The Changing Nature of Work

The Changing Nature of Work

As a potential personnel consultant, you have to keep up the with the changing nature of work in order to analyze jobs, recruit applicants, select employees, determine salary levels, train employees, and evaluate employee performance. You have to use your existing knowledge as well as keep abreast of how the field is evolving. For example, consider the impact of technology on industries and careers. The careers that your parents might have considered highly desirable, such as working in the car factory, are now almost obsolete. This is due to the changing nature of work, such as the inclusion of technology.

For this Discussion, reflect on the article, “The End of the Job,” and think about the author’s definition of a job. Consider how the changing nature of work may impact you as a potential personnel consultant.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 5 a brief explanation of two influences that changed the nature of work. Then, explain how the changing nature of work requires new demands for research. Finally, explain one way that the changing nature of work might impact you as a potential personnel consultant. Support your response with the Learning Resources and current literature.

Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera, writing homework help

Respond to this post using 200 to 220 words included a citation in the response

I opened my junk drawer and saw items which do not have similarities. I just saw my digital cameras, USB cables and thumb drives.

The first item is Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera. Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera, with its optical zoom is a wonderful camera with which I have traveled across seas and cities and took my unforgettable pictures and videos. It is an interesting very useful technology. I have taken my families birthdays and weedings, graduations, sceneries and wild life and a lot.

The second item is all types of USB cables, the mini B5 Pin Cables for cellphones, cameras, GPSs, MP3 players, I was using them to my camera, TV, laptop, cellphones. I will take them out whenever I use them but never remember where they are unless there is a need.

The third item were USB flash drives.These are two SanDisk 16 GB and Ultra 32 GB Flash drives. I remember as I have stored very useful documents, pictures and unimportant documents too. These are documents from my previous offices, personal, graduate school, my published books and pictures I have taken long ago.

Each of these items are electronics, information technology devices , that were very useful for input, output processing and storage. Using my, camera, USB connectors and USB flash drives with my laptop I have sent data, documents, pictures and video to people at distant locations. Usman and Said (2012) argued as technological devices have risen to the highest level because they have provided connectivity at any locality and also changed peoples life. These technologies have a meaningful impact in my life too.

Two Java application using NetBeans IDE, Assignment Homework Help

Modify the Week Two Java application using NetBeans IDE to meet these additional and changed business requirements:

  • The company has recently changed its total annual compensation policy to improve sales.
  • A salesperson will continue to earn a fixed salary of <$35,750>. The current sales target for every salesperson is <$120,000)>.
  • The sales incentive will only start when 80% of the sales target is met. The current commission is <10%> of total sales.
  • If a salesperson exceeds the sales target, the commission will increase based on an acceleration factor. The acceleration factor is <2.25>.
  • The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it should display the total annual compensation.
  • The application should also display a table of potential total annual compensation that the salesperson could have earned, in $5000 increments above the salesperson’s annual sales, until it reaches 50% above the salesperson’s annual sales.

Sample Table: Assuming a total annual sales of $100,000, the table would look like this:

Total Sales

Total Compensation

100,000

<<Program calculated value>>

105,000

<<Program calculated value>>

110,000

<<Program calculated value>>

115,000

<<Program calculated value>>

120,000

<<Program calculated value>>

125,000

<<Program calculated value>>

130,000

<<Program calculated value>>

135,000

<<Program calculated value>>

140,000

<<Program calculated value>>

145,000

<<Program calculated value>>

150,000

<<Program calculated value>>

The Java application should also meet these technical requirements:

  • The application should have at least one class, in addition to the application’s controlling class.
  • The source code must demonstrate the use of conditional and looping structures.
  • There should be proper documentation in the source code.

Your responses to another’s work should be posted as a sub-thread to the student’s original posting of whom you are commenting.

For all Forum activity, students are encouraged to use the APUS Online Library to search for references that help support their argument (in addition to textbook material). All posts should contribute and advance the class knowledge of the course themes. The Forum provides an opportunity for everyone to analyze work from many different perspectives.
