ENGLISH ABSTRACT: One of the objectives of corporate reporting is the communication of information on a company's performance to all stakeholders. The traditional financial statements (balance sheet, income statement and the cash flow statement) do not sufficiently meet all of the above requirements. In view of this, the study project acknowledges the need for corporate reporting beyond the traditional conventional financial reports. This therefore necessitated the use of a Value-Added Statement (VAS) as one of the financial statements that is regarded to have the ability to enhance corporate reporting. A VAS is based on an economic concept and, therefore, a contribution of a specific company towards the Gross Domestic Product (GOP) can be directly measured. Although a VAS does not solely disclose all of the information pertaining to the economic performance of business enterprise, it is believed that the statement can assist interested parties in making well-informed economic decisions. However, the publication of a VAS is still not a statutory regulation in South Africa. The findings indicate some limitations in the manner in which a VAS is published. The format is not statutory and is not audited, but there are opportunities for further research and improvement. This aspect has unfortunately led some users to mistrust the statement. For example, it almost always indicates that the labour component takes most of the value added (Hird, 1983). Statistical tests (e.g. Shapiro-Wilk's W Spearman R Test, histograms) have been conducted. These tests show a weak negative relationship between change in number of employees and change in value added by each employee. This suggests that value added per employee is not the only factor that contributes to productivity. There is therefore not enough evidence to conclude that companies that reduce the number of employees improve productivity.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Een van die doelwitte van korporatiewe verslaggewing is om inligting oor die prestasie van 'n maatskappy aan alle belangegroepe te kommunikeer. Die tradisionele finansiële state (balansstaat, inkomstestaat en kontantvloeistaat) voldoen nie heeltemal aan bogenoemde vereistes nie. In die lig hiervan erken die studieprojek die behoefte aan korporatiewe verslaggewing bo en behalwe die tradisionele finansiële verslae. Dit het dus die gebruik van die toegevoegdewaardestaat (TWS) genoodsaak as een van die finansiële state wat daartoe kan bydra om korporatiewe verslaggewing te verbeter. 'n TWS is gebaseer op 'n ekonomiese konsep. Daarom kan 'n bydrae van 'n spesifieke maatskappy tot die Bruto Binnelandse Produk (BBP) direk gemeet word. Hoewel 'n toegevoegdewaardestaat nie op sy eie al die inligting oor die ekonomiese prestasie van 'n besigheidsonderneming blootlê nie, kan dit belangstellende partye help om ingeligte ekonomiese besluite te neem. Die publikasie van 'n toegevoegdewaardestaat is egter nog nie 'n statutêre regulasie in Suid-Afrika nie. Die bevindinge dui op 'n aantal beperkinge in die wyse waarop 'n TWS gepubliseer word. Die formaat is nie statutêr nie en word nie geouditeer nie, maar daar is geleenthede vir verdere navorsing en verbetering. Hierdie aspek het ongelukkig daartoe gelei dat sommige gebruikers die staat wantrou. Byvoorbeeld: Die VAS dui feitlik altyd aan dat die arbeidskomponent die meeste van die toegevoegde waarde opneem (Hird, 1983). Statistiese toetse (bv. Shapiro-Wilk se W Spearman R Toets, histogramme) is uitgevoer. Hierdie toetse dui op 'n swak negatiewe verhouding tussen verandering in die aantal werknemers en verandering in die waarde wat deur elke werknemer toegevoeg word. Dit dui daarop dat die waarde wat per werknemer toegevoeg word nie die enigste faktor is wat bydra tot produktiwiteit nie. Daarom lewer dit nie genoegsaam bewys om tot die gevolgtrekking te kom dat maatskappye wat hul aantal werknemers verminder terselfdertyd produktiwiteit verhoog nie.

Suehs, Derrick. "Emotional Intelligence and Employee Engagement| A Quantitative Study to Explore the Relationship between the Emotional Intelligence of Frontline Managers and Supervisors and the degree of Employee Engagement of their Direct Reports in a Tertiary Care Health Care Setting."

Abstract:

The health care industry is moving from a volume-based, fee-for-service financial reimbursement system to a value-based purchasing model. These changes have caused substantial challenges in the delivery of care. Hospital leaders must conduct business differently to lower cost, improve safety outcomes, and be more efficient and effective.

Numerous studies show engaged employees improve operational performance. Past studies point to leaders with high emotional intelligence who are effective at engaging employees. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a statistically significant correlation between frontline managers and supervisors’ emotional intelligence and the degree of engagement of their direct reports.

The research questions were: (a) what is the level of employee engagement among those who participated in the study, (b) what is the level of emotional intelligence of the frontline managers and supervisors who participated in the study, and (c) using inferential statistics, is there a statistically significant correlation between emotional intelligence of frontline managers and supervisors and the employee engagement of their direct reports.

The study used non-experimental, quantitative analytics to test the hypothesis. A bivariate correlation procedure called Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation was used to determine the potential relationship between the emotional intelligence of 24 frontline managers and supervisors and employee engagement of their direct reports, totaling 585 employees. Though a favorable, moderate correlation was found with a Pearson r of 0.39267 at a p value of 0.0577, the hypothesis was denied. The favorable correlated relationship found supports the growing scholarly work.

Future studies may provide greater understanding and value of the relationship between emotional intelligence and employee engagement. Additional recommendations were made to improve organizational performance through leadership development, recruitment, culture engineering, and ongoing assessment of managerial effectiveness.

Abstract:
Syfte: Studien har två syften: Att beskriva förekomsten av kategorier och omfattningen av frivillig redovisning om anställda som är relaterad till bolagens sociala ansvar (CSR). Att förklara vilka faktorer som påverkar omfattningen av frivillig redovisning relaterat till anställda.  Metod: Då studien har ett förklarande syfte som berör omfattningen av frivillig redovisning om anställda, så har kvantitativa metoder använts och data till studien har samlats in via en kvantitativ innehållsanalys. Studien utfördes på 56 av de 58 bolag som befann sig på Large Cap, Stockholmsbörsen 2012, varav två bolag fick räknas som bortfall på grund av andra redovisningssätt än de övriga. Datat analyserades sedan genom deskriptiv statistik och multipla regressionsanalyser.  Resultat & slutsats: Stora bolag på Stockholmsbörsen redovisar frivilligt multipla kategorier information om anställda, men den kategori som generellt används mest är profilinformation om anställda. Den faktor som främst förklarar den frivilliga informationen om anställda är bolagets skuldkvot, men också vilken industrisektor ett bolag tillhör har betydelse. Den teori som främst förklarar frivillig redovisning om anställda är agentteorin.  Förslag till fortsatt forskning: I denna studie upptäckte vi att bolag redovisar fler kategorier om anställda än vad vi i vår studie deducerat fram från tidigare forskning. En kvalitativ kartläggning av kategorierna kan därför vara ett förslag till fortsatt forskning.  Uppsatsens bidrag: Mycket av tidigare forskning när det gäller frivillig redovisning har haft ett generellt fokus, där flera olika kategorier information som berör socialt ansvar (CSR) har använts och mycket av den har berört miljö eller finansiell information. Denna studie däremot har fokus på vad bolag specifikt frivilligt redovisar om anställda och detta specifika fokus har inte tidigare utförts på stora bolag på Stockholmsbörsen.

Abstract:
Title: Sustainability accounting - A qualitative study about the understanding, usefulness and relevance of sustainability reporting based on an employee perspective. Problematization: There has been previous research about sustainability reporting through an external point of view. There is however a gap in research about sustainability reporting from an employee perspective. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a better comprehension of how employees perceive the information presented in sustainability report and if they feel that the report is aimed for them or external stakeholders. Frame of reference: This episode began with previous research about the three qualitative characteristics that are used when creating a financial report. The framework of GRI is also presented. Lastly the stakeholder theory and stakeholder dialogue are introduced. Method: This study has a qualitative approach where 10 semi-structured interviews have been held to collect data. Research: The employees have a better understanding of the information related to the social and environmental issues. Furthermore they only consider the information regarding the environment to be useful in their daily work. The employees believe that the environmental and social part of the report is relevant while the economic could not be assessed by the employees. Conclusions: Diagrams, thorough explanations and knowledge of the subject increased the understanding of the report. The economical part can be further understood if there is more extensive content. The information becomes useful when they can directly use it in their daily work and when they feel that the information is aimed for them. They need to receive the information through meetings for it to be useful for them. They had little previous knowledge of the economical part and were there for not able to assess the relevance of the report's content while the environmental and the social area were relevant because the content has currently been highlighted in newspapers and debates.

Full text
Abstract:
As Western business increases in China and China acquires more technology from the West, the need to effectively train the Chinese workforce becomes more important. Identifying and understanding the perceived problems that Western corporate trainers encounter when they train Chinese may lead to more effective and efficient training programs. This study examines the experiences of trainers, working for American companies, who have designed and implemented training programs for Chinese from the People's Republic of China. The purpose of the study is to identify perceived problems the trainers encounter and to determine whether differences between Chinese and American cultures may account for these problems. Hofstede's Value Dimensions of Cultural Difference and Hall's Low-High Context Communication Schema are used to analyze the dimensions of cultural difference operating between the trainers and students of these training programs. Hofstede's and Hall's rating of U. S. culture as an individualist, moderately low power-distance, moderately weak uncertainty-avoidance, low context culture contrasts with the collectivist, moderately high power-distance, moderately strong uncertainty-avoidance, high context Chinese culture. Hofstede suggests that when a trainer from a culture with the American configuration trains students from a culture with a Chinese configuration several problems are likely to occur. Specific examples are included in the text. In-depth interviews, lasting between two and three hours, were conducted with nine trainers working for eight American companies. The data were analyzed using an ongoing constant comparative method which produced evolving problem categories and themes. In the final analysis of the data, three major problem categories, each with several subcategories, emerged. The major problem category, Power and Authority includes problems dealing with, Bureaucratic Maze, Decision-making, Getting Things Done, Communication, and the Chinese system of Connections. The second major problem category, Training and Learning Problems describes problems pertaining to Language, Training and Learning Processes, Problem-solving, Technical Sophistication, and Selection of Trainees. The third major problem category, Work Attitudes and Behavior addresses problems relating to Motivation, Responsibility, and Work Habits. Using Hofstede's Dimensions of Cultural Differences and Hall's Low-High Context Communication Schema, a sample of the most salient problems are analyzed for cultural differences between Chinese and American culture. Hofstede's and Hall's theories identify various dimensions of cultural differences between China and the U.S. which potentially lead to problems in a training context. The research revealed several perceived problems common to trainers of Western companies in training Chinese from the People's Republic. This study concludes that many of these problems can be explained in terms of the cultural differences identified by Hofstede and Hall. Finally, recommendations are made concerning both design and implementation of more effective training for Chinese. Possibilities for future study are suggested.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose was to assess the extent of use of Making Achievement Possible reports in aiding hall directors in making decisions for their hall in five areas: academic initiatives, hall activities, disciplinary proceedings, conversations with students, and assessing community. Current hall directors were surveyed during January 2002 regarding use of MAP reports in these areas. Two focus groups were held to gain more specific examples of report use, to determine possible changes, and to identify factors that affect use in decision-making. It was determined that the reports are used in academic initiatives, disciplinary proceedings, and in assessing community strengths, but are not used in other areas of job responsibility. Issues that affected use included time, training, and the amount of information found on the report. Training in basic research methodology and in applying results to practice could lead to better utilization of the MAPP reports in hall decision-making.

Full text
Abstract:
Research has shown that emotional intelligence (EQ) is positively related to beneficial outcomes in organizations. Research has also found that negative perceptions of organizational credibility (OC) can result in adverse economic and social costs for organizations and communities. To date, the existing research has failed to examine whether employee EQ might affect employee perceptions of OC. A quantitative, non-experimental study was conducted using a sample of employees in large health and medical organizations throughout the United States. The variables in the study were measured using the Assessing Emotions Scale and the Comprehensive Organizational Credibility Inventory. Multiple regression analyses and Pearson correlation examined the relationships between employee EQ and employee perceptions of OC. Results of the study showed that employees with high EQ perceived their employing organizations to have high OC for areas of accountability, goodwill, integrity, legitimacy, and power, but low OC for areas of attractiveness, corporate social responsibility, expertise, and trustworthiness. Results also showed that high employee EQ predicted high OC for areas of accountability, goodwill, legitimacy, and power, but not for areas of attractiveness, corporate social responsibility, expertise, or trustworthiness. Results supported existing research that has identified links between EQ and organizational-related factors. Results also supported existing research that showed that credibility constructs may be culturally and situationally determined. This study has provided an incentive for leaders of organizations to integrate pro-EQ hiring and training interventions that can foster positive OC behaviors and strengthen organizations both internally and externally.

Abstract:
Background Employee turnover is increasing and in order for companies to retain their workforce, internal marketing (IM) needs to be applied. With internal communication (IC) being seen as the key to implementing employee oriented strategies and activities to motivate employees and coordinate cross-functional efforts within IM, internal social media (ISM), as known for fostering communication among employees, needs to be investigated regarding its influence on employee engagement. Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological conditions of employee engagement on ISM and their relationship to employee engagement on ISM, moderated by the managerial communication styles assertive, aggressive and passive. Method An explanatory sequential mixed methods design has been applied, combining the advantages of both quantitative and qualitative data collection. Starting with 86 self-completion questionnaires, the findings, obtained by the application of a factor analysis in conjunction with multiple regression analysis, have been deepened with 5 semi-structured interviews with the help of a thematic analysis. Results and Conclusions The psychological conditions of employee engagement on ISM are indeed positively related to employee engagement on ISM. Furthermore, the assertive managerial communication style has shown to have a moderating effect on the relationship between the psychological conditions of employee engagement on ISM and employee engagement on ISM. Even though the moderating effect has been negative, the assertive communication style has been found to have a positive effect on employee engagement on ISM itself.

Abstract:
The topic of sustainability has never been as relevant as it is today. Most recently, we have been following climate activists strike worldwide, the U.S. withdraw from the Paris Agreement and we have seen the world elite leave climate meetings without agreements. In 2015, to cope with the sustainability issues, the UN adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), for global actions to protect the planet and assure a better future for humanity. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 SDGs are set to ensure social, economic, and environmental progress at a global level. For a worldwide advance in progress has the private sector a leading role, and to ensure an effective framework of goals and a balance between the three dimensions are the standards adopted in dialogue with the private sector. The adoption of agendas and regulations has stressed sustainability reporting to become an important business issue for the last two decades. Although sustainability reporting emerged quite recently, the topic has been well researched. Recent research has been focusing on shareholder value and sustainability reporting. However, there is a lack of research focusing on the other stakeholder groups. This study intends to investigate what internal stakeholders of an organization in the private sector consider as important reporting activities following the Global Reporting Standards (GRI). This study is written on commission, hence does the sample consist of the commissioner’s employees. To fulfill the purpose of the study, a survey was conducted and distributed among the internal stakeholders of the organization. The results of the study found the social sustainability activities to be the most important ones to report, followed by the environmental sustainability activities and the economic sustainability activities. Any possible differences between different subgroups of the population (gender, age, employment, and position at work) were tested by establishing two-sample t-tests and a one-way Analysis of Variance. The gender-, age- and position at work variable showed significance, rejecting the null hypothesis that the mean responses are equal.

Abstract:
Lack of research on the use of the leave fringe benefit (paid and unpaid time off) as it related to administrators in higher education was the problem of this study. The main purpose of this study was to increase the body of knowledge by analyzing the differences among paid and unpaid time off and selected demographic data for administrators at four selected public universities in Tennessee (Austin Peay State University, East Tennessee State University, Middle Tennessee State University, and Tennessee Technological University). This descriptive study was conducted to provide a historical data base on the use of paid and unpaid time off in higher education in Tennessee. Data collection was accomplished using specialized computer programs to select information from existing data bases of the four universities. Conclusions of this study were based on reported paid and unpaid time off for 480 administrative employees from four public universities in Tennessee. Female administrators used reported annual and sick leave at significantly higher rates. Administrators with 11 to 15 years of seniority had significantly higher reported use of annual leave. Administrators in the state retirement plan had a higher use of reported sick leave. Administrators with salary ranges of $55,001 to \$65,000 had the lowest use of reported sick leave. Employees with doctorate degrees had significantly lower use of reported sick leave. There were no significant differences for reported annual and sick leave between the four age categories and the four institutions in the study. Recommendations were based on the analyses that significant differences exist in the amount of paid leave used and various demographic variables. Calculations on the research questions indicated that the cost for unpaid leave and paid leave types (jury duty, civil leave, military leave, and bereavement leave) were minimal. However, the calculated mean cost per employee for paid leave types (holiday, annual leave, and sick leave) were more costly. Public institutions should manage and market the leave fringe benefit as a major component of personnel cost.

Abstract:
Employers have criticized the secondary education program stating graduates are not meeting expected entry-level job competencies and attitudes. Recent surveys of employers indicated wide dissatisfaction with the educational quality of high school graduates and confirmed much of the general criticism which has been made of American education.The purpose of this study was to obtain data to answer the following research questions:1. What are the entry-level job competencies and attitudes needed by high school graduates?2. What effect does the number of employees have the entry-level job competencies and attitudes required?3. What effect does the type of business have on the entry-level job competencies and attitudes required?Data were collected from 679 employers by the use of a mailed questionnaire.Major Findings In response to all three research questions, employers indicated an entry-level employee did not need understand basic economic/free enterprise concepts to be successful in an entry-level position. According to the responses to Research Questions No. 1 and 3, employers rejected the need for an entry-level employee to have the ability to speak critically and constructively in the exchange of ideas and to know the terminology of the business/industry. Employers rejected other questionnaire items but at a lower frequency rate than noted above.Conclusions1. A list of competencies and attitudes was established as being needed by an entry-level employee.2. The number of employees and type of business/industry did have an effect on the competencies and attitudes needed by an entry-level employee.

O presente trabalho teve por objectivo aferir do conhecimento e do entendimento da parte das entidades patronais referente à obrigação das mesmas pela prestação anual de informação sobre a actividade social da empresa, actualmente conhecida como relatório único. Procurou-se ainda, dentro do âmbito deste estudo, apresentar uma proposta que visasse aumentar a aderência do referido relatório, por parte das empresas. Tendo em vista a prossecução destes objectivos, desenvolvemos uma metodologia que passava inicialmente pela elaboração de um questionário e o seu consequente envio a uma série de empresas, questionário esse que procurava aferir da percepção dos gestores das empresas sondadas, para a realidade que se pretendia ajuizar. Assim procedemos a uma amostragem, obtida aleatoriamente de um conjunto de micro empresas (em número de 40), a quem o mesmo foi enviado. Os resultados obtidos através das respostas recebidas, permitiram detectar alguns problemas, nomeadamente no que concerne à informação sobre o relatório único, a dever ser prodigalizado pelas autoridades consideradas competentes para o efeito, junto da generalidade das empresas, nomeadamente das microempresas. Detectámos assim uma gritante falta de informação, por parte daqueles a quem competiria fazê-lo, leia-se as entidades governamentais que supervisionam e controlam todo o processo. Constatou-se igualmente que uma grande maioria das entidades patronais desconhece de quem é a responsabilidade pela entrega do referido relatório, assim como da existência de coimas pela sua não entrega. Tendo sido detectada ainda a noção, da parte dos inquiridos, da inexistência de qualquer utilidade pela elaboração e entrega deste relatório.

With intention to perform this task, we develop the working up of a project, with a elaboration of one questionnaire and the following sending to the series of enterprises, for to check the understanding of the regard information. With this method we random forty (40) micro enterprises. The results of this task, to disclose some problems, as the poor information, to form by the official personage, near the employer. We detect also, that many employer not known who is the responsibility to perform this task, as the send the single report, to the official personage, as the lack of knowledge of the penalty for the not delivery or presentation of documents. In the same time, many employers, do not believe about the benefit of this report. In succession of our work, we do some proposal for to improve the process of diffusion and communication about this subject, by the public entities near the employers.

The objective of this study was to analyze the reporter of human capital in integrated reporting in the banking sector and suggest a proposal for standardization. Were the three largest financial institutions intentionally selected, public companies - Bradesco, Ita?? Unibanco and Santander - from 2013 and 2014, which have integrated their reports with different patterns. The methodology of research was used qualitative approach to research of application of descriptive, using documentary study. The research analyzed the composition of human capital items, the way the information was reported and the level of adherence to the conceptual framework established by the International Integrated Reporting Council to prepare the Integrated Reporting . The result of the analysis found that companies are in early stages and evolving in the development of human capital reporting in its integrated reporting. This study concluded that there is no standardization in the way of reporting the information, but the content is consistent and in accordance with the guidelines established by the conceptual framework of the International Integrated Reporting Council and International Organization for Standardization in its ISO 26000, both founded with the good labor practices and human rights. Thus, the disclosure framework suggested in this paper can be useful to standardize the form of presentation of this information and contribute towards improving the accounting information quality, minimize information asymmetry and thus allow greater comparison between the institutions in respect to human capital.

Abstract:
Since the 1980s our economy has been quickly evolving. Mergers, downsizing, privatizations and the recent economic crisis have exposed employees to a growing sense of uncertainty about their job future. Both quantitative and qualitative job insecurity has been linked to numerous negative performance and health outcomes for employees, negatively impacting organizations. Negative effects include burnout, reduced work engagement and decreased safety motivation and compliance. Most studies on job insecurity only look at one country, usually a Western country, and rely exclusively on self-reports. Therefore, the aims of the present research (including two studies) are to a) examine both qualitative and quantitative job insecurity in different cultural contexts, including an Eastern country and b) include behavioural measures to performance outcomes. Studies carried out before the economic crisis found more negative performance outcomes associated with job insecurity in collectivistic compared with individualistic cultures. The question arises whether the change in the economic environment since the economic crisis caused a change in the influence of job insecurity in Western as compared to Eastern countries. Thus, in the first study, the consequences of job insecurity for employees in the contexts of the U.S. were examined (N=969), where the crisis began, Germany (N=374), which is still affected by the subsequent Euro debt crisis, and China (N=205), which was initially mostly unaffected by the crisis but whose economy is currently experiencing a slowdown. Understanding the influence of job insecurity on employees’ performance in different national contexts is necessary for organizations to be successful and thrive. Two important performance outcomes are creativity and cognitive errors. Employees’ creativity can generate new ideas for products and procedures, which is a competitive advantage for organizations. In contrast, making and not detecting cognitive errors before they cause harm can reduce employees’ own and other people’s safety. Results of making and not detecting cognitive errors may include workplace injuries not only posing a threat to employees, but also to people around them, which can lead to significant costs for organizations. A theoretical model was developed and examined in which it was hypothesized that job insecurity influences those performance outcomes through burnout and work engagement. In the second study conducted in China (N=148), the first study was taken a step further and included observational data to investigate the relationship between performance outcomes and job insecurity. An error detection task was developed by adapting an established creativity test to examine whether the same results from the first study can be obtained using behavioural measures. In the first study, results supported the existence of cross-cultural differences in the relationship between performance outcomes and job insecurity. The second study showed similar results for self-report and observational data. To conclude, for organizations to be successful, it is highly important to understand performance outcomes of job insecurity in different national contexts and to implement measures to help employees cope with job insecurity in order to prevent negative consequences.

Full text
Abstract:

Nyckeltal är alla de relationstal som är intressanta och var och en bestämmer själv vad som är intressant (Catasús et al. 2001). En del nyckeltal är ett måste för organisationerna att redovisa på grund av att de regleras av svensk lag medan andra nyckeltal tas fram på grund av eget intresse. Det finns många grupper av nyckeltal men den här uppsatsen behandlar enbart de så kallade personalnyckeltalen. Personalnyckeltalen är en del av den personalekonomiska redovisningen (Gröjer & Johansson 1991). Den personalekonomiska redovisningen är ett verktyg i organisationer med ett syfte att lyfta fram personalfrågorna (Aronsson et al. 1994).

Det finns fyra syften med upprättandet och användandet av nyckeltal. Dessa syften är belöning, kontroll, lärande och mobilisering (Catasús et al. 2001). Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilka personalnyckeltal olika typer av organisationer tar fram och vad de har för syfte med sina personalnyckeltal. Organisationerna delas in i de två typerna marknadskopplade organisationer och budgetkopplade organisationer (Abrahamsson & Andersson 2005). Författarna ska undersöka om organisationer har liknande personalnyckeltal men om det bakomliggande syftet är olika för marknadskopplade och budgetkopplade organisationer.

Utifrån ett frågeformulär gjordes personliga intervjuer med totalt sex stycken organisationer. Volvo Wheel Loaders AB, Schott Termofrost AB, Moelven Edanesågen AB och Coffee Queen AB är de marknadskopplade organisationerna och landstinget i Värmland och Arvika kommun är de budgetkopplade organisationerna som intervjuats. Samtliga organisationer, förutom landstinget, har sin verksamhet i Arvika kommun.

Det visade sig att marknadskopplade och budgetkopplade organisationer använder liknande nyckeltal i sin verksamhet men att de marknadskopplade organisationerna är mer beroende av produktivitet och effektivitet. Utan produktivitet och effektivitet kan de lägga ner sin verksamhet till skillnad från de budgetkopplade som måste finnas kvar. De budgetkopplade är mer intresserade av hur personalen mår än hur produktiva de är. Syftet med nyckeltal är främst kontroll och belöning i båda typerna av organisationer.


Key ratios are all the ratios that are of interest and can be put in relation to something. Which ones are interesting depends on who you ask (Catasús et al. 2002). The Swedish law regulates that organizations must report certain key ratios, but other key ratios are reported voluntarily. There are many kinds of key ratios, but this essay only concerns the employee key ratios. The employee key ratios are a part of human-resource accounting (Gröjer & Johansson 1991). The human-resource accounting is a tool for creating an interest in personnel questions in organizations (Aronsson et al. 1994).

There are four purposes with establishing and using of key ratios. These purposes are control, reward, learning and mobilization (Catasús et al. 2001). The purpose of this essay is to examine which employee key ratios different kinds of organizations use and for what purpose. The organizations are divided into two types, market connected and budget connected organizations (Abrahamsson & Andersson 2005). The authors of this essay will examine if the choice of employee key ratios are similar in market connected and budget connected organizations, and if the purposes are different.

On the basis of a question form six interviews were made. Volvo Wheel Loaders AB, Schott Termofrost AB, Moelven Edanesågen AB and Coffee Queen AB were the market connected organizations and the regional health district service in Värmland as well as the local government Arvika (Arvika kommun) were the budget connected ones. All organizations except the regional health district service in Värmland have their activity in the municipality of Arvika.

After the examination it was shown that market connected and budget connected organizations use similar key ratios. It was also shown that market connected organizations are more dependent on productivity and efficiency. Without productivity and efficiency they must bring their activity to an end. Budget connected organizations can not bring their activity to an end and are more interested in the welfare of the employees than how productive they are. The main purpose of key ratios was control and reward in both types of organizations.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the technological skills and competencies needed by businesses so that business educators can meet the continuing demands of a challenging workplace. Since the office is changing so rapidly due to the integration of technology, there is a need to study periodically the skills and competencies needed by employees. The study was conducted in the South Central Kentucky Lake Cumberland Area Development District using five occupational groups: banks, hospitals/medical clinics or medical offices, insurance agencies, legal firms, and manufacturing firms. Businesses were surveyed in the following counties and town seats: Adair, Columbia; Casey, Liberty; Clinton, Albany; Cumberland, Burkesville; Green, Greensburg; McCreary, Whitley City; Pulaski, Somerset; Russell, Jamestown; Taylor, Campbellsville; and Wayne, Monticello. The Chamber of Commerce in each of the ten county seats was asked to recommend particular businesses to be surveyed. No more than five businesses from each group of business firms were surveyed in each county seat. The Chamber of Commerce list and the telephone book in each county seat were used to determine specific businesses and addresses. A cover letter and questionnaire containing 19 items were given to the five groups. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the data. The School of Business and Economics at Campbellsville University revised its Administrative Technology program based on the results of this study. Other universities, colleges, high schools, and vocational schools in the South Central Kentucky Lake Cumberland Area Development District will receive the results of this study. Each school will then have the opportunity to review its curricula and update as needed. Businesses will benefit by being made aware of what other businesses are requiring of entry-level employees. They may also receive better prepared employees if schools take advantage of the results of the study. Overall, the findings reinforced the need for business educators to teach the proper skills and competencies needed for entry-level employees to be prepared for the demands of today's offices.

Introdução: A rotatividade no trabalho consiste na movimentação de entrada e saída de uma empresa, organização ou condição de ocupação em um determinado intervalo de tempo. Representa, portanto, a dinâmica de participação dos indivíduos no mercado de trabalho. A rotatividade pode ocorrer por iniciativa do trabalhador, o qual se reinsere em um novo emprego rapidamente, ou por término de contrato ou demissão, neste caso é comum o acúmulo de períodos de desemprego. A qualidade do emprego e a qualificação dos trabalhadores são apontados como determinantes para a rotatividade e autopercepção da saúde, independentemente. As condições de emprego e trabalho têm sido reconhecidos como determinantes sociais da saúde, entretanto, as relações entre estes e a saúde ainda são inconclusivas. Objetivos: Esta tese teve por objetivos: 1) identificar fatores sociodemográficos, de saúde e trabalho associados à rotatividade no trabalho; 2) identificar fatores associados à autopercepção negativa da saúde, considerando a rotatividade no trabalho, condições de emprego e trabalho e analisando homens e mulheres separadamente; e 3)verificar a existência de mediação da rotatividade para associação entre a qualidade do emprego e a autopercepção negativa da saúde. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com amostra probabilística domiciliar por conglomerado, de estágio único, com residentes da cidade de Salvador, Bahia, em 2000. A população elegível para o estudo foi de trabalhadores ativos e ocupados com idade entre 18 e 64 anos. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de questionários individuais. A rotatividade no trabalho nos últimos 12 meses foi categorizada em: sem rotatividade; rotatividade tipo 1, com uma ou mais mudanças e período curto de desemprego; e tipo 2, pelo menos uma e tempo de desemprego acima de seis meses. Foram realizadas análises descritivas com frequências simples e relativa, estimaram-se as medidas de associação entre as covariáveis e a rotatividade no trabalho. Em seguida, realizou-se análise para identificação dos preditores potenciais para autopercepção negativa da saúde. Para verificação do efeito de mediação da rotatividade na associação entre a qualidade do emprego e a autopercepção da saúde foi elaborado um modelo teórico e realizadas análises com equações estruturais. Resultados: A população do estudo compreendeu 3.227 trabalhadores, dentre os quais a prevalência geral de autopercepção negativa da saúde foi de 11,1%. A proporção de trabalhadores com rotatividade tipo 1 foi de 13,4% e do tipo 2 de 11,4%. A proporção de trabalhadores com rotatividade diminuiu com o aumento da idade. Trabalhadores que tiveram rotatividade do tipo 2 foram os que receberam salário abaixo do mínimo (ORadj = 2,24; IC 95%: 1,63 – 3,07), não tinham carteira assinada (ORadj= 2,24; IC 95%: 1,62 – 3,10) e seguro de acidente de trabalho (ORadj= 2,38; IC 95%: 1,52 – 3,73), ajustados por sexo, idade e ter filhos menores de 6 anos. Os principais preditores para a autopercepção negativa da saúde foram sexo feminino, idade ente 44 e 64 anos, ausência de apoio social, ter faltado ao trabalho por doença e possuir uma baixa qualificação ocupacional. Na análise separada por sexo, apenas entre as mulheres, ter idade acima de 44 anos (ORadj = 1,43; IC95%: 1,06 – 1,94) e a ausência de apoio social da família (ORadj = 1,71; IC95%: 1,29 – 2,27) foram preditores de autopercepção negativa da saúde. Por fim, a rotatividade, independentemente do tipo, não foi mediadora da associação entre a baixa qualidade do emprego e a autopercepção negativa da saúde. Todavia, emprego de menor qualidade foi diretamente associado com a rotatividade tipo 2 (β= 0,641) e também com a autopercepção negativa da saúde (β= 0,241). A baixa qualificação do trabalhador se associou diretamente com emprego de menor qualidade e também com a autopercepção negativa da saúde. Conclusões: A rotatividade no trabalho, do Brasil, é uma das maiores do mundo, pode ser decorrente das condições de precariedade do emprego e também da saúde do trabalhador. Dentre os fatores ocupacionais, a baixa qualidade do emprego e a pouca qualificação ocupacional foram mais importantes que a rotatividade para predizer a autopercepção negativa da saúde, em ambos os sexos. Para as mulheres, acrescenta-se a falta de apoio no cuidado da família, o que pode representar sobrecarga de trabalho. Os trabalhadores inseridos em empregos de baixa qualidade apresentaram mais comumente rotatividade com episódios de desemprego prolongado. Entretanto, esta não apresentou papel de mediação no efeito sobre a autopercepção negativa da saúde. A redução de rotatividade no trabalho, sobretudo do tipo 2, requer investimentos na melhoria da qualidade do emprego e aumento da qualificação dos trabalhadores, iniciativas nesse sentido poderão repercutir em melhores condições de vida, trabalho e saúde.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Metropolitan Holdings Limited is a life insurance and investment company with a well-recognised brand, operating in a competitive environment. The Metropolitan Doyle model that the company developed in the 1980s was the first of its kind and is used to predict the course and impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Metropolitan has since been actively engaged in developing insurance products, designed to take HIV/AIDS into account. It has, moreover been active in advocating action on a wide range of issue relating to the disease, not least through its RedRibbon website, the publication of the respected journal, AIDS Analysis Africa, and through various community initiatives, particularly involving HIV/AIDS education. The company’s external work on the issue of HIV/AIDS is therefore well recognised. Although it has had an internal programme for several years, it has only seriously addressed the HIV/AIDS in the workplace since 2003 and in so doing, has not found the necessity of using any existing models of best practice. This case study examines the guidelines of a comprehensive HIV/AIDS programme, as set out by the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, with a view to finding out whether and to what extent a company such as Metropolitan might have implemented its recommendations and what impact it might have in the fight against HIV/AIDS in the workplace. The case study further examines the likely impact of the King II recommendations relating to the disclosure requirements on HIV/AIDS (in conjunction with the Global Reporting Initiative Guidelines) with a view to assessing whether these can enable a company such as Metropolitan, to have regard to the impact of the disease on the sustainability of their business and the steps that might be taken to mitigate the impact.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Metropolitan Holdings Beperk is ‘n lewensversekerings – en beleggingsmaatskappy, met ‘n alombekende handelsmerk, wat in ‘n kompeterende omgewing funksioneer. Die Metropolitan-Doyle model wat deur die maatskappy in die 1980’s ontwikkel is, was die eerste in sy soort, en word gebruik om die verloop en impak van die MIV/VIGS pandemie te voorspel. Metropolitan is sedertdien aktief betrokke in die ontwikkeling van versekeringsprodukte, was spesifiek ook MIV/VIGS as oogmerk het. Die maatskappy is boonop besig om betrokkenheid oor ‘n wye spektrum van uitkomste verwant aan die siekte te propageer, veral deur die RedRibbonwebtuiste, die publikasie van die hoogaangeskrewe joernaal, AIDS Analysis Africa, en deur verskeie gemeenskapsinisiatiewe wat spesifiek die opvoeding aangaande MIV/VIGS insluit. Die maatskappy se eksterne werk op die aangeleentheid van MIV/VIGS word dus wyd erken. Alhoewel dit ook al verskeie jare oor ‘n interne program beskik, is dit eers sedert 2003 dat MIV/VIGS in die werkplek ernstig aangespreek word. Deur dit so te doen, is daar nie die nodigheid gesien om enige bestaande modelle wat die beste werk, te gebruik nie. Hierdie gevallestudie ondersoek die riglyne van ‘n omvattende MIV/VIGS program, soos uiteengesit deur die Global Business Coalition oor MIV/VIGS, met die oogmerk om uit te vind tot watter mate ‘n maatskappy soos Metropolitan sy aanbevelings mag implementeer en watter impak dit mag hê op die bestryding van MIV/VIGS in die werkplek. Die gevallestudie ondersoek verder die waarskynlike impak van die King IIaanbevelings rakende die openbaarmakende vereistes oor MIV/VIGS (in samehang met die Global Reporting Initiative Riglyne) met die oogmerk om te bepaal of bogenoemde ‘n maatskappy soos Metropolitan in staat kan stel om geleentheid te hê tot die impak van die siekte op die volhoubaarheid van hul besigheid en die stappe wat geneem mag word om die impak te beheer.

A research report submitted to the faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management (Business and Executive Coaching) Johannesburg, 2017
The objective of the study was to explore how a coaching leadership style adopted by Managers in different organisations, influences the relationships they have with their direct reports. The study used the qualitative method and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 participants, comprising 13 Managers and nine Direct Reports in various organisations in private and public sectors based in Gauteng, South Africa. This study contributes to the research and literature available on coaching leadership style and employee coaching, which occurs when an employee works one-on-one with his/her direct manager to improve his/her work performance and other areas that need attention. Executive Coaching has been extensively researched and refers to when an executive in an organisation is being coached by an external coach who is normally chosen by the Executive and paid for by the organisation. In Employee Coaching however, the coaching is conducted by the direct Manager and the employee has no choice in who the Manager is. Relationships between Manager and Direct Report are therefore crucial and these could be influenced by the Manager‟s leadership style. The findings suggest that within a South African context, the term “Coaching Leadership Style” is not a term that is widely used in organisations to describe a leadership style, however this style emerged through the behaviours that the Managers displayed. The findings further posit that coaching plays a pivotal role in influencing relationships between a Manager and his/her Direct Reports and that coaching may also cause shifts in leadership styles. The research provides insight into the leadership styles that Managers prefer to adopt and deepened understanding of how coaching adds value in a leadership context. The results add to the body of knowledge on how coaching affects leadership effectiveness and how it influences relationships between Managers and Direct Reports.

Abstract:
The traditional focus of financial reporting has been on meeting the needs of investors and creditors. However, meeting the needs of other users of financial reports, particularly the employees, cannot be ignored. Employee reporting has therefore evolved as a form of reporting which meets the needs of employees for information about the enterprise for which they work. In South Africa, this is a particularly pertinent topic as a result of recent developments which highlight the need to provide other users with information and emphasize the rights of employees. Furthermore, companies in South Africa are producing employee reports although there is no guidance by any regulatory bodies as to the form and contents of such reports. This study examines the desirability of employee reporting in South Africa with emphasis on the theoretical background to the subject, and the attitudes of employers and public accountants towards the desirability of employee reporting, its form and contents, and public accountant involvement with published employee reports. After analysis, it was concluded: (1) There is a need for employee reporting. (2) Although the average response provided support for a separate employee report issued annually as the most desirable form of employee reporting, employers preferred regular meetings as the form of employee reporting. (3) Public accountant involvement with published employee reports is undesirable. (4) More research is needed. These conclusions support the following recommendations. (1) SAICA should show support for the disclosures required by The King report on corporate governance. (2) SAICA should re-instate the Employee Report Award. (3) The communication role of employee reporting should be emphasized. (4) There should be no regulatory interference with the form of employee reporting at the moment.

The purpose of the research is to compare the quantity and quality of reporting on the employees of companies with the profitability and size of the top 100 companies over a four year period. The research is limited to the availability of quality information on employees in the financial statements of companies. A literature study is followed by an emperical inquiry into a comparison of the reporting on employees with the profitability and size of companies. The results reflect the following: * the quantity and quality of reporting on the employees of companies does not inevitably show an increase; * a significant relationship exist between the size and profitability of companies; * the role of reporting on the employees of companies is significant with regards to profit determination; and * some of the companies performed uniquely with regards to the quantity and quality of reporting on the employees of companies.

Abstract:
This study attempts to investigate one of the most cited reasons for the failure of organisational change efforts: individual resistance to change. It also seeks to determine what personal manifestations need to exist in order for an organisation to adequately establish the extent to which a proposed change effort will yield a successful outcome. This was evaluated through the job constructs of communication, job-insecurity, participation, procedural justice and trust. The research also Management and Change Agent roles within the change process to determine whether this had an impact on the individual change experience at a cognitive and behavioural level. In a South African Motor Manufacturing company data was obtained from 306 respondents. The findings clearly indicate that a positive experience of the job constructs is likely to result in positive individual change which will result in a successful implementation and sustainability of the change initiative.

Based on “Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion” (WHO, 1986), health promotion hospital development is the delivery of reorienting health services. Taipei City government, Department of Health there held Health promotion hospital accreditation in 2002 and 2005, however, practice of health promotion lifestyle among employees of accredited health promotion hospitals remains unknown. The target population of this study was all types of employees in the hospital, a cross-sectional design was utilized, and the structured questionnaire was used. A total of 594 cases (response rate 89%) were collected from a medical center in Taipei which was accredited as health promotion hospital in both years. The purpose of this study was: 1) to examine health promotion lifestyle profile (HPLP) among employees in the hospital; 2) to explore the relationships of demographic and work characteristics, expectation and utilization of supportive environment for health in the hospital on employees’ practice of HPLP; and 3) to determine the most important factors that predict HPLP. The research subjects was mainly women, university graduated, unmarried, insured, without kid, religious belief or major chronic conditions, and with normal BMI and income level between 40000-59999 NT dollars. The mean age was 30.84+7.94 years old, and perceived health status was 5.91 (SD=1.36, range 3-9). In terms of work characteristics, majority of subjects were from nursing department, working 8-10 hours per day, without regular holidays, required on duty shift, with stand-walking physical activity pattern. The mean working experience was 5.86+4.58 years, and perceived working load was very high (11.05+2.76). The total HPLP was 1.86+ 0.82, indicating that subjects only “occasionally” and “often” practice health promotion behaviors. Comparing 7 subscales of HPLP, subjects ranked highest on work protection (2.19+0.62) and interpersonal support (2.14+0.59), and lowest on exercise (1.17+0.62). On the expectation of supported environment for health, the employees perceived psychological health (4.93+0.70) and cancer prevention (4.43+0.58 ) were the most urgent, and exercise (4.17+0.70) and weight control (4.12+0.64) the least. On the opposite, employees utilized these environment facilities highest on nutrition (1.25+0.82) and weight control (1.04+0.72), and lowest on tobacco control (0.83+0.83). Factors positively related to HPLP were: married, with faith, income level of 60000-79999 dollars per month, having children and worked as the manager. In addition, age, perceived health status and work experience also positively correlated with HPLP. Perceived working load was on the other hand negatively correlated with HPLP. All subscales of expectation and utilization of supportive environment for health, except cancer prevention, were positively correlated with HPLP. Result of stepwise regression indicated that expectation of the health environment, perceived health status, faith, utilization of the health environment, education, perceived working load, job position could significantly predict HPLP, and could explain 27% of total variance. Reinforce on supportive environment for health was recommended for health promoting hospital accreditation based on results of this study.

In a modern democratic society, election has become the most common way in which people participate in politics. Moreover, voting is the presentation and consequences of people’s opinions. Therefore, during the period of election, all the information people saw or heard through the mass media might influence people’s decisions of their votes, their attitudes, and their behaviors. Along with the strengthening of Taiwan’s democracy, the political cultures in Taiwan have been changing. Meanwhile, the interactions between politicians and mass media and the distributions of powers have been changing. The relationships between the political systems and the news media are multiple and complicated. The reporters, the elementary gate keeper, are certainly the first target the candidates want to influence. The various ways of influence, either “threatening” or “seduction”, create “pressure” on the reporters when they report news relevant to the election. Thus, the motivation and purposes of this study were to investigate the strategies the reporters employed when they encountered pressure. This study made use of questionnaires to collect data. This study surveyed the reporters in the big Kaohsiung area (Kaohsiung City and Kaohsiung County) to analyze “the strategies the reporters employed when they encountered pressure.” This study recruited 113 valid questionnaires. The results show that when the reporters reported news relevant to the 2004 legislators’ election, the pressure the reporters in the big Kaohsiung area received was lobbying, followed by advertisements and other stress related to profits. The pressure from the news office was also common. As a result, the attempts to influence news about the election were multiple. As for the pressure from the gangsters, it was rare; less than 10 percent of the subjects had ever received such pressure. As far as the strategies employed, a high percentage of the reporters in the big Kaohsiung area adopted the strategy “compromise”, followed by “direct confrontation” and “ignorance”. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that “compromise” was the most frequent strategy adopted by the reporters when they received pressure from the news office. This finding illustrates that the key influence on the reporters came from the controlling power of the media organizations. When it comes to the advertisements and other stress related to profits, the reporters usually employed the strategies “compromise” and “cooperation”; the percentage reached 80%. Such an overwhelming percentage demonstrates the serious interference from the departments of advertisements and businesses in news reports.

This study used a new automatic attitude activation measurement, called “Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP)”, to explore the differences between the automatic attitude and the self-report attitude toward the nuclear power plants. Both types of attitudes of the employees of nuclear power plants, their nearby residents, and ordinary masses were also compared and contrast. Moreover, this study also investigated the possible enhancement of supporting the nuclear power plants through reading an article concerning the advantages in the nuclear power and problems on the climate change. The results revealed that the nuclear power plant employees were more supportive of the nuclear power plants than their nearby residents and ordinary masses in self-report attitude, but were nastier than the nearby residents and ordinary masses in the automatic attitudes measured by AMP. Only slightly attitudes were changed to the support of nuclear power plants in the self-report attitudes after reading the article concerning problems on the climate change. The opposite results of self reported versus automatic attitudes were discussed.
