The effectiveness of a human resources function within a public utilityWalters, Gerrit 30 November 2006 (has links)
Midst contextual themes of new technologies and globalisation, South African organisations are challenged to attract, develop and retain suitable skills in a labour market that will continue to suffer shortages. The HR function of today is required to partner with organisations at a strategic level in response to this challenge. Successful organisations understand that transforming the HR function require regular in-depth analyses of its effectiveness.
The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an HR function operating in a public utility, against current trends in HR transition. Different evaluation methodologies are explored to develop a theoretical evaluation model for the effectiveness of a HR function.
The results confirmed that the HR function is not effective in its role as strategic partner, and highlights significant differences in perception between the stakeholders and the HR function regarding its effectiveness. Recommendations were made on future transformation actions for the specific HR function. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial Psychology)

The effect of a corporate diversity workshopNaidoo, Vyjantimala 06 1900 (has links)
The daunting challenge that faces South African business is to redress the inequalities of past discrimination and to develop to its maximum the potential of every team member while remaining competitive. Some of the key challenges include creating a supportive and attractive work environment that's inclusive of diversity, staff retention and an organisational culture that will leverage diversity. The case study organisation faced similar challenges. In order to understand the dynamics a diversity workshop was designed and consulted from a systems psychodynamic paradigm. The primary task of the Diversity Workshop was to provide opportunities for members to study and learn about intrapersonal, interpersonal and inter group relationships in relation to diversity behaviour in the workplace. 50 participants attended the workshop and 22 participants completed the questionnaire. The content was analysed and themes from a psychodynamic stance identified. The overall objective of the workshop was met as it made unconscious behaviour visible, allowed participants to reflect, facilitated dialogue and enabled transfer of learning to the workplace. This approach allowed groups to move from basic assumptions to task oriented behaviour. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M. Com. (Industrial Psychology)

An investigation into the effectiveness of the staff development policies and programmes of the Unisa libraryRamalibana, Kataila M. 09 December 2005 (has links)
This study investigated the effectiveness of staff training and development programmes and policies at the Unisa Library. The aim of the study was to establish how staff training and development needs were met and also how staff felt about the centralisation of the Human Resources Department. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed among the Unisa Library staff including the Unisa Branch Libraries. Interviews with four divisional managers were also conducted.
Staff development is an ongoing process that, by means of a systematic approach, serves to orient, train, and develop each member of the library staff to work together and to serve their customers with the skills necessary to deliver a quality service. As a result, training can be viewed as an essential vehicle to efficient and effective performance by staff and also as a process that develops the skills, awareness or expertise of staff. This is important for both professional and non-professional employees.
Chapter one of this dissertation provided the orientation of this study. Chapter two looked at how the study was conducted, including the research design and methods. Chapter three provided information on the legal aspects of training and development in the workplace and what employees need to be aware of and to know. Chapter four dealt with staff training and development and a literature survey. Chapter five gave an analysis and interpretation of the research findings. Chapter six described the situation at Unisa with respect to staff training and development, while in chapter seven recommendations were made based on the findings of this study.
It was found that the personal development of staff was hindered as only job - related training is supported by the Library's STD workgroup. It is recommended that a training needs analysis be compiled in the Library based on the individual staff training requirements expressed during annual performance appraisals.
Fifty percent of the staff who were surveyed thought it was good to centralise the Human Resources Department. / Information Science / M. A. (Information Science)

‘Integration’ as a key concept in organization development : the case of Gauteng Shared Services CentreMogale, Nakampe Joseph 03 1900 (has links)
Perceived failures of previous service delivery models within the Gauteng Provincial Departments dictates for experimentation with new working and improved models. Gauteng Shared Service Centre was established to improve efficiencies and effectiveness and service delivery to all citizens in the province.
This study conceptualizes and analyses integration of Gauteng Shared Service Centre Organisation Development functions. Specialisation within the component seems to create problems both for the component internally and its client externally which may have a spill-over effect to service delivery to the provincial citizens.
The General Systems Theory is utilized to facilitate the analysis of the Organisation Development component from a system’s perspective. This component of the GSSC, like any system exits for the achievement of a specific objective. Working together among system components is crucial for efficiencies. Integration is crucial in coordinating all specialist tasks of the component for improved service delivery to clients. / Public Administration / M.A. (Public Administration)

Toekomstige rol van tegniese kolleges in die RSA : 'n onderwysbestuursperpektiefWilliamson, James 06 1900 (has links)
Met die implementering van die Wet op Tegniese Kolleges, 1981 (Wet 104 van 1981) het 'n nuwe tydvak vir hierdie inrigtings begin. Indien die kort tydperk waarin tegniese kolleges in hulle huidige vorm bestaan in ag geneem word, kan aanvaar word dat daar nog verskeie probleme op hierdie terrein le. In hierdie werk is daar gepoog om enkele relevante probleme aan te spreek. Met die toekomstige rol van tegniese kolleges in die RSA in gedagte is veral drie belangrike knelpunte ondersoek, naamlik:
* die werkterrein van tegniese kolleges;
* bestuurstrukture vir tegniese kolleges binne dieAfrikaanse onderwysstelsel; en
* die outonomie van kollegerade.
Ten einde hierdie probleme te kon deurskou, is die huidige posisie van naskoolse beroepsonderwys aan tegniese kolleges, en die bestuurstrukture van hierdie kolleges binne die Suid Afrikaanse onderwysstelsel, nagegaan. Uit die literatuurondersoek, wat ook die situasie van soortgelyke onderwysinrigtings in 'n paar oorsese lande insluit, het dit geblyk dat sekere aanpassings aan die bestaande stelsel gemaak sal moet word ten einde tegniese kolleges in staat te stel om hulle toekomstige rol in die RSA te kan vervul. Om die menings van kundiges op die gebied van tegniese kolleges en naskoolse beroepsonderwys oor genoemde knelpunte te bekom, is
'n kwalitatiewe studie uitgevoer. Tydens ongestruktureerde onderhoude met tien informante is beskrywende data ingewin. Om 'n meer volledige siening oor die aspekte te verkry is resente uitsprake
in toesprake, referate en skrywes bygewerk. Nadat alle data geanaliseer en bespreek is, is tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die wyse waarop tegniese kolleges huidiglik funksioneer aangepas sal moet word sodat hierdie inrigtings hulle toekomstige rol in die RSA sal kan vervul. Die vernaamste aanpassings wat aanbeveel word is:
* die werkterrein van tegniese kolleges moet so wees dat hulle onderrigprogramme inpas by die van technikons;
* die ideale bestuurstruktuur sal wees as alle tegniese kolleges
onder 'n sentrale onderwysdepartement ressorteer;
* die outonomie van kollegerade moet uitgebrei word; maar
* ten einde dit te kan doen sal kolleges gerasionaliseer moet word. / The implementation of the Technical Colleges Act, 1981 (Act 104 of 1981) introduced a new era for these institutions. If the short period of time in which technical colleges have been in existence in their present form is considered, it can be accepted that many problems still exist in this field. The researcher has endeavoured to address certain relevant problems. With the future role of technical colleges in the RSA in mind, three important aspects came under close scrutiny, namely:
* the fields of study of technical colleges;
* management structures for technical colleges in the South African education system; and
* the autonomy of college councils.
In order to deal with these matters, the present position of post-school vocational education at technical colleges and the management structures of these colleges in the South African education system were examined. The study of literature, which included the study of educational systems of similar institutions in several overseas countries, revealed that certain adjustments would have to be made to the existing system in order to enable technical colleges to fulfil their future role in the RSA. A qualitative study was conducted in order to acquire the opinions of knowledgeable persons in the field of technical colleges and post-school vocational education on the above-mentioned aspects. During unstructured interviews with ten informants descriptive data was elicited. In order to obtain a more comprehensive view of these aspects, recent statements in speeches, papers and articles were also taken into consideration. After all the data was analysed and discussed, the conclusion was reached that the way in which technical colleges are functioning at present will have to be modified to enable these institutions to fulfil their future role in the RSA. The most important modifications which are recommended are:
* the fields of study of technical colleges should be such that their instructional programmes fit in with those of the
technikons;
* the ideal management structure would be for all technical colleges to fall under a central education department;
* the autonomy of college councils should be extended; but
* in order for this to take place, colleges will have rationalised. / Educational Management and Leadership / D. Ed. (Onderwysbestuur)

Managing Performance Management and Development Systems (PMDS) in the Districts of the Gauteng Department of EducationSefora, Justice Thabo 02 1900 (has links)
In 2003, Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) introduced policies on performance management in an endeavour to improve the quality of teaching and learning in schools. With these policies, schools are supposed to be constantly audited, monitored, and supported by district officials. Within district offices, there are unit supervisors who are responsible to manage PMDS to inculcate a performance culture. This performance culture is subsequently cascaded down to schools to yield quality matric results and yet this remains to be seen.
Furthermore, the study aimed to explore the experiences and perceptions of supervisors and officials on the PMDS management within districts. With an interpretive paradigm, the researcher was able to analyse data from interviews and questionnaires. The study revealed that PMDS is generally acknowledged and positively perceived albeit with significant challenges to its implementation in the GDE districts. / Educational Leadership and Management / M.Ed.
