Using a national probability sample of approximately 1,000 Mexican American heads of household, we analyze a subsample of 253 Mexican American male wage earners and present evidence of the importance of phenotype, measured by skin color and physical features, on earnings, controlling for other factors known to affect earnings. Even after controlling these variables, individuals with a dark and Native American phenotype continue to receive significantly lower earnings than individuals of a lighter and more European phenotype. A decomposition of differences in earnings reveals that most of the differential in earnings between the darkest one-third of the sample and the lighter two-thirds is due not to differences in endowments but rather to labor market discrimination. When taken as a whole, Mexican Americans in all phenotypic groups remain far from having incomes comparable to those of non-Hispanic whites.

Uppsatsen undersöker situationen på arbetsmarknaden för personer med funktionsnedsättning och arbetsgivares vilja att anställa personer med funktionsnedsättning genom förmedlares uppfattningar. Genom att intervjua förmedlare som arbetar särskilt med att få ut funktionsnedsatta på arbetsmarknaden har det gått att få en uppfattning om situationen. Förmedlarna utgör länken mellan personer med funktionsnedsättning och arbetsgivaren och har möjlighet att uppfatta båda perspektiven. Undersökningen strävar också att ta reda på vilka metoder förmedlarna använder för att påverka arbetsgivares anställningsbenägenhet och funktionsnedsattas anställningsbarhet. För att förklara hur förmedlarnas subjektiva uppfattningar är en del av en allmän kunskap om funktionsnedsatta användes Berger och Luckmanns Kunskapssociologi (1979). Det teoretiska perspektivet ger också en förklaring hur förmedlarnas erfarenheter, från att arbeta med funktionsnedsattas arbetsmarknadssituation, leder till ny kunskap som kan förändra människors uppfattningar. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att personer med funktionsnedsättning, särkskilt de med dolda funktionsnedsättningar som också har nedsatt arbetsförmåga, har en svårare situation på arbetsmarknaden än andra människor. Orsaken till det kan förklaras utifrån en bristande kunskap om funktionsnedsättningar hos olika aktörer på arbetsmarknaden men också de strukturella villkor som råder där och i samhället. / The paper examines, through the intermediary perceptions, the labour market situation of people with disabilities and employers' willingness to hire persons with disabilities. By interviewing intermediaries who work specifically with getting the disabled into the labour market, it has been possible to get an idea of ​​the situation. Intermediaries are the link between people with disabilities and employers and are able to perceive both perspectives. The investigation has also applied the methods intermediaries use to influence an employer’s employment propensity and disabled people’s employability. To explain how intermediaries’ subjective perceptions are part of a general knowledge of disabilities was Berger and Luck Mann's Sociology of Knowledge (1979) used. The theoretical perspective also explains how intermediaries’ experiences, from working with disabled people's labour market situation, may lead to new knowledge that changes people's perceptions.  The surveys result show that people with disabilities, in particular those with hidden disabilities who also have less capacity to work, have a more difficult situation on the labour market than other people. The reason for this can be explained by a lack of knowledge about disabilities of different actors in the labour market but also by the structural conditions which exists there and in the community.

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration in Project Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018. / Much debate has been going on about the ability of women to lead in the large organisations around the country. The call for women to be given senior leadership positions appears to have run global as more and more women seek to get into powerful positions. Whilst the population of women is generally higher than that of men, women still remain in small numbers relative to men getting the positions. Research findings do not seem to have agreed on generalisations as to why women remain in few numbers even where they are in the majority. The hotel industry, the nursing field, etc. even in such establishments the number of women in leadership has remained low. Many theories have been advanced, including the allegation that men prefer male leaders to female leaders, women cannot stand pressure in the boardroom, and men stand on the progress of women in organisations. The researcher decided on getting information from subordinates in the organisation on their perception of good leadership as perceived by them. The questions were derived from existing theory on women leaders’ characteristics and standard behaviour for effective leadership. The respondents measured from the Likert scale their perception about certain characteristics deemed to be the strengths of women. This was done to avoid using gender as this would influence some responses to the questions. The findings indicate that not all ‘feminine’ positive attributes are necessarily accepted as leading competencies with some of the male characteristics considered ‘abhor able.’ Convenience sampling, which is a non-probabilistic sampling method, was used in this research study. The benefits of this method are that the individuals are readily available and are easy to recruit. It was easier to distribute the questionnaires to the sample by means of e-mails and clarify issues as they arose.

The purpose of this study was to empirically examine two empirically examine two main areas of concern in selecting criteria for validation studies: the development of the criterion and the multiple criteria versus composite criterion debate. Evidence was found for the ability of the various weighting schemes used to generate composites that were statistically and conceptually different from one another. Knowledge of the nature of each composite, along with the multiple criteria approach, proved essential to understanding the composite criterion to the validation process. Selection and treatment of the criterion apparently consist of judgment and individual estimations.
