Workplace bullying : the employee health and wellness response of a provincial department in the Limpopo Province / Patricia Theresa BanyiniBanyini, Patricia Theresa January 2011 (has links)
Workplace bullying has become the most serious contemporary issue that negatively affects
organisations socially and economically. Today organisations are faced with the financial
burden associated with high staff turnover, absenteeism, low morale, high medical costs and
poor performance resulting from bullying in the workplace. Therefore, organisations are
focusing on ways and means to address this particular problem.
The aim of the study was to explore the subjective experiences of employees regarding
workplace bullying and the response of the employee health and wellness section of the
Limpopo provincial Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism. This
research was also prompted by the challenges the researcher faced as social worker in the
Employee Health and Wellness office of said department. The lack of South African
research and literature studies on bullying and the response by the public sector also
motivated the researcher to conduct the study.
The exploratory paradigm was utilised in this study, since limited information was available
on the nature and extent of bullying as well as on the response of Employee Health and
Wellness office at a provincial department in the Limpopo province. The qualitative research
approach was utilised in this study, and questionnaires were used to collect data needed for
the project. A purposive sampling method was used to select suitable respondents for the
study. Utilising questionnaires, the researcher interviewed 19 employees who had
experienced bullying in the department.
The research revealed that all of the respondents in the sample had experienced bullying and
received support from the departmental Employee Health and Wellness section. Most
respondents had a high regard for employee health and wellness services as means of support
to cope during difficult times in their careers. The research findings, however, also indicated
that some respondents sought help from outside. The study also revealed that more effort
should be focused on implementing employee health and wellness programmes as
preventative approach. It is further recommended that employee health and wellness
programmes should be pro-actively applied to include educational workshops and awareness programmes on the impact of workplace bullying and its associated economical and
psychological implications on both the organisation and the individual in order to prevent it. / Thesis (MSW)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012

Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree
Magister Technologiae: Public Management
in the Faculty of Business
at the
Cape Peninsula University of Technology
2013 / Service delivery is one of the key aspects of public and private organisations. It is therefore important for organisations to have a Performance Management System in place to monitor and evaluate the efficiency of its employees. A good Performance Management System sets a standard that determines whether an employee’s performance is of merit or has shortcomings. Furthermore it will aid the employee in being proficient in his\her work environment.
This research project examined the effectiveness of the Performance Management System used within the Department of Economic Development and Tourism in the Western Cape, South Africa. Problems encountered by employees were identified by the researcher and recommendations were forwarded to the employees on how to improve the Department’s Performance Management System.
The researcher undertook a quantitative research approach by administering a closed-ended questionnaire which was analysed by a registered statistician. The study found that most of the participants understood the Performance Management System used by the Department of Economic Development and Tourism. Furthermore the majority of participants understood their role within the Department and how they could meet the Department’s strategic objectives as set out in the Department’s annual performance plans..à h.

The challenges that are facing the assest management unit in the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET), South AfricaRamosebudi, Sewela Magreth January 2015 (has links)
Thesis (MBA.) -- University of Limpopo, 2015 / The Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism is mandated
to focus on growing the provincial economy, empowering women and youth, on
supporting small businesses and co-operatives and improving the lives of the people
of the province for the better as indicated in the Limpopo Economic Development,
Environment and Tourism Province Budget Vote (2015/16). Economic growth and
social wellbeing are closely tied to the ability to protect the natural environment.
Mining, electricity generation and agriculture are among the economic activities that
have a direct impact on the environment and need to be carried out in a sustainable
and responsible manner.
Towards this vision, the assets which are furniture, transport, computer hardware
and other machinery and equipment need to be managed efficiently and effectively
in order to fulfil the needs of society and the departments. These assets represent an
enormous value for the owner which is LEDET and for society at large. To grasp the
full potential of these assets, a deep and thorough understanding of an asset’s
complete lifetime is needed. However, the assets especially physical assets, public
buildings and infrastructures are not managed properly and that results in numerous
challenges and audit queries that are raised by the Auditor General.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges that are facing the asset
management unit of Limpopo Department of Economic Development & Tourism
(LEDET). Asset Management has been hailed as important in order to enable
government to deliver proper services to the citizens of the country. This has
encouraged the researcher to undertake the study in order to add more knowledge
on the asset management process of the government, looking at the challenges and
possible solutions.
The need for this study was considered relevant and necessary as government
departments and other private sectors face numerous challenges in implementing
the asset management. Limpopo Department of Economic Development,
Environment and Tourism, as a case study, faces challenges in fulfilling some of its
mandate due to lack of support from asset management activities. In terms of its
strategic plan, the department seeks to address issues relating to economic growth,
the promotion and development of tourism and using environmental management to
guide and monitor sustainable development in the province. These challenges have
negative implications on the delivery of services to the communities it serves.
In this study, the researcher investigated the following: demographic profile of
respondents, challenges facing asset management, the impact of asset
management on service delivery and lastly the best practice on the implementation
of asset management. Data were analysed into themes and revealed
communication, training, interpretation of relevant prescripts, limited resources,
proper allocation of resources and effective participation of relevant stakeholders as,
amongst others, challenges to the process.
The study concluded by providing recommendations to management of the Limpopo
Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism on how to
improve the asset management activities to achieve the strategic goals of the
department. The recommendations proposed are improved communications with
stakeholders, development of asset plan, skills capacity of asset management
officials and sourcing the asset information system that integrates with the financial
system to provide a reliable asset register. / LEDET (Limpopo Department of Economic Development & Tourism)

The AIDS epidemic affects the capacity of the South African public service to deliver essential services. In response, the Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism in Limpopo implemented its HIV/AIDS workplace policy in 2003. This research evaluated the extent to which resources were allocated towards the implementation of the workplace policy, to effectively respond to the impacts of HIV/AIDS on the workplace.
A combined quantitative and qualitative approach was used. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews of 43 officers involved in the implementation of the workplace policy, using a semi-structured questionnaire.
The results indicated that the resources allocated for the workplace HIV/AIDS policy, namely budget, human resources and materials, were inadequate, with district offices being worse affected. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS)
