Work-life interaction among Setswana-speaking educators in the North West Province : a phenomenological study / Lizelle WentzelWentzel, Lizelle January 2006 (has links)
In an ever-changing world, work and personal life are the main areas in which most employed
adults spend their time. Today the essence of the relationship between work- and personal life is
that these two domains overlap and interact. Consequently, an increasing number of employed
adults are confronted with bigger demands in both their work and personal lives, and many of
their daily hassles stem from job responsibilities that are incompatible with responsibilities in
their personal lives. Educators' work has also become more intricate and demanding and may be
one of the professions in which individuals find it difficult to combine their work and personal
lives.
The objective of this study was to determine how Setswana-speaking educators experienced their
work-personal life interaction (WPLI), and more specifically to determine the significant
domains, antecedents, consequences and strategies associated with WPLI for the participants. A
non-probability purposive voluntary sample (N = 10) was taken of Setswana-speaking secondary
school educators from the Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp areas in the North West Province. Data
collection was done through a phenomenological method of semi-structured in-depth interviews.
Data was analysed by the use of content analysis
The results indicated that educators experienced factors in both their work and personal lives to
be demanding. In addition, work demands led to various time constraints and strain. However,
factors were identified that made the demands less overwhelming and it was also found that
educators valued certain things (family, friends, leisure time, church and personal time) in their
personal lives. Educators nevertheless employed certain strategies to cope with this interaction,
which in turn led to numerous positive outcomes. Lastly, an interesting finding relating to this
study was that educators felt a responsibility towards the children.
Recommendations were made for the organisation and for future practice. / Thesis (M.Com. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.

Work-life interaction of Setswana speaking police officers : a phenomenological study / Nando Maude TlouTlou, Nando Maude January 2007 (has links)
Work and family constitutes the dominant life roles for most adults in contemporary society. In that, work may be interrupted by family and family may be interrupted by work. Work often generates ambivalent feelings; it can create both positive feelings (e.g. gives energy, enables development) and negative feelings (e.g. lack of freedom). Therefore, most people accept the overall life experiences including the various dimensions or domains that play a role in work-personal life interaction, such as, time spent on one domain, pressures experienced, responsibilities carried, sense of loyalty with work and family, as common and conflicting aspects. Recent developments in boundary theory highlighted the fact that integrating, or rather interaction means bordering between the two domains of work and personal life is permeable.
The main objective of this study was to investigate work-personal life interaction (WPLI) experiences of Setswana speaking police officials. This study also concentrated on the existence of work-personal life interaction, aspects involved, consequences thereof and coping mechanisms employed by the police officers. A non-probability purposive voluntary sample (n = 12) was taken of Setswana speaking police officials from the Mafikeng area in the North West Province. Data collection was done through a phenomenological method of semi-structured in-depth interviews. Content analysis was used to analyse, quantify and interpret the research data systematically and objectively. Results from the content analysis based on the experiences were recorded as reported.
The results indicated that there was a definite interaction between work and personal life. However, some police officials experienced interaction more than others. Furthermore, they also experienced the interaction to be more negative than positive due to organisational stressors and the management style of the organisation. Consequently the participants experienced high levels
of strain and difficulty when managing their time and dealing with the interaction between their work and personal lives. The time and strain difficulties induced a lot of conflict in their homes as well as their social lives. However, there were some police officials who experienced positive aspects in their lives regardless of the difficulties of being a police official. In addition, it was identified that they made use of coping mechanisms that acted as a buffer against negative experiences of WPLI.

Work-life interaction among Afrikaans speaking secondary school educators in the North West Province : a phenomenological study / Chenell BuysBuys, Chenell January 2006 (has links)
In contemporary society, work and home represent the two most significant domains in the life
of a working individual. In order to help an individual live optimally, the work and personal life
domains must no longer be regarded as separate domains, but as highly interrelated. The work
and personal life domains must influence each other in a positive way to assist the individual in
his daily responsibilities at work and in his personal life. A high proportion of employed
workers, however, have serious difficulties in combining obligations in their work and personal
lives. Educators are one of the occupations that may find it difficult to integrate their work and
personal life.
The objectives of this research were to determine how Afrikaans-speaking educators experienced
Work-Personal Life Interaction (WPLI), to determine the domains in Afrikaans-speaking
educators' lives that could interact with one another, to determine the main antecedents and
consequences of WPLI for Afrikaans-speaking educators and to investigate which strategies
Afrikaans-speaking educators used to deal with WPLI issues. A non-probability purposive
voluntary sample (N = I I) of Afrikaans-speaking secondary school educators was used from the
North West Province (in the Potchefstroom and Promosa areas). A qualitative design from a
phenomenological approach was used to determine educators' experience of WPLI. Content
analysis was used to analyse, quantify and interpret the research data.
The results indicated that educators experienced certain aspects in their work environment and
personal lives as demanding. Certain dimensions were identified in both their work and personal
lives. As a result of a demanding work environment, they experienced time and strain-based
conflict between their work and personal lives. However, it was found that educators possessed
various factors that facilitated their WPLI and strategies they used to deal with WPLI issues.

Work-personal life interaction of Afrikaans speaking police officers : a phenomenological study / Eva Kefilwe SekwenaSekwena, Eva Kefilwe January 2006 (has links)
Effectiveness, productivity and motivation of police members are important factors
that contribute to a country's stability, economic growth and development. As such,
understanding experiences that police members might have with regard to the
relationship between their work and personal life is the main focus area in this study.
The objectives of this study were to determine how Afrikaans speaking police
members experience work-personal life interaction, and secondly, to determine the
main dimensions in the lives of Afrikaans speaking police members that is in
interaction with each other, and thirdly, to determine the major antecedents and
consequences of work-personal life for Afrikaans speaking police members, and
fourthly, to determine which strategies Afrikaans speaking police members use to deal
with work-personal life issues. Unstructured interviews were conducted with ten
males and females in the police stations based in the Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp
areas. Qualitative interviews based on the phenomenological paradigm, were used to
determine police officers perception regarding work and personal life interaction. A
Content analysis was used to analyse, quantify and interpret the research data.
Police members reported experiencing their work as stressful, in that it interfered
negatively with their lives and also had certain health implications. They further
experienced some aspects in their personal lives (e.g., household duties, family
responsibilities) interfering with their work. Furthermore, they reported using certain
strategies (e.g., communication, support from a spouse) as a way of bettering the
interaction between their work and personal lives.
