Critically evaluate current theory and practice in organisational psychology relevant to employee well-being

Essay Question –
Designing a Wellbeing Intervention
“Critically present and discuss the design of an intervention to tackle a key well-being issue within the workplace.” Identify and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed intervention; how does it work and who is responsible for their implementation.
Improving the psychological well-being of a workforce brings benefits for both the individual employees and the organisation as a whole. For organisations, the business case for investing in psychological well-being is strong and associates with improved outcomes for organisations, including lower levels of turnover, sickness absence, and improved work performance.
The intervention discussed in your essay should convey the core message that psychological wellbeing can make a difference to work, individuals’ working lives and the success of organisations. The wellbeing intervention you will propose can be of two main kinds: 1) focused on treatment (i.e. interventions implemented once a health and wellbeing issue has been identified); or 2) focused on prevention (i.e. interventions introduced to prevent the likelihood of reduced wellbeing occurring

Quantitative Methods for Business

JOB SATISFACTION IN GERMANY AND FRANCE

Introduction
The extent to which employees are satisfied with their jobs is an important consideration. After all, satisfied employees may be more productive and more committed. The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions gathers information on job satisfaction in 5-year intervals and you are asked to analyse data from the two latest surveys, administered in 2010 and 2015. The sample consists of 5,719 German and French employees. The Excel file labelled ‘CW_DATA’ contains one sheet with the data and one sheet with variable definitions.

Instructions

Using the available data (attached in files), address the question below. Please take note of the following instructions. Failure to comply with these will require you to resubmit the assignment.

– The answer should be at most 1 page A4, with 1-inch margins all around, portrait page orientation, Times New Roman 12pt and 1.5 line spacing.
–
– The 1-page limit includes any appendices.

– Possible tables and figures must appear large enough to be readable and fit within the margins. Ensure that each table or figure is numbered and named, and unambiguously referred to in-text.

– Q1 has already been done by the candidate. The answer is attached with other files, titled as ‘Regression Analysis’. The Writer is expected to do Q2.

– The Data, and the answer to Q1 are both attached, thus please read both of them very properly before starting Q2.
Assignments

Q1. Job satisfaction may be predicted by employee characteristics, characteristics of jobs, and company characteristics.

Using the tool of regression analysis, does the data set imply support for such expectations?

If so, then which employee, job, and company characteristics predict job satisfaction, and what is the nature of any such effects in terms of their sign and magnitude?

Q2. Job satisfaction may be lowest neither for very young nor very old employees, and so the association between age and job satisfaction may be U-shaped.

Do the data imply support for such an expectation? And is such a pattern evident in individual countries and years?

Write an email to Plutus’s CEO identifying the critical steps involved in an acquisition process after the target has been identified

Background
Monsoft is an established fintech that provides back-office/ administrative software for banks to manage customer mortgages. The company has 8 clients in total with 3 of the top 10 UK banks using their software.
The company was founded by Tim Bennis, who serves as both CEO and CTO. Currently the software is sold through multi-year licences, which are deployed on Monsoft’s customers own servers, however Monsoft also has plans to sell its product through the software as a service model (SaaS). Tim
estimates that this would cost £3m and take 12-18 months to implement, the move to a SaaS model will likely increase the value of the company by 50%.
Ownership: Tim owns 30% of the shares in the company with the remainder held by various venture capital firms, the largest of which is a small UK venture capital fund, Growth Partners that owns 40%. Each of the other shareholders own approximately 10% and are not aligned with Tim or Growth Partners
Shareholder Exit: Growth Partners is nearing the end of its lifecycle and has failed to raise a subsequent fund, so needs to sell its 40% shareholding in Monsoft for cash to its investors rather than take additional equity stakes. There are three financing options currently available: acquisition by a high
growth fintech, sale to a private equity firm and a management buyout.
see ‘this screenshot’ for information on Plutus and Valuation Guidance
REQUIREMENTS
A: Business Valuation
Compose a memo to the Board of Directors of Monsoft covering the following topics:
1. Calculate the 2022 value of Monsoft by applying the following three methods:
• 1. Discounted Cashflow (DCF) with terminal value based on Price/Sales multiple applied current TTM
(Trailing Twelve Month) revenue
o The DCF will use the forward years projections up to 2024
o Assume that there is no depreciation, investment, or interest but if there is a tax liability, that is, if the company is profitable – assume the UK corporate tax rate is 19%
• 2. Forward P/E valuation, – Apply the same assumptions as for the DCF to determine what an implied post tax earnings figure would be for Monsoft in 2022 and apply the relevant PE multiple
• 3. Price/Sales
Please include an advantage and disadvantage of each valuation technique
2. Assuming Plutus hits the $20m revenue target and the new revenue multiple is applied, calculate the value in GBP of the equity stake the owners of Monsoft would have in Plutus.

Identify a solvent suitable for purifying the impure sample of benzoic acid by crystallization

Objective: To purify a sample of benzoic acid contaminated with sand by recrystallization from water

Crystalline state of matter is a highly organized state of matter. To form crystals, the molecules of the substance must arrange themselves in an orderly manner. Any impurity present in the sample of the substance will prevent the orderly organization of molecules of the substance. Thus, a sample obtained in a crystalline form is likely to be a pure substance. A sample of an impure solid substance can be purified by recrystallization.

Recrystallization Method:
1. Identify the impurity in the sample and the approximate degree of contamination
2. Identify a solvent suitable for purifying the impure sample of benzoic acid by crystallization. [An ideal solvent for recrystallization for a substance is a solvent that will (1) partially dissolve the substance at room temperature, and (2) completely dissolve the substance while hot . In addition, the hot solution of the substance in the solvent, when cooled will allow the substance to form crystalline solid.]
3. Separate the impurity by mixing the impure sample with minimum amount of the hot solvent and filtering off the insoluble impurity by gravity filtration.
4. Allow the filtrate to cool slowly to room temperature or below, for the pure substance to crystallize.
5. Isolate the recrystallized benzoic acid by vacuum filtration, dry the residue and determine the amount of sample recovered. Calculate the % recovery of benzoic acid
6. Determine the purity of the recrystallized benzoic acid by determining its melting point and comparing this melting point to the value reported in literature.

Procedure:
Weigh out approximately 200.0 mg of the impure benzoic acid sample to be purified into a 50mL Erlenmeyer flask (A). In another Erlenmeyer flask(B) containing a boiling chip, heat the solvent of crystallization (distilled water) on a hot plate. Heat the solvent to boiling. With a pasture pipet (plastic), add a small portion of the hot solvent into the solid in the flask (A). Heat flask A on the hot plate. Add hot solvent in small amounts to flask A and swirl to dissolve as much of the solid as possible. Watch carefully to make sure that only the impurity is left undissolved. Filter the hot solution by gravity filtration into another small Erlenmeyer flask(C) using a fluted filter paper. Wash the residue of the impurity with minimum amount of hot solvent. Allow the filtrate to cool, undisturbed, to form crystals of the pure compound. After the flask, has cooled to room temperature, place it in an ice bath to complete the crystallization (10 minutes). Filter the crystals by vacuum filtration. Wash the residue with ice-cold water and dry the residue between wads of filter paper. Weigh the dried crystals and determine its melting point.

Research and prepare a report on a chosen element from the periodic table of elements having a half-life greater than 1 year.

The Periodic Table of Elements arranges all chemicals in an informative array. This listing of elements make up all of the materials and compounds that are used in daily life. Each element in the Periodic Table has a unique history, properties, and uses. One unique aspect of each element is its half-life. Defined as the amount of time for the quantity of an element to reduce by ½, the half life is an important feature of all elements.

In the core project for MATH 1314, research and prepare a report on a chosen element from the periodic table of elements having a half-life greater than 1 year. Prepare a 300 word (minimum) report including where your element is found in nature as well as how your element is utililized in your chosen field of study. Include citations.

I (Dr. Alpert) will be using this purple type for example …. Please delete my example and insert your element (unless you want to use my element as yours – that is OK with me). Your response should be in black print, please.
The citations will be the link where you obtained your information.
The element I am using for my example is Titanium-44 that has a half-life of 63 years. (socratic.org)

Using the rules of Logarithms, calculate the k value in the half-life of the element using the function: N(t)=N_0 e^(-kt) or the formula: N_0 e^(-kt)= N_0/2.

If I begin with 100grams of Titanium-44, in 63 years there will be just 50 grams. I will use this formula:
Amount at time “t” = Original amount (1/2)(t/half-life).
A(t) = 100 (1/2)(t/63)
Using this half-life concept, I can easily generate at least 10 points in the form (time, amount)
(0, 100); (63, 50); (126, 25); (189, 12.5); (252, 6.25) (315, 3.125); (378, 1.5625); (441, 0.78125);
(504, .390625); (567, 0.1953125); (630, 0.09765625)
Notice the X-values are multiples of 63 years and the y-values are the amount of Titanium-44 left after X years.
This is a very nice form of the formula. The original amount of 100 grams is obvious, and the half-life of 63 years is obvious in the exponent.
Amount at time “t” = Original amount (1/2)(t/half-life).
A(t) = 100 (1/2)(t/63)

However, this project asked me to put the formula in a format using the number e, and to show my computation. So here it is:
100 e-k*63 = 100/2 (definition of half-life)
100 e-k*63 = 50 (simplify 100/2)
e-k*63 = 0.5 (divide each side of the equation by the original amount of 100)
ln e-k*63 = ln (0.5) (take the natural logarithm of each side)
(-k*63) lne = ln(0.5) (law of logs, page 495 #3)
(-k*63) = ln(0.5) (ln e is just 1 because the base of the log and the argument undo each other)
-k = ln (0.5) / 63 (divide each side by 63 in order to isolate the variable)
K=-0.0110023362
Therefore, the function in the requested format is:
A(t) = 100 e(-0.0110023362 t)

Putting this formula in Y1, and setting the table of my calculator to start at 0 and change by 63, the same ten points are generated:
(0, 100); (63, 50); (126, 25); (189, 12.5); (252, 6.25) (315, 3.125); (378, 1.5625); (441, 0.78125);
(504, .390625); (567, 0.1953125); (630, 0.09765625)
Notice the X-values are multiples of 63 years and the y-values are the amount of Titanium-44 left after X years.

Using the function derived in question 2, calculate and graph 10 points based on the half-life of your element. Be sure to appropriately label each of the axes of your graph, and appropriately label your graph. In paragraph form (200 word minimum), address the following:
What trend do you see?
Give at least two observations from your graph (possibilities include the Y-intercept and its meaning, is the graph always increasing? Is the graph always decreasing? Is there a change in direction?)
Your graph will have a Y-Intercept as a point. Use critical thinking strategies to determine if this is applicable in a real-world scenario.
Critical Thinking: Discuss any negative OR positive impacts of your element. Based on this information, should the usage of this element be altered in any way.
