En känsla för service : En studie av känsloarbete inom restaurangbranschen

Ocklind, Matilda, Loborg, Matilda January 2017 (has links)
Denna uppsats behandlar hur timanställda inom restaurangbranschen använder sina känslor för att utföra sitt jobb som servitris. Hochschilds teori om känsloarbete har använts för att förstå arbetet med känslor som ligger bakom service, medan Goffmans dramaturgiska teori nyttjades för att ge större förståelse för rollen som timanställd och vad det innebär i relation till varandra. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med åtta timanställda i 20-årsåldern. Resultatet visar att rollen som timanställd ofta gör känsloarbete mer påfrestande då möjligheterna till att ventilera är mindre på grund av sämre relationer till chefer och kollegor, samt att mindre eller ingen återkoppling och otydliga förhållningsregler försvårar arbetet. De kvinnliga servitriser som intervjuades behövde dessutom utföra en form av dubbelt känsloarbete gentemot såväl kunden som andra kollegor.

Performing place, performing the past| Regional identity, Mexican labor, and antimodernism at Fred and Florence Bixby's Rancho Los Alamitos

Hernandez, Holly N. G. 06 April 2017 (has links)
<p> This thesis examines the premodern and ethnically stratified labor and social structure maintained at Rancho Los Alamitos in Long Beach, California during the early-to-mid twentieth century as an expression and performance of an idealized regional identity with roots in a romanticized sense of past and place. Amid dramatic urbanization, industrialization, and corporatization, the rancho&rsquo;s owners, Fred and Florence Bixby, made significant efforts to maintain past views, technology, and paternalistic social relations with their Mexican employee tenants. To be sure, the desire to preserve an idealized western lifestyle as well as a particular class position motivated such efforts. Moreover, while this daily performance of an idealized regionalism signified a rejection of the modern progress hailed by most elite white southern Californians, it nevertheless constituted a conscious exercise in defining modernity.</p>

Congressional Legislation as a Remedy to Prevent Communist Influence of Labor Unions and Union Officials

Doss, Cecil B. 01 1900 (has links)
The United States and other nations of the free world are presently engaged in a life and death struggle. This conflict is between democracy and Communism--freedom versus slavery. In the classical definition of war, opponents and battlefields were readily defined, but in this "Cold War" conventional arms are only a part of the over-all battle plan. The persistent effort of the Communists to infiltrate and dominate the American labor movement is one of these battlefields. Domination and control of labor unions has been a primary goal of the Communist Party in the United States. In recent years, the power of organized labor has demonstrated its strength throughout our national economy. Labor organizations have the power to create, in this country, a state of national emergency. The problem is how this power can be controlled and protected for the American worker.

Analyzing the integration of migrants in the Eurozone: lessons for the EU integration

De Luna Gallardo, Gustavo January 2014 (has links)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Social Sciences Institute of Economic Studies Bibliographic Record of a an Academic Thesis Title in the language of the thesis (as recorded in SIS) Analyzing the integration of migrants in the Eurozone: lessons for the EU integration Subtitle Translation of the title into English/Czech (as recorded in SIS) Type of the Thesis Master's thesis Author: Gustavo De Luna Gallardo Year 2014 Advisor of the thesis Dr. Wadim Strielkowski, Ph.D. Number of pages 119 Awards Specialization Abstract in Czech Abstract in English Since European Union enables free mobility between its Members States, certain EU countries have become attractive destinations because of the working conditions and/or employment opportunities. As a result, some EU nations have experienced the inflow of large amount of immigrants and disturbances on their labor markets. With regard to this, the concept of Immigration Surplus that proposes that phenomenon of immigration can trigger a process of redistribution of wealth that could enhance the level of production and increase the national income can be applied for analyzing these processes. In addition, research literature suggests that deeper integration of immigrants into host countries can lead to higher levels of economic success. Thus, high levels of...

Die ontwikkeling en toepassing van 'n metode vir die produktiwiteitsmeting en evaluering van produktiwiteitsprestasie van 'n finansiële instelling se takkantore

18 March 2015 (has links)
D.Com. (Business Management) / The aim of this thesis is to develop and apply a method to measure and evaluate the productivity performance of the branch offices of a financial institution. The thesis has two focal points. The first focal point is the development of a method for productivity measurement and the evaluation of productivity performance based on existing productivity measurement methods. The second focal point is the application of the method and thereafter the interpretation of the productivity measurement results. The unique characteristics of branch offices that had to be taken into consideration and provided for in productivity measurement y!ere highlighted. The requirements for sound productivity measurement, such as the validity and consistency of productivity measurement methods, techniques and models were pointed out. A wide range 0: existing productivity measurement methods and models were researched. The existing methods and models for productivity measurement were found to be lacking in respect of their inability to reflect the effect of free products and services or the effect of resource substitution in the case of multiple resources. The productivity measurement method proposed in this thesis is based on productivity accounting, standard costing and baseline rate analysis.

Trade union responses to participatory management: a case study

Buhlungu, Maxwell Sakhela 30 January 2017 (has links)
This thesis is an investigation of trade union responses to participatory management in South Africa. In examining the above question, it seeks to establish whether Weber's notion of bureaucracy and Michels' "iron law of oligarchy" provide a useful theoretical framework for understanding these responses by unions. The thesis also explores the possibilities of worker participation in which unions (and their members) benefit without losing the ability to represent worker's collective interests.

The effect of lifestyle on employee absentee rates

Coppens, Jennifer Marie. January 1997 (has links)
A research report submitted to The Faculty of Management University of the Witwatersrand in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management / Research in America shows that the traditional lifestyles (poor diet, lack of exercise, chronic illness, poor stress management and substance abuse) play a large role in causing the major dreaded diseases like cancer, coronary heart disease and strokes, and impact negatively on absenteeism. Traditional lifestyles and absenteeism (absent without permission and sick leave) of 126 employees were measured in a manufacturing plant, and the results correlated by using the Spearman's Rank Order Correlation Co-efficient and co- efficient of determination. It was established that the traditional lifestyle behaviours do impact on absenteeism i.e. the more severe the lifestyle and the unhealthier lifestyle practised, the higher the individual absenteeism is likely to be. There was no correlation between age and absenteeism and job grade and absenteeism. Before applying the traditional absentee reducing interventions, an organisation should measure lifestyles of their employees and if unhealthy, lifestyle change interventions should be introduced before or concurrently with traditional absentee reducing interventions if days absent are mainly due to sick leave. / AC2017

Obstetric outcomes of grand multiparous women in Soweto

Bhoora, Shastra 17 April 2015 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Medicine in Obstetrics and Gynaecology MMed (O&G) Johannesburg, October 2014 / Background Grand multiparous women, defined as women who have had five or more deliveries, have historically been considered to be at risk for maternal and fetal complications. Over the years, these complications have been attributed to physiological changes as a result of high parity, maternal age, age-related medical conditions and socioeconomic status. Recent research has indicated a strong relationship between access to health care, especially in the antenatal phase, and outcomes. This work aimed to describe maternal, obstetric and fetal complications occurring in GM women, to determine their attendance at antenatal clinic, to review their modes of delivery and to identify any demographic characteristics related to GMP. Methods This was a prospective, descriptive study undertaken at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, a tertiary and regional hospital situated in Soweto that serves approximately two million people within its jurisdiction. In excess of 23 000 deliveries take place there each year. The labour ward attends mostly to high-risk women and approximately 20 % low-risk walk-ins. Another 10 000 births are conducted at midwife obstetric units in Soweto. This study surveyed a sample of pregnant women presenting at Chris Hani Baragwanath and the referring midwife obstetric units who had had five or more viable deliveries, including the current birth, and was conducted over four months in 2011. Results A total of 122 women were included with 124 deliveries as there were two twin pregnancies. Detailed data were available for 98 of these women. The study group were largely of advanced maternal age and were generally healthy. The attendance rate at antenatal care was high (91.35%). Antepartum and postpartum complications were infrequent and there were no intensive care unit admissions or maternal deaths. The CS rate was high (32.79 %), with more emergency CSs performed than elective CSs. The majority of the emergency CSs performed was as a result of fetal distress. There were four stillbirths (3.23%), and 25 (20.16%) of infants weighed <2500g at birth. Conclusion This study showed good maternal and fetal outcomes in a group of GM women who have access to and who largely attended antenatal care facilities. The results, albeit from a small sample, do not support traditional views that GM women are at risk of poor outcomes due to advanced maternal age, physiological changes as a result of high parity or low socioeconomic status. GM women who are generally healthy and are afforded access to adequate health care facilities should have good pregnancy outcomes.
