The relationship between the coping resources and psychological career resources of graduatesEsterhuizen, Kerith Ann 11 1900 (has links)
This study explored both the relationship between coping resources (as measured by the Coping Resources Inventory) and psychological career resources (as measured by the Psychological Career Resources Inventory) and also whether individuals from different gender and employment status groups (part-time work experience versus no work experience) differ significantly regarding their coping resources and psychological career resources. A cross-sectional survey design and quantitative statistical procedures were used to analyse the data which was obtained from a purposive non-probability sample of N = 197 early career unemployed, black graduates. The results showed significant positive associations between psychological career resources and coping resources. It also emerged that the male and female participants differed significantly with regard to their emotional, spiritual and physical coping resources and the psychological career resources of career harmonisers and career drivers. In addition, it was found that those participants who had part-time work experience displayed a significantly higher need for career venturing and also manifested higher behavioural adaptability than those who had no work experience. Recommendations for future research and practice were made. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)

Identifisering van maatskaplike werkers se behoeftes ten opsigte van die begeleidingsproses aan swanger tienerdogtersSantilli, Linda 11 1900 (has links)
Teenage pregnancies are currently a social problem in South Africa and in the
rest of the world. Social workers are involved with teenage girls by providing
guidance during their pregnancies and face many challenges by accepting this
role. The objective of this qualitative study was to identify and describe the
needs of social workers when guiding pregnant teenage girls. A conceptual
framework with the Gestalt approach as the theoretical framework for the study
was stated after which an empirical study took place. In-depth interviews took
place with nine social workers. Results were then verified in a focus group
discussion. From the empirical data themes and sub themes were identified and
verified with relevant literature. These themes and sub themes were then
interpreted through the Gestalt approach. Conclusions and recommendations
were made to social workers and interdisciplinary teams, which form part of the
network that are involved with pregnant teenage girls. / Thesis (M.Diac. (Spelterapie)

An analysis of the selection criteria and processes into basic nursing diploma programme in the Gauteng Province, South AfricaDuiker, Lerato Penelope 02 1900 (has links)
Background: This study derived from the concerns raised by nurse educators, clinical preceptors, and some nursing students in public nursing colleges in Gauteng following the implementation of the provincial selection criteria and processes. While these criteria could be seen as a means of standardising the admission into the Basic Nursing Diploma Programme at public nursing colleges, anecdotal reports from nurses in education institutions and clinical
practices indicated a lack of professionalism, high attrition rates among these cohorts of students. The researcher believed that any meaningful selection criteria and processes should be on the views expressed by people who have been through the process as students or educators.
Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the selection criteria and processes followed by nursing colleges in the Gauteng Province to admit students into Basic Nursing Diploma Programme with the view of proposing selection criteria and processes that would secure the admission of the best candidates to this programme in public nursing colleges in Gauteng Province.
Design: Quantitative descriptive survey design with self-completion
questionnaire was used to generate data for this study. Out of 571 questionnaires distributed, 492 were returned and considered for analysis. Summary descriptive statistics were performed using SPSS version 21.
Results: Four of the 13 items analysed were viewed by more than 70% of the respondents as less important and irrelevant to the selection of best candidates for nursing professional education. Proposal for changes supported by the rational for these changes were made by the respondents.
Conclusion and Recommendation: The study proposed a framework that could guide the provincial authority in developing admission criteria that will ensure the selection of best candidates for Basic Diploma Nursing Programme in the province. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)

Self-constructing a career : reflection following career adaptability as instructional scaffoldAlgra, Marlene 01 1900 (has links)
South African learners transitioning into the world of work are currently lacking
adequate career education in schools. It is well documented that preparedness for the
world of work sets learners in a locus of control.
The main aim of this case study was to interpret learners’ reflections of selfconstructing
a career with the psychosocial construct of career adaptability as an
instructional scaffold. The study leaned on the life design for career construction
theory, a combination of the career construction theory of Savickas, and the selfconstruction
theory of Guichard. I utilised interpretivism as a research paradigm and
a single case study design. Following purposeful convenience sampling, sixteen
Grade 11 learners in a South African public school participated in Phase 1: a workshop
comprising five sessions. Phase 2 consisted of a focus group interview with eight
learners selected from the original group on their level of contribution and commitment.
Data collection included group reflection, reflective writing, observation, researcher
reflective field notes, and a focus group interview.
Six themes emerged from the thematic analysis of the data. Learners successfully
initiated career planning activities by reflecting on the career adaptability construct.
The research results suggest a need for an alternative approach in the manner career
education is presented in schools. This study hopes to provide insight into career selfconstruction
initiatives learners employ when using the career adaptability construct
as an instructional scaffold. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)

High school learners' perceptions of accounting as a career path in the Mafikeng areaOben, James Ako 02 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English, Afrikaans and Setswana / The study was prompted by the decline in accounting enrolments and the ongoing
criticism due to learners’ poor performance in the Accounting subject in South Africa.
Given the increasing need for accounting graduates and, more importantly, qualified
accounting professionals, this study investigated the preconceived perceptions
participating high school learners in selected schools in the Mafikeng area had about
the accounting profession at the time of this study.
The study drew on a rich body of existing literature and adopted the social cognitive
career theory of Lent, Brown and Hackett (1994) to explore the factors influencing
career interests of learners in accounting as a career path. A quantitative research
approach with a survey questionnaire, framed within a positivist paradigm, was used
to elicit opinions from learners. The findings revealed that work satisfaction, earnings
potential, self-efficacy, personal interest, offering Accounting as a subject and having
an accountant in the family are among the factors that significantly influenced
participating learners’ career interests in accounting / Die studie is aangespoor deur die afname in rekeningkunde-inskrywings en die
deurlopende kritiek van leerders se swak prestasie in rekeningkunde in Suid-Afrika.
Gegewe die toenemende behoefte vir rekeningkundegegradueerdes en, meer
belangrik, gekwalifiseerde rekeningkundepraktisyns, ondersoek hierdie studie die
huidige vooropgestelde persepsies wat hoërskoolleerders in Suid-Afrika van die
rekeningkundige beroep het.
Die studie benut die omvattende bestaande literatuur en aanvaar die sosiaal
kognitiewe loopbaanteorie van Lent, Brown en Hackett (1994) om die faktore te
ondersoek wat die belangstelling van leerders in rekeningkunde as 'n loopbaanrigting
beïnvloed. 'n Kwantitatiewe navorsingsbenadering met 'n opnamevraelys, binne 'n
positivistiese paradigma, is gebruik om menings van leerders te ontlok. Die bevindings
het gewys dat werksbevrediging, verdienstepotensiaal, selfwerksaamheid, persoonlike
belang, die aanbied van rekeningkunde as 'n vak en 'n rekeningkundige in die gesin
van die faktore is wat leerders se loopbaanbelangstelling in rekeningkunde beduidend
beïnvloed. / Thutopatlisiso e tlhotlheleditswe ke kwelotlase ya ikwadiso ya dithuto tsa Palotlotlo le
