Повний текст джерелаCompletion rates of postgraduate students are relatively low worldwide. Completion rates in South Africa are currently 20% for Masters students and 13% for Doctoral students. Differences between South African universities that are attributed to the political history and racially patterned ways of allocating resources and facilitating development have been identified by the literature. Recent student protests identified issues of access, representivity and language amongst others, as important concerns requiring redress. Research has shown that postgraduate graduation rates are higher among first language English speaking students than non-mother-tongue English speakers. This study utilized a collective case study design to explore the experiences of Psychology Masters students doing thesis work in their non-mother-tongue. The study was underpinned by a Social Constructionist framework. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data and the transcribed interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Measures such as, member-checking, inquiry audit, providing thick descriptions, and reflexivity were employed to ensure all four aspects of trustworthiness. Ethics clearance was obtained from the Human and Social Science Research Ethics Committee of the University of the Western Cape. Permission to conduct the study at the identified institution was obtained from the Registrar. The Ethics Rules of Conduct under the Health Professions Act were fully adhered to. Results indicated that participants struggled with conceptual thinking, reading, writing and speaking. Findings also illustrated that emotional support from family and friends is vital and highlighted characteristics of helpful supervisory relationships. On a latent level, three underlying forms of rhetoric were identified from participants’ descriptions of their experience. These are skill, power, and identity. These are discussed as products of the social structures and institutional practices that undergird them.

Повний текст джерелаThe state of postgraduate studies in South Africa has come under renewed enquiry in recent years as concern is placed on the inconsistency between postgraduate enrolment and graduation rates. The discrepancy between the enrolment and completion rates is attributable to a range of factors. Literature identified the supervisory relationship as an important and significant factor in predicting completion. The establishment of a good working alliance in the beginning of the thesis process has been identified as a crucial task. As a result, it is useful to gain insight into how students set about establishing working relationships with new supervisors and how they rate the quality thereof. The present study was conducted with Psychology Masters students who were in their first semester of the first enrolment in the Community and Health Sciences faculty at the University of the Western Cape. Attachment theory provided the theoretical framework for the study as it posits that the quality of current relationships are a function of early relationship experiences. Thus students were thought to draw on earlier experiences when setting about establishing new relationships such as the supervisory relationship. The study was exploratory and descriptive in nature. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven eligible participants who have been selected purposively. Transcriptions have been subjected to a Thematic Analysis. Ethics clearance has been requested from and granted by the Senate Research Committee and all relevant ethics principles such as, confidentiality, anonymity, voluntary participation and informed consent, have been adhered to. Findings indicated that supervision was a central component for graduate completion, underscoring the importance of early supervisory sessions to form a strong working alliance. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the supervisor's role in providing the expertise and support largely contributed to the success of establishing strong and productive supervisory relationships. Participants perceived strong supervisory relationships as necessary to foster completion of higher degree requirements. The development of a new supervisory relationship activated relational patterns for students that underscored the importance of recognizing the supervisory relationship as a relationship.

Повний текст джерелаKnowledge-based competition within a globalising economy is prompting a fresh consideration of the role of higher education in development and growth. Previously, it was often viewed as an expensive and inefficient public service that largely benefited the wealthy and privileged. It is now understood to make a necessary contribution to the success of national efforts to boost productivity, competitiveness and economic growth. Several governments see universities as engines for change and expansion of prosperity. There is also an increasing recognition that Higher Education has become dominated by a market-driven, consumerist service ethic and that this may have an impact on the style of research output and research supervision that academics adopt for a new knowledge economy. Research education or training, as it is often termed, is attracting greater scrutiny as research itself is seen of greater importance in the global knowledge economy. Students in post-graduation degree programmes across the world conduct research projects as a requirement to complete degrees A thesis or dissertation develops the ability to work independently and critically, the ability to develop arguments, and awareness and use of advanced methodological designs that pertain to the student's discipline of study. Thus such learning is argued to be facilitated in the context of research advisement or supervision. Through this process the student might adopt or internalise values and attitudes of the supervisor regarding research. This process is referred to as internalisation of the research supervisor, thereby contributing to the development of the student researchers. The theoretical framework chosen for this study was social constructionism. The aim of this present study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of students in relation to the internalisation of the supervisor that may take place during research supervision. The study utilised in-depth semi-structured interviews to collect data. Eleven participants from various supervisors consented to be part of the study. These were recruited using purposive sampling. The ethics considerations of the study adhered to the guidelines stipulated by Ethics committee of the University. Data was transcribed, and analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of this study indicate factors contributing to internalisation vary depending on aspects such as personalities of both the supervisor and the student, perceived quality of supervision and the supervision process itself. Findings also suggest that internalisation, whether positive or negative, of the research supervisor took place among the participants.

Les étudiants de premier cycle (N =177) ont complété les mesures d'auto-évaluation pertinentes au début et à la fin du semestre. À la suite du premier questionnaire, les participants ont été assigné au hasard à l'une des trois conditions d'intervention (les intérêts par rapport à l'étude, la difficulté perçue de la tâche, et la désirabilité sociale) ou un groupe control. Les résultats de régression multiple et successive avec variable muette ont démontré que la seule variable à toujours être prédite par les conditions d'intervention est les intérêts par rapport à l'étude, avec ces effets étant modéré par l'accomplissement académique préalable et les buts de maîtrise.

Повний текст джерелаNeuropsychiatric disorders place a great burden on the South African healthcare system. This burden is compounded by the shortage of integral human resources such as mental health care staff. Directed Masters programmes in Psychology can address this shortage as it is the practicing degree to qualify as a psychologist and subsequently register as such with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). A small group of students are selected into Professional Masters programmes in Psychology each year, but not all students complete their studies as some are either terminated from the programme or choose to self-terminate. There is a lack of systematic exploration of the factors contributing to non-completion due to self termination. The study therefore aimed to explore the experiences of postgraduate students that chose to self-terminate their studies in a directed Masters programme in Psychology and to identify the factors that contributed to such a decision. The study was qualitative and explorative in nature. The sample consisted of four participants who were previously enrolled for a directed Masters programmes in Psychology offered at a historically disadvantaged university in the Western Cape. The Senate Research and Senate Higher Degrees Committees of UWC (Ethics Clearance and Project Registration Number: 15/4/44) granted permission to conduct the study. Relevant ethics principles including informed consent, voluntary participation, confidentiality, and anonymity were adhered to. Data was collected through programme records and semi-structured interviews. Interviews were transcribed and analysed by two researchers using thematic analysis. Data collection and analysis occurred simultaneously until saturation was reached. Trustworthiness of the findings was achieved through continuous interrogation of multiple readings of the data, reflexivity, and external auditing. Findings revealed numerous factors that incorporate personal, programmatic and contextual considerations as motivations to self-terminate from a postgraduate programme, thus pointing to the complexity of the decision-making process within a socially embedded reality. The factors influential in self-termination prior to enrollment include the participants' interest in psychological work, their prior work experience and a need for skills capacitation which served as their motives for enrollment. Upon entry into the programme the participants experienced a disparity between their expectations and the nature and requirements of the programme, which led to a lack of satisfaction with the course. Lack of satisfaction, along with academic, physical and emotional unpreparedness, uncertainty about study choice, and perceived competence were some of the obstacles to academic integration. The dissonance they experienced were further exacerbated during enrollment by other factors such as the availability of financial support, interpersonal dynamics within the cohort group, and personal belief systems. The participants were able to find meaning in the process of self-termination as it led to a heightened pursuit of the realisation of personal goals. Participants have subsequent to their experiences in the programme been using the knowledge that they have gained in both salaried and volunteer positions, thus continuing to contribute to the field of psychology.

Bandura (1986,1997) asserts that a group's belief in its members' co-joint abilities, or its collective-efficacy, influences the degree to which that group seeks challenging goals, puts forth effort, and persists in the face of adversity. Group leaders serve important functions in the development of successful groups (Yalom, 1995). Since successful coaches are able to consistently demonstrate the ability to mold a group of individuals into a winning team, it is important to understand what methods coaches employ to develop team confidence. The purpose of this study was to understand how master football coaches develop team confidence. The participants for this interview-based, qualitative study included twenty "master" football coaches (6 professional and 14 collegiate). Criteria for inclusion were as follows: each participant had been a head football coach for at least ten years, and had a consistent record of success. Seventeen of the twenty had achieved success with three or more different teams. The findings reveal that these coaches employ a wealth of psychological strategies in different situations to enhance the development of team confidence. Their selective deployment of these strategies takes place throughout a series of developmental tasks, here described as the "Team Confidence Cycle." This includes seven key tasks: 1. Set the Course, 2. Create a Confidence Environment, 3. Promote Mastery, 4. Get Them to Perform, 5. Assess Performance, 6. Stay the Course and 7. Maintain High Performance. In the interviews the coaches revealed that team confidence was essential to their view of how teams achieve success. The constructs of team confidence and success were considered closely intertwined. Promoting mastery experiences, therefore, was primary among those strategies used by the master coaches to build team confidence. A second key strategy was that they pointed out successful experiences to their team(s). These coaches thus placed the greatest importance on "demonstrating ability" and then ensuring that improvement was noted. These findings are in accordance with Bandura (1997). Implications for coaches, especially of youth sport, are outlined in the final chapter.

Nell, Erika. "The Effects of a DVD counselling programme in preventing the breakdown of a partner relationships of Master's students in Clinical Psychology." Thesis, University of Limpopo (Medunsa Campus), 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10386/680.
Повний текст джерелаThe Clinical Psychology training program at the University of Limpopo (Medunsa Campus) is based on the theoretical paradigm of General Systems Theory. The functioning of systems in terms of patterns, structure, organization and relationships can therefore also be applied to the trainee and his/her partner relationship system which is characterized by circular patterns of interaction. Ernst (2008) states that within the context of General Systems theory it became evident that the trainee does not function in isolation but as part of a system. The trainee undergoes significant changes throughout the training year if training is effective and this in turn may also impact on the trainee's partner relationship. This investigation was done to establish the effect of a DVD Counselling Programme on the partner-relationship of the trainee in Clinical Psychology with his/her partner/spouse. This is done in order to provide feedback to the trainers of the Clinical Psychology training at Medunsa. This may also possibly assist in establishing a more scientifically founded aid for the trainees in Msc. Clinical Psychology and their partners/spouses. It was a qualitative research project, in which person centered interviews were held with participants and thematically analyzed by three independent clinicians. The entire research project and findings are contextualized in accordance with General Systems Theory. The results indicated that the DVD had a moderate effect on 4/6 of the sample population that reported that their relationship improved in respect of the nature and quality based on mutual understanding, emotional closeness, obtaining of relational skills, effective communication and awareness regarding the impact of the training year on their relationship. The impact of the DVD was somewhat limited in that not all the participants watched it and the manner iIi which some of the trainees approached their partners/spouses, which may have had an effect on how the DVD is received and experienced.

Повний текст джерелаThis study examines the professional identities of early educators with master's degrees in the United States. While other democratic nations have begun to move toward fully funded early care and education that offers qualified teachers a living wage, early education in the U.S. continues to be vastly underfunded and inconsistently regulated. Through semi-structured interviews with five teachers I identified specific ways in which highly qualified early educators have constructed professional identities within a marginalized profession. Results indicate that the attainment of a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education [ECE] positively influences teachers' abilities to take a leadership role, reflect critically on the field, and participate within the broader public sphere to enact change. Implications of this study highlight the pivotal role that early educators with master's degrees play in shaping the future of ECE in the U.S.

Повний текст джерелаThe ability to extract, utilise and apply environmental cues is a key component of expert performance. In addition to the capacity for cue utilisation, prospective memory (remembering to do something in the future) is also a critical skill for operators working within these dynamic and multi-tasked environments. Due to the nature of the environment, state anxiety (transient anxiety occurring during a stressful environment) would also impact task performance. In the present study, 30 participants undertook an assessment of cue cutisation and state anxiety, along with prospective memory tasks and a rail control simulation. The appearance of trains in the simulation followed a consistent but undisclosed pattern. The findings from this study suggested that there was no relationship between cue utilisation and state anxiety on task and prospective memory performance. However, the study was hampered by a small sample size. Implications for selection and training were discussed.

Повний текст джерелаThis project presents ReturnToWorkSA’s redesign of their organisation. Specifically it outlines (a) the reasons for the redesign; (b) organisational design literature and the theoretical models ReturnToWorkSA used (e.g., functional analysis and lean six sigma methodology); (c) feedback from employees to gauge their thoughts and feelings about the change management approach (d); employee engagement and productivity levels before the redesign and afterwards (2016 and 2018 results); and (e) ReturnToWorkSA’s performance as a business (i.e., ReturnToWorkSA Scheme’s key performance measures before the redesign and afterwards – 2016 and 2018 results). There were 267 ReturnToWorkSA employees impacted by the redesign with 101 employees completing a change readiness survey across three different time points to assess what stage of change they may have been experiencing (i.e., denial, resistance, exploration, commitment). A significant difference was found in employee endorsement of the denial stage of change in comparison to commitment, exploration or resistance between the first survey (when the redesign was announced) and the last survey (when the structure had been finalised). Furthermore, whilst this study did not analyse the relationship between the redesign and other key measures, there were improvements from 2016 (before the redesign) to 2018 (after the redesign) in ReturnToWorkSA’s employee engagement (Utrecht engagement scale), productivity levels (Work Ability Index) and overall business results (Net Promoter Score, return to work/remain at work rates, average premium rate and funding ratio).

Повний текст джерелаCollaborative robots (cobots) are an emerging technology that are increasingly being introduced into organisations. However, research investigating employee attitudes towards, or assessment of factors predicting acceptance of cobots is limited. A literature review was conducted to identify reliable and parsimonious models of technology acceptance that would hold relevance when applied to cobots. Understanding and facilitating employee acceptance of such technology is important if the improved productivity, job satisfaction and cost savings associated with its implementation are to be achieved. The Technology Readiness Index (Parasuraman, 2000) and Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989) were considered most appropriate as a starting point to empirically explore cobot acceptance.

Повний текст джерелаThe past decade of literature has seen a developing body of research focusing on the role of the employee and the associated individual differences that may influence information security in the workplace. While this research has evoked significant findings which identify a variety of factors that influence individual Information Security Awareness (ISA), the results associated with age and gender have been inconsistent (Hadlington, Popovac, Janicke, Yevseyeva, & Jones, 2018; McCormac et al., 2017). In addition, the rate of security breaches continue to rise, with the behaviours of employees identified as a source of ninety-five percent of security incidents (IMB Global Technology Services, 2014). This highlights the need for a greater focus and understanding on human aspects of information security, particularly concerning national culture, which has been very limited in focus within past research. The challenges to determine the factors contributing to information security prove to be complex. Information security awareness is now attracting more attention from industry, as stakeholders are held accountable for the information with which they work (Kritzinger & Smith, 2009). This review will provide an initial assessment of the literature on ISA, individual differences, and national culture. Industry sector will also be considered.

Повний текст джерелаPurpose: This study explored personality traits within the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality, that characterise managers’ perceptions of the personalities of their preferred managers and subordinates, and the extent to which managers’ own personality influenced their perceptions of those with whom they believe they would work best. Design/methodology/approach: Participating mangers (N=78) completed the Big Five Inventory (BFI; John et al.,1991; John et al., 2008) for themselves, their preferred manager and their preferred subordinate. Participants also provided open-ended rankings of characteristics perceived to be important for their preferred managers and subordinates. Correlation analyses and t-tests were conducted, and all open-ended rankings were coded according to the factors and facets of the Five Factor Model of personality. Findings: Participants preferred managers to be more open and extraverted and less neurotic than subordinates, while preferring subordinates to be more conscientious than managers. In addition to wanting them to be similar to themselves on each of the five factors, participants preferred managers and subordinates who were higher on the socially desirable five factor traits than themselves and lower in neuroticism. Originality/value: The results of this study may be beneficial for developing managers’ awareness of how their own and others’ personalities affect their working relationships. Developing this awareness in management training courses may assist managers to develop more positive working relationships. The methodology utilised to assess personality preferences in this study is a new approach within this area of organisational research.

Повний текст джерелаWith a push towards self-sufficiency in retirement and staying at work for longer, there is a growing need to be able to anticipate the cognitive capacity of older workers. This review concerns the dangers of dementia associated with continued employment and considers two broader issues within the organisational context: (i) workers may exit the workforce prematurely due to concerns about cognition (ii) workers may stay at work for longer despite cognitive decline. Current measures used to screen for dementia, such as the MMSE, have limited diagnostic value. A new objective measure, the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB), is explored.

Повний текст джерелаThe National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way of funding and delivering disability supports in Australia. The NDIS was developed to address inadequacies in the existing disability service system and has the potential to significantly improve independence and access to appropriate services for people living with disability. The NDIS has been available Australia wide since June 2019, following a three-year implementation period, and continues to grow. Despite the potential for improved outcomes for consumers of disability services, the changes introduced by the NDIS for providers of disability supports are significant. This review provides an overview of the NDIS and the changes for the disability workforce that have been introduced by the reforms. It then analyses the available research regarding workforce experiences of, and attitudes toward, the NDIS, and provides suggestions for further research to continue to improve the implementation of the scheme from a workforce perspective.

Повний текст джерелаWorkplace bullying is a global phenomenon, associated with significant negative individual and organisational consequences. Workplace behaviour policies represent a commonly promoted prevention and intervention method. However, research examining the relationship between workplace behaviour policies and bullying experiences is limited. Accordingly, this systematic review examined available research in this area, identifying what is known, what remains unknown and the requirements surrounding future research. Results revealed that studies which have attempted to explore the relationship are marked by limitations, significantly restricting their implications. Ultimately, it is unclear whether the presence of a workplace behaviour policy reduces the experience of workplace bullying. The implications of these results are discussed and directions for future research are outlined.

Повний текст джерелаSafety climate, the shared perceptions of policies, practices and procedures for the protection of worker psychological health and safety within an organisation, is recognised as a leading indicator of safety incidents in workplaces. As such, an assessment of work safety climate can be used to identify safety issues and implement strategies to prevent such incidents. However, the ambiguity of the concept has meant that confusion remains over the definition and measurement of safety climate. The Nordic Safety Climate Questionnaire (NOSACQ-50) has previously been recognised as being useful for identifying issues with safety climate and subsequently implementing strategies for improved safety outcomes. A key issue with this questionnaire is its length; the 50 items can be too long for organisations to utilise. Briefer safety climate measures are needed for practical use if they are to provide a means of monitoring the safety climate on a regular basis. This review aims to outline safety climate, differentiating it from safety culture and identifying factors affecting safety climate and its measurement, including a discussion of brief safety climate measures and their benefits.

Повний текст джерелаObjective: To examine how increasing the transparency of an intelligent maritime target identification system impacts on operator performance, workload and trust in the intelligent agent. Background: Previous research has shown that operator accuracy improves with increased transparency of an intelligent agent’s decisions and recommendations. This can be at the cost of increased workload and response time, although this has not been found by all studies. Prior studies have predominately focussed on route planning and navigation, and it is unclear if the benefits of agent transparency would apply to other tasks such as target identification. Method: Twenty seven participants were required to identify a number of tracks based on a set of identification criteria and the recommendation of an intelligent agent at three transparency levels in a repeated-measures design. The intelligent agent generated an identification recommendation for each track with different levels of transparency information displayed and participants were required to determine the identity of the track. For each transparency level, 70% of the recommendations made by the intelligent agent were correct, with incorrect recommendation due to additional information that the agent was not aware of, such as information from the ship’s radar. Participants’ identification accuracy and identification time were measured, and surveys on operator subjective workload and subjective trust in the intelligent agent were collected for each transparency level. Results: The results indicated that increased transparency information improved the operators’ sensitivity to the accuracy of the agent’s decisions and produced a greater tendency Agent Transparency for Intelligent Target Identification 33 to accept the agent’s decision. Increased agent transparency facilitated human-agent teaming without increasing workload or response time when correctly accepting the intelligent agent’s decision, but increased the response time when rejecting incorrect intelligent agent’s decisions. Participants also reported a higher level of trust when the intelligent agent was more transparent. Conclusion: This study shows the ability of agent transparency to improve performance without increasing workload. Greater agent transparency is also beneficial in building operator trust in the agent. Application: The current study can inform the design and use of uninhabited vehicles and intelligent agents in the maritime context for target identification. It also demonstrates that providing greater transparency of intelligent agents can improve human-agent teaming performance for a previously unstudied task and domain, and hence suggests broader applicability for the design of intelligent agents.

Повний текст джерелаThis review provides an initial assessment of the literature on smartphone reliance and the lack of good security behaviours displayed on smartphones within the general population. Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) is commonly used within information security contexts to investigate why someone might chose to engage in risky smartphone behaviour. There is theoretical support for PMT within both organisational and home settings. However, there is a lack of research within the PMT and smartphone context; therefore, an empirical investigation is warranted. Given the findings of this review, future research should examine user behaviour on smartphones across contexts.

Повний текст джерелаThe transition from military to civilian life can be challenging for many service members as they learn to cope with changes in their vocational and personal identity, relationships and differences in civilian workplace expectations. Compared with their civilian peers, veterans are more likely to exhibit greater mental health symptomology. The presence of mental health conditions has been found to exacerbate adjustment difficulties, impacting on civilian reintegration and employment outcomes. Further exploration of the facilitators and barriers impacting transition success is needed to better support our veterans.
