Comments and Constructive Criticism
The article has extensively deliberated on the negatives of training as well as employee
satisfaction and motivation. Training is indeed one-way of equipping employs with requisite

skills and knowledge for them to remain productive. However, training sometimes can be
expensive and a negative aspect on the organization especially if the training is not adding value
to the organization (Bersin, 2014)). Training is as well expensive on the side o the organization
and therefore, it becomes importance to establish the need of the training before providing it. On
the job training is an option for many organization to reduce their budget and ensure that their
employees have the requisite skills (VanScheers & Botha, 2014). When it comes to employee
satisfaction and commitment, the article has as expansively deliberated on some of the causes of
this. Many factors indeed cause stress and dissatisfaction among employees such as gender and
work environment. Leadership as well contributes to stress among employees and this can be
managed if leaders play their roles well. I therefore find this article well written and referenced.
Ideas and views come from diverse sources hence, an indication of well-researched arguments. It
is therefore, prudent, that organizations prioritize their goals and have a clear understanding of
where they want to go. This will help them formulate appropriate policies to enable them come
up with policies to stir them forward.

Article 2
Indeed accountability and corruption are major problems that many institutions and
entities face. It is the responsibility of every individual to remain accountable to his or her
actions. Furthermore, I do conquer with the article that accountability integrated a number of
disciplines such as performance management, control system, public administration, corruption,
and leadership. Leaders for instance, play a critical role in ensuring accountability in their
institutions. A transformational leader is able to create a good environment build on trust
(Balthazard, Waldman, Warren, 2009). Such leaders therefore, ensure that systems and controls
do not condone corrupt behaviors. I therefore, find the article articulate, clear and on the point.
The definition of accountability and corruption are expansive. Incorporating examples of
institutions such and Transparency International make the article more concrete (Ata & Arves,
2011; Cohen & Wright, 2010). Furthermore, the views are derived from multiple sources making
the arguments strong.
