How to Get Promoted as an Educator

Everyone in academic medicine wants to get promoted, right? It comes with a new title (and new business cards), new opportunities and, in some centers, a salary increase and the possibility of sabbatical time. That's a no-brainer, isn't it? Or is it?

Firms’ Salary Adjustment in Response to Crises

This study aims to investigate firms’ behavior on salary adjustment in response to the Covid-19 crisis and presents findings on median basic salary change in the Malaysian labor market by occupational groups during quarters 3 and 4, 2020. The result finds a lower prevailing salary offer for the newly employed. For high-skilled occupations, employees above the age of 40 have seen the median salary class dropping one class below, while the young cohort below age 40 climbs up one salary class. The study has employed different machine learning techniques to build classification models for the prediction of the binary outcomes, namely “salary freeze or cut”, or “salary increase”. The findings discovered that the important factors that increase the likelihood of a “salary freeze or cut” for the newly employed had been consistently attributed to the occupational group by MASCO and the number of available job vacancies. Besides that, the job opportunity and salary potential for mid-skilled jobs are found to be shrinking despite the younger age cohort of workers receiving a higher median salary in Q4 as compared to Q3; this, however, comes with a reduction in job vacancies.

A Study on the Key Factors of CSR Indicators for Tenderers in Procurement Screening Using the Delphi Method and DEMATEL-Based Analytic Network Process

European Union public procurement law increasingly allows countries’ authorities to take corporate social responsibility (CSR) into account in public procurement decisions. Up to 2022, few public procurements were determined by these key factors of CSR scoring items. It is worthy to study whether there is consistency in tenderers’ views on CSR indicators and factors. In this study, 10 experts working in companies from different government entities were invited to participate in a questionnaire survey. In this study, a DEMATEL-based analytic network process (DANP) was applied to find out the weights of each indicator. Our finding shows the important criteria selected for tenderers were measures to support “work–life balance” for employees and “salary increase for employees”. These are important responses to the problems encountered by companies in CSR practices and can be used as a reference to enhance corporations’ CSR goals or pursue future sustainable business excellence.

District attorney compensation and performance

We attempt to identify the causal effect of wages on a prosecutor’s effort by studying an exogenous salary increase in New York. We measure the performance by the likelihood that a conviction is upheld when appealed. If the efficiency wage theory explains behavior, then the exogenous wage shock should entice better performance. Alternatively, if individuals who hold office are motivated primarily by an intrinsic motivations rather than strictly financial compensation, then their performance would be unrelated to changes in their salary. We mostly find, inconsistent with efficiency wage theory, that a pay increase has a null effect on prosecutor performance.

Implementasi Metode Moora Pada Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Penilaian Kinerja Karyawan

Employee performance appraisal is needed by an agency or company with the aim of evaluating performance and improving the quality of competent human resources and high loyalty for each employee at work, then an agency or company can give awards to each of its employees such as contract extensions, salary increases , get special promotions, appointments, and allowances, which can motivate every employee. This study aims to facilitate a planner in a company PT. SUPRACO INDONESIA in providing performance appraisals of each employee uses a decision support system using the Multi Objective Optimization On The Basic Of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method.

In the tests carried out using Blackbox Testing, for all the features on the system running 100% with very good information and testing using the UAT (User Acceptance Test) method, it showed that the results of system user acceptance were 92%.

Access to information and communication

This paper attempts to estimate the determinants of Internet usage in South Africa in a theoreticallyplausible model. The three-step Engle Yoo estimation technique is applied. The results indicatethat the number of Internet users is dependent on access to personal computers as well as realwages and salaries. An error correction model is estimated and shocks are applied to the longrun variables. The shocks indicate that an increase in wages and salaries is necessary, but notsufficient, for an increase in Internet access. The South African government has implementednumerous policies to address the disparities that exist in the country concerning access toinformation and communication. Policies such as personal income tax relief and skills developmentplay an integral part in addressing limited access to the Internet, although these policies sometimescontradict the perceived objective.

Is Video-Based Analysis a Valid Method for Determining Mechanisms of Ankle Injuries During Gameplay in the National Basketball Association?

In the National Basketball Association (NBA), lower extremity injuries account for over 70% of games missed, with ankle injuries being the most common. High-quality video analysis has been successful for studying injury mechanism. To (1) determine the validity of video-based analysis as a method to evaluate ankle injury mechanisms in NBA players and (2) analyze the circumstances associated with injury, games missed due to injury, and associated costs in player salary due to time missed. Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Ankle injuries were identified using an injury report database, and corresponding videos were searched using YouTube.com to access high-quality video evidence of these injuries during the 2015-2020 NBA regular season. We reviewed 822 injuries, of which 93 had corresponding videos (video subset), in our final analysis. Variables including number of games missed, necessity for surgical treatment, and injury recurrence were reported for the entire cohort. In the video subset, the mechanism of injury and other corresponding situational data were evaluated. The most common mechanism of injury occurred via ankle inversion (83.9%; n = 78; P < .001). These injuries were significantly associated with indirect contact with the player's ankle (79.6%; n = 74; P < .001). There were significant differences based on player position, within both the video subset (P = .008) and the entire cohort (P < .001), with guards being injured the most frequently. The average number of games missed due to injury was 7 games in the video subset and 5 games in the entire cohort (P = .14). There were significant differences between the groups in average player salary per game ($133,878 [video subset] versus $87,577 [entire cohort]; P < .001). Despite its low yield of 11.3%, video analysis proved to be a useful tool to determine ankle injury mechanisms as well as the distribution of injuries based on player position. However, this methodology was subject to selection bias, as evidenced by a $50,000 increase in player salary among the video cohort. These findings should be considered when using video analysis in future studies.

Renewable energy power plants and economic development in Brazil’s northeast region

Brazil’s northeast is now the region with the largest installed capacity of renewable energy, predominantly wind and solar power. The purpose of this research is to show the relationship between the installation of renewable energy power plants and the economic development in the northeast of Brazil. The methodology used is the generalized spatial two-stage least-squares regression with a spatial lag of the dependent (GDP per capita and salary growth) and independent variables (presence of solar or wind power plant). The results indicate that the presence of renewable energy power plants is beneficial only in terms of GDP per capita growth and not in terms of salary increases. Moreover, the municipalities that benefit the most in terms of GDP per capita growth are the neighboring ones, meaning that the spillover effect is greater than the direct effect. Consequently, renewable power should be adjusted to economic and social situations to avoid local tensions with traditional resource users and inhabitants.

Implementation of Integrated System Related to Website-Based Employee Data Management

The purpose of this study is to implement the restful method of the subsystem into a website-based integrated system for managing employee data and to update the employee data management system in an integrated manner. Data collection methods used are observation, interviews, and library studies. The method used is the Rest method, better known as RESTful, in principle, a request for data to a RESTful web service is actually a reference or basic request in the delivery of resources through the media website.

Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Penilaian Karyawan Terbaik Dengan Metode SMART Pada AJB. Bumiputera 1912 wilayah Jambi

AJB. Bumiputera 1912 is one of the national companies engaged in insurance. Improving the quality of Human Resources, one of which is through the assessment of the best employees, is a non-negotiable priority if the company wants to get maximum business results and loyal employees. So far, the employee performance appraisal process is based on the assessment of the criteria for the last one year that has been determined based on the decision letter of the board of directors and contained in the Work Assessment Sheet (LPK) and the assessment is limited to the basis for determining periodic salary increases. This results in employees not being motivated to give their best and career stagnation. Based on these conditions, a decision support system for selecting the best employees is needed that can help managers determine the best employees based on existing criteria. So the final result of this research is the design of a decision support system for selecting the best employees with the SMART method which aims to facilitate decision makers in determining the best employees accurately and consistently.

SALARY AND BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION TOWARDS JOB SATISFACTION AMONG FACULTY MEMBERS IN THE PRIVATE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS OF MALABANG, LANAO DEL SUR

This study identified the personal profile, employees‟ benefits, perception of the employees on the adequacy and equitability of their salaries, and the level of job satisfaction of the faculty members in the private junior high schools of Malabang, Lanao Del Sur. The study was conducted at Malabang, Lanao del Sur. The respondents were the faculty members in the private junior high schools of Malabang, Lanao Del Sur. The findings of this study revealed that in terms of the profile of the respondents, the majority of them were young, female, single, at least college graduate, contractual employees, receiving the minimum wage prescribed under the BARMM Law. As to the benefits enjoyed by the faculty members, they almost received the monetary benefits and only a few on the non monetary benefits except for the Ramadhan bonus and hazard pay. In terms of the perception of the respondents on the adequacy and equitability of their salaries, they all agreed on the phrases stated in the questionnaire. The findings as to the level of job satisfaction in terms of “Job Status” revealed an overall mean score of 3.07, interpreted as “satisfied”; in terms of “Benefits Received”, the variable obtained a mean score of 2.40, interpreted as “unsatisfied”; as to “Basic Needs Fulfilment” it obtained an overall mean score of 3.0, interpreted “unsatisfied”; “Superior-subordinate Relations” obtained an overall mean score of 2.98, interpreted “unsatisfied”; Also “Advancement and Growth” obtained an overall mean score of 2.88, interpreted “unsatisfied”; “Teaching Experience” obtained an overall mean score of 2.93, interpreted “unsatisfied”. Some implications on policy formulation can be deduced from the findings of the study. Firstly, they want a salary increase and most of them are unsatisfied with the new minimum wage order provided under BARMM No. 01; secondly, they recommended additional benefits such as Summer pay, Ramadhan bonus,Christmas bonus, Cost of Living Allowance, Hazard pay, and Retirement benefits to allow them to meet both ends in this time of economic crisis. Policies on salary and benefits in private junior high schools should be seriously coordinated with the DepEd for additional subsidies for the faculty members. It is recommended that attention and immediate action should be given on the adequacy and equitability of salary. Setting up policies regarding salary is one way that the administration must do. Also conducting an evaluative survey on wage and salary scheme implementation is another way. This is to know whether these faculties are satisfied of the salary they received. It is also recommended that teachers in private junior high schools should enjoy some privileges besides their tenure of office such as Additional Benefits (Summer pay, Ramadhan bonus, Christmas bonus, Cost of Living Allowance, Hazard pay, and Retirement benefits), Private school should invest in the teachers growth and development, both faculty and administrators should endeavour to improve their educational attainment and attendance in seminars and training. They should at least earn a master's degree; the Government should also provide additional financial as a subsidy to the faculty employees in the private junior high schools.

Agricultural Land Transaction Prices Against the Background of Property Intended for Investment Purposes in Poland

Abstract Since Poland’s accession to the European Union in 2004, a steady increase in transaction prices of agricultural property has been observed. Also in other countries, mainly in Eastern and Central Europe, there has been an ongoing increase in the prices of agricultural land. The situation on the agricultural land market is influenced not only by the market mechanisms, but also by the political decisions, including restrictions in the turnover of land properties. The purpose of the study is to analyze the agricultural land market in Poland and to determine the relationship of average land prices for housing, service and industrial purposes against the average prices of agricultural land in 2004-2019. In the course of the study, price changes on the discussed market were assessed, and forecasts and simulations concerning the prices of agricultural properties and land intended for selected investment purposes were prepared. It was established that the increase in agricultural property prices over the recent dozen or so years is inadequate to the increase in the average gross salary in Poland and the average income from work at individual farms. However, the increase in prices is almost parallel to the increase in average transaction prices of property intended for housing purposes.

Evaluation of The Minimum Wage Determination System Indonesian Workers Based on Comparison Policy

This study was motivated by an increase in the average provincial minimum wage in 2022 across Indonesia by 1.09%. The percentage increase is considered not proportional to the increase in the price of goods to meet the needs of workers and their families. When compared to the average increase in the minimum wage in previous years, the provision of UMP increases in 2022 is relatively low. This research uses normative legal research methods with secondary data collection techniques. This research aims to educate a wide audience on the system of determining the minimum wage of Indonesian workers based on a comparison of wage policies. In addition, this study will provide an overview of the comparison of the wage system through the method of Government Regulation 78 of 2015 with Government Regulation 36 of 2021. The results of this study showed that the minimum wage determination system with the PP 78 method in 2015 prioritizes workers and their welfare. In addition, the government regulation uses democratic principles and considers the standard of living needs (KHL) in determining its minimum wage. Meanwhile, the minimum wage determination system using the PP 36 of 2021 method uses a established formula. The formula uses the upper median and lower median references in measuring the rate of salary increases of workers in Indonesia.

Students' Rating of the Activities of Scientific and Pedagogical Workers as a Tool of Student-Centered Learning

The article emphasizes that in the context of Ukraine's entry into the European Higher Education Area, the spectrum of didactic principles is expanding, among which the principle of student-centered learning is becoming more important. Based on the principles of student-centered learning, the students are responsible not only for their learning results but also for the components that influence the results, one of which is the evaluation of the activities carried out by academic and pedagogical workers. From now students of domestic institutions of higher education are involved not only in the development, improvement and evaluation of educational programs but also in the assessment of the professional active ties of teachers. To this end, higher education institutions are developing relevant normative documents and conducting surveys like “Teachers through the eyes of students”.&#x0D; It is noted that the world's leading education systems have significant achievements in student evaluation of the professionalism and personal qualities of teachers, and student evaluations of teaching (SET) serve as a basis for career growth, salary increases, etc. The domestic experience of student evaluations of scientific and pedagogical workers is not so long and successful; the evaluation is being formed. As a result, some problems arise, the effective solution of which depends on the internal normative provision of the procedure for conducting student evaluation of the activities of academic and pedagogical workers, obtaining reliable results and their further impartial use.&#x0D; Attention is focused on the fact that the psychological aspects of the subject-subject relationship of the teacher and students affect the evaluation of scientific and pedagogical workers, therefore, its results should not be absolute, but reinforced and checked with the help of other types of evaluations. With the help of a questionnaire survey of teachers of domestic institutions of higher education, their generally trusting attitude to the results of student evaluations was found out.&#x0D; The need for a balanced use of foreign experience in student evaluations is emphasized. For quite a long time of using the student rating (more than 50 years), foreign universities managed to avoid a number of risks and provide student ratings with leadership positions in the evaluation of the activities of scientific and pedagogical workers. Despite this, foreign researchers disagree about the effectiveness and objectivity of student ratings due to the influence on their results of the gender bias of some students, the physical attractiveness of scientific and pedagogical workers, different motivations of students to study, etc.&#x0D; A conclusion was made about the importance for the students to evaluate the activities carried out by scientific and pedagogical workers as a factor in the introduction of student-centered learning, the need to study the foreign experience of student evaluations of teaching (SET) and its dissemination, but taking into account and avoiding the risks revealed in the article regarding the completeness of the reliability of student evaluations.

Factors Determining the Development of Prosumer Photovoltaic Installations in Poland

The development of energy production from renewable sources includes the production of energy from photovoltaic installations by prosumers. In Europe, RES development is driven by political goals and requires subsidies during the deployment period, at least as long as the cost of renewable electricity does not reaches grid parity. The study attempts to determine the importance of factors in the development of energy production by prosumers from PV installations in Polish regions. In 2019, the ‘Moj Prad’ program was introduced, applying subsidies to investment costs and the settlement of energy production in the net-metering system. Almost 900 thousand prosumer PV installations were built by the end of 2021, with a total capacity of 5.9 GW. Solar energy share grew from 0.1 to 2.1%. Spatial econometrics models were use in research to determine factors of prosumer PV systems development in Poland (at NUTS-2). Spatial regimes were found in the studied regions, as indicated by a positive autocorrelation (0.75). Considering the pseudo-R-square co-efficient, we can conclude that the spatial error, i.e., factors not included in the GNS model, constitutes approximately 10%. The economic variables included in the Mansky model, i.e., level of salaries and GDP, explain 90% of the variability of installed PV capacity (Nagelkerke pseudo-R-squared value is 0.906). The level of development of prosumer photovoltaic installations (in W per capita) in regions depends primarily on economic factors represented by the level of salaries in a given region. With the increase in salaries by one unit, we also have an increase in installed power capacity in watts per person by 3.52. Surprisingly, the region’s overall wealth did not matter, as the relative number of installations in regions with lower GDP was higher than in others. One can explain that the individual income of households is more important for increasing the number of prosumer installations than the income of the regional economy. The increase in the number of installations in one region contributed to the subsequent increase in their number in neighboring regions.

Giving (positive) meaning to downward and horizontal occupational mobility to maintain individual well-being

This study addresses some limitations related to knowledge of the circumstances that contribute to perceptions of downward or horizontal occupational mobility as a positive experience, increasing work satisfaction, labour market security, and maintaining subjective well-being. In pursuing this objective, seven working-life biographies are examined that demonstrate causes of occupational mobility, the investment needed for transition and stabilisation, as well as attitudes towards the destination occupation. Although a sense of meaningful work helps individuals accept a reduced income, interviewees treat it as a transitional period, seeing a possibility for at least some increase in salary. Maintaining one’s original social networks while accepting a less qualified occupation also contributes to preserving individual well-being. These aspects are more pronounced in women’s life stories. A more ambiguous attitude can be seen in the experience of men who encountered occupational and financial decline. While decision-making awareness, confidence in one’s choice, and control of the process helps to stabilize potential frustration caused by decline, some isolation from previous networks appears in the keeping of distance, reducing contact intensity, or staying abroad for longer periods. Perhaps to regain their subjective sense of well-being, the former implements the principle of ‘discrete stages’ in their social life, a notion that reflects the situation of their working life.

Contribution of Education Policy Reforms towards Gender Dynamics and the Formalization of Domestic-work Sector: A Case of Mafinga Town Council, Tanzania

Currently, Tanzania is experiencing the policy of free education up to secondary school level. On the other hand, in Tanzania, domestic work is one of the sectors with the highest share of informal employment. However, after the introduction of free education policy up to form four, the availability of domestic workers is declining whereas the formalization of the domestic sector is persisting. It is against this background, this study aimed at analyzing the influence of the current educational policy towards the formalization of domestic sector in Mafinga town. The study was qualitative in nature whereby 30 domestic workers, 10 employers and 5 individuals from workers’ union were interviewed in the study area. The study found that the new education policy has contributed towards the increase of the age to domestic sector from 12 years to 17 years; and the number of daily routine workers has increased as opposed to residential workers. Besides, domestic works currently involves both males and females; there is the increase of the middle men to facilitate the availability of domestic workers. Due to education awareness, domestic workers are now demanding their rights including the vacation from their employers and increase of salary. In addition, there is scarcity of domestic workers that has led to the mushrooming of daycare centres. However, domestic workers faced an unlimited number of challenges including overworking with low wages, delayed payments, harsh working climates as well as low social recognition. The study hereby recommends for the improvement in the education sector among school-age females in order to minimize their involvement in the informal sectors as domestic sectors.
