Employees' experiences of performance management appraisalsTsiu, Tshepo 09 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this research was to explore employees’ experiences of performance
management appraisals. There is an increasing need to ensure that performance
appraisals realise performance improvement and professional development goals
while safeguarding the dignity of employees. This study followed a qualitative
research design and was conducted in a South African banking organisation with five
participants at varying employment levels. Purposive, non-probability sampling was
used to select the participants and a semi-structured interview was conducted with
each participant. The interviews were transcribed and the data was analysed using
the discourse analysis method in keeping with social constructivism. Various insights
about the employees’ experiences of performance management appraisals can be
drawn from the overall research findings, which are likely to benefit the field of
industrial and organisational psychology and managers in various organisations in
conducting more effective performance appraisals by ensuring that they are fair and
ethical, and can facilitate professional growth. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial & Organisational Psychology)

Food Waste Reduction through Food Sharing Initiatives: The lived Experiences of Restaurants and Food Bank Employees in RiyadhAbdur-Rahim, Abdulwasih I. January 2023 (has links)
Today’s world is characterised by considerable inconsistency. In some parts of the world people are living in starvation and malnutrition, while in some other parts of the same world, about 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted every year. We do not know enough about what contributes to food waste. However, there seems to be an emergent pattern of behaviour around sharing food. This hermeneutic phenomenological research will explore how food sharing might reduce food waste in a cultural and community-based society like Saudi Arabia through the lived experiences of restaurants and food bank employees.
Research data were collected through a face-to-face semi-structured interview method from 15 participants from selected restaurants and food bank in Riyadh. Using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) as the theoretical lens, a conceptual framework was proposed to elicit underlying behavioural and cultural factors impeding food waste reduction and the inefficiency of food sharing. Using Paul Colaizzi’s approach, the collected interview data were reviewed, analysed, and seventeen themes were elicited for further discussion.
The findings suggest that culture through an affluent way of life and the show-off lifestyle of hosts continue to contribute to more food wastage. The strictly business nature of restaurants operation leads to edible food fit for human consumption ending up in the garbage. The revised conceptual framework provides insight into the factors hindering food waste reduction and food sharing. With supporting regulations and policies, food leftovers can either be distributed to people in need or put to an alternative use.
