The effects of work experiences and institutional support on job satisfaction among NCAA coachesKim, Jong-Chae 29 August 2005 (has links)
The primary purposes of this study were to explore the relationships among four work experiences (i.e., job variety, job autonomy, job stress, and job feedback) and coaches?? job satisfaction to examine the influence of institutional support (i.e., affective institutional support and financial institutional support) on job satisfaction, and to investigate if the relationship between the type of institutional support and job satisfaction differs (does not differ) between revenue generating sport coaches and non-revenue-generating sport coaches. To achieve these purposes this study examined the relationships among four work experiences and institutional support variables on job satisfaction. This study also examined differences between revenue-generating sport and non-revenue-generating sport coaches. Coaches (N = 599) in 7 sports (i.e., football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, and tennis) from NCAA Division I schools were asked to participate in this study. The response rate was a 34.7 % (208 / 599). Participants included 145 males and 63 females. Of the 208 completed and returned questionnaires, 100 (48.1%) were from revenue sport coaches (i.e., football and basketball). Meanwhile, 108 (51.9 %) were from non-revenue sport coaches. The results indicated that job variety, job stress, job feedback, affective institutional support, and financial institutional support were significantly related to job satisfaction. Namely, these three job experiences and two types of institutional support in the organizational environment impacted coaches?? attitudes, or job satisfaction. Further, for revenue generating sport coaches, financial institutional support was a significant indicator of job satisfaction; however, for non-revenue-generating sport coaches, affective institutional support held a stronger relationship to job satisfaction than did financial institutional support. Additionally, one of the job experience variables, job feedback, played a meaningful role to both coaches of revenue sports and coaches of nonrevenue sports in shaping job satisfaction.

Ekonomelevers extrajobb under gymnasietiden : Utvecklingsmöjligheter för studie- och yrkesvägledningenLilius, Camilla January 2011 (has links)
The knowledge of early employment experiences has evolved over the last decade in countries such as Australia and Great Britain. In Sweden, this type of research is still unusual and the aim of this study was to break new ground by highlighting some areas that could be of extra interest in the Swedish early employment research to come. A focus in the study was to give an overview of what job sectors school students work in; and the amount of jobs aquired through school-organized work placement, private social networks or personal marketing of own merits. In addition to this, a multi variate analysis was carried out to find patterns in the picture of early employment experiences among students at upper secondary school. The findings of the study has relevance for ways of conducting career counselling and therefore the general aim of this study is to point out the importance of developing the practises of vocational psychology. A survey among 74 teenaged school students with economics as their main subject has been carried out in a mid-size Swedish city May 2012. 62 school students answered. The survey showed that 94% of the students had part-time jobs. Most common was to have 1-3 employers during the three years at upper secondary school. Most students worked in the job-sectors retail (29%), catering (23%), and care of the elderly (14%). An interesting finding was that no Swedish students seemed to work with delivery. This is surprising since this job-sector is big among school students in both Australia and Great Britain. Another interesting find was ways of aquiring a job. Not surprisingly most jobs were aquired through private social networks (59%), but some job-sectors stood out as pathways to a job for those students without the right social networks. In catering 48% of the jobs were aquired through marketing of own merits, and in the care of the elderly job-sector 78% of the jobs were aquired this way. The study indicates that early work experiences in Sweden in major parts reflect the research carried out in Austalia and Great Britain. But some research areas differ. A more close look at early work experiences among teenaged school students in Sweden is therefore necessary to develop vocational psychology and to incorporate learning outside school into school practices. An aspect that has been observed sofar is the way in which social background steers both the experience of early employment and career choice.

The Work Experiences of Student Affairs Professionals: What Values Guide Practice?Orgera, Jeffrey Michael January 2007 (has links)
One segment of the academic community that is overlooked in most research is the large cadre of professionals who deliver a multitude of services to students outside of the classroom. From the perspective of students, the student affairs professionals they encounter in the residence halls, advising offices, and within other aspects of the campus life fabric, are the face of the university. This case study of student affairs professionals within four departments at one large, public, Research-I University seeks to define the core values of the work, understand perspectives on the individuals they work with, how practice unfolds within the organization context of the campus, and what values guide practice. The literatures drawn upon include; student affairs ideology, service delivery patterns and techniques, institutional theory, professional specialization, and trends in higher education. The findings from this study illustrate that the work experiences of student affairs professionals are dominated by brief encounters with students that occur within a work environment that is frequently overwhelming. High volumes of students seeking service and limited opportunities to develop ongoing relationships create challenging work expectations for student affairs professionals. The core values of the profession are in transition as institutional priorities that focus on efficiency and competitive advantage become further established within academe. Policy recommendations for the student affairs profession and institutional decision makers are made in the final chapter.

On cosmopolitanism and international adjustment : an ethnography of self-initiated foreign work experiences in IndiaMettgenberg, Martina Annette January 2012 (has links)
Cosmopolitanism is widely debated in the literature of business and management and social sciences. It is often seen as a solution to the problem of international employees' maladjustment. The literature has predominantly examined the experiences of labour migrants and expatriates. In recent years, self-initiated foreign work experiences (SFE) have gained more relevance. Demographically, economically, socially and culturally, SFEs are situated in the 'middle' between labour migrants and expatriates. Yet, concomitant discussions of a 'middle' of cosmopolitanism and the exploration of everyday life of this middle cosmopolitanism have been rare. Conceptualising SFE processes is vital for a more holistic and effective understanding of international adjustment and cosmopolitanism. To this end, the study provides an ethnography of SFEs' everyday lives. In particular, it examines the backgrounds and current experiences of international employees (IEs) in India's knowledge process offshoring (KPO) industry at work, at home and outside their homes. At work, IEs displayed and created attachments to their work, India and the local through their colleagues and friends. At home, IEs in different company apartments demonstrated various processes of sharing and learning despite cultural and linguistic differences. Outside their homes, IEs engaged in numerous leisure activities revealing IEs' motivations and ways in which IEs adjusted. The study offers two findings. Throughout their activities at work, homes and in India, IEs balanced emotions and reasons, negotiated the global and local and self-flexibility and externally required flexibility. IEs also engaged in friendships to various degrees. Both findings of IEs' activities reveal complex dynamics of SFE adjustment and cosmopolitanism. The findings built the foundation for a new framework to understand SFE cosmopolitanism and international adjustment.

Experiencing work/non-work : Theorising individuals’ process of integrating and segmenting work, family, social and privateLanguilaire, Jean-Charles January 2009 (has links)
The relationships between work and personal life have been on the public, business, and research agenda for about 35 years. Perspectives on these relationships have shifted from a work-family to work-life or work-personal life focus, from a conflict to a balance or enrichment view and, finally, from a segmentation to an integration perspective. This evolution, however, leads to a theoretical and practical impasse where neither integration nor segmentation can be seen as the absolute individual, organisational and societal value. This thesis takes the discussion one step further and focuses on individuals’ work/non-work experiences, calling for a humanistic case. The humanistic case urges placing individuals’ work/non-work experiences at the centre of human resources and at the centre of the work-life field. The aim of the thesis is to theorise individuals’ work/non-work experiences in their individual, organisational and societal contexts. To achieve the purpose, the thesis presents individuals’ work/non-work self-narratives. These self-narratives of six French middle-managers, three men and three women, underline how individuals experience their diverse life domains, namely the work, the family, the social and the private and their management. The self-narratives have been generated through in-depth qualitative interviews and diaries. The thesis explores and provides an understanding of individuals’ work/non-work experiences from a boundary perspective. Focusing on the processes behind individuals’ work/non-work experiences, the thesis reveals that work/non-work preferences for integration and/or segmentation are not sufficient to understand individuals’ experiences. It is essential to consider the preferences in relation to their level of explicitness and the development of work/non-work self-identity. Moreover, it is important to understand the roles of positive and negative work/non-work emotions emerging in the work/non-work process as a respective signal of individuals’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction in how their life domains are developed and managed. The thesis contributes to the work-life field, especially the boundary perspective on work and non-work by presenting a model of individuals’ work/non-work experiences. The model pursued is derived from 33 theoretical propositions. The study suggests a two-dimensional approach for life domain boundaries as a systematic combination of seven boundary types (spatial, temporal, human, cognitive, behavioural, emotional and psychosomatic) and their mental and concrete natures. It suggests a three-dimensional model for work/non-work preferences, revealing five major archetypes of work/non-work preferences between segmentation and integration, and stressing the emotional side of the work/non-work process. It shows that individuals value segmentation on a daily basis and integration on a long-term. This thesis concludes that segmenting and integrating is essential for the harmony of their life domains namely their work, their family, their social and their private.

Growth Intentions in New Ventures : The Influence of Founders' Prior Work ExperiencesForsberg, Hanna, Lundkvist, Tilma January 2022 (has links)
Background: Founders hold a powerful position that can shape the future and direction of their new ventures, especially in the early stages of venture development. Prior work experiences are known to be influential for future growth, but the relationship between founders' prior work experiences and their growth intentions is poorly understood. Purpose: The study aims to contribute to the existing literature by furthering the awareness and understanding of how founders are using their prior work experiences when shaping and evaluating their growth intentions. The study answers the research question: How do founders' prior work experiences influence growth intentions in the early stages of venture development? Method: Our method is based on qualitative research and adapts an explanatory purpose to capture the process between prior work experiences and growth intentions and elaborate the understanding of how growth intentions are created in the early stage of the ventures' development. Through a case study with semi-structured interviews, we have interviewed nine new venture founders in the tech sector, which have been the ground for our empirics. The analysis of data was conducted in three steps, namely empirical analysis, retroduction, and corroboration. Conclusion: Our study advances the explanation of how founders' prior work experiences shape how they manage their ventures' internal environments, which impact their growth intentions. By conducting a conceptual model, we explained how building social working environment, structuring people and practices, and implementing routines manifest as mechanisms in the process between prior experiences and growth.

Previous issue date: 2013-12-10 / O trabalho docente nas Instituições federais de ensino superior (Ifes) tem sido marcado por
um contexto de intensificação, precarização e flexibilização nos últimos anos. A invasão da
lógica neoliberal no espaço universitário trouxe implicações para o cotidiano de trabalho
docente, o qual passou a se orientar pelas premissas da eficiência e da produtividade. Este
contexto desenvolveu novas formas de organização do trabalho docente, influenciando suas
relações socioprofissionais e suas vivências de prazer e sofrimento. Esta tese teve o objetivo
de descrever e analisar, com base em categorias de análise da clínica psicodinâmica do
trabalho, as vivências dos docentes da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de
Goiás (UFG) em relação ao seu trabalho na instituição de ensino superior (IES). Para tanto,
buscou-se identificar os elementos que causam vivências de prazer e sofrimento nos docentes
e que se relacionam ao seu contexto de trabalho, compreender as estratégias defensivas
coletivas utilizadas pelo grupo em relação ao sofrimento gerado pelos constrangimentos no
trabalho e verificar as possibilidades de constituição de um espaço de discussão coletivo.
Foram desenvolvidos dois estudos para alcançar esse objetivo. O primeiro baseou-se em uma
análise documental, a qual analisou os cadernos de avaliação institucional, e um diagnóstico
organizacional elaborado por empresa de consultoria especializada na área. O estudo I
também envolveu a realização de entrevistas individuais, relacionadas à temática das
categorias da psicodinâmica do trabalho. O segundo estudo foi desenvolvido com base na
validação dos dados do estudo I e realizado em sessões coletivas com os professores da
Faculdade de Odontologia da UFG. O referencial teórico para interpretação dos resultados foi
a Psicodinâmica do trabalho, a qual é imbuída de uma ética de defesa da saúde do trabalhador
e de sua ação autônoma e transformadora das formas patogênicas de gestão e organização do
trabalho. Os resultados das análises indicam que as vivências de sofrimento relacionam-se à
sobrecarga, à falta de reconhecimento e aos conflitos presentes nas relações
socioprofissionais, e que todos estes elementos se relacionam com a liberdade e a autonomia
do professor. Essas, percebidas pelos professores como fontes de prazer, possibilitam o uso
das estratégias defensivas do individualismo e do isolamento, e auxiliam o enfrentamento da
sobrecarga de trabalho, das relações interpessoais conflituosas e da cobrança por
produtividade. A liberdade e a autonomia contribuem para o prazer, mas também para o
sofrimento, pois dificultam a formação de um coletivo capaz de restaurar a solidariedade e a
confiança entre os professores e que possibilitaria ao docente deliberar coletivamente sobre as
dificuldades enfrentadas no cotidiano de trabalho, elaborando soluções compartilhadas,
promovendo o reconhecimento sobre o seu engajamento, e o exercício pleno da liberdade e da
autonomia, as quais poderiam modificar o seu contexto de trabalho. As vivências de prazer
dos professores estão relacionadas ao convívio com os alunos, à sala de aula e ao significado
da profissão docente em sua potência em transformar realidades. Conclui-se que o
reconhecimento do aluno constitui um tipo singular, o qual ressignifica o sofrimento docente
advindo da sobrecarga de trabalho e da ausência de outros reconhecimentos.

Previous issue date: 2015-12-02 / The work of health professionals from a municipal capital Institution has been
marked by a context of decentralization and adjustment in seeking cooperation
between peers, but intensification, discontent, socio-professional conflicts in
recent years. The form of management and the power has flaws that end up
invading the subjectivity of the worker, bringing implications disfavor both the
employee and the organization in regard to efficiency and productivity. This
context has developed new forms of work organization, influencing their social
and professional relationships and their experiences of pleasure and suffering.
This thesis aimed to investigate and analyze bullying a group of employees of a
Public Institution Municipal starting from the clinical and psychodynamic
approach to work. To do so, it sought to diagnose and analyze the existence of
processes related to bullying and its causes, specifically in the area of the
northwest district of a city in the Midwest of the country, found profiles of likely
harassers and harassed relating the real foundation of the object, along the
organization s characteristics, experiences of pleasure and workers suffering,
the use of subjective mobilization, and his other defensive strategies used by
the individual or group to the suffering generated by the constraints at work and
manifestation of bullying. Finally, he sought to use the clinic psychodynamics of
work through collective discussion space. Some steps have been developed to
achieve this goal. The first was based on a documentary analysis, which found
the possibility to analyze the suffering of indicators in relation to bullying in the
specific department of the human resources department. This first step also
involved a willingness to help, through documents with suffering indication. In
the second step, it was presented in the form of lectures, presenting concepts,
features and profiles of the harasser and harassed, about 300 people were
present. Followed by the stage of inviting participants, via telephone, e-mail,
those who responded to written questions random and available in talks over
who would have lived, or who still lives or experienced bullying at work. And
finally made the collective discussion with guiding questions to both groups
surveyed, agents and their supervisors. The questions were divided into
subcategories, bullying, work organization and subjective mobilization. The
meetings had the same development on the methodology, considering the
clinical psychodynamics of work. The test results indicate the presence of
bullying, highlighting the first group of professionals, with the existence of
subjects with stalkers profiles that caused suffering to certain participants. In the
second group, it identified bullying of some professionals for supervisors as a
means justifiable, the political bias of some agents. As regards the organization
of work, considering the experiences of pleasure and pain sent the correlations
of the form of management and hierarchy criteria, conflicts in professional social
relations of these hierarchies or pairs, overload, lack of recognition the two
groups, but emphasizing the subjectivity. Finally, we studied the agents and
their supervisors in a particular demographic area. What is established is that
the result of the comparison and realization of this insight not only results in
changes in language and form of management, but the characteristics of the
worker, as both agent and supervisor. / O trabalho dos profissionais de saúde da Instituição pública municipal da
capital tem sido marcado por um contexto de descentralização e ajuste na
busca de cooperação entre pares, porém de intensificação, descontentamento,
conflitos sócio-profissionais nos últimos anos. A forma de gestão e o poder têm
falhas que acabam invadindo a subjetividade do trabalhador, trazendo
implicações que desfavorecem tanto o trabalhador quanto a organização no
que tange à eficiência e produtividade. Este contexto desenvolveu novas
formas de organização do trabalho, influenciando suas relações sócioprofissionais
e suas vivências de prazer e sofrimento. Essa tese teve como
objetivo investigar e analisar o assédio moral num grupo de trabalhadores de
uma Instituição Pública Municipal partindo da abordagem da clínica e
psicodinâmica do trabalho. Para tanto, buscou diagnosticar e analisar a
existência de processos relacionados ao assédio moral e suas causas,
especificamente na região do distrito noroeste de um cidade no centro-oeste do
país, verificou perfis de prováveis assediadores e assediados relacionando a
real fundamentação do objeto, junto às características da organização, as
vivências de prazer e sofrimento do trabalhador, o uso da mobilização
subjetiva, e sua demais estratégias defensivas utilizadas pelo indivíduo ou
grupo em relação ao sofrimento gerado pelos constrangimentos no trabalho e
da manifestação do assédio moral. E por fim, buscou utilizar a clínica da
psicodinâmica do trabalho através do espaço de discussão coletivo. Foram
desenvolvidos alguns passos para alcançar esse objetivo. O primeiro baseouse
em uma análise documental, a qual, verificou a possibilidade em analisar os
indicadores de sofrimento em relação ao assédio moral no departamento
específico de recursos humanos da organização. Esse primeiro passo também
envolveu a disposição de ajudar, através de documentos com indicação de
sofrimento. No segundo passo, foi apresentado em forma de palestras,
apresentando conceitos, características e perfis do assediador e assediado,
Cerca de 300 pessoas estavam presentes. Seguiu-se a fase de convidar os
participantes da pesquisa, via telefone, e-mail, aos que responderam às
questões aleatórias escritas e disponíveis nas palestras sobre quem teria
vivido, ou quem ainda vive ou vivenciou o assédio moral no trabalho. E
finalmente foi feita a discussão coletiva com questões norteadoras com os dois
grupos pesquisados, os agentes e seus supervisores. As questões foram
divididas nas subcategorias, assédio moral, organização do trabalho e a
mobilização subjetiva. Os encontros tiveram a o mesmo desenvolvimento
diante da metodologia, considerando a clínica psicodinâmica do trabalho. Os
resultados das análises indicam a presença de assédio moral, sobressaindo o
primeiro grupo de profissionais, com a existência de sujeitos com perfis de
assediadores que causavam sofrimento a determinados participantes. No
segundo grupo, identificou-se assédio moral de alguns profissionais para com
os supervisores como meio justificável, o favorecimento político de alguns
agentes. No que se concerne à organização do trabalho, considerando as
vivências de prazer e sofrimento remeteu-se as correlações da forma de gestão
e dos critérios de hierarquia, aos conflitos nas relações sócio profissionais
dessas hierarquias ou de pares, à sobrecarga, à falta de reconhecimento dos
dois grupos, porém enfatizando a subjetividade. Enfim, estudou-se os agentes
e seus supervisores numa determinada região demográfica. O que se estabelece é que o resultado da comparação e realização desse insight não se
resulta em apenas mudanças na linguagem e na forma de gestão, mas, em
características próprias do trabalhador, tanto como agente, como supervisor.
