Повний текст джерелаWith the globalization Businesses are getting a lot of power and they are more influence companies in the society than before. Business malpractices have the potential to inflict enormous harm on individual, communities, and the environment; the demands from all stakeholders to be a business to behave ethically greatly have been increased at this time. Moreover, ethical infractions and abuses of power are presented in business and affect the corporations reputation and as well as societies. There are needs to be a call for responsible and sustainable corporate behaviour. This corporate behaviour can create a competitive advantage and will generate value, social and economical value. This thesis will be presented such an alternative approach. This thesis presents an approach of the new paradigm. It is an integration of the 3 dimensions: ethical, corporate social responsibility and sustainability that generate social and economical value. The social value is for present and future generations: when corporations are helping development communities, poverty reductions, increased standards of life and education, increasing the work conditions and possibilities of employ’s companies, communities and other stakeholders. Economical value has many benefits to a corporation such as: decrease reputation risk; access the competitions of financial market, fidelity with customers and employees, increase firm’s reputations, reductions of cost and others. This research will try to answer some questions such as: what is the business of business and what is its social responsibility? How this responsibility is applied in the field of finance? How this corporate social responsibility is measured? And does this CSR affects the share price value of a company? The methodology used is a review of literature about Business ethics, CSR, SRI, ethical rating, sustainable reports, model market, and events studies. A case study of the Italian Insurance Company: Generali Group is presented. In this case study, it will be analyzed: (1) The Generali ethical, CSR and sustainable compromise – The integration of these three dimensions- and (2) how this information on CSR affects Generali Insurance’s share price value. In order to measure the effects of the three dimensions –ethical/CSR/sustainable in share price, it is conducted an event study, which measure change in share prices based on the announcement of events. In that way, it is possible to determine if share prices that reflect firm’s financial performance are affected by public information of ethical, environmental, social and economical performance. Particularly, it will be measured the effect of Ethical/CSR/sustainable events of the Generali Group Insurance group in its share prices. Moreover, for this reach, it was consulted available information on the web side and sustainable reports regarding to Generali Group ethical/CSR/sustainable compromise. Additionally some informal meetings were taken place with, the Director of Sustainable Department in Generali Insurance Company in Trieste, Marina Donnato in order to clarify several issues The conclusion of this research is that the business of business is to be ethically, CSR and sustainable. It can be extrapolated to sustainable finance; in this way business will generate social value and economically value. The economical value is a consequence of the social value generation. In the long term, social and economically value will converge. Moreover, in the finance field this integration of ethical, CSR and sustainable is necessary: for instance Social responsible investments (SRI) and social finance - micro credits focus on satisfactions of stakeholders. Other conclusion is that Generali is an Insurance company with high standards in ethical, Corporate Social responsibility and sustainability and big social concerns. It is very difficult to generalize about the relationship between CSR and profitability. Ethical/CSR/sustainable is consistently with the long term maximization shareholder value because for a company acting CSR represents a significant value for investors, company can be perceived as an ethical, CSR, sustainable. It perceptions affects positively his reputation more in the lung term. In the short time it is less impacted. The analysis using events studies methods and model market showed that ethical/CSR/sustainable news about Generali Events that not generate very significant abnormal returns different from zero. However some of these were positive. It could be interpreted as the market is responding positively to the news of ethical/CSR/suitable issues. But also it could be that investors are not very well informed about ethical/CSR/Sustainability and in SRI. However the ethical/CSR/sustainable compromise generates more value in the run term because of company reputation, and other benefits as employee and customer’s fidelity. Other conclusion is a way to measure CSR is using ethical rating. This document present an introductory part, Chapter 1. Chapter 2 gives a framework of the ethical issues of corporation’s operations and covers the following topics: MNCs Business ethics and Social responsibility, business ethics, mainly the debates made by Hoffman, which is related to ethical dimensions of the making decisions in a framework of business operation’s ethics systems, The topic of corporations operating in third world countries general overview, and General Standards of Behavior -Code of Principles and MNCs. It is important to clarify that the values and principles in Corporation, Medium, and small enterprises, the ethical principles, values and ethics are referring to same aspects, (human rights, environmental, social, economical aspects). But in this research only the ethical approach for Corporations will be considered. Chapter 3 presents the analysis about: what does it mean corporate social responsibility (CSR)? what is the responsibility of the business?, For this scope, the chapter covers the following aspects such as: The meaning of corporate social responsibility, the concept of CSR based on the definition of the space between the law and social expectation, the expectation of stakeholders and incorporating of identity in the sustainability strategy CSR, the evolution of the concept, the traditional ideology and modern ideology of CSR and why the concept is changing, corporate social responsibility benefits, corporate social responsibility international perspective. In Chapter 4, it is analyzed the following issues: why the finance a new paradigm is necessary, what ethical finance it about, based on concepts such as CSR/SRI and ethical sustainable finance focus in two levels: Macro level and Micro level. The Macro level is focus to the topic of (1) Social Responsible Investments -definitions, growing, background, some trends and so on- Sustainability. Other areas and instruments of ethical finance in a macro level are presented such as: (2) Ethics /CSR and financial sectors, Sustainable index (stock exchanges), (3) Cleantech Venture capital, (4) Financial services, (5) Institutional investors, (6) International institution will be analized. The Micro level make reference to the (7) Social Finance and (8) micro credit issues: In chapter 5, It is analyzed how social responsibility is measured and monitored. In addition, some other topic such as: CSR and ethics rating agencies, ethics rating methodologies, rating agencies in practicing are discussed. Chapter 6, It is discussed how the Generali insurance company presents his CSR/ sustainable compromises. This chapter defines the event to measure the CSR impact on the company value (share value in the short time). Some aspects of Generali Code ethics, values, strategy, CSR initiative (information included in CSR reports and websites) are analyzed. In Chapter 7, an analysis is carried out to verify if the share prices that reflect firm’s financial performance are affected by public information of environmental, social and economical performance. In order to measure the effects of CSR on share price, an event study is carried out which measures changes in share prices based on the announcement of events. Particularly, it will be measure the effect of CSR’s events of the Generali Group Insurance group in its share prices. Finally, conclusions, suggestion- recommendations and issues of further research are discussed.

Повний текст джерелаThe present study examined the effects of ethnic identity and ethnicity on hiring discrimination (via perceived job suitability ratings) and rater prejudice against Middle-Eastern applicants. A sample of N = 69 employed college students of Caucasian and African-American descent role-played recruiters rating fictitious job resumes (varying on job applicants' ethnicity) on Perceived Job Suitability. It was hypothesized that job applicants' ethnic identification would predict ratings, and that participants' ethnicity and ethnic identity were examined as moderators of the target relationship. The findings did not support the predictions. Specifically, the current study found that participants rated the Middle Eastern resumes higher than the Caucasian resume, regardless of the rater's ethnicity. Furthermore, the partially identified Middle Eastern resume received higher than the fully identified Middle Eastern resume from both Caucasian and African American groups. Lastly, the ethnic identity level of a rater did not affect his or her job suitability ratings.

The use of Internet as a health information source is very common. The quality of this information is widely variable. The quality seals and trust marks owned by the medical websites and granted by accreditation programmes, are good tools to improve the health services on the Internet.
In this dissertation the different guidelines of the main accreditation programmes are analysed. The perception of the responsible personnel in charge of medical websites on the accreditation seal usefulness is studied as well as the prevalence usage of the quality seals in these web sites.
Conclusions: the standardization is very difficult considering the wide number of guidelines and quality criteria. The responsible personnel in charge of medical websites admit that the WMA seal has a positive influence in the quality of their websites and that the seals are moderately used although the webs presenting them are usually of a higher quality then the rest.
Kowalska, Barbara. "Godkänd i särskolan : pedagogiskt meningsskapande i betygssättning i skolformen särskolan." Thesis, Stockholm University, Department of Special Education, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-37256.
Повний текст джерелаThe aim of this study was to examine how teachers in special schools for children with mental disabilities add meaning to the process of assessing their pupils with a grading system. The study was carried out in a focus group that, during three qualitative dialogues, discussed the grading system in special schools in general and on the basis of the national school curriculum. The material was analyzed from a theoretical viewpoint taking into account both the French philosopher Michel Foucault’s perspective on empowerment and that of post-structuralism.
The results show that it is clearly problematic to assess children with intellectual disabilities. Due to the children´s differing conditions it is not possible to establish common knowledge goals and grades cannot be weighed in relation to the child’s level of knowledge. However, by considering the individual conditions of the children, formative assessment can be practiced and by avoiding not-passed grades all pupils in the special school can reach their individual goals and it is guaranteed that pupils always receive a grade that allows them to pass. The study also shows that the assessment still contains a comparative aspect; in fact, a comparative aspect is already incorporated in the assignment process to the special school which in Sweden bases on comparing the pupils intelligence level with that of other children of similar age. The goal-related grading system thus builds on a comparative system, in which children tested with a certain value from the normal test scale, are expected to not reach the curriculum goals and are then placed in a special school.
The results of this study also illustrate the consequences of grade assessment for children´s identity and future. The teacher´s handling of curriculum goals and grades results in the subjectivization of the pupils. Children are shaped to be learning subjects in an environment of discourses that segregates the children by labeling them as being different from normal. Both, pupils and personnel operate in a system of (ranked) power where disciplinary actions are part of a normalization process, a process that creates and is created by the prevailing ranking of power. The study shows that the assignment of grades in special schools and schools for children with mental disabilities is in itself part of a social process that singles out individuals who get diagnosed as intellectually disabled and that places them at the margin of society.
Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka hur pedagoger i särskolan skapar mening i betygssättningen av elever i denna skolform. Studien har genomförts i en fokusgrupp som i kvalitativa samtal vid tre tillfällen har diskuterat betygssättning i särskolan allmänt samt med utgångspunkt i grundsärskolans nationella dokument. Materialet har analyserats utifrån ett teoretiskt perspektiv med det poststrukturalistiska och Michel Foucaults maktperspektiv för ögonen.
I resultatet har det framkommit att betygssättning i särskolan är problematiskt. Elevers olika förutsättningar gör det omöjligt att ha gemensamma kunskapsmål och viktningen av betyg låter sig inte göras i förhållande till kunskapsnivån. Genom att ta hänsyn till de egna förutsättningarna kan formativ bedömning dock tillämpas och avsaknaden av ickegodkänt betyg gör att barnens individuella mål kan uppnås och ett godkänt betyg alltid garanteras. Analysen av materialet visar också att den jämförande aspekten i bedömningen finns kvar inte minst i själva mottagandet till särskolan, då det svenska systemet grundar sig på att elever föreslås skolformen särskola utifrån en jämförelse med jämnårigas intelligensnivå. Skolans mål- och kunskapsrelativa betygssystem bygger därmed på ett relativ jämförande ordning, där barn som testats och fått ett visst värde på normalskalan, förväntas att inte uppnå grundskolans mål och tas emot i särskolan.
Studiens resultat har också visat betygssättningens och särskolans betydelse för elevers identitetsskapande och framtid. Pedagogers hantering av kunskapsmål och betyg för med sig en subjektivering av elever där barnen formas till lärande subjekt i en miljö fylld av diskurser som vill särskilja dem som avvikande från det normala. Såväl eleverna som personalen själv verkar i en maktordning där disciplineringen är en del i en normaliseringsprocess, en process som skapas av och skapar den rådande maktordningen. Studien visar att betygssättningen i särskolan och den särskilda skolformen i sig är en del av den samhällsprocess som verkar för att sortera ut personer som får diagnosen utvecklingsstörning och som placeras i utkanten av samhället.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: The National Department of Basic Education is aware that it is not succeeding in providing quality education for all school children. At present the performance of grade 3 and grade 6 learners, in both international and local assessment, is a matter for great concern. The results suggest that most learners lack basic literacy and numeracy skills. Learners’ performance in the National Senior Certificate Examinations is also far from what it should be. The way in which schools are managed largely determines the quality of education learners receive. As the managers of schools, therefore, principals are held responsible for the poor performance of learners during these annual systemic evaluations. The study aimed to investigate whether the school principals are aware of their powers and whether they perceive themselves as able to use their power to influence school practices positively and thus promote quality education. The study indicates that principals rely on a combination of positional and personal power sources to promote quality education. The study also indicates that principals are aware of their power but have a limited understanding of the concept of power. They also seem to lack the knowledge and understanding to exercise these powers effectively. Although they seem able to exercise considerable power in different situations, principals are reluctant to use their power. It seems that various external and internal factors influence their ability to use their power effectively.

Повний текст джерелаPrevious research has shown that Middle Eastern applicants' ethnic names and affiliations caused Caucasian raters to demonstrate increased discrimination during resume screening. The current study extended previous research by investigating the differences in job suitability ratings given by Middle Eastern and Caucasian raters for Middle Eastern job applicants by exploring rater ethnicity as a possible moderator in the relationship between ethnic identifiers and job suitability ratings, as well as studying the effect of acculturation on Middle Eastern raters' judgments of applicant job suitability. Contrary to the prediction, the current study found that participants gave significantly higher mean job suitability ratings to the partially identified Middle Eastern resume compared to the White resume. Furthermore, White raters did not give lower mean ratings to the partially and fully identified Middle Eastern resumes as compared to the White resume. However, Middle Eastern raters did give higher mean job suitability ratings to the partially identified Middle Eastern resume as compared to the White resume. Finally, the current study found that Middle Eastern raters with lower levels of acculturation gave higher mean job suitability scores to the fully identified Middle Eastern resume.

Hauptfleisch, Daniel Benjamin. "The moderating effect of interview structure on race-group similarity effects in simulated interview ratings." Thesis, Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/20166.
Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated race-group similarity effects as a form of interviewer bias in selection interview ratings. Social Identity Theory predicts that interviewers would assign higher ratings to interviewees of the same social group (the so-called in-group) primarily through the mechanism of similarity attraction. Research findings up to now have lent only partial support to this hypothesis. This study argues that interview structure may help to explain inconsistent research findings since structure could inhibit the functioning of the similarity-attraction mechanism. The present research pursued two objectives, namely (1) to determine the degree to which race-group similarity (between interviewer and interviewee) exerts a biasing effect on selection interview dimension ratings, (2) to determine whether same-group bias increases when interview structure is experimentally diminished. This experimental study manipulated the degree of structure in interviews (high- and low-structured conditions) and compared the degree to which race group similarity effects were evident under each condition. Interviews were simulated by showing video-taped interview segments to a sample of participants and asking them to rate interview dimensions on rating scales that had been compiled to reflect the degree of structure in each condition. The data were analysed using Hierarchical Linear Modelling (HLM) and multiple regression analysis to determine whether similarity effects were present in the interview rating data. The results support the hypothesis that racial similarity effects are found under low-structured conditions, as well as the hypothesis that interview structure moderates the influence of similarity effects. However, racial similarity effects were also found with the highly structured condition. Although these effects were smaller than in the low-structured condition, they were statistically significant. Future research should attempt to replicate this study as a field study to test the generalisability of the findings.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek onderhoudvoerdersydigheid in die vorm van rasgroepsoortgelykheidseffekte in seleksie-onderhoudbeoordelings. Sosiale Identiteitsteorie voorspel dat onderhoudvoerders diegene van dieselfde rasgroep (die sogenaamde ingroep) met hoër beoordelingstellings sal aanslaan, primêr deur die werking van die soortgelykheidaangetrokkendheidsmeganisme. Navorsingsresultate tot op hede leen slegs gedeeltelike steun aan hierdie hipotese. Hierdie studie argumenteer dat die rede vir teenstrydige navorsingbevindinge moontlik die gevolg van die bemiddelende effek van onderhoudstruktuur kan wees, aangesien struktuur moontlik die funksionering van die soortgelykheid-aangetrokkendheidsmeganisme kan inperk. Die studie streef dus twee doelwitte na, nl. (1) om die mate waartoe rasgroepooreenstemming tussen die onderhoudvoerder en onderhoudnemer ’n sydige invloed op onderhouddimensietellings uitoefen te bepaal en (2) om te bepaal of soortgelykheidseffekte toeneem namate onderhoudstruktuur eksperimenteel verlaag word. ’n Eksperimentele ontwerp is gebruik waarbinne onderhoudstruktuur (hoog- en laag gestruktuurde toestande) in video-opnames van onderhoude nageboots is. ’n Groep beoordelaars het hierdie stimilusmateriaal beoordeel aan die hand van beoordelingskriteria wat opgestel is om die mate van struktuur binne elke toestand te reflekteer. Gevolglik is die mate van rasgroepsoortgelykheidseffekte binne elke struktuurtoestand vergelyk. Die navorsingsdata is met gebruik van Hiërargiese Lineêre Modellering (HLM) en veelvoudige regressie ontleed om die teenwoordigheid van soortgelykheidsydigheid te bepaal. Die resultate steun die hipotese dat rassoortgelykheidseffekte onder laaggestruktuurde toestande voorkom, asook dat onderhoudstruktuur ’n modererende rol speel. Nietemin is soortgelyke effekte ook onder die hoog gestruktuurde toestand gevind. Alhoewel hierdie effekte kleiner as onder die laaggestruktuurde toestand was, was dit steeds statisties beduidend. Toekomstige navorsing kan poog om ‘n soortgelyke ondersoek as ‘n veldstudie te onderneem om die moontlikheid van veralgemening van die resultate te bepaal.

Повний текст джерелаThe Islamic investor differs from its counterpart type, the homo-economicus, in its approach to the act of investment. Indeed, the first is not based solely on financial criteria to prioritize its investment choices, but also uses moral and ethical criteria to assess the effectiveness of its financial allocations. This particular behavior is explained by the fact that, performing acts of investments consistent with Islamic business ethics generates a pleasure of piety to this type of investor. The neo-classical financial theory ignores the existence of the pleasure of piety and its potential impact on the process of selecting investments. Also, portfolio theory and its corollary, the theory of CAPM do not take into account the preferences of the Islamic investor. Therefore, it is not able to use them to assess the effectiveness of its investment choices. To overcome this theoretical failure, we offer through our research, a model of asset pricing that takes into account the specificities of Islamic investment, for example, the inability to achieve a short selling and taking into account ethical and moral aspects of investment portfolios. This model should allow the homo-islamicus to achieve optimal allocation of its financial resources. The main results of our research show that unlike conventional socially responsible investment, Islamic investment is ethical and altruistic types. This specificity requires Islamic rating agencies, to take into account the levels of charitable giving that makes every business, when calculating its ethical note. We therefore develop a rating model for companies and investment portfolios that takes into consideration the specificity of Islamic investment. Subsequently, we propose two alternatives that enable Islamic investors to circumvent the prohibition to perform conventional short selling transactions. Finally, we build our Islamic assets pricing model

Повний текст джерелаA responsabilidade civil do advogado é um tema que merece destaque sob a perspectiva civil constitucional. A abrangência dessa relação jurídica pelo Código de Defesa do Consumidor e a natureza negocial multiforme da relação estabelecida entre o advogado e o cliente, cuja normativa deve ser estabecida tendo em vista o caso concreto, são pontos de destaque desse trabalho, assim como a aplicabilidade do consentimento informado. Nessa toada, pretende-se conferir o enfoque funcional a partir da releitura das classificações tradicionais da responsabilidade civil em contratual, extracontratual, subjetiva, objetiva e entre as obrigações de meio e resultado para em seguida, analisarmos das hipóteses mais frequentes de responsabilização, quais sejam: a perda de uma chance, o abuso do direito processual e a reversão de liminares revertidas ao final do processo. Por fim, dentre as tendências de prevenção e precaução de danos da responsabilidade civil, revela-se a formalização de seguros de responsabilidade profissional para advogados.
Liability of attorney is a topic that deserves attention from the perspective of the constitutional civil measure. The scope of this legal relationship by the Consumer Protection Code and the nature of multifaceted relationship between lawyer and client, whose rules must be developed further in view of the case, are highlights of this work, as well as the applicability of informed consent. In this tune, it is intended to confer the functional approach from the rereading of traditional classifications of liability in contract, tort, subjective, objective, and between the obligations of means and results to then analyze the most common assumptions of accountability, which are: the loss of a chance, the abuse of procedural law and the reversal of court orders reversed at the end of the process. Finally, among the trends of precaution and prevention of damage to civil liability, it is the formalization of professional liability insurance for lawyers.

Det finns idag diskussioner om huruvida etiska fonder presterar bättre eller sämre än fonder utan de etiska kriterierna. Detta innefattar också en livlig diskussion om huruvida investerare är medvetna om konsekvenserna av att investera i etiska fonder. Därför berör studien teorierna kring den rationella- och beslutsteorin, för vilka huvudsakligen styr investeringsbesluten. Studien behandlar också portföljvalsteori då detta är en av de bakomliggande teorierna för fondförvaltning och dess uppkomst. Syftet med denna studie är förklara om de etiska begränsningar i urvalet av värdepapper påverkar risk och avkastning i fondportföljen. I studien kommer en positivistisk forskningssats användas samt en kvantitativ metod. Metoden innefattar en del beräkningar och ekvationer som används och som presenteras. Studien pekar på att de etiska fonderna faktiskt levererar en bättre riskjusterad excessavkastning än sitt jämförelseindex på den svenska marknaden. Den visar också tendenser att de etiska fonderna levererar en bättre excessavkastning än de fonderna utan etiska preferenser. Vidare kommer studien fram till att det inte kan påvisas någon statistisk skillnad mellan de etiska fonderna och jämförelseindexet vad det gäller risken i investeringar. En begränsning med studien är att undersökningen huvudsakligen innefattar den svenska marknaden med svenska företagsaktörer. Detta gör att det kan finns behov av forskning på en global marknad där även de kulturella aspekterna behöver bejakas. Eftersom det tidigare har varit ganska oklart vad det gäller etiska fondernas prestanda på den svenska marknaden, och i en tid då efterfrågan på etiska urvalet ökar, är målet med denna studie att bringa klarhet om etiska fonders prestation.

Повний текст джерелаVarious ethical challenges occur in the performance appraisal process. It was postulated that the lack of transparency that often characterises performance appraisal could be a major contributing factor to the occurrence of ethical challenges in appraisal. Transparency in performance appraisal is described as an attempt to optimally reveal all relevant information regarding the performance appraisal process to key stakeholders concerned, without putting anyone at risk. A dearth of research on the role of transparency in performance appraisal prompted an attempt to isolate and describe transparency in relation to the performance appraisal process. An exploratory phenomenological approach was selected as research strategy, and within this strategy, semi-structured in-depth interviews (n=7) were utilised to explore the nature of transparency in the performance appraisal process. The participants were in a managerial role with experience in conducting performance appraisal, and have been subject to performance appraisal themselves. Systematic content analysis of data produced results that indicated that transparency does not operate in isolation but in conjunction with other ethical dimensions (trust, fairness, integrity, maturity, respect, responsibility, and honesty). Effective and sufficient communication of information before, during, and after the performance appraisal process was identified as a crucial element in creating a perception of transparency with key stakeholders involved. An adherence to principles of transparency in performance appraisal could potentially build trust between parties involved, increase fairness in the appraisal process, validate the organisation's integrity, and create mutual respect amongst stakeholders. Although applying transparency in appraisal has many benefits, it should be handled with caution as sensitive information has the potential to cause harm or put stakeholders at risk.

Повний текст джерелаMotivated teachers are essential for effe~~ive teaching to take place. As a result of trauma experienced by the black teacher, especially after 1976, when their authority was. undermined and the slogan "Liberation before education" was the theme of the day, teachers were unmotivated to teach. Furthermore the existing forms used to "inspect" the teachers were unacceptable for the ANC government and teachers. The researcher, out of his experience as subject advisor, identified and addressed the shortcomings in the existing evaluation practices by developing a motivation strategy where a motivation form is used. In this way a learning culture could again be established in the schools. As a grounding for above mentioned strategy a literature study was done on motivation, the motivation theories as well as ways in which adults are motivated. Goal setting, what it entials, existing theories as well as the errors made when setting goals, were also researched by means of literature studies. A motivation form is developed in this research, in which the purpose, development and structuring of the form is discussed. Finally research is undertaken to determine the didactic principles relevant to this study were researched to determine what the purpose and value of each principle were, and how these could simultaneously contribute towards the mastering of the work by the pupils.

Повний текст джерелаGREGORY RESEARCH BELIEFS SCALE: FACTOR STRUCTURE AND PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES The study at hand involves developing the Gregory Research Beliefs Scale (GRBS) to reliably and validly measure social work students’ beliefs about the function of research in social work practice. Research has considerable actual and potential benefits for practice. Social work students’ beliefs about this construct are vital. A description of the advantages of using research to inform practice is given. Additionally, the Council on Social Work Education and National Association of Social Workers’ policies that mandate the merger of research and practice are also provided to further justify the need for adequate psychometric evaluation of the construct. Details of the literature search strategy are described and critical evaluations of the empirical articles are conducted. Based on critical evaluations of instruments which have previously measured the same construct, a number of psychometric shortcomings are outlined to validate the need for further scale development of the construct. The present study’s objectives were to develop a scale which has an empirically and theoretically supported factor structure, acceptable coefficient alpha levels, empirically supported discriminant (divergent) validity, concurrent criterion validity, and known–groups criterion validity. Steps for developing the GRBS’s items, response format, sample, research design, and statistical tests are specified and conducted to determine the factor structure and psychometric properties. Finally, the strengths, limitations, and areas for future research are discussed.
Hoffman, Leslie Ann. "An exploration of reflective writing and self-assessments to explain professionalism lapses among medical students." Thesis, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1805/5931.
Повний текст джерелаBackground: Recent literature on medical professionalism claims that self-awareness and the ability to reflect upon one’s experiences is a critical component of professionalism; however there is a paucity of empirical evidence to support this claim. This study employed a mixed methods approach to explore the utility of reflective writing and self- and peer assessments in explaining professionalism lapses among medical students. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted using students from Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) who had been disciplined for unprofessional behavior between 2006-2013 (case group; n=70). A randomly selected control group (n=230) was used for comparison. Reflective ability was assessed using a validated rubric to score students’ professionalism journals. Mean reflection scores and assessment scores were compared using t-tests. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the impact of reflection scores and self- and peer assessment scores on the likelihood of having been disciplined for unprofessional behavior. Subsequent qualitative analysis further explored when and how students learned professionalism during their clinical experiences. Results: The study found that students in the case group exhibited lower reflective ability than control students. Furthermore, reflective ability was a significant factor in explaining the odds that a student had been cited for professionalism lapses. There were no differences in self-assessment scores between the two groups, but students in the case group had significantly lower peer assessment scores than control students. Peer assessment scores also had the greatest influence on the odds that a student had been cited for professionalism deficiencies during medical school. Qualitative analysis revealed that students learn professionalism from role models who demonstrated altruism and respect (or lack thereof). Conclusions: These findings suggest that students should be provided with guidance and feedback on their reflective writing to promote higher levels of reflection, which may reduce the number of students who are cited for professionalism lapses. These findings also indicate that peer assessments can be used to provide students with insightful feedback regarding their professional development. Finally, role models have a strong influence on students’ professional development, and therefore must be cognizant of the implicit messages their behaviors convey.

Повний текст джерелаMedical statistics is a vast and ever-growing field of academic endeavour, with direct application to developing the robustness of the evidence base in all areas of medicine. Although the complexity of available statistical techniques has continued to increase, fuelled by the rapid data processing capabilities of even desktop/laptop computers, medical practitioners can go a long way towards creating, critically evaluating and assimilating this evidence with an understanding of just a few key statistical concepts. While the concepts of statistics and ethics are not common bedfellows, it should be emphasised that a statistically flawed study is also an unethical study.[1] This review will outline some of these key concepts and explain how to interpret the output of some commonly used statistical analyses. Examples will be confined to two-group tests on independent samples, using both a continuous and a dichotomous/binary outcome measure.

Ethnic restaurants are very popular in Taiwan because the increase of eating-out population and this leads to the boom of the catering industry. Thus, how to succeed in the competitive restaurant industry is a critical issue. Menu presentation is a key factor to affect customers’ decision making. This study investigates how the menu’s picture-text ratio of ethnic restaurants, and social distance between the customers and ethnic culture of the restaurants impacts the product attitude and purchase intention. An experimental method was adopted by using two-factor design of picture-text ratio (big picture-small text vs. small picture-big text) and social distance (Japanese cuisine vs. middle-east cuisine). A survey was conducted. SPSS statistic software was employed. The results indicate that the menus with big picture-small text have the higher purchase intention and more positive product attitude. In terms of restaurants of low social distance (Japanese cuisine), the menu with big picture-small text has the higher purchase intention and product attitude. On the other hand, there is no significant difference on purchase intention and product attitude between the menus with small picture-big text and big picture-small text in the restaurants of high social distance (middle-east cuisine).
"The performance of socially responsible mutual funds : a review of South African funds." Thesis, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10210/13990.
Повний текст джерелаOver the last three decades, socially responsible investing (SRI) has emerged as one of the foremost issues faced by individuals and institutions in their daily activities. While the roots of responsible investing date back to the 18th century, the recent focus on responsible investing has been impactful. There has been growth in understanding the impact of investors’ decisions on long-term sustainability of business and society. In South Africa, the recent amendment of Regulation 28 of Pension Funds Act of 1956 and the introduction of the Code for Responsible Investing in South Africa (CRISA) are some of the latest developments in support of SRI. This minor dissertation evaluates the performance of SRI funds relative to traditional funds from January 2006 to June 2011. Specifically, the focus is on four main measures. Firstly, SRI funds relative to SRI funds’ own mandated benchmark; secondly, SRI funds relative to proxy market benchmark indices; thirdly, SRI funds relative to a matched sample of traditional unit trust funds; and lastly, SRI indices relative to traditional market indices. Twenty-seven funds were analysed in the study. The first finding was that SRI funds outperform their respective benchmarks on an unadjusted basis. Secondly, SRI funds showed slightly better risk-adjusted performance compared to proxy benchmark indices. Thirdly, SRI funds underperformed against a matched sample of traditional peers. Lastly, the FTSE/JSE SRI Equity Index underperformed against the general market equity index, but outperformed both the bonds and money market indices.

Die doel van hierdie verkennende studie was om ondersoek in te stel na die prestasiewaardes onderliggend aan Affektiewe, Kontinulteits- en Normatiewe organisasieverbintenis van werknemers binne die motorywerheid in Suid-Afrika. 'n Steekproef van 113 werknemers is uit verskillende motorhandelaars geselekteer. Daarna is ondersoek ingestel na watter prestasiewaardes betekenisvolle voorspellers van organisasieverbintenis is. Daar is bevind dat die prestasiewaardes mededinging en materiele welvaart betekenisvolle voorspellers van affektiewe organisasieverbintenis is, en dat die prestasiewaardes materiele welvaart en strewe na uitmuntendheid betekenisvolle voorspellers van kontinuiteitsorganisasieverbintenis is, maar dat geeneen van die prestasiewaardes wat huidig wereldwyd erken word, betekenisvolle voorspellers van normatiewe organisasieverbintenis in die motomywerheid is nie. Dit het verreikende irnplikasies vir die Suid-Afrikaanse motorhandelaar. Hierbenewens is dit ook duidelik uit die navorsingsresultate dat die prestasiewaardes mededinging, materiele welvaart en strewe na uitmuntendheid hulself daartoe leen om op 'n geintegreerde wyse deur bestuur van motorhandelaars aangewend te word ten einde hul kumulatiewe invloed op organisasieverbintenis optimaal te kan benut.
The objective of this exploratory study was to investigate the performance values subjacent to affective, continuity and normative organisation commitment of employees in the motor industry in South Africa. A sample of 113 employees was selected from different dealerships. Thereafter an investigation was done to establish which performance values were meaningful predictors of organisation commitment. It was found that the performance values competition and material gain were meaningful predictors of affective organisation commitment, and the performance values material gain and excellence were meaningful predictors of continuity organisation commitment, but that none of the performance values which are contemporarily recognised world-wide were meaningful predictors of normative organisation commitment. This has far-reaching implications for South African motor dealers. It was also apparent from the results that the performance values competition, material gain and excellence can be utilized in an integrated way by management of motor dealers in order to ensure optimal utilization of their cumulative impact on organisation commitment.
