MANAGEMENT HUMAN AND RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT

Mangers perform various functions, but one of the most important and least understood aspects of their job is proper utilization of people. Research reveals that worker performance is closely related to motivation; thus keeping employees motivated is an essential component of good management in a business context, motivation refers to the stimulus that direct the behavior of workers toward the company goals. In order to motivated workers to achieve company goals, managers must beware of their needs.

Many managers believe workers will be motivated to achieve organizational goals by satisfying their fundamental needs for material survival. These needs include a good salary, safe working conditions and job security. While absence of these factors results in poor morale and dissatisfaction, studies have shown that their presence result only in maintenance of existing attitudes and work performance. Although important, salary, working conditions, and job security do not provide the primary motivation for many workers in highly industrialized societies, especially at the professional or technical levels.

Increased motivation is more likely to occur when work meets the needs of individuals for learning, self-realization, and personal growth. By responding to personal needs-the desire for responsibility, recognition, growth, promotion, and more interesting work-managers have altered conditions in the workplace and, consequently, many employees are motivated to perform more effectively.

In an attempt to appeal to both the fundamental and personal needs of workers, innovative management approaches, such as job enrichment and job enlargement, have been adopted in many organizations. Job enrichment gives workers more authority in making decisions related to planning and doing their work. A worker might assume responsibility for scheduling work flow, checking quality of work produced, or making sure deadlines are met. Job enlargement increases the number of tasks workers perform by allowing them to rotate positions or by giving them responsibility for doing several jobs. Rather than assembling just one component of an automobile, factory workers might be grouped together and given responsibility for assembling the entire fuel system.

By improving the quality of work life through satisfaction of fundamental and personal employee needs, managers attempt to direct the behavior of workers toward the company goals.

Luka yang Menyakitkan

Luka yang tak terobati

Membuatku tak pernah tenang

Sakit yang merobek hatiku

Hingga menjadi serpihan-serpihan kecil

Kau tak pernah tahu

Rasa sakit dan luka ini

Kau hanya bisa memberi

Tanpa bisa merasakan

Sakit dan luka di hatiku yang tak terkira

Yang tak mampu membuatku berdiri tegar

Ku selalu dibayangi perasaan ini

Tanpa tahu kapan akan berakhir

Siapapun tak ingin

Merasakan penderitaan dari perasaan ini

Kau melukaiku begitu dalam

Hingga aku tak tahu seberapa dalam luka yang kau buat

Catatan Kecil

Mungkin khayalan dan keinginanku berlebihan dan terlalu muluk tapi apa salh jika menginginkan yang terbaik dalam hidupku? Begitu banyak yang ingin kulakukan, menyelesaikan kuliahku dengan lancar dan mudah, setelah lulus aku ingin bekerja dan membahagiakan kedua orang tuaku serta membantu biaya pendidikan adikku. Jika semua itu telah aku lakukan, aku ingin mendapatkan pendamping hidup yang terbaik yang dapat membimbingku dan mengarahkanku untuk lebih baik. Tapi saat ini kenyataan berkata lain, saat seseorang hadir dan mengisi hatiku. Memberi semangat dan motivasi, yang menginginkan aku menjadi pendamping hidupnya. Apakah aku harus mengubur semua keinginanku? Jika memungkinkan, aku ingin tetap bisa menggapai keinginanku walaupun pendamping hidupku telah datang. Ku ingin ia mengerti akan keinginanku ini, serta memotivasi dan mendukungku. Tapi, mungkin dengan mengikat pertalian suci ini, aku bisa keluar dari kehidupan yang selama ini membelengguku dan membuat dadaku sesak. Kehidupan yang sebenarnya tak ingin kujalani, hanya keterpaksaan dari orang-orang di sekitarku yang aku sayangi yang membuatku mau menjalankan kehidupan seperti ini.

Jika seseorang itu tidak hadir terlalu cepat, aku akan melakukan dan menggapai semua keinginanku. Tapi, mungkin ia memang harus hadir sekarang dan menjadi bagian dalam hidupku dan dapat memeberi warna yang cerah untuk hari-hariku.

Mungkin memang harus begini hidupku ini, tak ada yang istimewa. Hanya lembar demi lembar kepahitan dan kesengsaraan yang menghiasi hari-hariku. Orang lain melihat kehidupanku berkecukupan dan indah, mereka haya melihat fisik tanpa melihat batin yang ada dalam diriku. Tapi mereka tak pernah tahu dan tak perlu tahu, karena takkan ada yang mengerti kehidupan yang kujalani. Tak bisa kupungkiri aku mempunyai banyak mimpi dan cita, namun semua itu begitu sulit dan sukar kuraih, begitu banyak aral yang harus kulewati untu meraihnya. Pedih dan sakit yang kualami terus menerus membuatku semakin terpuruk dan tak berani mengambil resiko.

Tugas Bahasa Inggris Bisnis ke-4

ACQUISITION OF CAPITAL

A corporation needs capital in order to start up, operate, and expands its business. The process of acquiring this capital is known as financing. A corporation uses two basic types of financing and debt financing. Equity financing refers to funds that are invested by owners of the corporation. Debt financing, on the other hand, refers to funds that borrowed from sources outside the corporation.

Equity financing (obtaining owners funds) can be exemplified by the sale of corporate stock. In this type of transaction, the corporation sells units of ownership known as share of stock. Each share entitles the purchaser to a certain amount of ownership. For example, if someone buys 100 shares of stock from Ford Motor Company, that person has purchased 100 shares worth of Ford’s resources, materials, plants, production, and profits. The person who purchases shares of stock is known as a stockholder or shareholder.

All corporations, regardless of their size, receive their starting capital from issuing and selling shares of stock. The initial sales involve some risk on the part of the buyers because the corporation has no record of performance. If the corporation is successful, the stockholder may profit through increased valuation of the shares of stock, as well as by receiving dividends. Dividends are proportional amounts of profit usually paid quarterly to stockholders. However, if the corporation is not successful, the stockholder may take a severe loss on the initial stock investment.

Often equity financing does not provide the corporation with enough capital and it must turn to debt financing, or borrowing funds. One example of debt financing is the sale of corporate bonds. In this type of agreement, the corporation borrows money from an investor in return for a bond. The bond has a maturity date, a deadline when the corporation must repay all of the money it has borrowed. The corporation must also make periodic interest payments to the bondholder during the time the money is borrowed. If these obligations are not met, the corporation can be forced to sell its assets in order to make payments to the bondholders.

All businesses need financial support. Equity financing (as in the sale of stock) and debt financing (as in the sale of bonds) provide important means by which a corporation may obtain its capital.

PENGUASAAN MODAL

Sebuah perusahaan membutuhkan modal untuk memulai, menjalankan, dan mengembangkan bisnisnya. Proses penguasaan modal ini dikenal sebagai perolehan dana. Perusahaan menggunakan 2 tipe dasar perolehan dana : perolehan dari dana sendiri dan perolehan dana dari berhutang. Perolehan dari dana sendiri maksudnya dana diinvestasikan oleh pmilik perusahaan. Perolehan dana dari berhutang, sebaliknya, maksudnya dana pinjaman dari sumber diluar perusahaan.

Perolehan dari dana sendiri (perolehan dana dari pemilik) dapat diberikan contoh dengan menjual saham perusahaan. Pada jenis ini, perusahaan menjual unit-unit kepemilikan yang disebut saham. Setiap bagian memberi hak kepada pemilik untuk sejumlah tertentu kepemilikan. Sebagai contoh, jika seseorang membeli 100 bagian saham dari ford motor company bahwa seseorang membeli 100 bagian nilai kekayaan ford, lahan, pabrik, produksi dan keuntungan. Seseorang yang membeli saham disebut sebagi pemegang saham.

Semua perusahaan, tidak pandang besar kecilnya, menerima modal awal mereka dari pengeluaran dan penjualan saham. Penjualan permulaan melibatkan beberapa resiko bagian dari pembeli karena perusahaan tidak mempunyai catatan kinerja. Jika perusahaan sukses, pemegang saham dapat memperoleh keuntungan yang proporsional, biasanya dibayar 3 bulan kepada pemegang saham. Bagaimanapun, jika perusahaan tidak sukses, pemegang saham dapat mengalami kerugian besar dari penerima investasi.

Seringkali perolehan dari dana sendiri tidak disediakan perusahaan dengan cukup modal dan perusahaan harus beralih ke perolehan dana dari berhutang, atau meminjam dana. Satu contoh dari perolehan dana dari berhutang adalah menjual saham surat tanda berhutang, ini adalah jenis perjanjian, perusahaan meminjam uang dari seorang investor sebagai pengganti sebuah surat tanda berhutang mempunyai tanggal jatuh tempo, batas akhir ketika perusahaan harus membayar kembali semua uang yang dipinjam. Perusahaan harus juga melakukan pembayaran bunga berkala ke pemegang surat tanda berhutang selama waktu uang itu di pinjam. Jika kewajiban ini tidak terpenuhi, perusahaan dapat dipaksa untuk menjual asset untuk membayar kepada pemegang surat tanda berhutang.

Semua usaha membutuhkan dukungan dana. Perolehan dari dana sendiri (seperti menjual saham) dan perolehan dana dari berhutang (seperti menjual surat tanda berhutang) memberikan jalan yang penting dengan mana sebuah perusahaan mungkin mendapatkan modal itu.

THE BALANCE SHEET

Financial statements are the final product of the accounting process. They provide information on the financial condition of a company. The balance sheet, one type of financial statement, provides a summary of what a company owns and what it owes on one particular day.

Assets represent everything of value that is owned by a business, such as property, equipment, and accounts receivable. On the other hand, liabilities are the debts that a company owes-for example, to suppliers and banks. If liabilities are subtracted from assets (assets-liabilities) the amount remaining is the owners share of a business. This is known as owners’ or stockholders equity.

One key to understanding the accounting transactions of a business is to understand the relationship of its assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity. This is often represented by the fundamental accounting equation: assets equal liabilities plus owners’ equity.

ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNERS’ EQUITY

These three factors are expressed in monetary terms and therefore are limited to items that can be given a monetary value. The accounting equation always remains in balance; in other words, one side must equal the other.

The balance sheet expands the accounting equation by providing more informa- tion about the assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity of a company at a specific time (for example, on December 31, 1993). It is made up of two parts. The first part lists the company assets, andmthe second part details liabilities and owners’ equity. Assets are divided into current and fixed assets. Cash, accounts receivable and inventories are all current assets. Property, buildings, and equipment make up the fixed assets of a company. The liabilities section of the balance sheet is often divided into current liabilities
(such as bonds and long-term notes).

The balance sheet provides a financial picture of a company on a particular date, and for this reason it is useful in two important areas. Internally, the balance sheet provides managers with financial information for company decisionmaking. Externally, it gives potential investors data for evaluating the company’s financial position.

Surat Perempuan Malang

Dulu kamu pernah bilang akan rela melepasku dengan orang yang baik, tapi bagaimana caranya kamu akan melepas aku? Jika kamu selalu begini, tidak rela melepaskan aku dan selalu merasa sakit hati dan terluka.

Sejak kehadiran dia, aku semakin yakin bahwa aku tidak bisa memberi kepastian kepadamu atau dia. Jika denganmu begitu banyak pertimbangan dan halangan, sedangkan dengan dia, aku merasa tak pantas untuk dia. Karena masa laluku yang kelam. Aku takut kecewa, apalagi mengecewakan, aku takut tidak siap menerima kekecewaan itu. Entah bagaimana jika dia menyukaiku seperti engkau menyukaiku? Mungkin di satu sisi aku senang, tapi di sisi lain aku merasa tak pantas dan takut. Aku takut dia tak bisa menerima keadaanku yang sekarang. Aku takut semua laki-laki tak bisa menerimaku, tidak seperti engkau yang mau menerimaku apa adanya.

Sehingga sampai saat ini aku tak bisa memilih kamu atau dia, karena semua tak pasti. Setiap laki-laki pasti punya keinginan untuk mendapatkan perempuan ideal. Sedangkan aku? Aku hanya perempuan yang sudah tak memiliki kriteria ideal tersebut.

Mungkin yang terbaik adalah membiarkan aku sendiri, melepaskan aku dan biarkan aku memilih jalanku sendiri. Walaupun nanti aku salah memilih dan akhirnya tersakiti, aku mohon kau jangan pedulikan aku dan jangan berempati terhadapku.

Aku hargai semua perhatian dan pengorbanan serta perasaanmu terhadapku. Terimakasih kau sudah sering membantu dan mengajarkanku banyak hal tentang kehidupan, aku tak akan melupakan semua itu. Maafkan aku, karena aku tak bisa menjadi perempuan yang kau harapkan.
