Full textAu cours des 40 dernières années, il y à eu une augmentation constante de la proportion de femmes qui occupent la profession de dentiste. Dans cette étude, j'ai l'intention de mieux comprendre les questions et les préoccupations qui influencent les caractéristiques du travail des femmes dentistes. Un certain nombre d'études ont montré que les différences existent entre les sexes dans le choix de spécialisation, les modes de pratique et les attitudes professionnelles. Ces études ont révélé que les femmes sont plus attirées par les soins dentaires primaires que par d'autres spécialités dentaires. Il est également évident que les femmes travaillent moins d'heures; travaillent à temps partiel et de voir moins de patients que les hommes et sont moins susceptibles de posséder leur propre pratique. Il y a aussi une différence de revenu net entre les dentistes masculins et féminins. Une description qualitative a été utilisée comme méthodologie, pour guider cette étude pilote. Un échantillon composé de six femmes dentistes, à différents stades de leur carrière (i.e., les médecins généralistes et spécialistes) fut recruté dans la grande région de Montréal au Canada. Les participantes proviennent soit des cliniques dentaires de l'Hôpital Général de Montréal ou de cliniques dentaires privées. Toutes les entrevues ont été entièrement retranscrites avec les données gérées parle logiciel NVivo vr.9 pour faciliter l'analyse. Les résultats suggèrent que les femmes dentistes estiment qu'il est difficile de balancer travail et résponsabilitées familiales. Dans l'ensemble, l'augmentation du nombre de femmes dans les cabinets dentaires aux prises avec les exigences supplémentaires des activités ménagère, suggère que la relation entre le statut professionnel et le bonheur familial est une question importante à considérer par chacune d'elles. Par conséquent, pour que les femmes dentistes puissent atteindre un équilibre entre ces deux domaines de la vie, une meilleure compréhension est nécessaire entre l'effet de la famille, de la société et le lieu de travail.

PROGRAMA DE EXCELENCIA ACADEMICA
O presente estudo teve como objetivo central desenvolver uma investigação sobre a vida profissional da mulher do militar e apoiou-se na literatura que aponta que a carreira no Exército apresenta demandas que se estendem a toda a família. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada com oito esposas de oficiais do Exército brasileiro, com idades entre vinte e cinco e quarenta e três anos, com formação e experiência profissional. A partir da análise do conteúdo das entrevistas, concluímos que essas demandas, especialmente os frequentes deslocamentos geográficos, têm aumentado as dificuldades das mulheres em conciliar a vida profissional e familiar/conjugal. As transferências foram associadas a perdas, estagnação e retrocesso nas carreiras. A imprevisibilidade marca a vida das entrevistadas, gerando insegurança quanto aos projetos, além de sentimentos de incerteza, falta de controle e limitação no tocante ao próprio destino. A distância dos familiares e, em muitos momentos, dos cônjuges tem influenciado a relação dessas mulheres com suas carreiras, passando elas a priorizar empregos com maior flexibilidade de horário ou abrindo mão de trabalhar, ao menos temporariamente. Mesmo com o incentivo dos maridos e com todos os benefícios que foram atribuídos ao trabalho feminino, os interesses da carreira do militar estão sempre em primeiro plano, orientando as decisões mais significativas dos casais. O modelo de família idealizado pelo Exército, a adesão das esposas aos valores da instituição e à carreira do militar contribuem para que as mulheres secundem os maridos, adaptem suas carreiras às deles e, muitas vezes, abdiquem de seus próprios projetos profissionais. Constatou-se que há ambivalência de sentimentos relacionados a ser mulher de militar. As mulheres reconhecem que possuem papel relevante na carreira dos maridos, mas revelam sentimentos de pesar pelos projetos profissionais colocados em segundo plano ou abandonados.
This study s objective is to develop a research on the professional lives of military wives. It was based on the literature that indicates that a career in the Army presents demands that involve the whole family. The field research was conducted with the participation of eight officer s wives of the Brazilian Army, ages between twenty-five and forty-three, all of them having a major degree and professional experience. Using the content analysis, we conclude that these demands, especially the frequent geographic moving, have increased women s difficulties in reconciling work, family, and marital life. The constant changes of address were associated with loss, stagnation and retrogression in careers. Unpredictability makes an impression in the interviewees lives, leaving them insecure about their projects, in addition to feelings of uncertainty, lack of control and limitation on their own destiny. The distance from relatives, and in many cases also from the spouses, has influenced the relationship of these women with their careers, making them prioritize jobs with more flexible hours or giving up working at all, at least temporarily. Even with the encouragement of their husbands and all the benefits that have been attributed to women s work, the interests of the military career of their husband are always in the foreground, guiding the most significant couple decisions. The family model devised by the Army, the requirement of wives adherence to the values of the institution and to their husbands military career, they all contribute to women s submission, so wives adapt their professional lives and often abdicate of their own work projects. We can conclude that there is an ambivalence of feelings related to being a military wife. Women recognize that they have an important role in their husbands careers, but they also show feelings of regret about their own professional projects, placed in the background or abandoned.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to make industry employers, teachers and career guides aware of the barriers that continue to hold back women from pursuing careers in the construction industry. This research study focused on females working in the construction industry and investigated the experiences of women who chose to study construction-related degrees. The goal was to communicate what influenced their choice to study degrees in the construction industry, and what factors are currently influencing their career development. This was done with the purpose of finding solutions to re-engineer and transform the industry and make a form of transformation. A quantitative research methodology was used as a means of collecting and analysing data. This comprised of questionnaires which were designed and distributed, using targeted sampling, to 82 women studying construction-related degrees and 54 women actively employed in professional positions in the South African construction industry. Respondents’ experiences were captured with quantitative data on education, course preference, family involvement, mentors, self-efficacy, women involvement, cultural influence, image of industry, reason for entering industry, motivator/influencer, traditional beliefs, social and cultural beliefs, government involvement, time, slow career progression, inclusive environment, queen bee syndrome, site conditions, discrimination and harassment. The data was analysed by using quantitative methods. Questionnaires were developed and ranked on a scale of one to five, namely strongly agree to strongly disagree and interpreted by means of counting the frequency of occurrence of answers to each ranked question. Percentages were then calculated and responses weighted according to average means. The findings and conclusions indicate the choices women make, what motivates women in South Africa to choose careers in the construction industry and the barriers encountered by them. The results from this study highlight the need for a shift in the industry; and the findings give employers, teachers and career guiders insight into what draws women into the industry and what underlying issues women face once in the industry. This provides as a guide for strategic change within educational environments and within the industry to encourage more women not only to draw themselves to find careers in the construction industry, but also retain them.

Full textThis study explored caregiving among African American women baby boomers, born between 1946-1964, who are caring for older parents and who are working in professional and managerial positions. The purpose of this study was to describe the lived experience of these caregivers including their perceptions of caregiving, the impact of caregiving on their professional lives, the accommodations they make to balance professional roles and responsibilities, and the supports that are available to them. Utilizing a phenomenological research design approach, this research study explores and describes the intricacies of the lived experience of a purposefully selected sample of 20 African American professional women caring for older parents. The knowledge generated from this research study will provide new insights into caregiving among African American professional women to inform social work practice and to influence the development of culturally appropriate workplace policies to support caregivers.This research study explicates the meaning, structure, and essence of caregiving for African American professional women caring for older family members. The study emerges from the intersection of the life course perspective, stress process perspective, and role theory to create a conceptual framework describing the caregiving experiences of African American professional women baby boomers.The study generates a caregiving perspective for professional African American women and adds to the strength-based and empowerment perspectives of culturally relevant caregiving research.
