Public school principal selection by Indiana public school superintendents

Dillon, William D. January 1995 (has links)
This study was suggested by the need to examine the role of Indiana superintendents in candidate selection, the recruitment and selection procedures used in principal selection and the prioritization of criteria used to evaluate the candidacy of individuals for the principalship with respect to Indiana public elementary and secondary schools. A three-part questionnaire was sent to each of 296 superintendents in Indiana requesting a ranking of superintendent functions in selection, candidate determination procedures, and criteria prioritization. Demographic variables were included to determine if superintendents' prior experiences or sizes of districts represented affected decisions about principal selection. A total of 191 responses were analyzed in terms of descriptive statistics and statistically significant differences among demographic groupings. The following null hypothesis was analyzed in terms of five demographic categories: "There are no significant differences among superintendents' ratings of the important selection criteria or desired principal competencies or characteristics on the basis of any of the following categories." Five categories were analyzed. 1. Whether hiring for an elementary principalship or a secondary principalship. 2. Size of district from which responding superintendent reported. 3. Number of principals hired as superintendent. 4. Number of years as superintendent. 5. Number of years as principal (if any). Although statistically significant differences were found, none was determined to represent an important difference among these categories. Candidate competencies considered most important by responding superintendents were the following: "Ability to listen effectively to others," "Ability to communicate effectively with others, and "Ability to work cooperatively with a variety of other people and groups."The data supported communications and "people skills" for principal candidates, and the importance of proven administrative experiences. The data also supported an interest by responding superintendents in controlling the principal selection process. / Department of Educational Administration and Supervision

Trabalhadores em construção = mercado de trabalho, redes sociais e qualificações na construção civil / Workers in construction : labour market, social networks and qualifications in the construction sector

Costa, Luciano Rodrigues 15 August 2018 (has links)
Orientador: Thomas Patrick Dwyer / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Filosofia e Ciencias Humanas / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-15T21:17:20Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Costa_LucianoRodrigues_D.pdf: 2083785 bytes, checksum: 07fdf0a1ad4bcc37f5391acf3a1bfb48 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / Resumo: A pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a natureza das qualificações profissionais, as redes sociais e o mercado de trabalho no setor da Construção Civil, mais especificamente, no subsetor Edificações Habitacionais. Partimos do pressuposto de que o setor é portador de uma especificidade no que diz respeito ao processo de trabalho, marcado por contingências que induzem a uma grande variabilidade, flexibilidade e, sobretudo, a uma descontinuidade do processo produtivo, o que traz como conseqüência uma elevada instabilidade. Tais especificidades se articulam e se alimentam de fluxos particularmente complexos e instáveis de mão-de-obra, as quais se caracterizam por uma lógica de extrema flexibilidade. Levantamos a hipótese de que a execução de trabalho no setor possui uma forte dependência dos saberes de ofício, o que Induz certa autonomia do trabalhador. Tal fato faz com que o setor, visando a uma gestão eficiente e a um controle eficaz sobre o processo de trabalho, desenvolva, paralelamente aos mecanismos institucionalizados do mercado, proteções informais para o estabelecimento de relações de lealdade e de confiança com os trabalhadores. A partir de pesquisas etnográficas de dois canteiros de obras no Brasil e um na França, em uma perspectiva comparativa destacamos: a sociabilidade dos trabalhadores, as formas dos contratos, as redes sociais informais e o cotidiano dos trabalhos. As redes sociais informais se estruturam através de fortes laços de solidariedade nos quais se destacam as relações familiares, as de vizinhança, as de etnia no caso francês, as de identificação comunal (mesma cidade de origem), as de identificação religiosa, enfim, são laços fortes que visam a minimizar os efeitos da enorme vulnerabilidade a que estão submetidos os trabalhadores. Demonstramos que o desenvolvimento dos trabalhos na Construção Civil, subsetor edificações é garantido a partir de estratégias que misturam vínculos pessoais, paternalismo, pagamento por produção em um contexto de transformação vivenciado pelo setor. As relações paternalistas expressam-se tanto nas formas de recrutamento, via redes sociais informais, quanto no processo de aprendizagem e nas remunerações por produtividade. Constatamos também que o processo de racionalização de um dos canteiros, apesar de percebido como positivo pelos trabalhadores, apresenta dificuldades em sua aplicabilidade técnica, fazendo com que a gestão dos trabalhos apresente ainda características similares aos dos canteiros artesanais. Analisamos, por fim, as relações sociais envolvidas no processo de aprendizagem dos ofícios do setor. A partir das observações constatadas em campo, mostramos as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos trabalhadores na aprendizagem e no processo de reconhecimento dos saberes de ofício / Abstract: This thesis aims to analyse the nature of professional qualifications, networks and labour market in the Construction industry and, more specifically in its housing sub-sector. We start with the assumption that the sector has a certain specificity in relation to its work processes, work is marked by contingencies which induce a large degree of variety, flexibility and above all discontinuity in the productive process, one of the consequences of which is instability. These specificities articulate and feed on particularly complex and unstable flows of personnel which are characterised by a logic of extreme flexibility. We formulate the hypothesis that the execution of work in the sector depends greatly on the knowledge of the trade in question, and this produces a degree of autonomy for the workers. This means that the sector, in the search for efficient management and efficacious control of the work process, develops, in parallel with institutionalised market mechanisms, informal protections through the establishment of relations of loyalty and confidence with the workers. On the basis of ethnographic research in two Brazilian and one French construction site, conducted within a comparative perspective, we pay special attention to: the workers' sociability, the forms of contracts, informal social networks and the day-to-day lives of workers. The informal social networks structure themselves through strong links of solidarity in which family, neighbourhood, and (particularly in France) ethnic relations play important roles, to which we add originating from the same city or having the same religion. In other words, strong links serve to minimise the high levels of vulnerability faced by these workers. We demonstrate that the execution of work in the construction industry, and particularly in the housing sub-sector, is guaranteed by strategies which mix personal relations, paternalism, piece working systems in the context of transformation. Paternalist relations are found in the recruitment of workers via informal social networks, as well as in the training system and piecework payments. We discovered that the rationalisation process in one of the sites researched, in spite of being seen as positive by the workers, exhibited technical difficulties with regards implementation, meaning that the management of the labour force still showed characteristics of craftwork. Finally, we analysed the social relations involved in the training process whereby sector-specific skills were learnt. From observations in the field, we showed the difficulties faced by workers both with regards to both training and having their specific skills recognised / Doutorado / Sociologia do Trabalho / Doutor em Ciências Sociais

The Management NVQ: a critique of the myth of relevance

Grugulis, C. Irena January 2000 (has links)
Yes / The Management NVQs were (according to their proponents) designed to provide a new mechanism for certifying workplace competence. Centred on descriptions of practice in the workplace they offered a qualifications route that could be accessed by all. This article draws on an in-depth study of the implementation of NVQs in three private sector organisations. It argues that, in practice, this competence-based format is highly problematic. Candidates are required to work towards criteria that may not match their roles and responsibilities, developmental work is systemically discouraged and work is routinised. The article concludes by arguing that these flaws are structural ones which may be expected to continue as long as NVQs continue to attempt to distil the essence of occupations into `standards¿.
