Motivation is a process that start, guides and keeps the goal-oriented behavior of a person. Motivation is what causes us to do something and it is because of a reason behind our action like getting a glass of juice to cut thirst. And motivation is very important in handling a person especially in the field of management. Motivation drives an employee to show his or her full potential on a certain job. However before you can motivate that person, it is very important also to know the basic, especially his or her needs. But what are these needs?

Some people might confuse regarding their status/condition on their current employer. I know most of you heard about the Probationary status, Regular or even Temporary in your company’s Human Resource Department. But what are these terms and how can you say that you are on that status? Is it necessary that you should know about these conditions?

Regular Employee

A regular employee or permanent employee is a person who passed through a probationary period of employment. Regular employee is placed on the regular rolls/activity of the company or one who is assigned to perform work directly related to the regular operations of the firm. A regular employee is employed without a definite period and the employer may not terminate his services except for a just cause or when authorized by law. And they even receive benefits like healthcare, holidays, sick leave, etc.

What is “Employment without a definite period”?

An employment is deemed to be without definite period where the employee has been hired without any specific date of termination or period of employment.

Probationary employee

A probationary employee or worker is a person hired to occupy permanent or regular position in the company for a specified trial period to prove if he is acceptable for the job. The probationary period is usually from three to six months or even a year. This period is important to determine employee’s fitness for the job or for learning the job.

The probationary period is a span/period of time during which the employee is under observation on his actual job. It aims to help the new employee learn valuable concepts and to prove or show his potential on the company’s job or for regularization during his first several months of work experience.  Probationary Employee could be dismissed without a probable cause. Also, the employer and the employee should agree or there will be an agreement between the two regarding the probationary period.

Temporary Employee

An employee hired to perform work in a specific project, job, or period, upon completion of which the worker’s employment is terminated. Failure to terminate the employee on or before the expiration of the period of contract or completion of the job, in the case of temporary or casual employment, or of a probationary employment may qualify the employee for regular or permanent employment.

Contractual Employee

A contractual employee is hired on an individual employment contract basis to perform work on a specific project. The duration of such employment is indicated in the employment contract, which may not exceed six months. It is an employment based on contract.

Casual Employee

An employee hired for only a few days or few months at a time to work/perform a unit of work or to fill a gap in the absence of another employee, or a worker who is hired occasionally and intermittently especially during peak production periods. Casual employees may or may not possess special trade skills or qualifications; they are not in the permanent payroll of the same employer.

All of us wanted to destroy the stronghold of corruption. Here’s “Boto mo iPatrol Mo” campaign of ABS-CBN that persuade the people to show the results of injustice or caught-in-the-act scene of corruption. But despite this campaign, still not all the people have the guts or the technology and still the justice is elusive. What are the reasons why still people can’t find the justice and can’t fight the corruption on their own place?

Power of the Person/Company

If you’re just an ordinary person fighting a BIG person or BIG company, it is a hard fight for you to overcome or to win. There are people who are very silent even though the corruption is already in front of them.  Others said, “Just close your mouth; they might hear you and you will be dead!” People are afraid to those who have powers and cannot fight equally.

Underground Agreement

There was an incident and it is about a worker that despite of their effort s in working on this company they didn’t have the right salary; no overtime payment although they had, no benefits despite of a very long time service on the company.  They visited a government office to consult about their problem, but, unfortunately this office had an underground meeting with their unjust company. Still the justice is very blurry.

Others will might say, “it’s a common topic, corruption again?” and my answer to that is “Yes” but you might didn’t know the procedures and why corruption and injustice still exist here in our country, because we failed to know the minor parts. We failed to see what really happened why people prefer to commit crimes than working on a descent job.

This is the time that companies and also blogger increase their online presence in China.
The president of online media business at internet portal Tencent, Lau Seng Yee, gave an incredible list of reasons why companies should hug online media and the digital ecosystem at Ad Age's Digital Conference.

Information from Business Insider

1. China has 513 million online users right now
2. 164,000 new Chinese join the internet everyday
3. Approximately 1.3 billion hours are spent online everyday in China.
4. China has more Android and iOS subscription than the U.S.
5. There were 1.74 billion RMB ($276 million) in sales of virtual goods in China 2011.
6. People take social media seriously: He cited a negative review of a refrigerator that was retweeted 170 times.
7. About 370,000 people are playing online mahjong at any time (we're sure someone will find that useful.)

Lau said that, it's pretty impressive for a country that offered its first in-home telephone land lines a mere 17 years ago. He also said that, the internet has unleashed the power of guanxi.

Guanxi is a Chinese tradition where it refers to the chain of connection where the connection that people make in person.

According to Lau, it has redefined everything we have known about connections....there are no more strangers in the world. He added, It also change the social dynamics where "consumers are now the emperors.

As we all know, China's form of government is turning into Capitalism, although until now they are still a Communist country. Social Media is now on its maturity state and people nowadays are dependent (but not 100 percent) on internet because of its capability to share, give information and to compute.
