Abstract
This paper identifies strategies for keeping a clerical assistant motivated when faced with a huge task for which her base pay cannot be elevated.

From the Paper
"A clerical assistant that is about to be inundated with extra work is one whose motivation may be sorely tested, yet that motivation is necessary to keep the work going. There are several ways that I as a manager can motivate my overworked and underpaid clerical assistant without raising her salary. Both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards are important but intrinsic rewards are often more meaningful if carefully thought out and they also cost little or nothing. One important factor in her motivation..."

Abstract
This paper examines the reasons behind the eventual creation of the Church of England by King Henry VIII. It discusses how, although problems with the Catholic Church did exist, on the whole society believed in its central teachings, participated in its operations and invested heavily, both emotionally and financially, in its future right up to and beyond the Parliament of 1529.

From the Paper
"Much of the reason why members of Parliament, who as lawyers and merchants had particular grievances with the Cardinal, allowed proceedings within the House to escalate - to the point that the Church itself was placed under the spotlight - might be sought in the satisfaction they drew from puncturing the taboo that the Church was beyond reproach. More plausibly, however, Parliament's eagerness to ridicule Wolsey stemmed from circumstances during the previous summer of 1528 when a severe outbreak of sweating illness broke out in London, claiming heavy casualties. A by-product of this epidemic was how it inadvertently contributed to shoring up the coffers of priests rather than doctors, since it led to the payment of more mortuary and probate fees. Such bitter experiences may have conceivably lingered in the mind of parliamentarians as a reason why debates were allowed to reach such venomous proportions. "

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to analyze the political and literary attitude of Geoffrey Chaucer (1340-1400) and to discuss his anti-clericalism. We will argue that Chaucer was a satirist of all aspects of society, including the church.

Chaucer's name, like so much of his language, was of French origin. It meant shoemaker, and probably was pronounced "shosayr." He was the son of John Chaucer, a London vintner. He won a good education from both books and life. His poetry abounds in knowledge of men and women, literature and history. In 1357 "Geoffrey Chaucer" was officially listed in the service of the household of the future Duke of Clarence. Two years later he was off to the wars in France. He was captured, but was freed for a ransom, to which Edward III contributed. It was a pleasant custom of those days, which admired poetry and ... "

Abstract
In this paper, the author discusses from a first-person perspective a self-assessment of his company. Several objectives are listed for this project, which include reading the company's annual report and human resources manual. Also suggested are various methods for measuring employee satisfaction and job performance. Some data is evaluated in the paper, and the author makes recommendations for improvement, especially with hiring and retaining clerical staff. The author suggests in his conclusion that the company implement the "360-degree Feedback performance appraisal system" to help with issues dealing with the clerical staff.

From the Paper
"One area in which I found a lack of motivation was the miscommunication between management and clerical workforce. Management would go out of town without telling anyone. The clerical staff is expected to answer phones and does not know where anybody is. Due to this, I saw a lack of trust on the clerical work force's part. That needs correcting. A lack of communication and trust are the top two motivational breakers. I would suggest management communicate better with the clerical workforce"

Abstract
In this article, the writer refers to papers that help to explain gender segregation in the Canadian workplace in the 20th century and subsequent developments including the Canadian Labor Movement's gradual attention to women and developments seeing women more often in unionized environments that lessened gender divisions. The writer notes that all of the articles are helpful to an understanding of topics broader than matters of labor and women for they allow glimpses of a Canadian society and culture quite transformed. The writer maintains that each paper should probably be read with consideration of all that the Canadian state did not provide to generic citizens or workers, imagining the orientations of workers, and employers, to what was acceptable or desirable, and possible, in a post-colonial economy of much alteration between the turn of the 20th century and the turn of the 21st century.

From the Paper
"Women were associated with family roles, first and foremost and as was true for another generation, those able to pursue professions usually did not marry. The under-reported women doctors graduated by several Ontario universities after the 1880s, for instance, chose their vocations ahead of family life, a convention then respected. Low's clerical workers of the business sector did not expect or particularly want advancement, but learnable jobs providing income and some security so as to maintain their household roles, too."
"By the end of World War I, women attended business colleges where they learned stenography. Low's article is of a kind focused on women's labour in relation to capitalism, of course, so unless a reader is curious, there can be no wider awareness of women who were performing differently in the public sphere, not the least of which were more than 4,000 Canadian military nurses serving on the Western Front and in the Middle East through the course of World War II. Of course, Low's point is to indicate how women became expected as office workers of particular kind, low paid and without advancement. Their situations were common but by no means general from 1901 to 1931."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief biography of George Eliot. It examines the social climate at the time and the reason the woman Mary Ann Evans felt she had to choose a man's nom de plume. This paper analyzes a few of her works, in brief : "Scenes of Clerical Life;" "Silas Marner;" "Adam Bede" and "The Mill on the Floss."

From the Paper
"Mary Ann Evans was born in Warwickshire and was the daughter of an estate agent or manager. Her education was a conventional one that was dominated by Christian teachings and touched by the enthusiasm generated by the Evangelical movement of church reform. While in her 20's she came associated with friends who were freethinkers. During this time Mary Ann underwent a radical transformation of her beliefs. The German school of biblical scholarship known as Higher Criticism influenced Evans. This thought attempted to treat sacred writings as human and historical documents and she devoted herself to translating its findings for the English public. She published her translation of Strauss' Life of Jesus in 1846 and her translation of Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach's Essence of Christianity in 1854 (Encyclopedia of World Biography, 1998)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of patient identification in hospital which seems as inoculate as the solution. Patient identification is based on the assumption that whatever information the patient or family accompanying the patient is correct and true. On the other hand, another assumption held is that hospital record-keeping is accurate and infallible. The paper further discusses how falsified information provided by patient or family to conceal his/her identity may just be as widespread as clerical errors. With the computerization of medical records, errors may be minimized and with the relative ease of cross-validating identity utilizing electronic databases (should the need arise, but otherwise a breach of patient confidentiality), falsified data can be detected. However, the factor of human clerical error is still a significant possibility. This becomes a serious matter when medical and surgical interventions come into play.

Abstract
This paper explains that, while the Metropolitan General Insurance Co. is committed to a "decentralized operating structure" in its branches, this organizational structure is not replicated in its Oshawa branch, which contributes to its under-performance. The author points out that the problem of duplication is evident on the organizational chart of the Oshawa branch, where each of the product lines has its own clerical staff in addition to the management and administration staff that also has its own clerical staff. The paper stresses that a boundary-less organization model, instead of the present inflexible, mechanistic organization, is more suited to the decentralized environment dependent upon independent agents and brokers.

From the Paper
"It may be argued that the organizational design that would be most successful in this environment is one that mirror Metropolitan's decentralized model on a local scale. One of the common themes of the cited branch senior staff meeting is blaming the brokers and the assertion that supporting them is "not my job". This is most evident in Tompkins complaints that the brokers requests are preventing her from being able to "move some paper" and Hood's complaint that he does not want the added work of determining who should be doing what tasks."

Abstract
This paper demonstrates how general consensus derived from a literature review indicates that the role of the assistant principals should move beyond its traditional clerical and disciplinary heritage to evolve to instructional leaders that deal with curriculum development, teacher and instructional effectiveness, clinical supervision, staff development and teacher evaluation. It uncovers research that tries to reconcile why the role change that practically everyone seems to want to happen hasn't been that quick to occur. It looks at how as these reasons are better identified and understood, perhaps the twenty first century will see a positive transformation in the role of the assistant principal.

From the Paper
"Many management experts and educators consider instructional leadership by assistant principals as necessary to achieve school reform, improve the job satisfaction of assistance principals, and to equip them with the skills necessary to advance to the principal level. However, literature review and historical case studies show that the assistant principal's role transition has been slow and insignificant. This study will provide current data specific to a geographic region to assess how well assistant principals are really doing in executing instructional leadership."

Abstract
The proposed study describes the actual number of priests who have committed sexual crimes, reconsiders the Catholic Church's mandatory celibacy policy for priests, proves that clergy members who vow celibacy are no more likely than those who do not vow celibacy to commit acts of sexual deviation and evaluates if the Church's clerical celibacy requirement, causes sexual deviance. The meta-research analyzes the results of various surveys, sexual program evaluations, case studies, research papers and historical sources to present a thorough argument for and against the connection between sexual deviances and celibacy.

From the Paper
"Celibacy has been a part of the Catholic Church since the fourth century. The Church remains loyal to this policy today, holding that celibacy allows priests to be more independent and available. Celibacy is also based on the idea that priests should live out the same witness as their brothers in monastic life. However, recent scandals involving priests and sexual misconduct have put pressure on the Church to reconsider its policy of mandatory celibacy. Every time a new sexual deviance case is brought against a clergyman, the issue of celibacy rears its head. Many people believe that if priests were allowed to marry, there would be less of a problem with deviant behavior."
