Almonaitiene, J. (2011). Motivating Employees in Small and Medium Business Enterprises in the Context of Intense Workforce Emigration. Social Sciences, 72(2), 7-15.
Based the Hertzberg’s Hygiene and Motivating theory, the author of this article collects data showing that the incomplete motivators may be the reasons why the workers and employees are not satisfied at work and decide to leave and emigrate. Data also show that opinions concerning hygiene and motivating factors are very different amongst the employees with different age, educational level and work position. In general, Almonaitiene’s research matches Hertzberg’s dual factor theory. In order to retain employees, employers need to find out what are the hygiene and motivating factors for different employees. This research helps my essay in small business motivation issues and provide suggestions on motivating factors in small businesses.

The author and researcher collect data on motivations at R&D department staff at the high tech companies. The study and research evaluate the data from several aspects: sample, operational measures, high tech vs traditional firms, stage in product life cycle, productivity, etc. The research shows that the high salary for the R&D staff is not enough as motivation.
The authors of the article I chose “Childhood Sexual Abuse, Distress, and Alcohol-Related Moderation by Drinking to Cope” were Kathryn Z. Smith, Phillip H. Smith and Emily R. Grekin. And their hypotheses was “childhood sexual abuse would be associated with distress, but that this distress would only be associated with problem drinking among those who scored high on coping motives for drinking”. Found on page four of ten. They started with the hypothesis that distress would mediate the pathway between childhood sexual abuse and problem drinking. Also that the pathway between distress and problem drinking would be moderated by coping motives for drinking. They used path analyses to examine the moderated-mediation.

The main purpose of this article is to examine various research on the etiology of stuttering. The experimental research explored various brain circuitries involved, specifically the the basal ganglia. Furthermore, the meta-analysis discussed neuroimaging, lesion, pharmacological, and genetic studies on the neural circuitries connected to persistent developmental stuttering and acquired neurogenic stuttering.
IRB is an administrative body established by UNT to protect the rights and welfare of human research subjects enrolled in research. They review the research if it is conducted using any UNT employees or students as subjects, using UNT’s non-public information to identify or contact human research subjects, and research conducted by UNT employee or student in connection with their UNT responsibilities or studies. The IRB has the right to approve or disapprove all the modifications needed for research. It reviews all IRB applications and approves the research if criteria are met. IRB will review the applications for completeness, minimizing risks to subjects, ensuring voluntary participation, verifying the selection of subjects is equitable,

. . van, d. B. (2007). The association between conduct problems and the initiation and progression of marijuana use during adolescence: A genetic analysis across time. Behavior Genetics, 37(2), 314-25. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10519-006-9124-1 The researchers raise the question of how largely genetic factors play a role in the influence of marijuana use on the individual. Previous research suggests that there is not just one factor, but individuals are more likely to be environmentally influenced. The researchers challenge these findings and suggest that genetics has just as much influence on the individual. Using a longitudinal research design the authors investigated both genetic and environmental influences on the association between earlier conduct problems and the initiation and progression of marijuana use during adolescence. Bivariate genetic analyses were conducted to establish whether marijuana initiation and progression represented a single liability of risk or alternatively, whether these behaviors were more accurately represented as independent liabilities. These findings mark an important shift away from documenting cross-sectional associations between conduct problems and substance use, from which it is impossible to determine the direction of effects, toward the use
There is not an author. Since there is no author i can not answer this question. I can tell that this source is well written and ready to argue the position against the issue because they have a lot of good information about the argumentative issue. This source is found on a website that is called Shark Online. The intended readers are more for the rodeo people. The people that think rodeo is and isn’t abuse. The position being argued here is that rodeo is abusive to the animals because they claim that when people are doing the events that they hurt the animal. For example, they say that when cowboys are calf roping or doing break away the are saying that they rope tightens and stays tighten. That is not true what so ever, yes the rope tightens for a couple seconds then it releases then the calf is let go. The rope is not tight enough where the calf can’t breathe.
The survey was administered to respondents holding different profiles ¡V 56% male and 45% female, in different age groups. Their occupations were mainly consultants (20%), managers (18%), professionals (11%), IT (6%), secretarial (2%), etc. The survey included the factors that motivates employees (table below)
This study aims to investigate the impact of compensation on employee motivation in a manufacturing unit comprising of 120 employees
Inadequate financial motivation is the first hygiene factor that influence motivation. With the development of the company, Xinye has established salary system containing clear-cut rating salary of different level of positions. The reality, however, is not always as fair as what it says in the regulations. For example, two members of the same position in one department doing totally same tasks but having distinction cross even three levels of salary. According to Adams (1963), comparison cause inequity between colleagues, thus the one who was paid less may requires for a higher salary, which always rejected by the managers in practice. What is most likely to occur in reality is that the one who was paid less tends to invest less energy and endeavor in their daily work, and even quit their job, to pursue a psychological balance. Besides, comparison also exist between different organizations, such as employees tends to compare their welfare with other company’s. As a result of which, employees in Xinye always feel frustrated due to
