what do you think is the role of money as a determinant of a person s satisfaction at work and with life in general should organizations worry about this issue explain

You Manage It! 1: Global Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness. Well, on Second Thought . . .

If money can’t buy you love, can it still buy you happiness? A now-famous 1974 study seemed to indicate that the answer was no. U.S. economist Richard Easterlin, then at the University of Pennsylvania, studied comparative data on moderately wealthy and very wealthy countries and concluded that although rich people are happier than poorer people, rich countries are not happier than poorer ones, and they do not grow happier as they grow increasingly rich. The explanation for this apparent paradox, said Easterlin, was that only relative income—your income compared to that of your peers and neighbors—matters to happiness, not absolute income.

Now, however, two Wharton professors, Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers, say that the Easterlin paradox, as it has come to be called, does not exist. Based on new research, they say that the truth isn’t paradoxical at all, but is in fact very simple: “1. Rich people are happier than poor people. 2. Richer countries are happier than poorer countries. 3. As countries get richer, they tend to get happier.”

Pointing out that Easterlin had little data to work with 35 years ago, Stevenson and Wolfers draw their conclusions from data about more countries, including poor ones, over longer periods of time. Public opinion surveys and other studies show that life satisfaction is highest in richer countries. In the United States, for instance, 9 in 10 Gallup Survey respondents in households making more than $250,000 a year called themselves “very happy,” compared to only 4 in 10 with incomes below $30,000. “On balance,” Stevenson and Wolfers conclude, “GDP and happiness have tended to move together.” The bottom line, they say, is that absolute income matters.

What do these new findings mean in practice? A pair of British economists suggest that government’s policy goals should focus less on growing GDP and more on improving measures that directly affect happiness.

Easterlin would probably agree. He now concedes that people in wealthy countries do report more happiness than those in poorer countries. But he still doubts that money alone is the reason. Comparing Denmark and Zimbabwe, for instance, he says, “The Danes have social welfare policies directed toward some of the most salient concerns of families—their health, care for the aged, child care. If you ask why the Danes are happier, an alternative hypothesis is they have a set of public policies that deal more immediately with people’s fundamental concerns.”

And the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan has, in fact, replaced GDP with a measure it calls “gross national happiness.”

Critical Thinking Questions

  1. 10-12. What do you think is the role of money as a determinant of a person’s satisfaction at work and with life in general? Should organizations worry about this issue? Explain.
  2. 10-13. As discussed in this chapter, firms vary widely on the extent to which they emphasize money as an incentive. Do you think an emphasis on financial incentives is good or bad? Explain.
  3. 10-14. For the past 90 years or so, job evaluation as a compensation tool has been designed to assess the value of each job rather than to evaluate the person doing the job, prompting a relatively flat pay schedule for all incumbents in a particular position. Some HR experts believe that the emerging trend is for pay inequality to become “normal.” Employers are using variable pay to lavish financial resources on their most prized employees, creating a kind of corporate star system. “How do you communicate to a workforce that isn’t created equally? How do you treat a workforce in which everyone has a different deal?” asks Jay Schuster of Los Angeles–based compensation consultants Schuster-Zingheim & Associates, Inc. If you were asked these questions, how would you answer them? Given the issues just discussed in this case study, what effect do you think this trend toward greater pay inequality will have on employees’ satisfaction with their pay, their job, and life in general? Explain.

which ceo jobs or cook do you think developed and executed the most effective strategic plan what evidence can you find to support your opinion 1

Steve Jobs was a strong, charismatic leader who co-founded Apple and is credited with much of the success of the company. Some believe that Tim Cook, who became CEO in 2011, embraces a more collaborative leadership style. Do research to compare and contrast the leadership styles of the two CEOs. (You may wish to view the 2013 movie JOBS, which portrays the story of Steve Jobs’ ascension from college dropout to Apple CEO.) Which CEO—Jobs or Cook—do you think developed and executed the most effective strategic plan? What evidence can you find to support your opinion?

2 page english essay

Your initial task will be to engage in reflection about the ways in which your personal history and experiences have created and shaped some of your most important values. You may choose to focus on a single experience or analyze a collection of experiences. From there, you will construct a critical narrative that informs your audience about a value that is important to you and demonstratesan intricate understanding of how your personal history or experiences contributed to its creation and evolution.

Example Research Issue: If you value loyalty, you could define what it means to be loyal in you own words and ask why you define loyalty in that way. Answering this question may involve reflecting on specific experiences, relationships, personal belongings, or something you read that led you to define “loyalty” the way you do. Likewise, you could also investigate your feelings about loyalty, working to identify and describe, in detail, experiences that led you to view loyalty in specific ways.

Learning Goals: The purpose of this assignment is to engage in critical thinking and writing about how external experiences mediate, to a certain extent, how you see the world. The goal is to dig deep in your analysis of your personal value to gain a greater understanding of both the value and your relationship to it. Most importantly, you will learn to avoid surface-level observations and commit yourself to an in-depth process of reflection and investigation that considers the relevance of your personal experiences, relationships, belongings, and activities. Such a commitment will help you construct an informative narrativethat provides your reader with a glimpse of how your past has contributed to the formation of your values and how your values have contributed to who you are. Such an understanding of yourself will be necessary as we progress through this semester and turn our attention to the ways external and material factors influence what communities value.

Requirements: A successful essay will:

  • Identify a personal value of importance to you
  • Reflect on that value, using specific details to demonstrate how your personal history contributed to the creation and/or evolution of this value
  • Be organized as a personal narrative anchored to a generative claim or line of inquiry
  • Cite all sources in MLA style
  • Be two full pages (not included any Works Cited pages) in length and carefully edited
