Human Resources: Issues and Planning

© 2005 Go-Essays® All Rights Reserved

            The context of organizational dynamics in a cumulative view incorporates a broad range of topics that are pertinent to the workplace. Understanding the characteristics of a given organization and, more importantly, the people who are employed there, will assist in identifying with employee needs. This can integrate numerous characteristics within the workplace that a successful employer must understand and recognize. But also, understanding organizational dynamics goes alongside recognizing the organizational culture, and the likelihood of continuous success relies upon the human resources manager. The recent swing in human resources development (HRD) seems to support this assertion, and managers/CEO’s are realizing HRM’s invaluable contribution to an organization. Some of the key questions in HRM are about communication and opening relationships between employees/managers and managers to partners. Indeed, effective communication is at the crux of effective human resource management, which in turn, develops a stable relationship among employees. However, the issues facing human resource managers are not only expanding, but they are becoming increasingly difficult. In view thereof, HRM’s do not solely concern themselves with communications in the workplace; therefore, this discussion should not be narrowed to such a limited area. Instead, the focus will reside within human resource manager’s influence on employee productivity, communication, and the importance of planning and implementing change.

Da Vinci's Humanizing Last Supper

            Leonardo da Vinci is one of history’s most diligent autobiographers and yet, the breadth of his brilliance was so wide as to leave us with a perpetually complex and enigmatic figure.  Though perhaps the bulk of his notoriety in popular culture is derived from The Last Supper and The Mona Lisa, two Renaissance Era masterpieces of inimitable fame and importance, the categorical depth of his interests and accomplishments is expansive.  And completely contained within the framework of artistic achievement, his wealth of knowledge, ingenuity and capability are all central to the accomplishments of his art.  Ironically, his limitless intellectual capacity could also be a negative factor in the pursuit of lasting artistic greatness, even suggesting the possibility that visual art was not a top priority for the mathematician, athlete, philosopher, political theorist and religious scholar.  His Last Supper, originally completed in 1498 as a commissioned adornment of a dining hall in the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent in Milan, is a prime example of this dichotomy.  Da Vinci reveals a combination of cold hard intellect, painstaking craftsmanship and an uninhibited tendency toward experimentation in a painting that tells an emotionally driven story about both its subject and its creator.

            A primary thing to consider when viewing the piece is the context in which it was conceived and carried out.  Da Vinci’s skills as a painter were well-appreciated by the public and this was a piece for which he was paid handsomely.  More to the point, the subject was the brainchild of his employer.  He had been instructed to craft this piece across the convent’s wall in accordance with the bible verse which inspired it.  The image has become the universally accepted visual depiction of Jesus Christ informing his disciples that one of them would betray him.  Da Vinci operated under the impetus of capturing this moment.  What is most immediately striking about the image is the thematic decision which informs it.  Where a conventional pre-Renaissance depiction of Christ sought to capture his glory and the righteous peace which dressed the countenances of his followers, the Last Supper is an explicitly humanistic portrait of the bible’s words.

Abstract

            Religion and therapy, as well as its counterpart known as science, have been separated throughout the course of past centuries due to divergent reasons. Many never considered the two to be integrated considering the potential hindrance religion had to the contribution of theories such as Darwinism, and Freudism. Immanuel Kant hastened the separation by suggesting that while both science and religion could be logical in their approaches, their spheres of interest and authority were autonomous from one another. Science pertains to experimental method to understand the natural world, whereas religion applies its ethical reasoning to address human problems of moral choice. Because they occupy two different realms, conflicts between them could be "resolved" by mutual avoidance.[1] However, as practiced science becomes incorporated with religious thought, this paper will examine the steps that should be avoided and taken in merging the two concepts together in therapy.
