Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att bidra till beskrivning och utveckling av transkulturellt familjearbete. Sex familjebehandlare inom socialtjänstens öppenvård intervjuades med fokus på betydelsen av deras etnicitet/kultur i möte med familjer samt likheter/skillnader i arbetssätt i att möta svenska respektive invandrade familjer. Utskrifterna av intervjuerna analyserades med kvalitativ metod. Resultatet visar på att behandlarens etnicitet/kultur har betydelse men att också socioekonomisk klass har betydelse. I studien framgår att det finns både skillnader och likheter i arbetssätet med invandrade respektive svenska familjer. De tydligaste skillnader som framkommer i arbetssätet i att möta invandrade respektive svenska familjer beskrivs i kategorierna: att informera, att möta andra värderingar och att inte veta. Likheter beskrivs i kategorierna: att se det allmänmänskliga, att skapa relation och att se resurser.  I resultatet beskrivs också vad som är viktigt för en nyanställd i invandrartäta områden att tänka på samt vad familjebehandlare menar att transkulturellt arbete betyder för dem. / The overall aim of this study is to contribute to the description and development of cross-cultural family work. Six family therapists in social services outpatient were interviewed with a focus on the importance of their own ethnicity/culture in the meeting with the families and the similarities/differences in working approach with the Swedish and immigrant families. Interviews were analyzed using qualitative method The results shows that the therapist’s ethnicity/culture are important but socio-economic classis important too. My stud shows that there are both differences and similarities in working approach with immigrant families and Swedish families. The clearest differences that emerge in working approach with immigrants are described in the categories: to inform, to meet, different values and not knowing. Similarities are described in the categories: to see the universally human, to create relationships and to ensure resources, The result also describes what is important for a new employee to think about in an areawhere many immigrants live and what cross-culture work means to family therapists.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as transformacoes da producao artesanal de redes de dormir, no nordeste brasileiro, e as repercussoes dessas transformacoes onde essa atividade e exercida. Para se atingir tal objetivo, parte-se do pressuposto de que as transformacoes ocorridas decorrem de processos relacionados com a incorporacao de materias-primas industriais e de ampliacao do mercado de consumo, sobretudo quando a rede passa a ser considerada como um bem de lazer e decoracao. Este estudo procura abranger os diferentes segmentos relacionados com essa problematica em algumas cidades nordestinas. Numa pesquisa direta, coletaram-se informacoes sobre as materias-primas, os instrumentos, as tecnicas e as relacoes sociais inerentes a atividade. Este estudo mostra que as transformacoes verificadas abrangem a reorganizacao da producao de redes e o aproveitamento das tecnicas de tecelagem das redes para a producao de outros bens, contribuindo, assim para a reproducao do espaco. / This study has the objective to analyze changes in handcraft of sleeping hammocks in Brazilian Northeast and implications of these transformations upon developed activities. In order to achieve this end, the premise is that occurred changes are caused by processes related to incorporation of industrial raw materials and expansion of consumption market, mainly when hammock becomes a leisure and decorative article. This research covers different segments related to this problem in some northeast cities. On direct research, it was collected information about raw material, instruments, techniques and social relations inherent to the activity. This study demonstrates that verified changes comprises reorganization of hammock production and utilization of hammock weaving techniques on other goods manufacturing and so contributing space reproduction.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyse transprofessional family work theoretically and empirically. The aim was to deepen the knowledge regarding factors, which contribute or restrain transprofessional family work. In this study the family work is the Social and Health Care collaboration with families with children. The transprofessionality is the jointly agreed assessment of the family situation and the support they need that has been formed in partnership with the professionals and the family. The study was implemented with multiple constituency evaluation with Q Methodology. The statements (N=212) of the concourse of the transprofessional family work was compressed with theoretical pattern to the Q sample (N=44), which represents the main dimensions of the study topic. The participants of the Q sessions (N=34) were selected discretionarily according to multiple constituency evaluation from all key groups, which had interests to the study topic. The Q sessions provided the Q sort and the recorded interview, which represented the subjective perspective of the each participant. Data was analysed with PQMethod-software and the result of the factor analysis formed further three factors, which illustrated the three different discourses from the transprofessional family work. The first discourse emphasized client orientation and the importance of the training and skills in the partnership between professionals and families. The second discourse highlighted the significance of the leadership in the assessment of the transprofessional family work. There were issues in the interaction between people. The third discourse highlighted the structures and processes of the collaboration, which were managed by the skillful professionals without follow-up or supervision or any special guidelines for teamwork or networking practice. According to the consensus from the discourses, a good transprofessional family work is advanced by the families experience that the encounter has been authentic and they have had the chance to be heard in an open interaction with professionals. The working practices which strenghten families´ own resources, advance commitment to common objectives. Family work must be developed by observing the services as a whole from basic services to special services. The transprofessional family work is restrained by high turnover of workers, different viewpoints in customer orientation approach, and interaction difficulties between partners. Confidentiality is not an obstacle. The increasing of staff or time resources was not seen necessary, however leadership role needs clarification. The results of this study can be utilized when developing working practices, methods and an education of the Social and Health Care transprofessional family work. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli analysoida sosiaali- ja terveystoimen moniasiantuntijaista perhetyötä teoreettisesti ja empiirisesti sekä tavoitteena oli syventää tietoa moniasiantuntijaista perhetyötä edistävistä ja estävistä tekijöistä. Tässä tutkimuksessa perhetyö on sosiaali- ja terveystoimessa tehtävää yhteistyötä lapsiperheiden kanssa ja moniasiantuntijuus ammattilaisten ja perheen välisessä tasavertaisessa yhteistyökumppanuudessa syntynyt yhteinen käsitys perheen tilanteesta, tarvittavasta tuesta ja sen arvioinnista. Tutkimus toteutettiin monitahoarviointina käyttäen Q-metodologiaa tutkimusmenetelmänä. Moniasiantuntijaisen perhetyön keskusteluavaruuden väiteuniversumi (N=212) tiivistettiin teoreettisen mallin avulla tutkimusaiheen pääulottuvuuksia sisältäväksi väiteotokseksi (N=44). Koetilanteisiin valittiin harkinnanvaraisesti monitahoarvioinnin periaatteita noudattaen osallistujat (N=34) kaikista niistä avainryhmistä, joilla oli intressejä tutkittavaan aiheeseen. Koetilanteissa saatiin jokaiselta osallistujalta hänen subjektiivista näkökulmaansa edustava Q-jaottelu ja nauhoitettu haastattelu. Aineisto analysoitiin PQMethod-tutkimusohjelmalla, ja faktorianalyysin tuloksena muodostui kolme faktoria, jotka kuvasivat kolmea erilaista moniasiantuntijaisen perhetyön diskurssia. Ensimmäinen diskurssi korosti asiakaslähtöisyyttä sekä koulutuksen ja osaamisen merkitystä yhteistyössä ammattilaisten ja perheiden kanssa. Toisessa diskurssissa korostui johtajuus moniasiantuntijaisen perhetyön seurannassa ja arvioinnissa. Työelämässä nähtiin vuorovaikutuksen ongelmia. Kolmannessa diskurssissa korostuivat yhteistyön rakenteet ja prosessit, jotka vahvan ammattiosaamisen omaavat työntekijät hoitavat ilman johdon tehokasta valvontaa ja ohjausta tai erityistä ohjeistusta tiimi- ja verkostotyön käytännöistä. Diskurssien konsensuksen mukaan hyvää moniasiantuntijaista perhetyötä edistää asiakasperheiden kokemus aidosta kohtaamisesta ja kuulluksi tulemisesta avoimessa vuorovaikutuksessa ammattilaisten kanssa. Perheen omia voimavaroja vahvistavat työmenetelmät edistävät sitoutumista yhteisiin tavoitteisiin. Perhetyötä tulee kehittää tarkastelemalla palvelukokonaisuuksia peruspalveluista erityispalveluihin. Moniasiantuntijaista perhetyötä estävät työntekijöiden vaihtuvuus, erilaiset näkemykset asiakaslähtöisyydestä sekä yhteistyökumppaneiden väliset vuorovaikutusongelmat. Salassapitovelvollisuus ei ole este. Henkilöstö- tai aikaresurssien lisäämistä ei nähty merkittävänä tekijänä, mutta johdon rooli vaatii selkeyttämistä. Tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää kehitettäessä sosiaali- ja terveystoimen moniasiantuntijaisen perhetyön toimintakäytäntöjä, työmenetelmiä ja koulutusta.

Work and family embody two of the most fundamental areas of adult life. The increased participation in the labour force of working women with children has had a major impact on the work and family interface. Theories of work and family have been incorporated to analyse potential relationships of conflict with undesirable work outcomes such as reduced job satisfaction and burnout. The study investigates whether work-family conflict ultimately leads to working women with children’s experiences of burnout and lower job satisfaction. The research study also explores the effects of the mother-role identity on the manifestation of family and work conflict in working women with children and posits that working women with children experience role salience differently from other working women without children. The study employed a quantitative research design using electronic self-administered questionnaires. Using the data from 545 employees in a fast-moving consumer goods industry showed that working women with children who identified closer with the mother-role identity, experienced greater work-family conflict. The mother-role identity forms a greater part of working women with children’s self than that of the employee-role identity and the results infer that role identity plays a significant role when conflict is experienced. In working women with children, strong relationships were found between family-work conflict and burnout, and moderate inverse relationships between work-family conflict and job satisfaction. Work-family conflict may ultimately lead working women with children to experience higher burnout and lower job satisfaction owing to their preoccupation with family-related responsibilities. The concept of role identity is introduced as a significant variable to consider into the work and family conflict investigation, as well as in the development of burnout and job satisfaction for working women with children. The current research also assists in understanding the work and family role integration of working women with children and provides a consolidated overview of the current work and family theories within a conceptual and unifying model. This research offers an explanatory model that outlines the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, by investigating the mechanisms by virtue of which such relationships exist. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / Human Resource Management / unrestricted

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om tillfredsställelse med skiftarbete påverkade work-life balance hos medarbetare inom industri- och sjukvårdssektorn, samt om det fanns skillnader i tillfredsställelse med skiftarbete och work-life balance mellan industrin och sjukvården. Vidare undersöktes om ålder, kön eller hemmaboende barn hade någon betydelse. Resultatet visade att tillfredsställelse med skiftarbete kan predicera work-life balance utifrån work-family conflict samt family-work conflict, och att arbetet inkräktar mer på privatlivet än vice versa, detta gäller båda tjänstesektorerna. Ålder hade viss påverkan på upplevelsen av att arbetet inkräktade på privatlivet. Resultatet belyser riskområden relevanta för att uppnå en god work-life balance.

Entendida como um processo histórico e relacional, a heterogeneidade social das formas familiares de trabalho e produção na agricultura é abordada nesta tese a partir de uma perspectiva que prima pela análise do universo significativo dos atores da pesquisa. A problematização da política de imigração europeia empreendida no Brasil no século XIX foi o ponto de partida para a definição do recorte empírico. Esta tese responde ao objetivo principal de compreender como se constitui a heterogeneidade social dos coletivos de agricultores nos municípios de Domingos Martins, Santa Teresa e Santa Leopoldina (estado do Espírito Santo) e quais os principais efeitos sociais relacionados ao processo de classificação e distinção social. Para responder a essa pergunta, foram construídos quatro objetivos específicos: o primeiro se refere à compreensão da conformação histórica da região. O segundo objetivo está particularmente relacionado às práticas de agricultura e aos significados socialmente compartilhados. Um terceiro objetivo foi compreender os esquemas nativos de classificação, hierarquização, diferenciação e distinção social. O quarto objetivo centra-se na compreensão dos impactos dos processos de diferenciação que circulam no contexto da pesquisa. A abordagem histórica e a perspectiva etnográfica orientaram as opções metodológicas e as técnicas mais utilizadas foram a pesquisa documental, a observação direta e a aplicação de entrevistas em diferentes fases da pesquisa de campo, que compreendeu períodos nos anos de 2015 e 2016. Como resultado, constatamos que, no contexto da pesquisa, há diferentes formas de fazer agricultura e modos de ser agricultor que relacionam importantes esquemas de produção e apreciação das práticas. Ao utilizar-se desses esquemas, os diferentes coletivos constroem (criam) suas práticas e estratégias num contexto no qual circulam processos de classificação social utilizados para explicar a heterogeneidade e promover distinções. Neste sentido, evidenciam-se dois planos constitutivos da heterogeneidade: um plano que explicita as práticas de agricultura e a agência dos agricultores em definir diversificadas estratégias a partir de esquemas sociais que orientam e dão sentido a suas ações, promovendo a constituição e a reprodução da heterogeneidade socialmente significativa. Num segundo plano de análise, a constituição da heterogeneidade revelou hierarquias e oportunidades desiguais entre os coletivos a partir da naturalização das diferenças dentro de princípios de divisão baseados na origem étnico-racial dos agricultores e no estabelecimento de distanciamento estrutural a partir da retórica da modernização da agricultura. / Understood as a historical and relational process, the social heterogeneity of family work forms and agriculture production is addressed in this thesis from a perspective that take precedence by the analysis of the significant universe of the actors involved in this research. The problematization of the European immigration policy undertaken in Brazil in the 19th century was the starting point for the definition of the empirical cut. This thesis responds to the main objective of understanding how the social heterogeneity of farmers' collectives in the municipalities of Domingos Martins, Santa Teresa and Santa Leopoldina (Espírito Santo state) is constituted and which are the main social effects related to the process of classification and social distinction. Four specific objectives were built to answer this question: the first refers to an understanding of the historical conformation of the region. The second objective is more specific to agricultural practices and to socially shared meanings. A third objective was to understand the native schemes of classification, hierarchy, differentiation and social distinction. The fourth objective focuses in understanding the impacts of differentiation processes that circulate in the research context. A historical approach and ethnographic perspective oriented the methodological options. Documentary research, direct observation and application of interviews in different phases of field research between 2015 and 2016 were the most used techniques. As a result, we found that in the context of the research there are different forms of doing agriculture and ways to be a farmer that relate important schemes of production and appreciation of practices. Using these schemes, different collectives create their practices and strategies in a context in which a process flow of social classification is used to explain heterogeneity and promote distinctions. In this sense, it is noted that two plans constitute the heterogeneity: a plan that exhibits the agricultural practices and the ability of farmers to define diversified strategies based on social schemes that guide and give meaning to their actions, promoting the constitution and reproduction of heterogeneity socially significant. On the second plane of analysis, the constitution of heterogeneity revealed unequal hierarchies and opportunities among the collectives from the naturalization of differences within the principles of di-vision based on the ethnic-racial origin of the farmers and the establishment of structural distance from the rhetoric of the agriculture modernization.

Questa tesi affronta il tema della trasformazione dell’identità maschile e del ruolo paterno, in relazione con il contesto lavorativo. La riflessione sull’identità maschile viene considerata entro la più ampia questione delle differenze di genere, attraverso il contributo dei men’s studies; il ruolo paterno viene studiato in relazione alla sfida della conciliazione tra famiglia e lavoro. La ricerca empirica condotta è quindi volta a studiare come la paternità è vissuta in relazione al ruolo professionale. Il fronte lavorativo viene indagato da una prospettiva specifica e particolare, ovvero quella aziendale. Dal punto di vista metodologico sono stati realizzati tre studi di caso aziendali, con metodo qualitativo, con interviste in profondità volte a cogliere sia la cultura aziendale in termini di supporto per i dipendenti sia l’esperienza concreta dei padri. La complessità che caratterizza il contesto odierno rende difficile scindere i diversi aspetti che costituiscono il sociale. Far convivere in modo armonioso i differenti ruoli è frutto di una capacità personale di riflettere sul contesto in cui ci si inserisce e sulle proprie azioni, in modo da gestire con abilità le sfide quotidiane. / This thesis addresses the issue of the male identity and father's role transformation, in relation to the work context. The reflection on male identity is considered within the broader question of gender differences, through the contribution of men's studies; the father's role is studied in relation to the challenge of the family and work reconciliation. The empirical research is aimed to investigate how fatherhood is experienced in relation to the professional role. The work context is investigated from a specific and particular perspective: the companies. Methodologically, 3 case studies have been carried out, using a qualitative research technique, aimed both to understand the corporate culture in terms of care for employees and the personal experience of fathers. The complexity that characterizes today's context makes it difficult to separate the different aspects that constitute the social world. The ability to harmoniously integrate the different roles comes from a personal capacity to reflect on the context and actions, in order to manage the daily challenges.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka huruvida det finns en skillnad i graden av Work life balance (indelat i grupperna Work Family Conflict och Family Work Conflict) mellan de som har möjlighet att distansarbeta och de som inte har det och mellan de som har barn under 13 år och de som inte har det. Vidare undersöktes om arbetsengagemang kan predicera WLB. För att genomföra studien användes en pappersenkät som delades ut till samtliga anställda på den deltagande organisationen. Totalt samlades 85 enkäter in, varav 84 hade besvarats fullständigt. Resultatet visade en huvudeffekt av distansarbete gällande Work Family Conflict, där de anställda med möjlighet att distansarbeta upplevde en högre grad av Work Family Conflict än de som inte har möjlighet att distansarbeta. Resultatet visade dessutom att de anställda med högre värde på arbetsengagemang upplevde mindre av både Work family Conflict och Family Work Conflict.
