Ideally, employee wellbeing ought to enhance workers engagement. Workers engagement possibly relate to some factors including leadership. Evidence exist that work enrichment is required among the employee studied while work environment in terms of work condition, corporate culture, and positive relationship with colleagues as well as work itself influence job satisfaction and leads to employee engagement. were related to job autonomy and feedback. Employee with large amount of autonomy may willingly invest efforts and persist in the face of obstacles which are strong indicator of engagement. Also, high performing leadership finds intolerable bulling, but promotes job autonomy, performance management, and employee assistance programmes and the institutions cannot boast of one. Various recommendations including the institution promotion and encouragement of employee assistance programme were given. Work itself, leadership, work environment, and opportunity for growth were strategic directions for improvement. Field survey covering 2017-2018, judgment sampling with some degree of randomness was applied. Chats, Likart 4-scale were used in analysis interpretation. Tertiary and high schools in Port Harcourt were covered. The style is simple to allow for wider readership.","PeriodicalId":342163,"journal":{"name":"Political Institutions: Bureaucracies & Public Administration eJournal","volume":"20 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113942493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I investigate this question by evaluating UC Berkeley’s Fall Program for Freshmen (FPF), a fall-semester program for undergraduates admitted for the following spring semester. During the fall semester, FPF participants take introductory courses and receive advising at a separate campus blocks away from UC Berkeley, while living and socializing with regular UC Berkeley students; in the spring semester, FPF participants then matriculate to the main campus. I analyze UC Berkeley admissions and registrar data and show that FPF participants are similar to fall-semester matriculants in their admission characteristics and predicted graduation rates. However, across a variety of treatment effect models, I estimate that FPF participants have a 3-4 percentage-point increase in their four- and six-year graduation rates compared to fall-semester matriculants. FPF participants with below-median high school GPAs and SAT scores have larger increases in their likelihood to graduate. Estimates adjusted for unobservable selection bias (Oster, 2017) are similar in magnitude and direction to my main estimates.","PeriodicalId":342163,"journal":{"name":"Political Institutions: Bureaucracies & Public Administration eJournal","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128016357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the ninth in a succession of studies of the impact of continuing patent applications on USPTO's performance. The data and analyses is set forth in three parts — the number, types, and disposition of patent applications being examined by the USPTO (the USPTO’s “input”); the number of applications allowed and patents issued by the USPTO (the USPTO’s “output”); and the number of pending applications and the average pendency for an application (the “difference” or commonly referred to as the USPTO’s “backlog”). \u0000Highlights of this update include the fact that Application Allowance Rates corrected for Refiled Continuing Applications have continued to increase, reaching 96% in FY 2017, approaching the record 99% in FY 2001. Consistent with the increase in Application Allowance Rates, the number of Applications Allowed (340,388) and Patents Issued (316,973) rose to record levels. The number of Abandoned Applications that were Refiled continued to increase to 197,581, double those that were Not Refiled. The number of Applications Allowed (340,388) was nearly three and one-half times the number of Applications Abandoned Without Refiling (98,991). UPR Application Backlogs declined slightly as a consequence of the increase in Application Allowances.","PeriodicalId":342163,"journal":{"name":"Political Institutions: Bureaucracies & Public Administration eJournal","volume":"149 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116307908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Japanese Supreme Court has never expressly mentioned the principle itself in the opinion of the court except as an obita dictum. There are, however, several judgments that may be understood as the application of the PP. \u0000 \u0000This essay questions whether the principle functions “outside” or “inside” of administrative discretion and whether it performs necessity control or balancing control. It also stands upon the premise that administrative discretion takes place in the process of the application of the law in the narrower sense, distinguished from the interpretation of law and from bare fact-finding, both of which are reserved for the judiciary. \u0000 \u0000Regarding necessity control, the purpose-means construction as the core of the PP is self-evident. As for balancing control, the feature of the PP is that a particular interest is placed on one side of the scale and compared with various other interests. The Supreme Court is rather reluctant to perform such types of dichotomic balancing, but does so in certain cases. \u0000 \u0000Whether such balancing is appropriate depends upon a determination of the desirable degree of judicial review, as well as an understanding of the legal structure in the relevant field. While such dichotomic balancing will provide an effective tool for judicial control, it also presents the risk of making diverse interest structures among various stakeholders invisible.","PeriodicalId":342163,"journal":{"name":"Political Institutions: Bureaucracies & Public Administration eJournal","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124901809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
