The primary focus of this research is to explore the disharmony between the temporary and permanent organisation forms where integration is required to further business objectives. Organisational dynamics and cultures are included as significant factors in the study. The researcher posits that disharmony, or tension, exits between these two organisation forms, specifically, the project management fraternity and the fraternity of the permanent organisation. From this disharmony arises a dichotomous paradox that incumbers the seamless coexistence between the two organisation forms. This study, therefore, investigates the institutionalisation of the management of temporary organising through an understanding of the level of an organisation's execution of projects and proposes a construct aimed at addressing the phenomenon of dynamic imbalance to the appropriate level. It set out to: gain an understanding that enlightens the suspected dynamic imbalance, explore the extent to which the research problem exists, gain an understanding of the dynamics of assimilation between temporary and permanent organising, explore the harmonies that could enrich closer collaboration between temporary and permanent organising, given the acquired result, to analyse deficiencies, and construct a theoretical framework that constitutes the end state. A literature review explored challenges in project execution and the relationship with project management maturity. A Qualitative Ethnographic study was conducted within the temporary and permanent organising communities to explore the posit and to develop appropriate solution proposals. As informed by the literature review, and per Actor-Network Theory, this relationality within and between the actants within the two organisation types was investigated. Actor-Network Theory was used as the theoretical lens to explore what changes could be instituted to enhance goal achievement of both the permanent and the temporary structures by investigating material-semiotic relationships in a network context. From the information gained in the literature review and personal experience included in the study, an appreciation emerged from where the disharmony and the contributing factors were better understood. The insight gained from the research provided the setting for the development of a framework to be used during the co-existence of the temporary and permanent structures. This framework could mitigate the effects of the dynamic imbalances as experienced under the status quo.

It has become increasingly apparent that the topic of marital conflict has been given “special status” within the published literature on issues of marriage (Bradbury, Rogge, & Lawrence, 2001; Fincham, 2003). The question has been raised as to whether or not there are other constructs that deserve comparable attention. The present study argues for a closer look at an additional emerging construct, emotional intimacy, and its role in couples’ relationships. Much of the literature on overt conflict and emotional intimacy fails to make an adequate distinction between these two constructs. The present study proposed to derive two factor scales from the Marital Satisfaction Inventory-Revised, Disaffection and Disharmony. Basic psychometric properties of these scales were examined using multiple data sets. Implications were examined for understanding underlying components of relationship distress in both community and clinic couples, and results provided support for the use of the revised factor scales in both clinical and research applications.

<p>Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) has been a topic of discussion since the dawn of democracy in April 1994. Due to the entrenched inequalities of the past, economic empowerment is very important for the economic growth of the majority of South Africa&rsquo / s citizens. However, significant economic enrichment of black people has not been made, despite, economic success, legislation, state policies and programme interventions. This economic growth is to be realised through the use of preferential procurement as a policy tool for BEE. Whilst sufficient legislation has been enacted to regulate preferential procurement, to favour black people, much still seems to be lacking in the enforcement of the laws in public procurement. Central to the challenges of preferential procurement is the disharmony between the Framework legislation governing preferential procurement and BEE. This discord has seen two visions being followed for preferential procurement / the Procurement Act refers to the beneficiaries of BEE as historically disadvantaged individuals (HDI / s) and the goals for BEE are measured through specific goals which promotes narrow empowerment / the BBBEE Act on the other hand defines black people as the recipients of BEE and through the BEE Codes broad-based empowerment is promoted through seven core elements. This congruency has not served the promotion of preferential procurement, it has created a hindrance that frustrates economic growth for those it is intended. The other quandary that undermines the success of preferential procurement is willful practices engaged by both tenderers and public officials / skills deficiency in the adjudication of tenders and self-interest. The success of BEE through preferential procurement is dependent on a coherently legislated procurement environment fortified by perceptive public officials. The objective of this thesis is to analyse the impact of these challenges on the success of preferential procurement. The study will highlight the main practices that defeat the use of preferential procurement. This will include an analysis of the various legislation and the amendments thereto. In addition the enquiry will examine the proficiency of public officials in the adjudication of public tendering. Recommendations for a successful preferential public procurement environment will be made. The proposed thesis will utilise, inter alia, relevant legislation, case law, theses, journals, books and policy documents.</p>

Magister Legum - LLM / Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) has been a topic of discussion since the dawn of democracy in April 1994. Due to the entrenched inequalities of the past, economic empowerment is very important for the economic growth of the majority of South Africa’s citizens.

Cette recherche porte sur la compréhension du fonctionnement psychique (affectif et cognitif) des enfants porteurs d’une dyspraxie développementale. La première partie consiste à définir la dyspraxie développementale dans les classifications et dans l’histoire. Ensuite quinze enfants (une fille et quatorze garçons) âgés de 5 ans 8 mois à 10 ans 11 mois ont été vus en bilan psychologique approfondi (Rorschach, TAT, UDN II, Dessin de la famille, figure complexe de Rey, R-CMAS et MDI-C) interprété dans une dimension psychanalytique. Deux hypothèses ont été mises à l’épreuve : La dyspraxie développementale s’inscrit dans une pathologie limite de l’enfant comme définie par la CFTMEA et la dyspraxie développementale entraîne un trouble des contenants de pensée lié à un trouble de la contenance corporelle. Les résultats permettent de discriminer trois groupes d’enfants objectivant ainsi des figures de la dyspraxie. Le groupe 1 composé de quatre enfants présente une pré-psychose et un retard d’organisation du raisonnement. Le groupe 2 composé de sept enfants est typique de la dyspraxie développementale. Les enfants présentent une pathologie limite de l’enfant avec dysharmonie d’évolution et dysharmonie cognitive. Enfin le groupe 3 comprend quatre enfants. Ils présentent un fonctionnement proche du groupe 2 mais leur économie psychique tend vers la névrose. Ils présentent un investissement de la cognition. La recherche se termine par des études de cas. / This research is about the comprehension of the psychological functioning (emotional and cognitive) of the children who are carriers of a dyspraxia. The 1st part consists in defining the dyspraxia in the classifications and History. Then 15 children (1 girl and 14 boys) aged from 5 years 8 months to 10 years 11 months have been seen for an extensive psychological exam (Rorschach, TAT, UDN II, Family Drawing, Rey-Osterrieth complex figure, R-CMAS, MDI-C interpreted in a psychoanalytical dimension. Two hypothesis have been put to the test : the dyspraxia is incorporated within a “Limit Pathology of the Child” as defined by the CFTMEA and the dyspraxia leads to a disorder of the thought container linked to a disorder of the plain body feeling. The results allow to discriminate 3 groups of children thus objectifying the dyspraxia figures. Group 1, composed of 4 children, presents a pre-psychosis and a retardness in the cognition organization. Group 2, composed of 7 children, is typical of the dyspraxia ; The children present a “Limit pathology of the child” with an evolution disharmony and a cognitive disharmony. Finally, group 3 is composed of 4 children. They present a functioning close to group 2 but their psychological economy tends to neurosis. They present a cognition investment. The research ends with case studies.

Thesis (LLM. (Labour Laws)) -- University of Limpopo, 2022 / This study discusses a legal analysis of incompatibility as a ground for dismissal in the South African labour law. Incompatibility refers to the inability of an employee to maintain a harmonious relationship with his or her employer, or unable to adapt to the corporate culture of the workplace. The corporate culture is associated with the values, beliefs and behaviour to determine how employees interact with each other in the workplace. Therefore, in cases where the employer contemplates dismissing an employee on the ground of incompatibility, procedural fairness and substantive fairness should be implemented in order for the employer/s to make informed decision and ensure that the dismissal of such an employee is effected in accordance with the procedural and substantive fairness couched in the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 („the LRA‟). Section 23 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 provides broadly the right of everyone to fair labour practices. Consequently, the LRA was established to give effect to this constitutional provision. In terms of section 185 of the LRA everyone has the right not to be unfairly dismissed. Be that as it may, incompatibility is not clearly defined in section 188 of the LRA. In fact, there are no guidelines nor corrective measures implemented in the workplace to deal with incompatibility. Hence incompatibility is dealt with under dismissal based on incapacity. In most cases employers use their discretion in dismissing employees, thereby using improper procedure to end disharmony in the workplace. In summation, the central thesis of this study focuses on a legal analysis of incompatibility as a ground for dismissal in the South African labour law.

This dissertation argues that European Union membership conditionality operates as a modality of political-economic governance directed at securing the conditions of possibility for a harmoniously functioning political economy of Europe. I argue that conditionality can best be understood not as a series of requirements for EU membership, a set of incentives for rule adoption, or a vehicle for the transmission of European norms to candidate states, but as an ensemble of discursive and material practices – fragile, dispersed circuits of governmental activity directed at a particular strategic ambition. I argue that existing accounts of EU membership conditionality are informed by predominantly rationalist understandings of political economy which work to conceal various cultural, social, and subjective sources of disharmony in political-economic life. Thinking about the political economy of conditionality through rationalist lenses privileges the study of bargaining and negotiation and institutional reform and overlooks the ways that conditionality targets the transformation of problematic socio-cultural and subjective elements of political economy – among them particular habits of culture, patterns of sociality, and subjective qualities and capacities of the person deemed essential to securing order and abundance. Re-reading canonical works in classical and critical traditions of political economy by James Steuart, Adam Smith, and Karl Marx makes clear that political economy as a field of knowledge and practice has long been concerned with understanding the political, legislative-legal, institutional, socio-cultural, and subjective conditions of possibility for securing order and abundance and has long reflected on the potential and limits of governance to secure these conditions in a world of shifting circumstance. I argue that a political economy of EU membership conditionality concerned with disharmony should investigate the ways that particular socio-cultural and subjective features of political-economic life are problematized in the discourse of conditionality and subsequently targeted for transformation through the work of instruments and agents of conditionality operating in a variety of institutional contexts. On this basis, I analyze conditionality as practice – tracing the emergence of instruments of conditionality currently at work in the Republic of Macedonia through official documents produced by the EU and the Republic of Macedonia from 2001-2011. I then examine the ambitions and limits of the Operational Programme Human Resources Development 2007-2013 (OP-HRD) – a program tasked with translating the aims of conditionality on paper into concrete activities for implementation in the fields of employment, education and training, and social inclusion. I outline some limits to the program derived from personal interviews with officials of the EU and the Republic of Macedonia who work to implement the OP-HRD "on the ground." In reflecting on these limitations, I return to the political economy of disharmony, concluding that constraints on the operation of conditionality in practice are not merely the product of technical and political impediments but are also derived from inherent limits to the old dream of political-economic harmony to which the ambitions of conditionality are ultimately directed. / Ph.
