IOP/455: Week 5 Discussion Response 2

Reply to your classmate.Be constructive and professional in your responses.175 word minimum.1 APA style reference.Please further discussion the below response by commenting on how did group think play into all of this?Mercedes McVeigh6/30/20, 1:22 PMThis event is quite devastating. Not only because seven innocent and dedicated people died, but because of the error and lack of ethical decision making on NASA, MTI, as well as Congress. With such a huge as well as dangerous mission, there should have been measures taken where double and triple checking every component of the take off should have occurred. If anything, this excerpt just showed how money rules everything in this world. I have seen it first hand in the medical field and it is quite horrifying that scientists would be pressured like that when it is possible that our world might depend on space travel and findings. Something I have taken away from this reading, that I can certainly apply to my future ethical decision making, is not to be pressured to do anything that can cause harm to anyone or myself regardless of the consequences. Also, speaking up when something is very wrong while no one else is. Being aware of surroundings and checking my work space as well as planning ahead for anything to happen. This was a very unfortunate event and it is imperative that safety is always implemented for any life.

Write a 3page compensation and benefits package for a new expatriate position working for either Java Corp or an organization with which you are familiar.

Introduction

Structuring and communicating a total compensation package that meets regulatory requirements and the needs of a global workforce requires a delicate balancing act between what is required and what will contribute to an effective relationship between employer, employee, and the community or country in which the company operates. Communicating benefits programs to employees can be as important as the benefits themselves. Knowing how to leverage all available compensation options is a necessary skill for any HR professional.

Preparation

Research compensation and benefits for either Java Corp or an organization of your choice. A minimum of four resources are required to support your work.

Scenario

For this assessment, choose either option 1 or 2. You do not need to do both. You will apply one of these scenarios in the instructions below. Both options will be graded using the same scoring guide.

Option 1

You are the new HR manager for Java Corp, a domestic cold coffee and tea company. Java Corp is opening a new office in London, England. You are planning on filling one executive level position with a U.S. citizen. In the scenario, the employee filling the role can either be an existing employee or a new hire. The term of the initial assignment is two years. Design a compensation package for this position as the new HR manager.

Option 2

Choose an organization to use for this assessment. It can be where you are currently employed or a company with which you are familiar. It must be an organization that is researchable, as you will need to gather and analyze information to complete the assessment. You may use the same organization you have used in past assessments.

If you choose the organization where you are currently employed, please keep in mind that the analyses you make must be based on facts that can be documented rather than your personal opinion as an employee.

How to Determine the Credibility of Sources of Information.

/in /by

Write 2 pages with APA style on How to Determine the Credibility of Sources of Information. Information is considered one of the most vital parts of an individual’s day to day activities, where without it, nothing would progress. Information has been in existence since time immemorial, and it has been viewed as an areal entity, unable to act on its own (Engle, 15). The term information can be defined as stimuli that have meaning in some context for its receiver (Engle, 15). It is that which makes communication between two individuals possible.

Time and again, people, especially students have been advised on ensuring that the information they acquire from resources such as agencies, periodicals, organizations and institutions is credible. As it has been observed, the real strength of a student’s writing rests in large part on the quality of research informing his or her argument (Engle, 17). It is thus important to recognize the types of resources used for instance peer and non-peer-reviewed articles.

ESSAY

Differences between peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed articles

Peer-reviewed articles refer to those articles read by subject experts before being published in a journal (Engle, 22). These articles need to pass through the review process as a way of ensuring that the published articles exhibit the highest quality in their fields. On the other hand, non-peer-reviewed articles are those articles that have not been revised by an expert or passed through the review process (Engle, 24). There are a few differences that exist between peer-reviewed articles and non-peer-reviewed articles for instance, while peer-reviewed articles are closely checked to ensure they are correct, unlike non-peer-reviewed articles. Additionally, peer-reviewed articles are given more authority as compared to non-peer reviewed articles. Peer-reviewed articles hold under the scrutiny of one’s peers, who are considered experts in similar fields.&nbsp.

How to Determine the Credibility of sources of information

A person can look for who the author of the particular article is, and ensure whether or not they can find out about that individual or organization (Engle, 29). It is also important to determine the type of site one is considering, for instance. if the database or site is recommended by the library, if it is an online periodical or version of a print publication as well as if the site is a blog or homepage owned by a single individual (Engle, 32). To be able to assess whether or not the information being published is credible is to understand the site a particular site had for publishing information, and if the individual who developed the resource has the knowledge and authority for developing it (Engle, 34).

CONCLUSION

People especially students should be made aware of or rather educated on how to determine the credibility of sources of data, as they are the ones who are additionally vulnerable to acquiring non-peer-reviewed information. Majority of non-peer-reviewed articles usually do not possess a sober, serious appearance and often contain attractive pictures. That is why it is necessary to take the above-mentioned steps in identifying and evaluating a credible source of information.
