beniza, Abderrahmane. "Culture organisationnelle et culture participative dans les entreprises algériennes." Paris 9, 1987. https://portail.bu.dauphine.fr/fileviewer/index.php?doc=1987PA090046.
Abstract:
Au court de ce travail, nous tenterons d'analyser les deux modes de production qui ont dominé la scène politico-économique en Algérie. Ces deux modes coïncident avec l'instauration du socialisme ; il s'agit en l'occurrence du socialisme autogestionnaire et du socialisme technocratique. Nous essayerons de voir en premier lieu, si le dernier cite a été un dépassement qualitatif dans la démocratisation de l'entreprise, par le libre jeu de la participation soutenue et effective des travailleurs. Pour cela nous verrons de plus près les structures mises en place par chacun des systèmes de production. Nous appréhenderons le climat politique et idéologique général, la souplesse ainsi que la rigidité de l'environnement social, la répartition du pouvoir, ainsi que l'instauration d'un débat social ainsi que sa spécialisation systématique par la négociation individuelle ou/et collective. Cela nous permet en filigrane, de voir si le socialisme technocratique est la réponse souhaitée aux problèmes du travail en Algérie. Cette politique règle t-elle les problèmes de hiérarchie dans l'entreprise ? Met-elle fin aux conflits latents ou patents qui surviennent dans le procès du travail ? Le socialisme technocratique était-il venu pallier aux insuffisances caractérisées du socialisme autogestionnaire ou est-ce que cela se limite à une simple substitution d'un ordre social par un autre, répondant ainsi à une opportunité politico - idéologique, légitimant l'intervention de l'état dans le paysage économiqueIn this work, we will try to analyse the two different output systems which prevailed in the political and economical scene. The two systems match with the establishment of socialism, and in the present circumstances of the self - managing and technocrat socialism - first of all, we will try to examine wether the latter mentioned was a qualitative surpassing in the democratisation of the entreprise through the free effective participation of the workers. In that way we will consider thoroughly the structures built each of the output systems. We will look into the overall political and ideological atmosphere the flexibility as well as the establishment of a social discussion as its systematic specialisation through individual or general negociation. This will enable us, between the lines, to see wether the technocrate socialism is required answer to the problem of work in algerie. Does this policy settle the secular problem of the hierarchy in the entreprise? Does it put an end to the obvious and latent conflicts arising in the process of work? Must technocrat socialism mitigate the characterized lacks of the self managing socilism? Or is this simply a substitution of a social order through another one corresponding therefore to a political and ideological opportunity authorizing the state's intervention into the political scene

Roth, Yannig. "Comprendre la participation des internautes au crowdsourcing : une étude des antécédents de l'intention de participation à une plateforme créative." Thesis, Paris 1, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA01E003/document.
Abstract:
L’objectif de ce travail doctoral est de mieux comprendre la participation des internautes au crowdsourcing d’activités créatives, souvent employé dans le marketing pour générer de nouvelles idées d’innovation et de communication. Après avoir défini et conceptuellement délimité le terme de crowdsourcing, nous proposons une revue de littérature au sujet des participants et de leurs motivations de participation. Nous présentons ensuite les résultats de trois études exploratoires visant à compléter notre compréhension du profil des participants et des facteurs influençant leur participation sur une plateforme de crowdsourcing. La revue de littérature et les résultats de nos études exploratoires nous permettent ensuite de proposer et de tester un modèle théorique, basé sur la Théorie du Comportement Planifié (TCP), grâce à un questionnaire envoyé aux membres de la plateforme eYeka. L’analyse de 1 261 réponses et le croisement avec des données secondaires révèlent que l’intention de participation est prédite par l’attitude envers le brief (qui est elle-même expliquée par l’autonomie perçue) et l’attitude envers la plateforme, mais pas par l’attitude envers la marque initiatrice du concours. La pression des proches est également positivement et significativement liée à l’intention de participation, mais les variables culturelles n’ont pas les effets modérateurs que nous proposons. Finalement, nous trouvons que l’intention de participation prédit positivement la participation effective, et ce lien est modéré par la situation professionnelle de l’internaute. Nous terminons notre travail par une discussion des résultats et des propositions de recherches à envisager dans le futurThe objective of this thesis is to better understand the participation of internet users in creative crowdsourcing activities, which is often used in marketing to generate new innovation and/or communication ideas. After providing a definition and a conceptual delimitation of the term, we propose a literature review about the participants and their motivations to contribute. We then present the results of three exploratory studies which help us better understanding who these participants are and what influences their participation on a crowdsourcing platform. This literature review and the results of our exploratory studies then allow us to propose a theoretical model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and to test it with a questionnaire sent to eYeka community members. The analysis of 1,261 responses as well as secondary data reveals that participation intention is predicted by the members’ attitude towards the brief (which is, in turn, best predicted by the task’s perceived autonomy) and the attitude towards the platform, but not by the attitude towards the brand which sponsors of the contest. Peer pressure is another antecedent to be positively and significantly correlated to participation intention, but the hypothesized moderating effect of cultural variables is not verified. Finally, we find that participation intention positively predicts effective participation, and that this relationship is moderated by the professional status of the individual. We end our work with a discussion of our results and by outlining future research proposals for academics to consider

Abstract:
In assessing the rapid emergence of Middlesbrough as a nineteenth century ‘boom town’, Asa Briggs’ seminal Victorian Cities pointed to the centrality of the early businessmen and industrialists in the growth of ‘a new community’. The Quaker pioneers and the early ironmasters established the manufacturing basis of mid-Victorian Middlesbrough and dominated the Ironopolis’ early business associations, municipal institutions and political organisations. In contrast to the leading mid-century industrialists at the heart of urban governance in the manufacturing town, Briggs contended that the second and third generations of industrialist families failed to fill the void left behind by their retired or deceased fathers, instead abandoning the urban sphere and following the pattern of other English businessmen by choosing to live in the country rather than the town. This apparent urban ‘withdrawal’ aligned with what Wiener has considered a ‘decline in the industrial spirit’ amidst the adoption of a gentrified lifestyle, has been assumed rather than proven, with little exploration of the spatial dynamics of the industrial elites’ interactions with urban space.2 This thesis challenges the extent of elite ‘withdrawal’ by assessing wider spheres of urban governance hitherto underexplored, contributing an improved understanding of the wider social dynamic of urban life and industrial elites with emphasise on challenging the extent of declining urban engagement. Drawing upon newly accessible archival evidence and focusing on late nineteenth and early twentieth century Middlesbrough as a case study, it is contended that this period, most closely associated with declining urban engagement, was instead one of realignment and reconfiguration of urban authority and industrialist participation. By exploring the composition and makeup of Middlesbrough’s charitable, commercial, civic and cultural life during this period, it will be shown how country house-residing elites continued to be engaged with the industrial centre and played an important role by establishing new infrastructure, institutions and organisations. Moreover, through exploring the hitherto underexplored semi-private realm of Middlesbrough’s steel magnates beyond the town in their country estates and the surrounding villages of the North Yorkshire countryside, it is argued the country house and rural sphere served as arenas for extending interactions with urban interests spanning business, associational, cultural and philanthropic activity.

Abstract:
The objective of this thesis is to critically examine the notion that "participation" and the other catch phrases found within the language of grass roots development, namely "people's participation", "popular participation", "participatory democracy", "bottom-up" and "self-help" development, etc. are a panaces for development. The position that will be taken is that these concepts and ideas are often "western" in origin and are not always in accordance with the existing structures and socio-cultural values and realities of a given non-western society. In effect, this research will examine and analyse how culture can be seen (from a western perspective) to be an impediment or obstacles to the ideals of "participation" and "grass roots" development, and to critically question and reflect upon the concept of participation and grass roots development in Bangladesh.

Abstract:
Despite the large number of studies of organisation culture, there are still gaps in the current literature, in particular concerning the way in which culture is defined, how values are disseminated and reinforced, and how employees contribute to culture change. This thesis examines these gaps via research carried out in two local councils in New South Wales, namely Wollondilly and Wingecarribee Shire Councils, specifically focusing on their tourism departments. The research reports on the following: how organisation culture is defined and shaped in an organisation; the values of an organisation and how they are disseminated and reinforced on a day-to-day basis; and, the contribution employees make to culture change. Moreover, the thesis will examine the organisational members own definition of culture as a way of examining some of the definitions in the literature. The data for this study comprises interviews, questionnaires, surveys, personal observation and secondary sources. The study demonstrates council staff’s views on culture, and how culture is defined by, and embedded in, an organisation. Through examining the organisation members’ own views of culture, values and their participation, the thesis aims to contribute to the literature on organisation culture by more closely aligning definitions from the literature with empirical data from case studies of organisationsMasters in Commerce (Honours)

Mateeva, A. "University education and the culture of social participation in Bulgaria." Thesis, University of the West of England, Bristol, 2013. http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/24007/.
Abstract:
This research explores the unconscious processes that occurred on organizational as well as on individual level in an academic institution in Bulgaria when the task for liberalization of higher education system in the country has been set as university mission. Using a combination of action research and psycho-social methods this study focuses mainly on the implementation of four practical interventions in organizational culture that tended to increase the opportunities for more democratic, cooperative and caring relationships between its members. It has been assumed that such kind of change a) will facilitate the process of students’ personal development as socially engaged citizens in opposition to the traditional public passivity and conformity; b) will stimulate staff engagement with its values and mission creating balance with the more individualistic entrepreneurial tendencies in the organization, and c) will encourage more appreciative and supportive student – teacher relationships that could challenge the traditional authoritarian style of education in the country. The analysis of the data is done in this study when exploring three types of relations in the organization: a) the horizontal relations of collaboration within the academic community; b) the powerful hierarchical relations between the formal roles in the organization; and c) the learning relations between teachers and students. The findings demonstrate how a) under the pressures for fast change of role identities and habits during the transition period and b) in the presence of ‘discredited public relations in the mind’ raised during the socialism culture of relationships is co-created by the members that marginalizes the efforts for collaboration, evokes totalitarian type of leadership and deprives the process of learning and change. Some opportunities for overcoming such dynamics are seen in what Lowrence suggests as ‘politics of revelation’ and in the creation of informal spaces for individual and group reflection and dialogue.

Yeganegy, Roxanne. "The politics of participation : Burning Man and British festival culture." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2012. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/6759/.
Abstract:
Numerous industry reports and publications have acknowledged the dramatic transformation of the British music festival industry over the last two decades, with the emergence of what has been described as a new 'boutique' model in festival production. Using a selection of boutique events, this study reveals a nexus of British events culturally aligned with the 'No Spectators' ethos of Nevada's Burning Man. How far it is possible to claim that the politics of Burning Man has transformed participation at festivals in Britain, is a question central to this investigation. Documenting the emergence of a transatlantic politics of participation, this study explores the relationship between Nevada's Burning Man and British festival culture. Firstly, a theoretical chapter surveys literature from interdisciplinary fields, identifying concepts previously utilized in the interpretation of festival and carnival forms. This analysis exposes the differences in audience engagement implied by contrasting carnival types, which form key conceptual frameworks throughout the investigation. Following this preliminary, a discussion of the concert-model event reveals the impetus for 'No Spectators' and critiques uniform interpretations of festival audiences as 'active'. Through the discussion of its milieu, production values and interpretive discourses, an examination of Burning Man exposes a fusion ofparticipative precept and praxis. Retaining a set of indicators for extreme participation, a detailed case study investigation of Cambridgeshire's Secret Garden Party exemplifies an attempt at achieving a similar synthesis. The idealizing discourse of Secret Garden Party is presented as a form of positioning that, despite producing a broader posture of authenticity that rejects commoditization and sponsorship, is subordinated by commercial necessity. Underlining Britain's inevitable de-radicalization of 'No Spectators', these findings are contextualized by a critical examination of the contemporary festival industry and boutique sector, concluding with an action-research-based analysis of the author's own festival, Raisetheroof. The assumption that the participative doctrine of Burning Man is active beyond the boundaries of its own official international network is confirmed by the investigation. The placement of this event as exclusively responsible for the reproduction of 'N 0 Spectators' outside of Secret Garden Party is, however, presented as problematic. This study concludes by recognizing a synergy of demographic, economic and cultural factors responsible both for the emergence of the boutique festival industry, and the idealization of participation discernable within it.

Abstract:
Questa tesi esamina l’impatto della partecipazione ad attività culturali e creative sul benessere psicologico (SWB). Dal punto di vista teorico, abbiamo trovato corrispondenza per il DRAMMA, framework proposto da Newman e colleghi (2014). Per poter testare questa proposta teorica, abbiamo condotto un'ampia review della letteratura, che supporta fortemente la correlazione tra questi bisogni ed il SWB. Da questa review è emerso che le evidenze empiriche in letteratura non supportano ancora una relazione causale tra benessere soggettivo e fruizione culturale. Per questa ragione, abbiamo deciso di effettuare un’ampia revisione della letteratura e una doppia analisi su dati longitudinali, dello Swiss Household Panel (SHP) e del German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). Abbiamo impiegato diverse strategie analitiche per fornire una possibile stima dell’impatto della fruizione culturale sul benessere soggettivo (SWB), con particolare attenzione alle interazioni tra pattern di accesso culturale e altri fattori che sappiamo influenzano il benessere soggettivo. Secondo le nostre analisi, praticare sport, cantare, suonare uno strumento e andare al teatro e/o concerti, hanno un impatto positivo sul benessere soggettivo nel SHP, e andare a teatro/opera/concerti di musica classica e cinema/discoteche/e concerti pop hanno un impatto positivo sul benessere soggettivo nel SOEP.This study attempts to examine the impact of engagement in leisure activities on subjective well-being (SWB). From the theoretical point of view, we found support for the DRAMMA framework proposed by Newman and colleagues (2014). To test their framework, we conducted an extensive review of the literature, finding a strong correlation between those needs and SWB. Our findings, though, showed that evidence regarding the causal impact of frequency of engagement in leisure activities on SWB is still lacking. For this reason, we decided to conduct two longitudinal analyses on the data coming from the Swiss Household Panel (SHP) and the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). We applied different analytical strategies to provide a possible estimation of the impact of leisure engagement on subjective well-being (SWB), with special attention to the interaction between patterns of cultural access and other factors known to affect psychological well-being. Doing sport/physical activity, singing/playing an instrument, and going to the theater and concerts, were found to be positively correlated to SWB in the SHP, and attend opera/theater/classical concerts and cinema/disco/pop concert were found to be positively correlated to SWB in the SOEP.

Abstract:
Abstract Purpose: This paper aims to investigate how formal and informal cultural systems within an organization, affect the CSR related actions employees are taking at their workplace on a daily basis. The purpose is to explore how the systemsaffect employees’ participation in a company's CSR. Problem: There is a need for improvements in CSR activities. This improvement could be carried out by creating deeper employee engagement in CRS development and implementation. Gapsbetween externally communicated CSR and internally implemented CSR exists. Researchers have emphasized the importance of culture as a significant factor for successful CSR as well that many organizations are struggling with the integration of sustainability into the cultures and climates. Method:The study is conducted through qualitative research and a case study method. The case study consisted of semi-structured interviews, the sample consisted of seven employees. The research in this thesis was conducted through an inductive approach. Findings: Findings show that the formal cultural systems affected actions related to only one of the CSR aims of the company. The informal cultural systems did not affect employees to take specific actions but rather their mindset. Moreover, findings suggest that employees took CSR related actions without being fully aware of the company’s CSR. The findings also indicated a low awareness of formal documents andidentified factors beyond formal and informal systems that drove and hindered employees to take CSR related actions.

Bailey, Wayne Derrick. "Social deprivation and widening participation : the continuing power of local culture." Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2015. http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/24267/.
Abstract:
This thesis explores why a group of young people with level 3 qualifications, living within traditionally working-class communities, choose not to participate in HE. It discusses their expectations, motivations and aspirations and the social, cultural and personal factors that contribute to their decision making. The findings are drawn from a set of semi-structured interviews with 36 sixth form students. The research adapts a Bourdieuian framework and utilises a three-level methodology. Though the analysis considers the subjective points of view of the participants, with respect to their non-participation, it also pays attention to factors which appeared to have shaped and moulded decisions. Participants’ decisions appeared to be shaped by their place of study, their friends and family and, most importantly, by their parent(s) and this impacted on their aspirations and how motivated they were to participate in HE. The importance of academic-related support is evidenced throughout. It seemed to instil a sense of belonging and solidarity and was motivational. Without a guarantee of similar support, participants were not prepared to participate in HE. A particularly complex attitude to debt was also highlighted. Not incurring debt appeared to be a cultural rule, particularly when there was no guaranteed financial and employment related benefit to participation. This thesis argues that similar outlooks, backgrounds, interests, lifestyles and opportunities resulted in the adoption of shared practices, common patterns of reactions and accepted ways of doing things when it came to HE participation. This thesis helps us to understand why a particular group of young people has not been influenced in the same way as some others by the change in attitude towards HE. More specifically, it enhances our understanding of the complex, yet subtle influences that can lead young people to choose not to participate in HE.

Abstract:
This research examines the function of culture and power in Development praxis, as defined by Post-Development theory, the Participation approach to Development, and Development workers in Cambodia and the Philippines. Practitioner perspectives have been gathered by means of informal interviews conducted in Cambodia and the Philippines. The primary inquiry of this thesis is whether Development is culturally destructive, whether the current paradigm can deliver effective results, and what effect power relations have on these outcomes.
The research approaches Development as a contact zone, in which Southern Development workers function as border crossers, moving between the cultures of funders and local communities as they work to implement Development projects and programs. This affords practitioners privileged insight into the cultural negotiations of this contact, making their input critical to this inquiry. Their input is placed in the context of Post-Development theorists� assertion that Development is a culturally destructive discourse, and the proposal by other theorists that a participatory approach to Development adequately addresses Post-Development�s key concerns. Participation addresses issues of power and context in Development practice from a different perspective from the Post-Development theorists, and outlines a series of strategies designed to overcome well-recognised limitations of Development practice.
Practitioner responses are grouped into three discussions, addressing their overall perspective on Development and Participation, their attitudes to cultural change and Development�s role within that, and their experience of power in Development funding relationships. Their responses were overwhelmingly supportive of participatory approaches to Development, and advocated a stronger role for the grassroots organisations that are pivotal to the Post-Development approach. Different attitudes to cultural change were expressed by practitioners in the two countries, however they consistently named Development as a source of positive cultural change, naming this as a key aim of their work. Finally, practitioners were critical of their relationships with funding organisations, which they felt were unduly controlled by the funders.
This research concludes that participatory Development fosters cultural liberty by reinforcing collaborative cultural traits and strengthening communities to make choices about culture. While Post-Development provides important critiques of Development, its proposed alternative of turning to the grassroots is not supported by practitioners, who seek ongoing relationships with Northern organisations and individuals. In particular, practitioners desire a model of funding relationship that reflects their own practice, by conforming to the paradigm of people that underpins the participatory approach to Development.
This thesis contributes to Development debates by presenting Southern perspectives that contrast with Post-Development, and by proposing a framework that can underpin further development of funding partnerships. Furthermore, it demonstrates that practitioners believe that Development is a reinforcing factor at a time when cultures are exposed to increasingly diverse cultural influences.

Thesis, Södertörns högskola, Institutionen för naturvetenskap, miljö och teknik, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:sh:diva-30849.
Abstract:
This study aims to explain the incentives and travel patterns for people who have consumed popculture tourism. Pop-culture refers to popular products such as video-games, comic-books, literature, film and t.v-shows. Pop-culture tourism refers to destinations and attractions based on popular culture products such as conventions, events, exhibitions, theme parks and destinations. This study takes on a qualitative approach in order to do so. The results were then analyzed through four different theories; Bourdieu’s theory on different capitals, his theory on habitus, his theory on fields and Lundberg & Lexhagen’s figure: Pop-culture Tourism: A Research Model. The results showed that the respondents social upbringing and (social) media consumption plays a central role in order for individuals to consume and partake in pop-culture tourism. Results did also show that cultural capital and social capitals was prominent for individuals who consume and partake in popculture tourism.Denna studie har som syfte att belysa individers motiv och val att besöka pop-kultursrelaterade attraktioner och destinationer. Pop-kultur i denna uppsats syftar till populära produkter såsom tvspel, serietidningar, litteratur, film och tv-serier. Pop-kultursturism syftar till destinationer och attraktioner som är baserade på de sistnämnda vilket kan vara konventioner, event, utställningar, temaparker eller destinationer. Till denna studie har en kvalitativ ansats tillämpats för att besvara uppsatsens syfte och frågeställningar genom att utföra semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyserades sedan genom fyra olika teorier; Bourdieu’s teorier om kapital, fält och habitus samt Lundberg och Lexhagens modell “Pop-culture Tourism: A Research model”. Resultaten visade att exponering av pop-kultur i respondenternas uppväxt, sociala umgängen och (sociala) mediekonsumtion spelade en central roll i konsumtionen och deltagandet av pop-kultursturism. Resultaten visade även att kulturellt kapital (ett intresse av en viss pop-kulturell produkt) och socialt kapital (individens habitus) var betydande för individer som deltar i pop-kultursturism.

Abstract:
In Libya today, there is a movement towards improvement in organizations and to achieve this goal the Government has introduced liberalization of the economy. It is also creating stronger ties with the Western world, now that sanctions have been lifted. There is now greater scope to allow to private enterprise. Although there has been previous research carried out, into the ways that the competitive nature of all Libyan organizations can be improved, this thesis however, is the first that compares the governance structure, management style and culture of organizations in both the Public and Private sectors of Libya and the UK and focuses on employee involvement participation (EIP). Previous studies suggest that organizational culture is significantly influenced by the national culture in which the organization is located. The influence of culture in general, and more specifically in the sub-divisions of national, organizational, and occupational culture, has been the subject of much discussion over the last few decades. However the debate on whether national culture has an impact on organizations and their human resource management practices remains unresolved. The main aim of this study is to compare two very different cultures to discover any significant differences that exist between the two countries and between organizations in the two sectors particularly with regard to EIP. Therefore this research entailed a survey of the organizational culture, and structure as well as the EIP apparent in a sample of Public and Private sector companies in Libya and the UK. The research was carried by questioning a purposive sample of managers and employees, by distributing a self-completion questionnaire and conducting interviews in these companies, to provide both quantitative and qualitative data, which could then be analysed to discover any link between national and organizational culture, corporate governance, management style, the employment relationship and the implementation of EIP. The literature reviewed for this research- generated a number of research questions and allowed hypotheses to be generated. These were then tested to investigate the differences in national and organizational culture between organizations with different organizational structures in capitalist or state-owned enterprises. Also considered were their implementation of employee involvement and participation practices (EIP), to allow workers greater participation in the decision making process. This research concludes that there are significant differences between UK and Libyan public and private sector employees with regard to the national culture in their country. However, there appears to be areas in the organizational culture of the companies sampled that indicate some level of convergence, in their use of HRM practices, management style and preferred forms of EIP. The specific conclusions drawn from this study contribute to our knowledge and understanding in a number of areas, including, national as well as organizational culture, the apparent transfer of Western management techniques and practices, and their effect on the direct or indirect nature of communication with employees. Furthermore this research contributes to our understanding of the degree of autonomy offered to employees, within different organizational cultures, which although they exist in dissimilar economies and are operating different methods of corporate governance in either publicly or privately owned enterprises, now appear to be implementing EIP practices which are converging on the Anglo-Saxon model of HRM.

Abstract:
O Programa Descentralização, da Secretaria Municipal de Cultura de Porto Alegre, foi resultado de uma luta social, travada por grupos de teatro de rua, grupos locais e movimentos comunitários, pela ampliação e qualificação da participação no âmbito do governo municipal. Sua proposta política foi construída a partir de experiências como o Projeto Teatro como Instrumento de Discussão Social, do grupo Ói Nois Aqui Traveiz, em oposição às primeiras ações da Secretaria Municipal de Cultura em 1990 - de desconcentração cultural do centro da cidade. O discurso do Programa apontava para um processo de descentralização no qual as comunidades locais, organizadas coletivamente, passavam a se auto-organizar em termos de política cultural. Entretanto, é importante ressaltar que os espaços de participação na gestão pública têm sido aproveitados para controle social, por meio da colaboração e não do antagonismo da sociedade civil. Esse tipo de participação gerencial não tem como horizonte a emancipação social, mas sua cooptação. Deste modo, é necessário identificar em que medida o discurso do Programa desencadeou práticas de participação que facilitaram a obtenção de respostas para as demandas coletivas, e ampliaram a comunicação entre governados e governantes, fornecendo parâmetros para a tomada de decisão, fortalecendo a expansão da cidadania e “deselitização” da gestão pública. Neste trabalho, foi analisado em que medida a experiência de participação no Programa Descentralização de Cultura de Porto Alegre estimulou a formação de novos valores, pautados pela ética coletiva. A pesquisa de campo, entrevistas e observação participante, subsidiaram a constituição do discurso do Programa e análise das práticas de participação. Para a análise e tratamento dos dados foi utilizada uma abordagem qualitativa, identificando em que medida as práticas de participação que ocorreram ao longo do Programa resgataram os laços entre sociedade civil e Estado, transformando este último em um campo de disputa. Foram identificadas, no início do Programa, novas possibilidades de participação da sociedade civil no âmbito da gestão pública. Entretanto, os espaços de participação que se apresentavam com maior potencial de estímulo a novas possibilidades de participação, ao longo dos anos, perderam o potencial de transformação, distanciando-se deste modo, da proposta inicial de atuação do Programa.The Decentralization Program of the Municipal Department of Culture in Porto Alegre was the result of a social struggle waged by groups of street theater, local groups and community movements, for the expansion and qualification of participation in municipal government. Its proposed policy was constructed from experiments such as Project Theatre as an Instrument of Social Talk, of the group Ói Nóis Aqui Traveiz, in contrast the first actions of the Municipal Culture in 1990 - the cultural desconcentration of city center. The speech of the program pointed to a process of decentralization in which local communities, organized collectively, began to self-organize in terms of cultural politics. However, it is important to highlight that the opportunities for participation in public management have been exploited for social control, through collaboration and not antagonism in civil society. This kind of participation does not have the managerial horizon to social emancipation, but his co-optation. Thus, it is necessary to identify the extent to which the speech triggered Program participation practices that facilitated obtaining answers to the collective demands, and increased communication between rulers and ruled, providing parameters for decision making, strengthening the expansion of citizenship and "deselitização" public management. In this work, which was analyzed at what extent the experience of participation in the Decentralization Program of Culture in Porto Alegre stimulated the formation of new values, guided by ethics conference? The field research, interviews and participant observation, supported the establishment of discourse and analysis of program practices of participation. For the analysis and processing of data was used a qualitative approach, identifying the extent to which the practices of participation that occurred throughout the program rescued the links between civil society and state, turning the latter into a playing field. It was identified early in the program, new opportunities for civil society participation in public management. However, the spaces of participation that had the greatest potential to stimulate new ways of participation, over the years, lost the potential for change, distancing them, this way, from the initial performance of the proposed program.

Logan, Owen. "Fractured culture : the sociological poetics of the arts, participation and well-being." Thesis, Northumbria University, 2017. http://nrl.northumbria.ac.uk/36226/.
Abstract:
In different countries participation in the arts has become a significant theme of government policies which foster the instrumentalisation of culture; Yúdice (2003), Belfiore and Bennett (2010), Eagleton (2014). Increasingly it is claimed that the arts have positive effects on social, political and economic well-being. The emphasis on people changing the arts ― common in the political discourses of 1970s ― has been substituted by arguments about the power of the arts to transform people’s lives. This study tests these claims comparatively. The main questions asked are: what are the differences between instrumentalism from above or below in the political order; and how do the world of the arts and letters and the world of politics speak to each other today? Through extended interviews, life stories and discourse analysis, based on fieldwork in Britain and Venezuela, the study demonstrates the complex moral interdependency between European notions of aesthetic virtue and political or civic virtues. The political structuring of these virtuous relations is shown to be morally tenuous. It is argued they express the institutionalised but inadequate compensations associated with the ‘good-faith economy’ (Bourdieu 1977). Politically these relations are problematic; among other things they discursively separate the mind from the body which means that time and other basic needs tend to be neglected. It is argued that this complex relationship between aesthetic and political virtue is a significant factor in Statecraft, and in unmaking the militant role of the organised working class. It is suggested that these dynamics are a contributory factor in the ascendancy of the political far-right internationally. To counter the influence of the good-faith economy this study proposes greater public participation in the funding processes which support the arts.

Rossi, Jairus. "Ecological Restoration's Genetic Culture: Participation and Technology in the Making of Landscapes." UKnowledge, 2013. https://uknowledge.uky.edu/geography_etds/15.
Abstract:
Practitioners of ecological restoration are increasingly adopting a genetic perspective when recreating historical landscapes. Genes are often endowed with the capacity to reveal specific and distinct relationships between organisms and environments. In this dissertation, I examine how genetic technologies and concepts are shaping ecological restoration practices. This research is based on two and a half years of fieldwork in Chicago. I employed participant observation and semi-structured interviews to compare how restorationists in two plant science institutions employ genetic concepts in their projects. One institution uses high-tech genetic methods to guide practice while the other uses lower-tech genetic approaches. Each group has distinct, yet internally diverse ways of deciding which seeds are ‘local enough’ to be included in a project.
This research theorizes how classification differences regarding native seeds are part of a broader set of genetic logics I refer to as ‘genetic epistemologies’. Specifically, I ask how genetic technologies circumscribe different ways of seeing and making landscapes. I compare how restorationists delineated valid seed sourcing regions for restoration projects based on their genetic definitions of ‘native’ species. Drawing from science & technology studies, political ecology, and cultural landscape geography, I illustrate how restorationists incorporate cultural preferences, funding imperatives, aesthetics, and discourses about nature into their particular genetic epistemology.
From this research, I offer the following conclusions. By incorporating genetic technology into ecological restoration, many practitioners feel their work will achieve more precision. Yet this perspective is typical of those who do not directly use genetic technologies. Scientists using direct genetic analyses are much more reserved about the potential of their technologies to match organisms to environments. Second, individuals or groups often come into conflict when attempting to apply different genetic epistemologies to the same problem. These conflicts are resolved in the course of planning and implementing a restoration project. Finally, direct genetic methods are only useful in restoration work involving rare or endangered species. Despite the limited utility of genetic technology in restoration, this approach is becoming influential. Chicago’s high-tech plant science institution is discursively reshaping the goals and approaches of native plant institutions that do not use these technologies.

Abstract:
The purpose of this essay is to illustrate how an organisation with several different cultural activities, such as a regional museum, works with anemphasis on participation. The essay focuses on Kulturparken Småland AB, which encourages the public to be more involved in its activities. Aqualitative approach is used, including nine interviews with employees at theorganisation. A number of theories form the basis of this study: institutionaltheory, which focuses on the context of the organisation, Bourdieu’s theoriesof different capital and Abbott’s theory regarding professionals. In the resultsand analyses section, three operators/actors are identified that in differentways impact upon Kulturparken Småland´s work with participation. Theoperators are the following: the cultural politics arena, the general public andthe scientific community. The results demonstrate that these three operatorsplace the organization under different pressures that affect its identity,professions and aspirations of legitimacy.

Frost, Sophie Louise. "Art at work : creativity and participation in the public cultural institution." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2016. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=230630.
Abstract:
This thesis reflects upon the nature of creativity and participation in the UK public cultural institution. It asks: to what extent is creative agency enabled or disabled within this context? In order to answer this question a qualitative study of Southbank Centre, one of the UK's leading public cultural institutions, has been constructed. The thesis considers the institution in its totality, analysing and interpreting both internal, subjective dimensions and external, public-focused dimensions. An interdisciplinary approach characterises a theoretical and methodological framework that draws upon concepts and methods from sociology, visual culture, museum studies and institutional ethnography. The case study is contextualised through analysis of three key historical examples that provide the preconditions for current perspectives on the relationship between art and work in the public cultural institution: the 1951 Festival of Britain, Artist Placement Group (APG) and the Arts and Crafts Movement. The Southbank case study involves employee interviews, fieldwork observations and the interpretation of cultural objects. These provide the empirical evidence that enables reflection on how creative work and the public are constituted, and how the institution might be seen to exist as a site of struggle. These methods facilitate an assessment of the critical potential of creative work within and around the public cultural institution's self-defined boundaries and the specific historical, discursive and symbolic conditions through which it is enabled or disabled. Although the influence of neoliberal cultural policy cannot be underestimated in this context, the thesis concludes with an alternative suggestion for what the public cultural institution could be. It claims that the discursive tension between artistic and managerial agendas can act as a productive terrain for creative work in its broadest sense.

Ahn, SungHee. "Participation-based public art & design project model for culture-led urban regeneration." Thesis, Brunel University, 2014. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/13873.
Abstract:
In recent years, public art has evolved to take a central role in urban regeneration in public places and, more recently, has been integrated into city branding. Published research and selected reports revealed that public art frequently opens up sensitive issues like social acceptance, ownership and cultural relevance, and showed that a participation-based approach can be used to address these issues. The literature review confirmed the main issues and the need for a theoretical platform to support future practice. The researcher has been a professional practitioner in the field for many years and was aware of the gap between contemporary practice and academic underpinning, resulting in divergent practices with unpredictable outcomes. Key elements found in the secondary research and overlaid with the fieldwork experience of the researcher were combined to create an analytical tool to analyse 46 practical cases of public art and design. This revealed five invitation elements [triggers to induce participation] which were found to be connected to four participation elements [patterns of participation]. A first conceptual model was formulated to investigate the interactions and transformation processes between these invitation and participation elements. The model was further developed and its validity was tested through two distinctive action-based research projects in which the researcher played a leading role. The projects confirmed the validity of the transformation process in the model and emergent pragmatic value. Expert interviews confirmed the validity of the model and understanding of how it may become sustainable, resulting in a toolkit for implementation to engender debate in the academic and practitioner community. The final theoretical model offers new thinking for leading public art and design practitioners and related stakeholders, to achieve consistent add-value.

Luke, Anne. "Youth culture and the politics of youth in 1960s Cuba." Thesis, University of Wolverhampton, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/2436/20492.
Abstract:
The triple coordinates of youth, the Sixties and the Cuban Revolution interact to create a rich but relatively unexplored field of historical research. Previous studies of youth in Cuba have assumed a separation between young people and the Revolution, and either objectify young people as units that could be mobilized by the Revolution, or look at how young people deviated from the perceived dominant ideology of the Revolution. This study contends that, rather than being passive in the face of social and material change, young people in 1960s Cuba were active agents in that change, and played a role in defining what the Revolution was and could become. The model built here to understand young people in 1960s Cuba is based on identity theory, contending that youth identity was built at the point where young people experienced – and were responsible for forging – an emerging dominant culture of youth. The latter entered Cuban consciousness and became, over the course of the 1960s, a part of the dominant national-revolutionary identity. It was determined by three factors: firstly, leadership discourse, which laid out the view of what youth could, should or must be within the Revolution, and also helped to forge a direct relationship between the Revolution and young people; secondly, policy initiatives which linked all youth-related policy to education, therefore linking policy to the radical national tradition stemming from Martí; and thirdly, influence from outside Cuba and the ways in which external youth movements and youth cultures interplayed with Cuban culture. Through these three, youth was in the ascendancy, but, where young people challenged the positive picture of youth, moral panics ensued. Young people were neither inherent saints nor accidental sinners in Cuba in the 1960s, and sought multiple ways in which to express themselves. Firstly, they played their role as activists through the youth organisations, the AJR and the UJC. These young people were at the cutting edge of the canonised vision of youth, and consequently felt burdened by a failure to live up to such an ideal. Secondly, through massive voluntary participation in building the Revolution, through the Literacy Campaign, the militias and the aficionados groups, many young people in the 1960s internalised the Revolution and developed a revolutionary consciousness that defines their generation today. Finally, at the margin of the definition of what was considered revolutionary sat young cultural producers – those associated with El Puente, Caimán Barbudo and the Nueva Trova, and their audience – who attempted to define and redefine what it meant to be young and revolutionary. These groups all fed the culture of youth, and through them we can start to understand the uncertainties of being young, revolutionary and Cuban in this effervescent and convulsive decade.

Abstract:
In this thesis I examine the relationship between school cultures and participation. I start by describing the three methodological approaches I have taken to explore these two key concepts. First, I discuss the reading I have undertaken for the study. Second, by reflecting on my existing experiences of schools and education, I present a series of autobiographical tales. Third, I provide an in-depth case study of a single school The study of this urban comprehensive school comprises the main part of the empirical work. By working as a learning support assistant whilst researching at the school I was able to observe closely its cultures and their relationship to processes of and barriers to participation. I focus on three aspects of this relationship: Interacting with Extemal Worlds, Forming Relationships within the Institutional Structures of a School and Supporting Classroom Learning: Valuing Diversity? Through an analysis of the findings from my reading, autobiographical fragments and the case study, I am able to redefine the key concepts of the thesis and establish si"'{ principal conclusions. I argue that the concept of school cultures is central to understanding participation and that the successful development of more participatory policies and practices requires a concomitant shift in school cultures. I note the importance of understanding members' values and beliefs and suggest that at the heart of developing participation is first, the nature of relationships between members and second, responses to diversity. I end the thesis with a critique of the study's methodology and a number of recommendations for further research. Finally, I consider the contribution this thesis has made to an understanding of the process of research through its intention to maintain integrity both within and between its methodological approaches and its conceptual development.

Esta dissertação visa à compreensão de valores de cultura política e de padrões de participação desenvolvidos numa região histórica da Bahia – o Recôncavo Baiano, uma fértil e extensa região costeira do estado da Bahia onde se encontram duas importantes cidades: Cachoeira e São Félix. A dissertação considera o debate teórico acerca dos significados da política na sociedade contemporânea do ponto de vista da participação política, da memória coletiva e do reconhecimento social. Objetiva compreender como os modernos processos democráticos são impulsionados pela globalização e seus níveis de expressão política e cultural e como estes podem influenciar comunidades locais através da mobilização de valores e práticas inovadoras de participação, disseminando experiências que transcendem os contextos locais e regionais influenciados, por sua vez, pelas escalas nacionais e internacionais de cultura política e práticas sociais. A pesquisa fundamenta-se numa análise de fontes secundárias e em vinte e duas entrevistas realizadas com três grupos específicos de atores das duas cidades: a) atores políticos; b) atores econômicos e c) atores de entidades culturais e associativas. A análise conclui, de maneira geral, que a cultura política local coexiste com valores e práticas mais avançados o que pode sugerir um padrão lento, mas persistente, de mudanças na região.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between gender policy, gender culture, and political participation in unified Germany. It investigates the extent to which political regimes shape citizens' attitudes towards gender roles and examines the effect of such attitudes on women's participation in politics. The thesis is divided into three parts: The first part explores the differences in gender regime types between the former German Democratic Republic and Federal Republic of Germany during the Cold War period. Building on existing studies, the analysis considers how generations that were socialised in the divided Germany differ in their attitudes toward gender roles. It finds that citizens from West Germany are more socially conservative than citizens from the East. The second part of the thesis tests the effects of these traditional gender attitudes on citizens' participation, focusing on party membership. The analysis highlights that gender gaps in formal political participation in unified Germany still exist, but that these gaps are smaller in the new federal states. The investigation further shows that traditional gender attitudes exert a negative effect on women’s political engagement beyond the predictive power of socio-economic and demographic factors. The final part of this thesis casts a critical look at the political controversy in Germany over the introduction of a cash-for-care subsidy (the so-called Betreuungsgeld). It explores the normative assumptions and ideas about gender roles that have been promoted by Germany's main political parties throughout the policy negotiation process. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, the research presented in this thesis draws on, and contributes to, studies on gender, welfare states, political socialisation, and political participation.

This article looks at the effect of culture on female labor force participation. Proxies of culture used are Globe cultural social practice dimensions, and Hofstede cultural dimensions. This article finds that globe cultural dimensions have a stronger explantory value that Hofstede cultural dimensions. It confirms that gender eglaitarianism is a predictor of female labor force participation. It also suggests that assertiveness and uncertainty avoidance are also predictors of female labor force participation.

Abstract:
Cette thèse propose d’examiner les façons dont l’expérience de visite peut être transformée dans le contexte d’une culture numérique qui touche les publics réels et les publics potentiels du musée. On s’interroge plus précisément sur les processus d’appropriation et de partage qu’entraine la pratique muséale à l’époque de la culture numérique. Pour explorer cet objet de recherche, nous construisons un appareil méthodologique interdisciplinaire ad hoc entre l’informatique et les sciences de l’information et de la communication. Il permet d’élaborer un cadre analytique susceptible de saisir des pratiques qui se partagent et se combinent entre un espace numérique et un espace physique. De la sorte, nous proposons des protocoles de recherches hybrides et exploratoires qui offrent la possibilité de saisir, par leur association, des pratiques multiples de l’expérience de visite dans la triple temporalité de l’avant, du pendant et de l’après visite du musée. À travers cette thèse nous mettons en évidence la façon dont le numérique intervient dans les pratiques de l’expérience de visite comme un objet technique spécifique et un système d’échange avec et dans lequel le visiteur et le visiteur potentiel reconfigurent leur relation à l’institution muséale, à sa collection, aux expositions et aux autres visiteurs et visiteurs potentielsIn the context of a digital culture that affects the actual audiences and potential audiences of the museum, this thesis proposes to examine the ways in which the visitor’s experience can be transformed. We wonder specifically about the appropriation and sharing processes that induce the museum practice in the era of digital culture. To explore this research item, we build an interdisciplinary methodological device between IT and Communication Sciences. It helps us to develop an analytical framework able to capture practices that are divided and combined between cyberspace and physical space. In this way, we propose hybrid and exploratory research protocols that provide the ability to capture, through their association, multiple practices of the visitor’s experience in a triple temporality of the before, the during and the after visit of the museum. Through this thesis, we highlight how digital devices and culture play a part in the practices of the visitor’s experience as a specific technical object and an exchange system and in which the visitor and potential visitor reconfigure their relationship to museum, its collection, exhibitions and other visitors and potential visitors

Abstract:
Abstract. Maker culture is a new movement adopted by the educational sector around the world. Such movement aroused the interest of researchers and educators to explore it. Within its environment, students can collaborate with others to solve problems or do some projects. However, collaboration does not occur naturally. From this problem, this research has flourished.
The research design of this study is a case study, following qualitative methodology entitled content analysis. The participants involved are twenty students in their 1st year of master studies. The aim of the current study is to explore collaborative learning in Maker culture to identify three aspects; 1) how it might affect the students’ learning gain, 2) how the participation and collaborative interaction among the students are influenced, 3) how did the students perceive such collaborative script.
The researcher answered these questions by designing a macro collaborative script and implementing it in two separated sessions within the maker culture context. The data collection methods were pre and post-questionnaires in addition to video data and they were analyzed using QSR NVivo software. The findings of this study indicated that the students’ learning gain was significant, yet the majority acquired a shallow level of knowledge and not a deep level of knowledge. As for the participation and collaborative interaction, although the students were on-task almost 57% of the duration of the sessions, interestingly the duration of collaborative interaction was only around 33% of their participation. Hence, it can be deduced that even if the students are participating in a collaborative task that does not mean they are collaboratively interacting; the reasons that might be behind such results are elaborated comprehensively in the study. Finally, the students had a positive attitude towards this type of collaboration script. The researcher recommends that collaborative interaction might be enhanced if the script was adaptive with more details, this might lead to a deeper level in cognitive learning gain and a higher percentage in collaborative interactions.

Abstract:
A partir des années 2000, la participation publique fait en France l’objet d’une attention grandissante, tant dans les sphères sociale et politique que dans le monde de la recherche. La fabrication de la ville en est le terreau privilégié, support de revendications et d'initiatives citoyennes d’un côté, de procédures et d'expériences institutionnelles de l’autre. Vectrice de régulation sociale, de développement durable et de vitalité de la démocratie, l'implication du public aux projets et décisions gagne en ampleur dans un contexte marqué par la complexification du fait urbain et de ses modalités de gouvernance. Promue par les intercommunalités, elle répondrait à un double enjeu de légitimation politique et de modernisation des modes de faire dans une visée métropolitaine. Le cas de la Communauté urbaine de Bordeaux illustre particulièrement bien cela.Par le déploiement d'exercices participatifs novateurs touchant à des politiques et à des stratégies d'agglomération, elle chercherait à s'affirmer comme chef de file de la gouvernance métropolitaine autant qu'à impliquer directement les habitants et usagers du territoire dans le cadre d'une « citadinité » renouvelée. Cette ambition se traduit dans les orientations politiques récentes, qui transforment le positionnement stratégique, l'organisation et les pratiques de la Communauté urbaine de Bordeaux. S'ensuit une montée en compétence des acteurs – techniciens, membres du Conseil de développement durable, élus – témoin de la professionnalisation des activités de participation. Ce double mouvement, institutionnel et professionnel, laisse présager d'une évolution profonde et durable de l'action communautaire dans une logique plus transversale et collaborative. Cette analyse est le fruit d'une recherche menée au sein de l'institution par le biais d'un dispositif CIFRE. Elle repose sur une méthode d'observation participante, couplée à des entretiens thématiques et à l'examen d'un corpus de processus participatifs récentsFrom the 2000s , public participation in France is the subject of increasing attention in both the social and political spheres in the world of research. The privileged context is the production process of cities as it supports citizens claims and initiatives on the one hand , procedures and institutional experiences on the other hand. Vector of social regulation, sustainable development and vitality of democracy, public involvement in projects and urban decisions gains momentum in a context marked by the complexity of the urban reality and its governance. Promoted by intermunicipalities it meets a dual challenge of political legitimacy and modernization of metropolitan operating methods. The case of the Urban Community of Bordeaux illustrates this particularly well. Through the deployment of innovative participatory exercises related to agglomeration policies and strategies, it seeks to assert itself as a leading method in metropolitan governance as well as to directly involve residents and users of the territory in a context of renewed "citizenship". This ambition is reflected in recent policy orientations, which transform the strategic positioning of the organization and practices of the Urban Community of Bordeaux. What followed is an increase in the technical skills of the stakeholders - technicians, members of the Sustainable Development Council, elected bodies- witness of the professionalization of participation. This double movement, institutional and professional, suggests a profound and lasting change in community action as a part of a more collaborative and cross logic. This analysis is the result of a research conducted within the institution within the framework of a CIFRE contract. It is based on the method of participant observation together with thematic interviews and the analysis of a body of recent participatory processes

Dissertação de Mestrado em Administração PúblicaRealizada no âmbito do Mestrado em Administração Pública, a presente dissertação cruza duas linhas de investigação: a da Governança (tradicionalmente estudada pela Ciência da Administração) e a da Cultura Cívica (tradicionalmente estudada no âmbito da Ciência Política), através do estudo de valores autoexpressivos em contextos de decisão participada. Pretendeu-se analisar se o desenvolvimento de valores autoexpressivos, próprios de uma Cultura Cívica Assertiva, tem uma relação com a adoção de mecanismos de participação dos cidadãos, em modelos de Governança Democrática. Para a construção do modelo de análise recorreu-se ao modelo de desenvolvimento humano de Welzel, Inglehart e Klingemann (2003), complementando-o com o modelo de Cultura Cívica de Almond e Verba (1972) para avaliação das atitudes políticas, o modelo de Cultura Cívica Assertiva de Dalton e Welzel (2014) para operacionalização do conceito de valores autoexpressivos e o modelo evolucionário de Vigoda (2002) para a análise dos instrumentos de decisão participada. Selecionaram-se dois municípios da área da Grande Lisboa, um que adotou e outro que não adotou o orçamento participativo, que foram comparados relativamente ao desenvolvimento de valores autoexpressivos através da análise de conteúdo das entrevistas. No município em que foi adotado o orçamento participativo, os valores autoexpressivos dos entrevistados surgiram mais desenvolvidos do que no município que não adotou este instrumento, sendo as orientações dos entrevistados do primeiro município predominantemente assertivas (71%), enquanto as do segundo predominantemente participantes (48%). Embora o presente estudo utilize uma metodologia qualitativa, de estudo de caso, que não permite uma análise inferencial, os resultados obtidos são sugestivos da existência de uma relação entre a adoção de instrumentos de decisão participada e o desenvolvimento de valores autoexpressivos que integram a Cultura Cívica Assertiva
This dissertation was conducted for the Master in Public Administration, and crosses two research approaches: Governance (traditionally studied in Public Administration Science) and the Civic Culture (traditionally studied in Political Science), by examining self-expression values in participatory decision contexts. It was intended to understand if the development of self-expression values, as part of an assertive civic culture, is related to the adoption of participatory mechanisms in democratic governance models. The analysis model is based on the human development model proposed by Welzel, Inglehart and Klingemann (2003), complemented with the Almond and Verba (1972) Civic Culture model to assess the political attitudes, the Assertive Civic Culture model of Dalton and Welzel (2014) to operationalize the concept of self-expressive values and the Vigoda (2002) evolutionary model to analyse the participatory instruments. Two counties from the vicinity of Lisbon were selected, one adopting participatory budgeting and the other not adopting it, which were compared regarding self-expressive values development, by using interview content analysis. In the county that has adopted participatory budgeting, the respondents’ self-expressive values were found to be more developed than in the county that has not adopted this instrument. The respondents’ orientation in the first county was predominantly assertive (71%), and in the second it was predominantly participant (48%). Although this investigation uses a qualitative, case study, methodology, which does not allow an inferential analysis, the results are suggestive of the existence of a relationship between the adoption of participatory decision-making instruments and the development of self-expressive values, which are part of the Assertive Civic Culture.

Abstract:
This paper looks at macro level data to measure the influence religion has played on female labor force participation (FLFP) rates between 1980 and 2005. It also attempts to find if this influence has changed over time. It then focuses specifically on African and post-communist nations as that is where some of the major religious changes have taken place in the last few decades. There is no clear pattern of an increasing or decreasing influence of religion on FLFP rates. Rather, different religions in different parts of the world affect FLFP in different ways. Finally, this paper looks specifically at Islamic and Catholic nations to see what variables have an effect on rising FLFP rates in those countries.

Abstract:
Organizational culture substantially impacts employee motivation, employee behavior, and employee participation in professional development activities. In the field of Student Affairs, it is critical for employees to regularly participate in professional development activities to stay up-to-date with understanding today’s students’ needs and meeting federal and state demands. This study examined what individual and organizational culture factors predict participation in professional development activities among student affairs professionals at higher education institutions. For this study, 354 participants from various public and private institutions were emailed an anonymous web-based survey. Field theory served as the theoretical foundation giving perspective as to how external and internal factors contribute to behavioral changes. Human capital theory and empirical research provided the framework for the organizational culture factors investigated. The results of this study informs practice and policy concerning supervision models; performance evaluation methods; the allocation of resources dedicated to developing and training staff members; professional development plans; higher education curriculum; policies and regulations associated with training and development (T&D); accreditation implications; and the logistics associated with T&D opportunities offered by professional organizations.

Abstract:
Post-operative pain is one of the most common side-effects encountered by patients
after their surgery, and more than 50% of patients experience mild to severe pain. Postoperative pain may be influenced by factors such as age, gender, psychological factors,
pre-operative information and types of surgery. Additional factors that may be related to pain include culture and ethnicity, although understandings about their relationship have not been well expanded. Cultural practice is important as it may determine the patient’s way of dealing with his or her pain and influence participation in healthcare. This study aimed to determine the relationship between culture and patients’ pain experience, analgesic consumption and patients’ participation in their pain management after surgery. It focused on patients in Malaysia who had undergone breast cancer surgery, including patients who were ethnically Malay, Chinese and Indian.
This study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted in two tertiary government
hospitals in Malaysia. Eighty women who were undergoing breast cancer surgery were
recruited into this study. The biocultural pain model was used as the theoretical
framework for the study. The visual analogue scale was used for pain assessment, the
control preferred scale was used to determine participants preferred role in pain
management, and medication records were used to ascertain the participants’ analgesic
consumption. Face-to-face interviews were used for data collection and were conducted
at four time point phases: before the operation and 4, 24 and 48 hours after the operation.Thesis (Masters)
