Abstract
This paper defines organizational socialization as the process through which individuals are transformed from outsiders to participating, effective members of organizations. While organizational change is defined more simply as either down-sizing or reengineering within the corporation, which both constitute the same radical corporate transformation within a business or corporation. The writer of this paper contends that the success of today's organization depends on unleashing and maximizing the talents of its workforce. The overall purpose of both occupational socialization and organization change is to help managers and supervisors achieve better results by identifying when and how to be participative. It is based on the premises that participative management and leadership practices are essential to building commitment. This paper details the various scenarios which require businesses to make drastic cutbacks or structural changes in the set up of the company as well as the reactions from both management and the workforce. Some of the more positive reasons for a company to change are in a shift of how to do business, manage complexity as well as the ability to transcend existing inertia and become more effectively competitive. Some of the more negative effects of change are that it can distract from the basic company goal, changing just to increase team spirit. The writer of this paper discusses several models in organizational socialization methods, including the Schein method which dictates that socialization to higher levels of management includes socialization to more central roles and influence within the organization.

From the Paper
"Some formal socialization techniques include orientation programs, new employee training, and employee handbooks and for on going socialization, job rotation. On the other hand informal socialization may include on-the-job training from a supervisor or coworkers, word of mouth and upending or transformational experiences. One of the better known organizational socialization models is Schein's which states that socialization to higher level of management includes socialization to more central roles and influence in the organization. One informal method of doing this is through personal mentoring. The Schein method describes that some of psychosocial functions of mentoring include role modeling, acceptance and confirmation and friendships."

From the Paper
"Ergonomics.org, a non-profit group set upon providing information and resources, defines just exactly what the study of ergonomics is. This group states that "The term 'ergonomics' is derived from two Greek words: 'ergon,' meaning work and 'nomoi,' meaning natural laws. Ergonomists study human capabilities in relationship to work demands" ("Posture, movement, and ergonomics," 2005). Those concerned with occupational ergonomics focus upon the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) from occurring in the workplace. In recent years, with work-related injuries becoming such a costly and common predicament around the world, such groups have come to the forefront of occupational awareness, attempting to find solutions to the problem either as a service or for monetary gain. This paper will look at some of the issues involved with occupational ergonomics, including its importance in today's work environment, safety issues that are involved, and what benefits there are for companies."

From the Paper
Universally, social mobility data shows that a person's social opportunity for mobility differ according to (a) parental socio economic status and (b) gender. Each can be affected by additional factors, such as racial differences in many societies. The key variables can be found in the social structure and degree of stratification in industrialized societies, societies with economies sufficiently advanced so that the distribution of wealth is more changeable than is common in developing societies. Emerging nations are those poised to shift from underdeveloped to developed status in the taxonomy used to identify the degree of economic and political development in the world system. Development involves more than attaining a level of economic development for both economists and political scientists, then, for each also recognizes the importance of achieving a certain social and political level in order to marshal the forces necessary to create and sustain a market economy. Organski (1990) notes that most of the literature on the..."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how, in the article "Theories of Occupational Segregation by Sex: An Overview", author Richard Anker looks at how severe occupational segregation is when it comes to the sex of the individual. It looks at how Anker discusses many different options for why women are not treated the same way as men when it comes to working and what kinds of jobs that they can be accepted for. In addition, the paper discusses how Anker points out that women are still not comparably paid, even when they have the same employer and the same job description as a man.
From the Paper
"One of the most significant issues with this article, however, is how in-depth Anker (1997) gets. Instead of simply glossing over the issue and saying that there is occupational segregation based on sex because employers do not think that women and men can do the same kind of work, Anker (1997) addresses the many issues that surround it, such as the absenteeism that women often display. This absenteeism is seen for many reasons, including increased family responsibilities (Anker, 1997). These family responsibilities are just a part of life for most women today, as they are expected to handle everything at home and still work as well. It is no surprise that these women sometimes miss work or are late for work. "

Abstract
The writer of this informative paper defines and explains the concerns and goals of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) which is applicable to all employers and their employees in the U.S. as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. This paper analyzes the Federal OSHA standards which are categorized into four main groups comprised of general industry, construction, maritime and agriculture. This paper examines those individuals and industries which are exempt from OSHA's requirements and regulations including self-employed individuals and farms which employ only family members of the actual owner. This paper details the various conditions employers must adhere to when complying with OSHA's standards and regulations. The writer contends that the adherence to the standards may incorporate ensuring that employees are supplied with the necessary safeguards and tools to guarantee their personal safety and health. This paper also delves into the legal rights of both the employer and employee in matters pertaining to OSHA.
From the Paper
"The Federal OSHA standards are categorized into four major groups such as general industry, construction, maritime and agriculture while some standards are particular to just one category others are applicable across industries. The regulation necessitates the employer to grant the employee access to any medical records the employer maintains with regard to that employee, incorporating any records about the exposure of employees to toxic substances. The standard of personal protective equipment requires the employers to extend the employees with personal equipment devised to safeguard them against some hazards. The equipment can extend from safeguarded helmets to avoid head injuries in construction and cargo transportation work, to protect the eyes, safeguard the hearing capabilities etc. The California Legislature enacted the California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973 in order to ensure the workers safe and healthy working environment for all Californian working men and women."
