This thesis contends that the pastoral role is significant to the effective functioning and well-being of the church. Therefore, the initial selection of a pastor is a vital component and contributes to those desirable outcomes. The question being considered within this thesis is: What are the factors within a church hiring process which may play a role in successful or unsuccessful pastoral ministry? As there are many variables even within this process, the scope of this thesis is limited to the identification and selection of pastoral leadership from the perspective of the pastoral participants. This perspective is drawn from one denominational association in Ontario —the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptists (FEB hereafter) within the Central region of Canada. In examining this question, an empirical, mixed-methodology is used. The triangulation of a literature review, surveys, personal interviews and a biblical, theological treatment allowed for the most comprehensive perspective and treatment of the research question (Leedy, 2010, p. 99). There is a significant amount of inductive reasoning included, based upon personal interactions within cultural contexts and experiences. This is due to the inadequacy or lack of current theories and available literature relative to the question being studied. This motivates me towards the inclusion of a grounded theory methodology as a component of this study (Leedy, 2010, p. 142). Hiring the right pastor is a challenge at the best of times. As the church struggles to respond to a rapidly changing and diverse culture it presents greater challenges. Rates of pastoral turnover are high and the general duration of pastoral ministry is low. This, in turn, impacts ministry effectiveness. This study of hiring practices and pastoral experiences begins to identify elements as to why some pastors are successful and others are not. It allows for the reflection and consideration of whether the church is, what I have termed, “Equipping the Called, or Calling the Equipped”. There is cause for hope, as there always is within God’s church. This thesis identifies concerns, as well as some positive practices and experiences that can be helpful to inform practice and potential change. As Osmer acknowledges, “observing good practice in other congregations is a powerful source of normative guidance” (Osmer, 2008, p. 152). / Practical Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology)

Ce mémoire vise à évaluer les réformes consistant à encadrer le pouvoir de nomination que confère la prérogative royale au premier ministre. Notre étude s’inspire largement de l’institutionnalisme historique en science politique et des analyses en termes de « path dependency ». Selon cette approche, lorsque les décideurs amorcent une trajectoire de politique publique, leurs décisions subséquentes auront tendance à suivre la même direction. À partir des documents gouvernementaux et des transcriptions de comités parlementaires, ainsi que de l’exemple de la Grande-Bretagne, ce travail cherche à évaluer si les réformes visant à contraindre le pouvoir de nomination du premier ministre canadien ont suivi une trajectoire « path dependent ». Nos conclusions nous amènent plutôt à constater qu’en ce qui concerne les nominations, le Canada est plus monarchique que la Grande-Bretagne. Pour le Canada, l’impression générale qui se dégage à la fin de ce mémoire n’en est pas une de « path dependence » mais plutôt d’incrémentalisme disjoint. / This paper aims to assess the reforms that regulate the appointment power conferred by the Royal Prerogative to the Prime minister. Our study is largely based on historical institutionalism in political science and analysis in terms of “path dependency”. This theory argues that once policymakers begin a course of public policy, their subsequent decisions will follow the same direction. Based on governmental documents, transcripts of parliamentary committees and the example of Great Britain, this work seeks to assess whether the reforms to constrain the appointment power of the Prime Minister of Canada validates the “path dependence” approach. Our findings leads us rather to see that with regard to appointments, Canada is more monarchical than Great Britain. Our general conclusion is that the Canadian approach is not “path dependent” but can be better described as “disjointed incrementalism”.

Si le théâtre est le lieu de l’élaboration de la langue où le poète a naturellement sa place, force est de constater que l’auteur dramatique des années deux mille peine paradoxalement à trouver sa place dans le théâtre et la société de son temps. Confrontés à la frilosité institutionnelle, à la méfiance des publics et à une méconnaissance généralisée, les auteurs dramatiques actuels tentent de faire entendre leur voix et n’hésitent pas à revendiquer leurs droits auprès des instances publiques. Ce travail se propose de porter un regard actuel et transversal sur la place et la fonction de l’auteur dramatique, en le posant comme une entité humaine qui évolue dans un milieu artistique et social concret. Après avoir retracé le parcours de la figure de l’auteur et l’évolution de la conception du texte dramatique dans l’histoire du théâtre, notre principal intérêt portera sur les différents aspects qui composent aujourd’hui l’identité de l’auteur, qui définissent son profil socioculturel et qui déterminent sa place dans le théâtre. Nous nous pencherons tout d’abord sur l’image actuelle de l’auteur qui se présente comme un artiste combatif et comme un médiateur averti proche du public avant d’aborder la question de son statut professionnel. Nous nous focaliserons par la suite sur le phénomène récent du regroupement des auteurs dramatiques en collectif. L’étude de la place concrète et physique qu’occupe aujourd’hui l’auteur dans l’entreprise théâtrale, et surtout l’analyse des principaux modes de son intégration (direction-association) et des rapports qu’il entretient avec les autres partenaires de la création (metteur en scène, acteur, public) nous permettront de mesurer les avantages et les limites de sa présence au sein du théâtre. De même, la représentation de ses oeuvres dans le système théâtral subventionné, dans le théâtre privé et les compagnies amateurs, l’observation des structures, associations, festivals et manifestations divers qui mettent l’auteur de théâtre au centre de leur projet et enfin l’étude des différents moyens de diffusion et de valorisation (commandes, résidences, ateliers, comités de lecture) des écritures théâtrales contemporaines complèteront cette recherche. Dans un souci de dépasser le seul cadre théâtral, nous aborderons également la place qu’occupe actuellement l’auteur de théâtre dans l’espace médiatique, éditorial et scolaire. Enfin, l’exploration du geste d’écriture et l’analyse du processus de création des auteurs dramatiques, suivies par un aperçu des principales tendances esthétiques et formelles qui caractérisent les écritures contemporaines, offriront un nouveau regard sur la façon dont les auteurs conçoivent leur art et sur les moyens qu’ils déploient pour contribuer au renouvellement de l’écriture dramatique. / If the theatre is a place where a language in which the poet naturally belongs is created, we cannot avoid noting that the dramatist of the 2000's, paradoxically, is finding it hard to locate his place in the theatre and in the society of his time. Faced with institutional lukewarm support, with a distrusting public and a general lack of understanding of their role, the dramatists of today are trying to make their voices heard, and do not hesitate to demand that public bodies support their rights. This work proposes to concentrate on a cross-disciplinary examination of the place and function of the dramatist. It will do this by positing that he is a human entity that is evolving within a concrete artistic and social milieu. After tracing the trajectory of the authorial figure and the evolution of the concept of the dramatist in the history of the theatre, we will concentrate on the various aspects that today make up the identity of the author, that define his sociocultural profile, and that determine his place within the theatre. We will initially focus on the current image of the author seen as a combative artist and as an enlightened mediating figure who is close to his public. Then we will take on the question of the author's professional status. We will then concentrate on the recent phenomenon which presents dramatists as a collective group. The study of the concrete and physical place occupied today by authors in the theatre, and above all the analysis of the principal modes by which the author is integrated (directing-associating) and of the relationships he has with his partners in theatrical creativity (director, actor, public), these will allow us to measure the advantages and limits of his presence within the theatre. Likewise, the representation of his works in the context of subsidized theatre, in the context of private theatre and of amateur companies, the observance of the structures, associations, festivals and other demonstrations that put the dramatist at the centre of their projects, and finally the study of the different ways to propagate and valorize theatrical writing (command performances, resident artists, play reading committees, writing workshops), these will complete this research project. Given our determination to go beyond the world of theatre, we will also examine the current place occupied by the dramatist as a mediating, editorial and scholarly force. Finally, the study of the writing and the analysis of the creative processes of dramatists, followed by an overview of the esthetic and formal tendencies that characterize modern writing, will offer a new way of looking at the way in which authors view their art and will offer a new perspective on the ways in which they contribute to the renewal of dramatic writing.

A tendência de globalização dos ensaios clínicos, observada nos últimos anos, trouxe à tona questões antes não discutidas como a continuidade do tratamento com os medicamentos em investigação, após a conclusão da pesquisa. A inclusão de países em desenvolvimento nesses estudos traz consigo a preocupação com a vulnerabilidade dos participantes da pesquisa. No Brasil, há cerca de cinco anos, os Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa, CEP, e, particularmente, a Comissão Nacional de Ética em Pesquisa, CONEP, passaram a solicitar a manutenção do fornecimento do(s) medicamento(s) do estudo após sua finalização. Embora baseada nos principais documentos éticos que norteiam a pesquisa clínica, essa solicitação apresenta dificuldades práticas para implantação, principalmente no caso de doenças crônicas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as questões envolvidas na continuidade do fornecimento de medicamentos após a conclusão de ensaio clínico e analisar a perspectiva de atores que compõem o cenário da pesquisa clínica nacional. Questionários e respectivos Termos de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecidos, TCLE, foram enviados por correioeletrônico, entre outubro de 2009 e janeiro de 2010, a membros de CEPs (todos os CEPs credenciados pela CONEP naquela data), pesquisadores (em duas áreas terapêuticas, HIV/AIDS e Diabetes mellitus) e patrocinadores. Aos pesquisadores foi solicitado que aplicassem o questionário a seus pacientes de pesquisa. A taxa de resposta dos CEPs foi de 20,7% (124 responderam, de 599 questionários enviados), 20% para os pesquisadores (58 de 290) e 45,3% para os patrocinadores (24 de 53). Cinquenta e quatro pacientes convidados por seus médicos responderam. Com relação à informação contida no TCLE, o item menos informado é relativo a como obter o medicamento após o estudo, para todos os grupos pesquisados. Com relação à motivação dos pacientes ao participar de uma pesquisa, 96,2% dos pacientes responderam como \"muito importante\", na decisão, a busca de melhores cuidados médicos e atenção à própria saúde, e 94,2% o fato de colaborar para o desenvolvimento da ciência (altruísmo). Entretanto, os demais grupos entrevistados não pensam da mesma forma: para eles, a maior motivação dos pacientes, ao participar de pesquisas clínicas, é a busca de melhores cuidados médicos e atenção à sua saúde, seguido da busca pelo acesso a alternativas de tratamento para sua doença. Ao serem perguntados sobre quem deveria receber o medicamento em investigação após o estudo, os pacientes responderam que todas as pessoas deveriam receber o medicamento após o estudo (60,4%); entre os pesquisadores, a maior parte (43,1%) respondeu que o medicamento deveria ser fornecido às pessoas participantes do estudo e 39,7% deles responderam que o medicamento deveria ser fornecido às pessoas que se beneficiariam do medicamento em estudo. Já os representantes de CEP concordaram com os pacientes que todas as pessoas deveriam receber o medicamento, mas em proporção bem menor (35,3%). Os patrocinadores opinaram que o medicamento do estudo deveria ser fornecido aos participantes da pesquisa que dele se beneficiariam (50%). Houve consenso entre os grupos em que, havendo a continuidade do tratamento, este deveria ser fornecido pelo patrocinador e de forma gratuita. Ao responder a questão relativa a quanto tempo deveria o medicamento ser fornecido, pesquisadores e patrocinadores consideraram que o medicamento deveria ser fornecido até estar disponível na rede pública, enquanto que os membros de CEP, opinaram que isso deveria acontecer durante o período que o paciente fosse beneficiado. Os pacientes responderam que o benefício deveria ser mantido pela vida toda. Devido às várias limitações deste estudo (representatividade da amostra, população restrita a usuários da Internet), seus resultados podem não ser generalizados, mas podem contribuir para a discussão do tema, ao analisar os pontos de vista de vários atores do cenário da pesquisa clínica nacional. / The recent trend of globalization of clinical trials, observed in the last years, raised some non-previously discussed issues, such as the continuity of treatment after the conclusion of the study. The inclusion of developing countries in these trials brings together the concern with the participants\' vulnerability. In Brazil, about 5 years ago, the Ethics Committees (EC) and the National Commission of Ethics in Research (so called CONEP) started requiring the access to study medication after the trial ends. Even being based on the main documents related to ethics and research, some practical issues make this requirement difficult to implement, mainly in the arena of chronic diseases. The goal of this research was to identify the questions related to continuing the supply of the investigational medicine and analyze the perspective of all stakeholders involved in clinical research. Questionnaires and informed consents were sent through e-mail, between Oct 2009 and Jan 2010, to EC members (all ECs mentioned at CONEP site at that moment), clinical investigators (in two therapeutical areas, HIV/AIDS and Diabetes) and sponsors. We also asked the clinical investigators to submit the questionnaire (in paper) to their patients who already participated in clinical research. The response rate in each group was: 20.7% in EC members\' group (599 questionnaires sent, 124 replied), 20% in clinical investigators\' group (58 of 290) and 45.3% in sponsors\' group (24 of 53). Fifty four patients answered the questionnaire through their doctors. Regarding to the information displaced in the informed consent, the item less informed, according to all groups, was related to how to obtain the study medication after the conclusion of the trial. Concerning the motivation of patients which made them accept to participate in a clinical trial, 96.2% of patients answered as \"very important\" to obtain better health care and attention and 94.2% mentioned also as \"very important\" the possibility to collaborate with the progress of the science (altruism). However, among the other groups, the responses were different: for them, the major motivation for the patients would be to have access to better health care and attention (similar to patients) and search for access to treatment alternatives for their diseases. When asked to whom should be given the study medication after the trial, the patients answered that all patients should receive it (60.4%); for the clinical investigators, 43.1% believe that the medication should be given to the participants of the study and 39.7% to the subjects who participated and benefited from the study treatment. The EC members agreed (but to a lesser degree, 35.3%) with the patients that all individuals with the disease should receive the medication after the trial. For 50% of the sponsors, the study medication should be assured to the participants who had benefit from the treatment. In the case of need of access extension after the trial, a consensus could be observed among all groups, concerning to whom should provide the medication (the sponsor) and how (completely free). One question addressed the issue of how long the treatment should be assured after the trial: clinical investigators and sponsors replied that the medication should be kept until be available in the public health sector; the EC members thought it should be furnished while the patient keeps the benefit. The patients answered that the benefit should be assured for all life. Due to the several limitations of this research (such as the sample representativeness, population restrict to internet users), their results can\'t be generalized; however, the data can contribute to the discussion of this very complex topic through analyzing the views of the several stakeholders of the scenario of clinical research in Brazil.

The school effectiveness, the school's ability to deliver (produce results), and the improvement of the matriculation (Grade 12) results in the Limpopo Province has been a priority ever since the new democratic government took over in 1994. The Limpopo Province has always scored lower than all the other nine provinces in the country in the matriculation (Grade 12) results. Among the reasons given as contributing to this state of affairs, was the ineffective way of governing and administering schools. This research investigated the development of the school governing structures in the Limpopo Province. The focus was mainly on revealing the nature of the school governing structures that existed in the province and how those governing structures influenced the overall performance of the schools. The researcher found that the most suitable school governing structures for the Limpopo Province schools are those that will provide parents with more meaningful participation in the education of their children and will inculcate democracy in the governance of schools. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

To provide the basis that guide the investigation of these mechanisms of participation was undertaken a dogmatic study of the federal legislative process; investigation of how social participation is prescribed in the Constitution and Bylaws of the Legislative Houses, aiming to see how political participation is implemented in legislative procedures; besides the study of the relationship between representation and participation. For this were used the literature review, document analysis, data collection, case studies and interviews. According to the study the Committees facilitated social participation in the legislative process with regard to the disposal of part of the formal requirements that hamper the participation via Popular Initiative; besides expanding the types of legislative proposals that society can provide. However, these new mechanisms reproduced other limitations that the Popular Initiative has, in addition to disregard, in their structure, essential elements to achieve a legislative process effectively participatory, which are covered by the traditional institute, allowing then to say that the Committees are institutional innovations limited front of the institute of Popular Initiative. / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo verificar se as Comissões de Legislação Participativa da Câmara dos Deputados e do Senado Federal facilitaram a participação social no processo legislativo frente ao tradicional instituto da Iniciativa Popular de lei. Essa investigação será pautada pelo estudo dogmático do processo legislativo federal; pela investigação de como a participação social está prescrita na Constituição Federal e nos Regimentos Internos das Casas do Legislativo, visando constatar como a participação política se implementa no processo de produção legislativa; ademais do estudo sobre a relação entre representação e participação. Para tanto, foi utilizada revisão bibliográfica, análise documental, levantamento de dados, estudo de caso e entrevistas. A pesquisa realizada permite afirmar que as Comissões facilitaram a participação social na produção legislativa no que se refere à eliminação de parte dos requisitos formais que a obstaculizavam via Iniciativa Popular; além de ampliar o rol dos tipos de proposições legislativas que a sociedade pode apresentar. Entretanto, esses novos mecanismos reproduziram limitações que a Iniciativa Popular apresenta, ademais de desconsiderar na sua estruturação elementos essenciais à consecução de um processo legislativo efetivamente participativo, os quais são contemplados pelo instituto tradicional, permitindo, então, afirmar que as Comissões são inovações institucionais limitadas frente ao instituto da Iniciativa Popular.

In 1994, South Africa adopted intergovernmental relations (IGR) to facilitate service delivery. Sections 40-41 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, link service delivery with normative aspects of IGR, which include cooperation, transparency, accountability, mutual support, and coherence. A coherent implementation of IGR was subsequently emphasised by the Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act 13 of 2005. However, South Africa continues to experience service delivery challenges, especially in marginalised and poor communities in the current and former informal settlements. The selected Diepsloot was established as an informal settlement in 1995 and has been under an in situ upgrade programme. The study’s focus was on the provision of potable water in the City of Johannesburg with specific reference to Diepsloot. A case study approach was used to assess lived experiences among the actors within the intergovernmental context of cooperative government. A qualitative methodology was utilised to source data about intergovernmental interactions among actors from the public institutions by means of semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. Lastly, a focus group was utilised for members of the ward committees in Diepsloot. The study concluded that IGR system is not used adequately to support Diepsloot to access potable water in accordance with an established standard. In essence, the IGR system lacks an integrated approach to reverse a legacy of informality. To facilitate an IGR improvement, the study’s recommendations were three-fold: (i) provision of integrated support to the City of Johannesburg for Diepsloot despite erroneous assumption that metropolitan municipalities are self-sufficient, (ii) standardisation of potable water provision in Diepsloot by means of integrating IGR institutional responses, and (iii) institutionalisation of IGR engagements with other cities. To this end, the study proposed a model of integrated intergovernmental support to improve potable water provision and, by extension, other related services in Diepsloot. / Public Administration / D.P.L.

Abstract in Zulu, English and Afrikaans / This study examined the consequences of Principal-Agent and Corporate Governance interactions within South Africa’s FTSE/JSE Top40 listed companies from 2008 to 2016. The study’s objectives were to examine the prevalence of Principal-Agent and Corporate Governance problems, to ascertain potential costs of these problems, to establish their socio-economic consequences, and evaluate the effectiveness of the governance codes. The study is anchored in Principal-Agent theory. Mixed methods methodology was employed, specifically Concurrent and Exploratory Sequential Mixed Methods design logics. The main findings include that, 23.91% of sample companies experienced Principal-Agent and Corporate Governance problems- significantly exceeding the study’s expectations that negligible governance problems exist and reveals the pervasiveness of these problems; executive compensation plays a bigger role in exacerbating Principal-Agent and Corporate Governance problems than expected and often considered in governance mechanisms; multi-billion rands potential costs are ascribed to Principal-Agent and Corporate Governance problems incurred by principals; unjustifiable salary inequalities resulting in other inequalities that build social mistrust; and there is limited conviction that current governance codes are effective. This study’s contributions include; proposing an executive remuneration model that considers governance of the company in determining executive compensation; formulating a governance index calculated based on King III and King IV recommendations to standardise the measurement of the quality of governance in companies; the salary Gini was used to establish compensation gaps and red-flag potential Principal-Agent problems and flaws in governance systems; and used value at risk procedures to quantify potential Principal-Agent and Corporate Governance costs. The main theoretical implications of the study’s findings are; agency theory needs extension to capture socio-economic costs and not only focus on the principal; remuneration models should consider the executive’s company governance and social and economic egalitarianism; flexibility of ‘comply or explain’ should subordinate socio-economic consequences, suggesting a hybrid approach which makes certain governance code provisions compulsory; and finally, behavioural finance theories should be used in governance research for better insights. / Lolu cwaningo lwacubungula futhi lwahlolisisa imiphumela yokuxhumana phakathi kwesimo seNhloko ne-Ejenti, i-Principal-Agent, (lapho umuntu eqoka omunye ukuba athathe izinqumo kanye/noma izinyathelo egameni lakhe) nokuPhathwa nokuLawulwa Kwenkampani, ezinkampanini ezingama-40 ebezikleliswe phezulu ohlwini lwe-FTSE/JSE eNingizimu Afrika kusukela ngowezi-2008 kuya kowezi-2016.

Die oogmerke was om die voorkoms van probleme met hoofagent- en korporatiewe regering te ondersoek; die moontlike koste en die sosio-ekonomiese gevolge daarvan te bepaal; en die doeltreffendheid van die regeerkodes te evalueer. Hierdie studie berus op die hoofagentteorie. Gemengde metodes is as metodologie gebruik, in die besonder gelyklopende en verkennende, opeenvolgende metodes. Die belangrikste bevindings is dat 23,91% van steekproefmaatskappye probleme met hoofagent- en korporatiewe regering ondervind. Dit is beduidend hoër as die persentasie wat verwag is, en ʼn aanduiding van hoe diepgaande hierdie probleme is. Die vergoeding van uitvoerende beamptes is ʼn groter oorsaak van die probleme met hoofagent- en korporatiewe regering as wat verwag is en waarvoor in regeermeganismes voorsiening gemaak word. Die potensiële koste, wat miljarde rande beloop, word gewyt aan die probleme met hoofagent- en korporatiewe regering wat prinsipale hulle op die hals haal. Onregverdigbare salarisverskille lei tot ongelykheid wat sosiale wantroue wek. Hierbenewens is daar bedenkinge oor die doeltreffendheid van die huidige regeerkodes. Die bydrae van hierdie studie behels ʼn vergoedingsmodel vir uitvoerende beamptes wat korporatiewe regering in ag neem. Hierdie studie formuleer ʼn regeerindeks wat op King III- en King IV-aanbevelings berus, en die meting van die gehalte van korporatiewe regering standaardiseer. Verskille in vergoeding, potensiële rooivlag-hoofagentprobleme en gebreke in regeerstelsels is met behulp van die salaris-gini bepaal. Waarde-op-risikoprosedures is gebruik om die potensiële koste van hoofagent- en korporatiewe regering te kwantifiseer. Die belangrikste teoretiese implikasie van die bevindings is dat die agentskapsteorie uitgebrei moet word sodat die sosio-ekonomiese koste vasgestel word, en daar nie alleen op die hoofsom gekonsentreer word nie. Afgesien hiervan moet vergoedingsmodelle rekening hou met ʼn uitvoerende beampte se korporatiewe regering en met maatskaplike en ekonomiese egalitarisme. Voorts moet die sosio-ekonomiese gevolge ondergeskik wees aan die buigsaamheid van “voldoen of verduidelik”. Dit impliseer ʼn hibridiese benadering wat die bepalings van sekere regeerkodes verpligtend maak. Ten slotte behoort finansieringsgedragteorieë in regeernavorsing aangewend te word om groter insig te verkry. / Business Management / D. Phil. (Management Studies (Finance))
