Interim Management

Brossault, Romain, Jaussoin, Rémi January 2010 (has links)
<p>The economic context changes, companies adapt and recruitment evolves. As future managers and leaders, or simply new actors in the working environment, this is our duty to be aware of the demand of the market. The economic situation has a huge impact on the recruitment and this more so in a crisis period (Aswegen, 2009). In order to respond of the need of flexibility, facing crisis situation or simply facing the need of change, Interim Management seems to correspond to this request or is at least one of the tools that companies can take into consideration.</p><p>During the previous phase of our thesis, we realized that only a few people were aware of this promising concept of management. It became a challenge for us, we wanted to know more about this topic and to write a paper in order to share the knowledge that we would gather through the process of depicting this emerging phenomenon called „Interim Management‟ while remaining objective.</p><p>During our research and interviews, we met recruitment consultants, Interim Managers, and corporate human resources directors; all of these meetings helped us to understand companies' needs and what they expect when hiring Interim Managers. Our thesis aims at explaining and depicting the emerging concept of Interim Management in order to give our vision of the reality.</p>

Occupational gender segregation across functional fields

Nilsen, Nadia 22 May 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the nature and degree of occupational gender segregation across the functional fields in South Africa and to determine if existing “supply-side” explanations serve to explain the phenomenon through an attitudinal survey of the females in the sample. The UNISA first year MBL students were requested to complete the survey during their August Centre Visit at the SBL Sasol auditorium in Midrand. The survey consists of two sections. Section A determined the gender of the sample element and subsequently their functional field of occupation, which enabled the calculation of the Karmel and MacLachlan Index per functional field. The Finance, General Management, Information Technology, Operations and Production and Procurement, Buying and Logistics fields showed high levels of integration, while the Marketing, Sales and Customer Service field showed low levels of segregation in favour of women. Human Resources was strongly female dominant, while Research and Development was strongly male dominant. The “Other” field showed the highest level of segregation in favour of women. Section B contains the attitudinal Likert scale questions to measure the extent to which the various supply-side explanations determine the women’s career decisions. There seem to be certain explanation types, such as Exchange Utility and Reward, which serve as strong selection criteria and other factors that play a lesser role, such as Teaching Styles and Self-Image. Based on the averages the Occupational Sex-Typing, Self-Efficacy and Parental Influence explanations showed no agreement from any of the sample elements. / Graduate School of Business Leadership / MBL

Justiça organizacional de gênero nas empresas: os sentidos atribuídos pelos profissionais de recursos humanos / Organizational Justice of gender issues in workplace: HR professionals meaning attribution

Lucas, Angela Christina 07 October 2015 (has links)
As mulheres apresentam maior qualificação, mas menores salários e oportunidades de crescimento de carreira. Como a área de Recursos Humanos (RH) está envolvida, ou é responsável, por essas decisões, questiona-se qual o papel dos profissionais da área pela justiça desses processos decisórios. Nesse contexto, esta tese pretende contribuir com o entendimento das relações entre as mulheres e as empresas em que trabalham, a partir dos conceitos de Gestão Estratégica de RH e Justiça Organizacional. Seu objetivo principal consistiu em revelar quais os sentidos atribuídos pelos profissionais de RH à sua atuação nas questões de Justiça Organizacional relacionada à gênero. O referencial teórico dessa pesquisa foi construído para situar historicamente a evolução do processo de independência econômica das mulheres na sociedade e compreender o papel da área de RH para que essas organizações possam incluir as mulheres dentro de um ambiente em que as políticas e práticas sejam aplicadas de maneira justa para homens e mulheres. O conceito de gênero utilizado para esse trabalho, alinhado à abordagem construcionista utilizada, foi proposto por Scott (1986, p. 1.067), no qual gênero é um \"elemento constitutivo de relações sociais baseado nas diferenças percebidas entre os sexos, e é uma forma primária de significar as relações de poder\", de tal forma que quando há mudanças sociais, essas relações também se transformam. Também são apresentados conceitos sobre a Gestão Estratégica de Recursos Humanos, a partir de uma perspectiva contingencial (LEPAK; SHAW, 2008) e das diferenças entre práticas de RH que valorizam ou dissolvem as diferenças entre os grupos dominantes e os minoritários (LIFF, 1997). No que se refere à Justiça Organizacional, são explicadas as quatro dimensões que formam o conceito, Justiça Distributiva, Procedimental, Interpessoal e Informacional, suas relações com as práticas de RH e com as diferenças de gênero. Adotou-se para esta pesquisa a proposta de análise de práticas discursivas de Spink (2011) e, por ser um assunto em momento de mudança social, adotou-se também a \"Teoria Social do Discurso\" proposta por Fairclough (2001). Verifica-se que os profissionais de RH descrevem a mulher como qualificada, cuidadosa, sensível e com visão holística para a análise das situações. Também são mães (ou serão), heterossexuais e estão em cargos hierárquicos mais altos. Quando as mulheres não apresentam essas características ou comportamentos esperados, são consideradas mais masculinas. Os profissionais de RH atribuem a si mesmo o papel de desenvolver políticas de RH e de influenciar dos gestores, responsáveis pela tomada as decisões de Seleção, Remuneração e Promoção, e também pela criação de um ambiente de trabalho saudável para as mulheres. Durante as entrevistas, foram apresentadas variáveis que impactam a percepção de Justiça Organizacional dos profissionais de RH e outras, relativas à condição da mulher e de contexto, que levam a diferenças entre homens e mulheres. Em relação às práticas de Gestão da Diversidade que poderiam contribuir para uma maior igualdade entre homens e mulheres no ambiente de trabalho, constatou-se que seria possível combinar práticas vinculadas à corrente de Valorização das Diferenças e de Dissolução das Diferenças. / Women are more qualified , but lower salaries and fewer opportunities to grow. As Human Resources (HR) department is involved or is considered responsible for those decisions, the role of its professionals and their fair decisions are put in question. Regarding that, this thesis will ease the understanding between women and the companies they work for, using HR Strategic Management and Organization Justice concepts. Its main target was to show how HR professionals act using Organizational Justice related to gender issues. Theoretical part of this survey was made for a historical set of women\'s economic independence evolution in society and comprehension of HR department role and how it can put women in a workplace where the rights for men and women are equally fair. The gender issue used here based on constructionist approach was suggested by Scott (1986, p.1067) where \'gender is a constitutive element of social relationships based on perceived differences between the sexes, and gender is a primary way of signifying relationships of power\' and this way may be influenced by social changes. There are also concepts of Strategic Management of Human Resources based on perspective contingency (LEPAK; SHAW, 2008) and the different HR ways of valuing or dissolving the differences between major and minor groups (LIFF, 1997). Referring to Organizational Justice, there are four dimensions that create a concept: Distributive, Procedural, Interpersonal and Informational Justice, its links with HR methods and gender issues. To make this survey it was used the analysis of discursive practices by Spink (2011) and as the topic is under social changes, \'Social Theory of Discourse by Fairclough (2001) as well. It\'s shown that HR professionals describe a woman as qualified, careful, sensible, with a holistic view to analyze the situation. They are (or will be) mothers, heterosexuals and occupy high positions. When women don\'t have these characteristics or expected behavior, they are considered more masculine. HR professionals put themselves in charge of developing HR polices and influencing managers responsible for decision taking of Selection, Compensation and Promotion, providing healthy working environment for women as well. During the interviews it was shown that variables influence HR Organizational Justice Professionals and others perception related to woman condition and the context that lead to the difference between men and women. As for Diversity Management methods that could contribute to equality between women and men in the workplace, it was proven that it\'s possible to blend Valuing Difference methods with Dissolving Difference methods.

Educators’ perceptions of operational competencies required in public schools

Chalmers, Janet 07 1900 (has links)
An educator is more than a person who just transmits knowledge. An educator plays many different roles in the lives of learners, colleagues and their immediate community. Educators have the opportunity to influence the community, develop learners holistically, create lifelong learners and reflective thinkers. For an educator to demonstrate such competence across a range of teaching roles and contexts, a vast range of operational competencies are required. The purpose of this study was to examine secondary school educators‟ perceptions of the operational competencies required to function in public schools. The literature study explored the roles of the educator and the operational competencies needed to function in a secondary school. A quantitative survey in the form of a questionnaire was used in the study to analyse the level of agreement that educators attached to certain operational competencies. The level of agreement indicated by the educators is likely to indicate the level of importance that they attach to the operational competency. A probability sampling technique in the form of simple random sampling was used in this study. Random samples were drawn from educators in secondary public schools in the Fezile Dabi and Sedibeng districts. A sample size of 280 educators was used. Of the 280 questionnaires that were administered, 49 were not returned and 20 were incomplete, resulting in 211 usable questionnaires. The results of the survey indicated that the competency factors that educators perceived to be of importance were: communication and behaviour management, interpersonal relationships, planning and assessment, leadership skills and perseverance and organisational commitment. The level of correlation of these identified factors with teaching satisfaction was also assessed- indicating that interpersonal relationships had the highest correlation with teaching satisfaction and factors like planning and assessment, organisational commitment and communication and behaviour management had a moderate influence on teaching satisfaction. v Leadership skills and perseverance do not have a great influence on teaching satisfaction. The value of the research is that it makes a useful contribution for planners in the Department of Education of South Africa by making them aware of the operational competencies required by educators in public schools. The results of the research could be used to develop the operational competencies that are not perceived by educators to be of importance and to enhance the teaching satisfaction of educators.

A constituição do modelo competitivo de gestão de pessoas no Brasil: um estudo sobre as empresas consideradas exemplares / The formation of the competitive model of people management in Brazil: a study about benchmarks firms

Fischer, Andre Luiz 01 October 1998 (has links)
Este estudo foi elaborado visando contribuir para o debate sobre as mudanças que ocorreram na vida empresarial brasileira durante a última década. Seu principal objetivo consiste em analisar uma dimensão particular deste processo de mudança: as Políticas e Práticas de Gestão de Pessoas que foram adotadas como parte do ajuste geral das empresas brasileiras às pressões competitividade. Ele procura identificar se estas mudanças configuram uma nova forma de atuação qualitativamente diferente das anteriores, constituindo o que podemos chamar de Modelo Competitivo de Gestão de Pessoas. Por ser uma abstração teórica, o modelo é inicialmente construído com base no que a literatura nacional e internacional prevê como tendência geral para a área. Depois, através de uma pesquisa com formadores de opinião, se definem dois resultados intermediários do estudo. São selecionadas as tendências mais aplicáveis ao caso brasileiro e se estabelece um conjunto de empresas nacionais mais representativas do novo modelo de formação. Nas empresas mais destacadas, foram realizados estudos de caso. O que permitiu formar um quadro explicativo mais aprofundado sobre as transformações ocorridas na história recente de suas funções de Recursos Humanos. Embora trate-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, que aborda um movimento ainda em curso na vida econômica e empresarial do país, algumas constatações puderam ser reveladas pelas duas técnicas de investigação adotadas. A principal delas é que as empresas realmente alteraram de forma radical a maneira de se relacionar com seus empregados. Passaram a exigir resultados, a estabelecer uma relação mais profissional e diferenciadora do desempenho individual, além de atribuir às pessoas maior responsabilidade. Com isso o ambiente de trabalho tornou-se mais desafiante e estimulador do desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional, ao mesmo tempo em que se transferiu para a vida organizacional os mesmos princípios de competitividade que regem a lógica do mundo dos negócios. Para que isso aconteça, as políticas, processos e procedimentos de Recursos Humanos são formatados de maneira a gerar mais competição, diferenciação e engajamento ao mercado de trabalho, do que solidariedade, cooperação e lealdade à empresa. / The present study was conceived as to contribute for the debate on the changes that took place in the last decade in Brazilian entrepreneurial life. Its main intent is to analyse a particular dimension of this process: the Policies and Practices of Personnel Management, which were adopted as part of the general compromise of Brazilian enterprises to the pressures for competitivity. It endeavours to ascertain whether these changes demarcate a new management style, qualitatively distinct from former experiences, embodying what could be labelled as Competitive Model of Personnel Management. As a theoretical abstraction, the model is initially built on the basis of what national and international literatures foresee as a general trend for the field. Subsequently, by means of a survey with opinion leaders, two intermediate results of the study are defined. Trends best fitted to Brazilian case are selected and a group of national enterprises best representing the new emerging model is established. Case studies were conducted in the most prominent enterprises. This availed the devising of a deeper explaining framework of the transformations occurred in the recent history of their manpower management functions. Despite being an exploratory investigation, that approaches a process still in course in the economical and entrepreneurial life of the country, a few issues could be unveiled through the two techniques adopted. The main item among these is the fact that enterprises are indeed radically changing the way they relate with employees. They came to demand results, and began to establish a relationship more professional and more oriented to individual performances, besides bestowing more responsibility to people. As a corollary, the working environment became more challenging as well as more stimulating for personal and professional development. Simultaneously, the same principles of competitivity that drive the rationale of business world were transferred to corporate life. For such a scenario becoming true, policies, processes and procedures concerning Human Resources are geared at increasing competitiveness, differentiation and engagement to work market instead of solidarity, co-operation and loyalty to the enterprise.

Análise das barreiras à aplicação do treinamento na pequena empresa: estudo de quatro empresas do ramo metal-mecânico de São Carlos - SP / Analysis of the obstacles for application of the training in small business: four cases studies in metal-mechanical companies in the city of São Carlos - SP

Reis, Ana Paula dos 10 August 2001 (has links)
O objetivo principal dessa pesquisa consiste em analisar as barreiras que limitam a aplicação do treinamento na pequena empresa. Entende-se por treinamento o processo de preparo das pessoas para executar as tarefas exigidas por um posto de trabalho, estreitando a diferença entre o que os indivíduos sabem ou podem fazer e o que deverão saber ou fazer no que se refere a habilidades técnicas, conhecimentos e atitudes. Numa perspectiva atual, o treinamento pode contribuir para o desempenho de uma atividade delimitada ou contribuir com a formação integral do indivíduo, constituindo-se num agente estimulador. Com relação a pequena empresa, muito pouco se conhece a respeito das práticas de recursos humanos e da função treinamento. Com o uso da metodologia de multicasos exploratório e descritivo foram estudadas quatro empresas do ramo metal-mecânico da cidade de São Carlos-SP, sendo duas de base tecnológica e duas de tecnologia convencional, analisando as barreiras para aplicação do treinamento e identificando os fatores influentes para a execução de desta prática. Como principais resultados, a pesquisa aponta as barreiras para a aplicação do treinamento na pequena empresa. A contribuição desta pesquisa está não só na análise dessas barreiras, mas na identificação dos fatores que influenciam ou condicionam a necessidade, a natureza e o processo de treinamento. / The main goal of this research is to analyze the obstacles in applying training in small business. Training the process of preparation of employees to execute tasks demanded by a work position, making shorter the difference between what the employee know or can do and what they will have to know or do concerning about technical abilities, knowledge an attitudes. Nowadays, training can improve the performance of a specific task or contribute to the employee\'s integral formation, being thus a stimulator agent. In small business very little is known about human resource practice or about training. Using exploratory and descriptive multicase methodology, four business were studied, all of them from metal-mechanic field in the city of São Carlos, two of them built on technological basis, and the other two on conventional basis; analyzing the obstacles in applying training and recognizing the influent factors in small business. The major contribution of this research lays not only on those obstacles, but also in the identification of the factors that have influence in the nature of the training process.
