The thesis deals with the identity of social work and social workers. It aims to describe a current perception of the identity of social work and social workers in the Czech Republic by social workers and the whole society. The thesis therefore reflects the current state of the identity and also mentions various influences on it, as well as impacts that result from this situation. In connection with this problem the thesis presents basic documents and institutions important for social work and social workers, as well as important figures in Czech contemporary social work or social workers typology. The thesis also includes a research aiming to describe the current perception of the identity of social work and social workers, both by social workers and the society, which in turn enables to compare these two perspectives.

The purpose of this study is to conduct an investigation of the lived experiences of asthma and sporting embodiment in non-elite sportspeople of different ages and levels of ability, involved in a range of sports. Asthma is characterised as a breathing disorder and the aim of this research is to add to embodied literature by providing ‘fleshy’ realities of the moving, sweating, sensuous sporting body, which holds meanings, purposes and interests for people who experience sport with asthma. Breathing is not only a physiological process, but it is also cultural and people may deal with their asthma symptoms in ways that reflect cultural attitudes embedded in sport. This qualitative study addresses five exploratory questions: 1) How do sportspeople experience asthma? 2) How do sportspeople negotiate their asthma and sporting identities? 3) How do emotional dimensions play a role in sportspeople’s asthma and sporting experiences? 4) How do perceptions of environment and illness shape one another by examining the relationship between the body, the self and environment? 5) What is the role of trauma in sportspeople with asthma? 6) How do key senses (sound) play a role in sportspeople’s asthma and embodied sporting experiences? Through a symbolic-interactionsist and phenomenological-inspired approach, this research places emphasis on the mind-body-self nexus in relation to sensory experiences with a focus upon the centrality of the ‘visceral’ body in the relationship between self-consciousness and the self. A bodily disruption (e.g., asthmatic attack) is likely to heighten awareness of the body-self and contingency and may amplify how sportspeople listen to their own embodied selves when engaged in sporting action. Therefore, sportspeople may become even more acutely aware of, and attuned to, their breathing in ways that link the physiological, the psychological, the social and the environment. This may lead to a permanent re-ordering/negotiation of identities (e.g., athletic identity - asthma identity) through ‘emotion work’ and ‘somatic (auditory) work’ in which a concern with the body is central. The findings are represented as a typology consisting of Conformers, Contesters and Creators, which may be used as a framework to assist health care and sporting professionals in developing more appropriate and effective rehabilitation regimes for sportspeople, in order to improve the quality of treatment and outcomes.

The study included 22 coordinators, originating from their network teaching, working in day care centers, children's education I and II, I and II school and / or Education for Youth and Adults. The question that guided this research problem was how the coordinators of the public schools of Cubatão build their professional identity. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire with exploratory intentions, semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis focusing on the elements and processes that have contributed and contribute to this professional identity construction. Entering on the subjectivity field presented by subjects proved essential to answer the proposition presented and thus seek the meanings that attach to be, being, doing and feeling, for the task they daily undertake to coordinate the teaching in school. The transition from raw data to organized data was held from the content analysis enunciated by Bardin (2011) and validated by means of triangulation in perspective Minayo (1999). To support the analysis of thematic coordination pedagogical used the authors: Franco (2005, 2007, 2008, 2012) Fusari (1992.1997) and Placco (2006, 2008, 2011, 2012), for the issue of training, professionalization identity and teaching / professional: Franco (2007, 2008, 2012), Franco and Ghedin (2011), Abdalla (2006), Libâneo (2007, 2008), Pinto (2011), Freire (2002, 2011, 2012), Sacristan (2000), Silva (1996), Contreras (2012), Pimenta (2007, 2012) and Tardif (2009, 2012). The resumption of the history of education and teaching was carried out in theoretical: Romanelli (2012) and Saviani (2008), and to support the pedagogy as science education: Franco (2008), Pimenta (2012) and Libâneo (2008). As a result of this investigation, it was found that the identity construction of the pedagogical coordinator in question is happening in the face of everyday difficulties mentioned by the subjects, which constituted the categories of this research, namely resistance, accumulation and loneliness. These, in turn, the view expressed in this research represent difficulties to overcome in the personal, collective and institutional framework for these professionals may perceive school teacher, based on knowledge of pedagogy. The data collected suggests that for it happening, there have to be spaces and institutional actions, occasioned by the Education Department, highlighting the effective collective work at schools. / Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa que teve como objeto de estudo a construção da identidade do coordenador pedagógico na rede de ensino pública do município de Cubatão. Participaram deste estudo 22 coordenadores pedagógicos, oriundos da respectiva rede de ensino, que atuam em creches, educação infantil I e II, ensino fundamental I e II e/ou Educação de Jovens e Adultos. A questão problema que norteou esta pesquisa foi como os coordenadores pedagógicos da rede pública de ensino do município de Cubatão constroem sua identidade profissional. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionário com intenções exploratórias, entrevista semi estruturada, depoimentos e análise documental com foco nos elementos e processos que contribuíram e contribuem para a constituição identitária deste profissional. Adentrar o campo da subjetividade das colocações apresentadas pelos sujeitos se mostrou imprescindível para responder a proposição apresentada e, assim, buscar os sentidos que atribuem ao ser, estar, fazer e sentir, para a tarefa que empreendem diariamente ao coordenar o pedagógico na escola. A transição dos dados brutos para os dados organizados foi realizada a partir da análise de conteúdo enunciada por Bardin (2011) e validada por meio da triangulação na perspectiva de Minayo (1999). Para fundamentar a análise da temática referente à coordenação pedagógica utilizei os autores: Franco (2005, 2007, 2008, 2012) Fusari (1992,1997) e Placco (2006, 2008, 2011, 2012); para a questão da formação, profissionalização docente e identidade docente/profissional: Franco (2007, 2008, 2012), Franco e Ghedin (2011), Abdalla (2006), Libâneo (2007, 2008), Pinto (2011), Freire (2002, 2011, 2012), Sacristán (2000), Silva (1996), Contreras (2011), Pimenta (2007, 2012) e Tardif (2009, 2012). A retomada da história da educação e da pedagogia foi realizada com aporte teórico em: Romanelli (2012) e Saviani (2008), e para fundamentar a pedagogia como ciência da educação: Franco (2008), Pimenta (2012) e Libâneo (2008). Como resultado desta investigação constatou-se que a constituição identitária do coordenador pedagógico em questão está acontecendo no enfrentamento cotidiano das dificuldades apontadas pelos sujeitos e que constituíram as categorias desta pesquisa, a saber: resistência, acúmulo e solidão. Estas, por sua vez, do ponto de vista defendido nesta pesquisa, representam dificuldades a serem superadas nos âmbitos pessoal, coletivo e institucional para que este profissional possa se perceber pedagogo escolar, alicerçado nos saberes da pedagogia. Os dados coletados sugerem que para isso acontecer, há de se ter espaços e ações institucionais, oportunizados pela Secretaria de Educação, que valorizem o efetivo trabalho coletivo nas unidades escolares.

Nesse sentido, observa-se que quem detém a capacidade de criar e inovar são as pessoas, através do conhecimento. Sendo assim, para se obter sucesso sustentável é necessário o investimento das empresas no seu público interno. Essa dissertação tem o objetivo de aliar o tema Recursos Humanos à Responsabilidade Social como forma de potencializar pontos estratégicos, integrando resultados econômicos e sociais. O estudo trata da interface entre as práticas da área de Recursos Humanos, com foco no desenvolvimento de pessoas, e a concepção de Responsabilidade Social, em especial a Responsabilidade Social interna, um conceito pouco explorado no meio acadêmico e nas Organizações. Esse conceito prioriza o diagnóstico das relações no trabalho, identificando os atores-chave, as formas de gestão e a estrutura organizacional como ambiente favorável às relações em rede; promovendo o compartilhamento do saber e o desenvolvimento do potencial criativo do ser humano. Além de destacar a importância das pessoas para o sucesso das organizações, esse estudo permitirá trazer à luz a relevância da empresa como uma das principais instituições responsáveis pela formação da identidade do ser humano nos dias atuais. Através da pesquisa bibliográfica e da pesquisa de campo, utilizando como metodologia o estudo de caso na Central de Relacionamento da Ampla Energia e Serviços SA, pretende-se analisar, sobre os pontos de interseção entre Recursos Humanos e Responsabilidade Social, as vantagens competitivas de combinar esse dois temas. / Constant technological, economic and sociocultural change in today’s world has created a climate of increased competition, and staying one step ahead requires companies to invest in innovation. A deeper analysis of innovation and creativity reveals the necessity of developing human capital through knowledge transfers. In other words, achieving sustainable corporate success depends on investiments in personnel. Thesis aims to combine the subject matters of Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility in order to strategize more effectively for positive economic and social outcomes. The study will address the interrelation between the praxis of Human Resources, which focuses on the development of personnel, with the notion of internal social responsibility, a concept little explored in either the academic literature or civil society organizations. This approach emphasizes an analysis of workplace relationships, including the identification of the key actors, forms of management, and wider organizational structure, that are conducive to an empowering environment for the promotion of network relations, knowledge sharing and harnessing creative human potential. Beyond highlighting the centrality of people to corporate success, the research also brings to light the relevance of the company as a principal institution in the formation of human identity today. Through literature review and field research – using as methodology a case study from the department of customer services at Ampla Energia e Serviços SA – the project examines the intersection between Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility and the competitive advantages of combining these two themes.

In der vorliegenden qualitativen Studie wird der Zusammenhang zwischen Biografie und Identitätsarbeit im höheren Lebensalter untersucht. Die Autorinnen betrachten hierbei vor allem die Rolle von Anerkennung als Teil der Identitätsarbeit in ihrer biografischen Verfasstheit sowie die Rolle von Anerkennung im sozialen Kontext einer intergenerationellen Gruppe. Den Medien kommt dabei aufgrund ihres zentralen Stellenwerts innerhalb der Gruppe und den Möglichkeiten, die sie den Subjekten als Orientierungsangebote und Ausdrucksmittel bieten, eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Neben Einblicken in den Zusammenhang von Identitätsarbeit und Biografie diskutiert die Untersuchung ebenso die Bedeutung von Medienkompetenz als Ressource für Anerken-nung und leitet Handlungsempfehlungen für die (intergenerationelle) pädagogische Praxis ab.

The entrance of women into ordained ministry positions is a relatively new phenomenon in the North American Christian church, and has yet to be given adequate scholarly attention. This thesis probes the experiences of several pioneering women, presenting both the substantial and theoretical contributions emerging from a qualitative study of female pastors ministering in Protestant congregations across Canada. Data collection and analysis were approached through the lens of symbolic interactionism and grounded theory. The main findings emerging from 44 qualitative, in-depth interviews have been organized into three distinct papers to constitute a sandwich dissertation. The first paper outlines how some women experience a “call” to ministry and how this change in trajectory impacts their identity and constructions of the past, while the second two papers address different facets of performing the pastoral role once within it. Paper 2 explores the dilemmas women encounter in the area of clothing and appearances, a concern many of the women identified as influencing their performance of the pastoral role. Paper 3 explores in greater depth the ways women feel they perform the pastoral role differently than their male counterparts, and raises questions about the impact this may have on changing the role in the future. Taken together, the three papers contribute to a broad range of debates in the theoretical literature about key facets of the human experience, including: changing career trajectories, role making and performance of self, and microlevel influences on institutional change. The dissertation also encourages a new direction for sociological research – human interactions with the divine. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / This thesis investigates what it is like to be a female pastor in the Christian church in Canada, as women have only recently been able to be fully ordained in most Protestant denominations. Three themes are explored: (1) how women decide to enter into Christian ministry, (2) how they navigate dilemmas around clothing in the pastoral role, and (3) how they feel they do pastoral ministry differently than their male counterparts. On a more theoretical level, this thesis also helps us understand the experiences of women entering traditionally male occupations, illuminating how they – and perhaps anyone who undergoes a career transition – navigate changes in work roles and identities, how clothing can help them achieve legitimacy in a role, and how women may be changing the professions they enter into in large numbers by doing their work differently.

Cette thèse a pour but d’analyser comment se déroule le processus de construction de l’identité professionnelle et comment ce processus a lieu moyeannt la précarité de la reconnaissance au travail de part de ses pairs et par l’hiérarchie. L’identité professionnelle correspond à un processus qui commence lors de la fin des cours de formation; qui continue tout au long de la confrontation avec les relations, l’ambiance et le marché de travail et qui rend possible la construction d’une image personnelle que l’individu veut présenter. Par l’analyse du processus de socialisation du professionnel dans les relations de travail il devient possible non seulement de comprendre le processus de construction de l’identité professionnelle, mais aussi de s’approcher du concept de profession dans l’actualité. En faisant cette analyse, on vérifie, par conséquent, la construction de l’identité au travail, qui se fonde sur trois éléments – la reconnaissance, l’autonomie et la coopération au travail – et qui confère à l’individu la possibilité d’un retour sur soi même capable de lui faire se sentir inclus dans des cercles d’égaux. Afin d’analyser le processus de construction de l’identité professionnelle, on a décidé d’ajouter un quatrième élement, celui de la connaissance professionnelle, lequel, tout comme les autres éléments cités ci-dessous, est l’un des axes d’analyse de cette thèse. Comme source de matériel empirique, on a choisi l’analyse du professionnel physiothérapeute inséré dans une unité de traitement intensif, en vue de l’indéfinition éventuelle de ses attributions et de ses contributions au travail de l’unité de traitement intensif, par rapport au travail du médecin, par exemple. La méthodologie utilisée dans cette thèse s’est fondée sur une approche qualitative, avec des questionnaires demistructurés qui ont été présentés le long de 2009 à 20 physiothérapeutes, 17 médecins et 17 infirmiers qui travaillent dans 14 unités de traitement intensif dans la ville de Porto Alegre, aussi que sur l’observation directe de deux unités de traitement intensif. L’analyse de contenu des donnés collectées permis comprendre le matériel empirique associé au référentiel théorique. Comme résultat de cette étude, on voit le rôle du processus de construction de l’identité au travail comme une étape conditionnante de la construction de l’identité professionnelle. En plus, cette étude démontre l’importance de la connaissance professionnelle, caracterisée par la connaissance scientifique, contextuelle et réflexive, comme condition pour qu’un travailleur puisse construire une identité professionnelle stabilisée. Moyennant l’impossibilité que l’individu ne construise une identité au travail stabilisée à cause de la précarité de la reconnaissance au travail, on s’aperçoit de la difficulté que le professionnel trouve pour gagner de la visibilité et pour construire la connaissance professionnel dans les relations de travail. Ladite difficulté tend à compromettre la construction de l’identité professionnel. / Esta tese tem por objetivo analisar como ocorre o processo de construção da identidade profissional e como este processo acontece mediante a precariedade de reconhecimento no trabalho pelos pares e pela hierarquia. A identidade profissional corresponde a um processo que tem seu início na saída do curso de formação e que continua ao longo da confrontação com as relações, o ambiente e o mercado de trabalho e que proporciona a construção de uma imagem pessoal que o indivíduo quer apresentar. Entende-se que ao analisar o processo de socialização do profissional nas relações de trabalho torna-se possível compreender não apenas o processo de construção da identidade profissional, mas também permite se aproximar do conceito de profissão na atualidade. Ao realizar tal análise, verifica-se, por conseguinte, a construção da identidade no trabalho que tem por base três elementos – o reconhecimento, a autonomia e a cooperação no trabalho – e que confere ao indivíduo a possibilidade de um retorno a si mesmo capaz de sentir-se incluído em círculos iguais. Para analisar o processo de construção da identidade profissional, opta-se por agregar um quarto elemento, o conhecimento profissional, que junto aos elementos citados anteriormente compõem os eixos de análise desta tese. Como material empírico, optou-se por analisar o profissional fisioterapeuta inserido em UTI pela indefinição eventual de suas atribuições e contribuições no trabalho da UTI em comparação ao trabalho médico, por exemplo. A metodologia utilizada neste estudo amparou-se em uma abordagem qualitativa, com a utilização de roteiros de entrevista semi-estruturados que foram aplicados em 20 fisioterapeutas, 17 médicos e 17 enfermeiros atuantes em 14 diferentes UTIs na cidade de Porto Alegre ao longo do ano de 2009, bem como a observação direta de duas UTIs. Foi realizada uma análise de conteúdo dos dados coletados que permitiram a compreensão do material empírico associado ao referencial teórico. Como resultado deste estudo, destaca-se o papel do processo de construção da identidade no trabalho como etapa condicionante à construção da identidade profissional. Ademais, este estudo demonstra a importância do conhecimento profissional caracterizado pelo conhecimento científico, contextual e reflexivo, como condição para que o trabalhador possa construir uma identidade profissional estabilizada. Mediante a impossibilidade do indivíduo construir uma identidade no trabalho estabilizada em decorrência da precariedade de reconhecimento no trabalho, percebe-se a dificuldade do profissional em dar visibilidade e construir o conhecimento profissional nas relações de trabalho. Tal dificuldade tende a comprometer a construção da identidade profissional. / This thesis analyzes how the process of professional identity building takes place and, in particular, how it takes place in the context of precarious recognition by peers and superiors at work. Professional identity is a process that begins at the end of one’s studies, goes on throughout the period one faces labor relations, environment and market, and makes possible the building of a personal image that individuals want to present. By analyzing the professional’s process of socialization in labor relations, we can not only understand the process of professional identity building, but also approach the concept of profession in our days. By carrying out such an analysis, we see the building of identity at work, which is based on three elements – recognition, autonomy and cooperation at work – and which gives individuals a chance to return to themselves to feel included in peer circles. To analyze the process of professional identity building we choose to add a fourth element, professional knowledge, which, together with the other elements aforementioned, is an axe of this thesis. The empirical material source of this thesis was professional physiotherapists working at Intensive Care Units (ICUs), due to their frequently indefinite attributions and contributions to the work, in comparison to physicians’ work, for example. The methodology used in this thesis is based on a qualitative approach, with semi-structured questionnaires which were handed out to 20 physiotherapists, 17 physicians and 17 nurses working at 14 ICUs in Porto Alegre in 2009, as well as on direct observation of two ICUs. The content analysis of the data collected was used to understand the empirical material associated with the theory references. As an outcome of this study, we view the role of the identity at work building process as a stepping stone to professional identity building. Besides, this study highlights how important professional knowledge, characterized by scientific, contextual and reflexive knowledge, is as a condition for workers to build a stable professional identity. By being impossible for individuals to build a stable identity at work due to precarious recognition at work, we realize how difficult it is for them to gain visibility and build professional knowledge at labor relations. Such a difficulty tends to compromise professional identity building.
