These adjustments also affect salaries, if there is a high demand for a position where there is a shortage in qualified candidates the salaries and benefits will be higher.

From the 1950’s to the 1970’s, the workforce had more of a “traditional” approach. The focus was more on the relationship between the employee and the organization. According to Personal and Career Development The Best and Worst of Times, by Gerard A. Callanan and Jeffrey H. Greenhaus, the relationship is based off of a psychological contract between the employee and the organization.

Someone that has had multiple jobs would be obtaining new skills and abilities and would also be gaining experience dealing with differing personality types within the workplace. At this age someone could be more confident in who

The idea of instructors being granted Tenure has been a hot topic in the last few years. Each individual seems to have their own opinion on this controversial topic and it is important to look at both sides of this argument to determine what is the most ethical and fair solution. Engaging my fellow students, I noticed that they were limited by their own knowledge on the topic and many in Iowa City believe that Tenure is essential for the position of a Professor to be a viable option for potential educators.
