Kartläggning av kompetensutvecklingskultur ur ett medarbetarperspektiv : En kvantitativ studie om hur personer som arbetar med kompetensutveckling upplever sin egen kompetensutvecklingSaindrenan, Céline January 2016 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka och kartlägga hur medarbetarna på ett företag som arbetar med kompetensutveckling resonerar kring sin egen kompetensutveckling, detta i relation till företagets kompetensutvecklingskultur. De två formulerade frågorna är; Hur ser företagets kompetensutvecklingskultur ut ur medarbetarnas perspektiv samt Hur ser medarbetarnas individuella kompetensutvecklingskultur ut ur medarbetarnas perspektiv. Studien gjordes i samverkan med ett företag och studiens empiri bygger på en enkätundersökning med 69 konsulter som arbetar på olika enheter inom företaget. Den teoretiska referensramen består av Bryk och Schneiders teori om relationell tillit och Wermkes teori om kompetensutvecklingskultur. Studien utgår från tidigare forskning som behandlar kompetensutvecklingskultur ur ett kontextuellt sammanhang samt hur lärande kan beskrivas som en dynamisk process som oavbrutet förändrar individers sätt att tänka, deras uppfattningar och intellektuella förmågor utifrån deras kulturella och sociala kontext. Tidigare forskning berör även hur avgörande förståelsen för såväl den historiska som den konceptuella kontexten är för att skapa tillit inför olika val av källor för kompetensutveckling hos lärare samt forskning som visar på ett starkt statistiskt samband mellan ökad akademisk produktivitet och tillit. Ur resultatet kan utläsas att medarbetarna upplevde att de i hög utsträckning själva tog initiativ till sin kompetensutveckling och att beslutet om kompetensutveckling i hög utsträckning fattades tillsammans med en överordnad. Vidare framkommer det ur resultatet att tilliten på företaget generellt är hög. Dessutom tyder resultaten med några få undantag på att det finns en stark kompetensutvecklingskultur på företaget som grundar sig på idén att det finns en gemensam professionell kultur bland de anställda och att de har gemensamma uppfattningar om hur kompetensutveckling äger rum på företaget.

Effects Of Parenting On Adult Development And GenerativityKaracan, Eda 01 July 2007 (has links) (PDF)
This study examined Erikson&rsquo / s proposition that &ldquo / generativity&rdquo / plays an important role in adult lives and caring for one' / s children is the ultimate expression of this particular developmental task. Thus, the general goal of the current study is to explore the connection between parental experiences and individual development especially generativity development in mid-adulthood within both qualitative and quantitative studies. Qualitative examination attempted to record the midlife parent experiences in order to verify the existence of parental generativity themes. This study conducted within a retrospective semi-structured interview schedule with 13 mothers and 10 fathers aged 37 to 61. All parents had at least one child at 17 or older. Overall, the results revealed that the most important theme of life for most of the midlife adults was parenthood. However, mothers&rsquo / role identities with respect to maternal role were much more stronger than fathers&rsquo / . The qualitative part of the present study contributes further to understanding of the connections between the perception of parental role, parents&rsquo / active involvement in childrearing, and adult development. In the quantitative study, the importance of parental behaviors in adult development and generativity both for females and males were tested within a proposed model. In the proposed model, both direct and indirect relationships between general well-being, marital satisfaction, self perception of the parental role, parental belief, parental involvement and societal generativity in gender-differentiated groups of mid adulthood were examined. 274 females and 207 males who were in a work settings participated in this study. The results with Lisrel analyses revealed that perceived parental role and more strongly parental involvement which were determined by parents&rsquo / marital satisfaction, categoric belief, perspectivistic belief (but not for male sample) and general psychological well-being (but not for female sample) predicted the societal generativity and played some important mediating roles in the model. Both mothers&rsquo / and fathers&rsquo / parenting were related to societal generativity. Therefore, the direct influences of parental experiences on generativity indicate that parenting contributes to one&rsquo / s sense of caring for the next generation or generativity development.

In Taiwan area, it has become a rule that the national identity cards of all population are changed every 10 years. The fifth comprehensive change of national identity cards was implemented from Dec. 21, 2005 to Dec. 31, 2006. The government institutions of different cities and counties (municipal) under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior positively conducted national propaganda of the important news through the strong promotion of the change of identity cards by various means of mass media. First of all, the study investigates promotion strategies and procedures of the change of national identity cards in Taiwan, and then studies the promotion situation of the services for people, and further investigates how to strengthen the use of marketing ideas to achieve the goal of offering services for people.
In view of this, the study reviews the related literature about the development procedures of the household registration system of Taiwan. Through the understanding of the situation and problems of the current use of new national identity cards, as well as the necessity of the change of national identity cards, the study focuses on marketing strategies to adopt SWOT analysis of trend and use questionnaire survey to make proof analysis and review. The study examines the effects and improvement measures of the government for execution of public domains, and provides the following research conclusions and suggestions for the Ministry of Interior and other government institutions as a reference for innovative promotion of public policies:
1. It is not easy to promote relationship marketing of the first line household registration institutions.
2. Important project work relatively needs the increase of reasonable and proper budget for promotion.
3. Strengthen the innovative development culture of household registration organization, and cultivate the overall marketing team.
4. A sound evaluation mechanism should be established for the marketing of public policies
5. Although the promotion of comprehensive change of national identity cards used different marketing channels, measures should still be strengthened on how to integrate different communication tools effectively.
6. Strengthen the public¡¦s rights of their awareness of the use of identity cards. The government has the responsibility and obligation to teach the public use of identity cards.
The conclusions made by the study are that national identity card system is not a system that has to be existed in all countries. Each country can determine the necessary of offering identity cards to the citizens according to the country¡¦s idea of system. Under the national identity card system constructed in Taiwan, the nature of national identity card is to ¡§prove¡¨ that a citizen possesses the archive of his/her nationality. It also refers that national identity card is a document that cites the nationality relationship between a citizen of his/her country. Under this system, all the citizens of Taiwan are obliged to collect their national identity cards, and have the rights to ask for offering them. Therefore, the people of Taiwan should be cautious about the importance, safekeeping and use of national identity cards. The government should more positively bear the responsibility of strengthening the concept of ruling by laws because the maintenance of social stability depends on the people¡¦s practices and compliance with laws.
Keywords: national identity card, household registration system, SWOT analysis of trend, relationship marketing, development culture, public policy marketing, national identity card system, concept of ruling by laws

Towards effective participation of chiefs in Ghana’s decentralization process: the case of Wenchi DistrictTaabazuing, Joseph 10 1900 (has links)
This study explores the interactive process between decentralized structures and traditional authorities in Wenchi district, with a view to generating lessons and insights that can guide the recommendation of a more appropriate decentralization framework to tap the strengths of traditional authorities towards accelerated rural development. Within the framework of action research methodology, mixed-methods were used to triangulate findings and enhance research rigour. Specific methods employed were focus group discussions (FGDs), in-depth interviews (IDIs), and observation, complemented by context analyses of relevant documents. It was found that the interactive processes between traditional authorities and decentralized structures are characterized mainly by competition for power and legitimacy, leading to mistrust and an inability to take advantage of the synergy effect between the two systems of local governance in accomplishing accelerated rural development. Key recommendations are that traditional authorities should not be fused with the decentralized structures, but should remain as countervailing institutions to check the misuse of power by the decentralized structures. However, traditional authorities should be given the ceremonial role of the right to address meetings of the District Assembly and the Area Councils. Additionally, chiefs should be given the chance to nominate at least two people onto the Unit Committees. / Development Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Development Studies)
