Full textConsidering that transitions must have special attention as they could represent the bridges for changes in professional and social life, this research has the purpose of investigating the strategies used by individuals and the way psychological resources were accessed by them as well. Researching this theme among middle age professionals, has a view to contribute in a very differential way, particularly because these individuals are going through psychological and behavioral impacting changes that probably will affect their professional life, giving birth to the so called career Reinvention. Therefore, seven subjects with ages around 40 and 65 years old were interviewed and their career narratives, were analyzed according to five constructs: self-efficacy, self versus relational focus; motivation; risk taking and control. Very important information such as: achievements, barriers, facilitators were identified in order to allow the readers to think thoroughly about the theme.

Full textThe study aims to investigate the reasons underlying women's career changes through academic studies. We try to give a new perspective on women’s career choice processes in social science research. Both a quantitative and a qualitative method were used in order to answer our research questions. The two methods complement and reinforce each other while providing a more nuanced picture of the problem area. The quantitative method consisting of a questionnaire addressed a number of selected female students at StockholmUniversity. The qualitative study is based on interviews with six respondents selected from the survey. Processing and analysis are based on the results from the survey and the individual interviews with the support of appropriate career choice methods and theories. The results show that the causes of women's career changes are the turning points of either a volunteer or forced character. Women's action horizon, the turnings points and routines are influenced by their habitus, previous experiences and were they are in life. Our conclusion is that women's educational and career choices primarily are an interest and a career strategy as well an effort to increase the quality of life.

Full textFindings challenge longstanding assumptions of linearity and continuity in turnover decision processes, as well as the conventional wisdom that utility-maximizing logic underlies these decisions. The data suggest that the pursuit of context-self congruence is a driving force in stay/leave decision processes, and that self-concept, emotions and psychological states may be under-studied influencers of these decisions. Results further uncover decision process characteristics previously rendered inaccessible to researchers, due to the predominant use of correlational studies in turnover research. These characteristics include: a) pivotal points of transition; b) the story lines that underlie influencing factors; c) the nature and role of context; and d) the consequences of engaging in these decision processes, for participants and for their workplaces, regardless of the outcome.
This idiographic study, using a purposive sample from a single population of Quebec physicians, is intended to provide turnover researchers with a starting point for cross-group retrospective and longitudinal comparisons. It also aims to stimulate hypothesis generation that accounts for time and the contextual conditions under which particular factors are likely to affect the turnover decision. From a practical viewpoint, this thesis begins to answer the call from Canadian and Quebec Health Care Human Resource specialists for a deeper understanding of the psychosocial aspects of Canadian healthcare worker turnover and retention (British Columbia Office of the Auditor General, 2004; Dubois & Dussault, 2002).

O presente estudo buscou analisar os impactos das fusões e aquisições sobre o comprometimento organizacional dos empregados, que vêm participando na trajetória dessas mudanças: focaliza Intervenção do Banco Central do Brasil em agosto de 1995, no Banco Econômico S/A, que passou pela fusão com o Banco Excel S/A - Excel Econômico, pela aquisição do Banco Bilbao Vizcaya, espanhol, até a última aquisição pelo Bradesco. Compara as distintas estratégias de enfrentamento desse fenômeno e, adicionalmente avalia os impactos das constantes mudanças que a empresa enfrentou nos últimos 8 anos. Assim, ao investigar efeitos de aquisições e mudanças sobre o comprometimento organizacional, utilizou-se o modelo tríplice de Meyer; Allen (1991), com suas bases afetiva, normativas e instrumentais. Aplicou-se um questionário aos empregados – entrevista estruturada, com tratamentos estatístico das respostas e a preocupação na análise dos dados em articular as mudanças de um banco para outro com os níveis de comprometimento. Os resultados apontam níveis altos tanto do comprometimento instrumental quanto do afetivo, e reforçam a importância cada vez maior do comprometimento com a carreira (consigo mesmo) no que diz respeito à qualificação, empregabilidade e visão de mercado. A ênfase no comprometimento com a carreira, revelou a dimensão que o trabalho e o emprego assumem na vida das pessoas, reafirmada principalmente a partir do momento em que os “sobreviventes” vão permanecendo no processo. Espera-se que esta pesquisa dentro dos limites previstos, contribua para outras discussões que aprofundem o comprometimento com o trabalho.

Full textThe United States Army is making changes in the Officer Education System for 2nd lieutenants to majors. These changes affect the size of Transient, Holdee and Student account (THS). The current Officer Basic Course changes to a two-phased system called Basic Officer Leadership Course (BOLC II and III). A twenty-week Captains' Career Course (CCC) replaces the current CCC and Combined Arms and Service Staff School (CAS3). Currently, Command and General Staff College (CGSC), where 50% of a year group attends resident CGSC, shifts to a two-phased approach with a Common Core Course and a Career Field Qualification Course. This thesis includes an Excel simulation model producing monthly predictions for six years for officers in THS account because of schooling. Assignments are Permanent Change of Station (PCS), Temporary Duty (TDY) Enroute, or TDY and Return. Therefore, if 30% of majors attend Officer Education System (OES) as a PCS or TDY Enroute, the THS account sees a man-year increase of between 166 and 552 personnel. For CCC, if 30% of captains attend CCC as PCS/TDY Enroute, THS shows a man-year decrease of between 1162 and 1171. When the new BOLC education system was simulated, the THS account showed a man-year increase of between 172 and 242 when compared to the current OBC.
