Another type of abuse is sexual abuse. Hudson et al. (1993) suggested that sex offenders have general shortcomings in functions of their emotions. They established that rapists and pedophiles are substantially not as sensitive to the perception of emotions displayed by others, when compared to domestic abuse offenders. In the study conducted by Puglia, Stough, Carter, and Joseph (2005), they chose 19 imprisoned sex offenders, who were chosen from Her Majesty’s Prison and Ararat, 18 detained non-sex offending prisoners from HM Prison Ararat and Her Majesty’s Prison Langi Kal Ka, and 19 control participants without criminal history and who were not connected to any crime.

It does not matter the size of the company, management is obligated to use four tasks toward achievement planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Planning tasks are when managers select individual goals and the course of action to take, to gain a performance of high standards. There are risks to consider when managers accept the responsibility of achieving used in their planning.

Managers throughout history have been interested in studying ways to increase productivity. For example, Frederick Taylor began the movement of scientific management in the 1880’s. Scientific management looked to improve productivity through means of scientific analysis of worker’s tasks and work processes rather than the old “rule of thumb” (Taylor, 1914). Taylor believed that he could maximize worker efficiency and productivity through focusing on workers specific hand motions and patterns. After this period, beginning in about the 1930’s, managers looked to take productivity to yet another level by studying worker physiology and motivation. This new movement came to be known as the human relations movement.
organization (a group of one or more people or entities) or efforts for the purpose of
Scientific management is a management theory developed by Frederick W Taylor. Its main purpose is to improve an organization’s efficiency in production through analyzing workflow systematically using quantitative analysis to improve task completion efficiency. Reducing waste, increasing methods of production and create a just distribution of goods are goals of the scientific management theory. On the other hand, human relations theory attributed by Elton Mayo counteracts with scientific management theory that ignored human issues of behavior. In human relations theory, a worker is treated as an individual and what motivates and cultivates them in their achievement is analyzed. Both scientific management and human relation theory aims to improve efficiency in the workplace and it still applies to the workforce in the modern days despite the opposing ideas of both theories.
