Secretaries Prefer Bucks to Blooms

Article Abstract:

Secretarial compensation by an organization is an important consideration for personnel managers. The prevailing attitude of compensating secretaries with flowers and candy is perceived as offensive. Studies reveal that salary scales for secretaries are based on seniority as opposed to performance. Another finding is that after twenty-five to thirty-five years of experience, age discrimination by employers lowers secretarial compensation. Most secretaries feel little chance for career advancement, and find that further education does not effect their payment schedule. Personnel practices toward secretaries should change from the offering of flowers to the offering of recognition and salary raises.

It's No Accident: What You Think Is What You Do

Article Abstract:

Research has identified employee attitude as a contributory factor to occupational accidents. A good attitude effects safe performance. The employee's behavior is subject to his environment, his relationships, and his own messages to himself. These work factors can be positive or negative, and the supervisor can influence toward which attitude the factors will gravitate. When the supervisor encourages a positive employee attitude, accidents can be prevented. Supervisory involvement in employee attitude can influence a safe environment.
