Golembiewski, Billingsly, and Yeager (1976) conceptualized three distinct types of change that might result from development interventions, called alpha, beta, and gamma change. Recent research has found that beta and gamma change do occur as hypothesized, but the phenomena are somewhat infrequent and the precise conditions under which they occur have not been established. This study used confirmatory factor analysis and item response theory to identify gamma and beta change on a multidimensional, multisource managerial performance appraisal instrument and to examine relations among the change types, training program content, and raters' implicit theories of performance. Results suggested that coverage in training was a necessary but not sufficient condition for beta and gamma change to occur. Further, although gamma change was detected only in the trainee group, beta change was detected in self-ratings from trainees and in ratings collected from their superiors. Because trainees' superiors were involved in post-training follow-up, this finding was interpreted as a possible diffusion of treatments effect (Campbell & Stanley, 1963). Contrary to expectations, there were no interpretable relations between raters' implicit theories of performance and either of the change types. Perhaps relatedly, more implicit theory change was detected among individuals providing observer ratings than in the trainees themselves. The implications of these findings for future research on plural change were discussed. / Ph. D.

The factors that hinder or help the development of emotionally competent behaviour in leaders appear to be varied and complex. The role of personality variables such as personality preferences and self-esteem in influencing the development and demonstration of emotional competent behaviour has not yet been well researched. The general aim of this research was to investigate whether a relationship exists between personality preferences, self-esteem and emotional competence, and to determine whether the variables personality preferences and self-esteem can predict the demonstration of emotional competence. Personality preferences were studied from the Analytical Psychology paradigm. Jung's Psychological Types and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator theory of Personality Types provided a theoretical understanding of individual differences in emotional response behaviour. Based on the Humanistic and Social Psychology paradigms, the construct self-esteem was explored from a multi-dimensional perspective with particular emphasis on individuals' self-evaluative views and feelings of self-worth, self-acceptance, sense of belonging and sense of psychological well-being within the particular socio-cultural domain in which these aspects manifest themselves. Emotional competence was studied from the paradigmatic perspectives of the Cognitive Social Learning theories. Emotional competence was viewed as the workplace application of emotional intelligence abilities, which are developable and can be learned. In this regard, emotional competence was described as the demonstration of self-efficacious behaviour in emotion-eliciting social transactions. Emotional competence implies a sense of psychological well-being (a positive inner state of being) and an ability to skillfully, creatively and confidently adapt in an uncertain, unstructured and changing socio-cultural environment. An empirical investigation was conducted to analyse the responses of a randomly selected sample of 107 South African leaders in the manufacturing industry to measures of these three constructs. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Culture-free Self-esteem Inventories for Adults (CFSEI-AD), and the 360° Emotional Competency Profiler (ECP) were administered. The MBTI extraverted-thinking and extraverted-intuitive personality preferences were associated with the CFSEI-AD social, general and total self-esteem scales. In terms of the ECP emotional competence self-evaluations, self-motivation was associated with the MBTI extraverted-judging, extraverted-thinking and extraverted-intuitive preferences, while interpersonal relations was associated with the extraverted-intuitive and extraverted-feeling preferences. The MBTI introverted-sensing, introverted-judging and introverted-thinking preferences were associated with the ECP emotional literacy scale, and the introverted-judging, introverted-sensing and introverted-thinking preferences were associated with interpersonal relations in terms of the emotional competence other evaluations. The MBTI introverted-thinking preference was associated with the ECP self-esteem/self-regard other evaluations and the CFSEI-AD personal self-esteem scale. The ECP total emotional competence scale was associated with the MBTI extraverted-intuitive preference (in terms of the self-evaluations) and the introverted-judging and introverted-thinking preferences in terms of total emotional competence other evaluations. The CFSEI-AD general, personal and total self-esteem scales were associated with the ECP change resilience, self-motivation, self-esteem/self-regard, interpersonal relations and total emotional competence scales. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the ECP emotional competence construct is closely related to the affective component of the CFSEI-AD self-esteem construct, particularly one's sense of psychological well-being which is related to feelings of self-worth. The empirical results confirmed the effect of self-esteem on the self-evaluations of raters exposed to multi-rater assessments such as the 360° Emotional Competency Profiler, namely that self-raters with very high self-esteem may tend to over-inflate their self-evaluations. The CFSEI-AD total self-esteem scale also appears to be a more reliable predictor of emotional competence than the MBTI personality preferences. The results contributed new knowledge about the relationship between individuals' self-esteem, personality preferences and emotional competence and added perspective on the interpretation of individuals' self-ratings, particularly with regard to 360° emotional competence assessments. Recommendations for Industrial and Organisational Psychology practices regarding leader development are formulated, as well as recommendations for future research in the field. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / D.Litt. et Phil.

L'objectif principal de la thèse est de montrer les apports de l'évaluation contextualisée à l'évaluation de l'intelligence chez les adolescents.e.s, à travers cinq articles. Le premier fait l'état des lieux de l'évaluation contextualisée de l'intelligence. Le second développe les évaluations auto et hétéro-rapportées de l'intelligence. Les trois suivants rendent compte des apports d'outils d'évaluation contextualisée notamment en termes de preuve de validité. Seul le facteur de raisonnement fluide du questionnaire d'auto-évaluation prédit les résultats scolaires. Les liens avec le comportement adaptatif existent, notamment avec le facteur de vitesse de traitement du questionnaire (r=.69). Les questionnaires d'hétéro-évaluations entretiennent des liens modérés à forts avec les résultats scolaires. Enfin, pour le test de performance composé de sept subtests, seule une épreuve (intelligence cristallisée) corrèle positivement et significativement avec la moyenne scolaire générale (r=.42); et trois avec le comportement adaptatif (corrélations néanmoins faibles). Les résultats et implications de ces résultats sont discutés dans la conclusion et une ouverture sur la réalité virtuelle est proposée. / The main objective of the thesis is to show the contributions of the contextualized evaluation to the evaluation of the intelligence of teenagers, through five articles. The first takes stock of the contextualized evaluation of intelligence. The second develops self and hetero-reported assessments of intelligence. The following three report the contributions of contextualized evaluation tests, particularly in terms of proof of validity. Only the fluid reasoning factor of the self-report questionnaire predicts school results. The links with adaptive behavior exist, notably with the processing speed factor of the questionnaire (r = .69). Hetero-assessment questionnaires have moderate to strong links to school performance. Finally, for the performance test composed of seven subtests, only one subtest (crystallized intelligence) correlates positively and significantly with school results (r = .42); and three with adaptive behavior (yet weak correlations). The results and implications of these results are discussed in the conclusion and an opening on virtual reality is proposed.

The aims of this study to reveal (1) the description of characteristic vocational teacher, (2) the criterion competency, (3) the account of important competency, (4) the description of actual competency performance, (5)the identification of competency gaps, (6) the determination of training priority order, (7) the recommendations regarding with training methods and training organizerThis study employed a mixed method with exploratory sequential combination. The research subjects comprised the Vocational Technical Teachers with ICT expertise program especially for Network and Computer Engineering expertise competence. This study devised competency needs for training program incorporating Training Needs Analysis. The data were collected through FGD, questionnaires and an interview guide. The data were analysed using Fuzzy Delphi method to determine criterion competency by screening process. Analytic Hierarchy Process method was conducted for determining the important competency. 360-degree rater as evaluation teaching performance. Importance Performance Analysis diagram were used for describing the competency gaps. The determination of Training Priority Order based on quadrant in IPA diagram. The results of this study showed that: (1) Vocational teachers from multiple expertise program are still lack of ICT knowledge and practice mastery especially in network engineering field because they had no ICT educational background. They still look confused and nervous in teaching and practicing in front of the class. (2) criterion competency consists of pedagogy-andragogy aspect with 11 domain areas and 34 sub-domain, professional aspect with 3 domain areas and 7 sub-domain, vocational aspect with 3 domain areas and 8 sub-domain and technology aspect with 4 domains. (3) the order of importance in terms of competency aspect is pedagogy-andragogy with weight of 0.466, vocational around 0.300, professional with weight of 0.172, technology approximately 0.063. (4) the lowest performance in pedagogy-andragogy aspect is ability in guidance and supervision internship program with 3.19 total performance, Whereas in professional aspect is the competency in application of vocational content with 3.35 total performance, in vocational aspect is competency in networking and collaboration with 2.82 total performance and In technology aspect is ability using and utilizing ICT for self-development with 3.56 total performance. (5) the competency gaps fall into the vocational knowledge & skills, application of content, content knowledge, networking and collaboration, continuing professionalism development and entrepreneurship. (6) TPO based on competencies needs has described in IPA diagram most of training needs is located in vocational and professional aspect. (7) In House Training, specific training, and short courses training were recommended as effective training methods.

Der Ausbruch der COVID-19-Pandemie und die dadurch erforderlichen Maßnahmen zur räumlichen Distanzierung haben den Umfang des Einsatzes von digital gestützten Lehr- und Lernformen in der beruflichen Weiterbildung schlagartig erhöht (z.B. Seyda, 2021). Um die Präsenzanteile von Weiterbildungsangeboten weitmöglich zu minimieren, werden synchrone (wie z.B. Online-Seminare per Videokonferenz) oder asynchrone Formate (wie etwa Web-Based Trainings zur individuellen Bearbeitung) genutzt. Erstere betten den Lernprozess zwar stärker sozial ein und begegnen damit einem häufig benannten Kritikpunkt an digital gestützten Lernformaten (z.B. Belaya, 2018; Walber, 2015). Sie stellen jedoch auch vergleichsweise hohe Anforderungen an die digitale Infrastruktur (wie etwa die Internet-Bandbreite) der Bildungsinstitutionen und Lernenden. Virtuelle 360-GradLernräume verkörpern eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit, um beiden Anforderungen gleichermaßen zu begegnen. In diesem Beitrag wird die didaktische Konzeption und technische Umsetzung eines solchen Lernraums im Rahmen eines Anwendungsfalls beschrieben. Vorab erfolgt eine Definition und Differenzierung von virtuellen Lernräumen. Im Anschluss wird ein Ausblick auf die Erprobung des entwickelten Lernraums gegeben. ...
