No. of bitstreams: 1 CARLA CAZELATO FERRARI.pdf: 1555205 bytes, checksum: 426acaa6a992ebb9833cb12841171dba (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-05-12 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This study aims to investigate and analyze the composition of groups of deaf students, at a certain time, began to systematically gather in public places, identifying the one hand, the social determinants that contributed to the formation of groups of deaf and on the other social activities inside the daily meetings and, from them, expressions of their social practices. For this investigation, were then selected three groups of deaf people in public places of the city of São Paulo, two in shopping centers and a third in a bakery. Data collection was performed by means of a Protocol Data Collection as a basic procedure, and observations, as a subsidiary of the information gathered by the Protocol. To guide the organization and analysis of collected data, were used as a theoretical base, the contributions of Bourdieu (1971, 1989, 1991, 1997, Bourdieu & Passeron, 1982), especially the concepts of cultural capital and social capital. In the field of special education, was chosen series of studies developed by authors such as Bueno (1998, 1999, 2001, 2007), Soares (2005, 2006), Mendonca (2007), among others, who consider deafness as mark a distinct biological, without disregarding the other brands (psychological, social, economic, etc..) determinants for the construction of a social subject. It was found, using data collected, the group of deaf Shopping Metro Santa Cruz, for example, could not be classified as unique, as are four groups that meet the same public place, but have clear distinctions in their composition, determined by age, sex, social status and current status, which result in social relations and interactions differentiated. It was concluded that members of the six groups surveyed are young adults and elderly deaf people who use mainly sign language, social origin which refers to the lower layers of the population with low education and from classes and special schools aspects that influence the genesis of such groups / Este estudo tem por objetivo investigar e analisar a composição de agrupamentos de surdos que, a partir de determinado momento, passaram a se reunir sistematicamente em locais públicos, identificando, de um lado, os determinantes sociais que contribuíram para a formação dos agrupamentos de surdos e, de outro, as atividades sociais privilegiadas no cotidiano dos encontros e, a partir deles, expressões de suas práticas sociais. Para esta investigação, foram, então, selecionados três agrupamentos de surdos, situados em locais públicos da cidade de São Paulo: dois em shopping centers e um terceiro em uma padaria. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um Protocolo de Coleta de Dados como procedimento básico, e de observações, como elemento subsidiário das informações colhidas pelo Protocolo. Para nortear a organização e análise dos dados coletados, foram utilizadas, como referencial teórico básico, as contribuições de Bourdieu (1971, 1989, 1991, 1997, Bourdieu & Passeron, 1982), especialmente, os conceitos de capital cultural e capital social. No campo da educação especial, optou-se pela vertente de estudos desenvolvida por autores, como Bueno (1998, 1999, 2001, 2007), Soares (2005, 2006), Mendonça, (2007), entre outros, que entendem a surdez como uma marca biológica distinta, sem desconsiderar as outras marcas (psicológicas, sociais, econômicas, etc.) determinantes para a construção do sujeito social. Constatou-se, por meio dos dados coletados, que o agrupamento dos surdos do Shopping Metrô Santa Cruz, por exemplo, não poderia ser classificado como único, pois são quatro grupos que se reúnem no mesmo local público, mas que apresentam distinções evidentes da sua composição, determinadas pela idade, sexo, posição social atual e estado civil, que redundam em relações e interações sociais diferenciadas. Concluiu-se que os membros dos seis agrupamentos pesquisados são jovens, adultos e idosos surdos, que usam preponderantemente a língua de sinais, cuja origem social remete às camadas mais baixas da população, com baixo nível de escolarização e provenientes de classes e escolas especiais aspectos que influenciaram na gênese desses agrupamentos

The justification for this study is due to the significant increase of chronic illness of teachers in conducting class and associated with this, the numerical growth of teachers readjusted in the school context. Goals. To investigate social representations in interaction with social identity of teachers readjusted by teacher’s regents, managers and teachers refitted in the school context of the secretariat of State of Education of the Federal District – SEDF. Method. A research of qualiquantitativa character was carried out, with the purpose of examining the social representations of faculty readjusted by the teachers Regents, school managers and teachers readjusted in the school context and to verify the changes in Professional identity of readjusted faculty. The number of participants in the survey corresponded to (n = 400) sampled subjects of convenience, subdivided into 03 (three) groups, i.e. (n = 240) Faculty Regents of Children's school, fundamental, medium and technical, (n = 80) School Managers of Schools of education, elementary, medium and technical and (n = 80) Teachers readapted in acting in the schools of elementary, elementary, middle and technical education of all regional teaching of the Secretariat of State of Education of the Federal district. The technique of the free evocations of the Central core theory of Fabric (1994), was chosen as an instrument for obtaining the content and access to the internal structure of the social representations of the teachers Regents, school managers and teachers refitted in Relation to the social representations of faculty refitted in the school context. The materials that were used for the construction of the research data are: consent term free and clarified-fics; Printed form, structured, with identification of the participants of the survey, containing the spaces for the words or expressions for the numbering corresponding to the order of the Evocations performed. Analysis of the data. For the analysis and interpretations of the information data of the evocations obtained, as well as, to enable the process of production of knowledge, was used in this research the software EVOC-Ensemble of programmes permettant l Analisyse des evocations. Final considerations. the results demonstrate and confirm the hypothesis that the "professional identity of readjusted faculty" is situated in the "identity of the situation", portrayed by Dubar (2006), as being a form of professional identity shared By a group in need of "collective memory" and stigmatized by the sharing of a devalued condition, that is, it arises from the rupture of professional identity of teacher in conducting class, coming from the set of malaises, the process of Precarious of the teaching work and the teaching illness, culminating with the functional readjustment and the change of place of performance in the school context. / Introdução. A justificativa desse estudo se dá em função do aumento significativo de adoecimento crônico de docentes em regência de classe e associado a isso, o crescimento numérico de docentes readaptados no contexto escolar. Objetivos. Investigar as representações sociais em interação com identidade social de docentes readaptados por parte de docentes regentes, gestores e docentes readaptados no contexto escolar da Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Distrito Federal – SEDF. Método. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de caráter qualiquantitativa, com o propósito de se examinar as representações sociais de docente readaptado por parte de docentes regentes, gestores escolares e docentes readaptados no contexto escolar e verificar as alterações na identidade profissional dos docentes readaptados. O número de participantes da pesquisa correspondeu a (n=400) sujeitos amostrais de conveniência, subdivididos em 03 (três) grupos, isto é, (n=240) docentes regentes de escolas do ensino infantil, fundamental, médio e técnico, (n=80) gestores escolares de escolas do ensino infantil, fundamental, médio e técnico e (n=80) docentes readaptados em atuação nas escolas do ensino infantil, fundamental, médio e técnico de todas as regionais de ensino da Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Distrito Federal. A Técnica das Evocações Livres da Teoria do Núcleo Central de Abric (1994), foi escolhida como instrumento para a obtenção do conteúdo e o acesso à estrutura interna das representações sociais dos docentes regentes, gestores escolar e docentes readaptados em relação as representações sociais de docente readaptado no contexto escolar. Os materiais que foram utilizados para a construção dos dados da pesquisa são: Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido - TCLE; Formulário impresso, estruturado, com identificação dos participantes da pesquisa, contendo os espaços para as palavras ou expressões para a numeração correspondente à ordem das evocações realizadas. Análises dos Dados. Para a análise e interpretações dos dados das informações das evocações obtidas, bem como, viabilizar o processo de produção do conhecimento, foi utilizado nessa pesquisa o software EVOC – Ensemble de programmes permettant l analisyse des evocations. Considerações Finais. Os resultados demonstram e confirmam a hipótese de que a “identidade profissional de docente readaptado” está situada na “identidade de situação”, retratada por Dubar (2006), como sendo uma forma de identidade profissional compartilhada por um grupo necessitado de “memória coletiva” e estigmatizado pela partilha de uma condição desvalorizada, ou seja, ela surge a partir da ruptura da identidade profissional de docente em regência de classe, proveniente do conjunto de mal-estares, do processo de precarização do trabalho docente e do adoecimento docente, culminando com a readaptação funcional e a mudança de lugar de atuação no contexto escolar.

A lógica nas escolhas dos mecanismos de governança: a influência da identidade social / The logic in the choice of the mechanisms of governance: the influence of social identity

Caroline Foscaches de Oliveira Quevedo 20 January 2017 (has links)
A Economia dos Custos de Transação (ECT) é uma das abordagens da Nova Economia Institucional (NEI); a ECT é vista como uma das principais teorias referentes aos limites das firmas, discussão que começou a ser desenvolvida a partir do trabalho de Ronald Coase, de 1937. Apesar da importância e das contribuições da NEI e da ECT para o desenvolvimento da teoria das organizações, algumas críticas têm sido feitas a elas, particularmente no que diz respeito ao tratamento da questão social. Dentre as críticas, destaca-se a de Granovetter (1985), para quem a NEI reforça a visão econômica de subsocialização do indivíduo, considerando-o, assim, fora de um contexto social, isto é, o indivíduo atua de forma atomizada. Williamson (2000) cita a necessidade da NEI se atentar para o nível do enraizamento social. Na mesma linha, Van de Ven e Lifschitz (2013) criticam a pouca atenção dada pela ECT para esse contexto. Nesse sentido, um conceito que tem ganhado espaço tanto no campo social como no organizacional é o conceito de identidade social, fazendo com que alguns autores passem a considerar esse fator em suas análises, inclusive dentro da ECT. Apesar de ser possível verificar esse avanço, o mesmo ainda é incipiente. Dessa forma, este trabalho tem como objetivo aprofundar essa temática dentro da área de economia das organizações, buscando analisar qual a influência da identidade social sobre a escolha dos mecanismos de governança. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa quantitativa em um assentamento de reforma agrária. Esse objeto de pesquisa se mostrou interessante, uma vez que os produtores pertencentes a esse assentamento entregam sua produção por meio de mecanismos de governança distintos, apesar de ser possível observar semelhanças nas características transacionais do meio; além disso, no assentamento, pode-se verificar que o contexto social exerce importância para determinadas decisões. Para coletar os dados, foram realizadas entrevistas, por meio de um questionário semiestruturado, junto aos produtores. No assentamento em análise, vivem cerca de 410 famílias, sendo que a amostra foi de 109 famílias/produtores. A análise dos resultados se deu por meio de uma regressão logística. Por meio da análise, pôde-se verificar que as formas híbridas prevalecem, com destaque para os contratos relacionais junto a atravessadores. Destaca-se também o uso da forma de governança híbrida incentivada pelo grupo, no caso, via cooperativas do assentamento; foi constatado que a identidade social influencia positivamente tanto no uso como no favorecimento de formas cooperativas para a venda dos produtos produzidos pelos assentados, o que indica que esse aspecto influencia e deve ser levado em consideração na decisão do mecanismo de governança, especificamente em ambientes cujo aspecto social e grupal esteja enraizado no cotidiano dos indivíduos. / Transaction Costs Economics (TCE) is an approach of the New Institutional Economics (NIE). TCE is seen as one of the most important theories regarding boundaries of firms, and discussions started with the paper from Ronald Coase, in 1937. Despite the importance and contributions of NIE and TCE to the development of the theories of firms, some have been critical of them, particularly concerning the treatment of social issues. Granovetter stands out among the critics, and according to Granovetter (1985), the NIE reinforces the economic vision of sub-socialization of the individual, considering it out of a social context, that is, that individuals act in an atomized way. Williamson (2000) mentions the necessity of paying attention to the embedded level; similarly, Van de Ven and Lifchitz (2013) criticize the little attention given to the social context by the TCE. Social identity is a concept that recognizes the social and organizational areas, and some authors consider this factor in their analysis, including the TCE. Although this is advanced, it is still developing. Thus, this project aims to deepen this theme within economics of the organization area, and tries to analyze the influence of social identity on the choice of the mechanisms of governance. To accomplish this, a quantitative research in a settlement of land reform was conducted. The objective of the research is interesting due to the producers belonging to the settlement deliver their production through different mechanisms of governance, although it is possible to note similarities in the characteristics of the transactions. Furthermore, in the settlement, it is possible to verify that social context has importance for some decisions. To collect the data, interviews were conducted through a semi-structured questionnaire. In the settlement, there are 410 families; the sample was composed of 109 families/producers and the results were found through a logistic regression. Through the analysis, it was possible to verify that hybrid forms prevail, especially relational contracts with brokers. I also highlight the use of hybrid form of governance encouraged by the group, in this case, transactions via cooperatives; it was found that social identity positively influences both the use and the fostering of cooperatives forms to the selling of products from settlers, indicating that this aspect is influential and must be considered in the decision of mechanism of governance in environments, specifically where the social and group aspects are embedded in the daily lives of individuals.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Marineide de Oliveira Aranha Neto.pdf: 1722105 bytes, checksum: 4ba820b3658fe87ddc32e16f484a68ef (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-11-17 / ProUni is a Brazilian federal public policy and since it was institutionalized in January 2005, has awarded full and partial scholarships for low-income students in private institutions of higher education. Having the program as object of study, the aim of this study was to understand the dynamics of inclusion and / or exclusion of the ProUni fellow in the academic space. Specifically we sought to (a) understand the socioeconomic conditions of prounista student; (b) investigate the existence of stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination in the inclusion / exclusion of prounistas students; (c) check the dimensions of diversity in which prounistas students recognize and are recognized; (d) identify the strategies used by these students to be included in the group; (e) verify the perceptions of teachers about this dynamic inclusion / exclusion and (f) analyze the role of teachers along with the prounistas students. A basic interpretive qualitative descriptive research, and as research subject twelve ProUni fellows, six non-prounistas students and four professors of law from the same university in the city of São Paulo was held. We opted for the use of semi-structured interviews and the method of content analysis, the qualitative perspective, as proposed by Bardin (2007). From analysis of the interviews revealed ten categories: (1) Importance and impact of ProUni and IES; (2) Who are they; (3) who they say they are; (4) Barriers of the way; (5) interpersonal relations; (6) Us and Them; (7) Demonstrations intergroup; (8) Experience of inclusion (9) Experience of exclusion and (10) Teacher - an agent. According to the perceived dissimilarities, these prounistas students become victims of prejudice and discrimination, manifest especially when the formation of working groups. The results indicated that the occurrence of unfavorable behavior to a feeling of inclusion by non-prounistas students are more common than manifestations of inclusive behaviors. The self-inclusion has been a strategy of inclusion adopted by prounistas students, and the personal characteristics important factor for perception of belonging to the group. Through superior performance, these students can excel yourself, achieve positions of prestige, mobility and social inclusion. / O ProUni é uma política pública federal e desde que foi institucionalizado, em janeiro de 2005, tem concedido bolsas de estudos integrais e parciais para estudantes de baixa renda em instituições privadas de ensino superior. Tendo o Programa como objeto de estudo, o objetivo geral deste trabalho foi o de compreender a dinâmica de inclusão e/ou exclusão do bolsista ProUni no espaço acadêmico. De modo específicos buscou-se (a) entender as condições socioeconômicas do aluno prounista; (b) investigar a existência de estereótipos, preconceitos e discriminação na inclusão/exclusão dos alunos prounistas; (c) verificar as dimensões de diversidade nas quais os alunos prounistas se reconhecem e são reconhecidos; (d) identificar as estratégias utilizadas por esses alunos para serem inseridos no grupo; (e) verificar as percepções do professor acerca dessa dinâmica de inclusão/exclusão e (f) analisar o papel dos professores junto aos alunos prounistas. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa interpretativa básica do tipo descritiva, tendo como sujeitos de pesquisa doze alunos bolsistas do ProUni, seis alunos não prounistas e quatro professores do curso de Direito de uma mesma universidade da cidade de São Paulo. Optou-se pela utilização de entrevistas semiestruturadas e pelo método de análise de conteúdo, sob a perspectiva qualitativa, conforme proposto por Bardin (2007). A partir análise das entrevistas emergiram dez categorias: (1) Importância e impacto do ProUni e da IES; (2) Quem são eles; (3) Quem eles dizem que são; (4) Obstáculos do caminho; (5) Relações interpessoais; (6) Nós e Eles; (7) Manifestações intergrupais; (8) Experiência de inclusão, (9) Experiência de exclusão e (10) Professor um agente. Em função das dissimilaridades percebidas, esses alunos prounistas tornam-se vítimas de preconceito e discriminação, manifestos principalmente quando da formação de grupos de trabalho. Os resultados indicaram que as ocorrências de comportamentos desfavoráveis a um sentimento de inclusão por parte dos alunos não prounistas são mais comuns do que manifestações de comportamentos inclusivos. A autoinclusão tem sido uma estratégia de inclusão adotada pelos alunos prounistas, sendo as características pessoais fatores importantes para percepção de pertencimento ao grupo. Por meio do desempenho superior, esses alunos conseguem destacarem-se, alcançar posições de prestígio, mobilidade e inclusão social.

PERCEPTIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CONTINUITY: SCALE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ORGANIZATIONAL OUTCOMES

Gomez-Canul, Gabino A 01 June 2016 (has links)
The following study examines the impact that perceptions of organizational continuity (POC) have on organizational identification (OI) and organizational outcomes, including organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) and turnover intentions. It was proposed that POC would be an important factor in determining OI, OCBs, and turnover intentions. In order to test this proposition, a scale was developed that measured an individual’s POC within their organization with regards to the organization’s culture and history. A survey was distributed among working individuals that contained the new measure of POC and other established measures of an organization’s culture and values. The sample consisted of 394 participants. The results showed that the construct of POC consisted of perceiving the organization’s culture and values as continuous over time. Additionally, the measure predicted OCBs and turnover intentions. POC did not, however, predict these outcomes over and above OI. Mediation analyses showed that OI mediated the relationship between POC and OCBs/turnover, thus, providing evidence to show that POC is a contributing factor in the development of an individual’s identification with an organization. This investigation extends research in the area of OI from the social identity perspective by providing the basis for understanding and measuring one of the components that leads to identification with an organization.

How a merger in the operational combination stage affects employee motivation : A quantitative case study of a Swedish professional service firm

Orre, Henrik, Malmström, Martin January 2010 (has links)
<p>This paper aims to examine how employee motivation is affected during the operational combination stage of a merger between two relatively small Swedish professional service firms. This is done through a quantitative study conducted by examining the relationship between employee motivation and three approaches; social identity, role conflict and acculturation. Those approaches were first by themselves tested in order to examine the relationship between their respective indicators that represent respective approach. The main result of this study is that the three approaches have a positive significant impact on employee motivation. Therefore, it is important for the professional service firm to take those variables into consideration when formulating future strategies and when trying to improve the organizational climate.</p>

Risk and Rationality : Effects of contextual risk and cognitive dissonance on (sexual) incentives

Mannberg, Andréa January 2010 (has links)
Paper [I] theoretically analyzes how the level and uncertainty of future prospects affect incentives to abstain from sexual risk taking in the presence of HIV. The results suggest that, for individuals with limited access to HIV treatment, uncertainty of future health may be an important factor driving unsafe sex practices and support the empirical finding of a weak link between sexual behavior, HIV prevalence, and HIV knowledge in poor countries; therefore suggesting that AIDS policy needs to be calibrated in order to fit within different social contexts. Paper [II] empirically tests the link between uncertainty of future prospects and sexual risk taking in a group of young adults in Cape Town, South Africa. The findings indicate that expected income and health and future uncertainty are significant determinants of current patterns of sexual risk taking. However, the empirical results only provide limited support to a link between expected health and sexual risk taking. Paper [III] theoretically analyzes effects of affect and defensive denial on incentives to engage in sexual risk taking related to HIV. The results of the theoretical analysis suggest that the effect of rationalization of personal risk depends on the risk of being HIV positive. Although rationalization causes excessive risk taking behavior for individuals with a relatively low lifetime risk, it may prevent fatalism among individuals whose lifetime risk of HIV is perceived as overwhelming. Paper [IV] theoretically analyzes the role of identity conflict for the evolution of female labor supply over time. The results suggest the fear of becoming an outsider in society may have prevented a complete transition of women from housewives to breadwinners. In addition, our analysis shows that not recognizing that the weights attached to different social identities are endogenous may imply that the long-run effects on labor supply of a higher wage may be underestimated.

Revisorns icke finansiella beroende : en experimentell undersökning av klientidentifikation

Kuchak, Barwin, Petrovic, Vanja January 2013 (has links)
Studiens syfte har varit att förklara i vilken utsträckning icke-finansiellt beroende hos revisorer kan uppstå genom revisorernas identifikation med klienter samt undersöka dess effekter på revisorns oberoende och objektivitet. Vidare har vi försökt undersöka hur klientidentifikationen kan påverkas av professionell identifiering och revisorsrotation. Således har vår problemformulering varit ”Hur identifierar revisorerna sig med sina klienter hur detta påverkar revisorns objektivitet? Hur påverkas klientidentifikationen av revisorns profession? Hur kan revisorsrotationen bidra till en minskning av identifikationen med klienten? ”.Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom en elektronisk enkätundersökning som skickades ut till 1200 godkända och auktoriserade revisorer i Sverige. Bortfallet blev 87 %, den bakomliggande anledningen kan vara att enkäten skickades ut i samband med alla deklarationer. Vidare har den insamlade materialet bearbetats och analyserats i statistikprogrammet (SPSS) med hjälp av olika analysmodeller.Studiens resultat visar att svenska revisorer identifierar sig med sina klienter och att denna identifikation uppstår på grund av den sociala relationen mellan revisorn och klienten. Det icke-finansiella beroendet som uppstår genom identifikationen med klienter visar dock ingen påverkan på revisorns objektiva bedömning, vilket tyder på att revisorn oavsett klientens önskemål gör en korrekt bedömning vid en redovisningstvist. Vidare visar denna studie att48identifikationen med professionen leder till ökad identifikation med klienten. Detta har sin grund i den sociala identitetsteori som antyder att individer kan identifiera sig med olika sociala grupper samtidigt och att den ena identifikationen inte behöver utesluta den andra. Slutligen har vi visat att revisorsrotationen inte kan bidra till en minskning av identifikationen med klienten. Tidigare forskning visar nackdelar med revisorsrotationen, så som merkostnader och förlorad förkunskap, vilket indikerar i att rotera revisorn var sjunde år är ingen korrekt lösning som kan gynna både parterna. / The purpose of this study was to explain the extent to which non-financial dependence of auditors may arise from auditors' identification with clients and examine its effects on the auditor's independence and objectivity. Furthermore, we have attempted to examine how the client identifier can be influenced by professional identification and auditor rotation. Thus, our problem was "how auditors identify themselves with their clients how this affects the auditor's objectivity? How is the client identifier of the auditor's profession? How can the auditor rotation contribute to a decrease in identification with the client? ".The empirical data were collected through an electronic survey sent to 1200 approved and certified public accountants in Sweden. The loss was 87%, the underlying reason may be that the questionnaire was sent out in all declarations. Furthermore, the collected material processed and analyzed in the statistical program (SPSS) using various analytical models.Our results demonstrate that Swedish auditors identify with their clients and that this identification occurs due to the social relationship between the auditor and the client. The non-financial dependency arising from identification with clients, however, shows no effect on the auditor's objective assessment, which indicates that the auditor whether the client wishes make an accurate assessment of an accounting dispute. Furthermore, this study shows that the identification with profession leads to increased identification with the client. This is due to the social identity theory suggests that individuals may identify with different social groups at the same time and that one identification need not exclude the other. Finally, we have shown that auditor rotation can‟t contribute to a decrease in identification with the client. Previous research shows the disadvantages of auditor rotation, so that additional costs and loss of entry, indicating that rotate auditors every seven years is not a proper solution that can benefit both parties.
