Recruitment, selection and transfer of educators were decentralized after South Africa became a democratic state in 1994 and shifted to School Governing Bodies. The legislation promoted a shared governance and participation of parents in issues that are related to recruitment, selection and transfer of educators, but parents are struggling and facing challenges in performing these tasks as School Governing Body members especially in the Butterworth district, as a result of that Butterworth district is experiencing problems with increasing number of disputes resulting from the appointment of educators after they have been recommended by the School Governing Bodies. This study focuses on the recruitment, selection and transfer of educators in the Butterworth district of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The study sought to reveal the thinking behind government insistence on giving the School Governing Bodies a responsibility to recruit, select and transfer educators knowing fully well that they do not perform this responsibility. A qualitative approach was used to explore and challenge this phenomenon. This approach is concerned with understanding social phenomenon from the participant’s perspective. In depth semi – structured interviews with open ended questions were used to bring the researcher more closer to a more plausible perspective of this phenomenon. Moreover, they were used because they are the most appropriate method to capture the data. The findings revealed that School Governing Bodies are faced with challenges such as: high level of illiteracy, manipulation of School Governing Bodies by school management, unions and candidates, the issue of regionalism and kickbacks, capacity building and empowerment and role played by the Departmental Officials. By conducting this study, we hope that the findings might contribute in identifying the disjuncture between the policy and the practice in issues pertaining to educator recruitment, selection and transfers.

Resumé Human resources management in a small enterprise In my work I deal with the topic of human resources management in a small enterprise. In the first chapter I deal with the definition of the concept and historical development of this area. The second chapter is devoted to circumstances regarding the origin and termination of the employment. Human resources management in this stage begins with planning. Planning means determining the needs of the organization, especially in planning the required number of suitable, adequately trained and properly motivated employees at the right time. The planning is continued by recruitment. This phase ensures that the vacancies will attract sufficient number of suitable candidates. To identify which of the candidates is best suited to fill the job, you need to invite suitable candidates to the selection interview. The aim of the selection process is to find a suitable candidate with whom the contract will be concluded. An important area is the protection of personal data. The end of this chapter deals with the circumstances of termination of employment as defined in § 48-73 LC. The last chapter covers the main areas of human resources management in a small business. In the subsection "Performance management and evaluation" is devoted to the importance of implementing...

Legislation clearly stipulates for the principle of public service delivery to all the citizens of the country. It is the task of national and provincial government departments to prioritise service delivery (RSA, 1997:10). The quality of services delivered to the public by the national and provincial departments, relies significantly on the quality, skills and capabilities of the public officials. Therefore, recruitment of public officials must not only identify and attract potential employees but ensure that all appointees possess the skills and ability to enable public service departments to achieve their strategic goals and objectives, and subsequently provide quality services to the public. Based on an investigation conducted by the Public Service Commission (PSC), it was determined that most do not comply with the recruitment and selection requirements (PSC, 2006:8). In addition to the non-compliance with policy guidelines pertaining to recruitment and selection, as provided by the PSC through the Toolkit on Recruitment and Selection of 2006, the PSC, through an investigation on various HRM practices in the public service during 2010, found that widespread non-compliance with recruitment and selection guidelines are still prevalent. It is evident that departments are struggling to effectively implement recruitment and selection processes as stipulated in legislation and outlined in the policy documents. This study aimed to address: The non-compliance with legislation and policy requirements pertaining to the implementation of recruitment and selection practices which prevent departments in the public sector from appointing the most suitable employees to deliver on their mandate. A theoretical overview pertaining to recruitment and selection was conducted in the public service. Attention was also given to recruitment and best practices, which may be applicable to the Free State DPW. Furthermore, broad HRM legislation and policy, directing the implementation of recruitment and selection practices in the public service, was reviewed. An outline of legislation and policy as well as the recruitment and selection practices particularly applicable for its implementation in the Free State DPW public service was provided. The qualitative and quantitative research approaches were utilised in this study. Personal interviews and a semi-structured questionnaire were used as data collection instruments. Interviews were held with senior managers and middle managers involved in the process and experienced in strategic planning in the Free State DPW. The questionnaire was distributed to the line managers and junior officials who work with recruitment and selection practices in the department as well as union representatives. The empirical findings of the study were applied to the public service as a whole and recommendations were made on the implementation of recruitment and selection practices in the Free State DPW and the public service at large. / Master of Development and Management, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

The presented master thesis is an exploratory, multiple case study that analyzes the recruitment practices and their respective processes in five family firms located in the Southern part of Germany. A strong HR function inside a company is necessary to stay competitive in the market and survive in the long-run. Hereby recruitment is an important field of research because firms depend on their employees who are ultimately the vital factor in running a successful business. Recruitment is an ongoing process in a dynamic business world and a very crucial responsibility of HRM inside the organization. Especially due to the strong family involvement, commitment to the localities, overlap between financial and nonfinancial goals, and a deeply ingrained business culture based on the family founders’ values, establishing an effective recruitment process is even more important in family than in nonfamily firms. Thus, this study aims at exploring and researching individual characteristics associated with the recruitment practices and tries to display the main influencing factors in the recruitment process of the studied firms. Through analyzing secondary and primary data collected with the help of semi-structured interviews, the authors were able to gather insightful data from CEOs and HR representatives in order to draw comprehensive conclusions regarding how suitable employees are recruited in family firms. The results show that the person-organization (P-O) fit is a main component which family firms try to assess in their applicants. Personality and the fit to the respective business culture, apart from the actual skill-set, is an additional requirement for being recruited. Through various recruitment channels, strategies, and assessments the family firms try to use the construct of familiness to their advantage and benefit.

O modelo econômico capitalista é constantemente questionado quanto à sua débil capacidade de distribuir riqueza e, por consequência, linhas de pensamento com modelos alternativos são frequentemente propostas. Uma linha de pensamento que tem ganhado notoriedade toma o sistema capitalista atual como ponto de partida, não propõe uma ruptura, mas uma evolução do seu conceito ao inserir premissas de impacto social. Nesse modelo, algumas definições de negócios têm sido cunhadas, como negócios sociais, negócios inclusivos e empreendimentos sociais. Este projeto tomou como ponto de partida a experiência vivida em uma startup de recrutamento de pessoal para posições operacionais, a ADS, e seu plano de transformação do modelo de negócio atual para um negócio inclusivo, onde buscava não apenas inserir a temática responsabilidade social em suas ações mas incluí-la em sua atividade central como forma de solução a um problema operacional do empreendimento. Para atender ao objetivo da empresa, o estudo, uma pesquisa-ação, propôs e testou um modelo de negócio inclusivo no mercado de recrutamento e seleção. Para tanto, percorreu as etapas de: (1) investigação (análise do caso de negócio inclusivo da Danone Kiteiras e execução de teste); (2) proposição (planejamento do negócio); (3) ação (execução do plano de negócio ao longo de onze meses). O estudo revelou, ainda na primeira etapa da pesquisa, a necessidade de romper com o modelo de negócio da ADS, uma consultoria de recrutamento e seleção, e criar uma plataforma que conectasse empregadores e mães, que fariam o trabalho de recrutar e selecionar profissionais em suas comunidades. Nesse novo modelo, a empresa nascente (Kunla) assumiu a responsabilidade de capacitar as mães para entregarem o serviço de recrutamento e seleção (estruturar a oferta) e, ainda, vender o serviço dessas mulheres a empresas (gerar demanda). Ao final dos onze ciclos de execução do plano de negócio, a pesquisa conseguiu viabilizar um modelo operacional inclusivo para a atividade de recrutamento e seleção, dando condições à empresa de seguir adiante para a etapa de comercialização massiva do serviço. / The capitalist economic model is constantly questioned about its weak ability to distribute wealth and, as consequence, lines of thought with alternative models are often proposed. A line of thought that has gained notoriety takes the current capitalist system as a starting point, does not propose a rupture, but an evolution of its concept by inserting assumptions of social impact in it. In this model, some business definitions have been minted, such as social business, socially inclusive business, and social enterprises. This project took as its starting point the experience of a staff recruitment startup focused on operational positions, ADS, and its plan to transform the current business model into a socially inclusive business, where it sought not only to insert the social responsibility theme in its actions, but include it in its central activity as a way of solving an operational problem of the enterprise. To meet the company\'s goal, the study, an action-researched, proposed and tested a socially inclusive business model in the recruitment and selection market. To do so, it went through the steps of (1) investigation (analysis of Danone´s Kiteiras\'s socially inclusive business case and testing); (2) proposition (business planning); (3) action (execution of the business plan over eleven months). The study also revealed the need to break up with the ADS business model, a recruitment and selection consultancy, and create a platform that would connect employers and mothers, who would do the job of recruiting and selecting professionals in their communities. In this new model, the startup company (Kunla) assumed the responsibility of capacitating the mothers in order to deliver the recruitment and selection service (structuring the offer) and also selling of these women´s services to companies (generate demand). By the end of the eleven cycles executing the business plan, the research succeeded in building an inclusive operational model for the recruitment and selection activity, enabling the company to move forward to mass marketing the service.
