The purposes of this study were to identify the factors influencing industrial-technical students in the choice of major area of study, to determine if certain areas were more influential when these students elected a major, and to provide information for industrial arts teacher-preparation programs that would aid in determining the reasons for the current industrial arts teacher shortage. From the study of factors influencing the student's choice of major, one may conclude that there is a definite need in the state of Texas for students to major in industrial arts education. One may also conclude that at the high school level, the industrial arts class and the industrial arts teacher have positive influences on the student when the student selects a college or university major. Perhaps the most significant conclusion is that the existence of an industrial arts teacher shortage is, in part, due to the fact that teaching salaries are not competitive with salaries offered by industry.

The challenge being experienced by higher education to attract and retain talented academics, particularly black staff, motivated this particular study. The challenge has been experienced by the higher education sector since the democratic dispensation in South Africa in 1994 with minimal published research having been undertaken in this specific field. In addition, it did not appear that there was a tangible solution or strategy by education leaders to respond to the crisis facing higher education. Meanwhile, seasoned academics, particularly white staff, continue to retire taking with them invaluable intellectual capital at a loss to academe. The challenges cited by academics for leaving academe do not augur well for the academic profession as a career of choice particularly for young black potential academics. The present study adopted a mixed methods approach using data collection instruments associated with both the quantitative and qualitative research paradigms. Talent management typically consists of four pillars of intervention viz. attraction, retention, development and deployment. The first part of the doctoral thesis focussed on the analysis of literature and empirical documents found in three of the four talent management pillars, namely attraction, retention and development. Deployment is not practical in the academic sector. The second part of the doctoral thesis focussed on a sample of academics in particular colleges or faculties at three South African universities. In the process following the implementation of the survey and interviews, ideas and themes were identified in the data. The research study presented a recommendation in response to the challenge to attract and retain academics, particularly black staff, with a particular emphasis on the development of black academics at lower levels. This is within the broader context of the academic employer value proposition. The study recommends that to attract and retain talented academics, particularly black staff, education leaders should focus on investing resources into the management of talent inherent in black academics at lower levels. / Public Administration / D.

The aim of this research was to determine the factors that influence retention of personnel at Cor Jesu College in the Philippines and establish guidelines for effective staff retention. A qualitative research design involving the descriptive sample survey method to collect data by means of self- administered structured questionnaire was adopted. The sample consisted of 70 Cor Jesu personnel. The information was statistically analysed with the aid of a computer after which it was interpreted. Results indicated that teachers were not satisfied with their jobs and that their retention was affected by several aspects of their work. Working conditions emerged as the major source of dissatisfaction while interpersonal relations were a principal retention factor. / Educational Studies / M.A. (Education Management)

Nowadays, no successful organization can do without effective human resource management. Proper selection of employees, their evaluation, motivation, remuneration and care of them increases the competitiveness of the entire organizations, so it is very important to pay attention to all personnel activities in the organization. The aim of my thesis is to evaluate individual areas of human resource management in a selected organization and based on the analysis and evaluation of the current situation of the organization to suggest changes to improve the current state of human resource management. For the practical part I chose the joint-stock company Zemědělské služby Dynín. I used the form of a structured interview with the human resources officer. In the practical part, I first characterized the entire organization Zemědělské služby Dynín a.s., then I described the specific human resource management areas of the selected organization on the basis of the data from interviews with the human resources officer of the organization. Then, a questionnaire survey was carried out to gain the necessary views of employees on all areas of human resource management in the selected organization. After processing and analyzing the obtained information, I finally evaluated the state of human resource management in the organization and suggested several solutions to improve the current state that could be put into practice.

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / This paper reviews retention strategies for Lesotho’s doctors and nurses and presented an implementation framework to support and promote staff retention. . Based on the increasing necessity to retain doctors and nurses, the implementation framework becomes an essential element of retention strategy. A qualitative and quantitative research design technique using a self-managed questionnaire and interviews was adopted to gather data. The 120 doctors and nurses make up a sample. The information was statistically analysed using SPSS and grounded theory. Results identified that the current implementation strategy has failed to increase the retention rate of doctors and nurses. It is hoped that the implementation framework presented in this paper would help to achieve increased retention rate for doctors and nurses.

O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar quais mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia das instituições de ensino superior são avaliados no processo de recrutamento e seleção de pessoas. Para alcança-lo utilizamos o método indutivo, pesquisa básica, a propósito de seus objetivos exploratórios, os procedimentos técnicos: a bibliografia e o levantamento. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e o método utilizado foi o survey exploratório. Para compor o resultado foi delimitada a região dos campos gerais do estado do Paraná no Brasil, o estudo inclui a participação de quatro IES com total de seis coordenadores de cursos de Tecnologia da Informação e o Arranjo Produtivo Local de Tecnologia da Informação, atualmente formalizado por vinte e uma empresas pertencentes ao Núcleo Setorial de TI. Os resultados encontrados foram: (i) Não há fundamentação teórica detalhada dos mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia; (ii) Os tipos de processo de recrutamento e seleção de pessoas identificados na literatura foram o tradicional e o baseado em competências; (iii) Os Mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia encontrados nos cursos foram: EAC, EUN, ICI, TCC, DME, TDO, MES, PCI, TES, PPA, EIN, DAI, COM, EVE, IEM, EMP, DPE; (iv) O tipo de processo de recrutamento e seleção de pessoal utilizado pelas empresas do arranjo produtivo loca é o Tradicional, mas ainda deficiente confrontado com a literatura; (v) Entre os mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia mapeados nos cursos de tecnologia da informação apenas 3 são avaliados no processo de recrutamento e seleção de pessoal, são eles: EAC, TCC, TES. Conclui-se que existe a execução de mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia na formação de profissionais de tecnologia da informação, mas não existe relevância desses mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia no processo de recrutamento e seleção, possivelmente pelos seguintes motivos: (i) a falta de conhecimento dos responsáveis pelo processo sobre mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia, dificultando a avaliação; (ii) O processo de recrutamento e seleção de pessoal nas empresas são frágeis; (iii) O mecanismos executados pelos candidatos no processo de recrutamento e seleção são ocultos por parte dos candidatos; (iv) Os responsáveis pelo processo afirmam que os mecanismos utilizados para formação de mão de obra de tecnologia da informação não esta baseado em necessidade de mercado, ainda há uma preocupação em formação generalizada e (v) Os coordenadores de curso assumem a falta de comprometimento das empresas em oferecer parceria na execução de alguns mecanismos de transferência de tecnologia. / This work aims to identify which mechanisms for technology transfer into the higher education are evaluated into the process of people recruitment and selection. In order to obtain the results we used the inductive method, basic research, the purpose of its exploratory goals, technical procedures: the bibliography and gathering. It is about a qualitative study and the method used was an exploratory survey. In order to arrange the result it was delimited the region of campos gerais in Parana state, Brazil, the study includes the participation of four IES, with a total of six coordinators from the course of Information Technology and its Local Productive Arrangement of Information Technology, currently formalized for twenty and one companies belonged to IT Sector Center. The found results were: (i) There is no detailed theoretical reasoning of the mechanisms for technology transfer; (ii) The kind of process of people recruitment and selection identified in the literature were the traditional and it was based in competence; (iii) The Mechanisms for technology transfer found into the course were: EAC, EUN, ICI, TCC, DME, TDO, MES, PCI, TES, PPA, EIN, DAI, COM, EVE, IEM, EMP, DPE; (iv) The kind of process for people recruitment and selection used by the companies from the local productive arrangement is the Traditional, but still deficient when compared to the literature; (v) Among the mechanisms for technology transfer that were mapped in the courses of information technology only 3 are evaluated in the process of people recruitment and selection, they are: EAC, TCC, TES. It is concluded that there is the implementation of mechanisms for technology transfer in the training of information technology, there is no relevance of these mechanisms for technology transfer into the process for people recruitment and selection, probably by the followed reasons: (i) lack of knowledge from the responsible by the process about the mechanisms for technology transfer, becoming difficult the evaluation; (ii) The process of people recruitment and selection into the companies are fragile; (iii) The executed mechanisms by the candidates in the process of people recruitment and selection are unknown by the candidates' side; (iv) The responsible people affirm that the used mechanisms in order to form labor for information technology area are not based into the market needs, It is still concern about general formation and (v) The Coordinators in course take over the lack of compromising from the companies in offering partnership in the execution of some mechanisms for technology transfer.

O desafio das empresas tem sido manter sua competitividade em um mercado de rápidas mudanças e com um consumidor/cliente cada vez mais exigente. Ter competência e rapidez nas respostas representa hoje um grande desafio que exige recursos diferenciados. São as pessoas que podem garantir o desenho e a implementação da estratégia por meio de uma gestão competente, gerando produtos e serviços com qualidade para atender a esse novo consumidor. Por esta razão, as empresas necessitam de profissionais qualificados, tanto para as posições mais estratégicas, na tomada de decisão, como na operação. Entretanto, a área de gestão de pessoas, responsável pelo recrutamento e seleção, vem demonstrando preocupação com a capacidade do mercado brasileiro e, em especial São Paulo para ofertar profissionais qualificados e atender à demanda das empresas. Esta questão tem emergido e, com isto, surgiu o termo \"apagão de mão de obra\". Entretanto, é preciso entender o quanto este apagão é real e o quanto este fato pode tornar o mercado de profissionas tão competitivo quanto o mercado de consumo, a ponto de as empresas disputarem profissionais como disputam consumidores/clientes. Este contexto gerou duas reflexões: a primeira é o quanto a área de gestão de pessoas está preparada e tem desenvolvido uma estratégia efetiva para a atração de talentos; e, na sequência, o quanto a área de marketing, com a sua experiência em lidar com mercados competitivos, pode contribuir com a área de gestão de pessoas, compartilhando as ferramentas utilizadas para atrair os consumidores. Assim, optou-se, por um estudo exploratório com metodologia qualitativa para entender a percepção dos profissionais de gestão de pessoas sobre o \"apagão de mão de obra\" e identificar o quanto as ferramentas de marketing podem contribuir para a atração de talentos. Os resultados revelaram que é percebida uma escassez de profissionais qualificados no mercado, e que o chamado \"apagão de mão obra\" ocorre em áreas específicas, dependendo do segmento da empresa, e não de forma generalizada. O resultado da pesquisa identificou similaridades entre os mercados de profissionais e de consumo, assim como a possibilidade de aplicação das ferramentas: employer branding, posicionamento, segmentação e marketing de relacionamento na atração de talentos. Foi identificado, também, que este tema ainda é tratado de forma operacional e reativa, faltando à área de gestão de pessoas uma atuação mais estratégica e orientada para o mercado de profissionais. / The corporate challenge has been to maintain its competitiveness in a rapidly changing market and with an increasingly demanding consumer/client. Being competent and timely response represents today a major challenge that requires special feature. Only people can ensure the design and strategy implementation through a competent management, providing quality products and services to meet this new consumer/client. For this reason, companies need qualified professionals, both for strategic positions in decision-making, as in operation. However, the area of people management, which is responsible for recruitment and selection, has been showing concern about the ability of the supply of qualified professionals, in Brazil and in particular in the State of São Paulo, to meet business demand. This issue has emerged and, with this, the term \"labor blackout\". However, one must understand how much this blackout is real and how this fact can make the professional market as competitive as the consumer market, to the point where companies compete as professionals disputing consumers/clients. This gives rise to two thoughts: the first is how much the area of people management is prepared and has developed an effective strategy for attracting talents; and, as a result, how much the marketing area, with its experience in dealing with competitive markets, can contribute to the area of people management, sharing the tools used to attract consumers. So, it was decided, preliminarily, for an exploratory study with qualitative methodology to understand the perception of professionals people management on the labor blackout and identify how much the marketing tools can contribute to attract talents. The results revealed that a shortage of qualified professionals in the market is perceived, and that the so-called \"labor blackout\" occurs in specific areas, depending on the segment of the company, and not generally. The survey results identified similarities between the professional and consumer markets, as well as the possibility of tools application: employer branding, positioning, segmentation and relationship marketing in attracting talent. It was also identified that this topic is still treated as operational and reactive, being the area of people management short of a more strategic performance and market-oriented.

Os dados foram organizados em torno das dimensões da composição sócio-ocupacional e da carreira política e serviram a dois movimentos analíticos. Em primeiro lugar, uma análise desagregada por unidade da federação que, além de captar importantes diferenças observadas entre as bancadas estaduais, registra o impacto da competição sub-nacional na configuração dos perfis dos senadores. Em segundo lugar, uma análise dos dados agregados serviu para uma comparação entre os padrões de composição sócio-ocupacional e de carreira política dos senadores com o universo dos deputados federais do mesmo período, de onde se chegou ao exame de algumas hipóteses disponíveis sobre a composição da classe política do Congresso Brasileiro. Dentre três hipóteses testadas, o universo dos senadores permitiu que se confirmasse uma e se refutasse duas outras. Portanto, tal como na Câmara dos Deputados, a existência de bases sociais distintas de recrutamento político entre das bancadas ideológicas da esquerda, centro e direita também se verifica para o Senado. Entretanto, diferentemente do que se observou nas eleições mais recentes para a Câmara Baixa, a ocorrência de uma incipiente "popularização" da classe política brasileira no período mais recente da democracia brasileira não se observou, indicando que o Senado exerce maiores dificuldades para esse tipo de processo sócio-político. Por fim, o escopo ou volume de carreira política observada entre os deputados federais é muito diferente daquele visto entre os senadores, que são políticos com uma experiência política prévia muito mais substantiva / Abstract: This thesis presents a survey of the socio-political profile of the senators elected in the six latest elections for the upper chamber of Brazilian parliament. It covers the parliamentary elite that has occupied the Senate during the recent democratic period. Data were organized around the dimensions of the socio-occupational composition and political career and they served for two main analytical lines. First, an analysis state by state, which not only shows important differences observed between groups of parliamentarians of each state, but also registers the impact of sub-national competition in the configuration to the senators' profiles. Second, an analysis of aggregated data served for comparison between the patterns of socio-occupational composition and political careers of the senators with those of the deputies elected in the same period. The comparison led to the scrutiny of three hypotheses about the composition of the political class occupying Brazilian National Congress. One of these hypotheses was confirmed and two were refuted. The existence of distinct social backgrounds of political recruitment between distinct ideological (left, centre and right) groups of parliamentarians was verified for the Senate as well as for the Chamber of Deputies. However, differently from what was observed in the recent elections for the lower chamber, an incipient "popularisation" of the Brazilian political class could not be observed for the upper chamber. This fact indicates that the Senate presents more obstacles for this type of socio-political process. Finally, the range or volume of political career observed among deputies is very different from that of the senators, whose previous political expertise is far more substantive / Mestrado / Estado, Processos Politicos e Organização de Interesses / Mestre em Ciência Política

The purpose was to investigate career expectations and goals of junior and senior fashion merchandising majors at North Texas State University and to compare findings with expectations for trainees of retail employers with executive training programs in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The findings indicated that most female students are planning their career goals in business for the next five years. Students are confused as to what employee benefits they might receive at the entry level. College recruitment is an important method of hiring executive trainees. Length of training programs vary from six months to three years. At the time of the study, trainees could expect a beginning salary of nine to ten thousand dollars.
