Sponsored by MidWestOne Bank, this is the latest edition of the CBJ's new podcast feature with Nate Kaeding and notable Iowa business and cultural leaders, available first to CBJ members. Listen to this episode below, and subscribe on Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and SoundCloud.
Suresh Gunasekaran is the chief executive officer of University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, a role that has operational, strategic and financial oversight of the regional medical system which includes the UI Stead Family Children's Hospital. He's also the associate vice president for University of Iowa Health Care and works closely with UI Health Care leaders to advance the organization's three-part mission of biomedical research, medical education and training, and patient care.
No stranger to guiding big, complicated organizations through periods of growth, Suresh's leadership skills were put to the test recently as the pandemic changed or challenged just about every norm in the health care industry.
I caught up with Suresh to talk about the path to his position and his leadership journey through unprecedented times.
I learned a lot and I think you will, too.
Suresh, what did you learn about yourself in the past year? What were some of the big learnings you can look back on?
Probably the first thing I'd say is gratitude. It does take a village and it wasn't just the people at the university or the people at the hospital – I mean, it took the whole community to get through this. The story of this pandemic is, it affected everyone and obviously effected our healthcare workforce and everyone that I work with. It affected them. Not just as doctors or nurses or housekeepers or administrators – it affected them as citizens who have spouses and kids and fears and hopes.
We spent a lot of time dealing with the fear. We really didn't know what was going on. I think that's probably the longest period of professional uncertainty that I've lived with.
The other piece is never underestimate the team. I honestly think the sky would have fallen if we weren't an amazing nation, [if] we weren't an amazing state. We are an amazing community here in the Corridor. We really did rally and what we did, and continue to do, is what's making a difference.
If you were to poll your organization's 13,000+ employees and ask what were your best leadership qualities over the past year, what would you hope they would say?
That's a good question. I would hope that our team would say that Suresh committed to the right things and is committed to being honest. We tried as much as possible to make every [best] decision throughout the pandemic … and coming out of the pandemic. How do we do right by our patients? How do we do right by our colleagues? How do we do right by our partners that this should be a safe space in the healthcare industry to just go ahead and do things because it's the right thing to do?
The pandemic really put some stark choices against it. Like any leader, I make a lot of mistakes and that happens sometimes when you don't have perfect data and you don't execute as well as you want.
I would hope our team thinks that I'm pretty honest about it – that I own it. And hopefully by me doing that, we all can own it. We know at UI healthcare, there are a lot of things we could do better. To have a healthy attitude that we're really good today but we could be better – that's a cool challenge when you come into work.

Wildcat of the Week #20 is Po-Hi Senior Charlie Poet
Ponca City Public Schools - April 10, 2022 11:35 am
The Heather Cannon Wildcat of the Week #20 for the 2021-2022 school year was presented to Po-Hi senior Charlie Poet.
Superintendent Shelley Arrott said, "Charlie is everything anyone could possibly want in a young man. He is a very active Wildcat who participates in Wildcat golf, serves as secretary of the Po-Hi Student Council and is a member of the National Honor Society. Charlie also has a busy course schedule, including AP classes and concurrent enrollment through NOC at the University Center. Academically, he is one of the top students of the 2021-2022 senior class. In addition to his school activities, he is highly involved with the Evans Theatre Program and has such a theatrical flair that he is often one of the lead roles in any production through the program."
"Charlie is highly involved and focused on his studies but it goes beyond that … he undoubtedly has exemplary character. He has the kindest heart and is respectful and encouraging to everyone, always has a positive attitude, is willing to accomplish any goal, is well-spoken and is a dedicated teammate. In fact, his teachers all agree he is not only an exceptional student but an exceptional human. Ms. Easley said she has loved seeing Charlie grow from a timid, uncertain freshman into the confident, outgoing, awesome leader he is today. Coach Alexander believes that Charlie's work ethic, both in the classroom and on the course, is what makes Po-Hi golf better, and that his leadership and dedication to his team filters from the top down. Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Parr and Mr. Taylor's pride radiated when they shared Charlie's great characteristics of being a Wildcat. All of his teachers have enjoyed getting to know him and are thrilled to have him in class."
"Charlie, I have been waiting for your name to come from Team Radio as the Wildcat of the Week and I was thrilled to see it in my inbox this week! However, as I read what the person who nominated you said about you, it really touched me. Your nominator said they have known you for six years and they honestly do not think they have ever seen you do something that wasn't nice. As I thought about that statement, your PCPS family knows that is an accurate affirmation! Charlie, we all fall short at times but your integrity is top notch! You do the right thing, even when no one is looking, and all PCPS family members agree this describes you perfectly. I am so proud that little Wildcat eyes have you to look to as a role model! Not only are you an exemplary role model for our little Wildcats, but you are a great role model for your peers and adults."
"You are so involved in not only your own activities, but I see you at many events cheering on and supporting your fellow Wildcats. When I think of you, I think of you as 'Mr. Po-Hi' because you are involved in everything and relate well with everyone! Every time I interact with you or I see you interact with others, you are confident, well-spoken and look people in the eye when you talk to them … leadership exudes when you interact with others. You are that student who is a Wildcat to the core and exemplifies what it means to be a Wildcat EVEN when no one is watching!"
"I know in the fall you are going to attend Oklahoma State University and it is your goal to be an industrial engineer. You will be just as dedicated of a Cowboy as you are a Wildcat. OSU is lucky to have you as a future student, and Cowboy Pride will beam upon you as your strong leadership continues to grow! Charlie, you will have great success as an industrial engineer, not only because of your knowledge and skills, but your ability to interact and work well with others. Your honorable character reflects positively on your family, your school and your community, and we are all so very proud of you. You have a great future ahead of you but know this … Po-Hi is a better place because Charlie Poet has been here!"
The "Wildcat of the Week" Award is sponsored by Heather Cannon Honda. The award is for a deserving high school student who follows the characteristics of the Wildcat Way which are Work Ethic, Improve, Leadership, Discipline, Compete, Attitude, and Teamwork. These characteristics may be exhibited in any setting and is open to all Ponca City High School students.
Several Ponca City patrons are involved in making the "Wildcat of the Week" a reality. These partners include: Tina Christian, Senator Bill Coleman – TEAM Radio, Heather Cannon – Heather Cannon Honda, Danny's BBQ Head Quarters, and Tyndall Dentistry.
Each week a new "Wildcat of the Week" will be selected from the nominations of TEAM Radio listeners and viewers. Winners receive a free BBQ sandwich meal from Danny's BBQ Head Quarters and a T-shirt from Boss Custom Tees. PCPS will make the presentation weekly at Po-Hi. If you know an outstanding student at Po-Hi who is living the Wildcat Way, please use the form in one of these links https://www.poncacitynow.com//32875-2/, or visit www.PoncaCityNow.com, www.PoHiSports.com, or www.pcps.us.

Bo Nix rallies No. 16 Auburn over No. 11 Oregon
Auburn true freshman quarterback Bo Nix threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Seth Williams with 9 seconds remaining and the 16th-ranked Tigers opened the season with a 27-21 comeback win over No. 11 Oregon on Saturday night.
Nix barely converted a fourth-and-3 at midfield on the final drive when he tucked and ran. Only the nose of the ball was past the chain when officials measured. Then on third-and-10 from the Oregon 39 with no timeouts, Nix hit Williams for 13 yards, and then found him again on the next play to put Auburn ahead for the first time.
The Tigers, who trailed 21-6 late in the third quarter, delivered another opening-weekend blow to the Pac-12. They beat the Pac-12's highest-ranked team in a season opener for the second year in a row — No. 6 Washington lost to them 21-16 in Atlanta last year.
Nix finished 13-of-31 passing for 177 yards and two touchdowns, and also ran seven times for 42 yards. JaTarvious Whitlow ran 24 times for 110 yards for the Tigers.
Justin Herbert, who bypassed early entry in the NFL draft to return to Oregon, was 28-of-37 passing for 242 yards with a touchdown.

Emission Effects of Germany's Vehicle Taxation: Recent Empirical Evidence
In 2021, Germany adjusted its vehicle taxation scheme, resulting in a disproportionate increase in the tax burden for vehicles with high carbon emission intensity. This article presents empirical evidence on the impact of Germany's vehicle taxation and its reforms on automobile emissions. To this end, we refer to a series of recent studies by Klier and Linn (2015), Malina (2016), Alberini and Horvath (2021), and Flintz, Frondel, and Horvath (2022) on the reforms of Germany's motor vehicle taxation since 2009, when an emissions-differentiated vehicle tax scheme came into force. The empirical results unanimously indicate that Germany's vehicle taxation does not have the steering effect that is needed to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Catalan art
You can help expand this article with text translated from the corresponding article in Catalan. (December 2018) Click [show] for important translation instructions.
The Catalan art is the artistic production made in what is now Catalonia along the time. It has a parallel evolution to the rest of European art, following in a diverse way the multiple tendencies that have taken place in the context of the history of Western art. Throughout history, Catalonia has seen diverse cultures and civilizations that contributed their concept of art and have left their legacy. Each historical period has specific and definable characteristics, common to other lands and cultures, or unique and differentiated, which evolved over time.
Ancient and Medieval[edit]
Catalan art is the result of the diverse social and cultural amalgam brought about by the diverse peoples that inhabited its territory: the first prehistoric settlers were succeeded by various peoples, such as Iberians who arrived during the Bronze and Iron Ages; these later convisquered with the first colonizers from the Mediterranean civilizations, the Greeks; then the Romans arrived, who disseminated their art and architecture throughout the territory. After its fall, Catalonia was part of the Visigothic kingdom, and later it received the Islamic occupation, which architecture is today visible in places of the half south of the territory. The Middle Ages will be the beginning of Catalan culture as a defined entity, with its own language, descent of Latin, and the formation of the Principality of Catalonia. It was a time of splendor for Catalan art, and the Romanesque and the Gothic will be very fruitful periods for the artistic development of the Principality.
Early Modern[edit]
During the early modern age, with Spain taking control of Catalonia and the succession of various economic crises, Catalan art declined, and Renaissance and Baroque styles were not particularly noteworthy in the history of Catalan art. Nevertheless, there were some centres of artistic importance such as the Carthusian monastery of Scala Dei which employed both talented monks as well as lay friars such as friar Lluís Pascal, friar Ramón Berenguer and Joaquim Juncosa. The later became one of the most famous painters of Catalan Baroque. Juncosa painted several portraits and frescoes at the monastery, unfortunately all of them were lost in the following events.[1]
Since the nineteenth century, with the economic and cultural revitalization, the art flourished again; and Modernisme (related to European Art Nouveau) became one of the most splendid periods of Catalan art, given to the world many important figures such as Antoni Gaudí, Lluís Domènech i Muntaner or Ramon Casas, among others. The twentieth century brought the updating of the different styles produced by Catalan artists, which connect with international trends, offering even leading figures worldwide such as Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Antoni Tàpies, Albert Ràfols-Casamada, Joaquim Chancho and Yago Hortal.

Great disappointment pervaded the Ave Maria University campus when we learned that the 2021 March for Life was cancelled due to COVID. Since then, and as the date of this year's March approached, more and more registrations were coming in. The interest far exceeded our expectations. We were aiming for about one hundred and fifty, but in the end we ended up with a group of more than two hundred.
As vice president of the "Ave for Life" student group and with my fellow board members, we wanted to show the nation and especially the Supreme Court justices that young Americans want to end the scourge of abortion. We are aware that a third of our generation has fallen victim to the curettes of abortionists.
Last Wednesday, aboard four buses, we began the long journey to our nation's capital. Twenty-one hours later, tired but in high spirits, we arrived just in time to celebrate the Vigil for Life in the Basilica of the National Shrine. Prayer is an essential part of pro-life work.
We were joyfully welcomed and hosted by the parish and school of St. Mary. John The Beloved in Arlington, Virginia. The men slept on the gym floor and the women in the cafeteria. And although the floors were hard and the bathrooms limited, no one cared. We all knew it was a pilgrimage, not a vacation trip, and pilgrims do not expect first-class accommodation. The community of St. Louis, Mo. St. John's sacrificed for us to allow us to march through life and we, in turn, accepted these small sacrifices and offered them for the unborn.
Friday, January 21, was the day of the March. It dawned cold and clear. And when I say "cold", I mean it was -12 degrees C. However, that in no way dampened our spirits. We all had our warmest clothes on. Most of us put on everything we brought. Despite the freezing conditions, we were not allowed to enter most restaurants and hotels to warm up due to vaccination mandates. Nevertheless, and even as our toes began to go numb, we were all smiling as we made our way to the rally.
I think I speak for everyone when I say that I was surprised by the level of participation. There must have been more than 100,000 protestors in attendance. It was the largest and friendliest crowd I have ever been a part of in my entire life. It was moving to think that we were all there for one purpose: to give a voice to the voiceless.
We were united in our commitment to end the slaughter of innocents that has taken place since 1973. Nearly 64 million abortions!!! The ranks of young Americans have dwindled, opening up a huge hole in the life of our country. We, the survivors, have much to say against this ongoing tragedy that has impoverished us in various ways.
Standing in front of the Supreme Court at the end of the March, we all prayed that this would be the last National March for Life in our nation's capital. But we are well aware that, although Roe v. Wade may finally be overturned in a few months, the battle will continue at the state level.
As long as a child's life is sacrificed for abortion, my fellow students and I will continue to stand up for those who cannot fend for themselves.

Rare Thursday primary in the Volunteer State
Tennesseans are headed to the polls today and many in the Nashville area will be voting in new districts thanks to new maps.
District 5, where the entire Nashville metropolitan area used to be housed, will now likely go to Republicans. The area was split into three different districts that watered down Democratic control of that part of the state.
Where control of state legislatures is up for grabs: Part 4
The final part of Reya Kumar's series looking at states where legislative control is up for grabs features two states where Democratic strongholds could fold this fall.
In Colorado, Democrats have had trifecta control for 10 of the last 20 years, while Republicans have not controlled all three branches since 2004. Still, Republicans have a chance to flip at least one state legislative chamber during the midterms.
And in Maine, the Democratic majorities in both houses and the governor's seat are considered some of the most vulnerable to Republican gains this year.

Civic education bridges ideological divide for two justices
Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Amy Coney Barrett came together last week to chat about something they agree on: passion for civic education and civic duty.
The women talked about everything from family and ethics to bridging polarization in America and within the Supreme Court. Both justices divulged the regard and admiration they hold for one another, revealing that all the justices are close friends.
"I think finding ways to see people for who they are and not just for the opinions they hold helps bridge gaps and bridge differences," said Coney Barrett.
Nichelle Nichols, Lt. Uhura on 'Star Trek,' dies at 89
Trailblazing actress Nichelle Nichols, best known for her role as Star Trek's Lt. Uhura, died at 89. Nichols was a role model for many, including some NASA scientists.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson remembered Nichols in a statement:
"Nichelle Nichols was a trailblazing actress, advocate and dear friend to NASA. At a time when Black women were seldom seen on screen, Nichelle's portrayal as Nyota Uhura on Star Trek held a mirror up to America that strengthened civil rights," said Administrator Bill Nelson. "Nichelle's advocacy transcended television and transformed NASA. After Apollo 11, Nichelle made it her mission to inspire women and people of color to join this agency, change the face of STEM and explore the cosmos. Nichelle's mission is NASA's mission. Today, as we work to send the first woman and first person of color to the Moon under Artemis, NASA is guided by the legacy of Nichelle Nichols."

Wrenshall will entertain Carlton site
September 15, 2023
In the ongoing back-and-forth between school boards considering a merger between districts, the Wrenshall contingent unanimously agreed Monday to consider the South Terrace site in Carlton as a proposed one-site option with its neighboring district.
But, the Wrenshall board's latest formal letter opened the door for a tour of all three school buildings between the two communities. Previously, Carlton had agreed to reopen consolidation discussions provided the existing South Terrace was the only option for consideration.
"While we are open to one campus located at South Terrace, it would be...

An unusual snack many from Lancashire remember from their childhood is still loved by adults now.
Today, there is so much choice when it comes to treats ready to go in your cupboard or perfect for a kids school lunch box. And sometimes, all it takes is eating a classic snack to transport you back to your childhood.
For some generations, growing up meant food was made to go a long way and families had to get creative when it came to meal times. Some snacks may seem wholly unusual to the children of today, but for many of us, they were a staple part of growing up.

- The fascinating Blackpool farmhouse stuck in the 1950s after being abandoned decades ago
- Preston's lost indoor market that was a 'smelly eyesore but with a heart of gold'
Decades ago, many from Lancashire and beyond will remember enjoying everything from school cake to sugar butties and - a banana sandwich. Chopped finely or even mashed on two rounds of bread and butter, it is still considered a classic to many.
On our Facebook page, we shared an image of banana slices on bread with the caption, "An absolute classic from our childhood that we still enjoy today." And readers were quick to comment and share their memories.
Stephanie Wallace posted: "Bananas on toast. Lovely for breakfast x" Kathryn Moss posted: "Still love it!."
Vanessa Donnelly commented: "I still eat bananas on toast. A classic." Peter Maxwell said: "Food of the gods, don't bother with the sugar."
Wendy Bell posted: "Love it on toast smashed up." Louise Stanhope said: "Comfort food. Can't beat it."
Andrea Simmons commented: "Delicious!" David Gaddass said: "Butter and sugar needed takes me back to my childhood."
Denise Westwell said: "Love them." And Peter John Skrigin posted: " Ooowh forgotten about them."
Over the years, many have enjoyed different variations of the sandwich, adding other toppings like sugar, sauces and peanut butter. It may seem a bit out there to some, but it's not too dissimilar to toppings you'd have on a crepe or a pancake.
The peanut butter and banana sandwich has also been referred to as a favourite of Elvis Presley's. Nicknamed the Elvis Sandwich or simply The Elvis, a peanut butter and banana sandwich - or a peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich - is cooked on a pan or griddle and numerous recipes can be found in cookbooks and online, including one from Nigella.
Angela Haigh said: "Yes but so much better on brown bread." Derick Oldfield said: "With a drop of milk and a sprinkle of sugar as well."
Lorraine Santomieri-Kreckmann posted: "I always liked putting a bit of peanut butter on mine!!!" Catherine Crombie commented: "Add some plain crisps, perfect."
Dave G Thompson commented: "With salad cream." Christine Lang said: "Try with jam and crumbled flake on top. We loved this as children. Now grandchildren love them to as a treat."
Sandra Dempsey commented: "Best mashed with peanut butter and honey." Dawn Ellis Cameron said: "Gotta be mashed with a sprinkle of sugar."
Gabrielle Brady wrote: "Mashed with sugar on fresh sliced pan." Maureen Weiss wrote: "Butter on the bread and sprinkle with brown sugar yum yum xxx"
Mel Harvey wrote: "Mashed on toasted granary bread with a drizzle of honey. Nom nom nom." Judith Birchall commented: "Mashed, with a little milk and sugar. So yummy!!"
Geraldine Russell said: "Mashed on toast with sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon, grilled til brown and bubbly, heaven." And Bryan Higgins said: "Even better with two rashers of bacon on it."

But despite so many fond memories and love for the snack, others were not fans. Sue Nugent said: "Bleurgh absolutely not."

The internet is a wonderful place where cover songs emerge that no one ever thought would be created, let alone see the light of day. Today, that cover song arrives in the form of Thirty Seconds To Mars' frontman Jared Leto performing a piano-led rendition of Zedd's chart-topping hit, "Stay The Night."
Yes, you read that above paragraph right. Jared Leto recently contributed vocals to a stripped down rendition of "Stay The Night" and the audio from that event has been the talk of the music blogging world all afternoon. You can say what you will about how pompous or egotistical 30STM can appear, and for the most part I would probably agree, but here it's undeniable that Leto possesses a rare vocal gift. You can stream the cover below:
As far as we know, the internet has yet to take Leto's vocals from this recording and add them into the original version of "Stay The Night" alongside Paramore vocalist Hayley Williams, but then again this clip has only been available for a few hours. Give the anonymous wizards of the world a few days and I am confident we will see this recording manipulated in one or more ways.

The psychological contract is certainly an important aspect of the employment relationship as it invisibly binds the employer and the employee through a set of expectations. For the individual in an organisation, the psychological contract is mostly relevant as it directly affects the level of motivation, commitment and morale of that person. Moreover, a positive psychological contract helps to boost the productivity and performance of an employee.
Thus, to gain the commitment and loyalty of individual employees, it becomes essential that organisations put in place appropriate systems to foster the identification of employee expectations and ways to fulfill them. However, expectations are not easily identified, both on the employers and employees side. These often give rise to breaches on behalf of either one or both parties.
The maintaining of a positive psychological contract with all members of an organisation thus becomes a primary focus of the HR practitioner and HR practices play an important part in that if those are carefully linked to the psychological contract.
Definition of Psychological Contract
A psychological contract, in its broad sense, consists of a set of unwritten expectations that exist between each individual employee and their employer. The psychological contract consists of the "perceptions of both parties" to issues such as the employment relationship, the organisation and the individual, of mutual promises and obligations implied in that relationship between those two parties, that is, the employer and the employee.
Moreover, the essence of the psychological contract pertains to the fact that there constantly exists a plethora of unwritten expectations that forms part of the interaction between each member of an organisation and their employer. Thus, the psychological contract constitutes of a system made up of beliefs and which regroups all those actions that are expected from the employee and of the outcome that those employees expect from their employer in return.
The psychological contract often works in parallel with a written employment contract. It is however, different from the legal employment contract in the sense that the contract of employment outlines the terms and conditions of employment, remuneration arrangements and the basic rules governing the employment relationship. The psychological contract on the other hand, pertains to broad expectations regarding what each party is seeking from the relationship. It is not a written document but exists wholly within the parties heads.
Moreover, the ideal employment contract should be providing details with regards to the expectations of both the employer and the employee. However, this is not the case as the organisational environment is constantly changing which makes it almost impossible to be specific about all the working conditions right from the start of employment. It is therefore, left to the employee and the employer to form their own psychological contract. The psychological is implicit and dynamic as it develops as time goes by and experience is accumulated and as the employment conditions are altered or as employees start reconsidering their expectations.
Formulation of the Expectations
There are two main questions in the psychological contract which individuals must ask about the employment relationship and these are as follows:
- What can I reasonably expect from the organisation?
- What should I reasonably be expected to contribute in return?
Therefore the employment relationship should be understood by either party and the aspects of the employment relationship covered by the psychological contact will include, amongst others, some of those aspects of the expectations from the employee's point of view:
- How they are treated in terms of fairness, equity and consistency.
- Security of employment.
- Scope to demonstrate competence.
- Career expectation and the opportunity to develop skills.
- Involvement and influence.
- Trust in the management of the organisation to keep their promises.
From the employer's point of view, the psychological contract covers such attitudinal and behavioral aspects of the employment relationship as competence, effort, compliance, commitment and loyalty.
Changes to the Psychological Contract
The nature of the psychological contract is changing due to changes in the internal and external environment of businesses. Those changes can also be explained by a shift in paradigm from personnel management to human resource management. The previous or "old" psychological contract focuses more on imposed relationship using compliance, command and control while the new psychological contract`s core is mutual relationship which lays more emphasis on commitment, participation and involvement.
Moreover, the old psychological contract also focused on permanent employment relationships, on promotion, finite duties, the ability to meet job requirements, job security and the employees loyalty to the company and training provided by the organisation. The permanent employment relationship has evolved to focus more on variable employment relationship. Therefore, the talent of people are obtained and retained only when that is required.
With the evolution of the psychological contract the expectation for promotion has shifted to lateral career development, finite duties has been replaced by multiple roles, employees are also expected to add value rather than only meeting their job requirements. Employees moreover, expect to remain employable and they prefer to remain loyal to their own career rather than to the company. Employees also seek opportunities for self-learning rather than being sent for training by the organisation.
The emerging psychological contract is one which is short-term and situational. The parties involved do not depend as much as each other for growth and survival as it was the case before.
Development of Psychological Contract
The development of the psychological contract is linked to individual and organisational factors. The individual aspect includes experience and expectations about the employment relations, which might have been created before hiring, during the recruitment process, during the stage where the employees are socializing or from the experiences during employment. Other factors affecting the individual determinants are age, gender, level of education, union membership, the level of commitment to the job, job insecurity and need for greater employability, personality traits, the individual's ability to cope with changes or ideology.
The organisational factors affecting the development of the psychological contract include human resource policies and practices which can contribute to making certain promises or obligations on the part of the employer and expectations of employees.
A positive psychological contract is worth taking seriously because it is strongly linked to higher commitment to the organization, higher employee satisfaction and better employment relations. Again this reinforces the benefits of pursuing a set of progressive HRM practices.
The importance of a high-involvement climate and HRM practices such as the provision of opportunities for learning, training and development, focus on job security, promotion and careers, minimizing status differentials, fair reward systems and comprehensive communication and involvement processes will all contribute to a positive psychological contract. The steps required to develop a positive psychological contract are shown below:
- Define expectations during recruitment and induction programmes.
- Communicate and agree expectations as part of the continuing dialogue that is implicit in good performance management practices.
- Adopt a policy of transparency on company policies and procedures and on management's proposals and decisions as they affect people.
- Generally treat people as stakeholders, relying on consensus and cooperation rather than control and coercion.
The importance of communication in shaping the psychological contract, especially at the recruitment and induction stage when promises and commitments can be made by employers on such matters as interesting work, learning and development opportunities, not to make unreasonable demands on employees, feedback on performance, fair treatment, work life balance, a reasonable degree of security and a safe working environment. Following the recruitment and induction stage, communication is most effective if it is personal and job-related. Top-down communication is less important. A positive psychological contract can only be achieved if management keeps its word – if it does not breach the contract.
Violations of Psychological Contracts
Breaches of can take three forms: inadvertently, disruptive, or reneging. Whether the victims identify the source of the breach to be unwillingness or inability to comply, impacts on how breach is experienced and what victims do in response.
- Inadvertent: able and willing to comply, occurs due to divergent interpretations
- Disruption: Willing but unable – inability to fulfill contract
- Breach of contract: Able but unwilling – break a promise
Psychological contracts are tacit – that is, they are understood or implied without being spoken or written. It is thus likely that they contain vague beliefs and unverified assumptions. Violation of psychological contract, which is when an employee feels that the organisation has failed to deliver on its promises, has major consequences.
Psychological contract breach is a subjective occurrence as it is one's perception that another has failed to fulfill satisfactorily the promised obligations of the psychological contract. The employee has the belief that a breach has occurred and that affects his or her behavior and attitudes, regardless of whether that belief is valid or not.
"Self-serving biases" occurs when employees evaluate themselves and their own contributions positively and the contributions of the employer less positively. With such preconceived notions, whenever the psychological contract is fulfilled, the employee who generated the contract will take the credit for its fulfillment. And when breaches of the contract occur, these employees lay their own non-fulfillment of a contract onto external conditions, such as other people in the organisation, the global economy, or the organisation.
Psychological contract violation may result in a number of attitudinal responses. Attitudinal responses consist of reduced organisational commitment, job satisfaction and increased cynicism. The five stages of employee response to employer contract breach are: complaining, lowered job involvement, retaliation, appeals to union and legal assistance, and resignation. These are all attempts at evening out the contract.
Employee cynicism has been described as a negative attitude and involves a belief that their organisation lacks integrity, negative emotions towards the organisation and a tendency for employees towards critical behavior of their organisation. The aims of employee cynicism are usually senior executives, the organisation in general and organizational policies. Breach of psychological contract may also create behavioral changes, in reduced effort and commitment and thus leading to significant implications for employee and organisational performance. This can lead to feelings of injustice, deception or betrayal among employees.
Employees with different understandings of their psychological contracts respond differently to contract violation and to planned organisational change.
Link between HR Practices and Psychological Contract
Competition has compelled organisations to find new ways to bring about various changes to maintain financial control. Organisations concluded that to maintain such type of control, they need to remove typical benefits usually involved in the "exchange relationship" between employer and employee. Such traditional benefits as lifelong security, guaranteed pay increases and assured career opportunities should no more be provided to employees.
Nowadays, the new tendency is that employees no more have security in their respective jobs even though they show commitment to the organisation. The employees hard work for simply having a job and this can eventually have a systematic effect on the employee-employer relationship resulting in the transformation of the established "trust, loyalty commitment and long-term relationship".
For employers to obtain what they really expect from their employees, they should give them appropriate inducements. Employees who are satisfied and feel part of the organisation will be more willing to make effort to do their job to achieve organisational objectives and will be more apt to sort out problems arising in the organisation. Yet, employers have had to face many difficulties to assess the expectations of employees and which kind of inducements will influence employees to make desired contributions.
Psychological contract has been early defined as an "unconscious assumption" as regards to the employee/employer relationship. Nowadays, psychological is said to be the type of agreement that is formed based on the exchanged promises between the employee and the employer. However, it is to be noted that each employee's psychological contract is unique in nature and each employee's perception of the relationship differs from each other.
Moreover, HR practices and psychological contract are both linked to the organisation strategy. HR practices firstly affect employee's skills, attitudes and behaviors that consecutively have an effect on organisational performance. HR practices drive strong messages to individuals regarding what the organisation expects of them and what they can expect in return. HR practices is also said to convey promises and future aims on behalf of the organisation through recruitment, reward and development practices and these are viewed as a specific form of contract.
Furthermore, HR practices impact firm performance by creating structural and operational efficiencies and having a "strong HR system" tends to improve employee's satisfaction towards their job. It is also assumed that having such a system in an organisation reduces exhaustion in employees. In simple terms, it can be stated that the business strategy and employment strategy have an impact the way of HR practice designs and this eventually shape the psychological contract of employees.

Why should someone buy your work?
Because it's awesome. (laugh) I also donate a portion of the profit to charity.
Need even more reasons to buy my books?
Click here.
Why the name SeaMonkey Ink?
Why not? (grin) What's
not to love? I mean it's Ink squirting out of a Seamonkey.
I mean sure no one has ever witnessed such a phenomenon but that doesn't
mean it couldn't happen. (laugh)
Seriously, when
I was in school (high school and beyond) I used to play pranks under
various code names - one of which was Seamonkey. I also have
always enjoyed writing and back when I started to do so, I used to
write everything by hand (which requires either lead or Ink) even
long after I got my first word processor and computer. After
I finally started typing directly, it still took ink to print.
Hence SeaMonkey Ink.
Have you ever actually owned Seamonkeys?
I have and I'm pretty well convinced that there is a wanted poster
with my name and likeness up somewhere in the SIA (Seamonkey
Intelligence Agency) headquarters for mass genocide. (laugh)
I try but I fail.
Where is SeaMonkeyInk online?
Here on SeaMonkeyInk.com of course. I'm also on
Are any
of your characters based on people you know/knew in real life?
really. Most are composites. However, I will say that
more than a little of my own personality/thoughts/expressions pop
up in my stories and among my characters.
For instance, in Rebellion
Book I: Book of Quay, Phong Quay makes a statement that one day he
is changing his name and not telling anyone what he changed it to. I've said that to people since I was like 5 - particularly when I
get agitated at being disturbed.
So if any real life person is
used as a template for some of my dialogue and character behaviors
it would be myself.
You write some historical novels. How
accurate are they?
Accurate enough. (laugh) I always say
I do just enough research to be dangerous.
I enjoy history and find some of the portraits of these figures, times and places to be fascinating. I actually do put in quite a nice chunk of time trying to make the story as historically accurate as possible though I would like to think my work is more character driven then driven by the time, places and figures that inspired it.
write more novellas than traditional 50,000 + word novels. Why?
Because it's the wave of the future? (laugh)
It's probably
because I have a short attention span sometimes. It's true. Just give me the remote or put me in charge of the radio and the channel
will be changed between every commercial/song. I scroll ALOT.
I also don't like the practice of padding. Many traditional publishers force writers to add unnecessary bolly hollicks to reach a desired word count or page number. I prefer to present my work exactly as envisioned. Although it's hard work to be your own editor and marking department, etc, it's one of the reasons I like self-publishing. It gives you 100% creative control over your work.
not forget also that if someone is like me, they may actually
have a life outside of my books (scary to imagine but true). They may not have the time or inclination to read a 1,000 page monster
novel or they simply may not care about how 3 paragraphs of comfortable
the chair in the center of the room is (unless of course its comfort
is caused by the corpses stuffed inside of it or something of the
like). They may have a low threshold for magazines with all
of their endless pages of ads, tireless celeb gossip dribble or writers
telling them (and quite authoritatively at that) what's best for them
and how they should live their life (not to mention that that's my
job). They may also be wanting something to read a little more
substantial than how to wear stripes or position their package in
their underthings for maximum effect. Then again, they may just
have a really, really short attention span like I do.
were a novella comes in handy. It's just long enough to keep
them occupied for a nice chunk of time but not so long that they end
up neglecting their family (thus resulting in divorce and CPS involvement),
spending their whole vacation in a book (thus being mugged by local
thugs) or going to work the next day a stressed out, sleep-deprived
wreck because they just HAD to finish it (thus causing them to get
Not only that, several completely fabricated studies show that people who do not add novellas to their library diet run a 300% higher risk of stroke, heart disease, impotence, diarrhea, brain damage, Tourette's, drug, alcohol & gambling addiction, schizophrenia, depression and Alzheimer's than those who don't. If they can't do it for themselves, they should do it for their families.

After 1990, despite certain laws (Law on Culture, Law on Local Self Government), there was no actual division of jurisdiction between national and local levels of government. The Ministry of Culture was in fact responsible for all the cultural institutions in the country (appointing directors of the institutions, providing funds for salaries, running costs and programmes etc.).
In December 2003, the government passed the Decision on the Network of National Institutions in the Field of Culture. According to this Decision, only 64 (from the previous 115) institutions gained the status of national institutions completely financed by the Ministry of Culture. All other cultural institutions were considered local and should be financed by the local governments (running costs etc.) but, on the other hand, the salaries were still subsidized from the Ministry of Culture. The local institutions can also apply for annual funding from the Ministry of Culture for programmes and specific projects. Since June 2005 this division of jurisdiction has been put into practice.
Municipalities, within the legal framework, independently regulate and perform activities of local importance determined by law and are responsible for their performance. In the field of culture the municipalities are responsible for institutional and financial support to cultural institutions and projects, preservation of the folklore customs, traditional handcrafts and similar cultural heritage, organisation of cultural events, encouraging various specific forms of artistic work etc.
It is important to stress that in 2012 the City of Skopje, for the first, time adopted a Strategy with an Action Plan for the Development of Culture in the City of Skopje for 2012-2015. The document contained several strategic goals (development of plural and democratic model of cultural policy, transparency, expertise and efficiency in cultural actions; cooperation between all cultural actors; educational programmes, development of creative industries etc.), an action plan with a time frame, methodology and procedures etc. Since then the Skopje administration announces a public call for cultural projects of importance for the City of Skopje.
According to the Law on the City of Skopje, the City of Skopje is responsible for:
- institutional and financial support of the cultural institutions and projects of importance for the City of Skopje
- fostering the folklore, tradition, old craftsmanship and similar cultural values
- organising cultural events, encouragement of various specific forms of creativity and
- recognising events and persons of importance for the City of Skopje
The National Strategy for Cultural Development 2018-2022 foresaw rapid decentralisation in the past several years. However, so far nothing has been done in this direction.

NJCAA No. 2/Region 8 No. 1 Tallahassee Community College improved to 7-0 with Tuesday's 70-49 triumph over Region 8 No. 5 Chipola College in men's basketball action at the Bill Hebrock Eagledome.
The win also moved the Eagles to 2-0 in league play.
Three players scored in double-figures for Tallahassee, including a game-high 26 by El Ellis, while a collective defensive effort held the Indians to their lowest scoring output in the series in more than 11 years (49 points on January 19, 2010).
Chipola shot just 33.3 percent (16-of-48) for the game, 8-of-27 (29.6 percent) in the second half – and just 2-of-17 from long distance – while also committing 26 turnovers.
DeAngelo Ware opened the scoring with a three-pointer, and the Eagles never trailed. His second three-pointer of the half gave Tallahassee a 31-20 lead, and Tyler Poindexter hit a free throw to cap a 9-0 run for a 32-20 advantage with 3:30 left in the half.
Poindexter closed the first-half scoring with a basket in the paint to send the Eagles to the locker room in front 34-24.
After Chipola scored the first basket of the second half, Tallahassee seized control with a 12-2 run. Poindexter's three from the corner finished the surge and put the Eagles ahead 46-28 with 13:12 remaining.
Later in the half, Ellis scored 11 of his 15 second-half points during a 4:20 span, part of an 18-6 run that resulted in a 25-point lead (64-39), the Eagles' largest of the night.
Ware finished with 11 points and Poindexter, 10.
Up next for Tallahassee is a trip to Northwest Florida State College on Thursday evening (8:30 p.m.) followed by a home date with Pensacola State College on Saturday (5 p.m.).
Playing at home for the first time in almost a year, Tallahassee Community College's women's basketball team fell to Chipola College, 75-47, on Tuesday evening.
The Eagles are now 1-3 (0-2 Panhandle Conference).
Both teams got off to a rather slow start, with Chipola leading 14-5 after the first quarter. A 22-11 second quarter advantage gave the Indians a 36-16 lead heading to the locker room.
Kyra Smith scored the initial basket of the third quarter, cutting the Eagles' deficit to 18, but they would get no closer.
Smith finished with a team-high 12 points to lead Tallahassee. Polina Nikulochkina added 10.
Rita James came off the bench to score nine and pull down a team-high seven rebounds.
Tallahassee will travel to Northwest Florida State College on Thursday evening for a 6:30 p.m. tip with the Raiders then host Pensacola State College at 3 p.m. Saturday.
