Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar um conjunto proposto de indicadores analítico-descritivos e de avaliação de desempenho para frotas de agroindústrias canavieiras brasileiras, já que o Brasil, conforme Lucchesi (1995), é o maior produtor mundial de cana e esta cultura, segundo Paixão (1994), dá trabalho a 3% do total de pessoas empregadas no meio rural do país. Para a coleta de dados dos testes, um questionário foi aplicado para as 323 usinas de açúcar e álcool brasileiras existentes entre 1998 (safra 1997/1998) e 2000 (safra 1999/2000). Na safra 1997/1998, 67 empresas participaram, enquanto foram 73 na safra 1998/1999 e novamente 73 unidades produtoras na safra 1999/2000. Os resultados obtidos mostraram a efetividade dos indicadores sugeridos como ferramenta de gerenciamento das frotas canavieiras, além de mostrarem a tendência das frotas das agroindústrias canavieiras de envelhecimento entre 1997/1998 e 1999/2000 e também de crescimento da sua terceirização. Os resultados também apontam para uma tendência dentre as empresas de crescimento da área com colheita mecanizada e do plantio mecanizado. / The present work is aimed at evaluating a group of proposed analytical-descriptive and performance indicators in Brazilian agro-industry sugarcane fleets. Brazil is the world’s greatest sugarcane producer (Lucchesi, 1995) and this activity employees 3% of the rural labor in the country (Paixão, 1994). The data for testing the proposed group of indicators were collected by means questionnaires filled in by sugarcane agro-industries between 1998 (1997/1998 crop) and 2000 (1999/2000 crop). The number of companies involved in the research were 67, 73 and 73 during the 1997/1998, 1998/1999 and 1999/2000 crops, respectively. The results showed that the evaluated indicators can be used as an effective toll for sugarcane fleets management, besides evidencing an aging tendency of the fleets between 1997/1998 and 1999/2000, as well as an increase in outsourcing. The results also showed a trend toward mechanized planting and mechanized harvest in sugarcane enterprises.

An exploratory study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between personality preference groupings, as described by Jung’s (1959) type theory, and emotional intelligence, as measured by Bar-On’s emotional intelligence quotient (Bar-On, 1997). The sample group consisted of 1 121 recruitment candidates for a South African investment bank. The sixteen personality types, as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, were represented in the sample. The statistical analysis conducted for this study included comparison of means, correlation analysis and analysis of variance. The results indicated statistically significant relationships between the preferences of Extroversion, Judgement, their combined preference grouping and emotional intelligence. No statistically significant relationships were found between the preference groupings of Intuition and Thinking, Sensing and Thinking, Intuition and Feeling, and Sensing and Feeling. The preferred Feeling preference type consistently scored the lowest in terms of emotional intelligence scores. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology

L’enseignement supérieur malien et notamment l’Université de Bamako est confrontée à d’énormes difficultés depuis plusieurs années. Qu’est ce qui explique ces difficultés et comment faire pour rendre plus efficace cet enseignement supérieur afin de rehausser les niveaux et le rendre compétitif sur le plan sous régional et international ? Cette question nous a conduit à nous intéresser à l’étude de son efficacité interne. Le présent travail est une contribution à la recherche de facteurs de ces difficultés et d’alternatives pour y remédier. Il tente de dégager des pistes de réflexion sur l’amélioration des conditions de travail de l’Université de Bamako.La Faculté des Lettres, Langues, Arts et Sciences humaines de l’Université de Bamako a été retenue comme terrain de la recherche. Après la recherche documentaire pour l’élaboration d’une revue de littérature, la préférence a été donnée en premier lieu à une analyse des résultats d’examens de deux promotions de la filière Sciences de l’éducation de 2001 à 2009. Dans l’analyse il a été question d’indicateurs tels que l’évolution des effectifs, les taux de réussite, d’abandon, d’exclusion, le genre et les caractéristiques extra universitaires des étudiants. Cette analyse qui a conclu à une faible efficacité interne de l’Université de Bamako a été suivie par d’autres investigations par entretiens, observations et questionnaires auprès d’un échantillon d’étudiants, d’enseignants et d’administrateurs de l’Université. Après une analyse des données recueillies lors de ces investigations, nous avons terminé par une discussion de l’ensemble des résultats. / The Malian higher education and notably the University of Bamako is confronted to enormous difficulties since several years.
