Die effek van leierskap op verandering in 'n nie-winsgewende organisasieViljoen, Aletta Magrietha 30 November 2002 (has links)
Summaries in English and Afrikaans / Hierdie studie is onderneem om die effek van leierskap op verandering in 'n nie-winsgewende
organisasie te bepaal. 'n Literatuur- en 'n empiriese studie is onderneem. Literatuur beklemtoon
dat verandering 'n realiteit in 'n organisasie is, 'n veranderingsagent die proses meet dryf en dat
die transformasieleierskapstyl die gewenste styl vir veranderingsbestuur is. Navorsing toon dat
verandering vanwee eksterne invloede wel voorkom. Verwarring ten opsigte van wie die rol en
verantwoordelikheid as veranderingsagent moet vertolk kom egter in die navorsing na vore. Die
wyse en frekwensie waarop kommunikasie ten opsigte van verandering plaasgevind het, word oor
die algemeen positief deur die respondente ervaar, maar respondente toon egter ook positiewe en
negatiewe gedragsreaksies aan ten opsigte van verandering. Respondente toon dat die
transformasieleierskapstyl met leierskapsgedrag/-kenmerke wat verband hou met integriteit
toeganklikheid en objektiwiteit hul tot deelname aan verandering motiveer. Navorsing toon ook
dat leierskapspotensiaal en die behoefte aan leierskapsontwikkeling by respondente teenwoordig
is. Navorsing het bevestig dat leierskap 'n effek op verandering in 'n nie-winsgewende organisasie
het. / This research aims to establish whether leadership has an effect on change in a not-for-profit
organisation. A literature and empirical study were conducted. Literature indicated that change in
organisations is a reality and that organisations need to appoint change agents in order to facilitate
the change process. Research has shown that change in noHor-profit organisation was caused by
external influences and indicated that confusion exists as to whom the role and responsibility of
change agent belongs to. Respondents indicated that they were generally positive about the
frequency and way in which change was communicated but they indicated both positive and
negative behavioral reactions to change. The transformational leadership style is highlighted as
the best leadership style to manage change. The transformational leadership style with leadership
behavior such as integrity, approachability and objectivity motivates respondents to participate in
the change process. Research also indicated that respondents have leadership potential and have
a need for leadership development. This study confirmed that leadership has an effect on change
in a not-for-profit organisation.

Developing an integrated marketing communication framework for selected museums in South Africa / T.E. Mudzanani.Mudzanani, Takalani Eric January 2013 (has links)
Responding to the need to fill the research gap in the area of museum integrated marketing communication, the study investigated the planned, unplanned, product and service messages of selected museums in South Africa. These selected museums were the Ditsong and Iziko clusters of museums in the Gauteng Province and the Western Cape Province respectively. The clusters were selected because they are the biggest clusters of museums in the country.
In an attempt to fill the research gap, the goal of the study was to develop and present an integrated marketing communication framework for the selected museums. In order to realise the goal of the study, four objectives were set. Consistent with the first objective chapter 2 analysed the South African cultural tourism sector. In this regard, the literature review revealed that South Africa’s cultural product offering is multifaceted with arts, cultural villages, literature, battlefields, museums, heritage sites nd religion comprising the main tourist attractions. Moreover, the literature review revealed that the two clusters of museums offer diversified product portfolios.
The second objective was achieved in chapter 3 by analysing integrated marketing communication by means of a literature review. The literature review revealed that IMC is a logical structure of developing communication strategies. An organisation should control (planned) or influence messages (unplanned, product, service) messages to ensure message consistency and maximum communication impact. In simple terms, an organisation should strive to match its brand promise made through planned messages with actual performance as reflected in its product, service, and unplanned messages.
The third objective was to analyse empirically the planned, unplanned, product and service messages of the Ditsong and Iziko clusters of museums. The results of the empirical phase of the study were presented in chapter 4. Following a mixed methods research approach, the first component of the empirical phase involved in- depth interviews with the marketing managers of the museum clusters while the second component involved a survey of visitors to the clusters. The qualitative data was analysed by establishing themes which had emerged from the interviews with the marketing managers. The quantitative data was analysed using the SPSS programme. In order to establish the relationships between the variables, a factor analysis was conducted. In addition, T-tests and ANOVAs were also conducted. The factor analysis produced three factors namely, factor 1: Above-the-line media, factor 2: Internal and external marketing and factor 3: Marketing public relations. The t-test and ANOVAs revealed that the respondents across age, province of residence, visitor retention and educational level rate service messages the most highly of all the IMC messages. On the whole, the empirical study revealed that both the participants and the respondents share the same views on what should be done in terms of the planned, unplanned, service and product messages of museums to ensure message consistency and maximum communication impact. The structural equation modelling indicated the interrelatedness of the various messages as well as their influence on one another.
The fourth objective was to develop and present an integrated marketing communication framework for the Ditsong and Iziko museum clusters. This objective was realised in chapter five. The framework was informed by both the literature review and the empirical study. As regards the literature review the framework differs from some other works on IMC in that an attempt was made to align the framework to IMC message typology in its entirety. With regard to the empirical study, the IMC programme phase of the framework incorporates the recommendations of the respondents. It is hoped that the framework will empower the museums both to ensure message consistency and to maximise communication impact in spite of the divergent message needs of their multiple stakeholders. / Thesis (PhD (Tourism Management))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

Die aard van kommunikasie in ontwikkelingsprojekte van die Studente-JOOL-Gemeenskapsdiens (NWU-PUKKE) / Carla Martina Visser.Visser, Carla Martina January 2012 (has links)
The Student RAG Community Service (SRCS), a unique non-governmental organisation (NGO) of the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University, aims to support and to enable other NGOs to function independently. For this reason, the communication between the SRCS and these NGOs is viewed from the sub discipline of development communication, with the participative approach currently being perceived as the normative approach to communication for development.
Communication between the SRCS and representatives of the NGOs should therefore conform to the principles of the participative approach to development communication to contribute to empowerment and development. The principles of the participative approach that was identified as relevant to this study are participation, dialogue, cultural sensitivity, to enable the community to be self-reliant and community development.
This study is qualitative in nature and the research methods used to gather information about the nature of communication between the SRCS and the representatives of the projects are qualitative content analysis, partially structured interviews and observer–participant reporting.
Although this study has focused only on early child development projects, the nature of these projects and their communication varied to a large extent. The overall conclusion of this study is that there are gaps in the participative communication between the SRCS and the representatives of all the researched projects. The type of communication between the SRCS and early childhood development projects did not conform to the principles of cultural sensitivity, community development and the enablement of the community to be self-reliant. These gaps are attributed in part to the present documentation of the SRCS (2010 annual report, portfolio descriptions, transfer reports and minutes of 2010’s and 2011’s meetings) as well as the fact that this NGO’s training guidelines do not emphasise the importance of participatory principles, and do not offer sufficient training in the implementation of these principles to its various members.
Although the results indicate that the communication between the SRCS and the representatives of the projects presently does not conform to the principles of participative communication, the organisation is committed to addressing these gaps in future. / Thesis (MA (Communication Studies))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

Building a culture of safety : the nature of communication between the Maquassi hills fire services and the community / Fourie, KFourie, Kristel January 2011 (has links)
Citizens in many provinces in South Africa have increasingly become more vocal about their unhappiness concerning service delivery in many departments of Government; their needs are not being met. Their violence and anger are usually aimed at emergency planners and government institutions, such as the police services, emergency medical services and fire services, therefore adding to various other challenges and difficulties these institution experience in carrying out their responsibilities (News Today, 2008). These institutions are also directly involved in the Disaster Risk Reduction process and play a key role in building a culture of safety and prevention within their communities by distributing knowledge and teaching skills (Twigg, 2004). Twigg (2004) argues that providing communities with information is the only way in which the scale, frequency, and complexity of disasters can be addressed. This should be
done by following a multi–disciplinary approach that includes participatory development communication as a tool. The term participatory development communication refers to communication between parties where information transfer is de–emphasised and the process of dialogue between participants is favoured (Jacobson & Kolluri, 1999). This allows for solutions to problems to be identified in a collective fashion (Twigg, 2004; Jacobson & Kolluri, 1999). In
light of the above the Maquassi Hills Fire Service’s relationship with the community has a major
impact on the contribution the fire services make to building a culture of safety and also to what
extent the community works towards building a culture of safety –– and thereby reducing
disaster risk within the community. This study, consequently, aims to investigate the current
relationship between the Maquassi Hills Fire Services and the community they serve, as well as
the role of participatory development communication in this relationship. In order to do so this
study explore various guidelines and principles set out by the literature in terms of participatory
development communication and culture of safety to establish to what extent the Maquassi
Hills Fire Services adhere to these principles and guidelines in their day–to–day functioning. This
has been done by using a qualitative research design. Data collection methods appropriate to
the qualitative research design were used to collect the necessary data. These methods
included focus group discussions with members of the communities in the Maquassi Hills area
and semi–structured interviews with the staff and management of the Maquassi Hills Fire
Services. Guidelines and principles established in theory were used to describe and evaluate the
current situation between the Maquassi Hills Fire Services and the surrounding communities to
5
whom they provide the service of fire fighting. The two main areas of theory addressed were
that of Participatory Development Communication and that of a culture of safety as it presents
in the Disaster Risk Reduction field. These were also the two main areas investigated in the
empirical phase of the study. From the research it was found that in terms of Participatory
Development Communication very little is being done by the fire services to establish dialogical
communication. Thus creating opportunities for communities to communicate with the fire
services by developing relevant communication channels is not being facilitated. However
communities are eager to establish such an interactive relationship with the fire services. The
data indicated that when the principles and guidelines for building a culture of safety are
considered there exist various positive aspects. If these aspects are utilised and facilitated in the
correct manner it may facilitate the process of building a culture of safety. It is therefore
recommended that the fire services should start interacting with the communities in the
Maquassi Hills area. Most of the issues experienced in the relationship between the fire services
and the communities can to some extent be ascribed to the fact that the fire services do not
reach out to the communities they serve. Interactions with the community should be based on
the principles of participatory development communication which will ensure that dialogue is
established and information is exchanged. Also very important in the Maquassi Hills area is
supplying the communities with relevant, regular, correct and coherent fire safety information
and skills. People in these communities need the necessary fire safety information to ensure
their safety in terms of fire. By allowing people in these communities to participate in planning
and implementing initiatives aimed at informing people, awareness campaigns and information
sessions will be suited to the specific areas. This will mean that communities receive
information relevant to their situation and circumstances and ultimately initiatives will be more
effective, allowing the opportunity for a good culture of safety with regard to fire to be built. / Thesis (M. Development and Management)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

‘n Gemeenskapsgerigte model vir geloofsvorming van tieners in die verbondsgesin deur middel van simbole en rituele (Afrikaans)De Wet, Dirk Cornelis 02 October 2003 (has links)
Compare diagram 1: ‘n Paradigmaverandering van teorie na praktyk en van gemeente na gesin en gemeenskap” and diagram 2: “Die siklus van geloofsbemiddeling”. The family is the most important building system in the church, the society and the whole world. The family is also the cradle and even the womb of the symbolic way in religious education. Almost all families stay in a community where interactions of faith take place. Teenagers leave the church because there are not enough exciting activities in the community to be part of a transformation process for a better life. For that reason the paradigm in this research emphasises an event-driven teenage and family ministry within the community. That means a ministry that accentuates processes, people and relations. Faith development cannot find a place outside the relationship of human beings. Relationship is the password to understanding and the most natural form of relationship is the family. The covenantal family is the most important building system in the church, the society and the whole world. To develop a model for teenage and family ministry for this purpose, the research will emphasise practicing more than theorising, although the dialogue between these two factors in practical theology is of utmost importance. Better relationships within the family, congregation and the community needs better communication. For that reason symbols and rituals are a necessary part of the whole process of teenage and family ministry which is community-directed. God acts within the lives of individuals and groups, but planned the family as the most important unit for interaction. No religion can be without a God and no religion can be without people. All people are born into one or another kind of family and have a God-given need to be part of a group even when ostracised by families or the society. The community of faith never lives in a vacuum - it is always in the midst of cultural reality which is a powerful influence. The faith of this community is embedded in the context of symbols, rituals and narratives. To be busy with practical theology, with this paradigm in mind, needs a threefold exegesis: an exegesis of the Bible, an exegesis of the culture, and an exegesis of the self and the community. Strengthening the inner life of churches and their relation to their immediate communities should be the first priority of the leaders of churches. Churches have a covenant responsibility to help people develop and sustain strong and healthy families. / Dissertation (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2004. / Practical Theology / unrestricted
