Employee development and its effect on employee performance at KFC Restaurant Brands

Employees are a key element of the organisation. The success or failure of the organisation depends on employee performance. Therefore, organisations are investing huge amount of money on employee development. This paper analyses the theoretical framework and models related to employee development and its effect on employee performance. The key variables identified related to employee development and employee performance. Further discussion develops a proposed model which explains the relationship between employee development variables (employee learning, skill growth, self-directed, employee attitude) and employee performance variables Employee performance will impact on organisational effectiveness. The paper is divided into three parts. The introductory part provides a brief overview related to employee development and its effect on employee performance. The second part analyses the views and studies of past researchers related to employee development and employee performance. Finally, this paper presents the proposed model along with the discussion and conclusion

TRIBOELECTRIC NANOGENERATORS (TENG): FACTORS AFFECTING ITS EFFICIENCY AND APPLICATIONS

The demand for energy is increasing tremendously with modernization of the technology and requires new sources of renewable energy. The triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) are capable of harvesting ambient energy and converting it into electricity with the process of triboelectrification and electrostatic-induction. TENG can convert mechanical energy available in the form of vibrations, rotation, wind and human motions etc., into electrical energy there by developing a great scope for scavenging large scale energy. In this review paper, we have discussed various modes of operation of TENG along with the various factors contributing towards its efficiency and applications in wearable electronics

A CRITICAL REVIEW ON THE MATERIAL ASPECTS OF TRIBOELECTRIC NANOGENERATORS (TENG)

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) take the advantage of coupling effect for harvesting energy in the area of electronics for various self-powered applications. These nanogenerators are capable of converting energy in our surroundings into electrical energy by using the process of electrostatic induction and contact electrification. Triboelectric layers of a TENG are formed basically with the use of various polymers, metals and other inorganic materials like PTFE (Poly tetra fluoro ethylene), PDMS (polydimethyl siloxane), FEP (Fluorinated ethylene propylene) and Kapton. Selection of different materials for the device fabrication is very important since it contribute towards the triboelectric effect and also forms the fundamental structure for the proposed TENG device. In this review article, we emphasis mainly on various triboelectric materials considering factors such as stability, flexibility, power density etc., to improve upon the electrical output of the devices for different applications
