Abstract:

Dissertação de Mestrado em Políticas de Desenvolvimento dos Recursos Humanos
A elevada quantidade de tempo que despendemos no ambiente laboral, dá sentido à introdução do conceito de felicidade no trabalho, tanto do ponto de vista individual, como organizacional, uma vez que este assume grande relevo na vida quotidiana da maioria das pessoas. Sendo o trabalho concretizado, na maioria dos casos, em rede de relação com outros, perspetivar a felicidade enquanto uma vivência dependente dos bens relacionais, e de bens relacionais sustentados na autenticidade, parece-nos relevante como indutor de práticas construtivas para quem está na posição de gerir pessoas em organizações de trabalho. O presente estudo apresenta assim como propósito responder à questão de investigação “Como é que a presença dos bens relacionais caracterizados pela autenticidade contribui para a Felicidade no Trabalho?”. Neste sentido, assente numa abordagem qualitativa, foi realizado um estudo a dez participantes da Indústria Hoteleira de forma a compreender se as relações interpessoais (denominadas bens relacionais) sustentados pela autenticidade contribuem para a Felicidade no Trabalho. Concluímos que sim, uma vez que o aspeto relacional é claramente evidenciado. No que diz respeito à autenticidade das relações, esta é sinónimo de genuinidade e empatia, tornando os colaboradores mais próximos. Nesta linha, verificámos que a relação com os outros constitui um bem, e que marcada pela autenticidade, contribui para a Felicidade no Trabalho.
The high amount of time we spend in the work, gives meaning to the introduction of the concept of happiness at work, both from the individual point of view, and organizational, as this is of great importance in the daily lives of most people. And the work accomplished, in most cases, network connection with others, happiness as an experience dependent on relational goods, and relational goods sustained in authenticity, it seems relevant to induce constructive practices for those in position to manage people in work organizations. The present study has as purpose to answer the research question "How does the presence of relational goods characterized by authenticity contributes to Happiness at Work?”. In this sense, based on a qualitative approach, a study was conducted to ten participants of the Hotel Industry in order to understand whether interpersonal relationships (called relational goods) authentic contribute to Happiness at Work. We conclude so, since the relational aspect is clearly evident and as regards the authenticity of the established relationships, it is synonymous with genuineness and empathy, making nearby employees. In this line, we have found that the relational goods, in which the relationship with others is a good, marked by authenticity contribute to Happiness at Work.

Abstract:

Mortuary analysis has been used in the past to understand social status and social organization. The need for a scientific way to undertake mortuary analysis in achaeology is necessary because too often social status is assumed. This thesis attempts to demonstrate that there is a scientific approach that can be taken in mortuary analysis through the investigation of energy expenditure, a dimension that can measure the attributes of status. The mortuary analysis in this study is carried out using a scientific approach involving the amount of energy expended on burials by looking at burial type, grave goods, and special placement of the burials. Through the use of archival data, this thesis investigates differences seen in the burial population of Lyons Bluff (22OK520) in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi through mortuary analysis that looks at burial type, grave goods, and special placement of the burials. Local farmsteads are used as a comparative basis. Through the creation of a paradigm with dimensions of burial treatments and modes of grave goods, it is possible to place all burials at a particular site or group of sites in categories that show the amount of energy expended on burials. From this, comparisons can be made with age and sex, stature, cranial deformation, and spatial location that can aid in the interpretation of mortuary data at a site. The results of this research suggest that at Lyons Bluff and the farmsteads used in this study there is an increase in the energy expended on burials through time. This type of research is applicable to both past and future mortuary analysis when there is well-documented information on burial type and burial inclusions.

The expansion and increase of jobs in the service sector are relevant phenomena that contributed to changing the labor scape. Trade is one of the traditional sub-sectors in the Brazilian economy, which absorbs a considerable portion of the labor force. However, the retail industry experiences a structural change that opens the possibility of becoming an eminent producer of new identities related to consumption. This study aims to analyze the durable goods retail sale service, addressing the following issues: retail, the current configuration of labor and consumer society, identity at work, interactions in service sale, and gender relations in durable goods retail. Considering the scarce studies on the service sector in Brazilian scientific production, this analysis aims to contribute to the debate on changes in the world of labor, as well as to provide a perspective to sales work field through a sociological approach. This research applies a triangulation methodology, and includes descriptive analysis of official databases produced by national research institutions coupled with qualitative fieldwork in two retail service companies, using the techniques of systematic observation and semi-structured interviews.
A expansão das atividades e o aumento da oferta de emprego no setor de serviços são fenômenos relevantes que contribuíram para as transformações no mundo do trabalho. O comércio é um subsetor tradicional na economia brasileira e absorve uma considerável parcela da mão de obra. Contudo, o ramo de varejo está sofrendo transformações estruturais, que abrem a possibilidade de convertê-lo em um importante produtor de novas identidades ligadas ao consumo. Portanto, este estudo objetiva analisar o serviço de venda no varejo de bens duráveis, principalmente, as seguintes questões: a atual configuração do trabalho e a sociedade de consumo, a identidade no trabalho, as interações no serviço de venda e a relação de gênero no varejo de bens duráveis. Esta pesquisa justifica-se, pois no Brasil encontramos poucos estudos sobre o trabalho no setor de serviços, isto é, em atividades que não estão diretamente relacionadas ao setor industrial - produtivo. Nesse sentido, este estudo busca contribuir com o debate sobre as transformações no mundo do trabalho, como também visibilizar a atividade de venda de bens duráveis sob o olhar sociológico. A metodologia, que orienta a pesquisa, é a triangulação, que contempla as técnicas de pesquisa quantitativas, assim como as qualitativas. Algumas informações foram retiradas de bancos de dados de instituições de pesquisas nacionais, além disso, foi realizado o trabalho de campo em duas empresas (Empresa A e Empresa B) que vendem produtos como: eletrodomésticos, eletroportáteis, móveis e aparelhos de áudio e vídeo, utilizando as técnicas de observação sistemática e de entrevista semiestruturada.

This research was focused working conditions of dangerous cargo conductor with alcohol, gasoline and diesel oil major, which carry the supply terminals of the port city of Cabedelo /PB. We favor this list of those workers engaged formally with a view to stimulating discussion about the precariousness which also occurs in formal setting. We performed this analysis as opposed to labor balance sheets of the last decade, which record a surplus of employees with Work and Social Security - signed CTPS, especially in the service sector. We assume, in view of the economic interests that form the foundation of this society, the positive balance of these indexes did not represent good working conditions and income, even if the work is under the apparatus of labor legislation providing for its protection. We chose the professional category in question in order to prove that even in possession of a great potential for mobilization, since the fuel and cargo transportation are essential to the economic drive, those workers are subsumed to precarious established by capital. Regarding the methodological procedures, we seek through literature and empirical research grasp on the reality of those working professionals. That said, we seek the Marxist methodology, the elucidation of wage labor as fundamental element of capitalist society. This analytical perspective we were profitable for us to further dialogue about the changes imposed on workers in the latest phase of capitalist development, namely: the dismantling of labor rights; the fragmentation of the working class, its fragmentation and weakening the struggle for better working conditions and income; the easing of relations of remuneration; precarious employment, among others. Commented above on the productive restructuring of capital, seen from the last decades of the twentieth century and the impact caused by the the world of work and, as a result, on the legal-political role of the state in legitimizing the new forms of management and organization of work. In general, we obtained the finding that in the group studied prevail formal workers hired by subcontractors and gas stations. And with regard to job insecurity checked there, we highlight the appalling physical and structural conditions for labor execution, versatility or diversion of functions and the neglect of labor rights. Considering this assumption, we found that the exploitation of the labor force in the universe of this research is of excessive way. Finally, we find strong evidence that once kept the bases of this society, economic rationalization and capital appreciation, the transformations in the world of work put up indifferent to improvements in the class labor conditions living labor.
Esta pesquisa tem como objeto as condições de trabalho dos condutores de carga perigosa, sendo álcool, gasolina e óleo diesel as principais, carregadas nos terminais de abastecimento do porto da cidade de Cabedelo/PB. Privilegiamos desse rol de trabalhadores aqueles contratados formalmente, na perspectiva de suscitar o debate acerca da precarização que também ocorre no cenário formal. Realizamos esta análise em contraponto aos balanços trabalhistas da última década, que registram um saldo positivo de empregados com Carteira de Trabalho e Previdência Social - CTPS assinada, em especial no setor de serviços. Pressupomos, em virtude dos interesses econômicos que conformam a base dessa sociedade, que o saldo positivo dos referidos índices não representaram boas condições de trabalho e renda, ainda que o trabalho esteja sob o aparato de uma legislação trabalhista que prevê a sua proteção. Elegemos a categoria profissional em pauta, no intuito de comprovar que mesmo de posse de um grande potencial de mobilização, já que o combustível e o transporte de cargas são imprescindíveis à movimentação econômica, estão os referidos trabalhadores subsumidos à precarização instituída pelo capital. No que concerne aos procedimentos metodológicos, buscamos por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e empírica apreender a realidade de trabalho daqueles profissionais. Posto isso, buscamos no método marxista, a elucidação do trabalho assalariado enquanto elemento fundante da sociedade do capital. Essa perspectiva de análise nos foi proveitosa para que mais adiante pudéssemos dialogar acerca das mudanças impostas aos trabalhadores na mais recente fase de desenvolvimento capitalista, a saber: o desmonte dos direitos do trabalho; o esfacelamento da classe trabalhadora, sua fragmentação e enfraquecimento às lutas por melhores condições de trabalho e renda; a flexibilização das relações de assalariamento; a precarização do trabalho, entre outras. Discorremos acerca da reestruturação produtiva do capital, observada a partir das últimas décadas do século XX e dos impactos causados por esta ao mundo do trabalho e, na sequência, sobre o papel jurídico-político do Estado na legitimação das novas formas de gestão e organização do trabalho. Em linhas gerais, obtivemos a constatação de que no universo pesquisado prevalecem trabalhadores formais, contratados por empresas terceirizadas e postos de combustíveis. E no que concerne à precarização do trabalho verificada ali, destacamos as péssimas condições físicas e estruturais à execução do labor, a polivalência ou o desvio de funções e o negligenciamento dos direitos do trabalho. Assim, considerando o pressuposto referido, pudemos constatar que a exploração da força de trabalho no universo desta pesquisa ocorre de maneira desmedida. Finalmente, verificamos fortes indícios de que, uma vez mantidas as bases dessa sociedade, de racionalização econômica e valorização do capital, as transformações no mundo do trabalho põem-se indiferentes às melhorias nas condições de labor da classe trabalhadora.

Abstract:

The last two decades have seen a large increase in evangelical theologies of work as has also been the case in other Christian traditions. Numerous different angles and perspectives on the subject have been unfolded so as to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the meaning of human work. Prominent themes have included work as a means towards sanctification, work as a means towards effective proclamation of the gospel, work that enables a fuller expression of worship to God, work as a means towards serving one’s neighbours. and even work which might transfer from this age into the new creation as part of humanity’s salvation in Christ. The Problem This thesis will provide in a thoroughgoing manner that which has not yet been dealt with in evangelical theology ‐ an examination of the work of those who are not Christian as it pertains to the new creation. That is, this project will examine whether there is any connection between earthly work performed by those who are not Christian and the kingdom of heaven. Protestant theologies (e.g. William Perkins, Emil Brunner, Karl Barth, Lee Hardy, together with each theological figure of this study) almost exclusively rule that such a connection lies beyond the margins of orthodoxy. Miroslav Volf, however, following in the theological footsteps of Jürgen Moltmann, briefly suggests the importance of such a connection in his Work in the Spirit in an attempt to assemble a framework for a synthetic vision of work. This passing mention by Volf has been the initial idea and point of departure for this study. And since Volf has welcomed others to develop his structures further into something more robust, I will do so as it pertains to the good work of ‘non‐ Christians’ and the eschaton. Although I will seldom revisit Volf’s contribution to the theology of work in the subsequent chapters, it is an appropriate launching point for this study and has made a formative impact upon this project’s inception.

Abstract:

Stress and sleep problems are common in the working population and cause considerable costs for society. Sleep is the most important part of recovery, and poor sleep has a negative impact on overall functioning, which might have important consequences for both the employee, the employer and society. In order to find strategies to alleviate this contemporary public health concern of stress and poor sleep in the working population, this thesis evaluated interventions performed at the workplace to target these issues. The first intervention is a randomized controlled trial of a 25% work time reduction for full-time workers within the public sector in Sweden. Study I evaluated the impact of work time reduction on subjective sleep quality, sleep duration, sleepiness, perceived stress, and bedtime worries. Assessments included diary data from one week at three occasions over 18 months. Study II investigated time-use patterns through activity reporting sheets used during the work time reduction by evaluating the amount of total workload, paid work, non-paid work and recovery activities. Both studies investigated workdays and days off separately as well as the importance of gender, family status and work situation (only Study II). The second randomized controlled intervention of the thesis is a group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention at the workplace targeting sleep disturbances among employees within the retail sector in Sweden (Study III). Data were collected through questionnaires, diaries and objective sleep measurement (actigraphy) over a period of ten days before and after the intervention, as well as at a three-month follow up. The study evaluated the effects of the intervention on sleep and explored the moderating effect of burnout-levels at baseline. In our studies, an economically fully compensated reduction of work hours for full-time workers lead to long-term positive effects on sleep duration and sleep quality, sleepiness and levels of perceived stress. During this work time reduction, the total workload of both paid and non-paid work was reduced and time spent in recovery activities increased. The results indicate that a more balanced relation between effort and recovery was established. The second intervention, which targets the individual through a group CBT-intervention for insomnia at the workplace, was shown to improve insomnia symptoms in daytime workers who did not suffer from concurrent burnout. Such an intervention could support the individual in handling sleep problems and preventing the development of more severe and chronic sleep disorders, as opposed to interventions aimed at making environmental changes at the workplace. However, the CBT-intervention evaluated within this thesis will need to be further developed in order to be beneficial for more groups of employees. The positive effects of these interventions might be beneficial for public health and help improve employee’s life satisfaction, daily functioning and health development.

Abstract:

Storytelling is often experienced as profound and transformative. Scholars view storytelling as both human essence and essential to human survival. This exploratory, qualitative study explored contemporary storytellers' reports of the good work of storytelling using the GoodWork Project (GWP) (Gardner, Csikszentmihalyi, and Damon, 2001) as the conceptual framework. Guided by the GWP this study examined cultural controls, social controls, individual standards, and outcome controls that impacted storytellers, their practice and good work.

This study applied the methodology of Gardner, Gregory, Csikszentmihalyi, Damon, and Michaelson (1997) and Gardner et al. (2001) to answer the primary research question, What do storytellers report regarding the good work of storytelling as conceptualized by the GWP (Gardner et al, 2001)? The unit of analysis was professional storytellers representing a population that that has not been studied any detailed and disciplined way. The cohort of a 12 storytellers, 3 men and nine women represented African American, Appalachian, Jewish, and Native American storytelling traditions. The protocol instrument consisted of inquiries in nine areas about their experiences, professional work, personal values, beliefs, opportunities and responsibilities relevant to storytelling.

The author conducted an in-depth one-on-one interview with 12 exemplary storytellers, all creative leaders. The complete interview was digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim. Storyteller responses comprised the data. The researcher hand-coded the content by hand, identifying eleven themes and GWP subtopics. For further data analysis, NVivo 10 text-analysis software was used. These steps categorized interviewees' statements according to richly interlinked motifs and ideas, which permitted the author to verify nodes showing the data's correspondence to the GWP conceptual framework.

Seven conclusions emanated from the findings describing storytellers' good work. The oral tradition, dedication to serving others, personal values, trust in storytelling community, culture and cultural heritage, and the paradox of technology impacted storytellers' good work. All of the storytellers interviewed and the overwhelming majority of contemporary scholarly literature agree with the argument that this dissertation develops, which is threefold: the human connection is at the heart of the power of story; second, the social environment for creative expression underlies the capacity of storytellers to do their professional work; and third, the opportunity to benefit other people, communities and support their own culture, also form critical features of storytellers' good work.

This study contributes to the view of storytelling as an art form and a leadership skill. It addresses the ethical questions of the use of stories and storytelling in business or corporate settings. This study described professional storytellers' experiences navigating complexities of the storytelling profession in today's highly technological and rapidly changing environment.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis argues that human work is a transformative activity which essentially consists of three dynamically interrelated dimensions: the instrumental, relational, and ontological dimensions. By these, along with work being an end in itself, the worker's and others' needs are providentially met; believers' sanctification is occasioned; and workers express, explore and develop their humanness while building up their natural, social and cultural environments to both protect and produce the order of this world and of the one to come. The first part shows that past and present theological evaluations of work are best understood according to this threefold description. Work's threefold nature is shown to correspond with Scripture (although here the instrumental is mainly discussed); the Patristic understanding opens up reflection toward work's ontology; and the Reformation particularly develops further the relational and ontological dimensions. In the modern Roman Catholic understanding, work's threefold nature does appear, although as seen in Laborem Exercens, the relational is given hierarchical priority over the instrumental. As modern Protestants revise old and explore new approaches, work's threefold understanding also emerges. However, the dimensions need further interrelated development, and the ontological needs to be more adequately expounded. The second part of the thesis develops work's ontology. A teleological framework is first established in dialogue with Alasdair MacIntyre and Oliver O'Donovan showing that eschatological and protological purposes and ends are essential for understanding a thing's nature (constitutionally and ethically). This builds toward a theological anthropology where an interpretive survey and interaction with Colin Gunton's anthropology highlights the necessity of relational and functional concepts. The ontology of work is further developed in dialogue with Jürgen Moltmann's anthropology. Work is shown to be a fundamental facet of created human existence, initially a part of God's creation, and in the resurrection a fundamental part of God's coming new creation. Finally, the overall proposal, a definition of work, redraws the boundaries for a theology of work, and functions as a dynamic model for ethically evaluating work.

Abstract:

In this thesis a mixed method research design is adopted to investigate the mechanisms underlying the relationships between servant leadership and employee task performance and citizenship behaviours. Also examined in this thesis is the impact of organisational politics on these relationships. The research, conducted in a South Asian context, comprises two studies utilising the sequential exploratory mixed-method research design. In the first qualitative study, 25 participants were purposefully selected from five different administrative departments of the case organisation. In the follow-up quantitative study, 236 participants were recruited using a convenience sample. Across both studies servant leaders were fund to work effectively to influence subordinates’ task performance and citizenship behaviours. This was the case even in highly political environments where self-centred activities are in abundance.

Full text

Abstract:

The calling orientation to work represents the seed that has germinated into the exponentially growing ‘work as a calling’ literature. It was first articulated by Robert Bellah, Richard Madsen, William Sullivan, Ann Swidler, and Steven Tipton within Habits of the Heart in the 1980s. The following critical analysis of the ‘work as a calling’ literature, and of the moral foundation of the calling orientation more specifically, is intended for two particular audiences. The first audience broadly includes an interdisciplinary group of scholars working within business ethics, management, organizational psychology, and vocational psychology, among other fields of study. Amidst these scholars’ exponentially increasing interest in the idea of ‘work as a calling,’ the anatomical structure of their research remains remarkably similar. Their notions of ‘work as a calling’ stress that work should provide individuals with a deep sense of personal fulfillment. In particular, they suggest that work should be a therapeutic source of individual meaning. To secure this meaning, they exhibit an apparent centeredness on the self and an emphasis on the unconstrained pursuit of personal preferences. In most cases, scholars within the ‘work as a calling’ literature tend to proffer notions of ‘meaningful work’ that are divorced from moral considerations about ‘good work.’ While this broad group of scholars copiously references the calling orientation within their research on ‘work as a calling,’ a deep-seated misunderstanding pervades the literature to the extent that notions of ‘meaningful work’ have been divorced from notions of ‘good work.’ To this broader audience, I demonstrate herein that they do not realize how antithetical their scholarly literature on ‘work as a calling’ is to the moral foundation of Bellah et al.’s calling orientation. Namely, I argue that the construal of calling as an orientation to work would not exist within the literature if Bellah et al. had not first articulated the calling orientation as a buffer against the unregulated pursuit of personal preferences. Therefore, I claim that this broader group of scholars either needs to abandon the notion of ‘work as a calling’ or engage with the appropriate virtue framework that undergirds the calling orientation. I suspect, however, that several of these scholars will be hesitant to take up the virtue framework that is inextricably linked to the calling orientation. For this reason, much of the work following chapter 2 is devoted to a narrower audience of MacIntyrean business ethicists. It is also dedicated to a few scholars from the broader ‘work as a calling’ group whom I trust will not wish to remain accidental contributors to the language of individualism that pervades the literature once I have unmasked it. Perhaps, in time, they will even become MacIntyrean business ethicists. Indeed, the appropriate moral framework that undergirds the ‘work as a calling’ literature is actively being worked out by a narrower group of MacIntyrean business ethicists, all of whom represent my primary audience for the research herein. To the MacIntyrean community, I hope not only to provide a complete list of tendencies within the ‘work as a calling’ literature that must be resisted, but also a picture of all of the ways that Bellah et al.’s calling orientation is wholly bound up with MacIntyre’s moral philosophy – particularly his theory of the virtues and the common goods that the virtues sustain. Bellah et al.’s calling orientation rests upon a vision of ‘good work,’ and this vision of ‘good work’ hinges on a MacIntyrean account of the virtues that is directed toward the achievement of three distinct types of common goods: (a) the good and worthy ends of workplace practices, (b) the goods of an individual life, and (c) the goods of communities – or, more broadly, the interests of a good society. Furthermore, it will be shown to the MacIntyrean community that visions of ‘good work,’ which are sustained by the calling orientation, are accompanied by a nuanced vision of pluralistic collaboration that MacIntyre and Bellah et al. share. (I anticipate that this will be surprising to many readers who are familiar with the typical and misleading characterization of MacIntyre as a sectarian). Bellah et al. as well as MacIntyre’s vision of pluralism matters for research on the calling orientation because these figures demonstrate that individuals within the late modern workplace are informed by a plurality of religious and humanistic traditions, all of which account for ultimate meaning and goodness in different ways that ought to be recognized. Distinctive religious and humanistic visions of ultimate meaning indeed impact the perceived goodness of one’s calling. Hence, we must attend to the polysemic and multivocal nature of accounting for the goodness of any one particular calling (i.e., a Buddhist doctor within the Western medical tradition is likely to articulate the goodness of his calling differently than a Jewish doctor working within the Western medical tradition). Still, however, Bellah et al. and MacIntyre’s account entails a hopefulness in the possibility of pluralistic, (or, what I shall call inter-traditional) striving for the achievement of common goods that are practical enough to agree upon.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
PROGRAMA DE SUPORTE À PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO DE INSTS. DE ENSINO
Esta tese tem como objetivo recuperar um enfoque ético sobre o bem (comum), porém dentro dos contextos sociais e eclesiais contemporâneos. David Hollenbach é o autor estudado neste trabalho, especialmente porque ele tenta responder a questões importantes como o papel da religião na vida pública, o conceito tradicional de tolerância e individualismo em uma sociedade pluralista e outros problemas contemporâneos sobre relacionamento em comunidade. Este estudo é estruturado em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo é uma análise da situação atual, caracterizada pelo pluralismo, o individualismo e a tolerância, cuja abordagem é ineficaz para lidar com a pobreza urbana nos Estados Unidos. O segundo capítulo estabelece um quadro teórico para o bem comum, com base em bens sociais, o papel público da religião, as contribuições teológicas de Agostinho e Tomás de Aquino, e da solidariedade intelectual. O último capítulo é uma leitura de questões práticas à luz da teoria do bem comum. A reafirmação da antiga tradição do bem comum, um valioso conceito para o pensamento social cristão, de tal forma que contribua para lidar com as divisões sociais da vida urbana contemporânea e da sociedade global é o principal objetivo. Hollenbach baseia-se em análise social, filosofia moral e ética teológica para traçar rnovos rumos que possibilitem a consecução do bem comum para todos os americanos. Os problemas de divisão entre a classe média e os pobres nas grandes cidades e outros desafios exigem um novo compromisso com o bem comum. A tolerância não é parâmetro para pautar este tipo de relacionamento. Ademais, o individualismo, profundamente arraigado na cultura americana, dificulta a consecução do bem comum. Para tanto, a leitura de Tomás de Aquino e Agostinho, na ética cristã de Hollenbach, convoca crentes e não crentes para se moverem em direção a novas formas de solidariedade, caso queiram viver juntos uma vida boa. Uma ressignificação teórica do bem comum permite fazer contribuições práticas às mais variadas abordagens de ordem política, social, cultural, religiosa em sua dinâmica de desenvolvimento.
This thesis aims to retrieve an ethical focus on the (common) good, but within the contemporary social and ecclesial contexts. David Hollenbach is a leading author in this field, especially because he attempts to answer important questions like the role of religion in public life, the traditional concept of tolerance and individualism in a pluralistic society, and other contemporary problems with relationships in a community. This study is structured into three chapters. The first one is an examination of the current situation characterized by pluralism, individualism, and tolerance, of which approach have not effectively addressed urban poverty in the United States. The second chapter establishes a theoretical framework for the common good based on social goods, public role of religion, theological contributions from Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, and intellectual solidarity. The final chapter is a reading of practical issues based on the common good theory. A restatement of the ancient tradition of the common good, a valuable concept to the Catholic social teaching, in a way that addresses contemporary social divisions in urban life and global society is the main objective of this thesis. Hollenbach draws on social analysis, moral philosophy, and theological ethics to chart new directions to bring the common good closer to all Americans. The problems of division between the middle class and the poor in major cities and other contemporary challenges require a new commitment to the common good. Tolerance is not the best reason to base this type of relationship. Moreover, individualism, deeply rooted in American culture, hinders the achievement of the common good. In order to achieve this, a reading of Thomas Aquinas and Augustine, in Hollenbach’s Christian ethics, calls both, believers and secular people, to move toward new forms of solidarity, if they wish to live a good life together. A theoretical reframing of the common good allows someone to make practical contributions to the various approaches of politics, society, culture, and religion in its developmental momentum.

Abstract:

Both economic and psychological research provides strong evidence that unemployment adversely affects a person's mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, which in turn may impair his/her ability to regain employment. Studies also suggest a person's "psychological capital" (personality traits that influence the productivity of labour) may mediate (1) the impact of unemployment on wellbeing and facilitate re-employment. While the effects of unemployment have been well documented, the simultaneous relationship between wellbeing and labour market status and the influencing role of psychological capital have received much less attention, requiring further investigation. There is still concern in the literature that "the exact nature of the interrelationships between labour market experience and mental health remains unclear and complicated by questions over the direction of causality and heterogeneous impacts across individuals." (Dockery, 2006, p. 2) The purpose of this research is to explore the interrelationship between labour market status, wellbeing, and psychological capital in more detail. The thesis combines key concepts from various economic and psychological theories, each partially describing how labour market status, wellbeing, and psychological capital interact with each other. The validity of the integrated model is then tested by estimating structural equations for labour market status and wellbeing using cross-sectional and longitudinal data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. The HILDA Survey is a broad social and economic survey that focuses on family and household formation, income and work. The survey contains economic, psychological, and demographic data with sound psychometric qualities for a large sample of working aged Australians that makes it well suited to this type of analysis. As well as the regression analyses, the results of a case study conducted with a group of jobseekers at an employment agency are also reported. The study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of personal development training for the unemployed (designed to improve psychological capital), and its subsequent influence on their ability to regain employment. While the research was halted before completion, some valuable insights were gleamed from the study, and these warrant discussion. Findings of the research indicate a simultaneous relationship exists between labour market status and wellbeing. Individuals with healthier wellbeing are more likely to be employed, and employment contributes to healthier wellbeing. The results also indicate psychological capital is an important variable influencing wellbeing, partially mediating the impact of unemployment on wellbeing. Employed individuals have significantly higher psychological capital than those who are unemployed or not in the labour force, or those who transition in and out of employment. Psychological capital appears to be a relatively stable, but somewhat malleable, personality construct that does not vary greatly for individuals experiencing changes in labour market status (LMS). People who develop poor psychological capital during youth may therefore be predisposed to a higher risk of being unemployed when they enter the labour market. The results suggest programs/policies that foster healthier wellbeing and psychological capital during youth, or repair damaged psychological capital once in the labour market, could help lower unemployment or the duration of unemployment. Recent Australian government policy initiatives designed to improve labour force participation and productivity by enhancing human capital are likely to be more effective if they also target psychological capital. The research also highlights shortcomings in mainstream economic theory, which are discussed along with the weaknesses of the study, and opportunities for further research. (1) A mediator effect (or indirect effect) involves one or more "intervening variables" transmitting some or all of the causal effects of prior variables (e.g. unemployment) onto subsequent variables (e.g. wellbeing).

Abstract:

Aboriginal peoples have been utilizing their own approaches to helping one another for centuries. Many Aboriginal social workers have incorporated these approaches or aspects of them in their professional practice. However, such approaches have not always been respected on their own merits by the social work profession. In recognition of this concern, the Canadian Association of the Social Workers (1994) have acknowledged the need for greater understanding and respect of Aboriginal practices.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the impact of difference within English Christian community work practice, setting this work in the context of broader debates over the relationship between faith, politics, identity and practice. Several dimensions of difference are considered, including difference as diversity of practice, difference as contestation of practice, and difference as 'the other'. A multi-stage research design is employed to study these dimensions of difference further, based on analysing usage of the concept of 'good practice'. This concept is found to be continually defined, re-defined, applied into particular situations and contested through everyday interpretations, interactions and processes. The complexity of interests, relationships and structures at different levels are explored through consecutive case studies, highlighting both individual and organisational dynamics. An analysis of the data highlights several areas where current understandings and applications are creating counter-productive tendencies and dilemmas for all those involved. Questions of identity, purpose and learning are all found to be central to understanding and addressing these difficulties. Finally, a refined model of Christian community work is proposed that is based on informal education. This model begins to resolve these difficulties, thus helping to develop an improved understanding of this work to inform policy and practice.

Abstract:

Titeln på denna kunskapsöversikt syftar dels till att ge en förklaring av arbetets innehåll men den syftar också dels till att skapa ett intresse för dig som läsare genom en mer skämtsam användning av språkväxling i skriven form, då språkväxling är en del av dagens engelskundervisning och språkundervisning världen över. Målspråksanvändning har länge varit ett huvudämne inom forskningen om undervisning i främmande språk och där ställs många olika tolkningar mot varandra. Styrdokument, lärare, lärarstudenter och lärarutbildningar har alla samma mål, att sträva efter elevernas bästa och lägga en stadig grund där elever får möjligheten att utvecklas i sin språkförmåga. Det egna språket har till stor del alltid varit med och influerat språkundervisningen. Lärare har använt sig av sitt eget språk som ett medel för att de ska känna sig trygga i sin språkundervisning och i sitt klassrum. I denna översikt kommer målspråksanvändningen stå i fokus. Denna översikt syftar till att kartlägga vad som kännetecknar forskningen om målspråksanvändning i språkundervisning. Den ämnar även att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar lärare och lärarstudenters val av mängden målspråksanvändning. Slutligen syftar översikten till att utifrån kunskapsöversiktens resultat dra slutsatser och förslag till relevant framtida forskning inom forskningsområdet. För att uppfylla vårt syfte tog vi hjälp av sökord och urvalskriterier och vi identifierade 8 vetenskapliga studier som ingick i vår översikt. Översiktens resultat visar olika faktorer på målspråksanvändning som är återkommande i dessa 8 studier. Det blir tydligt var problematiken ligger och vi kan identifiera förklaringar från både lärare och lärarstudenter kring deras val av målspråksanvändning. Dessa förklaringar leder till en diskussion där vi sedan kan konstatera att osäkerheten till den egna språkförmågan hos lärare och lärarstudenter är en anledning till deras förhållningssätt till målspråksanvändning. Vi hittar även att otydlighet från styrdokument och lärarutbildning bidrar till osäkerheten hos lärare och lärarstudenter. Lärares och lärarstudenters kunskap kring hur och när målspråket ska användas är bristfällig och behöver utvecklas. Forskningen behöver lägga mer fokus på de obesvarade frågorna som synliggörs i denna forskningsöversikt.

In the current climate of proliferating nonprofit organizations and demanding social service needs, volunteers play a crucial role. This study looks at career volunteers, who, unlike other types of volunteers, identify with their work as if it were a paying occupation. It examines personal narratives and experiences through interviews in two Kansas communities and in-depth participant observation in one Kansas homeless shelter to find unique identity formation in the way that career volunteers make sense of who they are and what they do. These volunteers show a tendency to reject modern frames around the concepts of work, home, and volunteerism. Instead, they integrate life categories, lending an often counter-cultural conception of identity and meaning to their lives’ work.

Abstract:

This thesis is an ethnographic study of a rural community in central Vanuatu, many of whom have been engaged as seasonal workers in New Zealand and Australia’s horticultural industries since 2008. Based on sixteen months’ ethnographic fieldwork divided between Lamen Island and Lamen Bay, Epi, I examine why people choose to leave their home to engage in often-difficult work and seasonal absences, in order to build a ‘good house’ and ‘good life’ at home. I suggest that ‘the good house’ is an icon of the Li-Lamenu vision for improved moral and material ‘standards of living’. I reveal how seasonal work engagements emerge in the context of mutually dependent and moralised but often-ambivalent employer-employee relations. Time away is often experienced as the subordination of one’s life and work to the demands of a labour regime, but is submitted to as opening opportunities, or ‘roads’ for value conversions of time into money, and money in into the future of the household, and community development. However, the quest for a good life in the shape of the good house raises tensions and contradictions that householders must negotiate in order to ‘live together well’ with kin and community. The rise of the ‘good house’ is associated with a concomitant decline in ‘respect’ for kin and Chiefs, and the proliferation of ‘broken homes’, and land disputes. Throughout this thesis, I will suggest that the good house concretises the increasing direction of money, time and resources into household-oriented goals. This process of household nucleation is also evident in tensions over changes in ritual performance and expenditure and land tenure patterns. I conclude that these insights contribute to the anthropology of kinship and ritual, as well as wider understandings of temporary migration and development theory and policy.

Abstract:

Despite the fundamentally historical nature of the Christian faith the history of biblical interpretation has been marked by periods in which the Bible was read through the lens of faith with little regard for history using the principles of allegory (the late classical and medieval Church), or through the lens of history with little regard for faith using the tools of historical criticism. The following is an argument that this conflict is rooted in the failure to give to historical time an authentically Christian theological purpose. History as a means of revelation was rejected by the Greeks and this prejudice set the stage for how a hellenized Church approached it. Generally it was an ambivalent acceptance of it. A concept of history that justifies it as a faithful hermeneutical tool must be rooted in the Incarnation in order to unite it to divine eternity. By this means Scripture can be seen to be both the eternal word of God and the historically written words of men simultaneously. The Incarnation is here seen as the sole means whereby the Creator can unite with and interact with his creation. And it should be used as a template for interpreting all actions of God in the world, especially revelation. The central premise of such a hermeneutic is that the eternal cannot be known to the created unless it comes in created, therefore spacial and temporal form. This argument will begin as a historical study of early biblical interpretation to trace the development of the practice of allegory. From there a study of time in the thoughts of two central theologians of the Latin and Greek Church, Augustine and Gregory of Nyssa, followed by an examination of the use of history in modern theologians. A more detailed examination of the subject of time and God's relationship to it will be made with a concluding section tracing out the principles of an incarnational hermeneutic.

Abstract:

Denna uppsats belyser hur förhörsledare väljer förhörsmetod och hur det kan påverka rättssäkerheten. Syftet var att undersöka hur erfarenheten påverkar förhörsledarens val av förhörsmetod samt hur erfarenheten tas tillvara och sprids inom Polisverksamheten. Studien har genomförts i samarbete med Polisen i Malmö. I undersökningen har förhörsledare och individer med gedigen kunskap inom området intervjuats. Resultatet visar att erfarenheten kan påverka rättssäkerheten, dock har det inte undersökts i vilken utsträckning den gör det. Förhörsledare tillämpar inte en specifik förhörsmetod utan använder sig av den fria berättelsen som är ett inslag i både PEACE-modellen och den kognitiva intervjumetoden. Resultatet visa vidare att respondenterna i stor utsträckning vill att erfarenheter av förhörsmetoder ska spridas på ett bättre sätt. Respondenterna uttryckte även att mer vidareutbildning inom området är önskvärt då metoderna bör följa samhällsutvecklingen.
This thesis explores the way the interrogator chooses method of interrogation based upon experience and how this in turn will affect legal certainty. The purpose is to examine how the experiences within the police force will be taken advantage of and how it is disseminated within the organization. The study was conducted in cooperation with the Police in Malmö. By interviewing interrogators and persons with first-rate knowledge about the subject the researcher has tried to get as extensive research material as possible. The results show that experience can affect legal certainty, but the extent of this has not been further investigated. Interrogators do not use a specific interrogation method but uses the free story that is a feature in both the PEACE-model and the cognitive interview method. Furthermore, the experiences within the Police force in Malmö was examined and the results show that the respondents want this to be disseminated to a higher extent. The respondents also expressed that further education was most important and desirable as the methods develop to the same extent as society.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
A partir de inquietações surgidas em grupos de reflexão realizados em algumas creches privadas do Rio de Janeiro, procuro compreender a influência da atual crise do trabalho na relação entre os pais e seus filhos pequenos. Recorro à investigação bibliográfica sobre a história das relações família /trabalho no capitalismo, incluindo suas recentes transformações. Realizo também uma pesquisa qualitativa na qual são feitas entrevistas com pais de crianças de classe média.Constato que, com o nascimento da sociedade industrial, opera-se uma cisão entre a esfera privada tida como íntima e de cuidado e a esfera do trabalho industrial vivida na impessoalidade. O modo de vida da primeira é então concebido de modo a ser útil às prescrições da segunda. Observo que as transformações mais recentes na esfera produtiva fazem emergir o ideal de um trabalhador tanto mais autônomo quanto menos dependente de empregos estáveis, o que intensifica a contradição entre os ideais de proteção na esfera privada e de absoluta desproteção na esfera pública. Procuro entender como esse novo modelo repercute sobre as expectativas que os pais hoje dirigem às crianças, trazendo com ele certos impasses. Um contraponto para os mesmos é pensado à luz do conceito de experiência transicional desenvolvido por Winnicott, que permite uma crítica à dissociação operada desde a modernidade entre o cuidado aos filhos e o campo cultural mais amplo .
Following some issues raised in reflection groups carried out in private nurseries in Rio de Janeiro, I ve tried to understand the influence of the current crisis of labor on the relationship among parents and their little children. I have recurred to a bibliographical research about the relationship between family and work in capitalism, including its recent changes. It was also accomplished a qualitative research in which mid-class parents were listened in interviews. I have verified that the emergence of the industrial society brought about a split between the domestic and the work environments; the former is considered the space of care and intimacy whereas the latter is seen as cold and impersonal. The domestic environment will start, then, to be defined in a way as to satisfy the requirements of the industrial organization. I ve also verified that the most recent transformations in the productive process destroy stability and in this way create the ideal of a completely - independent worker, so enhancing the contradiction between the ideal of protection in the domestic environment and that of absolute exposure in the public one . I ve also tried to understand how such new model influences the expectations that parents have about their children , with all their intrinsic difficulties. A counterpoint to that is thought in the light of the concept of transitional experiencedeveloped by Winnicott, that allows a critic to the modern concept of parenthood that reduced it as being disconnected from the wider cultural field.

O objetivo desta tese é o de oferecer um estudo interdisciplinar sob as perspectivas da análise do discurso, da semiótica e de estudos de cinema. O corpus para análise é o desempenho lingüistico do protagonista, Melvin, do filme premiado 'Melhor é Impossível'. Através da observação das escolhas lexicogramaticais reforçadas com a comunicação não-verbal examino a modificação progressiva da sua maneira rude de interagir. O foco básico é dos aspectos lingüisticos de trabalho de face em busca de qualquer alteração na natureza social de Melvin refletido por meio dessas escolhas. Trechos de diversas cenas do filme são investigados de acordo com parâmetros de análise de discurso (van Dijk, 1997). A fundamentação teórica de polidez (Goffman, 1969; Brown and Levinson, 1987; Holmes, 1995), estudos de semiótica (Kress and van Leeuwen, 1996) e de roteiro (Howard e Mabley, 1996) ponderados para realizar a investigação. Os resultados mostram que as declarações feitas por Melvin agem dialécticalmente para reforçar sua posição ideológica de preconceito. O ato de repensar seus ideais, a respeito de homosexuais e outros grupos de minoria, é demonstrado por meio das modificações progressivas de trabalho de face de Melvin. O estudo pretende promover uma conscientização do elo bidirecional entre linguagem e sociedade

This Quantitative Study undertook to investigate what family members or caregivers of deceased patients from a private oncology unit in Cape Town experienced during the last week of that patient’s life. The social expectation or conventionally held belief that Good Death is only attainable at home was challenged, with findings indicating that it is possible to achieve a Good Death in a hospital setting.

Abstract:

Congregationalists were a major presence in the ecclesiastical landscape of Edwardian Hampshire. With a number of churches in the major urban centres of Southampton, Portsmouth and Bournemouth, and places of worship in most market towns and many villages they were much in evidence and their activities received extensive coverage in the local press. Their leaders, both clerical and lay, were often prominent figures in the local community as they sought to give expression to their Evangelical convictions tempered with a strong social conscience. From what they had to say about Congregational leadership, identity, doctrine and relations with the wider world and indeed their relative silence on the issue of gender relations, something of the essence of Edwardian Congregationalism emerges. In their discourses various tensions were to the fore, including those between faith and good works; the spiritual and secular impulses at the heart of the institutional principle; and the conflicting priorities of churches and society at large. These reflect the restlessness of the period and point to a possible 'turning of the tide'. They also call into question the suitability of constructs such as 'faith in crisis' or 'faith society' to characterise the church history of the Edwardian era.

The nature of work is changing. Until recently, the majority of people worked in fixed, team-based collaborations in collocated settings for fixed periods of time. Currently we are experiencing a major shift towards distributed work. D-work is multi-tasking (workers participate in many projects and teams that often change), multi-locational (work is conducted by people located in different divisions, firms, organizations and time-zones) and mobile (people conduct work while transiting). D-Work changes the definition of the traditional office and blurs the boundaries between home, workplace and the city. Homes will have to accommodate work, businesses must adapt their policies and office spaces to D-work and cities have to adapt to new patterns of mixed work-live units. At the moment, workers, managers and designers have become less aware of where, when, with whom and during which activities, does the most productive and creative work take place. In an effort to tackle the above mentioned issue, we developed a methodology that combines Context-Aware Experience Sampling with traditional ethnographic tools. Our system is composed of a Bluetooth-based positioning system, a context-aware self-report survey administered on mobile phones and traditional questionnaires. The methodology was tested via a four week case study on innovation that was conducted in a marketing firm based in Helsinki. During the study we collected data from eleven participants about the occurrence of work-related ideas and barriers inside and outside the office space.
(cont.) All participants provided us with information about their work habits by filling out a questionnaire prior to the beginning of the study. By juxtaposing their answers to their actual work-life data that we collected, similarities and discrepancies between the two emerged that helped us to understand and assess their work behavior. General results as well as personal reports that were compiled for three subjects are presented and analyzed. An overall assessment of the system and suggested improvements based on results and participant feedback are also discussed.

Abstract:

This study was created with the hope of empowering Naskapi elders and community members to share their reflections and experiences with current and past social welfare policies and practices within the community of Kawawachikamach. Community members participated actively in consultation group sharing sessions where they voiced their personal distresses incurred through encounters with the child welfare system over the years. The original purpose of the study was to explore how family group conferencing and related strength based techniques could be adapted to create a culturally appropriate case planning and decision making model in the First Nations community of Kawawachikamach. However, community members' needs were overwhelming and their search for personal and community healing led to more discussion and sharing for a community vision for health instead of a reflection on the adaptation of models. Community members enjoyed being provided with this information and were hopeful for their community after seeing some adaptations which had been made in other communities. Naskapis believe that one solution is to engage families as much as possible in child welfare practices and that whenever possible solutions would be first looked at within the family and extended family and by services being fully supportive of these entities. This solution is one of several included in a set of recommendations created for the community. The study participants are eager to present these recommendations to their community as well as focus on change by following a detailed action plan created to re-evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the current child and family development services.
Cette étude a été créé pour donner l`opportunité aux membres de la communauté Naskapi de partager leurs réflexions et leurs expériences actuels avec les pratiques de la protection de l'enfance au sein de la communauté de Kawawachikamach. Des membres de la communauté ont participé activement aux séances de consultation du groupe de partage où ils ont exprimé leurs angoisses personnelles engagées par des rencontres avec le système de protection de l'enfance au fil des ans. Le but initial de l'étude était d'explorer comment les conférences du groupe familial et des techniques de base de résistance connexes pourraient être adaptés pour créer un modèle culturel de dans la communauté de Kawawachikamach. Toutefois, les besoins des membres collectifs ont été écrasante et leur recherche pour la guérison personnelle conduit à davantage de discussions et le partage d'une vision communautaire pour la santé au lieu d'une réflexion sur l'adaptation des modèles.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the discourses and organisations through which girls' development towards adult womanhood was framed and managed during the inter-war period. It examines how contemporary perceptions of social change following the First World War resulted in widespread scrutiny of girls' circumstances and behaviour, particularly their sexual conduct. It argues that representations and responses to girls were increasingly underpinned by the conceptualisation of adolescence as a critical period of change and instability. This understanding of adolescence pervaded both medical and lay discourses. It was interpreted through the prisms of gender and class, and served to legitimise increasing levels of intervention into girls' lives, mainly on the basis of their sexual behaviour or perceived exposure to sexual risk. Adolescence was also represented as the period in which individuals developed moral agency. This study examines the increased importance ascribed to the moral training of the adolescent, in the context of widespread agreement of the need to express traditional moral values in ways that took account of social change. This was seen as particularly important for girls, not only because of their changing circumstances, but because of women's new status as enfranchised citizens. The thesis explores the work of the Girl Guides Association and the Young Women's Christian Association in some detail. These organisations drew upon the discourse of social change, adolescence and citizenship to claim an enhanced role in shaping the development of young women. While histories of girls' youth organisations have tended to portray them as conservative movements intent on socialising girls into their future role as wives and mothers, this study highlights these organisations' commitment to preparing girls to understand and exercise their future responsibilities as citizens, and argues that such organisations were more complex in their purposes, and more varied in their approaches, than has previously been recognised.

Full text

Abstract:

Drawing upon my eleven-month ethnographic fieldwork in two business organisations in Bangkok, Thailand, this thesis explores Thai women office workers consumption of makeup and clothes at work. What emerges from this thesis is that a claim to beauty as a reason for which women are engaged in the consumption of makeup and clothes is not always valid. Grounded in theoretical discussions and empirical findings, I argue that the women s consumption of makeup and clothes is not always in the pursuit of beauty, but rather the pursuit of looking good. While beauty is perceived as an innate quality of the body, looking good entails the materialisation of the outer body through consumption practices in an attempt to achieve an ideal look. I introduce a concept of looking good practices. Looking good practices demonstrate the ways in which women office workers exert agency in mobilising their outer bodies to achieve an appropriate appearance at work. I argue that looking good practices entail a process of social learning. The women office workers learn to look good through the process by which they look at other women, participate in the practices shared amongst themselves, negotiate the meanings of appropriateness and reify such meanings through their consumption of makeup and clothes. By sharing meanings and practices, the women office workers inevitably participate in looking good practices, which, I argue, are social practices. My research also demonstrates how, through their engagement in the consumption of makeup and clothes, the women office workers aestheticise their bodies to be situated in the aesthetic workplace.

Abstract:

In recent years, the already idealized practice of families sitting down together to eat a homemade meal and enjoy each other's company has been bolstered by academic research that suggests family meals are good for children. In response to these findings, several organizations have launched campaigns promoting family meals. In this dissertation, I compare the ways family meals are framed by the organizations that promote them to how parents frame them by conducting a qualitative content analysis of ten campaign websites and interviews with 46 parents. The sample of campaigns represents commercial and nonprofit organizations, and the sample of parents varies by income and marital status, allowing me to determine whether frames used by a certain type of organization are likely to resonate with certain demographics. My findings suggest that while organizational framing of family meals is sometimes similar to way parents frame them, there are some important disjunctions that are likely to decrease the potential effectiveness of the campaigns. In general, campaigns frame family meals more in terms of conversation and what happens around the table, while parents frame them more in terms of food and labor. When campaign frames do match parents' frames, they align more closely with higher-income and married parents, particularly in the case of commercial organizations, while nonprofit campaigns align more closely with lower-income and single parents. This project contributes to the literatures on framing, social marketing, and consumption by using frame analysis to gauge the potential effectiveness of the promotion of a set of everyday consumption practices. It provides insight into how parents think about and perform the tasks involved in creating family meals within an organizational context and the creation of cultural discourse about them. A practical application is using this information to improve the promotion of family meals, particularly for lower-income and single parents.

Abstract:

The thesis concentrates on the psychological consequences ofthe contemporary work. Two focal question of the thesis are,first, why do employeespsychological resources becomeconsumed in the contemporary working life? Second, how tocreate regenerative work enabling employeesdevelopmentin the present situation? The latter question aims todistinguish the conditions for sustainable individual andcollective development at work. The empirical research consistsof two studies; the Empirical Study I with explorative casestudies in two »new economy« companies and theEmpirical Study II with action research case studies in apublic hospital and a tenantsunion. In the EmpiricalStudy II, the case organizations defined their problemsrelating to human resources consumption. The subsequent actionresearch projects aimed to work on these problems and togenerate ideas for regenerative work.

The case studies indicate that many contemporary workinglife problems relate to fundamental changes at work. Confinedbureaucratic work is gradually changing into more complex andboundaryless work. Instead of bureaucratic impersonality, suchwork requires comprehensive personal presence from employees.However, organizational arrangements have not followed thedevelopment. Organizational structures and practices are stillaimed at controlling and guiding compartmentalized, stablework. Consequently, post-bureaucratic work realities exist inbureaucratic work organizations; the clashes between the twooperation logics lead to negative consequences at individualand organizational levels.

The thesis studies the reasons for the gap betweenbureaucratic organizational logic and post-bureaucratic worklogic. Furthermore, organizational and individual approachesleading to more comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful workare explored. When it comes to organizational approaches, theredoes not seem to exist a certain structure for apost-bureaucratic organization; such an organization is a stateof collective and individual mind rather than a fixed solution.At individual level, bureaucratic thinking has to grow intopost-bureaucratic thinking at all hierarchical levels.Responsibility taking and complex thinking are needed. Mentalmodels enabling versatile functioning within an organizationare required.
