Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Employment profile'

Cultural diversity in the United States is an issue of concern and organizations must now learn to function effectively with an increasingly diverse workforce. Since the history of U.S. organizations is a history of institutional discrimination against most ethnic and racial groups of people and the privileging of a dominant group, managing workforce diversity now constitutes one of the most difficult and important issues human resource professionals address. This study is concerned with the issues of workforce diversity, most specifically with how organizational members understand and respond to discrimination, and the utilization of this understanding to discuss implications for diversity trainers. The study analyzed data from a workshop questionnaire administered to individuals who participated in a specific organization-wide diversity training program. Self-reported critical incidents were used in gathering data about organizational members' perceptions and understandings around discrimination. An analysis of short answer self-reported responses was conducted, followed by a analysis of themes by age, ethnicity and gender. Emergent themes suggest that most organizational members encountered discriminatory incidents in the context of ongoing relationships, suggesting that it would be important for members to consider their responses in light of future consequences for the relationship. Since there are power dimensions inherent in many situations and there is a dominant cultural perception that conflict is destructive to relationships, responding to discriminatory situations may be perceived as a very high risk behavior. Many participants had difficulty responding assertively at the time of the incident and reported feeling uncomfortable, angry, hurt, embarrassed or sad about the incident. Even after thinking about it, most were still limited in their ability to think of alternative responses. Since most discriminatory incidents occurred in the context of ongoing relationships, diversity trainers and organizations may need to include a discussion of the power dimensions involved in addressing discrimination as well as address the overall U.S. cultural perception that conflict can only damage relationships. Diversity trainers as well as organizations may want to help their members frame conflict as opportunity for relationship development and discriminatory incidents as opportunity for learning.

The purpose of this study is to discover if there has been quantitative change in the gender balance of the employment profile of the ACT Department of Education from 1976 to 1991 and to explore possible reasons for such change. It should be noted that the Department has had several changes of name over the period covered by this study including the ACT Department of Education, the ACT Department of Health, Education and the Arts, and it is presently known as the ACT Department of Education and Training. For the sake of clarity it will be referred to throughout as the ACT Department of Education. The employment configuration will be studied from 1976, the earliest year of available data, to 1991 to measure relative changes in the position of men and women. This paper will examine significant events in the ACT Education system, in particular the introduction of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) legislation in 1984, to determine whether the introduction of legislation and/or other initiatives brought about moves toward Equal Employment Opportunity for women. The study will develop and consider hypotheses and examine several theoretical explanations for the changes or lack of them in the position of men and women. Recommendations will be made concerning future directions for research and action to achieve equal employment opportunity for women, the largest group of the four groups targeted in the EEO legislation. The central argument of the study is that the adoption of quantitative approaches to measure success/failure in EEO programs is of limited use. These theoretical approaches, largely informed by liberal feminism, offer inadequate understanding of the resistances to change. Other theoretical perspectives are needed if the issue is seen as "what are the resistances and what are the policies and strategies that can be developed to overcome them?". Feminist critical theory, however, enables more productive questions to be raised about how social power is constructed and maintained, about hegemonic culture, and about the language and cultural biases embedded in administrative structures in education. Insights thus gained into issues, events and resistances give individuals and groups agency, the power to act for change.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The present article is a research study aimed at providing an accurate picture of the problem of HIV and Aids-related stigma and discrimination within a company, by identifying the possible factors that help fuelling it, and describing the relationships among them. On the basis of these findings, I propose initiatives that may help to overcome the main barriers for stigma mitigation within the company, and provide suggestions for inclusion in the company’s HIV and Aids policy of strategies and positions that may thwart stigma among the workforce.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was om ‘n akkurate beskrywing te gee van stigma en diskriminasie wat romdon MIV/Vigs bestaan. Die studie is in ‘n maatskappy in Maputo, Mosambiek, uitgevoer. Moontlike faktore wat hierdie stigma en diskriminasie aanwakker is gegee en ook die verhouding tussen die faktore. Voorstelle word gegee om stigma binne die maatskappy te verminder en ook om dit by die maatskappy se MIV/Vigs beleid in te sluit.

Deceptive Impression Management (DIM), defined as faking in order to be perceived positively, is frequently used by candidates in employment interviews. DIM is problematic because it is difficult for interviewers to accurately rate, leading to unsound interview evaluations. This invalidates employment interviews because the best candidate is not selected for the job (i.e., deceptive candidates are hired above preferable honest candidates). Deceptive candidates’ good interview performance is negatively related to desired organisational outcomes (i.e., once hired, deceptive candidates are more likely to underperform on the job, as well as engage in undesirable workplace behaviours such as lack of effort and/or theft). Drawing on the Realistic Accuracy Model (RAM), it is argued that interviewers do not detect and/or utilise relevant and available DIM cues because they have not been taught to do so. The present study uses a post-test only true experimental design to determine whether students can be trained to accurately rate targets’ DIM. A Frame of Reference Training (FORT) intervention was developed, implemented, and evaluated. FORT aimed to teach experimental group participants to detect and utilise relevant and available DIM cues and to make accurate overall DIM profile ratings. Results show that FORT had a positive effect on DIM cue detection, but no effect on either DIM cue utilisation accuracy or overall DIM profile rating accuracy. Findings are attributed to the moderators of the ‘good judge’, ‘good information’ as well as the design and implementation of the FORT intervention. Because FORT had a positive effect on DIM cue detection accuracy, it is concluded that raters’ behaviour observation ability can be learned and improved with training. To the knowledge of the researcher and research supervisor, this is the first study to: (1) determine the trainability of DIM using FORT; (2) support and disentangle RAM by measuring the effect of FORT on each stage of RAM independently; (3) indirectly examine new dispositional reasoning schemas pertaining to DIM. Keywords: deceptive impression management (DIM), Frame of Reference training (FOR), Realistic Accuracy Model (RAM), accuracy, employment interviews.

A pesquisa contextualizou as projeções formais acerca das transformações no mundo do trabalho contemporâneo, investigando de que maneira eram construídos discursivamente os arranjos e dinâmicas nos modelos empresariais de produção, gestão e ocupação no final do século XX. A partir do estabelecimento dos perfis e prescrições da nova realidade laboral, sob a perspectiva de fontes públicas estratégicas no mercado empresarial brasileiro, o estudo teve como objetivo verificar o sentido atribuído à inserção e promoção das mulheres nas funções executivas, gerenciais e os princípios que orientariam a aceitação, por parte da cultura organizacional, de uma nova realidade ocupacional marcada pela expressiva e sistemática participação das mulheres. Concluiu-se que a contratação e promoção das executivas nos cargos de chefia e comando nas organizações empresariais brasileiras estão ligadas a um tipo de narrativa e processos de construção de categorias que, a partir do recorte de gênero, são capazes de estruturar as carreiras. Um mecanismo de hierarquização e segregação que destitui a realidade das atividades funcionais no mundo do trabalho do paradigma clássico da racionalidade burocrática, tornando as contratações e investimentos devedores não só da meritocracia ou competência, mas dos diferentes e antagônicos atributos conferidos pela experiência de gênero.
The research put in a context the formal projections concerning the transformations of the contemporary world of work, investigating how the arrangements and dynamics in the enterprises models of production, management and occupation in the end of the century XX were discoursely built. From the establishment of the profiles and prescription of the new labor reality under the perspective of strategic public sources in the brazilian enterprise market the study had as objective to verify the signification assigned to the insertion and promotion of women in the executive and management functions, and the principle that would guide the acceptance, on the part of the organizational culture, of a new occupational reality marked by the expressive and systematic participation of the women. One concluded that the act of contract and promotion of executive women in the management and command in the brazilian enterprise organizations are connected to a type of narrative and processes of construction of categories that, starting from the genre clipping, are capable of structuralize the careers. A mechanism to create hierarchy and segregation that dismisses the reality of functional activities in the world of the work of the classic paradigm of the bureaucratic rationality, becoming the acts of contract and debtor investments not only of the merit or competence, but of the different and antagonistic attributes conferred for the genre experience.

This work analyses the administrator s work market dynamics facing his professional education at two Superior Institutes of Education in the city of São Paulo: PUC/SP, considered as a high quality school and UNIVERSITY 2, considered as a mass commercial school. We will use the law 9394/96 (National Education Directives and Bases Law) and the law 5540 (University Reformation) as reference. Those two laws were the guiding principle of the theoretical studies of this field research that justify this thesis, of which objective was to map the professional insertion of students who concluded their Administration degree two years ago through a three-dimensional vision of the students themselves: the educational formation of the students, since they enter the university; their professional performance options and their readiness to enter the market, answering the existing demands. We want to know how these Superior Institutes of Education are instructing their students. The starting point of this study is the exaggerated growth of private Superior Institutes of Education, believing at first, that the serious consequence of this growth is the low quality of the education, and, automatically, the lack of proper learning for the students to be able to enter the work market. The results will be obtained through interviews with egressed students in order to raise difficulties and facilities found during their entrance in the market, not only related to the market necessities and interests, but also concerning the administrating procedure, and the pursuing results, competences and skills required by the companies. The research deals with the main topics which, in different moments, labeled this study, especially: the Superior Institutes, the work market, the professional profile required by the globalised world, qualifications and competences, discussing, at last, its implications for the chances of employment
Esta tese faz uma análise do mercado de trabalho frente à formação profissional dos administradores de empresas de duas instituições educacionais de ensino superior da cidade de São Paulo: A PUC/SP, considerada top de linha e a UNIVERSIDADE 2, considerada mercantil de massa . Teremos como referência a Lei 9394/96 (Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Brasileira) e a Lei 5540 da Reforma Universitária, que constituíram o princípio norteador dos estudos teóricos e da pesquisa de campo que fundamentam esta tese, cujo objetivo foi o de mapear a inserção profissional dos estudantes do curso de Administração de Empresas que concluíram o curso há dois anos, por meio de uma visão tridimensional do alunado: a formação escolar do aluno, a partir de seu ingresso na universidade; suas opções de atuação profissional e sua prontidão para a inserção no mercado de trabalho, atendendo às exigências existentes. Procuramos conhecer como esses dois tipos de instituições de ensino superior estão formando seus alunos. O estudo tem como ponto de partida o crescimento exagerado das instituições particulares de ensino superior, investigando se, como muitos dados sugerem, esse crescimento provocou a queda da qualidade do ensino, e, conseqüentemente, a falta de preparo dos egressos para atuarem no mercado de trabalho. Os resultados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas com os egressos, a fim de levantar dificuldades e facilidades encontradas para a sua inserção no mundo do trabalho, no que se refere às necessidades e aos interesses do mercado, bem como no que se refere ao procedimento gestor, aos resultados perseguidos e às competências e habilidades exigidas pelas empresas. A estrutura da tese registra os principais tópicos que interessaram a esta pesquisa, em especial: o ensino superior, o mercado de trabalho, o perfil do profissional exigido pelo atual mundo globalizado, suas qualificações e competências; discutindo, por fim, as implicações do ensino para a questão da empregabilidade

Magister Artium - MA (Psychology)
The present study aimed to determine the employment and employability profiles of alumni from structured professional Masters programmes in psychology. Issues of low enrolment rates and high attrition rates are at the fore of transformation efforts in the South African higher education sector. The concern of graduate employability and the relevance of skills training received to the labour market are of international concern. Graduate tracer studies have been successfully implemented internationally to attempt to understand these issues. Training relevance is of particular concern for the field of psychology in South Africa, as there is a significant shortage of mental health professionals. Understanding where graduates from professional Masters degrees in psychology find employment, as well as understanding their employability, may lead to greater absorption of graduates from these programmes into the workforce. Permission to conduct the present study and ethics clearance was obtained from the Senate Research Committee of the University of the Western Cape, and all relevant ethics principles were adhered to. An incentivised, online survey was conducted with a sample of 29 Masters-level graduates from two professional psychology programmes at a historically disadvantaged university. The study used a modified version of the Standard Instrument for Graduates. The survey had a 50% response rate (29 of 58) after at least four electronic reminders. Respondents graduated between 2008 and 2013, 13 from the clinical Masters programme and 16 from the research Masters programme. Descriptive statistics were used to depict the employment and employability profiles of the alumni. Most of the respondents were female (n=21), and about a third were first generation students (n=11). Most of the respondents were currently employed (n=25). They were employed in a variety of fields, predominantly health (n=10) and higher education (n=7), and largely clustered in the public sector (n=17). This suggested a transferability of skills. The training received was perceived to be relevant, in terms of accessing employment and conducting current work. Most of the clinical graduates were registered as clinical psychologists (n=12) with the Health Professionals Council of South Africa. There were varied registrations held by graduates from the research programme and some were not registered. The respondents held generally positive attitudes towards their alma mater. These descriptive results were interpreted through the use of McQuaid and Lindsay's (2005) framework of employability, based on the interaction between their individual factors, personal circumstances and external factors. Through this frame, the results highlighted the complex nature of the employability of these graduates.

Background: This study concerns motivation to work and aims to contribute to a better understanding about the area. Motivation is however complex to understand. The complexity can be illustrated by, still to date there exists no single accepted definition about the meaning of motivation. As long as motivation means different things it will be a difficult area to study.

Since individuals have different needs and are motivated by different factors, makes the area even more complex to study. Since money makes it possible to acquire different things and satisfy some of the human needs, it is also considered by some to be motivating, why we chose to include wage in our study as well.

The study has been applied to an employment & staffing companym, to contribute with a better understanding about motivation in this kind of company in practice since the working conditions differ somewhat from a traditional employment where individuals work directly for their employer.

Problem area: -What motivates individuals to work for an employment & staffing company?

- What effect does the wage have on employee motivation in an employment & staffing company?

Purpose: The purpose with the study is to gain a better understanding about motivation to work and the relationship between wage and motivation in an employment and staffing company.

Method: We chose to conduct a qualitative study at Proffice where we interviewed four permanently employed consultants.

Conclusions: Individuals have different needs and are motivated by different things which makes it difficult to draw general conclusion about motivation. The individuals in this particular study were pleased with the variation of jobs since it allowed them to develop and learn new things which in turn can be motivating. The factors that the individuals were unsatisfied with were the lack of security with the employment and the social relations to colleagues and employer, aspects that in turn can have a negative effect on motivation when not satisfied.

Despite that the majority of the individuals in the study were dissatisfied with the wage it did not seem to have a negative effect on their performance since they would not been able to remain for such a long time at their current mission if they had not performed well at the job. Although the dissatisfaction seemed to have a negative effect on motivation to stay within the employment & staffing company in the long run.

Recommendations for further studies: Further studies on the subject could be performed using other methods to conduct the research since the results are very much dependent on the methods used. Another approach could be to include respondents from other offices. Since we only included permanently employed respondents the study could also be further developed by involving probationary employed.

Bakgrund: Denna studie berör motivation till arbete och syftar till att öka förståelsen för området. Motivation är dock ett svårbegripligt ämne att förstå sig på. Dess komplexitet kan åskådliggöras i att det än idag inte finns en enskild accepterad definition av motivation. Så länge som det betyder olika saker kommer det att vara ett svårstuderat område Även det faktum att individer har olika behov och därför motiveras av olika faktorer gör området än mer komplext.

Då pengar gör det möjligt att förvärva olika saker och tillfredsställa en del av de mänskliga behoven så anses de också av somliga vara motiverande, varpå vi valde att inkludera även lön i vår studie. Studien har genomförts i ett bemanningsföretag för att öka förståelsen om motivation i ett sådant företag då arbetsförhållandet skiljer sig något från en traditionell anställning där individer arbetar direkt för sina arbetsgivare.

Problemformulering: - Vad motiverar individer att arbeta för ett bemanningsföretag?

- Vilken effekt har lönen på anställdas motivation i ett bemanningsföretag?

Syfte: Syftet med arbetet är att få en ökad förståelse om motivation till arbete samt relationen mellan lön och motivation och hur det förhåller sig i ett bemanningsföretag.

Metod: Vi valde att utföra en kvalitativ studie på Proffice där vi intervjuade fyra fastanställda konsulter. Slutsatser: Då individer har olika behov och är motiverade av olika saker är det svårt att dra generella slutsatser om vad som motiverar. Det som individerna i just detta fall var nöjda med var varierande uppdrag som tillät individerna att utvecklas och lära sig nya saker som i sin tur kan vara motiverande. Det som individerna var missnöjda med var osäkerheten kring anställningen och de sociala relationerna till kollegor och arbetsgivare, aspekter som i sin tur kan ha en negativ effekt på motivation när de inte är tillfredställda.

Trots att majoriteten av individerna i undersökningen inte var nöjda med sin lön så tycktes den inte ha en negativ effekt på deras prestationer då de inte hade fått vara kvar på uppdraget så länge om de inte hade utfört sina arbetsuppgifter på ett bra sätt. Dock verkade missnöjdheten ha en negativ effekt på motivationen att stanna kvar i företaget på lång sikt.

Rekommendationer till fortsatta studier: Vidare forskning inom området kan genomföras med andra metoder eftersom resultaten är i hög grad beroende av de metoder som används. En annan möjlighet är att inkludera respondenter från andra kontor. Då vi endast valde att inkludera fast anställda i vår studie så kan studien vidareutvecklas genom att inkludera även provanställda.

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this study was to establish if the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile questionnaire (AASP) could be used as a recruitment tool in selecting contact centre agents with a higher predictability for success and hence higher productivity. Contact centres around the globe face the challenge of high staff turnover and absenteeism, reducing profitability. It seems that work performance related to the way in which adults process sensory input has not been well researched. A model was developed by Dunn (Brown et al., 2001) based on the intersection of a neurological threshold continuum and a behavioural continuum and yielding four quadrants: Quadrant 1, Low Registration (of stimuli); Quadrant 2, Sensation Seeking; Quadrant 3, Sensory Sensitivity, and Quadrant 4, Sensation Avoiding. Forty-eight contact centre agents employed by Liberty Life were selected and assessed on the AASP. Performance data for each contact centre agent were collected: available time, auxiliary time, log-in time, quality assurance, absenteeism and length of service. Spearman rank correlations were conducted to test if relationships exist between any of the four quadrants and the performance measures. As an additional investigation, a Suitability Score (based on clustering of scores with a percent assigned) was derived for each contact centre agent and also correlated with the above performance measures. Significant relationships were found between Quadrant 2 scores and three of the performance measurement criteria. As the Quadrant 2 scores increase, the average available time of the agents will decrease and their average log-in time will increase. Absenteeism increased as well, which is expected to have a negative effect on the productivity of the contact centre. The Quadrant also had a high predictability for Suitability Ratings indicating that as the Quadrant 2 score increases, the suitability of the contact centre agents increases as well. Regarding Quadrant 3 (sensory sensitivity) scores, quality assessment, total days of absenteeism and average absenteeism relate negatively. It seems that contact centre agents with high sensory sensitivity are less suitable for the job. As the score increases the quality assessment scores decrease, which is not what is required in terms of quality standards. A negative relationship exists between Quadrant 3 scores and the Suitability Rating scores, indicating that the higher the quadrant scores the less suitable the contact centre agents are to work in the contact centre environment. Quadrant 4 (sensation avoiding) has a negative relationship with Suitability Rating scores, which indicates that the higher the quadrant score the less suitable the contact centre agent is to work in the contact centre environment. No significant relationships were recorded between the performance measurements and Quadrant 1 (low registration) and Quadrant 4 (sensation avoiding), even though, logically, one would expect agents with less distraction to be more productive. Further studies are recommended before the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile questionnaire is used as a recruitment tool. Future studies could categorise the quadrant scores into clusters and then test for relationships with the set performance measurements. The Suitability Rating was used in a first attempt to match individuals in a specific job according to specific sensory profiles. This measure has not yet been tested for validity and reliability, which must be done prior to further study using it.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die primêre doel van hierdie studie was om vas te stel of die Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) vraelys gebruik kan word as ‘n hulpmiddel vir die werwing en seleksie van kontaksentrum agente, met ‘n hoër waarskynlikheid van sukses en, dus, hoër produktiwiteit. Kontaksentrums op elke vasteland kom te staan voor die probleem van hoë personeelomset en werksafwesigheid wat winsgewendheid verlaag. Die manier waardeur volwasse mense hul sensoriese insette verwerk, in verband met werkprestasie, is nog nie goed ondersoek nie. ‘n Model is deur Dunn (Brown et al., 2001) ontwikkel wat gebasseer is op die kruispunt van ‘n neurologiese drumpel kontinuum en ‘n gedragskontinuum wat tot vier kwadrante lei: Kwadrant 1, Lae Registrasie (van stimuli); Kwadrant 2, Sensasie Soekend; Kwadrant 3, Sensoriese Sensitiwiteit, en Kwadrant 4, Vermyding van Sensasie. Agt-en-veertig kontaksentrum agente wat in diens van Liberty Life is, is geselekteer en beoordeel volgens die AASP. Prestasiedata is saamgestel vir elke kontaksentrum agent: beskikbare tyd, oortollige tyd, teenwoordige tyd, kwaliteitsversekering, werksafwesigheid en jare diensplig. Spearman rang korrelasies is onderneem om te toets of daar verbande bestaan tussen enige van die vier kwadrante en die prestasiemaatstaf. In ‘n addisionele ondersoek is ‘n geskiktheidsmaatstaf ontwikkel wat gebasseer is op trosvorming van tellings met ‘n toegekende persentasie. Dit is gedoen vir elke kontaksentrum agent en hierdie tellings is ook gekorreleer met bogenoemde prestasiemaatstawwe. Statisties-beduidende positiewe verbande is gevind tussen Kwadrant 2 (sensasie soekend) tellings en drie van die prestasiemetingskriteria. As die telling van Kwadrant 2 toeneem, neem die gemiddelde beskikbare tyd af en die teenwoordige tyd van agente toe. Werksafwesigheid het ook toegeneem, wat moontlik negatief kan inwerk op die produktiwiteit van die kontaksentrum. Die kwadrant het ook ‘n hoë waarskynlikheid openbaar in die geval van die Gekiktheidsmaatstaf, wat aandui dat, namate die Kwadrant 2 telling toeneem, die gekiktheid van die kontaksentrum agent ook toeneem. Wat Kwadrant 3 (sensoriese sensitiwiteit) tellings betref, bestaan daar ‘n negatiewe verband tussen kwaliteitsversekering, totale aantal dae van werksafwesigheid en gemiddelde werksafwesigheid. Dit blyk dat kontaksentrum agente met hoë sensoriese sensitiwiteit dalk minder geskik is vir die pos. Soos wat die telling vir sensoriese sensitiwiteit toeneem, neem die telling vir kwaliteitsversekering af, wat nie in terme van kwaliteitstandaarde aanvaarbaar is nie. Daar bestaan ‘n negatiewe verband tussen Kwadrant 4 (sensasie vermyding) tellings en die tellings vir die Geskiktheidsmaatstaf, wat aandui dat hoe hoër die kwadrant telling, hoe minder geskik is die agent. Geen statisties-beduidende verbande is gevind tussen die prestasietellings van Kwadrant 1 (lae registrasie) en Kwadrant 4 (sensasie vermyding) nie. Normaalweg sou mens verwag dat agente met minder afleiding, meer produktief sou wees. Daar word voorgestel dat verdere studies onderneem word voordat die Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile as ‘n werwingsmaatstaf gebruik word. Toekomstige studies kan die kwadrant tellings saamvoeg in trosse en dan toets vir verbande met die vooropgestelde prestasiemaatstawwe. Die Geskiktheidsmaatstaf is gebruik as ‘n eerste poging om individue saam te voeg in ‘n spesifieke pos, volgens ‘n spesifieke sensoriese profiel. Hierdie maatstaf moet vir toepaslikheid en betroubaarheid in verdere studie getoets word, voordat dit gebruik kan word.

L'indagine cerca di verificare la sussistenza di norme o la praticabilità di riforme o interpretazioni evolutive che consentano di riconoscere al lavoratore un ruolo efficamente preventivo rispetto a illeciti che possano prodursi nel corso dell'attività di impresa. Le due direttive principali lungo le quali corre l'analisi svolta sono quelle del diritto della sicurezza sul lavoro e delle segnalazioni (oggetto di comparazione con la normativa statunitense), con riferimenti ad alcune tematiche ritenute fondamentali della teoria generale del reato, così come ad aspetti significativi del contratto di lavoro subordinato.
The investigation is about the existence of laws or the possibility of reforms or evolutive interpretations that would allow a reconstruction of the role of the workers whithin an enterprise as a gatekeeper in front of illicit risks and conducts. While the focus is on health and safety at work and on whistleblowing laws (which are compared to the U.S.A. ones), the development of the thesis passes even through some fundamental themes of the general theory of the crime and some relevant profiles of the employment contract.

The thesis is focused on the position of people with disabilities on the labour market in the Czech Republic, on the received arrangements for support of their employment and on their possibilities to get a job. The first part deals with characteristics of the present situation of disabled people on the labour market and with specification of various factors, which can influence their employment. The next part is focused on the supported employment service, which helps disadvantaged people on the labour market, especially people with disabilities, on the principles and advantages of this service and also on the comparison of the Czech experiences with experiences of the chosen European union countries. Only the nongovernmental non-profit organizations so far offer the supported employment service in the Czech Republic and that is why the following part discusses the topic of this organizations and their financing, especially funding from EU structural funds, which are the most important source of money for most of the mentioned organizations. The final part deals with the incentives, which can lead employers to employ the person with disability.

Cette thèse propose une analyse socioéconomique de l'accompagnement associatif des Personnes vivant avec le VIH (PvVIH) vers l'emploi en France. Elle étudie la construction de l'accompagnement associatif d'une part et l'inscription des trajectoires d'accès à l'emploi dans l'espace associatif d'autre part. Complétant les approches statistique et biographique de l'accompagnement vers l'emploi en ouvrant la boîte noire de l'accompagnement, elle analyse la relation d'accompagnement construite par l'institution associative à travers deux monographies. S'appuyant sur la théorie institutionnaliste du couplage, l'analyse textuelle du langage des acteurs, réalisée à l'aide du logiciel Alceste, identifie la part institutionnelle dans la construction sociale des trajectoires d'accès à l'emploi et montre une tension entre délibération et accès à l'emploi dans la construction de l'accompagnement associatif. L'analyse biographique contextualisée repère les facteurs institutionnels d'échec et de réussite dans l'accès à l'emploi. La libération de la dicibilité et l'acquisition de compétence sur le modèle de l'expertise d'usage facilitent et consolident l'accès à l'emploi quand les difficultés sociales et le regard social sur le VIH/sida le freinent et le fragilisent. Ces analyses montrent que la valeur ajoutée de l'accompagnement associatif vers l'emploi est d'inscrire la relation d'accompagnement dans une dynamique collective en la désindividualisant, en mettant en place des espaces de délibération et en valorisant les savoirs d'expériences. La thèse montre finalement que les institutions associatives sont difficiles à modifier et que les pratiques résistent aux dynamiques de changements institutionnels tout en s'en nourrissant.

Lancés sur les routes de l’exil, suite au génocide de 1915 perpétré par le gouvernement JeuneTurc, les réfugiés arméniens sont à la recherche d’un territoire susceptible de les accueillir.Après un exode qui a duré plusieurs années, et qui les a conduits dans les pays de la péninsule balkanique et dans tout le Proche-Orient, certains font le choix de la France. C’est en 1922 ou 1923 (selon les sources) que les premiers réfugiés arrivent à Valence. D’autres leur emboîtent le pas les années suivantes. Mon étude tente de mettre en évidence les parcours migratoiresdes familles arméniennes valentinoises et des enfants scolarisés, depuis leurs lieux d’origine jusqu’à Valence. Plusieurs vagues migratoires, plus ou moins longues selon la durée de déplacements des populations, et parfois simultanées ou enchevêtrées, se succèdent. Très souvent, l’itinéraire, qui a conduit les familles arméniennes dans la cité drômoise, n’a pas été direct depuis leur débarquement à Marseille, mais jalonné d’étapes, qui sont autant de marqueurs des situations socio-économiques rencontrées avant leur installation à Valence, parfois définitive pour de nombreuses familles. Mon étude tente également de faire apparaîtreles différents parcours scolaires effectués au sein de l’école française. Dès les premières arrivées, les enfants entrent à l’école primaire et suivent des parcours variés, même si, pour les premiers arrivants, la préoccupation au sortir de la scolarité obligatoire reste l’obtention immédiate d’un emploi. Les parcours au sein d’un enseignement organisé en deux filièresprincipales et socialement inégalitaires ne sont pas simples et des difficultés diverses se dressent, amenant certains à abandonner soit leurs études secondaires, soit à se maintenir au sein de l’école primaire. Le système scolaire accueille ces enfants et l’enjeu linguistique passe au premier plan. D’autres élèves y mènent un parcours brillant. Sous l’influence de lasituation socioéconomique locale, les familles arméniennes opèrent des choix pour leurs enfants et des comportements se dessinent. Si pour certaines, le système scolaire doit permettre une émancipation et l’apprentissage d’un métier, au travers des professions d’ouvriers qualifiés ou de techniciens mais aussi d’emplois de bureau, pour d’autres, la reprise d’une affaire commerciale familiale ou l’apprentissage d’une profession artisanale s’impose. Le passage par l’école obligatoire permet d’atteindre un niveau linguistique plus sûr, mais aussi une qualification plus importante, qui enrichit l’affaire familiale. La destinée familiale a très souvent tracé un avenir scolaire aux enfants de la seconde génération, revu à l’âge adulte avec de nouvelles opportunités professionnelles
Launched on the exile roads, after the 1915 genocide caused by the Jeune-Turc government, the Armenian refugees were in search of a territory open to welcome them. After an exodus which lasted several years and led them into the Balkan States and the whole Near East, some of them made the choice of France. The first refugees turned up in Valence in 1922 or 1923 (itdepends on the pieces of information). Others followed a few years later. My study attempts to show the Armenian families and children’s geographical routes, from their places of origin to Valence. Several more or less varied waves of immigrants occurred. Very often, the trip from Marseille to the “Cité drômoise” was not straight. The different stages of their French itinerary appear as markers of their varied social and economic conditions before their arrival in Valence. My contribution will also attempt to show the different school careers they made in French schools. As soon as the first arrived, children were sent to primary school and had varied school careers, even if labor remained a priority at the end of their compulsory education. The school careers in the two main educational profiles- socially unequal- were not simple and many pupils had difficulties in completing their primary or secondary schooling. The French school welcomed these foreign pupils and the acquisition of the French language was the most important issue. Other pupils had outstanding courses. Affected by the local socio-economic circumstances, the Armenian families made choices for their children. For some of them, school had to promote the learning of a trade, as skilled labourers, technicians or office workers. Others expected their children to continue the family business. Compulsory schooling promoted the acquisition of the French language but also increased the qualification levels. The Armenians wanted a future for their children and resigned themselves to the choices of their parents. After their teenage years, their professions changed and the families’ destinies advanced with new career opportunities

Cette recherche vise à saisir les parcours de salariés « permanents » inscrits dans un mouvement d’éducation populaire, à travers l’étude d’une association : la Ligue de l’enseignement. Créée en 1866, elle s’est structurée au fil de son histoire en confédération d’associations avec une instance nationale et des antennes locales. À l’instar du monde associatif de manière plus générale, elle connaît de nombreuses transformations institutionnelles depuis les années 1980, qui sont étudiées dans la première partie de ce travail. L’évolution des financements publics, la baisse des subventions ou encore la fragilité financière des fédérations départementales sont autant de caractéristiques qui marquent le réseau de la Ligue de l’enseignement. De ce fait, des logiques d’homogénéisation des pratiques professionnelles sont mises en place par l’échelon national dans le but de fabriquer une socialisation commune au sein de son réseau, afin de survivre dans le champ associatif devenu très concurrentiel. Comment les fédérations départementales vivent et réagissent à ces mutations alors qu’elles cherchent à maintenir leurs spécificités locales ? Par ailleurs, la professionnalisation et la marchandisation du milieu associatif interrogent ici particulièrement l’engagement et le militantisme des salariés. Qui sont alors ces (nouveaux) militants salariés de la Ligue de l’enseignement ? Comment rejoignent-ils le Mouvement ? Que cherchent-ils dans le salariat associatif ? Comment s’y projettent-ils ? Comment articulent-ils les valeurs qu’ils défendent aux contraintes institutionnelles qui pèsent sur l’association ?L’éducation figure parmi les thématiques majeures de la Ligue de l’enseignement. Les acteurs de l’association militent pour un « apprendre autrement », notamment en valorisant les parcours individuels « atypiques » par la reconnaissance des compétences acquises en dehors de l’école. Néanmoins, les salariés « permanents » interrogés ne présentent pas ces caractéristiques dans la mesure où ils sont souvent diplômés en formation initiale. Par ailleurs, une partie des salariés est constituée de personnels de l’Éducation nationale mis à disposition (puis détachés) au sein de l’association. Ces deux constats interrogent le rapport que les salariés « permanents » entretiennent avec l’école, et plus largement avec l’institution scolaire. Dès lors, les trajectoires biographiques de l’ensemble des enquêtés sont examinées au prisme du rapport à l’école dans la seconde partie de ce travail, articulant l’analyse des entretiens individuels avec des indicateurs statistiques. La thèse défend alors l'idée que les salariés « permanents » investissent la Ligue de l’enseignement dans un processus de « réparation » par rapport à une institution scolaire qui les a bousculés (parcours scolaire avorté, expériences traumatisantes observées ou vécues à l’école, etc.). Ces événements peuvent constituer des dispositions à l’entrée dans le milieu associatif et conduire à militer pour un système éducatif alternatif. Pour autant, les mutations que le milieu associatif connaît ces dernières années tendent à modifier le rapport que les salariés entretiennent également avec leur métier, ainsi que les logiques de recrutement au niveau du réseau
This research aims at understanding the trajectories of ‘permanent’ wage workers active in a popular education movement, through the study of a non-profit organisation: the Teaching League. Since its creation in 1866, it has formed into a confederation of non-profit organisations with a national body and local branches. As with all such organisations in the non-profit field, it has undergone many institutional transformations since the 1980’s, studied in the first part of this work. Public financing evolution, diminishing subsidies, and the financial fragility of local federations are all characteristics affecting the Teaching League network. Hence, a logic of homogenisation of professional practises has been put into place by the national body in order to produce a common socialisation within the network, to survive in a non-profit field that has become very competitive. How have local federations lived through and reacted to these changes while looking to maintain their local specificities? Furthermore, professionalization and commodification in the non-profit field bring into question particularly the dedication and activism of salary workers. Then, who are the (new) salaried activists in the League? How have they come to join the League? What are they expecting of employment in the non-profit field? How do they foresee their future in such positions? How do they articulate the values they defend with the institutional constraints weighing on the organisation?Education stands among the principal issues concerning the Teaching League. The organisation’s actors advocate for ‘learning differently’ especially through the promotion of ‘atypical’ individual trajectories, acknowledging competencies acquired outside of school. However, ‘permanent’ wage workers who were interviewed did not show these characteristics insofar as they often graduated in formal education. Furthermore, some of the workers are employees of the national education system, and made available for the organisation (then later seconded). These two findings question the relationship that ‘permanent’ wage workers have to school, and more broadly to the scholastic institution. Henceforth, in the second part of this work, the biographical paths of every person who has been interviewed are studied through the lens of their relationship with school, referencing individual interview analysis against statistical indicators. The thesis then advocates that ‘permanent’ workers invest the Teaching League in a ‘restorative’ process after a negative experience with a previous scholastic institution (aborted scholar career, traumatic experience lived or witnessed at school, etc.). These events can be factors in entering the non-profit field and campaigning for an alternative scholastic system. However, changes in recent years to the non-profit field tend to modify the relationship that salaried workers have to their jobs, as well as hiring practices in the network

Cette thèse étudie la manière dont l’État se reconfigure à travers le secteur associatif. Elle prend appui sur une étude de cas, celui du service public de l’emploi « Cap Emploi » destiné aux chômeurs en situation de handicap, créé en 2005 et déployé par des associations. Tirant partie de plusieurs méthodes (observations par monographies et par immersion dans trois Cap Emploi, entretiens, statistiques ethnographiques, travail documentaire), l’intérêt de cette thèse est d’étudier les pratiques professionnelles selon trois dimensions : l’organisation du travail, les propriétés des usagers et les caractéristiques des travailleurs. Une première partie de la thèse porte sur la « mise en gestion » progressive de ces associations dans le cadre de leur contractualisation avec l’État et à l’aune du référentiel du New public management. Une deuxième partie fait état de la difficile conciliation entre volonté de personnalisation des politiques sociales du handicap et logique gestionnaire qui sous-tend l’activité Cap Emploi. On y étudie le processus de catégorisation et de tri des chômeurs montrant un phénomène d’« éviction » et de « mise en flux » à l’égard des personnes souffrant de handicap psychique. Enfin, la troisième partie de la thèse est consacrée à l’étude de ces travailleuses et travailleurs associatifs en tant que « nouveaux visages du service public ». On y approfondie leur rapport au travail et à l’emploi, au regard d’une analyse en termes de trajectoire et de genre. On étudie notamment leur ajustement ou désajustement à la tension entre deux logiques de travail, relationnelle et gestionnaire, inhérentes au métier de conseiller lorsqu’il est exercé dans ce type de structure hybride
This thesis intends to show how the State reconfigures itself through the associative sector. It is based on the study of the public employment service “Cap Emploi” for unemployed and disabled people, created in 2005 and carried through associations. I conducted an ethnographic survey in three Cap Emploi, using several observation scales and ethnographer tools (observations, interviews, ethnographic statistics, documentary work). I studied different elements of variation in professional practices, in the light of work organization, properties of users, and properties of workers. The first part of the thesis deals with the progressive implementation of management tools imported from the private sector, in these non-profit organizations, as a result of their contractualization with the State. It shows how the “New Public Management” is carried out in this non-profit sector. A second part relates the uneasy conciliation between an effort to individualize and an effort to rationalize (following a managerial logic) social policies. It studies the unemployed ranking process according to their expected employability, and shows that the different types of sorting of the beneficiaries primarily concerns people suffering from a psychological handicap. Finally, the third part of the thesis is devoted to the study of these association workers, the “new face of public service”. It studies their position toward this kind of hybrid organization, combining an analysis in terms of trajectory and gender

This research tracks the emergence of ‘soft’ workfare in Toronto. This refers to a set of attitudes and practices apparent in the delivery of welfare-to-work programs through the Ontario Works framework, which use compulsion to push people towards employment while simultaneously encouraging limited and specific practices of individual choice. Research findings are derived from eight interviews and relevant policy reports, focusing on the experiences of three non-profit agencies and the City of Toronto, who provide employment assistance and financial assistance through Ontario Works, respectively. These findings indicate that grassroots organizations pioneered employment services for social assistance recipients, and, alongside the municipal government, had been calling for active employment programs. They made use of the distance between policy rules and their own programs to alleviate the most punitive features of OW, but judge compulsion as a means to meet a necessary end. This demonstrates how disciplinary tendencies reside within liberal governmentalities.

The sample comprised 92 candidates who have completed the Ground School Phase of the trainee pilot training programme. The independent variables are Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices Test, the Blox Test and the Vienna Determination Test. The dependent variable is the candidates' results after the Ground School Phase of their training. The results indicated that only the Advanced Ravens test and the Vienna Determination test (Phase 3} correlate positively with the Ground School Phase results of the candidates. The current battery emphasises cognitive abilities and psycho-motor functioning and does not cover personality traits of prospective candidates. It is recommended that new instruments are included (to cover the measurement of personality traits), that the sample size should be increased by promoting pilot training among previously disadvantaged students and that the current pilot profile should be updated as a matter of urgency.

The research study covers the following topic “Vetting as a Technique to Investigate Employment Fraud in the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan”. The researcher intends to evaluate the current procedures which are used in the process of forensic vetting as employment fraud investigation method in CoJ. Furthermore, to build the ground work for potential future innovation, problem solving, decision making and proper planning of the use of forensic vetting as employment fraud investigation method. The researcher applied the qualitative approach throughout the research because qualitative involves interaction between the researcher and the subject that was identified as a problem that concerned CoJ The researcher had selected ten (10) forensic investigators to partake in this study. The total population to be interviewed and collect data from was considerable and appropriate for evaluating forensic vetting as an employment fraud investigation method. The researcher used purposive sampling to choose the participants for this research. It was found that every individual within an organ of the State must be subjected to the vetting process. It was further found that the institutions in governmental, organs of the State and private spheres must adopt the forensic vetting practice to minimize fraudulent activities in their organizations.

The objective of the paper was to monitor and to evaluate the project of a civic association MESADA, which is one of the possibilities of how to reduce the unemployment rate and it deals with the issue of employing persons who have been unemployed for a long time. These people are mostly low educated, health handicapped, to old or to young without experience or members of ethnic minority. The aim of project is to provide these individuals with better work opportunities and to improve their social status because they are more likely to become socially deprived. Research was carried out in a civic association MESADA. Data for the paper were obtained by the interview method and by the document analysis.

The thesis "Evaluation of providing information to third-countries foreigners by public sector in the labor market in the Czech Republic" is primarily engaged in finding the level of information provided to third-countries foreigners in the Czech labor market, their content, distribution, institutional framework, availability, etc.. Despite the fact that the dynamics of inflow of foreign labor is greatly reduced, this process has still many problems and issues, especially in their conditions of employment. For foreigners who came to our area to find a job, they could be legitimately employed to meet the many obligations of the law. Do they receive information about these rules and responsibilities? This paper seeks to answer, which took aim is to determine what information to foreigners from third countries, the Czech labor market in the context of migration and integration policies, propose possible solutions in this area and analyze current state of economic activities of foreigners from third countries in the labor market in the CR (in the plane legislative, institutional). Furthermore, to determine the status and level of awareness and availability of information to third-country nationals in the labor market in a position to insure foreigners from third countries on the issue of awareness and...

A necessidade de adaptação rápida, ágil e com baixo custo das empresas aos requisitos tecnológicos e de mercado, originaram a proliferação de diversas formas de contratação flexível, designadas como atípicas ou não-tradicionais. Esta pesquisa analisa essa diversidade no mercado de trabalho português e procura traçar um perfil das empresas de acordo com os arranjos contratuais praticados. A análise empírica recorre à base de dados dos “Quadros de Pessoal”, uma fonte administrativa, que nos permite ligar empresas e trabalhadores do setor privado em Portugal. Os dados são de 2012 e incluem uma amostra de 35345 empresas. A análise estatística multivariada aponta para quatro tipos de empresas que se distribuem entre “muito estáveis” e “muito flexíveis”. Nas primeiras, a contratação atípica é residual, enquanto as últimas utilizam diversos tipos de arranjos contratuais flexíveis previstos na legislação. Todavia, contratação tradicional ou estável mantém-se o modelo predominante de contratação em Portugal. A evidência empírica indica ainda características das empresas e dos trabalhadores que estão associadas aos tipos obtidos. Ao nível das empresas, a antiguidade da empresa, o volume de negócios, o sector de actividade e a sazonalidade da atividade reduzem a probabilidade de contratação flexível. Do lado dos trabalhadores, os dados indicam que as empresas com trabalhadores mais qualificados e que praticam salários mais elevados tendem a recorrer menos intensamente a contratos atípicos. Consideramos que o crescente recurso a arranjos contratuais diferentes do tradicional deverá constituir um tema de continuado estudo, dado o impacto social e económico que a flexibilidade laboral origina nos modelos sociais de proteção social em vigor e no bem-estar dos indivíduos.
The need for companies to adapt on a fast, agile and low cost manner to market and technological requests caused a number of diverse forms of flexible work arrangements, known as atypical or nonstandard. The present research analyses this diversity in the Portuguese labor market drawing a profile based on companies contractual work arrangements. The empirical analysis uses data from Quadros de Pessoal, an administrative source, which allowed us to aggregate companies and employees from the Portuguese private sector. The sample represents data from the year 2012, with a total of 35345 companies. The multivariate analysis identifies four types of companies ranging from “very stable” to “very flexible”. Within the first type the use of nonstandard work arrangements is residual, while for the second one, companies use the set of flexible work arrangements allowed by law. Nevertheless, standard work arrangements are still in greater proportion in Portugal. Empirical evidence suggests that certain company and employee characteristics are associated with these four types of companies. Companies’ characteristic, such as tenure, business volume, activity sector and seasonality reduces nonstandard work arrangements probability. On the employees side companies with qualified employees and higher salaries tend to use less nonstandard forms of work arrangements. We consider that the fast-growing use of nonstandard work arrangements should be a continued field of study as we anticipate a strong social and economic impact for the welfare model in force and for the well-being of individuals.

I have been working for more than three years in o. s. Asistence as a lecturer of group advisory meetings called Job Clubs. The objective of the presented thesis is to evaluate the importance and the key benefits of the group meetings for the clients. The thesis covers the theme of group advisory for certain job seekers with disability. The theoretical part describes the target group of individuals with physical or combined disabilities, the attitude of the society towards employment of people with disabilities, the importance of work for an individual, the issue of supported employment, group social work as well as Job Clubs. The research part of the thesis describes the qualitative research aimed at identifying and describing the benefits of Job Clubs for individuals with physical and combined disabilities in improving their employability. The research was carried out in o. s. Asistence from December 2007 to April 2008 using the structured interview methodology. Two groups of respondents were interviewed. The first one included 18 Job Club participants, the second one comprised of 6 Job Club lecturers. Information gathered in the research will be used by o. s. Asistence to improve the service. The research results underscore the importance and benefits of the group advisory for individuals with various disabilities. The thesis may also serve as a manual for future Job Club lecturers and to point out the importance of employing people with disability in the open labour market.

Diplomová práce "Jedličkova základní škola - integrace versus inkluze" pojednává o Jedličkově základní škole, jejích klientech, zaměstnancích a situaci ve škole jako takové, a principech, které se aplikují či neaplikují v rámci integrace a inkluze. Tato práce je hlavně zaměřena na fungování školy a vzdělávání v ní. Dále se věnuje problematice integrace a inkluze jakkoliv handicapovaných osob, a to především počátku jejich integrace do většinové společnosti v ČR, čímž je myšleno vzdělávání a výchova nejen handicapovaných, ale také většinové společnosti. Odrazovým můstkem této práce je průzkum v těchto osmi okruzích: - Zaměstnání v Jedličkově základní škole - Spolupráce zaměstnanců v Jedličkově základní škole - Práce s klienty - Péče o klienty - Hodnocení, známkování a profilování klienta - Sponzorování a rozvoj Jedličkovy základní školy - Integrace - Inkluze Tento průzkum, ve kterém se snažím především sama přicházet na nedostatky a pozitiva takto v průběhu několika let fungující instituce ukazuje, že prvotní cíl průzkumu zjistit, jak probíhá vzdělávání a výchova dítěte v Jedličkově základní škole v průběhu několika ročníků, je takřka nemožné z důvodu personálních změn v pedagogickém sboru v posledních letech. Z těchto důvodů došlo v roce 2014 ke změně původního průzkumného cíle s názvem "Vývoj a postup...
