Zajonc' s model proposed that the presence of an audience has the effect of increasing arousal(drive) in performing subjects. Since increased arousal facilitates the elicitation of the dominant response, the presence of an audience will enhance the performance of a skilled individual while causing a decrement in the performance of an unskilled individual.

CONT

The results tended to support Zajonc’s model ... on the easy task subjects high in anxiety did better than subjects low in anxiety. On the difficult task subjects low in anxiety did better than subjects high in anxiety.

NCHBs [Navy Cargo Handling Battalions] operate most effectively when employed solely on ship loading and discharge operations and when each of its 16 seven-man hatch teams is augmented by 7 unskilled or stevedore personnel provided by the supported unit or activity. When augmented with 112 personnel(7 per hatch team), a NCHB can achieve a ship discharge rate of approximately 2880 MTONs per day pier-side, and approximately 1920 MTONs per day discharge rate in-stream.

CONT

Within their hatch teams, battalion personnel in all of the team positions: hatch captain, hold boss, crane operator, signalman and stevedore, practiced the skills necessary to demonstrate their competence during next year’s assessment. Hatch team coordination, safety, crane operation, signaling, tag line handling, hatch cover heavy-lifts, and container lifts were just a few of the skills practiced.

  • Furnaces and Ovens (Metallurgy)

The sweat furnace is ubiquitous and useful in aluminum recycling because it provides a cheap means to separate aluminum from waste and other metals (mainly ferrous). But the sweat furnace represents outdated technology and is difficult to control as to the quality of sweated alloy it produces, the energy it wastes and the emissions it releases into the environment.

CONT

Originally conceived for the purpose of separating aluminum from iron, particularly in composite parts and assemblies(eg. an automotive piston), the sweat furnace also separates aluminum from mixed waste, including, dirt, rock, glass, rubber, plastics and other organics. First cost of the furnace is low, it can be operated by unskilled labour and it compacts loose and bulky scrap into a solid "pig" or "sow" for transportation to the secondary smelter.

Most steel manufacturers supply prefabricated module tank panels for quick on-site erection by relatively unskilled labour.

One specializing in the recruitment and selection of middle and senior executives on behalf of client companies. These consultants are normally expert in selection techniques, including psychological testing and interviewing and assessment procedures. They usually handle recruitment advertising as an integral part of their recruitment and selection service. Often, they act as a kind of broker between applicant and prospective employer, sometimes undertaking not to divulge the applicant's name and identity to the prospective employer until and unless the applicant gives permission. In the case of vacancies for very senior appointments, a selection consultant may act as a so-called head-hunter or executive search consultant, seeking out suitable people in other firms rather than advertising for applicants in the conventional way. Selection consultants are usually independent organizations or individuals, or they may be Government sponsored bodies such as the Professional and Executive Recruitment service(PER) in the UK. A distinction should normally be made between selection consultants and employment agencies, these latter organizations being largely concerned with introducing office staff and unskilled or semi-skilled manual staff to prospective employers.
