Factors Affecting Employee Motivation Towards Employee Performance: A Study on Banking Industry of Pakistan

The study provides the cognitive support for developing employee’s motivation level at optimized level through consciousness towards applied approach and unrealistic ideas. The diligence of the research is to present the factors that help to motivate the employees to perform their job well. Whereas, the study restrains empirical and descriptive analysis of variables which comprehensibly highlight the significant relationship among the independent variable and dependent variable; the close-ended questionnaire is constructed to compute the statistical data. The study identifies the strong relationship among the defined factors that enhance the employee’s motivation level in banking sector. Although the research is also aware the management and the managers of banks about the most preference factors that improves the employee motivation in the banks. This study valued the integrating knowledge, experience, action to groom skilled employees in the banks. Moreover, the main contribution of the research evaluating the role of the motivational factors in banking industry

The influence of cultivation methods on Shewanella oneidensis physiology and proteome expression

High-throughput analyses that are central to microbial systems biology and ecophysiology research benefit from highly homogeneous and physiologically well-defined cell cultures. While attention has focused on the technical variation associated with high-throughput technologies, biological variation introduced as a function of cell cultivation methods has been largely overlooked. This study evaluated the impact of cultivation methods, controlled batch or continuous culture in bioreactors versus shake flasks, on the reproducibility of global proteome measurements in Shewanellaoneidensis MR-1. Variability in dissolved oxygen concentration and consumption rate, metabolite profiles, and proteome was greater in shake flask than controlled batch or chemostat cultures. Proteins indicative of suboxic and anaerobic growth (e.g., fumarate reductase and decaheme c-type cytochromes) were more abundant in cells from shake flasks compared to bioreactor cultures, a finding consistent with data demonstrating that “aerobic” flask cultures were O2 deficient due to poor mass transfer kinetics. The work described herein establishes the necessity of controlled cultivation for ensuring highly reproducible and homogenous microbial cultures. By decreasing cell to cell variability, higher quality samples will allow for the interpretive accuracy necessary for drawing conclusions relevant to microbial systems biology research
