This diploma thesis deals with the problematic areas of rewarding of employees. However, it is not possible to explore this area only from accounting viewpoint. It is necessary to take into account the context and the currenet law in force at 1. 1. 2012. The aim of this thesis is to find the optimal reward system both in terms of employees, and from the perspective of the employer. The employer is trying to reduce labor costs and also to motivate and retain quality and loyality of employees. Today, in addition to wages employee also expects other monetary or non-monetary benefits that have an impact on his professional and personal development. Therefore it is necessary to find a compromise between employee's demands and objectives of employers. The partical part summarizes the findings from previous theoretical work parts into a complex example, where creative approaches are demonstrated which in real life are used in rewarding of employees.

Neste trabalho, utiliza-se o modelo de insumo-produto de Leontief, em sua variante nacional, estática e aberta, para quantificar alguns benefícios indiretos gerados por um investimento em construção e manutenção de obras de infra-estrutura de transporte. Estes benefícios são conseqüência do aumento da produção gerado pelo investimento, uma vez que há uma parcela de produção de qualquer bem ou serviço que corresponde a um aumento de riqueza para a região receptora do investimento. Procura-se mostrar que esse aumento de riqueza deve ser considerado como um beneficio indireto adicional, e que a busca da identificação da magnitude desse valor adicionado à economia pode fazer a diferença entre múltiplas alternativas de investimento. Sugere-se que o resultado dessa quantificação possa fazer parte de métodos mais flexíveis de avaliação como os métodos multi-objetivos e multi-critérios. / At this work, the national static open Leontief\'s input-output model is used in order to measure some indirect benefits generated as a consequence of investment in construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure facilities. These benefits are generated by an increase in production, once there is always a part of the production of goods and services which implies on a growth of wealth for the region into which the investment is applied. It is shown that this increase of wealth has to be taken in to account as an additional indirect benefit, and that searching for identification of the magnitude of that value added into the economy could make the difference among several investment alternatives. It is suggested that the results of that measurement could be considered in more flexible evaluation methods, such as multi-objectives and multi-criteria methods.

Higher education domain has a direct impact on individuals and society in general and particularly regarding the socio-economic status and economic growth of any individual or a country. Despite recent changes in job market orientation for hiring employees without higher education degrees, higher education sector is required globally to provide training, knowledge and skill to achieve the globally stated goal of attaining economic growth and sustainable human development. This research focuses on the importance of higher education to primary beneficiaries (student, parents, and higher education institutions personals), explores defined goal of higher education, and assess the effect of external environmental factors that influence higher education sector sampling Bahrain public higher education in a single case study. Through an exploratory qualitative research, the researcher used a case study approach with semi-structured interviews to assess different beneficiaries' views of the importance of higher education to bridge the gap between different perspectives on shaping the goal of higher education. An abductive approach was followed to conduct this research as this topic requires both observing the research topic as well as qualifying an established theory. This approach allowed the researcher to gain new insights to understand the relationship between the environmental factors and higher education goal. The research assesses the factors influencing higher education to be utilised as moderator to develop a conceptual framework based on Means-end theory of decision-making combined with the dynamics of OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act) model of decision-making. Key findings of the pilot study conducted in one of Bahrain's public higher education institutions (HEIs) and another case study on one of the leading higher education institutions in Bahrain revealed a gap between higher education beneficiaries' perspectives on higher education and demonstrated the importance of the revision of the overall structure and implementation of policies concerning higher education sector in Bahrain. Empirical findings highlighted some main areas where there is a huge gap between what is planned and implemented. Through comparing results of previous studies, the researcher concluded that each environment has its own effect on higher education goal definition which in turn affect the attainment of higher education benefits and the definition of its attributes.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits peer tutoring provides to the tutee. However, studies measuring the benefits peer tutoring provides to the tutor are limited in quantity, detail, participant numbers and breadth. This study measured the benefits 151 peer tutors reported after peer tutoring for a semester in a special education class for students with severe disabilities. Peer tutors reported benefits in an essay response to the prompt: "What do you feel you have gained as a result of being a peer tutor?" The study identified the most common benefits obtained by peer tutors as measured by peer tutor generated responses of general peer-tutoring benefits. Findings suggest an extension of peer-tutoring benefits beyond the tutee exclusively and to the peer tutor.

Thesis (M. Com.) --University of Limpopo, 2018 / The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency and effectiveness of e-business applications when used for the creation and delivering of value propositions that the target markets that businesses desire to achieve in the Limpopo Province.

(1) To identify the e-business applications that can be used in the development of new value propositions for businesses (2) To identify the benefits that the use of e-business applications offers to businesses (3) To determine the relationship between the use of e-business applications and the operational performance of the value propositions. The study was quantitative in nature. Exploratory and descriptive research were utilised to the use of e-business applications by businesses. A sample size of 330 businesses was used. The questionnaire was based on a thorough theoretical basis and a pilot study was conducted to improve the validity. The Cronbach alpha test was conducted to ascertain the reliability of the research instrument. Data was collected through the use of self-administered questionnaires in a survey.

Objective: To investigate and determine periodontal treatment needs by the use of the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) of a Medicaid expansion population in the state of Iowa (DWP) in comparison with patients insured by the traditional Medicaid State Plan, patients with private dental insurance, and self-pay patients, while evaluating for systemic health conditions and socio-behavioral factors. Methods: A secondary data analysis of electronic health records (EHR) from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry was completed and analyzed. Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted. Logistic regression models were used to analyze relationships between predictors and periodontal treatment need. Results: Out of the study population, 54% were indicated for scaling and root planing (SRP). Predictors of indicating the need for SRP treatment were found to be: Age (p< .0001), gender (p< .0001), medical diagnosis of diabetes (p=.031), smoking status (p< .0001), and not receiving regular dental check-ups (p< .0001). Discussion: Our findings are consistent with common periodontal disease predictors found in the literature. Interestingly, insurance status was not a significantly associated predictor of periodontal treatment needs. However, approximately 50% patients with all insurance types were indicated for SRP. Implications: DWP patients must earn benefits by maintaining dental appointments. This earned benefits approach delays periodontal treatment as patients must earn this procedure, potentially leading to deteriorating periodontal health. Further assessment of periodontal burden in the DWP population should be conducted and potential program structure evaluated.
