Abstract

This paper presents the key‐results from a two‐year research project which focused on the motivation and developmental preferences of high flyers. High flyers were found to have a particularly strong desire to be in a position of authority and control, but their concerns were mainly about working to the best of their ability and making efforts to master new skills. They were found to be more motivated by competition with themselves than by competition with others. Surprisingly, they were no more motivated by the desire for material and financial rewards than the general population. The research also asked which development tools high flyers had found most useful. Mentoring was considered the most valuable, with job rotation and 360° feedback also rated very high. Commonly used development processes, such as career development resources and technical training, were viewed unfavourably by a significant proportion of the respondents.

Abstract

International audience; Each year from February through July, Chelonia mydas (green turtles) and Dermochelys coriacea (leatherback turtles) come to nest on Awala-Yalimapo beach. During the nesting season, the presence of gravid turtles may directly affect the general morphology of the beach by provoking sand remobilization during firstly the conception of their nest and then during the nest disguising. Digital elevation models were realized to qualify and quantify the topographic modification conducted by the macro-bioturbation effect of marine turtles. Green turtles and leatherback turtles do not provoke the same perturbation on the beach. C. mydas affect the upper part of the beach by constructing their nest. Whereas D.coriacea provoke more important impact on the lower upper-beach when they come to lay. During the covering activity leatherback tend to disturb the morphology of the beach around their nests. Morphological changes on the beach during the nesting season draw attention to the potential effect of animal on their terrestrial habitat.
