En gestion, les recherches sur les comportements de la Génération Y au travail sont décriées. Pourtant, les questions de la cohabitation et du renouvellement générationnel font l’objet de nombreux écrits dans la presse. Si la recherche d’une identité Y en tant qu’entité circonscrite semble infructueuse, l’étude de la socialisation organisationnelle d’une cohorte basée sur l’entrée organisationnelle à un âge similaire permet de saisir le sens du phénomène. De plus, dans un contexte d’attraction et de fidélisation des meilleurs jeunes diplômés à potentiel, les grandes entreprises mettent progressivement en place des graduate programmes. L’étude longitudinale qualitative réalisée en CIFRE chez TRANSLOG combine plusieurs méthodes de recherche, permettant d’enrichir la littérature académique à deux niveaux. Au plan individuel, l’analyse de 60 entretiens longitudinaux menés auprès de 17 pépinières révèle le déroulement de la socialisation des gradués pendant 24 mois, dans le cadre de diverses transitions de rôle. Au plan organisationnel, les pratiques et tactiques organisationnelles de socialisation mises en œuvre par l’entreprise et les agents socialisateurs sont exposées, de même que les atouts et dysfonctionnements des pratiques utilisées. Une lecture du phénomène « Génération Y » est proposée : cohorte organisationnelle (dans l’entreprise) et cohorte sociétale (dans et hors de l’entreprise) sont deux regards complémentaires portés sur l’identité générationnelle au travail, à lire de façon duale pour en saisir tous les mécanismes. Des préconisations managériales et organisationnelles sont suggérées pour TRANSLOG et pour les organisations rencontrant des enjeux similaires. / In management, the research on the Generation Y’s behaviors at work is criticized. Yet the questions of cohabitation and generational renewal are the subject of numerous writings in the press. If the search for a Y identity as a circumscribed entity seems unsuccessful, the study of the organizational socialization of a cohort based on organizational input at a similar age seems relevant to understand the meaning of the phenomenon. Moreover, in a context of attraction and retention of the best young graduates with potential, big corporations progressively design graduate programs. The qualitative longitudinal study carried out within the TRANSLOG company combines several research methods, enabling the enrichment of the academic literature at two levels. At the individual level, the analysis of 60 longitudinal interviews with 17 trainees revealed the process of socialization of these graduates over 24 months in various role transitions. At the organizational level, the organizational practices and tactics of socialization implemented by the company and the socializing agents are exposed, as well as the strengths and dysfunctions of the practices used. A reading of the “Generation Y” phenomenon is proposed. Our results show that the organizational cohort (in the company) and the societal cohort (inside and outside the company) are two complementary views focused on generational identity, which have to be read in a dual way in order to grasp its mechanisms. Managerial and organizational recommendations are suggested for TRANSLOG and for organizations with similar issues.

A non-experimental, explorative, descriptive, quantitative study was undertaken. The purpose was to explore and describe the views of preceptors and preceptees regarding the fulfillment of the role of the preceptor in selected clinical nursing practice settings in the Botswana context. The study included 72 preceptors and 200 nursing students/preceptees who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of this study indicated that there were numerous constraints that interfered with the preceptor role in accompaniment of the preceptee. These constraints included the lack of desirable characteristics and time to plan learning opportunities, inadequate use of teaching strategies and inadequate knowledge on preceptee evaluation. Recommendations were stated for improvements in the future role of the preceptor in clinical practice settings Limitations of this study were also highlighted. / Health Studies / M.A.(Health studies)

Text in Afrikaans / In this qualitative research study the landscape of the age-old tradition of contemplative spirituality within the context of the reformed tradition was investigated. An empirical study was done to determine the pastoral needs and experiences of Afrikaans speaking believers from the reformed tradition, involved in contemplative spirituality. Questionnaires and qualitative interviews were used for this purpose. The research path has been further shaped by social construction theory as a postmodern approach. This study was born out of my own discovery of the healing qualities of contemplative spirituality and secondly due to the growing demand among Afrikaans speaking reformed believers for exposure to the disciplines of contemplative spirituality. Little research is available on this topic and is it the hope of this research to open new conversations about contemplative spirituality in the Afrikaans reformed tradition. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M.

Text in Afrikaans / Hierdie navorsing belig en evalueer die ontwikkeling van die belangrikste wereldbeskouinge binne die Westerse kultuur deur op noodsaaklike interaksies tussen die filosofie, religie, wetenskap en geskiedenis te konsentreer. 'n Samehangende weergawe van die veranderende werklikheid is slegs moontlik wanneer die mens op historiese gebied goed onderle is. In die antieke wereld het Vorrne en Idees tydlose waarde gehad. Begrippe as skeppinge van die mens is as uitdrukkinge van die meer fundamentele idees of diepste werklikheid beskou. Hierdie Idees het die outentieke werklikheid en hoe die mens behoort te !ewe onverborge gemaak. 'n Fundamentele epogale verandering ('n Kopernikaanse omwenteling) in die perspektief en beeld van die modeme wereldbeskouing het met Descartes ingetree en sou by Kant 'n hoogtepunt bereik. Met die agteruitgang van die Christendom het die wetenskap meteens sy aanspraak op 'n nugtere benadering van die konkrete werklikheid versterk en as die bevryder van die mensdom na vore getree. Die mens is op radikale wyse uit die middelpunt van die Totale Werklikheid (Syn) verplaas. Hierdie verplasing is deur Darwin se relativisme versterk, soda! die wereld sonder geestelike doel en sin gelaat is. Die postmodeme intellektuele era toon 'n besondere kompleksiteit, besluiteloosheid en gebrek aan konsensus oor die wese van die werklikheid en die ongeslotenheid daarvan. Dit bied egter ongeewenaarde moontlikhede en perspektiewe sodat sake van die dag deurskou kan word en probleme opgelos kan word. Eietydse geskiedenis toon 'n universele neiging tot destruksie, maar ook 'n strewe na politieke, sosiale en fi!osofiese hemuwing. Dit wil voorkom of dit die regte tydstip is vir 'n metamorfose ('n periagoge') van fundamentele beginsels en simbole. Die Westerse denke behoort met die grondslae van sy bestaan of die Totale Werklikheid (Syn) te skakel om 'n groter eenheid te verkry en menslike ontheemding te transendeer. Die besinnende ofmetaparadigmatiese benadering kan 'n balans tussen berekende en besinnende denke bring en openheid vir 'n outentieke postmoderne denkmodel skep. Vertroue en geloof is nodig om die drumpel na die mees basiese werklikbeidstruktuur oor te steek. / This research elucidates and evaluates the development of the major worldviews of the Western culture by focusing on the crucial sphere of interaction between philosophy, religion, science and history. A coherent account of the changing conception of reality seems to be possible only to the extent to which one is historically informed. In the ancient world Forms and Ideas were timeless. Conceptual abstractions as creations of the human mind were expressions of the more fundamental ideas or deepest reality. These ideas unveiled authentic reality and how one should conduct life. A fundamental epochal shift (a Copernican revolution) in the perspective and fundamental metaphor of the entire modem worldview began with Descartes and culminated in Kant. Christianity was undermined and science suddenly stood forth as mankind's liberation appealing to common sense and concrete reality. The radical displacement of the human being from the centre of Total Reality (Being) was reinforced by Darwin's relativism of the human being, leading to a world devoid of spiritual purpose and intrinsic meaning. The postmodern intellectual era is profoundly complex, without consensus of the nature of reality, it is open-ended, but blessed with an unprecedented wealth of perspectives to engage the issues confronting it and to solve problems. Contemporary history reflects a universal mood of destruction but also a longing for political, social and philosophical renewal. It seems to be the right moment for a metamorphosis (a periagoge') of fundamental principles and symbols. The deepest passion of the Western mind should be to reunite with the ground of its being, to reconnect with Total Reality (Being), embrace a larger unity and transcend human alienation. The reflective or metaparadigmatic approach seems to create a balance between calculative and reflective thinking and create the necessary openness for an authentic postmodern model of thought. A threshold needs to be crossed demanding trust and faith to bring about the most basic structure of reality. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (Filosofie van Opvoedkunde)

Le présent travail vise à approfondir la problématique de l’autonomie en apprentissage, considéré comme une exigence incontournable de l’éducation. Il aborde le sujet étudié en tenant compte de la dimension culturelle et part du constat d’une difficulté d’application des modèles occidentaux dans le contexte de l’apprentissage du français langue étrangère au Vietnam. Il s’appuie sur une recherche abductive utilisant la méthode d’analyse par théorisation ancrée qui favorise des allers-retours successifs entre le travail empirique et les théories mobilisées. Un corpus riche et complexe a été recueilli au moyen du filmage, des entretiens, de l’écriture des journaux de bord des quatre étudiants suivis, des échanges par courriels et de la prise de notes. Dégager la complexité du concept d’autonomie a exigé l’exploration des notions de stratégie et de compétence ainsi que l’identification des difficultés lors des apprentissages. Ce travail a permis de révéler que l’émotion joue un rôle intermédiaire dans la relation interdépendante des composantes de l’apprentissage. Cette relation est fondée sur des causalités à la fois linéaire et cyclique. En montrant les types d’entraves dont l’acteur-apprenant doit se délivrer pour devenir autonome, l’étude affirme la nécessité pour l’apprenant de garder l’équilibre entre des modes analytique et synthétique. Soutenir l’apprenant dans son apprentissage implique que le tuteur l’accompagne vers cet équilibre et s’efforce lui-même aussi de le maintenir durant le processus de soutien. / The aim of this thesis is to analyse in depth the question of learner autonomy, considered to be a fundamental requirement in the educational field. Adopting a cultural perspective, the study acknowledges first of all the difficulty in applying western models to the context of learning French as a foreign language in Vietnam. It adopts an abductive research method based on a grounded theory approach entailing successive interplay between empirical work and theory. A rich and complex corpus has been collected through filming, interviews, the log-books of the four students observed, the exchange of emails and note-taking. In order to elucidate the complexity of the concept of autonomy it was necessary to explore the notions of strategy and competence and to identify learning difficulties. The study reveals notably that emotion plays an intermediary role in the interdependent relationship between the different learning components. This relationship is based upon both linear and cyclical causality. By showing the different obstacles the actor-learner must overcome in order to be autonomous, the study affirms the necessity to keep a balance between analytic and synthetic modes of thinking. Scaffolding the leaner’s development requires the tutor to accompany him/her towards this balance and to endeavour to maintain the same balance during the scaffolding process.

La thématique de recherche est d’analyser les tenants et les aboutissants du mythe moderne de santé parfaite via les démarches socio-anthropologique, philosophique et théologico-religieuse, afin de saisir sa problématique éthique. Examiner les transformations des pratiques thérapeutiques a demandé de retranscrire d’abord, sous un mode théorique, les principes qui sont aux fondements de l’exigence sanitaire pour étudier ensuite des expériences ad hoc. Aussi, supposé incarner cette idéologie, le dépistage systématique néonatal de la mucoviscidose relié aux centres de suivi génétique a été la base empirique d’un questionnement éthique spécifique, comme la responsabilité de l’homme face à la vulnérabilité et à la finitude humaine. Orientée par une éthique de la parole suggérant la création d’espaces de réflexion d’où émane une pensée créative, le concept de rite de passage - doté de sa dynamique d’accompagnement - apporte des indications sur la fonction d’une éthique du soin déterminée. / The topic of research is to analyze the ins and outs of modern myth of perfect health through socio-anthropological approaches, philosophical and theological-religious to grasp its ethical problems. Examining changes in treatment practices needed to transcribe first, from a theoretical mode, the principles are the foundations of sanitary requirement then consider ad hoc experiments. Also supposed to embody this ideology, systematic neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis related centers of genetic monitoring was the empirical basis for an ethical questioning sui generis, as the responsibility of the man facing the vulnerability and human finitude. Guided by an ethic of speech suggesting ultimately creating spaces for reflection where creative thinking follows the concept of “rite of passage" - with its accompanying dynamics - provides indications on reality based an ethic of care determined.

The aim of thesis is to create an overview of the holistic concept of domestic palliative care in the context of social work. This overview includes identification of the needs of people in the terminal stage of life and the dilemmas that families face in the final stage of the lives of their loved ones. The individual chapters of this thesis describe the needs of the dying and informal caregivers, and they point out the importance of the family environment for coping with death-related concerns. The qualitative survey carried out via semi-structured interviews includes identification of the needs of the dying and caregivers, the dilemmas of caregivers in making decisions about choosing the form of care for their loved ones, and mapping the awareness of caregivers about the possibilities of social work support.

Entre 1750 et 1800, l’émergence et l’adoption de nouveaux genres musicaux et modèles stylistiques, bouleversent la pratique de l’accompagnement au clavier en France. La basse chiffrée se raréfie dans les œuvres gravées et cède progressivement le pas à des parties de clavier entièrement écrites dans la musique vocale. La première partie de cette thèse définit la place de l’accompagnateur et l’évolution de la notation. La seconde est consacrée à l’enseignement dispensé par les méthodes et traités, et établit des passerelles avec les écoles étrangères et le siècle suivant. Enfin, la troisième partie reconsidère la question de l’accompagnement dans les sonates pour clavier et violon. La confrontation des écrits théoriques et des partitions trouve une application directe dans la pratique de la basse continue et de l’accompagnement au clavier, et permet de proposer des modèles de réalisation conformes aux caractéristiques observées dans les œuvres de cette période. / Between 1750 and 1800, the emergence and adoption of new musical genres and stylistic models radically change the accompaniment practice on keyboard instruments in France. Figured bass becomes scarce and is gradually replaced by written-out keyboard parts in vocal music. The first part of this thesis defines the role of the accompanist and the evolution of the notation. The second part is devoted to the instructions given in methods and treatises and establishes links with foreign schools and the following century. Finally, the third part reconsiders the question of the accompaniment in the sonatas for keyboard and violin. The comparison between theoretical writings and scores finds a direct application in the continuo and keyboard accompaniment practice, and leads to the proposition of realisation models in accordance with the characteristics observed in the musical works of that period.

The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the experiences of male community service officers during midwifery clinical training. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual design was used in order to achieve the study objectives. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews. Data analysis elucidated analogous themes and categories which translated into the overall experiences of the participants. The study found that whilst the experience was described as beneficial, there were overwhelming challenges in providing intimate care to female clients, dealing with ethno-cultural aspects, meeting clinical practice requirements and the right to choose to be part of midwifery clinical training. Recommendations to nurse educators, clinical midwives and midwifery clinical supervisors with regard to better support for male nurses during midwifery clinical training emanated from the study findings / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)
