and presentations are an integral and unavoidable part of today’s business scenario. A manager has to conduct group meeting and presentations on a regular basis to keep track of the current progress or position of the company or discuss the strategies for the upcoming challenges of the market. In this respect, it is extremely important that the audience of such a kind of gathering, whether a meeting, seminar, conference or a presentation remains attentive and gives their 100% attention to the message being delivered. Attention spans have become interestingly short, and the mind of the audience attending any conference or meeting wander away here and there quickly (Baym, 2015). There may be distractions inside or outside the venue, or the audience may be pre-occupied with their own challenges of life or work. Hence, in order to grab the attention of the audience attending the conference is a very tough task. In such a situation, the speaker or presenter should take the following steps in order to keep the attention towards himself or herself:

Sticking strictly to the message.

Keeping the pace of the presentation or meeting slow and steady

Keeping the session interactive

Cracking jokes occasionally so that the audience does not get bored

Bringing changes in the tone according to the situation in the presentation.

Effective Methods of Conflict Resolution

Conflict refers to the disagreement between two people or parties on a similar point or concept. Conflict arises when two or more parties have a different opinion for the same idea. This disagreement may be personal, financial, economic, political, or emotional.

Conflict is an unavoidable factor in any setup where two or more individuals come together. This union may be for the achievement of a common goal or to fulfill a societal need. Conflict especially occurs in a business or organizational setups where more than one individuals are working together to achieve a common goal. In order to avoid such a situation or find a solution to this disagreement, there is a process adopted by managers in almost all the organizations (Ramsbotham, Miall, & Woodhouse, 2011). This process is known as conflict resolution. Conflict resolution refers to finding a peaceful solution for the disagreement so that it works for both the parties. A manager, supervisor or any person at an authoritative position should adopt the following strategies to provide a successful and effective resolution to the conflicts in the case of a conflict

Use the techniques of active listening skills to understand the issue appropriately.

Determine the most suitable method or medium to deal with the issue.

Keep the door of communication open for all the parties.

Try to address the issues privately.

Techniques for Leading Teams and Group Meetings

Meeting is a gathering of individuals for the purpose of discussing and formulating the solution to any problem. Meetings are also conducted to discuss various options and make decisions regarding the strategies and methods of carrying on various procedures in organizations. Effective meetings are highly charged and full of energy events where the participants are bombarding the speakers with ideas that how to solve and issue or what procedure to adopt while addressing the any latest challenge (Malhotra, Majchrzak, & Rosen, 2007). The best techniques that a leader or manager can adopt to lead their teams or group meetings are as follows:

Be a role model for your followers

Always go in a meeting or presentation with an agenda

Always have a positive approach towards life and work.

Be an encourager.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, it can be seen that communication is an important aspect of everyone’s life, whether they say it or not. Without communication, the world would not have been completed. Communication garners much more importance in the case of an organizational setup, where the process of communication is being carried out at a large level. There are certain norms of business communication that need to be followed, in order to make the process a successful one, but the most crucial ones are respect and integrity. In addition to this, there are certain barriers in the way of a communication process that can be effectively removed by adopting multiple smart approaches. Communication is important every level, whether is the manager or the lowest grade employee. There are two kinds of communication, verbal and non-verbal. Another critical skill that should be possessed by a manger is the art of conflict management.

The Rise & Fall of U.S. Labor Unions

Introduction

The labor movements grew out of the need to preserve the common interest and needs of the workers in the United States of America (USA). For those employed in the industrial market, systematic labor unions strived for enhanced wages, safe working conditions and plausible hours. The labor movement in the United States was the fundamental institution fighting for the average labors. Private sector workforce lost its share from thirty-five percent to six and a half percent in contemporary time. The loss does not only affect the labor but it also created problems in political and economic stability. It created hurdles for the immigrant populations to integrate economically. Besides the negative impact on the political and economic condition, unions also retain some powerful point for the country. For instance, the success of the organizations fighting for the labor force exposes the significance of the strengthened labor movement for the US civic and economic progress. It is worthwhile to comprehend the essential functionality of the unions. These unions restrict the number of employees in an industry or company to accelerate the remaining wages of the workers. Over the course of time, the unions desecrate jobs in several sectors and have a profound impact on the state of affairs.

Background

During the middle of 1950, unions were made in the United States by selecting one of the labors out of every three non-farm labors. This was the phase when the labor power was on peak because the place of unionized labors shrank in successive decades. The decline in labor power accelerated between the 1980s and 1990s ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"a1o26207cjo","properties":{"formattedCitation":"{\\rtf (\\uc0\\u8220{}The Rise and Fall of America\\uc0\\u8217{}s Labor Unions,\\uc0\\u8221{} 2014)}","plainCitation":"(“The Rise and Fall of America’s Labor Unions,” 2014)"},"citationItems":[{"id":1356,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/ccgWoSRn/items/QDK4XLAE"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/ccgWoSRn/items/QDK4XLAE"],"itemData":{"id":1356,"type":"webpage","title":"The Rise and Fall of America's Labor Unions","container-title":"KQED","URL":"https://www.kqed.org/lowdown/13543/the-rise-and-fall-of-americas-labor-unions","language":"en-us","issued":{"date-parts":[["2014",7,2]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“The Rise and Fall of America’s Labor Unions,” 2014). It was stimulated by the combined effect of political and economic development. It was the time when the country opened up in the international market and competition got higher. Outsourcing appeared as a famous training among the labors who were seeking to compete in the new environment. Overseas competition did not become a threat to the deregulation of the companies. For instance, trucking put organized labor into a disadvantage because new nonunion companies got a place in the market with the help of low labor costs.

Similarly, employers of the United States engaged in legal, semi-legal and illegal practices. These practices helped them to prove their effectiveness at eradication development of present unions and stopping nonunion labors from organizing. The common practice that the employers deployed to stop the strikes include threatening the labor and warning them about firing or replacing them with new labors who were involved in any movement or strike. Employers conducted a meeting with labor and exploited all legal and illegal method to stop them.

Discussion

The employer acquired more power with the help of politicians. President Regan's public firing of striking resulted in the weakening of the labor movement. It increased the worries of labor involved in strikes as they were already threatened by the employer of the companies. With the help of rebalancing the playing field, politicians who were anti-union choked the all possible efforts which were helping the labor movement. Even in the contemporary time, both types of politicians are present in the Senate which results in the employee free choice act, established in 2008-2009. This act developed opportunities for private sector organizations.

In the peak times, the labor campaign stood potentially alongside the powerful policymakers and business leaders as the prominent institutions to shape the nation's polity and economy. The union workers cherished the healthy increase in pay resulting from working under a strengthened union-negotiated contract. However, the non-union workers also cultivated immense advantages from the presence of strong labor. As per the research conducted at Harvard University, the nonunion workers were compared in highly localized industries and locales to the nonunion employees in chunks of the labor market with the presence of little unions. After establishing the fundamental determinants of wages as specific educational levels, it was revealed that the nonunion workers in potentially unionized areas and industries cherished substantially higher wages. Therefore, the economic perks of a strong labor movement redounded to unregulated and unorganized workers in addition to the union members. The craft union and relevant unions in the early 20th century engaged in a wide range of discriminatory practices. Consequently, the instance, in 1935, when Franklin Roosevelt promulgated the Wagner Act, less than 1% of trade unionists were of African American ethnicity ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"ajbmh7upl7","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Sherk, n.d.)","plainCitation":"(Sherk, n.d.)"},"citationItems":[{"id":1357,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/ccgWoSRn/items/EBKUP7AT"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/ccgWoSRn/items/EBKUP7AT"],"itemData":{"id":1357,"type":"webpage","title":"What Unions Do: How Labor Unions Affect Jobs and the Economy","container-title":"The Heritage Foundation","abstract":"What do unions do?

The Wagner Act aimed at strengthening the fundamental rights of the workers of the private sector. However, millions of people belonging from minorities struggled to cherish the protection. Throughout the second phase of the 20th century, several unions advanced to denounce these xenophobic and racist legacies.

Meanwhile, these events shaped the path for African Americans who were keen to avoid racist policies. These African Americans, soon, manifested in the highest organization rates of any ethnic or racial group. The primary reason for their incorporation in these unions accounted for the protection of their rights in organizations. There were more than 40% African American men and 25% of African American women employed in the private sector. These impressive organization rates assisted to narrow the racial disparities vested in wages after raising African American wages. Had these union declines not occurred from the 1970s, the weekly wages of the black males would be estimated $50 higher. Several immigrants and children, the population of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) utilized these movements to infiltrate into the nation’s middle class.

The influence of the equalizing impact of the union was not confined to the economic paradigm. A wide range of research has revealed that the union membership instigates civic participation in non-elite populations of America. For instance, voting is an explicit illustration of the practice defined by education and income. Most of the Americans are likely to vote. The unions assisted to confront the categorized inequality in political ventures to ensure that the stakeholders honored the desires and needs of a plethora of non-elite Americans.

The employers are against the unions due to various reasons. Besides the personal benefits, they find the role of the union as cartels. For instance, several times unions claim high wages for the labor but employer comprehends the reality. The actual reason for the increase in wage is limiting productivity. Union members control the supply of the goods and services due to which consumers have to pay more than the actual price. This high price leads to the high wages for the union labors. However, it is the illegal method to achieve high wages as high productivity should be the aim of the labors. The efficient and sufficient use of labor is more beneficial for the economy rather than obtaining revenue by limiting the supply.

The labor movement is somehow in a challenging period where attacks from anti-union sources have crippled the model of union organization. The core reason for the continuous attacking and struggling to lower the strength of the labor movement is to weaken the footsteps of labors in public sector membership base ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"arsag1hhs8","properties":{"formattedCitation":"{\\rtf (\\uc0\\u8220{}How today\\uc0\\u8217{}s unions help working people,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)}","plainCitation":"(“How today’s unions help working people,” n.d.)"},"citationItems":[{"id":1358,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/ccgWoSRn/items/QMUESI8Z"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/ccgWoSRn/items/QMUESI8Z"],"itemData":{"id":1358,"type":"post-weblog","title":"How today’s unions help working people: Giving workers the power to improve their jobs and unrig the economy","container-title":"Economic Policy Institute","abstract":"Americans have always joined together—whether in parent teacher associations or local community organizations—to solve problems and make changes that improve their lives and their communities.

Supporters of an anti-union especially lobbying group and policymakers are trying to defang and defund the public sector unions. They are struggling to stop the growing size and superiority. Politicians used the labor movement as a power card during the elections but their role after being elected is not positive towards labors. Labors found political parties especially Democratic Party curious as even after giving them a source of finance and votes during the campaign. There are few allies who actually show their support by action rather than by dialogues.

Conclusion

The unions manifested some advantage by providing organizational and financial support to the political parties. They acquired a series of successes at the local and state level. The most prominent advantages that union accomplished included the increase in minimum wages and paid medical leaves. The primary source of success for the unions on the behalf of America's middle and working class will be challenging to accomplish in the absence of regulating a plausible platform of funding. The bottom line is that widespread inequality will sustain in society unless a revitalized labor movement is established. A critical appraisal of the events reflects that American society deems the labor union as part of the adversity, not the solution. The unions have utterly struggled to cultivate a positive image in public. The radical stories of mob influence, labor racketeering and critical trials of labor officials for bribery and embezzlement are a common practice. Therefore, these unions have failed to manifest a productive growth, profound influence and consequent wages for the labors. The negative perception constructed in society primarily contributes to the hatred and resentment subjected to these labor unions. In addition, several Americans prefer to approach the government instead of turning toward the unions. The workers are largely dependent on the pensions, protection against discrimination, healthcare and several pertinent perks which were previously offered by unions. These beliefs and state of affairs define the contemporary manifestations for the unions in America.
