New Bern

The black and white steel engraving depicts a scene from the Battle of New Bern. Several soldiers fight on foot, and several American flags can be seen. More soldiers are pictured in the background.

Da Discussão ao Objeto

Este artigo reflete sobre a passagem da categoria Discussão à categoria Objeto na Lógica da filosofia e sobre a retomada da Discussão pelo Objeto. Essas categorias são ilustradas, respectivamente, pelas atitudes de Sócrates e de Platão. Minha hipótese é que se o Sócrates da Discussão é uma criação de Platão do Objeto, então a retomada da Discussão pelo Objeto constitui um caso único na Lógica da filosofia em que a antiga categoria é produzida pela nova e a nova atitude, gerada pela antiga, a ultrapassa e a conserva na ação.Cet article réfléchit sur le passage de la catégorie de la Discussion à la catégorie de l’Ob­jet dans la Logique de la philosophie et sur la reprise de la Discussion par l’Objet. Ces catégo­ries sont illustrées respectivement par les attitudes de Socrate et de Platon. Mon hypothèse est que si le Socrate de la Discussion est une création du Platon de l’Objet, alors la reprise de la Discussion par l’Objet est un cas unique dans la Logique de la philosophie dans lequel l’ancienne catégorie est produite par la nouvelle et la nouvelle attitude, engendrée par l’ancienne, la dépasse et la préserve dans l’action

Strategies to improve employee financial intelligence

South African employees are largely indebted, with the majority of their disposable income used to service debt. The potential causes of this problem include the levels of education of individuals, how investors perceive the political climate in the country, levels of disposable income and the spending habits of individuals. This study aims to assist organisations to improve employee financial intelligence by investigating what influences financial intelligence. To ascertain these influences, the respondents’ level of financial literacy is to be determined as well. Financial literacy is assessed by determining a respondents’ knowledge of numeracy, risk diversification, compound interest and inflation. Additional factors such as debt management, saving culture and access to digital information too have an impact on financial literacy. An empirical study, consisting of a questionnaire was conducted among employees of a state-owned enterprise (SOE) in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. These employees represent both the management and junior employee profiles. The study found that 75% of the respondents were not financially literate. Financial literacy rates globally are at 51%, however, in a major emerging economy such as South Africa, the rate is between 48% and 51%. The results of the study however indicate that it is much lower than the global average as well as for that of similar developing countries. The results of the study indicate that age, gender, job grade, level of education, access to digital information, a savings culture, budgeting and debt management do not significantly influence financial literacy in the context of SouthAfrica.The research indicates that the respondents are, however, willing to learn and be educated to increase their financial knowledge and awareness. Possible strategies which could assist in improving levels of financial intelligence are:•Financial literacy courses offered by employers;•Research undertaken by employees themselves could increase their financial literacy; Employee wellness programmes, such as debt counselling, could improve the financial literacy of employees;•Completion of online courses would improve the employees’ level of financial literacy;•Budgeting and money management courses;•Financial advisors to be appointed by employers;•Debt counselling of employees
