Generational sub-culturesMoss, Michelle Joan 04 1900 (has links)
The objective of this study was to determine (1) if there is a difference between Baby
Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y employees’ perceptions of organisational
culture and if so, (2) to determine if generational sub-cultures are formed within an
organisation as a result of these different perceptions. A quantitative research design
was chosen, and employees (n = 455) in a large South African information and
communication technologies (ICT) sector company, selected through proportionate,
random, stratified sampling, completed the South African Culture Instrument (SACI).
Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data, and the results of
this study indicate that generational sub-cultures can be identified in the
organisation, based on significantly different perceptions of five of the seven
dimensions of organisational culture examined. This study therefore contributes to
the body of knowledge on organisational culture and the formation of sub-cultures at
a generational level and can be used to enhance organisational talent and
management strategies. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M.Com. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)

Empowering young people through narrativeSteyn, Lynette 06 1900 (has links)
Dominant discourses on power, childhood and gender lead to power inequalities in social relationships in families and schools, allowing abuses of power (the subjugation and marginalisation of women and young people). These dominant structures of belief are often disrespectful of young people's experiences, stories and knowledges. This research attempted to respond to dilemmas in child relationships, to challenge belief structures that construct relationships between adults/young people, and to empower young people to stand up for their beliefs and make their voices heard. The research was guided by a post-modern, narrative pastoral approach. To deconstruct
discourses that restrict young people within social institutions, social construction discourse, feminist post-structuralism, narrative theology and feminist theology were used. Narrative practices were used to look at depression, guilt, trouble and anger. Re-authoring conversations were used to construct preferred stories about young people's identities and to explore alternative stories and the not-yet-said on drugs. / Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology (Pastoral Therapy))
