Gohin, Audrey. "Variabilité des pratiques professionnelles des conseillers/référents RSA. Le rôle de la représentation de l'employabilité, du sentiment de reconnaissance et des conflits de rôles et de valeurs perçus." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Toulouse 2, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023TOU20066.
Abstract:
Depuis la sortie des Trente Glorieuses, les politiques de l’emploi et de lutte contre l’exclusion s’efforcent de résorber le chômage de masse (Zoberman, 2011). Aux échelles nationale et départementale, les dispositifs d’aide à l’insertion se multiplient et se succèdent. Cette diversité rend peu lisible le « maquis institutionnel » qui caractérise le secteur de l’insertion professionnelle (DARES, 2008) malgré une volonté gouvernementale de réduire ce millefeuille par la voie de « France Travail » (2023). Si nombre de travaux scientifiques se sont centrés sur la construction (Ebersold, 2005 ; Trindade-Chadeau, 2012) et sur les effets de ces dispositifs sur les demandeurs d’emploi (Hamzaoui, 2005 ; Wuhl, 1996), peu de travaux se sont intéressés aux acteurs du secteur de l’insertion qui œuvrent en bout de chaîne des politiques de l’emploi. Partant de ce constat, notre thèse, ancrée en psychologie sociale du travail et des organisations, vise à analyser la variabilité des pratiques professionnelles d’une population spécifique d’acteurs de l’insertion : « les conseillers/référents du Revenu de Solidarité Active (RSA) ». Le champ professionnel de l’insertion a la particularité de se situer à la croisée de logiques gestionnaires qui visent à réduire le nombre de demandeurs d’emploi (Bajoit, 2005 ; Zwick Monney, 2015b) et de valeurs plus humanistes héritées du secteur du social, plus à même de tenir compte de la singularité des situations des demandeurs d’emploi (Brégéon, 2008). Dans ce contexte particulier, comment les conseillers/référents RSA exercent-ils et se représentent-ils leur rôle professionnel ? Certains conseillers RSA vont, par exemple, davantage adapter leur pratique aux prescriptions institutionnelles en matière d’employabilité. D’autres vont davantage chercher à se dégager une marge de manœuvre afin de tenir compte de la spécificité des situations des personnes accompagnées. Inscrite dans une perspective psychosociale, la thèse vise à décrire et à rendre compte de la variabilité des pratiques professionnelles à travers l’orientation de rôle des conseillers/référents RSA. En référence au modèle théorique d’une socialisation plurielle et active (Baubion-Broye et al., 2013 ; Malrieu, 1989), nous postulons que l’orientation du rôle professionnel de ces conseillers/référents ne dépend pas de façon linéaire des prescriptions institutionnelles mais qu’il relève d’une activité subjective complexe – d’intersignification - mettant en perspective leurs représentations professionnelles - de l’employabilité et du cadre institutionnel prescrit -, leur rapport à soi et aux autres (sentiment de reconnaissance) et leurs propres valeurs qui peuvent être parfois cohérentes entre elles ou parfois concurrentes et source de conflits intrapersonnels. Cette activité – non exempte de doutes, de remises en question – génère une orientation du rôle spécifique à chaque conseiller. Pour rendre compte de cette variabilité, nous avons utilisé une méthodologie mixte qui articule deux volets empiriques : une étude qualitative exploratoire et une étude extensive. L’étude qualitative a été menée par entretiens semi-directifs auprès de 12 référents RSA. Une double analyse des entretiens – thématique et lexicométrique via AlcesteEducation2018 - montre deux orientations du rôle professionnel prédominantes chez les référents RSA. L’étude extensive menée par questionnaire auprès de 211 conseillers/référents RSA nous a permis de montrer que les conseillers/référents RSA s’inscrivent soit dans une dynamique conflictuelle dans l’orientation de leur rôle professionnel, soit dans une dynamique de reconnaissance de l’orientation de ce rôle. Les deux volets empiriques montrent une population majoritairement à l’aise dans l’orientation de son rôle professionnel mais qui développe toutefois des inquiétudes pour l’avenir de son secteurSince the end of « the 30-year post-war boom », the french employment and fight against exclusion policies have been trying to reduce the mass employment (Zoberman, 2011). At national and local levels, job integration plans are happening with greater frequency. However, this diversity make understandable the « insititutional confusing » typical for french job integration system (DARES, 2008) despite the government's desire to reduce this maze through « France Travail » (2023). While a number of academic studies have focused on buildings plans (Ebersold, 2005 ; Trindade-Chadeau) and evaluate the effects of theses plans on job-seekers (Hamzaoui, 2005 ; Wuhl, 1996), few studies have examined the actors in the integration sector, at the end of the employment policy chain. Based on this observation, our thesis, rooted in Work and Organizations Psychology, aims to analyze the professional practice of a specific population of insertion actors : "Revenu de Solidarité Active (RSA) advisors/referents". The french integration system is unique, it is at the crossroads between managerial logics aimed at reducing the number of jobseekers (Bajoit, 2005 ; Zwick Monney, 2015b) and more humanistic values herited from the social sector, which are better to take account of the singularity of jobseekers situations (Brégéon, 2008). In this particular context, how do RSA advisors/referents exercise and represente their professional role? Some RSA advisors/referents, for example, are more likely to adapt their practices to institutional prescriptions on employability. Others are more likely to seek a certain flexibility to take account of the specific situations of the people they support. Inscribed in a psychosocial perspective, the thesis aims to describe and account for the variability of guidance practices through the role orientation of RSA advisors/referents. With reference to the theoretical model of plural and active socialization (Baubion-Broye and al., 2013 ; Malrieu, 1989),we postulate hat the orientation of the professional role of these advisors/referents does not depend in a linear way based on institutional prescriptions, but is the result of a complex subjective activity - of intersignification - putting into perspective values, representations of self, others and work, which can sometimes be coherent with each other, or sometimes competing and a source of intrapersonal conflicts. This activity - not free from doubts and questioning - gives rise to a role orientation specific to each advisor. To account for this variability, we have developed a mixed methodology that articulates two empirical strands : an exploratory qualitative study and an extensive study. The qualitative exploratory study consists of semi-structured interviews with 12 RSA referents. A double analysis of the interviews - thematic and lexicometric via AlcesteEducation2018 - shows two predominant professional role orientations among RSA referents. An extensive questionnaire survey of 211 RSA advisors/referents showed that RSA advisors/referents are either involved in a conflictual dynamic in the orientation of their professional role, or in a dynamic of recognition of the orientation of this role. Both studies show a population that is mostly comfortable in their orientation in its professional role but that develops concerns for the future of its sector

Williams, Michael Ray. "Navigating Conflicts Between Religious and Professional Values: Psychologists' Experiences." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2018. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/6933.
Abstract:
The issue of psychotherapists' values in psychotherapy has become increasingly challenging as philosophers have questioned the viability of concepts such as objectivity and relativism. Historically, psychotherapists have relied on notions such as bracketing or suspending their own values to avoid the moral and ethical implications that such values might be active in psychotherapy. Acknowledging that psychotherapists' values are active in psychotherapy raises a host of important issues, including how to appropriately navigate value conflicts. This study explored the experience of psychotherapists as they navigate conflicts between their religious and professional values. Qualitative interviews with eight religiously committed psychologists were transcribed and analyzed using Collaborative Hermeneutic Interpretation. Major themes and findings include: the possibility that one can be a religiously committed psychologist; that research topics are informed by religious values; the strengthening of personal values through conflict; there are a variety of values gained from religious affiliation; feeling out of place in religious and professional communities; having religious and philosophical issues broadened and deepened in complexity; knowing when to defend values and worldview; having quality research and reputation as a defense; and positive and negative experiences with supervisors. Participants also discussed what was helpful in preparing them for value conflicts and the preparation they wished they would have received. The findings in this study emphasize the importance of the supervisory relationship and the impact that supervisors can have on trainees as they work through value conflicts. Training programs are also recommended to provide trainees guidance that will help prepare them to navigate potential value conflicts over the course of their professional development.

Abstract:
Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le cadre d'une sociolinguistique interpersonnelle et s'intéresse à la construction dynamique de la personne, à travers les symbolisations verbales qu'elle produit, dans un milieu pluriculturel et plurilingue. Elle se situe à la croisée d'une science des sujets, encore à construire, et d'une socio-pragmatique, sans refuser d'emprunter à la psychologie sociale ses concepts les plus utiles. S'il nous fallait définir de manière plus précise le cadre épistémologique qui est le nôtre, nous dirions qu'il s'apparente à une sociolinguistique du conflit structurant dans les relations interpersonnelles des sujets. La parole construit l'individu ou, plutôt pourrait-on dire, que la personne se construit par la parole et dans l'altérité. Ainsi mêlons-nous ici la linguistique pragmatique à toutes les disciplines qui se sont intéressées à la construction identitaire. Par cet apport transdisciplinaire nous mettons en évidence la complexité d'une thématique incluant un sujet, lui-même complexe et indivisible intégrant la langue et la personne. Nous nous intéressons plus spécifiquement à l'usage des langues dans une situation de conflit structurant (avec l'autre, avec soi) et à celui de la médiation langagière dans ce milieu tensionnel de la personne face à un autrui déstabilisant. Notre outil privilégié dans le cadre de cette recherche se trouve être l'analyse textuelle (textes issus de la transcription d'entretiens) dont nous redéfinissons les contours et pour laquelle nous proposons un outil de compréhension. Ce travail est fait d'un va et vient constant entre théorie et pratique. Nous pensons, en effet, que ces deux mouvements s'enrichissent mutuellement. Si la connaissance de notre objet est un des objectifs de notre thèse, nous visons aussi à élaborer et tester des outils épistémologiques, méthodologiques, transférables dans d'autres situations. Nous souhaitons ainsi montrer dans cette recherche que la personne se construit de manière dynamique dans l'entre-deux du dire et de l'action, au hasard des rencontres et des identifications partielles. Ce qui fait d'elle un être toujours singulier pris dans les affects, les représentations, dans des discours aux significations multiples qui la fondent symboliquement.

Trimingham, Rhoda L. "An exploration of the roles values play in design decision-making." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2007. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/7975.
Abstract:
The overall aim of the thesis is to explore the role of values within design decision-making. The research is carried out within a context of sustainable design, specifically the use of recycled materials. The literature and pilot studies highlighted the nature and role of values in design decision-making. These include the observation that stakeholder values are different from societal values, that designers have an internal perception of external values (or that they make decisions 'on behalf of external influences), and that designers use 'meta-values' (a sub-set of internal values) to organise their activity. The main body of the research includes a series of nine case studies using retrospective interviews and concurrent verbalisation and protocol analysis. Previous research suggested that a designer's values can be researched through looking at their visual representations. This was investigated through an analysis of participants design work. A taxonomy was explored and evidence sought to validate the categories of values influencing industrial design decision-making. Key findings show that values embedded in design, initially considered an external value, could also be an internal value, as designers use these principles to embed value into their designs. It was also found that the choice to be influenced by one set of values and not another, can differ from project to project. The changing role of values in relation to design expertise was explored and, in contradiction to the prior art, there was little evidence that distinguished the influence of values between novices and experts. A primary research output is the development of a new taxonomy, which divides the values influencing industrial design decision-making into external values and internal values. (Continues...).

Renda, Kadri. "Discursive change in Turkish strategic culture : changing narratives, roles and values." Thesis, King's College London (University of London), 2013. https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/en/theses/discursive-change-in-turkish-strategic-culture-changing-narratives-roles-and-values(28e58da8-02ed-4412-85bf-e056b5c5395d).html.
Abstract:
This thesis is devoted to analysing change in Turkish strategic culture, which is conceptualized as change in narratives. In the mainstream literature it has been customary to provide explanations about the change in Turkish foreign policy by applying existing theories which focus on the ideological differences between Kemalism, Islamism and Liberalism or the implications of democratization and globalization for Turkish society, economy and politics. This thesis proposes a different framework based on the discursive practices of the Turkish foreign policy elite in the form of narratives. The main research question is: What sorts of narratives regarding national defence and security have been produced by the AKP elite to challenge the dominant national security state narratives? It is the overarching argument in this thesis that within the emerging Turkish strategic culture the Ottoman past is neither seen as a distant past nor a temporal other; Turkey’s geography and neighbourhood is neither a liability nor a spatial other; and concepts and values such as soft power and the promotion of democratic values is no longer considered as naive nor alien by the Turkish state elite. This thesis suggests that three contested narratives can be found within Turkish strategic culture. Among these narratives, the thesis identifies the emergence of two new narratives which challenge a hitherto dominant master narrative, i.e. the national security state master narrative. These two counter-narratives are i) Turkey as a "great country" that is able to address foreign policy issues with a renewed self-esteem that stems from the nostalgic utilization of its historical and cultural assets; and ii) Turkey as an "internationally active player" that aspires to contribute to the international system by playing a new international role and by aligning itself with universal norms and values. By extending the analysis of Turkish strategic culture to the field of narratives and narrative analysis this study demonstrates that Turkish strategic culture is no longer a strategic culture of a national security state or a flank state or a middle power, it is rather constructed within the narratives of the Turkish state elite, which is primarily built upon the overarching narratives of great country and internationally active player. Contrary to the ideology-centred explanations and paradigm shift arguments about the change in Turkish foreign policy, the approach suggested in this thesis provides rather complex, yet arguably more nuanced and comprehensive explanation than the ones on offer in the literature. Lastly, by taking master narratives and counter narratives as the units of analysis to understand the cultural change, this thesis also contributes to the literature on strategic culture by illustrating the role of agency and their practices of challenging dominant narratives by producing counter-narratives.

Wilde, Shannon Vincent. "Value Conflicts in Psychotherapy: Psychology Graduates' Perspectives." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2008. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/1653.
Abstract:
Although psychotherapy has been viewed historically as value-neutral, developments over the last half-century have led to the generally accepted position that values are inescapable in therapy. However, many questions remain as to how values should be managed in psychotherapy in order to protect client autonomy. These issues are of particular concern to training programs, which bear the responsibility of instructing new psychologists in ethical values management and of helping trainees manage personal values when those values are in conflict with those of their clients or with the values of the field in general. One aspect that has not previously been investigated is the perceptions of trainees around value-related issues. This study used qualitative research methods to investigate the perceptions of recent psychology graduates regarding the role of values, value management strategies, training in value-related areas, and the resolution of value-related dilemmas. Seventeen recent graduates from Counseling Psychology, Clinical Psychology, or Professional Psychology doctoral programs were interviewed. Their responses led to following nine themes: 1. Psychology graduates disagreed about appropriate roles for therapist values. 2. Value differences between therapist and client were seen as both potentially harmful and potentially helpful. 3. Participants reported using different strategies to manage value differences. 4. Most participants felt it might be acceptable to influence a client to change their values in certain situations. 5. Participants did not report preferences regarding the value similarity of their clients and reported varying reactions to value differences. 6. Participants disagreed on whether trainees should be required to see clients with very different values. 7. Participants generally felt positive about their training experiences, but recommended more practical instruction in values management. 8. Participants' experiences with race and religion suggested unique training concerns. 9. Value-related decisions were seen as contextually grounded and based primarily on perceptions of beneficence. It is hoped that these findings further the dialogue on appropriate value management strategies in therapy and assist training programs in evaluating the training they provide students in areas of value differences and value conflicts.

Andersen, Alexander, and Ludvig Brewitz. "Collaboration within Supply Chains : Can conflicts be attributed to the different roles of logistics companies?" Thesis, Internationella Handelshögskolan, Högskolan i Jönköping, IHH, Centre of Logistics and Supply Chain Management (CeLS), 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-30259.
Abstract:
Introduction – Supply chains increase in size and complexity, more actors are becoming involved and an increased collaboration among actors are a necessity. Still, undesired conflicts occurs and are unavoidable in a collaboration. There are ways to reduce the negative effects and improve management of conflicts provided by previous researchers focus on conflicts and conflict management in general. However, this thesis emphazises on investigating what conflicts that occur within different collaboration setups that can be attributed to the type of logistics company involved. Therefore, the following purpose is stated: Investigate what types of conflicts occurring during collaboration that can be attributed to the different roles of 3PL and 4PL companies. Methodology – To answer the purpose a single case study was conducted which involved a focal firm and its collaboration with two different logistics companies (a 3PL and a 4PL) within the same economical climate. Due to the uniqeness of the case, a multiple methods qualitative study was performed and to strengthen the validity of the data collected both documantary analysis as well as semi-structured interviews were conducted. Respondents were handpicked based on knowledge of both collaboration setups, to ensure quality of the data collected. Gathered data were sumarized and categorized using Mamad and Chahdi (2013) conflict factors, and later analyzed to accurately detect key points to generate a result and answer the research questions. Result – To summarize the result, findings of what we discovered through our data analysis generated similarites and differences in conflicts occurred within both collaboration setups. These conflicts are linked to Mamad and Chahdi (2013) conflicts factors regarding collaboration among actors, in order to clarify why and which conflict area these conflicts occurred in. Analysis – From the conflicts identified in the result, further analysis were conducted. Where, previous literature regarding logistics companies (3pl and 4PL) were applied in order to enable attribution of conflicts to company types. Conclusion – Through the analysis, many conflicts that occured are based on factors such as operational structure, problem solving and company policies which are not affected by the company type. However, three conflicts and problem areas can be connected to be generally more common either with 3PL companies or 4PL companies. The first lies within the commitment area where 3PL companies can generally be seen as less committed. The second area is communication were important information were more often late due to passing through more actors, causing more conflicts when collaborating with a 4PL. The last problem area were within formalization where findings suggests that there are conflicts caused by 4PLs using several carriers which causes problems such as varying regulations and truck dimensions from carriers.

Mweshi, John. "Environmental conflict resolution: a critical analysis of the role of interests and value." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/55842.
Abstract:
This thesis intends to contribute to an enhanced understanding of environmental conflicts and their resolution. To accomplish this task the thesis will ascertain the role that value and interests play in environmental conflicts in order to establish an adequate basis upon which they can be resolved. In the process, the thesis will also examine three different approaches, namely, the Standard Approach; the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) framework; and the Structured Decision Making (SDM) approach. First, the standard approach is informed by the understanding that focusing on interests instead of human values makes the resolution of conflicts more tractable. In contrast, this thesis argues that an exclusive focus on interests, in the context of environmental conflict resolution, is inadequate in some important respects because there are other factors to be considered such as the environmental impacts at the root of the conflict. Second, the thesis examines the focus on impacts that characterises EIAs. It argues that this approach remedies the limitations of the standard approach insofar as impacts are understood in terms of object value. However, the EIA approach does not provide much guidance on how to deal with conflicting human values. Third, taking into account the fact that the standard approach does not address the question of object value, while the EIA addresses object value but does not deal directly with human values, the thesis examines the SDM approach to environmental risk decisions. The thesis argues that while the SDM approach claims to deal with conflicts involving human values head-on, it does not provide a viable alternative in terms of environmental conflict resolution. This is because it fails to recognise the key distinction between human values and object value despite acknowledging the presence of multiple value dimensions as a major obstacle to value trade-offs and therefore to the resolution of value conflicts. Finally, the thesis recommends an adequate basis upon which environmental conflicts can be resolved.

Abstract:
My study was conducted to provide a deeper understanding of the identity of employee soldiers in the armed forces and their experience of their role in the military context. To describe and identify the soldier's identity formation, values and norms working in group processes are taken into account. As the individual identifies her or himself whit the group, the various phenomena as hostility to other military groups arise. The individuals weld together with other group members to form strong normative relationships within the group. Through a qualitative research approach eight soldiers in a regiment in western Sweden were interviewed, four of them were group executives or deputy group leaders and others were ordinary soldiers. The interviews were interpreted based on the symbolic interactionistic theory; Mead and Goffman. The results of this study indicate that soldiers are working largely based on non-monetary reasons and that varied tasks, the salary and career are do not primarily matters. The team spirit is strong, contrary to the perceived problems of the military organization. Despite a lot of commuting to and from their daily lives, the soldiers see their job as very important and stimulating. The respondents appear to such a great extent be shaped by their work situation that this noticeably affects them in their civilian identity work.

Holecek, Megan Elizabeth. "The roles of values in discounting the use of plastic bags and harming ocean animals." OpenSIUC, 2019. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/theses/2554.
Abstract:
A delay discounting survey was provided to 30 participants to assess hypothetical choices. Each question provided choices between using a complementary plastic bag and harming an ocean animal or purchasing a reusable bag and not harming an ocean animal. Participants were randomly assigned to complete a control or values-based activity. The values-based activity utilized Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to assist in identifying participants’ values and committed actions, whereas the control activity included a word association game. Discounting scores were calculated across delay discounting surveys conducted pre- and post-activity completion. The purpose of the study was to assess relationships between completion of activities (values-based or control) and discounting scores on items pertaining to environmental sustainability. Implications, limitations, and future directions are provided and discussed

Abstract:
Bonus and commission schemes are common practice among firms as an incentive for the salesforce. Despite the growing body of literature on value co-creation and the practical relevance, it remains unknown how these management tools relate to each other. There is a gap in research on conflict theory but it is argued that they derive from a paradox. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of bonus and commission schemes and the potential tensions and conflicts that are caused by different paradoxes. It shows an exploration of how these paradoxes connect to value co-creation in car dealerships from a salesforce perspective. A theoretical framework is established to review the available literature. We have conducted six in-depth interviews to pursue rich qualitative data to fully grasp the dynamics of the dealership. We have found results that indicate a number of paradoxes that exist in the dealerships. We discuss that the variety of paradoxes bring tensions and conflicts forward, but also that some of the paradoxes are harmless. We also find that our respondents implicitly support value co-creation and that long-term relationships are essential. In our discussion a model is presented to present an overview.

Dayrit-Sison, Marianne, and not supplied. "Exploring the roles of Australian communication practitioners in organizational value setting : agents of conscience, control, and/or compliance?" RMIT University. Applied Communication, 2007. http://adt.lib.rmit.edu.au/adt/public/adt-VIT20080208.143226.
Abstract:
This study examined whether Australian public relations and communication practitioners enact an organizational conscience role through their involvement in the organizational value-setting process. Thirty communication practitioners from 26 large organizations in Melbourne and Sydney were interviewed between May 2004 and May 2005 to ascertain and discuss their involvement in organizational value setting. Using semi-structured in-depth interviews to gather data and then applying a multiple perspective approach in its thematic data analysis, the research found that most respondents were involved in organizational value setting albeit at different stages of the process. In analysing the nature of the respondent's involvement in the process along with individual and organizational factors, three roles emerged namely, the agent of critical conscience, the agent of concertive control, and the agent of corporate compliance. However the results suggest that most respond ents enacted primarily the concertive control and corporate compliance agency roles. The study also found that the predominant managerial/functionalist perspective constrains practitioners from enacting the conscience leadership role. In exploring the practitioners' ability to influence organizational members, findings support recent studies that membership in the dominant coalition does not necessarily give public relations/communication practitioners power and influence. Rather, direct access to the CEO, expertise, performance and personality were found to be the key ingredients to the individual communication practitioners' organizational influence. Findings also reveal that public relations/communication practitioners preferred to participate but not drive the organizational value-setting process. In using a multiple perspective approach to study public relations roles, this study provides empirical basis for identifying potential leadership roles for public relations/communication practitioners and for suggesting an extension of the manager-technician role typology. The study calls for public relations/communication practitioners to enact a critical conscience agent role as part of finding a meaningful, ethical and socially responsible practice. This study proposes that critical thought and dialectical inquiry be embedded within the public relations/communication practitioner's role and public relations education.

Holden, Amy Elizabeth. "The roles of cultural values in landscape management : valuing the 'more-than-visual' in Highland Scotland." Thesis, University of Dundee, 2016. https://discovery.dundee.ac.uk/en/studentTheses/58c2c36b-689e-4e4e-b1c4-e963543b0daf.
Abstract:
There have been calls within landscape (and broader environmental) policy for the greater incorporation of cultural values and stakeholder participation. This, however, has often been critiqued within the academic literature as being difficult to achieve in practice. Concurrently, academic research around ‘landscape’ has seen an emergence of exploring more embodied, experiential and ‘more-than-visual’ ways of knowing, challenging the more traditional concept of ‘landscape’ as a ‘way of seeing’ and a cultural product. This research explored the multiple ways that people value landscapes using walking interviews, arts-based methods and key-informant interviews (with local and national landscape managers). It explored the potential of visual and ‘more-than-visual’ methods to both engage and articulate with more subjective, emotional and embodied encounters with landscapes. This was then used to explore the potential and challenges of adopting cultural and more participative approaches to landscape management. After an initial analysis of the data gathered through the methods, this was then used as part of feedback events within the two case study areas to allow the participants of the research and the broader local community to engage with the work. This research argues that ‘landscape’ as a concept, when approached from a ‘more-than-visual’ perspective, highlighted that the inherently visual concept is bound up within a much broader sensory immersion within the landscape. The research demonstrated the complex and interconnected relationship between people and the landscape through the concept of ‘dwelling’ emphasising the lived-in, everyday encounters with landscape. This relationship is tied up within past individual experiences, shared social and cultural history as well as the material landscape itself arguing for a more ‘hybrid’ understanding of people and landscape. Furthermore, the research highlighted both the potential and challenges of participative approaches with multiple landscape stakeholders and challenges the ‘homogenous’ perspective of ‘community’ within management rhetoric. There is an argument for more partnership working between multiple stakeholders to generate trust and dialogue. It argues for the creation of spaces within which the more politically sensitive issues in relation to landscape management can be discussed and the potential for solutions to be created.

Abstract:
The aim of this research was to explore the social construction of intellectual disability and to increase the power of people with intellectual disabilities in the research process. Informed by a contextualist perspective, this research was conducted within a participatory framework. Causal layered analysis was used to deconstruct the data revealing a complex dynamic of worldviews and mythologies which served to dehumanise people with intellectual disabilities and blame them for their own fate (victim blaming).

Abstract:
The New Zealand news media have covered Iraq War II extensively, and from different perspectives, shaped by reporting restrictions, public opinion and editorial policies of the media organisations. This thesis studies New Zealand's three largest daily newspapers' coverage during the invasion phase of the war exploring their reliance on global news agencies such as Reuters, AFP and AP and on elite British and US newspapers. The research also aims to explore the newspapers' dependence on global news agencies and other content providers and the extent of US and Coalition domination of the news agenda. Global news media, including mainstream news agencies which mostly rely on government and military officials for information on military conflicts such as Iraq War II, become channels for propaganda and facilitate elite sources to set the agenda for national and global audiences. A content analysis of the three daily newspapers - The New Zealand Herald, The Dominion Post and The Press - reveals that the war coverage in New Zealand was framed by international news agencies, US and UK newspapers. And their reliance on US and Coalition official sources in the news construction meant that they became vehicles for propaganda. The mainstream New Zealand newspapers' coverage of Iraq War II is examined through the contexts of globalisation, news flows, media-source relations, news management and propaganda as these are the issues that have shaped the war journalism discourse in New Zealand. As there have not been many studies in New Zealand of news media coverage of wars, this research is an opportunity for studying mainstream newspapers of a country that is not a direct participant in the war. It gives the opportunity to compare reporting by newspapers in a country not directly involved in Iraq War II with that of countries that are directly involved. What emerges from this study is that the level of involvement in a war is no longer the most important factor in determining the direction of news media coverage. News values, globalisation, economic interdependence, news flows and propaganda are all highly significant factors affecting coverage. This thesis shows that the US military and government sources dominated the news agenda through various media management strategies. The findings of this research also demonstrate the dominance of the global news agencies and US and UK publications as main content providers in the war coverage. The implication of this is that the few Western media outlets are able to set the news agenda for news retailers such as New Zealand newspapers, and their readers.

Abstract:
This study investigated the effects of family structure on Italian grandmothers' perceptions of their level of involvement, role conceptualizations and their positions on common familial issues. The sample consisted of Italian grandmothers from two groups of families: intact families (N = 30) in which grandmothers' adult children were in first marriages; and divorced families (N = 23) in which grandmothers' adult children were permanently separated or divorced. Level of involvement was operationalized in terms of contact, specifically frequency of visitation and telephone calls, between a grandparent and a grandchild. Variables that have been found to influence contact (a grandparent's custodial and kinship relationships, geographic distance, age of both grandparent and grandchild, and grandparent-parent accord) were also assessed. A grandparent's role within the family was operationalized in terms of their level of agreement to statements made by grandparents about their roles as involved family members, special protectors of grandchildren, available family members, conveyers of cultural traditions, and family "watchdogs". A grandparent's view with respect to contemporary family issues was assessed through their responses to statements about contemporary family life. The results indicate that contact was significantly greater between grandmothers and grandchildren in the intact as opposed to the divorced group. Grandmothers' roles within the family as well as their attitudes towards various family issues were not found to differ across family type. The findings were discussed in light of cultural and ethnic perspectives on divorce.

Abstract:
The Swedish state and educational system are secular, so to say they do not depend on the former protestant state church anymore. Many people in Sweden are also secular. Even so, in school teachers meet students with a religious faith. The purpose of this study is to examine how teachers without a religious belonging experience the encounter with religious students. The method used was semistructured interviews with five teachers in a upper secondary school in a multicultural suburb of Stockholm. In this school, most students have a religious faith and the majority are Muslims or Christians. The prevalent discourses about religion and secularism in Sweden today are found through the teachers speech about the teachers and the students living in two different worlds. The dichotomy is more clearly expressed by the less religious teachers. The meaning of the double assignment of the curriculum is interpreted differently by the different teachers and the teachers have experienced conflicts of values regarding the following subjects: freedom of speech, sexuality (including homosexuality and gender equality), antisemitism and intolerance. The teachers use discussions and debates to handle the conflicts. In their statements, the teachers place the conflicts of value in a public sphere, not in an individual, which means they do not hesitate to act against unscientific approaches and/or antidemocratic views. Thus, the conflicts of values can be used as tools to foster democracy, tolerance and human rights. The teachers believe that they have the assignment to change the students religiously anchored values, but not to influence them to become secular.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the EU approach to the question of the legitimacy of criminal law. In particular, it enquires into what theoretical justifications does the EU legal order acknowledges as legitimating the resort to harmonized criminal law as a regulatory instrument. Moreover, it enquires if the selected approach is consistent with the identity the EU has set for itself, as a ‘fundamental rights sensitive’ kind of supranational organization, as established at Article 2 TEU, which includes the respect of fundamental rights as one of EU founding values. This research aims at complementing the existing literature theorising on harmonisation of substantive criminal law as a strategy for integration, which has to date primarily focused on the extent of the EU competences, and on the relation between harmonisation and other strategies of integration, such as mutual recognition. The aspect of the impact of the exercise of these EU competences on individuals and of what are the envisaged justifications for that has been to date underexplored. This thesis aims at filling this gap. In doing so it aims at contributing to the systemic understanding of EU criminal law testing its developments against a EU constitutional law benchmark. In terms of methodology, the thesis relies on a criminal legal theory framework, which distinguishes between a normative, value-based approach to the justifications for criminal law, and an instrumental, mainly enforcement-based approach. It tailors these concepts to the supranational level, by combining criminalisation theory concepts with theories on harmonisation. In terms of sources, when enquiring the EU approach to the criminal law, the thesis looks at EU primary law (principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, and EU competences to harmonise substantive criminal law); EU policy documents (multi-annual programs and ad hoc EU criminalisation policy documents) and EU secondary law (especially the Racism and Xenophobia Framework Decision on Racism and Xenophobia and on the 2014 Market Abuse Directive).In terms of structure, the thesis devotes the first two chapters to the delineation of the theoretical framework, discussing criminal legal theories on the subject of of the legitimacy of criminal law, and theories on harmonisation of criminal norms. This part is aimed at identifying the analytical tools through which EU primary law, EU secondary law and EU policy documents are analysed in the following 5 chapters. A final chapter draws the relevant conclusions as to the consistency of the EU approach to the legitimacy of criminal law with the EU constitutional law framework. The findings of the thesis illustrate how the EU has not been consistent in its approach to the legitimacy of EU criminal law and it identifies a number of micro-ruptures between the approach in different historical phases; but also between different layers (EU primary and secondary law as well as policy documents) during the same period; and between different policy areas (e.g. EU criminal law was used to protect the security of EU citizens, and when to secure the achievement of EU policies). The thesis nonetheless identifies a macro-synchrony, which sees an historical progressive acknowledgement of a normative approach in a previously pre-existing instrumental context. This progress was positively evaluated as it contributed to increase the coherence of EU criminal law with EU constitutional law benchmarks.Doctorat en Sciences juridiques

Abstract:
News values are used by journalists to construct events and news actors as newsworthy.The present study investigates the use of news values in the reporting on two territorial disputes, one between China and Japan (Diaoyu/Senkaku) and one between Japan and South Korea (Dokdo/Takeshima), in the US news outlets CNN, FOX News and the Washington Post. In addition, it also examines what news values tend to be associated with the involved parties, US-allies Japan and South Korea, and US non-allies China, as well as to what extent the news values associated with Japan differ between the reporting on the two disputes. This is done through a Discursive News Values Analysis (DNVA) which examines how news values are construed using linguistic resources. The aim is to produce new insights into how international conflicts are reported on, and how certain nations are made newsworthy in US media. The results suggest that the news values of Eliteness, Negativity, Superlativeness and Timeliness were foregrounded in the reporting on both disputes, while Proximity was far more common in the Diaoyu/Senkaku dispute articles. Eliteness and Personalisation were commonly associated with US allies while a combination of Superlativeness and Negativity was more common with US non-allies, which resulted in Negativity being further emphasised. Finally, Proximity was far more commonly associated with Japan in the Diaoyu/Senkaku dispute articles compared to the Dokdo/Takeshima dispute articles. Thus, the analysis shows that US allies tend to be constructed as newsworthy in a more positive light than non-allies, and it also indicates that nations defending a contested area in a territorial dispute appear to be framed more positively than their counterparts.

Abstract:
The finding of a positive relationship between a set of well-configured commitment human resources practices and performance outcomes at multiple levels of an organization is a well-documented in the strategic human resource management (HRM) literature (e.g., Combs, Lui, Hall, and Ketchen, 2006; Kehoe and Wright, 2013). However, several recent empirical studies (e.g., Liao, Toya, Lepak, and Hong, 2009) find a significant gap between the HR practices organizations report they use and the HR practices employees report they experienced. These more recent findings call into question the extent to which formal HR programs reported by organizational leaders are actually understood and implemented by lower level managers. To the extent that formal HR programs are not fully implemented as intended suggests many organizations may not be getting the full benefits from their HR program investments. The present study addresses this issue by focusing on the problem of HR practices implementation. Drawing on attribution theory, I examine how frontline managers (FLMs) and employees recognize, interpret, and react to commitment HR practices adopted by their organization. Additionally, I tested the influence of the self-transcendence values of FLMs and employees on their attributional processes. In doing so, three models (frontline manager, employee, and multi-level models) were proposed and the hypotheses based on these models were tested.
Data collected from 195 employees nested in 61 workgroups provided mixed support for the hypothesized relationships. In the frontline manager, tests of hypotheses revealed that FLMs' awareness of commitment HR programs affected their commitment HR attributions and implementation of commitment HR practices. The employee model showed that employees' awareness of commitment HR practices influenced their commitment HR attributions and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). However self-transcendence was not a significant moderator in both models. Finally, the multi-level model suggested that FLMs' implementation of commitment HR practices is a significant predictor of employees' commitment HR attributions. The findings contribute to the strategic HRM literature by demonstrating how organizations can implement commitment HR practices to attain unrealized potential benefits of commitment HR practices. The failure to demonstrate the moderating effect of self-transcendence values on attributional process of commitment HR practices presents a continued challenge for future research.Ph. D.

Vuletich, Clara. "Transitionary textiles : a craft-based journey of textile design practice towards new values and roles for a sustainable fashion industry." Thesis, University of the Arts London, 2015. http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/12402/.
Abstract:
The current fashion textiles industry is based on an outdated, exploitative system that encourages fast consumption, generates huge amounts of textile waste, creates toxic impacts to ecosystems and causes significant social impacts to production workers. The move towards a more sustainable industry is a complex challenge and will be based on circular and social systems that prioritise values, collaboration and empathy for the environment and all stakeholders. This research defines the move towards a more sustainable fashion textiles industry as a transition that operates across environmental, social, and human domains. At the human level, the transition is an emergent process that involves both ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ dimensions (Maiteny & Reed 1988). For fashion textile designers, this process will demand new ways to practice and engage with the sustainability agenda, including the ‘outer’ dimensions of better materials or more ethical production models; and the ‘inner’, reflective dimensions of values and the self. This research proposes new roles for designers in these transitionary contexts, through craft-based fashion textile design practice. The practice projects presented in the thesis demonstrate three new roles that evolve through the sustainable design continuum to the highest level of Design for Social Equity (Manzini & Vezzoli 2008), where designers will support all stakeholders towards systemic, sustainable change. The practice projects reveal a collaborative and inter-disciplinary approach to fashion textile design practice in industry, local communities and the global supply chain. The research draws on a range of literature from sustainability theory, design/craft thinking, and psychology. The mixed methodology includes an action–research phase of collaborative practice projects, facilitation of workshops with designers in industry, and a reflective phase of textile making and writing. A model for the Transitionary Textile Designer is presented as a final outcome. In order for fashion textile designers to practice in transitionary contexts ‘beyond the swatch’, the research presents new methods and tools to connect individual values to social values inherent in the transition towards sustainability.

The present dissertation aims to analyze if personality traits and human values predict strategies for solving marital conflicts. Specifically, we sought to verify the influence of sociodemographic variables on strategies for resolving marital conflicts; to identify the relation between the personality traits, the value subfunctions and the strategies of resolution of the marital conflicts; In addition to knowing the extent to which personality traits and human values explain conflict resolution strategies. A total of 252 married people from the city of Joao Pessoa (PB), 57.1% female, with an average age of 38 years (SD = 10.87), officially married (68.9%), union time greater than 10 years (51.0%). They answered the Conflict Resolution Behavior Questionnaire, the Basic Values Questionnaire, the Inventory of the Five Great Personality Factors, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The SPSS program was used to perform the descriptive analyzes, the MANOVA's, the correlations (Pearson r) and the Multiple Linear Regressions (stepwise method). The results showed that the strategies for resolving marital conflicts were statistically significant for the gender variables [λ = .94, F (3. 245) = 5.60, p < .001, η² = .06], with women scoring in attack [F (1. 249) = 4.90, p = .03] and the men in avoidance [F (1.249) = 5.13, p = .02; η² = 0.06] ; day of work / daily [λ = .94, F (3. 169) = 3.77, p = .01], the spouses who worked up to 8 hours scored more on avoidance [F (1.173) = 6.59, p = .01]; and, marital status [λ = .96, F (3. 245) = 3.47, p = .02, η² = .04], people living together (cohabitation) scored more in attack [F (1. 249) = 9.76, p = < .01), besides, negative and significant correlations were observed between professional service time and attack (r = -.17, p < .05) and Level of religiosity and avoidance (r = -.13, p = .03). About the correlations between the constructs, it was observed that in relation to the compromise strategy, it was positively and significantly correlated with personality traits openness to experience (r = .18, p < .01), conscientiousness (r = .20; p < .01), extroversion (r = .18, p < .01), agreeableness (r = .24; p < .01) and negatively with neuroticism (r = -.15; p < .05). The attack strategy correlated positively and significantly with neuroticism (r = .37, p < .01) and negative with agreeableness (r = -.22, p < .01). However, the avoidance strategy correlated negatively and significantly only with agreeableness (r = -.23, p <.01). Regarding the value sub-functions, there was a positive and significant correlation between compromise strategy and supra-personal (r = .18, p < .01) and interactive sub-functions (r = .13, p < .05 ). When performing the linear regressions, it was observed that the attack strategy was predicted by personality traits neuroticism (β = .35, p < .001) and agreeableness (β = -.19, p = .001); Since avoidance was predicted by the agreeableness trait (β = -.23, p < .001); And the compromise strategy was predicted by traits agreeableness (β = .19, p < .05), openness to experience (β = .14, p = .03) and neuroticism (β = -.15 , p = .01), in addition to supra-personal sub-function (β = .18, p = .004). Thus, it is concluded that personality traits and human values, as well as sociodemographic variables, influence the adoption of strategies for resolving marital conflicts. This fact suggests the application of these results in clinical contexts aimed at minimizing marital problems and offering a better marital quality.
A presente dissertação teve por objetivo analisar se os traços de personalidade e os valores humanos predizem as estratégias de resolução dos conflitos conjugais. Especificamente, buscou-se verificar a influência das variáveis sociodemográficas nas estratégias de resolução dos conflitos conjugais; identificar a relação entre os traços de personalidade, as subfunções valorativas e as estratégias de resolução dos conflitos conjugais; além de conhecer em que medida os traços de personalidade e os valores humanos explicariam as estratégias de resolução dos conflitos. Participaram 252 pessoas casadas da cidade de João Pessoa (PB), sendo 57,1% do sexo feminino, com idade média de 38 anos (DP = 10,87), casados oficialmente (68,9%), com tempo de união superior a 10 anos (51,0%). Estes responderam o Conflict Resolution Behavior Questionnaire, o Questionário dos Valores Básicos, o Inventário dos Cinco Grandes Fatores da Personalidade e um questionário sociodemográfico. Utilizou-se o programa SPSS para realizar as análises descritivas, as MANOVA´s, as correlações (r de Pearson) e as Regressões Lineares Múltiplas (método stepwise). Os resultados revelaram que as estratégias de resolução dos conflitos conjugais foram estatisticamente significativas para as variáveis sexo [λ= 0,94, F (3, 245) = 5,60, p < 0,001, η²= 0,06], tendo as mulheres pontuado mais ataque [F (1, 249) = 4,90, p = 0,03] e os homens em evitação [F (1, 249) = 5,13, p = 0,02, η²= 0,06]; jornada de trabalho/diária [λ= 0,94, F (3, 169) = 3,77, p = 0,01], os cônjuges que trabalhavam até 8 horas pontuaram mais em evitação [F (1, 173) = 6,59, p = 0,01]; e, estado civil [λ= 0,96, F (3, 245) = 3,47, p= 0,02, η²= 0,04], as pessoas que moravam juntas (coabitação) pontuaram mais em ataque [F (1, 249) = 9,76, p = < 0,01], além disso, foram observadas correlações negativas e significativas entre o tempo de serviço profissional e ataque (r = -0,17; p < 0,05) e o nível de religiosidade e evitação (r = -0,13; p = 0,03). Quanto às correlações entre os construtos, observou-se que com relação a estratégia acordo se correlacionou de forma positiva e significativa com os traços de personalidade abertura à experiência (r = 0,18; p < 0,01), conscienciosidade (r = 0,20; p < 0,01), extroversão (r = 0,18; p < 0,01) e amabilidade (r = 0,24; p < 0,01) e negativamente com o neuroticismo (r = -0,15; p < 0,05). A estratégia ataque se correlacionou de forma positiva e significativa com o neuroticismo (r = 0,37; p < 0,01) e negativa com amabilidade (r = -0,22; p < 0,01). Já a estratégia evitação se correlacionou de forma negativa e significativa apenas com amabilidade (r = -0,23; p < 0,01). No que concerne as subfunções valorativas, verificou-se correlação positiva e significativa apenas entre a estratégia acordo e as subfunções suprapessoal (r = 0,18; p < 0,01) e interativa (r = 0,13; p < 0,05). Ao realizar as regressões lineares, observou-se que a estratégia ataque foi predita pelos traços de personalidade neuroticismo (β = 0,35, p < 0,001) e amabilidade (β = -0,19, p = 0,001); já a evitação foi predita pelo traço amabilidade (β = -0,23, p < 0,001); e, a estratégia acordo foi predita pelos traços amabilidade (β = 0,19, p < 0,05), abertura à experiência (β = 0,14, p = 0,03) e o neuroticismo (β = -0,15, p = 0,01), além da subfunção suprapessoal (β = 0,18, p = 0,004). Desse modo, conclui-se que os traços de personalidade e os valores humanos, além das variáveis sociodemográficas, influenciam a adoção das estratégias de resolução dos conflitos conjugais.

Abstract:
Synen på skogens värden har förändrats från att mestadels beröra de konkretavaror som skogen bidrar med till att innefatta mer abstrakta värden. Skogarna blirviktigare ur fler aspekter och förvaltningen av den försvåras genom att den kanses om en privat, kollektiv och gemensam resurs. Syftet var att beskriva denskogliga förvaltarens roll i att samordna olika intressenters önskemål vidskogsvårdsåtgärder i tätortsnära skog. Fem skogsförvaltare från fyra slumpmässigtutvalda organisationer i Skåne intervjuades. För att öka eller bibehålla rekreationsvärden bör skötseln inrikta sig på att göraskogen tillgänglig, öppen och ljus samt att skapa variation. Inför åtgärdenanvändes deltagande planering i form av informationsblad som sattes upp kringavverkningsplatsen. Detta bidrog förmodligen till att få konflikter ellermotsättningar förekom i tätortsnära skogar. Brukandet bör ske med ett annat fokusän vid konventionellt skogsbruk för att gynna de sociala värdena och enförebyggande dialog bör hållas med intressenterna.

Resumo: Este trabalho, intitulado "Justiça Restaurativa na Escola: trabalhando as relações sociomorais", versa sobre a justiça restaurativa como uma proposta de resolução dos conflitos escolares. Relaciona os estilos de resolução de conflitos com os princípios de justiça restaurativa investigando como estes podem alicerçar a construção de ambientes sociomorais na escola de forma a possibilitarem a discussão e o fortalecimento de conceitos e valores morais que contribuam para a consolidação da cooperação entre alunos, para a construção da autonomia e para o combate à violência. Ele pertence à linha de pesquisa "Processos Formativos, Diferenças e Valores", do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade Estadual Paulista de Presidente Prudente e recebeu apoio financeiro da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo - FAPESP. O interesse por esta pesquisa partiu da constatação do aumento desenfreado das situações de violência vivenciadas pela escola; surgiu da nossa preocupação com uma possível crise de valores morais que possa ter desencadeado a banalização da violência na escola. Levando isso em conta, estabelecemos como objetivo principal deste trabalho verificar se a justiça restaurativa pode se apresentar como um instrumento positivo à resolução de conflitos e combate à violência escolar. Para isso, estudamos, em Psicologia, a teoria de Piaget sobre o desenvolvimento moral da criança. Tomamos como referencial, no campo da Justiça Restaurativa, o projeto "Justiça e Educação em Heliópolis e Guarulhos: parceria para a cidadania" que inseriu, no segundo semestre de 2006, nas escolas da rede pública de São Paulo (Heliópolis e Guarulhos), espaços, denominados Círculos Restaurativos...

It relates the different styles of conflicts resolution and the principles of restorative justice; at the same time, it investigates in what extend these can support the construction of socio-moral environments in school in order to allow discussion and provides the strengthening of concepts and moral values that contributes to consolidate cooperation among students, aiming autonomy and violence fighting. This study is part of the research line "Formative Process< Differences, Values", of the Post Graduation Program in Education of Science and Technology College of Universidade Estadual Paulista from Presidente Prudente. It was funded by Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo - FAPESP. The interest in this subject originated because it was found that violence in school has increased a lot. Thus, we worry that a possible crisis of moral values has initiated violence trivialization in school. Considering this, the main objective of this research is to verify if restorative justice can be a positive instrument in order to conflicts resolution and violence fighting. To do so, we studied in Psychology, Piaget's theory about children's moral development. Our referential in Restorative... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Abstract:
The aim of the project was to explore the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge amongst decision-makers involved in the management of red deer in Scotland. While research exists on the ecology of red deer habitat, no research exists that focuses on the relationship between the deer and the people responsible for their management. Therefore, this thesis is primarily qualitative research which aimed to explore the various aspects of red deer management in Scotland within the socio-ecological context in which it exists. There are numerous groups with interest in red deer management, however this research, due to scope and time restrictions, was limited to two primary groups, the individuals tasked with implementing policy and the practitioners who carry out culling. During the course of the project, under-researched topics surfaced, highlighting areas of practical and theoretical divergence between stakeholders. This thesis therefore aims to explore how differing views and perspectives of two of the key stakeholder groups – the estate-based practitioners (including stalkers, land-managers, and land-owners) and staff of governmental agencies – influence the management of red deer in Scotland. This research indicates that people with different roles hold different relationships with the deer, which affect management decisions and implementation at local, regional, and/or national level. As with other areas within conservation and wildlife management, this research indicates there is a disconnect between blanket governmental policy and site-specific needs, with a lack of inclusion of practitioner knowledge. Potential future research would include additional qualitative research to follow up some of the management issues raised by this research and formulate recommendations for changes to practice, followed by collection of quantitative data assessing the efficacy of interventions.

Abstract:
Šis darbas yra orientuotas šeimos ir darbo sferų derinimą, kuomet moteris dirba pamaininį darbą. Pagrindinis jo tikslas - išsiaiškinti, ar pavyksta suderinti šeimos ir darbo sferas, kuomet moteris dirba pamaininį darbą ir kokiu būdu tai daroma. Pagrindiniai uždaviniai, kuriuos bandoma įgyvendinti darbe, yra išanalizuoti šeimai palankią politiką, taikomą Europoje, pristatyti darbo ir šeimos vaidmenų derinimo modelius, atskleisti su šeimos ir darbo pareigų derinimu susijusias problemas bei ištirti, ar šeimose, kuriose moteris dirba pamaininį darbą, yra šeimos ir darbo pareigų derinimas ir kaip tai vyksta. Tai atlikti padeda kiekybinių tyrimų metodas – apklausa raštu, t.y. anketavimas.
Tyrimu buvo išsiaiškinta, kad moterys yra nepatenkintos dirbdamos pamaininį darbą, todėl yra susiduriama su inter – vaidmenų konfliktu, kuris rodo vieno arba kelių vaidmenų lūkesčių neatitikimą. Šiuo atveju konfliktai kyla dėl laiko, skiriamo šeimai stokos. Tačiau, kaip tyrimas atskleidžia, konfliktai sprendžiami atsakomybę už namų ūkį bei vaikų priežiūrą pasidalinant tarp moters ir vyro. Toks atsakomybės pasidalinimas rodo, kad derinant šeimos ir darbo sferas yra vadovaujamasi iš dalies sutampančių sričių modeliu (Jančaitytė, 2006)
Taip pat tyrimu buvo atskleista, kad moterys yra patenkints, kaip skirstosi namų bei vaikų priežiūros darbus tarpusavyje, kadangi jų sutuoktiniai/partneriai rodo iniciatyvą užsiimti minėtomis veiklomis. Toks atsakomybės pasidalinimas atskleidžia dedamas pastangas... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]This work is oriented family and work spheres approximation, when the woman works shift work. Its main purpose - to find out if they were to reconcile family and work spheres, where women working shift work and how it is done. The main challenges to attempt to implement the work is to analyze the family-friendly policies for Europe, the present work and family roles of coordination models, the disclosure of family and professional responsibilities relating to coordination problems and to investigate whether the families where women work shift work, a family and work function approximation and how it happens. This facilitates quantitative research method - written survey, ie questionnaire. The study has found that women are dissatisfied with their working shift work, so there is a inter - role conflict, which displays one or more role expectations of conformity. In this case, conflicts arise due to the time allocated to the family. However, as the study reveals, conflicts are solved responsibility for household and child care is shared between a woman and a man. Such a division of responsibility shows that combining work and family spheres is guided overlapping zone model (Jančaitytė, 2006) This study also revealed that women are happy with the way distinguish the home and child care work together because their spouses / partners showing the initiative to engage in those activities. Such a division of responsibility reveals efforts to adapt to each other creating movable two... [to full text]

Previous issue date: 2013-06-20The way in which people manage conflict in the organizational context has been researched, as well as the antecedents that influence the choice of style of management. This research aimed to identify the relationship between personal values and styles of conflict management, considering values as antecedents. Two dimensions of the poles of values were considered, based on the theory of Schwartz - Openness to Change versus Conservation and Self- Transcendence versus Self-Promotion - as well as four styles of conflict management - Domination, Evasion, Accommodation and Integration - included in the literature according to the theory of Rahim. In order to reach the goal, hypotheses were proposed, which involved the correlation between the values and the styles, as well as the prediction, considering values as independent variables and management styles as dependent ones. The research was characterized as descriptive and referred the quantitative method, by applying two data collection instruments: the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory (ROCI-II) and the scale of personal values (PVQ-21). The questionnaire was sent electronically to a non-random sample of 362 respondents from a multinational company in the automotive industry. The data were treated with techniques of correlation and multiple regression. The results indicated that some hypotheses were corroborated in full and others in part, because not all the poles of values became predictors, and some correlations between values and styles had reversed direction to that expected.
O modo pelo qual as pessoas gerenciam conflitos no contexto organizacional tem sido pesquisado, assim como os antecedentes que influenciam na escolha do estilo do gerenciamento. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar a relação entre valores pessoais e estilos de gerenciamento de conflitos, considerando valores como antecedentes. Foram consideradas as duas dimensões dos polos de valores com base na teoria de Schwartz Abertura a Mudança x Conservação e Autotranscendência x Autopromoção e quatro estilos de gerenciamento de conflitos Dominação, Evasão, Acomodação e Integração presentes na literatura segundo a teoria de Rahim. Para o alcance do objetivo foram propostas hipóteses envolvendo correlação entre os valores e os estilos, e predição, considerando valores como variável independente e estilos de gerenciamento como dependente. A pesquisa caracterizou-se como descritiva e utilizou o método quantitativo, por meio da aplicação de dois instrumentos de coleta de dados: o Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory (ROCI-II) e a escala de valores pessoais (PVQ-21). O questionário foi enviado eletronicamente a uma amostra não aleatória de 362 respondentes de uma empresa multinacional no ramo automobilístico. Os dados foram tratados com técnicas de correlação e regressão múltipla. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que parte das hipóteses foi corroborada integralmente, como no caso do estilo Dominação com os valores Autopromoção e Abertura à Mudança e outras parcialmente, como no estilo Integração com os valores Autopromoção e Conservação, isso porque não foram todos os polos de valores que revelaram-se como preditores, e algumas correlações entre valores e estilos apresentaram sentido invertido ao esperado.
