Salaries and promotion opportunities in the English banking industry, 1890–1936: a rejoinder

The article is a rejoinder to Andrew J. Seltzer's article, published in Business History in August 2010, which critiqued an article published in May 2008 on the topic of clerical salaries in London, 1870–1914. It examines trends in salaries and promotions of branch clerks at the London, County and Westminster Bank and at the National Provincial Bank, and focuses on the London area for the period 1880–1913. It argues that salaries increased between 1880 and 1895 and then declined from 1895 to 1913. Adjusting for tenure and inflation, salaries were approximately at the same level in 1913 as they were in 1880. It also examines the relationship between tenure and salary, linking both to the rise of internal labour markets in Britain's large retail banks.

Determining Work Culture Scores for Fourteen Developed Nations

Abstract

As business relationships become increasingly global in nature, a new methodology for understanding the approach to work in various nations is needed. When involved in business dealings with international partners, it is crucial that the modern businessperson understand and empathize with the culture of the company with which he or she is working. The author demonstrates a new methodology which allows comparison and categorization of nations by calculating a new metric called the Work Culture Score for each nation. This metric allows mathematical comparison between business attitudes in various cultures. It incorporates the average annual hours, percentage of overtime, worker productivity, and attitudes toward work and leisure of a culture into a single, meaningful value. This study applies the newly developed metric to fourteen developed nations.     

Reassessing the Structure of Enduring Leisure Involvement

The study compared the importance of spending time in interacting with nature to other leisure activities regarding recovery from work demands. In addition, a multiple mediation model between time spent in interacting with nature and need for recovery through four mediators was tested. Employees of five organizations answered a questionnaire (N = 527). Exercise and being outdoors during free-time was evaluated as the most effective activity for recovery from work stress, and the time spent in interacting with nature was mentioned as second in importance. Time spent in exercise and being outdoors, life satisfaction, and relaxation mediated significantly the relationship between time spent in interacting with nature and need for recovery from work.
