Les entreprises américaines implantées en France ont été étudiées de 1890 à 1990 à partir des archives de la Chambre de Commerce américaine en France (AmCham). Cette source permet d’analyser les actions collectives qu’elles ont menées et l’influence qu’elles ont eue sur le milieu des entreprises françaises, dans cinq périodes successives où la cohérence entre leurs actions et celles des autorités américaines a été plus ou moins étroite. Dans la première période (1890-1914), l’AmCham est un club de riches hommes d’affaires dans un environnement prestigieux. Dans la deuxième (1914-1945), elle est une association d’entreprises, plus nombreuses mais placées dans un contexte de guerre et de crise, sans stratégie commune. Dans la troisième (1945-1970), elle est un outil efficace du Plan Marshall puis du « défi américain ». Dans la quatrième (1970-1990), les implantations se multiplient mais la montée en puissance de l’union européenne, les réticences américaines sur l’investissement à l’étranger et la francisation des filiales américaines font apparaître des facteurs de fragilité et finalement dans la cinquième (après 1990), l’AmCham, dont l’influence a décliné, cherche, avec difficulté, des éléments de solidarité entre ses adhérents dans le contexte nouveau de la mondialisation. A partir de cette source, on a étudié les interactions culturelles entre l’AmCham et son milieu et la diffusion du modèle de management américain, qui a conduit à une forte francisation des filiales américaines en France. / American firms in France have been studied from 1890 to 1990, from the archives of the American Chamber of Commerce in France (AmCham). This source provides the elements of an analysis of the collective actions they implemented and the influence they had on French firms over five successive periods where there was more or less a consistency between their actions and the US government’s decisions. In the first periode (1890-1914), AmCham was a club of wealthy businessmen in a prestigious environment. In the second one (1914-1945), it was an employer’s association, with more members but in a context of wars and crisis, without a common strategy. In the third one (1945-1970), it was an efficient instrument of the Marshall Plan and later the « American challenge ». In the fourth one (1970-1990), with a growing number of firms, with the European project gaining ground, US policy’s reluctance to FDI and US firms becoming more and more « frenchized », significant factors of fragility appeared and finally in the fifth one (after 1990), AmCham, whose influence has diminished, is trying painfully to identify new elements of solidarity between its members in the new context of globalization. From this source, the study focuses on cultural interactions between AmCham and its environment and the spread of the American management model, which led to a large « frenchization » of American subsidiaries in France.

This dissertation deals with how to solve different kinds of disciplinal problems in a class, about an atmosphere in the class, relations between a teacher and pupils, a teacher and parents and also about the relations between pupils themselves. In this work is written how disciplinal problems should be solved, as well as how some problems are solved in real situations. The thesis is concerned especially about beginnings of the profession, which is connected with early years teachers and their possibilities how to deal with school conflicts, moreover their options for cooperation with their colleagues in a school or outside of it. This is also focused on general knowledge of beginning teachers about the possibility of cooperation with specialised centres for schools. The thesis shows the mentioned topic through situations from the Czech Republic as well as from Spain, Portugal and China.

Bemanningsföretagen har sedan legaliseringen 1993 fått fäste på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Bemanningsbranschen innebär en förändring av det traditionella anställningsförhållandet som vanligtvis är tvåpartsrelation till att bli en trepartsrelation. Det har skapat viss problematik, då arbetsrättslig lagstiftning främst är anpassad efter den tvåpartsrelation som ännu anses vanligast. Den reglering som styr arbetsmiljöfrågor är främst Arbetsmiljölagen, vilken kom till då trepartsförhållande var främmande för den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Därmed väcktes frågan om vilken aktör som bär arbetsmiljöansvaret vid uthyrning av arbetskraft samt om arbetsmiljöansvaret skiljer sig vid anlitandet av entreprenad.Syftet blir därför att, genom den rättsdogmatiska metoden, utreda gällande rätt och därigenom få djupare förståelse för komplexiteten kring ämnet. Stora delar av uppsatsen är av deskriptiv karaktär, en beskrivning av rådande rättsläge. För att få en internationell koppling berörs även International Labour Organizations konvention nr. 181 i syfte att utreda vilken inverkan den har för arbetstagare som hyrs ut av bemanningsföretag och deras arbetsmiljö.I mina slutsatser konstaterar jag att skyddet för den”traditionella arbetstagaren” är omfattande, medan skyddet för en arbetstagare i en trepartsrelation är betydligt mer komplex. Arbetsmiljöansvaret vid uthyrning av arbetstagare är i behov av ett förtydligande, vilket enligt mig borde ske genom lagstiftning. Till skillnad från personaluthyrning råder det ingen tvekan om ansvarsfördelningen vid anlitandet av entreprenad i Arbetsmiljölagen men enligt mig finns det ett behov av en definition av begreppet entreprenad. Definitionen bör syfta till att förebygga feltolkning av begreppet, då arbetssituationen, i vissa fall, kan bidra till att ett annat rättsförhållande skapas och att arbetsmiljöansvar då förskjuts till kundföretaget. International Labour Organizations konvention nr. 181 har ingen direkt inverkan på arbetsmiljöansvaret för uthyrda arbetstagare, då Sverige valt att inte ratificera konventionen. / Recruitment companies have since legalization in 1993 gained a foothold on the Swedish labour market. The staffing industry is a change from the traditional employment relationship which usually is a bilateral relationship to become a trilateral relationship. This has created some problems, when labour legislation primarily is adapted to the bilateral relationship, which still is considered most common. The regulations governing health and safety issues at the working place are mainly found in the Work Environment Act, which was written before the trilateral relationship appeared on the Swedish labour market. Thus, the question arose as to which player has the safety responsibility for rented labour and if the work environment responsibility differs in the employment of subcontracted employees.The aim of this thesis is therefore, through the legal dogmatic method, to investigate the law and thereby gain a deeper understanding of the complexity of the subject. A large section of my paper is of descriptive character, a description of the current legal position. To get an international connection, I also refer to the International Labour Organization Convention 181 in order to investigate what impact it has on rented labour and the work environment.In my findings, I conclude that the protection of the "traditional worker" is extensive while the protection of a worker in a trilateral relationship is much more complex. Work environment responsibility for hiring of workers is in need of clarification, which according to me, should be by legislation. Apart from rented labour, there are no uncertainties regarding work environment responsibilities for subcontracted employees in the Working Environment Act. However, according to me, there is a need of a definition of the term outsourcing. The definition should aim to prevent misinterpretation of the concept. In some cases the work conditions can contribute to the fact that a different legal relationship is created and work environment responsibilities are shifted to the client company. International Labour Organization Convention 181 has no direct impact on the work environment responsibility for rented labour since Sweden decided not to ratify the Convention.

Teknologin har gjort stora framsteg de senaste åren. I och med den fortskridande utvecklingen har det skapats nya möjligheter för utveckling, tillväxt och marknadsföring för världens företag. Internet är ett hjälpmedel, som har bidragit till att skapa dessa möjligheter. Denna förmån har även medfört att de anställda kan ägna sig åt ”osynliga” icke-arbetsrelaterade aktiviteter såsom cyberloafing (internetanvändning för privat bruk under arbetstid). Tidigare forskning kom fram till att det finns två nivåer av cyberloafing. Dessa benämndes ”mild” (exempelvis skicka och ta emot privat e-post) och ”grav” (exempelvis delta i online-spel som innefattar riktiga pengar). Studiens syfte var att undersöka vilka aktiviteter, som förekom när de anställda använde sig av cyberloafing och varför cyberloafing utfördes. Syftet med studien var även att studera sambandet mellan deltagarnas inställning till cyberloafing och hur de ansåg att cyberloafing påverkade deras arbetsprestation samt en sambandsstudie mellan hur många gånger per dag som deltagarna i genomsnitt använde sig av cyberloafing och deras inställning till ämnet. Det var även av intresse att undersöka om det fanns några skillnader mellan den offentliga och den privata sektorn. Studien utfördes med hjälp av en webbenkät och hade 87 stycken svarande. Deltagarna var anställda hos företag inom Trestads-området och kravet var att de hade daglig tillgång till Internet. Studiens resultat visade att den mest förekommande aktiviteten var alternativet ”besöker nyhetssajter”. Studiens resultat visade på några signifikanta könsskillnader samt skillnader mellan den offentliga och den privata sektorn. / Technology has made great strides during the last years. The development of technology has created new opportunities for growth and marketing for companies. Internet is a tool that has helped to createtheseopportunities. This asset has also led to an opportunity for employees to engage in”invisible”, non-work related activities such as cyberloafing (internet use for personal use during working hours). Previous researchhas reportedtwo levels of cyberloafing which are called minor cyberloafing (e.g. sending and receiving private e-mail) and severe cyberloafing (e.g. participate in online games involving real money). The purpose of this study was to examine the activities that occurred when employees used the Internet for private purposes and also why cyberloafing occurred. The purpose was also to studytherelationships between participants' attitude towards cyberloafing and how they felt that cyberloafing affected their job performance. It also examined if therewasa connection between how many times per day the participants on average used the cyberloafing and their attitude towards the subject. It was of interest to investigate whether there were any differences between the public and the private sector. The study was conducted using an online questionnaire and had 87 respondents. The participants came from companiesinthe Trestads area. Therequirementwas that the employees had daily access to Internet. Our results showed that the most common activity was visiting news sites. The results of this study showed some significant differences between genders and between the public and the private sector.

L’étude du personnel des Hauts-Fourneaux de Chasse pendant les Trente Glorieuses porte sur des catégories professionnelles diverses, sur leurs trajectoires et sur leur travail. Les politiques d’entreprises variées sont inégales selon les âges, sexes et nationalités. Les rapports entre salariés et dirigeants sont faits de collaborations en raison d’intérêts communs comme de tensions. Ils s’établissent dans un contexte de restructuration de l’industrie régionale et de l’évolution inégale des productions. La modernisation de l’outillage productif est alors régulièrement mobilisée, ce qui a un effet sur l’emploi et surtout sur le travail. La fin de cette période est marquée par des luttes pour maintenir ses activités sidérurgiques rassemblant au-delà du personnel de l’usine. Le site est pourtant restructuré et le personnel doit se reconvertir. Les sources à la fois publiques et privées, écrites et orales, sont diverses. / The study of Chasse-sur-Rhône’s blast furnaces staff deals with their various professional categories, careers and work. The varied companies’ policies are unequal when it comes to age, sex and nationality. The relationships between workers and managers rely on collaborations due to common interests as well as tensions. They are built in a context of regional industry redevelopment and unequal evolution of productions. The modernization of the productive tools is thus regularly activated, which has an impact on employment but mostly on work. The end of this period is characterized by struggles to maintain the steel activity gathering beyond the factory staff. However the site is redeveloped and the staff must redeploy. The various sources are both public and private, written and oral.

Employing people with physical and multiple disability from the employer{\crq}s point of view I chose the subject of this thesis because I work for o.s. Asistence as a work counselor within the framework of a transit program and one of my duties is to help people with physical and multiple disability find a job as well as establish contact with employers. People with health disability are among social groups most threatened by unemployment. They make up about 13% of the level of unemployment which is increasing. There are surely many reasons for such a high level of unemployment among people with health and multiple disability. Among them we may rank insufficient coverage of services supporting this social group in the process of seeking work, next a low number of vacancies and finally the lack of experience of employers with employing people with a health disability. A number of people with physical and multiple disability would very much like to be employed in the regular labour market. There are also employers who would very much like to employ such a person, but they do not know how to find a new employ or who to contact as well as how does the whole process of employing disabled people work. One of the services dedicated to this social problem that seems quite promising is the supported employment. The aims of this thesis were various. Partly to describe the process of employing people with physical and multiple disabilities from the employer{\crq}s viewpoint. Then to describe in what way employers need to be supported when employing people with physical and multiple disabilities. The final aim was to describe the motivation of current employers to employ people with a health disability. The first part of this work deals with the characteristics of people with physical and multiple disability, with their rights, the relation of the society regarding the employment of these people and legal aspects applied to employing people with health disability. I also described the services that are provided to employers employing people with physical and multiple disabilities by agencies of supported employment. I also mentioned Corporate Social Responsibility and its usage in the social area. The research itself was carried out in collaboration with o.s. Asistence. The group on which the research was carried out was made up by five employers employing people with physical and multiple disability and by five counselors from o.s. Asistence. The data were collected by means of a semi-structured interview. The interview itself focused on the motivation of the employers to employ people with health disability and the legislation pertinent to the discussed problem. The interview with the counselors regarded similar topics with regard as to how do they participate in the process themselves. This work may be a source of information for current or potential employers of people with physical or multiple disability. At the same time it may be of use to people providing services to this social group by helping them in finding a job.

Ancienne colonie française, le Sénégal à l'instar de beaucoup d'autres pays de l'Afrique Occidentale Française (AOF) a subi l'influence du droit français.Cependant, après les indépendances, les jeunes Etats africains, bien que s'inspirant toujours de cet héritage commun que constitue le droit français, ont essayé de bâtir leur propre législation en tenant compte des contextes sociologique, politique, mais surtout économique. Ainsi, au Sénégal, le législateur, sous prétexte des réalités locales, mais aussi de la nécessité du développement, a instauré un droit des relations collectives de travail en général, et des conflits collectifs du travail en particulier, fondée sur une conception assez particulière du syndicalisme, qui vise à accentuer leur responsabilité (sans pour autant occulter celle des grévistes) et qui finalement, aboutit à une limitation du droit de grève, qu'on jugera excessive. Ainsi, force est de constater qu'aujourd'hui, ce droit sénégalais des conflits collectifs tranche sur plusieurs points avec le droit français.L'étude de la responsabilité à l'occasion des conflits collectifs de travail nous permet de faire le bilan, de voir ce qui reste de cet héritage juridique que constitue le droit français, et dans quelle mesure il peut toujours constituer une référence pour le Sénégal, compte tenu des objectifs visés et surtout du contexte nécessairement différent dans lequel s'exercent les conflits collectifs du travail. / The Former French colony , Senegal following the example of many of the other countries of French West Africa ( AOF) underwent the influence of the French law.However, after the independences, the young African States, although being always inspired by this common inheritance which establishes the French law, tried to build their own legislation by taking into account sociological, political, but especially economic contexts. So, in Senegal, the legislator, under pretext of the local realities, but also the necessity of the development, established a law of the collective working relations generally, and the collective conflicts of the work in particular, based on a rather particular conception of the trade unionism, which aims at stressing their responsibility (without hidting that of the strikers) and which finally, ends in a limitation of the right to strike, which we shall judge. So, we have to admit that today, this right Senegalese of the collective conflicts cuts on several points with the French law.The study of the responsibility on the occasion of the collective working conflicts allows us to draw up the balance sheet, to see what stays of this legal inheritance which establishes the French law, and in which measure he can always establish a reference for Senegal, considering the aimed objectives and especially considering the inevitably different context in which practice the collective conflicts of the work.

The diploma thesis investigates attitudes of employers and employees towards flexible forms of working. Flexible forms of working are, for purpose of the diploma thesis, understood as a tool for work-life balance. Attention is devoted to part-time, home office, flexible working hours and job-sharing. Research of employers and employees attitudes is based on a questionnaire survey and focus groups realized within a project METR at Fond of Further Education. The aim of the diploma thesis is to find out not only the actual using of flexible forms of working in companies and organizations, but also the potential for their development. The results of the diploma thesis show that flexible forms of working are very actual topic among employers and employees. However, employers are still afraid of their implementation. Part-time contracts are the most often used flexible forms of working and also have the greatest potential for the future development. Keywords: Flexible forms of working, part-time, home office, flexible working hours, job-sharing, employees, employers, attitudes

The employment of persons with criminal records has become an increasingly important issue in the Western world. Literature on Canadian hiring practices in relation to persons with criminal records, however, is severely lacking. This thesis aims to make a significant contribution to the field of criminology by investigating how employers evaluate the employability of persons with criminal records, as well as their attitudes and perceptions towards this population. Through eight open-ended and low-structured interviews with owners and/or hiring managers in the city of Ottawa and using the theoretical framework of H. Blumer’s (1969) symbolic interactionism (SI), E. Goffman’s (1963) stigma, and J. Braithwaite’s (1989) reintegrative shaming for analysis, this thesis attempts to gain insight into the barriers and challenges of professional integration for persons with criminal records. This study ultimately revealed that: (1) criminal record verifications were seldom used among employers to check for past convictions; (2) employers were willing to hire persons with criminal records (under specific conditions); and that (3) employability was based primarily on whether the candidate in question had the skillset required for the position, making the criminal record a secondary consideration. Contrary to popular belief, the results also suggest that while employers may be socially aware of this stigma, not all engage in stigmatizing and/or shaming behaviour towards persons with criminal records during the hiring process. Further, it is often the case that when making decisions, employers must decide between catering to the needs of their business or hiring a prospective candidate despite their criminal record. This study opens new avenues of inquiry concerning persons with criminal records and professional reintegration while proposing future directions for research. RÉSUME La réinsertion professionnelle des personnes judiciarisées est un sujet qui a acquis une grande importance dans le monde occidental. Toutefois, la littérature détaillant les pratiques d’embauche des employeurs Canadiens est limitée. Cette thèse vise donc à contribuer au champ de connaissance sur le sujet. Elle a pour objectif d’analyser comment les employeurs évaluent l’employabilité des personnes avec un casier judiciaire, leurs attitudes ainsi que leurs perceptions de cette population. Sur la base de huit entretiens ouverts et non-structurés avec des propriétaires et/ou responsables du recrutement dans la ville d’Ottawa et en utilisant le cadre théorique de l’interactionnisme symbolique d’H. Blumer (1968), la théorie du stigmate d’E. Goffman (1963) ainsi que celle du reintegrative shaming de J. Braithwaite (1989), cette thèse aspire à une meilleure compréhension des obstacles dans la réinsertion professionnelle des personnes avec un casier judiciaire. Cette étude révèle que (1) la fréquence des vérifications des casiers judiciaire est rare, (2) que les employeurs désirent embaucher les personnes judiciarisées (mais sous certaines conditions) et (3) que l’employabilité est basée principalement sur les compétences requises pour le poste. Le casier judiciaire devient donc une considération secondaire. Ces résultats suggèrent que même si les employeurs sont conscients du stigmate, un comportement stigmatisant or humiliant envers les personnes avec un casier judiciaire n’est pas la norme lors du processus d’embauche. Lors de la décision finale, le dilemme des employeurs porte davantage sur les besoins de leur entreprise versus ceux du candidat que sur le casier judiciaire de ce dernier.
