Dépasser la norme sexuée des politiques d'équilibre vie professionnelle - vie personnelle en entreprise pour construire l'égalité professionnelle femmes-hommes : analyse de deux contextes contrastés : la France et l'Espagne / Going beyond the gendered norm of the worklife balance policies to build real gender equality in the workplace : analysis of two contrasted contexts : France and Spain

Tanquerel, Sabrina 12 November 2014 (has links)
Ce travail de recherche doctorale a pour objectif de mieux comprendre le lien entre politiques d’équilibre vie professionnelle- vie personnelle et égalité femmes-hommes en entreprise. Il s’attache à comprendre comment ces dispositifs influencent la norme sexuée.En mobilisant le cadre théorique des représentations sociales, notre investigation s’appuie sur deux études de cas approfondies, avec 44 entretiens semi-directifs « outil majeur de repérage des représentations » (Abric, 2011), comme méthode principale de collecte de données. Nous avons choisi de mener ces études dans deux pays différents : la France et l’Espagne, en raison de leur approche contrastée de la question de la conciliation : plutôt traditionnelle pour la France, plutôt intrusive et individualisée pour l’Espagne.Les résultats mettent en lumière l’hétérogénéité et le caractère sexué des représentations des salariés vis-à-vis des politiques d’équilibre, celles-ci apparaissent aussi fortement liées à la figure du manager et à son style de management. La catégorisation des représentations (progressistes/ traditionnalistes/ neutres et hostiles) contribue à comprendre leur influence sur l’égalité, et fait apparaître que la prise de conscience des inégalités –plus forte chez les salariés espagnols- est une condition préalable vers une conciliation égalitaire. / This PhD research aims at better understanding the link between work life balance policies and gender equality in the workplace. The objective is to understand how these measures can influence sexual roles division at work.By referring to the theoretical framework of social perceptions, our work is based on two main case studies, with 44 semi-oriented interviews “major tool to identify perceptions”, as the main method to collect data. We chose to conduct the two case studies in two different countries: France and Spain, because of their contrasted approach towards work life balance topic: rather traditional for France, more intrusive and individualized for Spain.The results highlight the heterogeneity and the gendered character of the employees’ perceptions of work life balance policies; those ones also appear to be strongly connected to the manager behavior and its management style. The categorization of perceptions (progressist/ traditionalist/ neutral/ hostile) contributes to a better understanding of their influence on gender equality, and reveals that inequalities awareness –stronger amongst Spanish employees- is a prior condition for a more equal work life balance.

How does becoming and being a professional counsellor affect one’s personal life : a qualitative exploration

Alhanati, Barbara Sampaio 16 July 2009 (has links)
This study investigates the effects that becoming and being a professional counsellor, including training and professional practice, can have on one’s personal life. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to a base of research literature that is starting to form on the personal lives of counsellors. Qualitative methodology and thematic analysis were chosen for this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six professional counsellors, asking them how their training and professional practice has affected their personal lives. Findings revealed participants experienced mostly positive effects, which impacted their personal lives in a variety of ways and in a range of areas. It is suggested that the research be used as part of counsellor training and support programs, as well as to inspire future research on how the profession of counselling psychology comes to affect the professionals engaged with this work.

Late-Life Development of Personal Life Investment: The Musts and Cans of Aging

Schindler, Ines 09 June 2005 (has links)
Striving for personal goals is one important aspect of composing one is life within a developmental context. In this realm, personal life investment (PLI) measures the amount of energy (action and thought) that people report investing in central life domains (e.g., health, family, leisure, independence). This study aimed at understanding the functional relations of PLI, its development between 70 and over 100 years, and its role for successful aging. Obligatory and optional PLI were distinguished to differentiate between life domains where older individuals need to invest energy to maintain a basis for their development and domains that allow for many more degrees of freedom as to where and when to invest. Cross-sectional and longitudinal data from the Berlin Aging Study (BASE) showed that optional PLI, in contrast to obligatory PLI, had only positive motivational and affective correlates, declined between age 80 and 90, and contributed to successful aging as long as older people had enough resources to invest in optional domains. / Das Streben nach persönlichen Zielen ist für die eigene Lebensgestaltung innerhalb eines veränderlichen Entwicklungskontextes zentral. Dabei erfasst das Konstrukt des persönlichen Lebensinvestments (PLI) einen Aspekt der Lebensgestaltung: das Ausmaß an Energie, das in Form von Handlungen und Gedanken in zentralen Lebensbereichen, wie z.B. Gesundheit, Familie, Freizeit oder Unabhängigkeit, investiert wird. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war die Untersuchung der funktionalen Zusammenhänge des PLI, der Entwicklung von PLI zwischen 70 und über 100 Jahren und der Rolle des Investments beim erfolgreichen Altern. Hierbei wurde zwischen obligatorischem und optionalem PLI unterschieden, also PLI in Lebensbereichen, die im Alter Investment erfordern, um die Grundlagen für die eigene Entwicklung zu erhalten, und PLI in Lebensbereichen, die weitaus mehr Freiheitsgrade hinsichtlich des Ausmaßes und Zeitpunktes des Investments bieten. Analysen von Quer- und Längsschnittdaten der Berliner Altersstudie (BASE) zeigten, dass optionales PLI, im Gegensatz zu obligatorischem PLI, nur positive motivational-affektive Korrelate aufweist, zwischen 80 und 90 Jahren leicht reduziert wird und zum erfolgreichen Altern beitragen kann, sofern die betreffende ältere Person über ausreichende Ressourcen verfügt, um sie in optionalen Bereichen zu investieren.

Work-life balance och motivation : En kvantitativ studie som undersöker sambandet mellan work-life balance och medarbetarnas upplevda motivation / Work-life balance and motivation

Martins, Amanda, Schaffer, Frida January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund. Individer i dagens samhälle behöver finna en balans mellan sina olika roller inom arbetslivet och privatlivet. Denna balans konkurrerar om individens tid och resurser, vilket kan vara krävande för en individ att lyckas balansera mellan. Forskningen visar att en individs balans mellan sina olika roller tenderar att samverka med individens motivation på arbetsplatsen. Syftet med studien är därmed att undersöka sambandet mellan work-life balance och medarbetarnas upplevda motivation i arbetet. Material och metod. Studien består av en kvantitativ metod, där ett bekvämlighetsurval har använts. En enkät användes för datainsamlingen, där 296 respondenter deltog. De instrument som har använts för att undersöka sambandet är WEIMS-instrumentet och WLB-scale. För att kontrollera att sambandet mellan våra huvudvariabler kvarstod mot kontrollvariablerna, har en multipel regressionsanalys använts. I denna analys genomfördes bootstrapping med 5000 iterationer. Resultat. Studien fann ett positivt samband mellan work-life balance och motivation (r = .14, p < .001), när sambandet kontrollerades för våra signifikanta kontrollvariabler: stress, hälsotillstånd och sömn. Slutsats. Work-life balance och medarbetarnas upplevda motivation är två faktorer som samspelar med varandra. Vidare har work-life balance och motivation också visat sig samverka med individens vilja till att lämna arbetsplatsen. / Background. Individuals in today's society need to find a balance between their various roles in the workplace and personal life. This balance competes for an individual's time and resources, which can be demanding for them to successfully juggle. Research shows that an individual's balance between their various roles tends to interact with their motivation at work. The purpose of this study is thus to examine the relationship between work-life balance and employees' perceived motivation in the workplace. Materials and Methods. The study employs a quantitative method, using convenience sampling. A questionnaire was used for data collection, with 296 respondents participating. The instruments used to investigate the relationship are the WEIMS instrument and the WLB-scale. To control for the persistence of the relationship between our main variables against the control variables, a multiple regression analysis was employed. In this analysis, bootstrapping was performed with 5000 iterations. Results. The study found a positive correlation between work-life balance and motivation (r = .14, p < .001) when the relationship was controlled for our significant control variables: stress, health condition, and sleep. Conclusion. Work-life balance and employees' perceived motivation are two factors that interact with each other. Furthermore, work-life balance and motivation have also been found to interact with an individual's intention to leave the workplace

La protection de la vie personnelle du salarié en droit comparé et européen : étude comparative des droits français, hellénique, britannique et européen / The protection of the employee's personal life in comparative and European law

Perraki, Panagiota 20 September 2013 (has links)
La problématique de la protection de la vie personnelle est très ancienne et a fait l’objet d'études dans diverses disciplines scientifiques. Un principe d’indifférence à la vie personnelle a été reconnu dans l’ensemble des systèmes étudiés à partir desannées 1980. Malgré l’existence d’un cadre juridique protecteur à première vue, avec la reconnaissance d’un droit à la protection de la vie personnelle - qui limite et rationalise indubitablement les pouvoirs de direction de l’employeur - la protection connaît des tempéraments et des restrictions, afin d'atteindre un équilibre avec les intérêts légitimes et les droits de l’employeur. La vie personnelle se trouve donc limitée par les pouvoirs patronaux, aspect très largement sous-estimé. Tant le législateur que la pratique et la jurisprudence cherchent à définir les conditions de cet équilibre, que cette étude s’attache à décrire, en soulignant les obstacles techniques et en proposant des solutions pour les résoudre. Son objectif est de démontrer qu’il y a une tendance claire et nette à reconnaître à l’employeur un droit de plus en plus poussé à la restriction de la vie personnelle du salarié et que ceci risque de mettre en péril l’ensemble de la construction. / The notion of the protection of personal life has already been the subject of various scientific disciplines. A principle of immunity of the employee’s personal life has been recognized in all the systems compared in this study, since the early 80’s. Despite the establishment of a protective legal framework, acknowledging a right to the protection of privacy, which undoubtedly limits and rationalises the employer’s powers, the actual protection is often limited, so as the employer’s legitimate interests and rights to be balanced with such protection of privacy. Personal life is, thus, limited by the employer’s powers. Both the legislation and the legal theory and practice seek to define the conditions of this balance. This study attempts to describe and highlight the various aspects of this balancing, as well as its technical barriers. It seeks to demonstrate that there is a clear and strong tendency torecognize an advanced right of the employer to restrict the employee’s personal life and that this puts the whole framework of protection into question.

Organising Intimacy : Exploring Heterosexual Singledoms at Swedish Singles Activities / Att organisera intimitet : Heterosexuella singelskap och svenska singelaktiviteter

Henriksson, Andreas January 2014 (has links)
Single activities have long been places where single people can come to meet friends, build community or look for partners. The activities have relevance for studies of heterosexuality, intimacy, personal life and space. This dissertation discusses a conference, a cruise, an online site and an association for heterosexual singles in contemporary Sweden. It shows how these activities, analysed as organising people and spaces, offer participants different versions of intimacy, relationships, personal life and ultimately singledom itself.  The concept non-relationality is coined to describe how people understand and enact what it means to lack a certain kind of relationship. Multi-sited ethnographic observations are combined with interviews and a survey (n=416). The chosen methods allow insight into both the heterogeneous character of the contemporary single activity scene, as well as existing tendencies to form communities. The group whose single activities are examined is deemed fairly typical of the single population at large. Nevertheless, most conclusions centre on the specific set of activities described in the book and relate them to historical examples and theory. The single activities examined can be interpreted to enact different practices entailed in a relationship without necessarily demanding commitment to a whole relationship or a specific person. In that way, the activities accommodate the inflexible personal lives that some singles report having. This challenges strict boundaries between coupledom and singledom. Such transgressive or “hetero-doxical” potential in single activities is nevertheless circumscribed by organisers’ notion that the activities provide therapeutic community in a phase before singles take the step (back) into coupledom.

The effects of match or mismatch between employees' career anchors and job settings on their career outcomes

Zulqarnain, Muhammad 13 July 2011 (has links)
Un design de recherche des études quantitatives et transversales a été utilisé pour collecter les données à partir d’un échantillon déterminé de 957 employés et managers travaillant dans les organisations publiques (gouvernement), privées et semi-gouvernementales situées dans la province de Punjab au Pakistan. Les échelles de Likert allant de 1 jusqu'à 7 ont été utilisées pour mesurer les différentes variables de l’étude. Les données ont été collectées par l’administration de questionnaires par le chercheur lui-même ou à travers les contacts dans les organisations sélectionnées avec un taux de réponse de 81%. Les deux analyses séparées AFE et AFC (utilisées pour mesurer les variables du modèle) ont été appliquées sur des échantillons différents. Les résultats démontrent que les variables indépendantes modératrices ou dépendantes disposent de propriétés psychométriques très satisfaisantes. Nous avons testé nos hypothèses de recherche à l’aide de MANOVA et de l’analyse discriminante. Les analyses ont révélé que les variables indépendantes suivantes: la congruence de l’ancre de carrière, la congruence du profil professionnel dominant, la nature du travail (permanent /contractuel), le soutien organisationnel perçue, les opportunités de carrières perçues dans l’organisation, la multiplicité des ancres de carrière dominantes et la complémentarité des ancres de carrière dominantes multiples ont un effet direct sur les variables dépendantes: l’intention de quitter, succès de carrière, l’engagement organisationnel, la performance et la satisfaction au travail. Egalement, les effets directs des contraintes dans la vie privée (CVP) sur l’intention de quitter et l’engagement organisationnel, et ceux des opportunités alternatives de l’emploi sur l’intention de quitter se sont avérés significatifs. Cependant la variable Type de l’ancre de carrière (par exemple, basée sur le talent, sur les besoins et sur les valeurs) n’a pas eu d’effet significatif sur aucunes des variables dépendantes.Les effets de l’interaction entre la congruence des ancres de carrière et la congruence du profil professionnel dominant ont été significatifs démontrant que la congruence du profil professionnel dominant modère les effets de la congruence de l’ancre de carrière sur les variables dépendantes comme le succès de carrière subjectif, l’engagement organisationnel, la performance perçue et la satisfaction au travail mais n’a pas eu d’effet sur l’intention de quitter. De la même façon, les effets de l’interaction entre les opportunités de carrières perçues dans l’organisation et la congruence de l’ancre de carrière se sont avérés aussi significatifs. Les résultats démontrent que le profil professionnel dominant (PPD) modère les effets de la congruence de l’ancre de carrière sur l’intention de quitter et la performance au travail mais pas sur le succès de carrière, l’engagement organisationnel et la satisfaction au travail.A cet effet, les preuves ont été fournies en faveur de l’objectif clé de cette recherche qui visait à démontrer les effets significatifs directs de la congruence de l’ancre de carrière et de la congruence du profil professionnel dominant sur l’intention de quitter, le succès de carrière, l’engagement organisationnel, la performance et la satisfaction au travail. L’analyse confirme aussi le rôle modérateur de la congruence du profil professionnel dominant sur la relation entre la congruence de l’ancre de carrière et toutes les variables dépendantes sauf l’intention de quitter. Cette thèse prend en considération toutes les contributions académiques et les implications managériales des recherches présentées ainsi que leurs limites. Un certain nombre des suggestions pour les futures recherches a été proposé à la fin de cette étude. / A quantitative and cross-sectional survey research design was used to collect data from a purposive sample of 957 employees and managers working in the public (governmental), private and semi-governmental organizations located in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The research instruments used to measure different variables involved in the study were all seven point Likert type rating scales with response categories ranging from 1 to 7. The data were collected by administering survey questionnaires either by the researcher himself or through the contacts in the organizations selected at a response rate of 81%. The separate EFAs and CFAs of the scales (used to measure the variables included in the research model) were performed on different samples. The results demonstrated that our scales of independent, moderating and outcome variables possessed very good psychometric properties.We tested our research hypotheses through MANOVA and discriminant analysis. The analyses revealed that the independent variables of career anchor congruence, dominant occupational profile congruence, nature of job (permanent/contractual), perceived organizational and supervisor support, perceived career opportunities in the organization, multiplicity of dominant career anchors and complementarity of multiple dominant career anchors, all had significant direct effects on the dependent variables of turnover intentions, career success,organizational commitment, work performance and job satisfaction. The direct effects of personal life constraints (PCOs) on turnover intentions and organizational commitment; and that of alternative job opportunities on turnover intentions were also found to be significant. It was, however, found that the variable Type of Career Anchor (i.e. talent-based, need-based or value-based) had no significant effect on any of the outcome variables.The interaction effects of career anchor congruence and dominant occupational profile congruence was significant showing that DOP-congruence moderated the effects of career anchor congruence on the outcome variables of subjective career success, organizational commitment, perceived work performance and job satisfaction but not on the turnover intentions. Similarly the interaction effects of ‘perceived career opportunities in the organization’ and ‘career anchor congruence’ was also significant. It demonstrated that ‘PCOs’ moderated the effects of ‘career anchor congruence’ on turnover intentions and work performance but not on the career success, organizational commitment and job satisfaction.The significance of interaction between personal life constraints (PLCs) and ‘career anchor congruence’ proved that PLCs moderated the effects of career anchor congruence on the turnover intentions, organizational commitment, perceived work performance and job satisfaction but not on the subjective career success of employees. Conversely the insignificant interaction effects of both Alternative Job Opportunities (AJOs) and perceived organizational and supervisor support (POSS) with ‘career anchor congruence’ showed that both AJOs and POSS did not moderate the effects of career anchor congruence on employees’ outcome variables.So, evidence was found in favor of the key objective of the research that both career anchor congruence and dominant occupational profile congruence have significant direct effects on employees’ turnover intentions, career success, organizational commitment, work performance and job satisfaction. The analysis also demonstrated support for the role of dominant occupational profile congruence as a moderating variable in the relationship between career anchor congruence and outcome variables except turnover intentions of the employees. This thesis makes full consideration of the academic contributions and managerial implications of the research presented whilst also considering its limitations.
