From the Paper "One of the most foundational issues facing businesses of any size in the modern economic world is employee retention. Gone are the days where one individual keeps the same job for their entire working career retiring with 30 years of service and a gold watch. The current business climate in both small, medium and large companies includes one of transitional employees, both intentional and unintentional. On the whole much more funds are spent on the job and external training than has been spent in the past as a result of the fact that most people now work one job or career for no more than about ten years and then either move forward in the company to a completely different position or more commonly move on to another company or even to a completely different career."

From the Paper "Aggression is defined as "to commit the first act of hostility or offence". It is recognized that such behavior is observed in students when they perceive certain situations to be beyond their control and ability. Thus these emotions are misdirected and are centered towards the person who happens to be closest at hand. Thus the student aims to assert himself by demonstrating power and abusive behavior, and thus he unleashes his pent-up emotions."
