Les interrelations entre les trajectoires addictives et le vécu homosexuel chez des Montréalais gais et bisexuels / The interrelations between the addiction trajectories and the gay life course experience among gay and bisexual men in Montreal

Flores-Aranda, Jorge January 2015 (has links)
Résumé : La consommation problématique de substances psychoactives (SPA) représente un problème de santé pour certains hommes gais/bisexuels. Leur consommation présente des caractéristiques particulières, parfois associées à leur vécu homosexuel, et ils tardent à consulter des services en toxicomanie. Cette étude qualitative descriptive vise à : 1) décrire et comprendre les interrelations entre certaines dimensions du vécu homosexuel et les trajectoires de consommation de SPA chez les hommes gais et bisexuels; 2) documenter leur expérience quant à leur utilisation des services en toxicomanie; 3) établir des liens entre ces expériences et leur vécu homosexuel; et, 4) identifier leurs besoins en matière de services. 35 entrevues semi-dirigées ont été menées auprès d’hommes gais/bisexuels, âgés en moyenne de 46 ans, ayant une consommation problématique de SPA. L’ensemble du matériel a fait l’objet d’une analyse thématique. Les trajectoires de consommation de SPA et le vécu homosexuel s’entrecroisent au moment de la découverte et de l’acceptation des désirs homoérotiques; lors de l’expérimentation sexuelle; lors de la rencontre d’un partenaire sexuel/affectif; dans le contexte de relations sociales au sein du milieu gai. La majorité des hommes interrogés avait déjà utilisé des services en toxicomanie, mais seulement moins de la moitié d‘entre eux avait été dirigée vers un tel service. L’augmentation de la consommation surgit souvent alors que la personne éprouve de la difficulté à accepter son orientation sexuelle, lors des expérimentations sexuelles ou au moment d’un diagnostic de VIH. Cette augmentation mène parfois la personne à se questionner quant à sa consommation et à demander de l’aide auprès d’un service spécialisé. Dans certains cas, la consommation problématique n’a pas été détectée au bon moment. De plus, la sexualité n’est pas suffisamment abordée dans le cadre des services en toxicomanie. Les résultats montrent l’importance de tenir compte des différentes dimensions du vécu homosexuel, dont la sexualité, dans les stratégies de prévention de la consommation auprès de cette population, ainsi que dans les thérapies pour la toxicomanie. De plus, la détection de la consommation problématique au sein de cette population représente un défi. / Abstract : The problematic consumption of psychoactive substances (PAS) constitutes a health problem for certain gay/bisexual men. Their consumption has particular characteristics sometimes associated to their homosexual experience and their delay to consult addiction services. The present qualitative descriptive study, inscribed in symbolic interactionist perspective, aims to: 1) describe and understand the interrelations between certain dimensions of the gay life course experience and the consumption trajectories of PAS among gay and bisexual men; 2) document their experience in relation to their use of addiction services; 3) establish links between their experiences and their gay life course experience; and, 4) identify their needs in matter of services. Thirty five semi-structured interviews were conducted with gay/bisexual men, who have a problematic consumption of PAS and have an average age of 46 years. The whole material has been analysed thematically. The addiction trajectories and the homosexual experience intersect at the time of the discovery and acceptance of homoerotic desires, during sexual experimentation; when finding a sexual/emotional partner; and as part of the socialization in the gay community, particularly in sexualized spaces. Most participants have used substance abuse services but only about half of them have received a reference to such services. The increase in consumption often emerges when they have problems accepting their sexual orientation, during sexual experimentation or when they receive an HIV diagnosis. The increase of consumption associated to these life events sometimes leads the participants to question their consumption and to demand help from a specialized service. For certain participants their consumption has not been detected in a good moment. Moreover, sexuality is not addressed in the addiction services. The results show the relevance of considering the different dimensions of the homosexual experience, including sexuality, in the prevention strategies for consumption as well as in the addiction therapies for this population. In addition, the detection of problematic consumption in this population represents a challenge.

Mobilité intra-organisationnelle et responsabilité sociétale de l'entreprise : essai de conceptualisation de la mobilité responsable / Intra-organizational mobility and corporate social responsibility : an essay to conceptualize responsible mobility

Blanchette, Cynthia 28 September 2018 (has links)
En se basant sur la littérature, nous étudions les liens entre les concepts de mobilité intra-organisationnelle et de Responsabilité Sociétale de l’Entreprise (RSE). Aujourd’hui, les salariés et les entreprises portent un intérêt croissant pour ces deux concepts. Le contexte économique et social, engendre une grande préoccupation pour la mobilité et pour la RSE. La loi du 22 septembre 2017 modifie en profondeur le droit du travail notamment au niveau du régime du licenciement. Ce contexte vient accentuer et souligner l’importance du sujet. Afin de comprendre les enjeux, nous étudions ces concepts sous l’angle gestionnaire, économique et juridique. Puis, le fruit de notre réflexion nous amène à conceptualiser la «mobilité responsable» à partir de cinq grands piliers : l’employabilité, la justice organisationnelle, l’équité, les catégories-socio professionnelles et les ancres de carrière. Notre démarche empirique a pour objectif de mieux appréhender les enjeux des démarches de mobilité interne. Tout d’abord, nous réalisons 47 entretiens auprès de membres de la direction des ressources humaines de 19 grands groupes situés en France. Dans le cadre d’une démarche basée sur la théorie enracinée, l’objectif est l’émergence de la connaissance sur le processus et les outils d’accompagnement de la mobilité interne. À l’issue de ces entretiens, nous proposons une grille de lecture originale et innovante. Afin de recueillir le point de vue des salariés, nous mettons en œuvre une démarche quantitative. Dans cette perspective, nous diffusons un questionnaire de recherche via internet auprès de salariés de grandes entreprises en France. Notre échantillon compte 313 répondants. Cette démarche complémentaire permet de connaître les liens avec notre concept de mobilité responsable. Nous cherchons à valider ou invalider nos hypothèses et à mesurer les influences de la mobilité responsable. Nous trouvons de profondes différences dans les pratiques de mobilité intra-organisationnelle dans les entreprises. La catégorie socio-professionnelle est un élément prégnant expliquant la diversité des pratiques d’entreprise. Cette thèse contribue à l’exploration de la mobilité responsable dans les disciplines de sciences de gestion au sein des problématiques de gestion des ressources humaines. / Based on the literature, we study the links between the concepts of intra-organizational mobility and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Today, employees and companies are increasingly interested in both concepts. The economic and social context gives rise to great concern for mobility and CSR. The law of September 22, 2017 profoundly changes the labor law, particularly at the dismissal regime. This context accentuates and emphasizes the importance of the subject. To understand the issues, we study these concepts from a managerial, economic and legal point of view. Then, we conceptualize "responsible mobility" based on three main pillars: employability, organizational justice and equity. Our approach allows us to better understand the issues related to the intra-organizational mobility approach within companies. First, we carry out 47 interviews with members of the human resources department of 19 major groups located in France. As part of an approach based on Grounded Theory, the objective is the emergence of knowledge about the process and the tools for supporting internal mobility. As an outcome of these interviews, we propose an original and innovative reading grid. In order to gather the point of view of the employees, we implement a quantitative approach. Then, we circulate a research questionnaire to employees of large companies in France via the Internet to gather data on the point of view of the employees. Our sample has 313 respondents. This complementary approach makes it possible to know the links with our concept of responsible mobility. We seek to validate or invalidate our hypotheses and measure the impact of responsible mobility. We find many differences in intra-organizational mobility practices. The socio-professional category is an essential element explaining the diversity of practices in companies. This thesis contributes to the exploration of responsible mobility in the disciplines of management sciences in the context of human resources management issues.

Cultura política e percepção tributária : uma análise sobre a sustentação da democracia brasileira

Linhares, Bianca de Freitas January 2011 (has links)
A desconfiança tem sido uma característica constante em vários países democráticos. Um forte motivo para esse comportamento é que em diversas sociedades os cidadãos não mostram satisfação com atividades governamentais, tais como disponibilização ou o acesso a bens e serviços. Mas, para que governos possam ofertar esses bens e serviços, é necessário que a população cumpra alguns deveres na relação Sociedade-Estado. Faz parte dessas obrigações o pagamento de impostos, previsto na teoria do contrato social, que define direitos e deveres mútuos para os atores acima referidos. O dever do Estado é buscar o bem comum. Contudo, pesquisas de opinião têm revelado a fragilidade da relação supracitada, o que pode colocar em risco a estabilidade democrática. Esta tese se propõe a pesquisar, a partir da teoria da cultura política, as relações entre a percepção tributária e as bases de sustentação da democracia (o apoio e a satisfação dos brasileiros em relação à democracia no Brasil), aspectos fundamentais para a manutenção do contrato social e do equilíbrio democrático. A pesquisa tem natureza quantitativa, com uso de bancos de dados de diferentes pesquisas realizadas em âmbito nacional. Os resultados do estudo sugerem que a atual percepção tributária da população brasileira favorece atitudes e comportamentos deletérios para as bases democráticas do país. / Distrust has been a constant characteristic in many democratic countries. A big reason for this behavior is that citizens in different societies do not show satisfaction with government activities, such as availability or access to goods and services. But, for governments can offer such goods and services, it is necessary that the population meets some duties in the relation State-Society. Part of those obligations is to pay taxes, predicted by social contract theory, which defines mutual rights and duties for the actors mentioned above. The state's duty is to seek the common good. However, polls has revealed the fragility of the relationship above, which can endanger democratic stability. This dissertation aims to explore, from the theory of political culture, relations between taxes perceptions and the bases of sustentation for democracy (the support and the satisfaction of Brazilians regarding democracy in Brazil), essential aspects for the maintenance of the social contract and democratic balance. The research is quantitative, using databases from different surveys conducted nationwide. The study results suggests that the current tax perception of the population favors deleterious attitudes and behaviors to the democratic foundations of the country.

Speaking Out: How Women Create Meaning from the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty

Infanger, Valori 16 November 2009 (has links) (PDF)
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty could be used to effectively expand the media-narrowed definition of beauty. This study focused on the Onslaught video and corresponding message board. The sample included 119 posts written by 85 different message board users. Both a descriptive and interpretive content analysis based on reception analysis was used to deconstruct the message posters' interpretation and construction of individual beauty. The posters used the board primarily to express themselves, attach blame to the media and arrive at consensus. Overall, the users responded positively to the campaign. Twenty themes emerged from the posts, with the most prevalent attaching blame to the media for societal problems. The findings of this study suggest that Dove effectively created an online community where women could find a voice to express themselves and share experiences. More importantly, Dove initiated a public discussion that is a preliminary step in changing social norms. As such, the campaign should be viewed as having been effective.
