Martin Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (2000) contend that if the study of human development turns towards a “positive psychology” then: …the social and behavioral sciences can play an enormously important role. They can articulate a vision of the good life that is empirically sound while being understandable and attractive. They can show what actions lead to well-being, to positive individuals, and to thriving communities. Psychology should be able to help document what kinds of families result in children who flourish, what work settings support the greatest satisfaction among workers, what policies result in the strongest civic engagement, and how people’s lives can be most worth living (44-45) One goal of positive psychology is to move beyond just describing our social reality to prescribing social policies that can transform society. Read Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi (Selction 8 of Classic Editions). What three ideas do they present in contrast to ‘psychology as pathology’? What are the implications of their ideas for social policy and/or your life?

A human resources manager keeps a record of how many years each employee at a large company has been working in their current role. The distribution of these years of experience are strongly skewed to the right with a mean of 333years and a standard deviation of 222 years. Suppose we were to take a random sample of 444employees and calculate the sample mean for their years of experience. We can assume independence between members in the sample.

What is the probability that the mean years of experience from the sample of 444 employees xˉxˉx, with, \bar, on top is greater than 3.53.53, point, 5 years?

Lester Hollar is vice president for human resources for a large manufacturing company. In recent years, he has noticed an increase in absenteeism, which he thinks is related to the general health of the employees. Four years ago, in an attempt to improve the situation, he began a fitness program in which employees exercise during their lunch hour. To evaluate the program, he selected a random sample of eight participants and found the number of days each was absent in the six months before the exercise program began and in the last six months. Below are the results.

At the .05 significance level, can he conclude that the number of absences has declined? Estimate the p-value.

a. State the decision rule for 0.02 significance level: H₀ : μ_d≤ 0; H₁ : μ_d > 0. (Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.)

Reject H₀ if t >  .

b. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.)

Value of the test statistic            

c. Estimate the p-value? (Round the final answer to 4 decimal places.)

d. What is your decision regarding H₀?

At the 0.05 significance level,  (Click to select)  reject  do not reject  H₀.

1. a) In Chapter 9 (Week 9 Tutorial) we discussed the integration of the Human Resource Management and Payroll databases. In particular, we discussed different benefits of this integration in the Week 9 Tutorials.

   Some companies believe in the integration of HRM and Payroll systems. However, many firms do not agree with this integration. These companies maintain separate HRM information systems and Payroll.

   Required:

   Discuss both arguments. For this discussion, think in terms of (1) difference in employee background, and (2) functions performed by the HRM and payroll departments. [7 marks]

   [7 marks. Word limit: Up to 250 words.]

2. b) Mr Peter is the treasurer of a small charity and you asked him to explain the business activities and data processing operations involved in the payroll cycle of the charity. During this discussion, Peter explained that the charity is not using a separate cheque account to manage their Payroll due to the extra monthly services fee. Peter further explained that the benefits of a separate cheque account are not worth the additional fee.

   Required:

   As a student of accounting information systems, how would you respond to Peter? [4 marks] please write up to 150. no plagiarism please. thanks you very much sir.

Once an infection begins, a pathogen has passed the passive barriers, and the human immune response kicks in. This is a multifaceted and complex series of interactions and possibilities. I want you to explain how two responses could have occurred and will likely proceed. (a) a virus is quickly opsonized and consumed by a macrophage. (b) a bacterial pathogen you have never encountered bumps into one of your B-cells that possesses a matching antibody (what happens next)

The director of human resources for a large bank has compiled data on about 70 former employees at one of the bank’s call centers (see the below file Call Center Data). For each of the following, assume equal variances of the two populations.

a. Test the null hypothesis that the average length of service for males is the same as for females.

b. Test the null hypothesis that the average length of service for individuals without prior call center experience is the same as those with experience.

c. Test the null hypothesis that the average length of service for individuals with a college degree is the same as for individuals without a college degree.

d. Now conduct tests of hypotheses for equality of variances. Were your assumptions of equal variances valid? If not, repeat the test(s) for means using the unequal variance test.
