Book excerpt: In Faithful Careers Peter M. Smudde contends that God calls us to live an "integrated life" that unifies both the spiritual and the secular aspects of life. As an introduction to integrating the Catholic faith with one’s work, this book answers, in the Catholic context, basic questions of what work is, why work is important, who we are as workers, how may we have fruitful careers, where may we find help about faith-work integration, and when we should take next steps toward better integrating our work and the Catholic faith. Smudde demonstrates how the Catholic faith truly does apply to our labor, and that our lives depend on that labor, by putting forth particular matters of the faith that pertain to faithful careers. He then puts into real-world context, pertinent teachings, concepts, principles, practices, and other means the Catholic Church provides for us, so that those lessons can be practically applied on a daily basis. Sources such as the Bible and writings of the saints, popes, contemporary Catholic spiritual writers, apologists, and scholars are applied to strengthen the support made about the book’s content. Catholic professionals at all stages of their careers will welcome this insightful book, which explores the call to put spirituality in the foreground—to obtain ever-deeper faith and, thereby, greater integration of faith in everyday life and career.
Download or read book The Gospel at Work written by Sebastian Traeger and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find God’s vision for your job. Reclaim God’s vision for your life. Many Christians fall victim to one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment. In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a punch-in, punch-out mentality—in order to find the freedom of a work ethic rooted in serving Christ. You’ll find answers to some of the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask: What factors should matter most in choosing a job? What gospel principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my co-workers, and my employees? Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job? Is it okay to be motivated by money? How do you prioritize—or balance—work, family and church responsibilities? Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work with a challenge of its own—to remember that whom we work for is infinitely more important than what we do.
Download or read book The New Careers written by Michael Arthur and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1999-07-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `To career used to mean to swerve wildly or to go swiftly. In this beautifully argued, richly documented, original, liberating work, Arthur, Inksen, and Pringle demonstrate that the new careers once more are about swift swerves, unexpected agency, and enacted opportunities and constraints. Readers will think about the future in ways they never imagined possible. This is a good book. People need to get it in their hands to see how good it is′- Karl Weick, University of Michigan The New Careers offers a major new approach to the concept of career and the relation of the individual to the contemporary workplace. It shows that our traditional conceptions of careers are rooted in the stable conditions of the Industrial State model which has dominated the Twentieth century and that new models, better attuned to the New Economy of the later Twentieth and early Twenty-first centuries are now needed. The book points to careers as actions rather than structures, as a means of learning rather than means of earning, and as boundaryless entities rather than constrained ones. It also points to the return of the career as a key concept in social analysis, but shows that in the light of new phenomena, the `career′ as we traditionally know it will never be the same again. This innovative and accessible book is based on work for which Michael Arthur, Kerr Inkson and Judith Pringle won the Academy of Management prize for best section paper, which forms the core of this book.

Download or read book Self Policing in Politics written by Glenn R. Parker and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to what news reports might suggest, the majority of politicians behave ethically and are never subject to investigations. Is this because of the elaborate system of rules Congress has constructed to regulate the conduct of its members as well as the fear of electoral reprisal? Drawing on economic literature on the behavior of firms, Glenn Parker answers no. He argues that members of Congress behave ethnically not because of the fear of punishment but because of their concern for their reputations. He draws parallels between politicians and businesses, since both stand to suffer significantly when accused of wrongdoing. Just as business' poor behavior can cause brand names to be tarnished, prices to plummet, and future business to disappear, dishonest politicians stand to sacrifice the human capital invested in their careers, and premiums for honesty, such as electoral security and prestigious post-elective employment. Parker explores public attitudes toward the behavior of members of Congress and shows how those attitudes shape the way members conduct their professional lives. Written from the perspective of public choice, this book offers a novel approach to the question of how to keep politicians honest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses human resource management in PSUs. The aim was to explore the Human Resource Policies of the employee separation of employees in PSUs in India. The book consists of a compilation of six chapters and an extended summary. The study in the book is based on a combination of multiple, comparative, and single-case studies of PSUs in India. The core studies were conducted by the author at 29 PSUs in 40 Cities of 18 States, The results indicate central challenges regarding HR Policies on employee separation by Termination, Suspension, Dismissal, Retirement, Voluntary Retirement Scheme, Layoff, Resignations, Non-Promotion, Physical Disability, besides other policies. The increased responsibility and pressured work environment for PSU’s employees/workers. This study was aimed at identifying certain variables related to HR policies on employee separation in PSUs in India. The study determines the effect of HR policies on the satisfaction level of employees as well as legal compliances with the impact of gender, experience, age-wise difference, type of separation. The population of the study was HR Directors, General Managers, HR Managers, and employees working in PSUs in India. There were 14100 male and female PSU employees who responded to the author. The questionnaire instrument was used for data collection from various PSUs, and the HR policies assessment was done. The author used it after getting the formal permissions from the PSUs. The study addressed the following specific objectives; the first was to survey HR Policies of employees of PSUs, the second was to study and determine the different types of HR Policies related to employee separation in PSUs in India, and the third was to survey the behavior of employees towards Voluntary /Non-voluntary Separation. The study specifically discussed the hypothesis of study mainly classified into seven hypothesis such as (1) HR Policies Related - There was no significant difference of perception about HR Policies between PSU regular and separated employee (2) HR Policies and Discrimination/ Harassment related - There was no significant difference of perception between regular and separated employees so far as HR Policies of PSU and Discrimination/ Harassment at PSU (3) Employee Separation related - There was no significant difference between regular and separated employees about HR Policies and employee separation at PSU. The author had used a comprehensive and stratified questionnaire distributed to about 15000 persons consisting of workers, supervisors, officials, and managers of PSUs, out of which, only 14275 were received back duly filled, the remaining didn’t respond in spite of repeated visits. The 175 questionnaires were rejected due to incomplete and wrong answers by respondents. There were 14100 valid questionnaires that were found valid for the purpose of the study. There were total three questionnaires, which were: (1) ESS1 - What employees Say (For regular and separated employees of PSUs) (2) ESS2 - What PSUs Says (For Director/Managers of HR/Legal Dept. of PSU), (3) ESS3 - What Govt. Dept. Says (For Govt. Dept. of Public Enterprise). The statistical tools used for analysis include Frequency, Percentages, Mean, Standard Deviation (S.D.), T-Test, and Chi-Square Test. The author is sure that the study was a fact-finding and pioneer, and motivates and stimulates further researches in this field. I wrote this book especially for Director (Human Resource), Human Resource Managers, which will certainly help them to understand the various legal aspects of HR Policies related to Employee Separation to enhance the productivity and efficiency of performance of employees in the organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is Christian faithfulness virtually invisible in American society today? Where are God's faithful people and what do they look like? In an effort to answer these questions, William E. Diehl records the results of his own search for faithfulness. ÒI decided to look for faithfulness in those very places where it appeared not to be - in the world of business, for instance. And I decided to use exactly the same approach used by Peters and Waterman in their best seller, In Search of Excellence.Ó Using real-life stories to illustrate both the successes and problems of Christian faithfulness in the world community, Diehl concludes that the church must do a better job in nurturing growth in faith.
