The relationship between personality types and psychological career resources of managers in the fast-food industry in the Western CapeKotze, Christiaan 03 July 2014 (has links)
The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between personality preference
types (as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator [MBTI]) Form M and psychological
career resources (as measured by the Psychological Career Resource Inventory [PCRI]) of
managers in the fast-food industry and whether groups from different races, ages and
gender differ significantly regarding personality types and psychological career resources. A
quantity survey was conducted on a sample (N = 81) of managers in the fast food industry in
the Western Cape.
The extraversion, sensing, feeling, judging (ESFJ) and the introversion, sensing, feeling,
judging (ISFJ) personality types were the dominant ones in the study. Personality type
preferences were significantly related to psychological career resources. The personality
types differed significantly regarding the following PCRI variables: variety/creativity (career
preference), growth/development (career value), self/other skills (career enabler) and social
connectivity (career harmoniser). Significant differences between personality types,
psychological career resources and age, gender and race were also established. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)

Between Interest and Interventionism : Probing the Limits of Foreign Policy along the Tracks of an Extraordinary Case Study : The GDR's Engagement in South YemenMuller, Miriam Manuela 13 March 2015 (has links)
This case study is the first comprehensive analysis of the German Democratic Republic’s activities in South Yemen, the only Marxist state in the Arab World and at times the closest and most loyal ally to the Soviet Union in the Middle East during the Cold War. The dissertation analyzes East German Foreign Policy as a case of Socialist state- and nation-building and in doing so produces one major hypotheses: The case of South Yemen may be considered both, an ‘exceptional case’ and the possible ‘ideal type’ of the ‘general’ of East German foreign policy and thus points to what the GDR’s foreign policy could have been, if it hadn’t been for the numerous restraints of East German foreign-policy-making. The author critically engages with the normative and empirical dimensions of the ‘Limits of Foreign Policy’ by including a constructivist perspective of foreign policy. Apart from the case study itself, the dissertation provides the reader with a thorough overview of forty years of East German foreign policy with a focus on the interests and influence of The Soviet Union as well as the first introduction and methodological approach to East Germany's foreign policy in the Middle East. The empirical side of the analysis rests on archival documents of the German Foreign Office, the German National Archive and the former Ministry of State Security of the GDR. These documents are reviewed and published for the first time and are complemented by personal interviews with contemporary witnesses. The interdisciplinary approach integrates and expands methods of both History and Political Science, applicable to other cases. Conducted research is intended to contribute to academic discourse on South Yemen’s unique history, divided Germany’s role in the Cold War, East German foreign policy, but also the long-term impact of Socialist foreign-policy-making in the Global South which so far has been neglected almost completely in academia. / Graduate / miriam.mueller@fu-berlin.de

Ondersoek na die volhoubaarheid van jeugwerk as professie in die Nederduitse Gereformeerde KerkSwartz, Liezl 30 November 2003 (has links)
An applied study was undertaken to describe the current position of youth work as profession in the Dutch Reformed Church and to identify factors influencing the sustainability. A review of relevant literature, as well as an empirical survey were conducted to investigate pertinent factors such as the working conditions, the person and the training of the youth worker.
In the empirical research respondents completing questionnaires consisted of former students of the Huguenot College currently employed as church youth workers, and those who left the ministry. Interviews were conducted with congregations currently employing or having employed youth workers. It is evident from this study that the youth work profession is not yet satisfactorily established and thus contributes to youth workers leaving the ministry.
In the interest of youth ministry, it is essential for the Dutch Reformed Church to acknowledge these factors influencing the sustainability of youth work as profession, in order to get this occupation properly established. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M.Diac.

The influence of psychosocial meta-capacities on learning capacity development in a foreign government agencyKhan, Rokshana 11 1900 (has links)
This qualitative study investigated the influences of psychosocial meta-capacities on learning capacity development in a foreign government agency that is undergoing extensive organisational change. The data was obtained through semi-structured interviews with seven participants, who are employees of a foreign visa-processing unit based in South Africa. The participants shared their experiences during the organisational change process, and how different aspects impacted on their learning capacity development. The study highlighted self-efficacy and emotional intelligence as key meta-capacities that can be enhanced to aid learning capacity development. Furthermore, the study recommended that organisations intending to introduce significant changes should be aware of the psychosocial meta-capacities that can be exploited to enhance employee learning capacity development, thereby ultimately ensuring organisational success. This study seems to suggest that the positive influences on learning capacity development are: self-efficacy in the form of self- beliefs about one’s performance ability; the ability to take initiative; and learning orientation - for example, a sense of exploration; emotional intelligence in the form of self-awareness in relation to what needs to happen, and the positive impact of social support systems, for example, supervisors, role models and fellow colleagues. Negative influences on learning capacity development seem to include the following: the inability to manage performance anxiety; high levels of self-doubt, the lack of technical expertise, and learning paralysis in the form of procrastination and the lack of self-motivation. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.

Previous issue date: 2008-06-20 / The rates required by the Brazilian Federal Government when exploring the use of its real
estates are ruled by federal legislation with which were established the emphyteusis payments,
the rates of occupation, legitimacy and use, the public rental and charges requested for rental
under special conditions, the public transfer of use and the permission to use. Because the
normative structure of these public prices are very close to those taken by taxes and also
considering that some of the real estate charges in question have themselves elements of the
tax species it is necessary to investigate on how these tax rules differ from real estate
collection. It is hereby demonstrated that it is not acceptable that the Brazilian Federal
Government takes elements drawn from its acts of sovereignty, like its taxing power, to
explore the public real estate of their available assets. In fact, in that economic field the State
operates without any public interest, producing, with the individuals, agreements that are
essentially ruled by Private Law. The absence of material and formal limits for the institution
of public real estate prices also does not justify the establishment by the State of any legal
standards to explore its real estates. To conclude we should always meet the cause and the
function of these collections, and when these premises are not observed the various legislative
abuses practiced in this area would be challenged / As prestações exigidas pela União na exploração do uso de seus bens imóveis são regradas
pela legislação federal, com a qual se instituiu os laudêmios e o foro públicos, as taxas de
ocupação, de legitimação e de utilização, o aluguel e as cobranças levadas a efeito com
fundamento no arrendamento mediante condições especiais, na cessão de uso e na permissão
de uso. Em razão da estrutura normativa desses preços públicos vir a ser muito próxima da
assumida pelos tributos e considerando, ainda, que algumas das cobranças imobiliárias em
questão apresentam elementos próprios das espécies tributárias é necessário investigar no quê
se distinguem as normas tributárias das normas com as quais ingressam nos cofres públicos
tais prestações patrimoniais. Verifica-se não ser admissível que a União aproveite elementos
tirados de seus atos de soberania para explorar os bens de seu patrimônio disponível, pois,
nessa seara econômica, o Estado atua despido de qualquer interesse público, produzindo, com
os particulares, acordos de vontade que são regrados, essencialmente, pelo Direito Privado. A
ausência na legislação de limites materiais e formais para a instituição dos preços públicos
imobiliários também não justifica a postura pela União de quaisquer normas jurídicas para a
exploração de seus bens imóveis. Há de se atender à causa e à função dessas cobranças, sendo
que, por desconsideram essas premissas firmadas, são impugnáveis os diversos abusos
legislativos praticados nesse domínio

L'évolution du régime de la domanialité publique portuaire face au développement de l'économie de marché / Evolution of harbour state ownership system facing market economy growthDramé, Alpha yaya 16 October 2017 (has links)
L’intérêt public imprime aux ports une organisation juridique et institutionnelle spéciale. Les installations portuaires doivent fonctionner sans désemparer et aucun usager ne doit en être privé au-delà des restrictions nécessaires à la satisfaction de tous. À ce titre, elles sont traditionnellement soumises au régime de la domanialité publique et les activités qui s’y déroulent à celui du service public. Les deux régimes étant, par leur essence même, exorbitants, leur application simultanée génère une surprotection préjudiciable à la compétitivité des ports.L’objet de cette étude est de démontrer l’inadaptation de la domanialité publique portuaire, tant du point de vue de sa cohérence générale, que de du point de vue de son impact sur le développement des sites portuaires. L’adoption du CGPPP et les réformes postérieures n’ont pas permis de résoudre le problème de l’hypertrophie du domaine public portuaire, pas plus qu’elles n’ont consacré un régime domanial véritablement adapté.L’émergence du régime des conventions de terminal constitue une évolution majeure, mais insuffisante. S’il favorise un certain partage des risques entre autorités portuaires et opérateurs privés, il n’a, malheureusement, pas résolu le problème de la précarité des occupations domaniales. L’insécurité juridique demeure ; ce qui n’encourage pas l’investissement privé.Face aux contraintes du droit de la concurrence et à la généralisation de la libre circulation des biens et des personnes au sein de l’UE, les modalités de gestion des installations portuaires doivent s’adapter aux enjeux modernes de l’économie de marché. / Public interest gives harbours a specific legal and institutional framework. Harbour facilities must work continuously and stay available to every user, according to the limitations required to satisfy everybody. As such, they are traditionally subject to the state ownership system and their related activities are subject to the public service one. Both systems are exorbitant by nature. Applying them simultaneously triggers off an overprotection detrimental to harbours competitivity.This study aims at showing the harbour state ownership system is unsuitable, both in terms of overall consistency and its impact on the harbour site growth. Adoption of the general code ruling the public ownership and posterior reforms did not allow to resolve the harbour state ownership hypertrophy issue, nor did they establish an ownership system truly appropriate.Appearing harbour terminals contracts constitute a major but still insufficient evolution. If they do allow to share risks between harbour authorities and private operators to some extent, unfortunately they did not resolve the ownership activities precarity issue. Legal insecurity remains, which does not stimulate private investment.Against competition law obligations and the free movement of goods and people spreading within the EU, harbour facilities management terms need to adapt to today’s market economy challenges.

The constitutional rebuilding of the South African private law : a choice between judicial and legislative law-makingDafel, Michael January 2018 (has links)
A tension arises whenever the South African private law fails to meet constitutional right norms. To remedy a deficiency, two law-making options are available. The first is for the judiciary to develop or change private law principles and rules in order to provide protection for the implicated constitutional norm. The second is for the judiciary to enforce an obligation upon Parliament to enact legislation to amend or replace existing private law rights and obligations so as to safeguard the norm against interference from a private individual or entity. The former is the more conventional option, but, in recent years, the law reports record an increasing reliance on the legislative duty to protect constitutional right norms in private legal relationships. The thesis investigates the extent to which the latter phenomenon - which will be described as a 'pivot towards legislative remedies' - exists, and the circumstances in which the courts pivot towards legislative remedies rather than developing private law of their own accord. The thesis finds that legislative schemes that give effect to constitutional rights are likely to contain an array of benefits that are absent from or reduced in the judicial law-making process. The judicial pivot towards legislative remedies is thus a strategy to enhance the process through which conflicting rights are resolved, as it allows for the constitutional rebuilding of private law in a way that the judiciary is unable to do on its own. Importantly, however, theories of judicial deference do not explain the pivot. On the contrary, the courts have exercised a strict level of control over the legislative law-making pathway. Through either statutory interpretation or the review of legislation, the courts require legislation to contain the essentials of the judicial law-making framework. From this perspective, the judicial law-making process produces the floor of the rebuilding project and the legislative law-making process enhances that framework.

Gespräche in einer Krise : Analyse von Telefonaten mit einem RAF-Mitglied während der Okkupation der westdeutschen Botschaft in Stockholm 1975 / Conversations in a crisis : Analysis of telephone communication with a member of the red army faction during the 1975 occupation of the West German embassy in Stockholmvon der Heiden, Gregor January 2009 (has links)
When crises develop, people are confronted with difficulties beyond those experienced in normal everyday activities. Due to the perceived threats inherent to such situations, familiar behaviors may prove ineffective, and such attempts can pose dangerous and unpredictable risks. Crises are extreme situations, occurring at the very edges of human experience. Oral communication in such situations cannot be casual; the seriousness of the situation demands exceptional communicative performance on the part of the participants. Therefore, certainties about everyday communication conventions are called into question. The following work examines conversations during which the participants were involved in an extreme situation. In this particular crisis, a politically motivated kidnapping, the personal involvement of the interlocutors is substantial. A clear and present fear of the situation escalating and the possibility of a failure to anticipate the resulting reactions from the other party(ies) characterize the communicative acts of those involved. Recorded telephone calls during the occupation of the West German Embassy in Stockholm by members of the Red Army Faction (RAF) on April 24, 1975 comprise the basis for this analysis. One of the occupiers speaks with various interlocutors located in an adjacent embassy building. These interlocutors are relatives of the hostages, the Swedish Minister of Justice, and a German official charged with leading the negotiations. In this study, the communicative processes of the crisis are reconstructed. In order to show how the interlocutors attempt to reach their goals in this tense situation with the resources available to them, as well as what they in fact achieve, ethnographic methods of analysis have been employed. This study shows how, despite strong conflicting interests and motives, a shared reality is built through the actions of the interlocutors. The interaction between two key figures in the early stages of the crisis can even be characterized as a form of coalition building. An explanation as to why this collaboration is not retained in the subsequent course of the events, however, leading to an escalation of the situation, is also presented. Furthermore, the following work sets forth qualities needed to interactively build a coalition in a precarious crisis situation, which has arisen between parties characterized by diametrically opposed aims.

Essai de géographie systématique : les paysages du Nord-Ouest de la Côte d'IvoireFilleron, Jean-Charles 23 June 1995 (has links) (PDF)
Cette thèse privilégie dans l'analyse de l'espace géographique la pluie et la rivière, le relief et la roche, la végétation, la surface du sol et le sol... mais l'on ne s'étonnera pas d'y rencontrer des champs et des jachères, des villages et des vergers. Elle a l'ambition de participer au développement d'une géographie centrée sur l'organisation d'un espace matériel produit conjointement par la nature et l'homme. C'est dans l'étude des changements de dimensions, dans « l'analyse scalaire », que se trouve l'essentiel de son explication scientifique et c'est à cette recherche que l'auteur s'est attaché... <br />La méthode d'analyse des milieux et des paysages est celle de l'« École d'Abidjan » dont Jean-Charles Filleron a été l'un des fondateurs. Trente mois ont été consacrés à la description de 826 relevés de la végétation, de la surface du sol et du sol sur le terrain et plus de 2500 photos aériennes ont été analysées du double point de vue de la forme et du milieu. Les traitements statistiques multivariés, ACP, AFC et classifications ont permis la réalisation d'une systématique des milieux et paysages aux différentes échelles scalaires.<br />Le champ d'application est le Nord-Ouest de la Côte d'Ivoire, vaste territoire de 49000 km2 dont l'essentiel est dévolu aux savanes plus ou moins boisées couvrant plateaux cuirassés et inselbergs. Sur ce territoire faiblement peuplé, l'auteur met en évidence le rôle des sociétés rurales... et de la nature du substrat rocheux... dans la diversité des milieux et des paysages et renouvelle le discours écologique sur les milieux tropicaux.
