 as well. However, we had very few participants recruited by paid media, making its cost per enrolled participant quite high. In contrast to paid media, we found that unpaid media (such as coverage stemming from press releases) had the lowest cost per enrolled out of all strategies. This emphasizes the importance of using free advertising and building trust with local communities to help with the promotion of study recruitment [14]. Media coverage seemed to generate immediate interest in the study that was not sustained over time. It is quite clear that the first major press release in March 2016, which garnered much interest in unpaid print and online media, generated a clear spike in initial contacts.
Our analysis has some limitations that merit discussion. First, due to the contextual nature of this work, the findings of this study may only be generalizable to researchers studying a similar population (low-income seniors with chronic diseases) who are offering the possibility of a tangible benefit to study participants (i.e., free medications). Furthermore, the specific costs, and particularly those related to human resources, are highly contextual. Other researchers should anticipate that the exact costs of specific strategies will vary within their own locations, but the relative costs should be generalizable to all settings of similar studies. Second, we do not have detailed information on why individuals declined to participate, which could be useful in the future to modify recruitment approaches. Third, we were unable to account for the impact that media promotion may have had on other recruitment strategies. It is possible that a number of health care providers, senior outreach workers, and friends and family members who referred participants to our study initially heard about it from media sources. Similarly, participants might have heard about the study from multiple sources, but only called the study after the most recent contact. Therefore, the reach of some strategies may have been underestimated. Finally, this quantitative analysis does not offer any insights into why some strategies were more effective or how success was achieved. This would necessitate a qualitative inquiry, which may be informative to researchers -such an analysis has been conducted by our team separately [25].A fireplace seat wall is a favorite spot for relaxing, and it’s the center of warm conversations when you entertain. An outdoor fireplace stands as a beacon to living well in the backyard, but it doesn’t have to stand alone. If you’re pulling up lawn chairs to enjoy the glow, consider a permanent alternative. A fireplace seat wall makes everyone feel at home, and it’s a beautiful addition to the landscape. Here are 3 benefits for a fireplace seat wall that will transform your backyard and add value to your home.
Extended Design –Everyone feels drawn to the flickering flames in an outdoor fireplace, but sitting on a small hearth quickly becomes a heated experience. A seat wall design widens that space to several comfortable feet. By adding length to the additional width, you create extra seating on both sides of the fireplace. You don’t have to think in straight lines to extend the hearth. Fireplace seating built with stone pavers can wrap around a patio with graceful curves to create a semi-circle. It can snake around planted areas and even include a backrest. A wide variety of paver sizes, shapes and colors offers unlimited design options.
Solid Construction –An outdoor fireplace seating installation doesn’t uproot the landscape or call for major excavation. After laying out the area, your paver contractor prepares an appropriate base that supports stone paver construction on an existing concrete or lawn surface. An experienced paver installer determines any need for drainage and then builds in layers secured with stonework construction adhesive. Special attention is given to the details that make this type of bench seating so attractive. Alternating paver sizes, mixing colors and adding custom insets are just a few decorative options, and comfortable capstones top off the finished construction.
Surprising Benefits –Installing an attractive fireplace seat wall widens your entertaining horizons with surprising benefits. If central Florida downpours tend to flood the backyard, a quality stone paver seat wall controls and redirects runoff. The material holds on to its natural good looks for years with weather-proof durability. A well-designed seat wall establishes a sense of space that encloses without shutting out the view. When neighbors drop by, everyone has a place to sit, and you enjoy extra seclusion when you have the fireplace all to yourself. Stone paver seat walls turn the outside into an outdoor room that complements its surroundings while providing you with a private retreat.
Every backyard is unique, but every outdoor fireplace becomes even more inviting with a professionally designed seat wall. Also, seat walls can be used without a fireplace. If you are always entertaining and need additional seating, seat walls are ideal to keep everyone together in one area.

The fact produced by this research is that job satisfaction is co related with productivity. There is no dispute in the correlation of satisfaction of job with productivity but on the contrary, there is no as such evidence related to it. There are three ways of explaining the correlation. When one employee is more satisfied towards hi job then he becomes more productive too. Thus, when he becomes productive it becomes a source of contentment for them with their job. Last but not the least, when the job matching is high with the employee then he will experience more job satisfaction and thus will be productive.
All three of the above facts are important for human resource practitioners but which one is the most important can vary from one to other. If the first fact becomes the most important for the human resource practitioner or an employee than he would strive for making their work more skilled and full of variety so as to enjoy his workplace and nature of job. When one believes, that second fact is important; than he would work on the optimization of process in order to increase productivity. Lastly for the third fact to be believed employer should work effectively on the recruitment process for the optimization of job fit.
Before measuring job satisfaction in an organization, the employer and HR specialists must decide which fact to be followed and how to use the desired result. The understanding of job’s natured and its result to work performance is not an easy job. Since last fifty years, many psychologists are striving to find out the answer to the question regarding the correlation of satisfaction of job with its performance. Many researchers have put a lot of effort in concluding the positive correlation that a content worker is a productive one too. Although this seems to be a great idea in particular but on the contrary some researcher states that result associated to it is inconclusive and there is no basic relationship. This research describes the relationship of performance and satisfaction of job.
The concept of job satisfaction is difficult to understand and have multi meaning to different people. It is mostly linked with employee’s motivation but the relationship between the two is vague. Satisfaction differs from motivation. Satisfaction of job is more associated towards attitude which is internal. It can be linked with an individual’s feeling of achievement which can be qualitative as well as quantitative. Recently, job satisfaction is more linked with an improvement to designing of job and its organization and quality of job life. This relationship of performance and satisfaction of job is a debatable issue and more of a controversy. On one hand, it is seen that satisfaction results to productive performance whereas on the other hand, it is found that there is just a limited relation in satisfaction and performance.
Disappointment of employees with the management turns to nonappearance and high labor turnover. But other than dissatisfaction, there are many other reasons for absenteeism. There is no simple way in the universe which can help management to reduce the rate of turnover and absence.

The performance of employee is the result of three factors. These factors include motivation, capability of doing a job, its desire and the need for it. Other factors are working environment, infrastructure and tools regarding job. If the individual doesn’t have the required ability, it can be replaced by any other worker. If the environment has a certain issue, the employer can make adjustments for the promotion of higher performance. When motivation is considered as a problem than off course the manager‘s job is pretty much challenging than other subordinates. On the other hand, the behavior of an individual is a separate phenomenon which can differ from individual to individual. This cannot be understood by the manager because of its behavior and therefore he cannot help the individual to solve his problem. In a nutshell, motivation plays a significant role because it might have a negative influence on performance having an intangible nature.
There is a limit of highest productivity and the duration maintained to that work. When
