Exploring the disharmony between the temporary and permanent organising forms in a parastatal

Botha, Cornelis Johannes 08 September 2023 (has links) (PDF)
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.

Assessing conflict and intimacy for understanding and treating couple distress

Sheffield, Rachael Le Ann 17 February 2005 (has links)
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.

Enquiry into what frustrates the efficacy of preferential public procurement as a policy tool for black economic empowerment

Beukes, Soraya January 2011 (has links)
<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>

Harmoni och Disharmoni : Förskolans kvalitet i ett effektiviserat produktionssamhälle

Thomsson Wejnefalk, Elinore January 2024 (has links)
This text is written with the purpose of examining the preschool's harmony and disharmony. What is happening in moments of interaction with others, children and educators, what is it in today's preschool that stands in the way of this interaction, and what will be the consequences of the development that leads us farther and farther away from this interaction? This text begins with three stories where in the first two I portrayed two situations of interaction, one from my experience of the world of music and one from the preschool. The third describes what will illuminate one of the essay's more conflicting situations.In my text, I have produced an analogy between the preschool's practice and the musical practice, initially with the aim of letting music be supportive in explaining the unseen and the elements that can be difficult to understand in the preschool, but this work has come to featurethe musical sphere increasingly throughout the text’s development. The experience of the music has been able to explain situations in preschool, putting words to phenomenon that sems to be without words, but it has also let the musical aspect itself be explained. In my investigation of the harmony, I have mainly been inspired and led by Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback's collection of essays Praise to nothingness - essays on philosophical hermeneutics. Her description of nothingness and its events through inspiration, influence and improvisation has taken me and the text on a journey in how interaction in preschool can look and what it can create. Through her text, self -transformation has become a central concept in my text and thoughts.As I have come to the study of disharmony, I have looked at Foucault's concept of discourse.The discursive formations that have been and continue to be creating the preschool curriculum and conditions, and here I have also looked at the consequences of the increasingly efficiency, quality- and production-focused preschool that we see today. Marx's thoughts on alienationhave been allowed to lead the text's reasoning about the consequences of this development and I conclude my text by asking myself and you as a reader:"What will happen to our children?

Étude clinique et psychopathologique de la dyspraxie développementale chez l'enfant / Clinical and psychopathological study of developmental dyspraxia in children

Commune, Antonin 15 May 2017 (has links)
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.

A legal analysis of incompatibility as a ground for dismissal in the South African labour law

Mushwana, Risana Einneth January 2022 (has links)
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.
