Abstract
There was a time in America when virtually all workers learned their craft or skilled positions on the job. As the manufacturing sector expanded, on-the-job training was often replaced by seminars and other job-enhancement techniques at off-site locations. Those were - attended by supervisors, who then brought back newly learned techniques to the manufacturer and then taught them to their section's employees. On-the-job training, however, is more important now than ever before, for a variety of reasons, which are explored in this paper.

Abstract
The paper provides a discussion of the Porter and Lawler model of job performance and satisfaction in terms of this writer's personal work experience. The writer provides an example of how each element in the model (abilities, skills, knowledge, effort, role perceptions, and job satisfaction) affected his job performance or work behavior, using an experience in a university library.

From the Paper
"The Porter and Lawler model of job satisfaction (Porter and Lawler) draws upon theories of expectancy, suggesting that workers become motivated in relation to their beliefs or expectations regarding perceived rewards. As Lawler notes, "it shows the relationship that exists between expectancy, instrumentality, and importance attitudes and extrinsic motivation" (Lawler 229). In developing a workplace strategy, people build almost synaptic linkages between their performance and rewards, like a Pavlovian dog. This perception of expectancy, how attractive each reward is, and how important it is to obtain a reward can be quite individualistic."

Abstract
This paper concerns the hazards encountered in the workplace. In this article, the writer uses a specific job for analysis, in this case being a cook at McDonald's. The writer shows the various steps the cook must follow to produce the needed hamburgers and the hazards that are involved in the job. Further, the writer points out possible ways to mitigate those hazards with administrative, design and policy requirements for each store.

From the Paper
"This job description is based on the work of a younger cousin who has a weekend job at McDonald's cooking hamburgers. The writer observed him performing this job for an hour or so and asked questions as to the process, what it normally entails, some of the variations, and some of the perceived hazards that might be part of the job. From this, the following analysis was written and the risks assessed. This job involves standing at the flat grill, an expanse of hot metal on which hamburgers are placed in groups of up to 15 at a time in rows of five (which might vary in other stores, since the grills are not all the same size)."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the quality of work life as reported by African-Americans to be "plagued by inequality and lack of opportunity or stability" and examines the relationships that exist between familial influences, job market prospects and the environment. This paper intends to evaluate the impacts family rearing and environmental influence have on African-Americans' perceived job market opportunities and self reported quality of work life.

From the Paper
"Many African Americans report their work life includes less than optimal working conditions, meager earnings, little autonomy and much instability which often results in decreased job satisfaction and perceived job opportunities (Riley, 2005). Still other research related to social psychology suggests "quality of work life may have pervasive consequences on one's sense of worth and sense of control" and that perceived job satisfaction can "spillover and influence behaviors in other spheres of life" (Riley, 1) Hence social psychological outcomes are affected by job related perceptions and self evaluation as well as general life satisfaction (Riley, 1).
The purpose of this research proposal is an evaluation of the impacts family rearing and environmental influence have on African American's perceived job market opportunities and self reported quality of work life. As an aside the researcher will also evaluate whether familial and environmental factors impact African American's perceived self esteem and subsequent success on the job and at home. To accomplish this the researcher will evaluate the following questions: (1) what if any familial influences determine job satisfaction and employment opportunities, (2) what if any environmental influences are likely to contribute to job status and perceived quality of work life, (3) whether other factors contribute to job status and self reported measures of self worth and self esteem and whether (4) self esteem directly or indirectly influences job status, environment or familial relationships among African American adults.
