Validation of a Test Battery for the Selection of Driver Managers in a Trucking Organization

Cassel, Shirley T. (Shirley Tamsen) 05 1900 (has links)
This study was a concurrent validation of a paper and pencil test battery used at a national trucking company. Forty-eight driver managers were rated by their immediate supervisors with the performance appraisal covering 12 dimensions of job behavior that was developed by the experimenter. The driver managers were also administered the Wesman Personnel Classification Test, the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal, and the California Psychological Inventory (CPI). A biographical information blank was also developed and validated. Most validity correlations were nonsignificant, with the exception of the Dominance scale r = .25 (p < .05), the Self-control scale r = -.25 (p < .05), the Communanlity scale r = .29 (p < .05), and the Flexibility scale r = -.39 (p < .05), with overall performance.

Mulheres motoristas de caminhão: realidades, estereótipos e desafios / Work and health: perspectives of male and female truck drivers

Luna Gonçalves da Silva 04 April 2016 (has links)
Introdução A presença de mulheres no transporte rodoviário de cargas tem sido cada vez mais crescente e as repercussões do trabalho na vida das motoristas de caminhão ainda são desconhecidas pela comunidade científica. Objetivo - Caracterizar e analisar o trabalho de mulheres motoristas de caminhão e suas repercussões sobre sua saúde, a partir do relato de homens e mulheres motoristas de caminhão. Metodologia - O estudo com abordagem qualitativa utilizou a técnica do grupo focal, entrevistas individuais e observação não participante. Os grupos focais foram realizados em uma empresa transportadora localizada no estado de São Paulo e as entrevistas individuais em evento realizado na cidade de Itupeva/SP. Em oito encontros, grupos de motoristas de caminhão, discutiram a temática trabalho e saúde conduzida por meio de questões semiabertas. As mesmas questões foram utilizadas para as entrevistas individuais. Os relatos foram gravados, sendo o conteúdo das gravações transcrito e analisado por meio da metodologia Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin. A partir dos dados obtidos, construíram-se as seguintes categorias: A trajetória profissional de motoristas de caminhão; As mulheres no Transporte Rodoviário de Cargas; O trabalho; Um momento inesquecível na profissão e A saúde das mulheres motoristas na estrada. Resultados Tornar-se motorista de caminhão, para a maioria das mulheres, ocorreu por acaso, ou devido à uma necessidade financeira, ou a falta de perspectiva de emprego. Para as mulheres no Transporte Rodoviário de Cargas, o cotidiano de trabalho das profissionais está atravessado por aspectos como: a força física; dúvidas e preconceitos quanto à sua orientação sexual; o desafio em conciliar a vida dentro e fora do caminhão; conflitos na vida conjugal decorrentes da vida profissional; a discriminação sexual e a necessidade do reconhecimento no trabalho, bem como a falta de infraestrutura dedicada às trabalhadoras nas empresas e postos de parada nas rodovias brasileiras. O momento inesquecível nesta profissão, considerado por homens e mulheres, foi a primeira viagem. Os impactos do trabalho sobre a saúde das trabalhadoras recaíram sobre dores lombares e na coluna; problemas relacionados ao sono; necessidade de recorrer ao uso de drogas como anfetaminas e cocaína para manterem-se acordadas durante o trabalho; estresse; infecção urinária e uso ininterrupto de anticoncepcionais. Conclusões - A inserção das mulheres no transporte rodoviário de cargas desafia empresas e a infraestrutura existente nas rodovias do país a acompanharem as transformações sociais no mundo do trabalho, incluindo as demandas de um novo perfil de trabalhadoras. Descritores: trabalho, gênero, saúde, motoristas de caminhão. / Background - Women in the trucking freight has been increasingly growing and the implications of work on her lives are still unknown by the scientific community. Aim - To characterize and analyze the nature of work among truck drivers women and its impact on their health, based on the report of men and women truck drivers. Methods - The qualitative approach of this study has used the technique of focus groups, individual interviews and non-participant observation. The focus groups and the individual interviews were conducted at a transportation company, and in an event, respectively, at an event, both in São Paulo state. In eight meetings, truck drivers groups, discussed the theme \"Work and Health\" conducted through a semi-structured questions. The same questions was used for individual interviews. The reports were recorded, and their contents analyzed using Bardin\'s methodology. From the data obtained, we constructed the following categories: \"The professional career of truck drivers\"; \"Women in load road transport\"; \"The work\"; \"An unforgettable moment in the profession\" and \"Womens drivers health on the roads\" Results - Become a truck driver, for most women, happened \"by chance\", or because of financial need, or lack of employment perspective. For women in load road transport, the daily work is crossed by aspects such as physical strength; doubts and prejudices about their sexual orientation; the challenge of reconciling the life on and off the truck; conflicts in married life arising from professional life; sex discrimination and the need to recognize the work and the lack of infrastructure dedicated to working in companies and stop stations on Brazilian highways. The unforgettable moment in this profession, considered by men and women, was the first. The workers reported back pain and spine; sleep-related problems; need to use drugs such as amphetamines and cocaine to keep themselves awake at work; stress; urinary tract infection and uninterrupted use of contraceptives. Conclusions - The participation of women in the trucking loads challenges carriers and the entire existing infrastructure in the country\'s highways to monitor social changes in the world of work, including the demands of a new job profile.

The death of the big rig cowboy culture / Title of accompanying DVD: Truckin' : the death of the big rig cowboy culture

Belsaas, Matthew W. January 2007 (has links)
This creative project documents the effects of deregulation on the trucking industry. Through the use of DVD, the viewer learns all about the culture of trucking and the way it has changed in the past 30 years since deregulation. In August of 2006, I logged over 4,000 miles speaking with four different drivers. The result is a DVD consisting of a documentary, video short stories, photo journals, audio recordings and a flash card game, teaching the viewer about the trucking culture. / Department of Telecommunications
