Previous research that addressed determents of employer satisfaction with employees with a disability (EWDs) mainly targeted employers’ perceptions of workplace performance. This thesis used quantitative and qualitative approaches to examine perspectives of employers and disability employment service providers (DESPs) on the complex nature of employer satisfaction with EWDs within an ecological paradigm. Three studies were undertaken. The first analysed questionnaire ratings for 656 employers of workplace performance of EWDs. Analyses found: (1) employers rated EWDs lower than non-disabled employees (NDEs) on employer satisfaction and work performance; (2) determinants of employer satisfaction differed between EWDs and NDEs; (3) employers were more satisfied with EWDs than NDEs in relation to work performance; (4) lower comparative ratings on employer satisfaction for EWDs influenced future employment intentions toward people with a disability; (5) employers’ perceptions of job-match affected ratings on employer satisfaction and performance; (6) effects of job-match on employer satisfaction were direct and indirect, through work performance; and (7) variables representing job-match were relatively more important to employers’ decisions to hire and retain a person with a disability than variables representing Social Concerns and employer/management items. A theoretical model that depicted the influence of processes (job-match) and outcomes (work performance) on employer satisfaction with EWDs was supported. The second study analysed questionnaire ratings from 36 non-employers of EWDs. Findings indicated very similar responses between employers and non-employers of EWDs on experiences related to employer satisfaction with NDEs. Views about the relative importance of variable related to hiring and retaining a person with a disability suggested that generalising findings from the first study to all employers was reasonable. The third study analysed data from interviews with 50 employers and 40 DESPs; and questionnaire responses for 56 DESPs and 36 non-employers of EWDs. This study validated the importance of job-match to successful employment outcomes; suggesting DESPs were undervaluing their services to the employers. The study also showed that Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory provided a relevant framework with which to interpret complex information from different stakeholders, important to understanding employer satisfaction. In summary, employer satisfaction was shown to be a relative concept that varied with referent, and a developmental phenomenon that was influences by many factors operating and interacting at a number of ecological levels. Policies and practices to promote employer satisfaction with EWDs need co-ordinated approaches that recognise the influence of contexts internal and external to the workplace and the dynamic nature and interrelationships of characteristics within these contexts.

A referida reforma, contextualizada na atual fase de reorganização produtiva do capital (1997-2006), retorna a tradicional dualidade entre Ensino Profissionalizante e Ensino Médio e institui o currículo por competências. A partir do Decreto 2.208/97, a certificação de competências pela formação realizada, pressupõe cadastro dos estabelecimentos de ensino, que mantém cursos profissionalizantes, no MEC e no CREA/PB. Para certificar competências, as Escolas Técnicas iniciaram o processo de reformas, relativamente às organizações do ensino e do currículo. Enquanto integrante do quadro funcional da Escola Agrotécnica do Cajueiro, na qualidade de professora, há mais de 25 anos, vivenciamos essa reforma, no decorrer dos anos 1999-2006. O clima de tensão gerado pelas dificuldades e problemas enfrentados, no cotidiano institucional, nos instigou à realização desta pesquisa. Assumimos, como objeto de investigação a (re) significação da reforma instituída pelo Decreto 2.208/97, especificamente, o estudo do currículo por competências. Definimos como objetivos: analisar os impactos da reforma pedagógica implantada na referida Instituição e as implicações dessa reforma na dinâmica escolar e no trabalho docente. Para a investigação teórica, assumimos abordagens críticas sobre o trabalho (Marx e autores que reafirmam a centralidade do trabalho), sobre as reformas da Educação Profissional no Brasil e sobre o currículo. Para a abordagem metodológica, priorizamos a análise do discurso, fundamentada em Bakhtin, pela compatibilidade com os propósitos do estudo. A pesquisa empírica realizou-se na Escola Agrotécnica do Cajueiro, no decorrer do ano letivo de 2006. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram os/as professores/as e gestores do Curso Técnico em Agropecuária. Como instrumentos de coleta dos dados, utilizamos entrevistas semi-estruturadas e documentos oficiais, que materializam a reforma. Os dados coletados foram sistematizados, através das seguintes categorias: a organização administrativa da reforma e a organização pedagógica. As sínteses produzidas revelam: distorções entre dispositivos legais/normativos e práticas reformistas; inconsistências teóricas, relativamente ao discurso das competências e à implantação das mesmas na educação; burocratização, desqualificação e desvalorização do trabalho docente; além de reforço à contradição capital-trabalho. Para além das sínteses, apostamos no movimento da história e mantemos a crença no ser humano e na educação, enquanto o capital insiste em destruí-los .

Lorsque le sportif professionnel exerce son activité en tant que salarié, il devrait disposer d’un contrat de travail classique soumis au droit commun. Toutefois, la spécificité du monde sportif complexifie les rapports contractuels que peut entretenir un sportif. En effet, la discontinuité des rapports contractuels, conséquence des transferts et prêts dont peuvent faire l’objet des joueurs, ou encore la règlementation sportive mise en place par les autorités sportives font que le législateur a dû s’adapter pour répondre correctement à l’originalité du monde sportif. Il a ainsi introduit, par le biais de la loi du 27 novembre 2015, le contrat à durée déterminée spécifique pour les sportifs et entraîneurs professionnels qui a permis de mettre fin à une incertitude juridique. Mais la spécificité du sport est également liée au rapport délicat qui existe entre les règles purement sportives et la législation étatique. La règlementation antidopage illustre parfaitement ce propos car il n’a vocation à s’appliquer que dans le monde du sport. Ainsi, pour préserver l’équité des manifestations sportives, il a été nécessaire de définir la notion de dopage mais surtout de rendre la lutte internationale en obligeant les différents États à intégrer les règlements en la matière au sein de leurs législations. La rencontre de ces différentes autorités permet d’expliquer la complexité du traitement juridique d’un fait de dopage d’un sportif. En effet, le sportif professionnel va faire face à plusieurs procédures qui peuvent entrer en conflit les uns avec les autres. La première est celle qui se tiendra devant la justice fédérale qui peuvent prononcer une sanction sportive. Les co-contractants du sportif peuvent également introduire une action afin d’obtenir réparation de leurs préjudices. Finalement, il est nécessaire de prendre en compte la possibilité que des poursuites pénales puissent être engagé à l’encontre du sportif qui se rend responsable d’un fait de dopage
When the professionnal sportsman carry out his activity as an employee, he should have a classic work contract subject to the ordinary law. However, the specificity of the sports world further complicate the contractual relationship that the sportsman can have. Indeed, the discontinuity of the contractual relations, resulting of the players’ transfers and loans, or the rules governing sport implimented by the sports authorithies have forced the legislator to adapt himself and to take in account the uniqueness of the sports world. He thus incorporated, through the law of 27th november 2015, a specific fixed-term contract for the professionnal sportsmen and trainers which has put an end to the legal uncertainty. But the specificity of sport is also linked to the delicate balance existing between the purely sporting rules and the state legislation. The anti-doping regulation is a good example of this because it is intended to apply only in the sports world. Therefore, to preserve the fairness during the sport events, is was necessary to define the notion of doping but especially to make the fight international by forcing the different states to adopt the regulations into their legislations. The meeting between these different autorities can explain the complexity of the legal treatment of a doping case. Indeed, the professionnal sportsman will face different procedures who can be in conflict with each other. The first one is the procedure held before the federal justice who can pronounce a sporting sanction. The other contracting partners of the sportsman can also introduce an action to obtain redress for the injury caused. Finally, it is necessary to take in account the possibility that criminal proceedings are taken against the sportsman who is guilty of a doping case

This essay is focusing on the connection between insecure employment within temporary agency work and the psychological health in young adults and immigrants. Groups who are overrepresented as employees at the agencies. The employers responsibility for a safe work environment have also been analysed regarding the psychological health for the employees within temporary work agencies. Two questions have been answered to be able to investigate this; how the employers responsibility for a good organizational and psychological work environment meets the special needs of employees within temporary work agencies and how the psychological health in young adults and immigrants is affected by insecure employment. In this essay I used the jurisprudence method with focus on the doctrinal method since the written material is the main source of material which I connected to the sources of law. I have used both international and national law together with literature, reports, articles and electronic sources to give the essay an extensive ground to stand on. Finally, I reach the conclusion that the employers’ responsibility for a well-functioning organizational and psychological work environment for employees within temporary work agencies are inadequate. The explanation is that the general design of the contracts to which the employers and the customer companies enter into, usually makes the employers absent from the workplace which limit their ability to implement proper work adjustments for the employees.  Neither can the employer control which type of work that is available which makes it hard for the agency to make sure the employee can evolve within the job. The mutual responsibilities between the temporary work agency and the client company risk to put the employee in danger since some responsibilities easily can be neglected by both parties. When it comes to what kind of factors that have a negative effect on the young adults and immigrant’s psychological health because of insecure work I found that the main factors were; high expectations, few social relations to other employees and to not be able to control their own work. The factor of an insecure future was also found to have a negative effect.

Thesis (M. Ed.) -- University of Limpopo, 2016
This mini-dissertation describes the research report carried out at Senwamokgope Township, Greater Letaba Municipality in Limpopo Province where a study was undertaken to investigate the effects of training offered in Expanded Public Works Programme projects on youth employability. The research is undertaken at a time in South Africa where job losses and retrenchment of employees are experienced in all sectors of government and the private sector. The South African government took a serious stance in their approach towards job creation by introducing trainings that are supposedly aimed at creating job opportunities for all citizens across the country with special attention to women and the youths. The aim of my study is to investigate whether the training offered during EPWP projects contribute to youth employability. As the researcher I therefore came up with the following questions;  What are the effects of training offered in the Expanded Public Works Programme on youth employability at Senwamokgope Township? To answer this question adequately I added sub questions. These are listed below;  How many youths according to gender are offered training?  What kind of training is been offered to youths in Expanded Public Works Programme?  How is the training contributing to employability of youths?  What are the characteristics of the youths participating in the Expanded Public Works Programme? ii This study seeks to answer the questions mentioned above. It is an attempt to determine the effects that are brought about by the intervention strategies that government engages its people in order to create work opportunities and jobs. If the effectiveness of the training can be seen it will subsequently serve the purpose of encouraging youth participation in other programmes. Data was collected through interviews. The training provider, 1 contractor, 8 youths and one official from Greater Letaba Municipality were interviewed. The data collected was then analyzed and a detailed report was drawn up with recommendations. The data was analysed using a data matrix and in conclusion the following findings were made.  All youths who went through the training are glad that they were trained .They have achieved skills which they did not have before the training.  The study has revealed that the municipality spends more money in wages on youths according to the labour force.  The effort by government through the municipality in EPWP has brought an increased number of youths in to the work environment and this has reduced the number of idle youths.  This initiative of the government has aroused confidence in the youth and they begin to aspire for greater things.  In the past years the Greater Letaba Municipality has been able to create jobs in Senwamokgope Township where youths benefitted in large numbers

The objective of this study was to identify the strategies (personal and organisational) that would enable South African women to break through the glass ceiling. A questionaire was designed based on the strategies found in a literature study on the topic and used to gather inputs from executive women in South Africa. A combination of snowball and self-selection sampling was used. The questionaire was sent to 138 potential respondents, mostly by means of electronic mail. Of the 47 completed questionairs returned, 44 could be used. These were processed and anaylsed using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and the STATISTICA Version 6 software. In generaL, support was found for personal strategies pertaining to career management, networking (especially the relationship building activities), the reconciliation of home and work responsibilities with the emphasis on building a support system, education, business and organisational insught, skills development and increased input, but not for the assimilation of masculine attributes. Networking opportunities and education, training and development activities were regarded as the organisational strategies with the strongest impact on career progress. The literature was confirmed regarding top management support, an organisational culture conducive to women's advancement, mentorship programmes and a few career development initiatives. Although more than half of the respondents had been exposed to employment equity and affirmative action programmes, they were perceived to have only little to moderate impact on career progress. This was also the case with diversity management programmes. Flexible work arrangements, career adaptation schemes and childcare facilities and programmes were seen as having had little impact on the respondents' career advancement. Only a few of the organisational practices to support women balancing family and work responsibilities were utilised by the respondents' employers. Respondents perceived personal strategies as having greater value than organisational strategies in their progress to executive levels.

Cette thèse entend démontrer par le recours à la comparaison que le principe de séparation des pouvoirs civils et militaires constitue un élément fondamental des Etats de tradition libérale. En droit, elle prend la forme d’incompatibilités. Dans un premier temps, suite aux expériences de confusion des pouvoirs civils et militaires cette séparation a pris la forme d’une incompatibilité entre le militaire et l’électeur. Dans un second temps, cette séparation a pris la forme d’une incompatibilité entre le militaire et le représentant
This comparative study aims to demonstrate that the principle of separation of civil and military powers is a fundamental part of States with liberal tradition. In law it takes the form of incompatibilities. In law, it takes the form of incompatibilities. Initially, following the experiences of confusion of civil and military powers that separation has taken the shape of an incompatibility between the military and the voter. In a second step, this separation has taken the shape of a mismatch between the military and the representative

A partir du constat d’un processus de féminisation des Coopératives d’Activité et d’Emploi (CAE) en France nous posons la question : pourquoi les CAE, qui sont des structures mixtes d’accompagnement à la création et au développement d’activité, attirent-elles plus les femmes ? Pour mieux comprendre ce phénomène nous « chaussons les lunettes » sociologiques avec les verres de « genre » afin d’analyser le processus d’engagement des femmes dans un parcours entrepreneurial dans les CAE. L’analyse de ce phénomène social avec les lunettes Genre permet de dépasser une vision idéalisée que nous pourrions avoir de l’innovation sociale que représente les CAE ainsi qu’une approche simplement critique de reproduction des inégalités sociales et sexuées pour aller vers une approche nuancée des expériences des entrepreneures salariées. Les CAE constituent une « opportunité professionnelle » pour des femmes engagées dans un processus de mobilité professionnelle suite à une impasse professionnelle et/ou un sentiment d’insatisfaction dans leur parcours. Ce besoin d’entreprendre « autrement » semble trouver une réponse auprès du statut hybride « d’entrepreneur salarié » et du cadre d’emploi qui y est proposé. Cependant, les femmes ne sont pas à égalité dans cette aventure car l’engagement entrepreneurial dans ses formes dépend des trajectoires biographiques frappées du sceau de genre
At the starting point of process of feminization of the Cooperatives of Activities and Employement (CAE) in France we ask the question : why the CAE, wich are mixed structures of accompaniement to the creation and development of activity attract more women ? To better understand this phenomenon we « wear glasses » sociological with the glasses of « gender » in order to analyse the process of engagement of women in an entrepreneurial career in the CAE. The analysis of this social phenomenon with the gender glasses exceed an idealized vision that we could have social innovation that represents the CAE as a simply critical approach of reproduction of social and gender related inequalities toward an approach balanced experiences of women employed entrepreneurs. The CAE is a buisness opportunity for women engaged in a process of professionnal mobility following a professional deadlock and/or a feeling of dissatisfaction in their carieer. This need to undertake « differently » seems to find an answer to the hybrid status « salaried entrepreneur » and the employment framework that is proposed. However, women are not equal in this adventure because entrepreneurial commitment in its forms depends on the biographical trajectories hit the seal of gender

 

This essay aim to clear the regulations that adjusts the use of non-compete clauses in contracts of employement. The historical developement shows tendencies that more employees have contracts that includes non-compete clauses. This developement does not always correspond with what is allowed concerning these clauses. Non-compete clauses is adjusted by the regulations in the collective agreement known as the agreement of 1969. The agreement has also been accepted outside its regular field of application. Apart from the just mentioned agreement, unreasonable conditions of contracts kan be adapted to what is fair accordning to the swedish constitution of agreements. The paragraphs in question is the 36 and the 38 §§, that adjusts when you can shift the conditions. The 38 § is more applyable when it comes to conditions about non-compete clauses. The use of non-compete clauses is also regulated by practice in the court of law, the labour court. Many of the regulations are unspecified in their design. It is possible that these unspecified concepts are essential to maintain the possibility of applying the concepts to a larger amount of cases. The metaphysical concepts of the jurisprudence has been criticized several times during the historical developement, for example by the upholders of the positivistic Uppsala school of philosophy (the Scandinavian legal realism). The facts remains that because of its open device of concepts, the jurisprudence becomes dynamic and useable in a lot more contexts.

 

Les travaux présentés dans cette thèse s’intéressent aux rendements individuels de l’éducation et de la formation, et cherchent à mettre en évidence des modalités d’intervention publique plus efficaces pour accroître ces rendements. Les deux premiers chapitres de ce travail étudient la manière dont les rendements des investissements individuels en éducation peuvent être optimisés en améliorant l’efficacité des systèmes éducatifs et de formation professionnelle. La dernière étude porte sur les liens entre l’investissement en capital humain et l’environnement légal ou économique qui l’encadre. Le premier article de cette thèse s’intéresse en particulier à l’effet de la scolarisation dans une école privée française en CP et CE1 sur les résultats scolaires en CE2. Le second chapitre vise à mesurer l’efficacité des formations certifiantes destinées aux demandeurs d’emploi français sur leur retour en emploi. La dernière étude montre le lien existant entre la flexibilisation du marché du travail anglais et l’accès à la formation des salariés. Les analyses réalisées reposent sur des méthodes microéconométriques qui visent à identifier l’effet causal des politiques publiques étudiées. Nous utilisons ainsi la méthode des variables instrumentales et celle des différences de différences. Cette thèse repose également sur l’estimation de modèles de durée, en utilisant la méthode du "timing-of-events" ou en estimant un modèle à risques concurrents bivarié
This thesis work focuses on individual returns to education and training, and aims at highlighting more efficient public interventions in order to increase these returns. The first two chapters of this study consider how returns to individual investments can be optimized by improving public policies efficiency in the field of education and vocational training. The last study analyzes the link between investment in human capital and the legal and economic environment in which it is realized. In details, the first article of this thesis focuses on the effect of private schooling during the first and second grade in France on test scores achievement in third grade. The second chapter aims at measuring the efficiency of certifying training programs followed by unemployed individuals on their probability to find a job. The last study shows the link between the English labor market flexibility and workers’ access to training. The analyses conducted rely on microeconometric methodologies which aim at identifying the causal effect of considered public policies. We thus use the instrumental variable methodology as well as the difference-in-difference one. This thesis also relies on the estimation of duration models, using the “timing-of-events” methodology, and estimating a bivariate competing risks model

71 Invalid and Apparent Termination of Employment by the Employer Abstract This diploma thesis deals with an everlasting issue: invalid and apparent termination of employment by the employer. The text of the thesis is divided into five chapters, further segmented into subchapters, some of these consisting of even lower level chapters. The first chapter covers the historical development of labor law and its separation from civil law into a separate branch of law with its own code. The following chapter defines the basic legal concepts, which are employment and legal transaction, as well as the invalidity and appearance of legal transactions. The second chapter also contains a reflection on the meaningfulness of the legal institute of appearance of a legal transaction. In the third chapter are analyzed specifics of the invalidity of legal transactions in labor law and the consequences of invalidity of the employment termination.

It was also necessary to cover the ineffective delivery of a document which leads to the...

Thesis (M. Tech. (Labour Relations Management)--Vaal University of Technology
When the South African authorities decided, in the 1970's, to recognize statutorily other Black workers who were engaged in other spheres of employment as employees, domestic workers were excluded from all Industrial Legislation. This resulted from the fact that domestic work, as an occupation, had been excluded from the definition of an employee. It is estimated that over one million people are engaged in this service, comprising eleven percent of overall employment in the informal sector of the South African economy. This significantly large sector of the labour market performs its work under some of the most oppressive working conditions and such exploitation is unchallenged, as it has been noted that some domestic workers do not sign contracts of employment with their employers on appointment, which can lead to insecurity in the domestic worker sector. The purpose of this research was to determine the efficiency of the contract of employment and its effect on the job security of domestic workers. Through a theoretical foundation, a number of studies have advocated that the contract of employment can be trusted to be the perfect instrument in securing jobs in the domestic sector. A survey was carried out for measuring job security. The research instruments used for data collection from 203 domestic workers, were interviews and questionnaires. The SPSS program was used to analyze the data. The results of the empirical study are presented and discussed in detail. Findings of this study revealed, that the majority of domestic workers don't have contracts of employment while a very small percentage of domestic workers do have contracts. Conclusions drawn, indicated that domestic workers who have signed contracts, enjoy reasonable conditions of employment and employment benefits than those without contracts. Recommendations based on this study are that the government encourages a very strong Trade Union Movement in the domestic sector services. The Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) and/or the Department of Labour facilitates annual workshops for employers of domestic workers. The CCMA, Trade Unions and/or the Department of labour facilitate training programmes for domestic workers. The government makes it a binding norm, for every employer in the domestic sector, to conclude a contract of employment with his/her domestic worker and furnish such employee with a copy of the contract, regardless of the nature of services rendered by employee. Ongoing research on many aspects of domestic workers will enhance better conditions of employment in making the lawmakers aware of other hidden agendas that require attendance in the domestic sector.
