The target of this graduation thesis was to specify new views and requirements which effect on managers´ personalities´ formation and development in present HR management. For necessary information acquisition 6O managers completed a questionnaire which was about manager`s personality development. Managers and employees in monitored companies generally know (or subconsciously anticipate) how the superior HR management in nowaday trends should be proceeded and how it should look like. key-managers know about the need of superior personal work and the question is when this range becomes the same preference as economics or production

This diploma thesis deals with the function of regional destination management organizations in Czechia. Destination management organizations are founded to implement destination management at various spatial levels (national, regional, local). In Czechia, the issue of destination management is a relatively new area of research. The aim of this work is to clarify the role of destination companies as one of the regional development actors with an emphasis on the development of tourism. The theoretical base is network theory and the concept of destination governance along with other base of the cooperation of actors in tourism development. For purpose to get a general insight into the situation of destination management in Czechia, the analysis of the regional destination companies is a part of the work. In addition, thesis includes the case study of the tourist area of Orlicke hory and Podorlicko, in which the destination company of the same name operates. The case study includes analysis of strategic documents and annual reports of selected actors, semi- structured interviews with representatives of selected organizations from the region and a questionnaire survey among the members of the destination management organization. All of mentioned methods helped to evaluate the functioning and the...

Noteworthy are the objectives of the study: to analyze the forms of insertion of production management systems, transmission, distribution and energy consumption; identify and demonstrate the measurement of economic loss, social and cultural Maranhão in the period 1980-2015; allow the formation of human resources in energy management in a constructivist perspective correlated to continued progress in socio-spatial and regional groundswell of public and private management providing the State. We used a critical methodology based on both qualitative and desk research, in consultation with the technical information, plans, programs, projects, maps, studies and documents produced by public and private agencies that do respect the regional development of Maranhão territory linked to the energy sector, be they state or not origin. Among the findings and conclusions there is the indication that institutionally for the government of the state of Maranhão, a race at a rapid pace was initiated in order to update data and generate new information to develop management policies of the energy produced in their territory, assigning an emphasis on data collection of all electricity generation in its territory, the matrix in which they operate their productivity. / Nesta dissertação, procura-se fazer entender o gerenciamento individual de cada parte interessada na manutenção do sistema elétrico nacional no Estado do Maranhão, quais sejam: as geradoras de energia; a empresa de transmissão; a concessionária distribuidora de energia em média e baixa tensão local e, finalmente os consumidores finais do produto. Destacam-se os objetivos do trabalho: analisar as formas de inserção de sistemas de gestão de produção, transmissão, distribuição e consumo de energia; identificar e demonstrar a mensuração da perda econômica, social e cultural do Maranhão no período de 1980 a 2015; possibilitar a formação de recursos humanos em gestão de energia numa perspectiva construtivista correlacionado ao progresso contínuo no engrandecimento socioespacial e regional das gestões públicas e privadas proporcionados ao Estado. Utilizou-se uma metodologia crítica com base em pesquisa qualitativa e documental, com consulta às informações técnicas, planos, programas, projetos, mapas, estudos e documentos elaborados pelos órgãos públicos e privados que fizessem respeito ao desenvolvimento regional do território maranhense ligados ao setor energético, fossem eles de origem estatal ou não. Dentre os resultados e conclusões há a indicação de que institucionalmente para o governo do Estado do Maranhão, foi iniciada uma corrida a passos largos, no sentido de atualizar os dados e gerar novas informações para desenvolver políticas de gerenciamento da energia produzida em seu território, atribuindo uma ênfase ao levantamento de dados de toda a geração de eletricidade em seu território, a matriz em que operam suas produtividades.

Masters in Public Administration - MPA / This research report, explores the challenges contributing to a non-effective implementation of performance and development management system at the Department of Social Development in Eastern Cape. My argument is that although the system has been fully implemented throughout the province and in all the layers of the department, there are still challenges that contribute to its ineffective implementation of this system. This research report debates a range of issues such as: challenges that revolve around the lack of proper knowledge and training in staff, non-alignment of performance contracts with operations of the department, attitudes of officials towards the system itself and the desired institutions operation that may contribute to its performance and achieve its objective of effective service delivery meaningfully. The research report also explores the paradigm shift of the department from a traditional welfarish approach to a one that focuses on social development. This research especially seeks to understand how the department seeks to plan for institutional change that will promote delivery its services to communities more. The reason for this focus derives from department is practice to provide services sectoralyand not in an integrated manner. Hence the critique, in this research is of the roles and responsibilities of all different layers of the department. This, I specifically argue for re-orientation of the department, not merely institutionally, but also strategically by adopting a social development approach to service delivery. / South Africa

The study presented in this thesis discusses the topic of ASRs through the use of a specific case study constructed at Boscombe, UK. With the main aim to provide an impartial and independent study into the environmental, social and economic impacts of an ASR. The research presented is therefore multidisciplinary in nature, the separate components utilise key techniques from the geophysical, numerical modelling and socio-economic disciplines are combined to present a significant contribution to the knowledge and understanding of ASRs. Whilst previous studies have focused on one of these disciplines, there are no independent detailed studies of a constructed ASR utilising an multidisciplinary approach. The ASR concept and structures are still in their development infancy, the subject has received cursory independent review in the literature. There have been few successful projects, those that have survived structurally in the ocean are not being used primarily for surfing. The Boscombe ASR is an example of high overspend, poor management and construction, loss of geotextile SFC and users deem the project a failure. The consequences of not correctly planning, managing and overseeing the construction has resulted in a poorly viewed project of limited success. All stages of this project could have benefited from thoughtful planning, thereby avoiding this outcome. If lessons are to be learnt from this project then the planning and management are key areas of the process that need addressing. Ensuring that any future ASR projects are securely integrated with the coastal zone management plan will provide sustainability and success. The DPSIR framework approach can be used to highlight and address the causes of problems in the project. This framework enables the various disciplines to be discussed in relation to each other; links can be identified between the environmental, social and economic impacts of the ASR construction. Strict protocols will increase the success of any ASR project. The final crest height of the Boscombe ASR was 0.5 m higher than the final design height, this is a fundamental design flaw that should not be occurring in modern coastal engineering practice. It is suggested that guidelines are written based on this research for the design and construction process of an ASR. The recommendations and guidelines for ASR monitoring are provided by this research. The emphasis for future projects should lie in the final design and in monitoring, baseline field data should be collected to understand the environmental state change and socio-economic impacts. Planning and government proposals should be accompanied by extensive stakeholder engagement ensuring transparency for the project and ownership within the coastal community. The exclusion of stakeholders at key decision points created distrust and misunderstanding towards the Boscombe ASR project. Avoiding unrealistic expectations within the surfing community and wider coastal community was discussed throughout this research, and by others in the literature. This research agrees with these statements, the issue of poor surfability would be improved by a greater area to manipulate the bathymetry. However this would come at a greatly increased cost in geotextile SFCs, which the current construction method is certainly not capable of delivering successfully. It would be recommended in this case that an alternative construction material was used that is resilient to the marine environment and readily adaptable given poor performance. Further testing of materials, both geotextile SFCs and alternatives, are required for the successful advancement of ASR technology.

Doctor Educationis / This study examined the prevalence and the nature of truancy among early adolescent learners attending secondary schools in the Education Management and Development Centre (EMDC) in the eastern metropole of the Western Cape. The main purpose of the study was to answer the following question: How can secondary school educators, in loco parentis, be equipped with the required skills and resources in order to deal with the issue of truant behaviour among early adolescent learners? A comprehensive literature review was conducted to explore the character and extent of truancy. Thereafter, various theories of child development were highlighted, followed by a synopsis comprising different dimensions of the development of the early adolescent learner. The empirical investigation was carried out through quantitative as well as qualitative research methodology. A focus group interview was conducted with six learners, offering them an opportunity to express their perceptions and experiences as truants. Interviews were conducted with principals to obtain their impressions regarding truant behaviour. Thereafter, a questionnaire, which investigated truancy related aspects such as interaction with peers, parents and caregivers' involvement in learners' school activities, educators' influence on learners' school work and learners' self-esteem regarding their schooling, was administered to three hundred learners. The quantitative investigation revealed significant aspects about truant behaviour, indicating that predominantly more male than female learners (173 male and 26 as in the case of the present study) display this type of behaviour, truants generally originate from single parent families, and that they experience their educators and learning environments as extremely negative. Finally, two in-depth case studies were conducted on two learners, one identified as a truant and the other as a non-truant respectively. The purpose of the in-depth studies was to explore possible differences in their experiential worlds. Although the qualitative data is not generalisable, the findings of the case studies have revealed significant differences in the life worlds of the two learners. Comparatively speaking, it appears that non-truant learners are significantly better adjusted on all their functioning levels than truant learners. The results of the empirical investigation were compared with relevant findings which emerged from the literature study. Based on the present investigation, the study was concluded by offering a range of recommendations to secondary school educators, in loco parentis, empowering them in addressing the phenomenon of truancy among early adolescent learners in the Western Cape with its distinctive problems.
