JACKAREA DAWSON

It was in 1988, when I first entered my Political Science class taught by Prof Stephen at West Texas A&M (formerly known as West Texas State University). The Texan born professor asked my name. He had a difficulty in pronouncing my full name. Then, out of the blue I said to him, "Prof, call me Jackarea Dawson". From that occassion in the next three years, I had been using that name in the university.

MY PROGRESS: Universalism and Particularism

- February 25, 2011

Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner (1998) came up with seven dimensions of culture which include universalism and particularism. Universalism emphasizes on rules, while particularism stresses on relationship. In order for one to achieve success, one needs to struggle and work hard. This is what meant by universalism. On the other hand, working hard does not promise a success. Relationship is mandatory which constitute the accepted norm of particularism. In career success, one expects that one's contribution or effort is being rewarded extrinsically or intrinsically. For academics, research productivity has becoming an influential measurement to build their career success. The ability to publicize their research in high impact journal and then citations made by other researchers will contribute a big impact to their career success. They will be rewarded for that. A promotion which will be based on numbers of publications and citations will result on an increase in salary. These ex...

Castillo and Cano (2004) had conducted a study explaining the influence of Herzberg et al (1959) Motivator-Hygiene theory on job satisfaction among the faculty in College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Science at Ohio State University. Their research was mooted by Bowen’s (1980) report that the said theory was not applicable for teacher educators in agriculture. Moreover, the motivator-hygiene theory had been popularly used in testing the level of job satisfaction.

Also, the researchers wanted to validate the one-item measure of overall job satisfaction. There were 172 faculty members involved in the study. Hundred and forty eight respondents returned the questionnaires which represented 86% of the response rate. The questionnaires contained three parts. Part I consisted of 18 items from Job Satisfaction Index questionnaire. Each item was ...
