應用視覺化之框架效應於創新服務之行為意向改變 / Communication Visualization and Framing for Behavior Intention Change of New Service陳韻平, Chen, Yun Ping Unknown Date (has links)
處於服務大量興起的時代,創新服務成為企業關注的熱門議題且如雨後春筍般發展。然而,一個新服務的成功並不在於它的獨特性,而是取決於它的使用率與普及化。當中,觀察到有趣的現象,人們對於新服務的使用行為取決於自身的認知與社會影響力相互作用而產生;社會影響力在個人行為表現上扮演關鍵的因素,引導個人了解認知差距並提供建議改善認知以促進個人產生使用意圖。在本研究中,整合行為改變模型(TTM)、傳播理論、框架效應而發展出一套理論架構,並應用視覺化方式呈現資訊提供個人快速理解重點,重塑個人對於新服務的認知,且引起他們願意使用新服務的想法。基於認知重塑的目標,本研究貢獻為設計一套能輔助個人進行行為意向改變與加速新服務使用率的系統。 / In the service growing era, service innovation becomes a popular topic on the businesses who want to develop innovative services for people. However, the success factor is not on how special a service is; but rather, depends on how much utility and popularity of the service. This study has observed the interesting phenomenon that people's behavior performance depends on their cognition and the social influence playing an important role on affecting the intention. In order to resolve this condition, this study connects the transtheoretical model (TTM) of behavior change, communication theories, and frame effect model to develop a framework and apply visualization to provide people with the integral information that can reframe their cognition to enhance their intention to accept the new service. Based on the cognition reframing, this study develops an artifact the can assist people to exercise the cognition adjustment that can reinforce the behavior intention change and facilitate the usage of new service.

Rol van lokus van kontrole by die swak presteerderOosthuizen, Jan Adriaan 06 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Die invloed van die persoonskonstruk, lokus van kontrole, op die akademiese prestasie van leerlinge in die senior
sekondere skoolfase is aangespreek. Literatuur bevestig 'n verband tussen lokus van kontrole en
akademiese prestasie. Interne kontrole word met hoe akademiese prestasie en verantwoordelikheidsaanvaarding
geassosieer. Persoonlikheidskenmerke van intern of ekstern georienteerde leerlinge, die invloed van lokus van kontrole op persoonlike perspektief, selfkonsep en akademiese prestasie toon dat internes hulself as bekwaam, effektief en suksesvol beskou terwyl eksternes meer negatiewe persoonskenmerke beklemtoon.
Die CNS-IE en IAR vraelyste is gebruik om algemene- en akademiese lokus van kontrole onderskeidelik te meet.
Leerlinge wat akademies volgens vermoe presteer, behaal hoer interne tellings as die wat onderpresteer.
Geen een-tot-een verwantskap tussen lokus van kontrole en akademiese prestasie is tydens die empiriese ondersoek gevind nie. Daar is dus ander faktore wat saam met lokus van kontrole die akademiese prestasie van senior sekondere leerlinge beinvloed. / The influence of the personality construct, locus of control, on the academic achievement of pupils in the
senior secondary school phase was investigated. Literature confirms a relation between locus of control and
academic achievement. Internal control is associated with high academic achievement and acceptance of responsibility. Personality characteristics of internals and externals, the influence of locus of control on personal perspective, self-concept and academic achievement shows that internals view themselves as capable, ef cient and succesful while externals emphasise more negative personality characteristics. The CNS IE and IAR were used to measure general and academic locus of control. Academic achievers obtained higher internal scores than underachievers on both questionnaires. The results of the Empirical research indicate that locus of control is not the sole determinant of academic achievement. Therefore, other factors in conjunction with locus of control influence academic achievement. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Voorligting)

Previous issue date: 2015-01-01 / Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa / This study aims to understand the processes of learning in the context of the solidarity economy. The participants are entrepreneurs belonging to the Association of Craftsman and Artists of Diadema (Sao Paulo - Brazil). The research question is "how the learning processes of cooperation, self-management, solidarity and economic action are developed by entrepreneurs of solidarity economy belonging to an association of craftsmen in order to act in this type of economy? ". The overall objective is to identify, describe and analyze how they develop the learning processes of cooperation, self-management, solidarity and economic action. Specific aims are to identify who are the subjects of learning (how they are defined and where they are located), why they learn (the reasons that lead to learning), what they learn (what are the contents and what are the outcomes of learning) and how they learn (what are the key actions of the learning processes). This is a critical qualitative and interpretative study which theoretical framework is composed of two approaches: interpretive interactionism (Denzin, 2001) and social learning theory (Elkjaer, 2003). These approaches converge and put the experiences undergone by people in their everyday life as starting points for understanding social phenomena. The field research is contextualized from the concepts and landmarks presented by Singer (2002), França-Filho (2007), Lechat (2002), Gaiger (2003) and Silva (2011) and the Ministry of Labor and Employment of Brazil (BRAZIL, 2012). Interpretive interactionism is also used to guide the methodological procedures. The organization chosen to carry out the research was the Association of Craftsman and Artists of Diadema (São Paulo Brazil). It represents an opportunity to enter a field that today is little explored in studies of organizational learning. To capture the phenomenon eight interviews were conducted with seven craftswoman and with the president of the Association. The recorded material and transcripts originated life histories of thick description. The analysis of recurring features of life histories led to the recognition of five instances where there are the learning experiences of interaction - and the epiphanies which directly or indirectly lead to the learning of cooperation, self-management, solidarity and economic action. These instances are: the family, the individual, the other , the entity of social economy and local government . Learning processes as identified and analyzed in this study considers the influence of power operating in the context. In this sense, it was found that, under the AAAPD, the learning processes of the basic elements of solidarity economy remains tied to local government initiatives and strategies. The entity maintains strong dependency relationship with local government what constitutes the main difficulty in conducting its activities and disseminating, experiencing and manifesting collectively the principles of solidarity economy. This study helps to increase knowledge about learning in different organizational contexts from those of traditional private economy and the impact of social environments in these processes. It also serves as a reference for the use of interpretive interactionism as a theoretical-methodological approach in studies in the field of organizational learning. / Este trabalho propõe estudar processos de aprendizagem no contexto da economia solidária, tendo como participantes empreendedores pertencentes à Associação de Artesãos e Artistas Plásticos de Diadema-SP. A pergunta de pesquisa é: como se desenvolvem os processos de aprendizagem da cooperação, da autogestão, da solidariedade e da ação econômica de empreendedores da economia solidária pertencentes a uma associação de artesãos para atuarem nessa outra economia? . O objetivo geral é identificar, descrever e analisar o modo pelo qual se desenvolvem os processos de aprendizagem da cooperação, da autogestão, da solidariedade e da ação econômica por esses empreendedores. Como objetivos específicos, identificar quem são os sujeitos de aprendizagem da economia solidária (como são definidos e onde se localizam), por que eles aprendem (que motivos os levam a aprender), o que aprendem (quais conteúdos aprendem e quais são os desfechos disso) e como aprendem (quais são as ações-chave dos processos de aprendizagem). Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e interpretativo crítico cujo arcabouço teórico é integrado por duas abordagens: o interacionismo interpretativo (Denzin, 2001) e a teoria da aprendizagem social (Elkjaer, 2003). Essas abordagens são convergentes e colocam as experiências vividas pelas pessoas no seu cotidiano como pontos de partida para a compreensão dos fenômenos sociais. O campo de pesquisa foi contextualizado a partir dos conceitos e marcos históricos apresentados por Singer (2002), França-Filho (2007), Lechat (2002), Gaiger (2003) e Silva (2011) e pelo Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (BRASIL, 2012). O interacionismo interpretativo também é utilizado para orientar os procedimentos metodológicos. A organização escolhida para realização da pesquisa foi a Associação de Artesãos e Artistas Plásticos de Diadema-SP (AAAPD). Pesquisar aprendizagem junto a uma associação de artesãos representou a oportunidade de adentrar num campo que hoje é pouco explorado no âmbito dos estudos de aprendizagem em organizações. Para a captura do fenômeno foram realizadas oito entrevistas, das quais sete com artesãs e uma com a AAAPD. Os materiais gravados e transcritos originaram as histórias de vida de descrição densa. A análise das características recorrentes das histórias de vida levou ao reconhecimento de cinco instâncias de aprendizagem nas quais se localizam as experiências de interação e também as epifanias que, de forma direta ou indireta, conduzem à aprendizagem da cooperação, da autogestão, da solidariedade e da ação econômica. Essas instâncias são: a família, o próprio indivíduo, o outro, a entidade de economia solidária e o poder público local. Os processos de aprendizagem tal como foram identificados e analisados neste estudo consideram as influência de poder operando no contexto. Nesse sentido, verificou-se que, no âmbito da AAAPD, os processos de aprendizagem dos elementos de base da economia solidária se mantém atrelados às iniciativas e estratégias de governo do poder público local, com quem a entidade mantém forte relação de dependência, que, por sua vez, constitui a principal dificuldade na condução de suas atividades e na disseminação, vivência e manifestação coletiva desses princípios. Este estudo possibilita ampliar o conhecimento sobre aprendizagem em contextos organizacionais diferentes daqueles da economia privada tradicional e o impacto dos ambientes sociais nesses processos. Ele também serve como referência para a utilização do interacionismo interpretativo como abordagem teórico-metodológica em estudos no campo da aprendizagem organizacional.

Guidance and support model to assist parents and learners with aggressive behaviourPadayichie, Kumaree 11 1900 (has links)
In the light of increasing concerns related to violence in the South African society, this study sought to explore the nature of aggression amongst Grade R learners through the voices of principals, phase heads, educators, parents and support staff. Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, Social Learning Cognitive Theory and Bronfenbrenner’ Bio-ecological Theory provided the theoretical lens for this qualitative study. The study was undertaken in two
primary schools and one nursery school with 22 participants in the Johannesburg area in
South Africa. Data was produced through interviews and questionnaires. The findings show that the nature of aggression is complex, multi-dimensional and contextual. Aggressive behaviour was conceptualised as interconnected physical and emotional states coupled with the verbal competence to act out aggressive behaviour. This was triggered by a number of factors included in the genetic and environmental domains. The exploration of approaches, methods and lines of intervention suggest the need for multi-stakeholders to work together for holistic and responsive interventions. These findings contributed to the development of the Tree of Nurturance in order to unravel a contextualised site-based model for intervention to address aggressive behaviour. / Early Childhood Education / D.

Student and Counselor Perceptions of a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program's EffectivenessDunworth, Rodney Dean 05 1900 (has links)
Research reveals that disciplinary alternative education programs (DAEPs) are growing at an alarming rate. What are schools doing to ensure success for those students who are placed in a DAEP? In this descriptive qualitative research study, I examined how DAEPs can operate at a more effective level in order to provide a restorative environment, resulting in a decreased recidivism rate for troubled youth. In order to achieve this overall objective, the following research questions framed this study RQ1: What are the qualities in a disciplinary alternative education program setting that lead to either success or failure of a DAEP program? RQ2: Why do students continue to commit offenses which lead to multiple assignments in a disciplinary alternative education program? RQ3: How does a disciplinary alternative education program provide a restorative environment for troubled youth in order to decrease recidivism? RQ4: What resources are available to reduce the amount of repeat student assignments to DAEP? Participants were 12 North Texas secondary school students with multiple assignments to DAEPs and 12 North Texas secondary counselors who provide emotional and behavioral supports to these students. The findings indicate there is a high need for the implementation of transitional supports, a high need for consistent and targeted counselor support and resources, a high need to change student behavior, a high need to build positive relationships, and a high need to address the environmental (social) factors that influence behavior.

Witnessing moral educators breaking (their) moral teachings, morality and self-reported crime : A study on adults in two countries, Sweden and GreeceAvratoglou, Alexandros January 2021 (has links)
The present paper extends previous research in terms of integrating social learning with morality theories, under the framework of moral educators’ and their conflicting moral influences. Specifically, this study aims to investigate the impact of witnessing moral educators breaking (their) moral teachings on individual’s morality and criminal behavior using a sample of two countries, Sweden and Greece, with similar population but entirely different cultural and social characteristics. We focus on three research questions regarding the correlations and (i) the explanatory influence of witnessing this conflict on moral emotions and values by gender and country, (ii) its impact on traditional crime by gender and country and (iii) the impact that witnessing the conflict and morality mutually have on traditional crime in the two countries. Our findings emerge in three key points. First, we found that witnessing moral educators influenced both moral emotions differentially in each country and gender, but only affected Swedish males’ moral values. Secondly, our results showed that witnessing moral educators can explain a moderate to small variance of traditional crime only for males in the two countries. Lastly, we found that witnessing moral educators together with morality can explain a moderate variance of traditional crime in the two countries, while gender is highly important for both countries. Findings are discussed in relation to theory and previous research. Future research is recommended in order to expand the understanding of the cultural and social learning processes that inhibit (im)moral contexts and subsequently affect morality and offending.

The relationship between occupational stress and locus of control among nursesVan Niekerk, Melissa 09 November 2011 (has links)
The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between occupational stress and locus of control, to analyse and investigate the nature of nurses’ work and to determine the sources of stress and how they influence the nurses’ work environment and personal lives. The Work and Life Circumstances Questionnaire (WLQ) and Rotter’s 23-item scale were applied in a probability, simple random sample consisting of 302 South African nursing students and nurses currently employed in the private and public healthcare sector. Significant relationships were observed between the variables. Supporting evidence indicates that there is a negative correlation between occupational stress and locus of control. The results further indicate significant differences among the different locus of control orientations and the participants perceived level of stress; as well as a difference in the correlations between occupational stress and demographics such as marital status, working time and occupational level. Finally, the researcher was able to determine which stressors cause the highest level of stress among the participants. The findings should contribute valuable new information to the employee well-being literature and human resource management practices relating to employee assistance programmes, employee well-being and the retention of staff, especially in the healthcare sector.

ACCESSING MICROFINANCE THROUGH FINANCIAL LITERACY : A Case Study of Hand in Hand Eastern Africa’s Operations in KenyaLindahl, Pontus, Mokvist, Linda January 2020 (has links)
In 2015, United Nations implemented seventeen Sustainable Development Goals along with 169 sub-targets with the ambition to transform the world through achieving sustainable development and, hence annihilate poverty. In light of the foregoing, both authoritative and non-governmental entities accentuated the significance of ‘financial inclusion’ which, in turn, has developed into an evangelical advocacy reminiscent of the extensive publicity that microfinance received at the end of last century which, in turn, has led to an unprecedented passion among philanthrocapitalists, transnational corporations, and other benefactors to financially and socially assist the impoverished. In order to attain the objectives enforced by the United Nations, it is essential to elevate the people located at the bottom of the social hierarchy by minimizing the wealth and gender inequalities that exist. By providing women with equal access to education, job opportunities, financial resources, and representation in economic and political decision- making processes, both domestic and international prosperity will follow. Upon providing access to microfinancial services, microfinance institutions and similar entities have developed into essential tools for empowering women. Academic evidence has previously illustrated a positive association between the probability of accessing these services and the possession of an adequate understanding of economic knowledge – financial literacy. However, the underlying mechanisms of financial literacy and their possible connections to the access of microfinance are complex processes that often have been neglected in current academia. Hence, the purpose of this study is to determine the significant factors of financial literacy and examine how they interplay with the access to microfinancial activities. Accordingly, the objective of this paper is to answer the following research question. How does financial literacy favor women’s access to microfinancial services in developing countries? In order to obtain a greater insight into the subject matter, this paper utilizes a single-case study of Hand in Hand Eastern Africa’s operations in Kenya. The empirical findings presented in this qualitative study were collected through semi-structured interviews with managers working on both a local and nationwide level. Upon analyzing the findings, the authors found support in the argument that it is essential for an individual to be financially literate in order to obtain microfinancial services such as microcredit, microinsurance, and loans in kind. Although external forces in the form of social capital, social learning, and dynamic capabilities do not impact the access to microfinance directly, the empirical evidence indicated that an indirect influence on financial literacy exists. A myriad of previous academia has gravitated to emphasize the correlation between financial literacy and women empowerment rather than justifying the association through the examination of the underlying mechanisms. Hence, this thesis should provide valuable acumen about the elements of financial literacy and how they influence the microfinancial machinery as well as women’s socio-cultural and economic empowerment.

Direct-to-Consumer Advertising of Drugs and Patients' Health Care Seeking BehaviorsKennedy-Tucker, Patricia Elaine 01 January 2014 (has links)
Known as direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA), pharmaceutical companies in the United States are permitted to advertise prescription drugs directly to consumers. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if an association exists between DTCA and health care-seeking behaviors. The theoretical framework for this study involved social learning theory, information integration theory, and prospect theory. The research questions identified if exposure to DTCA (a) is associated with physician office visits, (b) influences a patient/physician conversation regarding a prescription, (c) influences requesting a prescription, and (d) has an impact on patients' ratings of the overall interaction with the physician. Data were derived from an online survey adapted from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Participants included 235 college-affiliated adults. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. The Bonferroni correction was used to control the family-wise Type I error rate. The most significant findings of this study are that DTCA is associated with patients asking more questions, having more office visits, and patients having a lower overall health status. Future researchers should consider a non-college-affiliated sample and the post-implementation impact of the Affordable Care Act. This study helps to address the community challenges of how DTCA impacts prescription drug use and costs, as well as patients' understanding of the associated risks. Having knowledge of the impact of DTCA can help patients and their communities, employers, and governments make more informed decisions that will positively impact their health, wellbeing, and prescription expenses.

Informationssäkerhet i kommunala förvaltningar : kultur, medvetenhet och ansvarHolmström, Anton, Barsk, Anton January 2019 (has links)
Information hanteras, lagras och används av alla typer av verksamheter i sambandmed digitaliseringens framfart. Information är en drivande resurs för verksamhetersom en viktig biståndsdel i affärsprocesser och därför finns ett behov att skydda den.Informationssäkerhet är inte bara en teknisk fråga utan påverkas av organisationskultur,anställdas säkerhetsmedvetenhet samt ledning och individ. Studien användersig av en abduktiv forskningsansats med en kvalitativ datainsamling. I studien intervjuadesnio anställda från olika kommunala förvaltningar för att undersöka hurarbetet med informationssäkerhet bedrivs. I analysen undersöker vi hur den nuvarandesituationen ställer sig mot teorier om hur ett effektivt säkerhetsarbete skabedrivas. I diskussionen belyser vi vikten av ledningens delaktighet i verksamhetensinformationssäkerhet och hur det påverkar det systematiska säkerhetsarbetet.Vi diskuterar även hur individens roll påverkar säkerhetsarbetets effektivitet. Studienvisar hur informationssäkerheten i kommunala förvaltningar inte ligger i fas medbehovet och pekar på vikten av individen samt ledningens ansvar i säkerhetsarbetet. / Information is handled, stored and used by all types of organisations in conjunctionwith the digitization. Information is an important business driver in the businessprocesses of most organisations therefore the protection of the information is crucial.Information security is not solely a technical question and therfore is affectedby the organisational culture, employees security awareness and the role of managementand individuals. The study uses a qualitative method for data collectionwith an abductive approach. In the study, we perform interviews with 9 differentemployees within different municipal administrations to examine how they workwith information security. In the analysis we investigate the correlation betweentheory and the existing situation. In the discussion we highlight the importance ofmanagement participation and the effects they have on information security, securityawareness and organisational culture. We also discuss the importance of theinvolvement of individuals in information security and how it affects its effectivness.The study shows the municiapals shortcomings within information security and theimportance of individuals and managements responsibility for an effective and secureorganisation.
