Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014 / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorsingstudie spruit voort uit ʼn dringende behoefte om die faktore te verstaan wat daartoe bydra dat sekere werknemers meer geneig is om te wil groei en wat organisasies gevolglik kan doen om werknemers te motiveer en meer te wil ontwikkel. Etlike faktore gee aanleiding tot ʼntekort aan lynbestuurders en die feit dat die begeerte om te groei ʼn skaars karaktereienskap by werknemers is. Sekere konstrukte is beheerbaar, terwyl ander nie beheerbaar is nie. Deur die beheerbare faktore te identifiseer, stel organisasies en bestuurders in staat om aksieplanne te implementeer om die impak van die konstrukte en die afwesigheid van sielkundige eienaarskap in die werksplek te verminder. Aksieplanne soos bevordering van sielkundige eienaarskap mag daartoe lei om die hoeveelheid lynbestuurders te vergroot. Dit sal bydra om tekorte uit te wis en uitdagende omstandighede die hoof te bied. Bewese navorsing oor die implementering van ʼn gestruktureerde werknemerbemagtigingsprogram kan bydra om hierdie uitdaging van die afwesigheid van sielkundige eienaarskap te oorkom. Die lynbestuurder en sy/haar bevoegdheid is ʼn sleutelrolspeler in sodanige program en die bestuur van werknemers. Hierdie studie het ten doel om ʼn bestaande sielkundige bemagtigingsmodel vir lynbestuurders te herevalueer en addisionele veranderlikes voor te stel wat organisasie-uitkomste soos werkstevredenheid, werknemerdoeltreffendheid, organisasie-verbondenheid en voorneme om te bedank beïnvloed. As lynbestuurders en organisasies verstaan watter lynbestuurbevoegdhede organisasie-uitkomste beïnvloed, asook die manier waarop hierdie bevoegdhede op sodanige uitkomste inwerk, kan hulle toegerus word om prosesse en programme te formuleer wat tot die behoud van ʼn vaardigheid in die organisasie kan bydra. Die studie en die operasionalisering van die sielkundige bemagtigingsbevoegdhede was onsuksesvol. Die gevolgtrekking word gemaak dat die voorgestelde model gereduseer moes word en talentbestuur se latente veranderlikes uit die model verwyder moes word. Modelpassing was swak met betrekking tot die gereduseerde model. Modelspesifieke wysigings wat aangebring is, was gebaseer op modifikasie-indeksvoorstelle wat uit die data afleibaar was. Met verwysing na die gewysigde model is goeie passing getoon en ondersteuning van alle fasette en bene gevind. Daar word aanbeveel dat navorsing oor kruisvalidasie met betrekking tot die gewysigde gereduseerde model gedoen word.

<p>&quot / This thesis explores the link between Fairtrade labelling and worker empowerment in the cases of LFFT and Stellar Organics in terms of: the reasons for becoming certified and commercial benefits expected from the Fairtrade labelling / the intergration of the Faitrade requirements into the structures and management of employee equity share shemes / the enabling or disabling factors for Fairtrade certification to contribute to the socio-economic development and empowerment of the workers. This thesis describes the two cases in detail according to these links and concludes that Fairtrade labelling has not significantly changed the trade relationships with large retailers for these two Fairtrade producers even though it has provided additional market access. The link between the Fairtrade requirements and the legal and administrativestructures of employee equity share schemes is complex and open to interpretation. Finally, the possibility for Fairtrade certification to contribute to the socio-economic development and empowerment of workers is dependent on changes in management and communicationbetween white farm owners and bleck workers which confronts deeply held paternalist beliefs...&quot / </p>

<p>Proponents of lean production (LP) argue that successful implementation is dependent on creating an organisational climate that complements the adoption and implementation of innovation. Transformation of the organisational climate, from a culture of adversarialism (management versus workers) and worker exclusion (in terms of decision making) toward a culture of co-operation and worker participation, is thus a necessary complement to LP. Successful implementation of LP, and associated practices, thus requires the commitment of all stakeholders. This study explores worker attitudes towards transition to LP within a chosen company in the South African auto components sector. The study focuses on understanding worker perceptions of shifts in Human Resource and Industrial Relations practices which are associated with the transition to LP. The research reports on two surveys of workers to better understand their perceptions of the changes to the relationships among workers, and between workers and management.</p>
