Professionnalisation et développement professionnel : cas des agents de sécurité privée de la branche surveillance humaine en France / Professionalization and professional development : case of private security agents of human surveillance division in France

Arroyo, Antonio 03 July 2017 (has links)
Ce travail de recherche porte sur l’étude de la tension entre le discours institutionnel sur la professionnalisation de la sécurité privée en France et le processus d’exercice et d’apprentissage du métier par les agents de sécurité. Différents facteurs indiquent les enjeux du projet institutionnel de professionnalisation et des dispositifs de formation. Le chercheur met en évidence, à partir d’une approche qualitative et multidimensionnelle, les intentions institutionnelles et l’écart existant entre le discours et la réalité. Sur le terrain, les agents de sécurité vivent mal leur entrée dans la profession et la réalisation de leur métier. Pour remplir les objectifs du contrat, ils construisent une norme informelle d’acceptation des risques, inductrice du processus d’apprentissage. L’action ainsi développée permet aux agents de sécurité d’apprendre au fil de l’activité. L’évolution rapide des attentes institutionnelles en matière de sécurité transforme les opérationnels et les interroge dans un nouveau rapport à l’action. Les réponses apportées exigent une approche globale de prévention et de gestion des risques sur les sites et les territoires (pour la plupart en présence du public). Un nouveau concept de coproduction de sécurité publique et privée apparaît et le discours institutionnel change alors d’aspect, mais la réalité opérationnelle reste décalée. / This academic research task focuses on the tension between the institutional discourse on the professionalization of private security in France and on the learning and practice process of the profession by security agents. Different factors point to the issue of the institutional project of the professionalization and of the training systems. The researcher brings to light, with a qualitative and multidimentional approach, the institutional intentions and the gap between the displayed speech and reality. In the field, the security agents feel uncomfortable at the beginning of their profession, when they understand what their profession truly is. To fulfill the objectives of the contract, they build an informal standard risk of acceptance, the key-driver of the training process. The action thus developed allows the security agents to learn in the course of their activity. The swift evolution of institutional expectancies in security matters transforms the operators and calls them in a new relation to action. The answers given require a global approach to risk prevention and management on sites and territories (mostly with the public attending). A new concept of coproduction of private and public security is born and the institutional discourse then changes in appearance, but the operational reality remains ill-adjusted.

Curriculum contestation : analysis of contemporary curriculum policy and practices in government and non-government education sectors in Western Australia

Griffiths, Joanne January 2008 (has links)
[Truncated abstract] The aim of this study was to analyse the changing dynamics within and between government and non-government education sectors in relation to the Curriculum Framework (CF) policy in Western Australia (WA) from 1995 to 2004. The Curriculum Council was established by an act of State Parliament in 1997 to oversee the development and enactment of the CF, which was released in 1998. A stated aim of the CF policy was to unify the education sectors through a shared curriculum. The WA State government mandated that all schools, both government and non-government, demonstrate compliance by 2004. This was the first time that curriculum was mandated for non-government schools, therefore the dynamics within and between the education sectors were in an accelerated state of transformation in the period of study. The timeframe for the research represented the period from policy inception (1995) to the deadline for policy enactment for Kindergarten to Year 10 (2004). However, given the continually evolving and increasingly politicised nature of curriculum policy processes in WA, this thesis also provides an extended analysis of policy changes to the time of thesis submission in 2007 when the abolition of the Curriculum Council was formally announced - a decade after it was established. ... The research reported in this thesis draws on both critical theory and post-structuralist approaches to policy analysis within a broader framework of policy network theory. Policy network theory is used to bring the macro focus of critical theory and the micro focus of post-structuralism together in order to highlight power issues at all levels of the policy trajectory. Power dynamics within a policy network are fluid and multidimensional, and power struggles are characteristic at all levels. This study revealed significant power differentials between government and non-government education sectors caused by structural and cultural differences. Differences in autonomy between the education sectors meant that those policy actors within the non-government sector were more empowered to navigate the competing and conflicting forms of accountabilities that emerged from the changes to WA curriculum policy. Despite both generalised discourses of blurring public/private boundaries within the context of neoliberal globalisation and specific CF goals of bringing the sectors together, the boundaries continue to exist. Further, there is much strategising about how to remain distinct within the context of increased market choice. This study makes a unique and significant contribution to the understanding of policy processes surrounding the development and enactment of the CF in WA and the implications for the changing dynamics within and between the education sectors. Emergent themes and findings may potentially be used as a basis for contrast and comparison in other contexts. The research contributes to policy theory by arguing for closer attention to be paid to power dynamics between localised agency in particular policy spaces and the state-imposed constraints.

Aspects of the demographic profile and standard of pharmaceutical services in South Africa / J. Adsetts

Adsetts, Jacqueline January 2006 (has links)
The objects of the South African Pharmacy Council in terms of the Pharmacy Act, 1974 (5311974) as amended are, inter alia, "to uphold and safeguard the rights of the general public to universally acceptable standards of pharmacy practice in both the private and the public sector" as well as "to establish, develop, maintain and control universally acceptable standards of practice of the various categories of persons required to be registered.. ." One of the major difficulties health care providers worldwide are faced with is how to maintain a proper balance between the trio goals of health care, namely adequate access, high quality and acceptable costs (Li, 2003:192-193). Relatively little is known about such problems as do exist for patients regarding access to pharmaceutical services (Doucette et al., 1999:1268). Two main objectives were identified for this study, namely to investigate the demographic profile of community and institutional pharmacies registered with the South African Pharmacy Council; and to determine the standard of pharmaceutical services provided by these pharmacies. Inspection results of community and institutional pharmacies were obtained from the South African Pharmacy Council and extracted for the time period 1 January 2004 to 31 May 2005. To determine the demographic and geographic profile of these pharmacies, data of the Register of Pharmacies of the South African Pharmacy Council for August 2003, 2004 and 2005 were merged with the Census data of South Africa of 2001. It was found that the total number of pharmacies in both the public and private sectors increased with 2.1% (n=68) from August 2003 to August 2005. Public and private pharmacies that provided services directly to patients increased with 6.3% (n=33) and 1.3% (n=35) from August 2003 to 2005. It was found that the Gauteng province was the best provided with registered pharmacies in South Africa, as only 0.06% (n=5 783) of the population did not have any registered pharmacy available on municipality level. It was also revealed that the majority of inspections were carried out in Gauteng, whilst this province accounts for only 19.7% of the total population of South Africa. During the study period a total of 1178 community pharmacy inspections were carried out in 1103 community pharmacies (one or more inspections per pharmacy) representing 43% (n=2 550) of the total number of community pharmacies registered with the South African Pharmacy Council during May 2005. Nationally community pharmacies achieved a score of 92.27 (+ 6.65 per cent) for compliance with Good Pharmacy Practice guidelines. The lowest compliance score (73.34 + 27.49 per cent) was obtained for the availability of written standard operating procedures and the highest was for the promotion of public health (99.02 + 6.30 per cent). No practical significant differences (dc0.8) were found between the overall compliance scores obtained by community pharmacies of the different provinces. The highest compliance score was obtained by community pharmacies in the Free State (93.09 + 4.90 per cent), followed by Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Kwazulu Natal, Limpopo, Northern Cape, Gauteng, Mpumalanga and the North West. A total of 343 institutional pharmacy inspections (one or more inspections per pharmacy) were carried out in public and state subsidised institutions (n=245), private institutions (n=90) and mine hospitals (n=5). These pharmacies represented 46% of the total number of institutional pharmacies registered with the South African Pharmacy Council during May 2005. Nationally all institutional pharmacies (both private and public) achieved a score of 92.49 + 8.33 per cent for compliance with Good Pharmacy Practice guidelines for all above-mentioned aspects. Nationally public and state subsidised institutional pharmacies obtained a lower compliance score (91.02 + 9.08 per cent) than private institutional pharmacies (96.39 + 3.91 per cent). Lastly, a grading system was developed that was based on the results obtained through this study, in order to quantify the standard of pharmaceutical services provided by pharmacies in South Africa. / Thesis (M.Pharm.

Magistro darbe nagrinėjami Šiaulių miesto viešųjų ir privačiųjų įmonių, organizacijų personalo atrankos ypatumai. Darbe aptariamas personalo planavimo procesas, pagrindiniai personalo paieškos šaltiniai, dažniausiai naudojami personalo atrankos metodai. Taip pat analizuojama kokie kriterijai lemia darbo ir darbuotojo pasirinkimą. Nagrinėjami kriterijai, kurie lemia sėkmingą įsidarbinimą. Lyginami personalo paieškos, atrankos ypatumai viešajame ir privačiajame sektoriuje. Apklausoje dalyvavo 224 respondentai (170 personalo darbuotojų, 54 vadovai). Anketos išplatintos gamybos, paslaugų, prekybos įmonėse bei organizacijose. Šiaulių viešosiose ir privačiosiose organizacijose ar įmonėse vadovo pareigas eina vyrai, apklausoje jie sudarė 74 proc. net 79 proc. vadovų turi aukštąjį universitetinį išsilavinimą. Šiaulių miesto įmonėse, organizacijose pakankamai didelė darbuotojų kaita, kadangi 62 (iš 170) respondentai atsakė, kad institucijoje dirba iki 5 metų, 34 atsakė, kad 6- 10 metų. Šį teiginį taip pat patvirtina vis didėjanti darbuotojų kaita. Privatusis sektorius ir toliau sparčiai plečiasi Šiauliuose, viešojo sektoriaus plėtra yra gerokai lėtesnė. Apie laisvas darbo vietas įmonėse ir organizacijose Šiaulių miesto gyventojai geriausiai sužino iš pažįstamų rekomendacijų ir skelbimų spaudoje. 70 proc. visų apklaustų vadovų teigė, kad jų įmonėse, organizacijose nėra personalo skyrių ir darbuotojų atranką atlieka patys. Pats populiariausias Šiauliuose personalo atrankos metodas...

Kapitalo valstybinis reguliavimas, įgyvendinant viešojo ir privataus sektorių partnerystę / The public regulation of capital, considering implementation of public-private partnerships

Šutavičienė, Živilė 15 November 2013 (has links)
Šiuolaikinės socialinės ekonominės šalies plėtros tendencijos socialinių pokyčių vertinimo požiūriu reikalauja iš naujo įvertinti valdžios institucijų vaidmenį ekonomikoje. Valstybei, vykdant reguliacines ir kontrolės funkcijas, nustatant norminiais teisiniais aktais bendradarbiavimo taisykles tarp viešojo ir privataus sektorių, jos vaidmuo iš esmės keičiasi, kadangi viešasis sektorius vis dažniau turi būti aktyvus rinkos dalyvis, o ne tik stebėtojas. Disertaciniame tyrime analizuojama viešojo ir privataus sektorių sanglauda, kuri integruoja dviejų sektorių institucines ir veiklos galimybes bei absorbuoja teisinio statuso problemas, kurios kyla dėl to, kad vienas sektorius vadovaujasi daugiau viešosios, kitas privatinės teisės normomis. Nors kiekvienas sektorius turi savo tikslus, sektoriniame bendravime turi juos abipusiai derinti, ieškoti kompromisų, pasitelkti ne tik žmogiškuosius resursus, bet ir turimą socialinį bei ekonominį kapitalą. Administracinis teisinis reguliavimas turi padėti išlaikyti pusiausvyrą tarp privataus sektoriaus pagrindinio tikslo – pelno ir viešojo sektoriaus pareigos – užtikrinti viešojo intereso apsaugą. Disertacijoje kapitalas tiriamas per tris jo galimas socialinio, ekonominio ir žmogiškojo kapitalo vartojimo reikšmes, akcentuojant labiausiai teisiškai reikšmingus sektorinio bendravimo ypatumus. Kadangi iš viešojo sektoriaus kyla ekonominių, socialinių santykių valstybinio reguliavimo sprendimai, įvairūs teisiniai reguliavimo būdai ir metodai... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / The state trends of modern social-economic development require re-evaluation of the economic role of public institutions in order to assess social changes. As the state implements its regulatory and control functions, and establishes cooperation rules for public-private sectors by normative legal acts, its role essentially changes, because the public sector increasingly needs to be an active market participant, and not just an observer. Dissertation research analysis public-private sectors’ cohesion which integrates institutional and operational opportunities of the both sectors and absorbs the problems of legal status, which arise because one sector relies more on the norms of public law, and the other – on private law norms. Although each sector has its own goals, sectorial cooperation should involve counter-balancing and search for compromises. Administrative legal regulation has to help keep balance between the private sector, which has the main objective – profit and public sector goal’s to ensure protection of the public interest. The dissertation analyses the social, economic and human capital focusing on three possible notions of its use, stressing the most legally significant peculiarities of sectorial communication. The decisions on state regulation of economic and social relations arise from the public sector, which also produces various legal regulatory methods. Therefore, this dissertation aims at analysing and suggesting the proper ways of taking use of the... [to full text]

Efficient Provision Of Educational Services And Public Versus Private Universities: The Case Of Turkey

Cahan, Ercument 01 August 2005 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis studies the relative efficiencies of public and private universities in Turkish higher education system in producing human capital output for the economy in 1998-2002 period, by aiming at to propose a resource allocation policy for the realm of higher education to be pursued by the government. For this purpose, it develops a model which is built on the academic quality and per student expenditure variables of the public and private universities in producing human capital output, and calibrates it with Turkish higher education data. The results of the calibrated model have revealed that the resources devoted to higher education were allocated inefficiently between the public and private universities in Turkish higher education system in the above mentioned period. It is shown that the implementation of the government policy, which is proposed by study, helps the higher education market approach to Pareto optimum allocation of higher educational resources between public and private universities.
