Assignment Details

The human resource employee benefits and compensation programs are built upon the in-depth evaluation of each position and the determination of its value within the construct of the organization. Job analysis is a critical component in this process. Another major part is market pricing, which assumes that the pay set by the employers is an accurate reflection of a job’s worth. Both parts are important to ensuring that equity in pay and compensation exists. In the event that equity and fairness are not always met for compensation and benefits, this could lead to employee dissatisfaction and retention problems. It is therefore incumbent upon the organization to correct any inequities.

This discussion has three parts, as follows:

1. From your perspective, what type of compensation is a greater motivator for you, and why? Ensure that your discussion provides substantial detail.
2. Think about the pros and cons associated with the concept of market pricing. What have your personal experiences been in relation to fairness and equity of your own compensation where you have worked? Use your experience to provide examples of pros and cons. Use 4 examples in your response.
3. Discuss how a compensation method can be used to assist with employee retention. Consider 4 different ways in your discussion and from your personal experiences in which you were personally impacted by the examples you have provided.

What does it mean to be intelligent? What part is intellect, and what part is emotion?

Aristotle's Challenge: "Anyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - this is not easy." Nicomachean Ethics

You can take the last part of this quote as a definition of emotional intelligence: "to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way" -- that is emotional intelligence. How to hold back your emotional impulses. How to read another person's feelings. How to handle relationships smoothly. People skills, as opposed to skills with things and ideas. And you can learn it.

Even if you argue that IQ is genetic, that it can't be changed, you can change how well you deal with things emotionally. You can learn how to do better with your emotions, and with other people. Emotional intelligence is your passion for anything, your self-control, your tact, your persistence, your motivation—basically, your ability to work your emotion into whatever will help you get to where you want.

Why would you want to be more emotionally intelligent?

1. It helps you.  It's for your own personal, individual benefit. You get a better chance in life if you can act and interact with emotional intelligence.
2. It helps us.  Our society, our world, desperately needs people to behave with emotional intelligence.  As a culture - American culture, or even as a world society - are we doing okay?  In the book you’ll start reading right away, Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman talks about the fabric of society unraveling - and he brings it down to how people are using, or misusing, their emotions with one another.
