Psychologické souvislosti kariérového vzdělávání a kariérového poradenství u adolescentů / Psychological context of career education and career counselling in adolescenceVosmíková, Marie January 2022 (has links)
The diploma thesis deals with the psychological context of career counselling and education in adolescence. Today, only a minimal amount of research interest in the Czech Republic is devoted to career counselling and education, while in several developed countries of the world it is an important social science field. The aim of the diploma thesis is to provide recommendations for career education at secondary schools and to design intervention programs for career counselling for a group of secondary school students. The research questions seek to answer what variables play a role in high school career decision-making, what high school students expect from career guidance and education in schools, and the benefits of sharing a career decision-making process among peers. The qualitative research was chosen to answer the given research questions. Data were collected by the focus group method. The research project involved 29 students from three Prague grammar schools and one secondary vocational school. The results show that high school students' career decision-making is primarily influenced by their values, abilities and skills, interests, personality traits, perceived obstacles and barriers, and social effect. High school students expect guidance, information, acquaintance, a realistic perspective,...

Exploring the role of spirituality in coping of traffic officersJacobs, Rochelle 06 1900 (has links)
The main purpose of this study is to explore the role spirituality plays in the coping of traffic officers within the South African Traffic Services. A sample of ten traffic officers participated in the study, and data was obtained by means of open-ended questions during in-depth and semi-structured interviews. The literature review aimed to conceptualise spirituality, to conceptualise coping, and to theoretically explore the role of spirituality in the coping of traffic officers. Specific aims for the empirical study were: to gain a better understanding of how traffic officers experience the role of spirituality in coping with their role within the South African context; to provide a framework that can assist with creating an understanding of the role spirituality plays in coping as a traffic officer; and to formulate recommendations for possible future research that explores the role of spirituality in the coping of traffic officers within the discipline of Industrial and Organisational Psychology, more specifically in employee and organisational wellness, and career counselling.
The research findings showed that traffic officers in the sample all utilised spirituality in the workplace to various extents, and that they exhibited adaptive coping abilities when doing so. They associated less spirituality or a lack of spirituality with weaker coping abilities. It was found that spirituality in the traffic officers is informed by a foundation of spirituality or religion, purpose to their work and life, their connection to their spiritual source, and the fruits of spirituality. Their coping ability was influenced by upbringing and background, by stressors from their work environment and by coping mechanisms. The role of spirituality in the coping of traffic officers culminated in their ability to interpret the meaning of spirituality, and then to implement spirituality in order to cope. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M.

Preparing Employees for Entrepreneurship in Retirement: A Case StudyAikhuomogbe, Samuel Omonowa 01 January 2016 (has links)
In Nigeria, 92% of retirees live in poverty because of insufficient preparation for entrepreneurship that could serve as an alternative income in retirement. Guided by the human capital theory, the purpose of this case study was to explore how 15 civil service employees in Grade Levels 15-17 at the public service attained small scale business information before retirement. All employees had knowledge, training, and experience in small-scale business operation. Fifteen employees participated in individual interviews and 5 participated in a focus group; data were also gathered from, employee training records, organizational policy documents on training, and public service documents regarding capacity building. Using Yin's 5 step data analysis process, member checking, and triangulation, key findings emerged on financial institutions, mentoring, and vocational training opportunities as avenues employees can attain small scale business information required for entrepreneurship. The study findings may create awareness on how employees can attain small scale business information regarding sources of funding, mentorship, and vocational training during their final years of employment. This awareness may promote positive social change by preparing these individuals for entrepreneurship in retirement, thereby reducing the rate of post-retirement poverty.

"På egen hand skulle det nog inte ha gått" : Några deltagares upplevelse av arbetskonsulentens stöd i metoden Supported employment / "I probably wouldn´t have made it on my own" : A few participants experience of the support from the coach in the method Supported employmentIvemark, Åsa, Jansson, Josabet January 2011 (has links)
Delaktigheten på den öppna arbetsmarknaden är låg för personer med psykisk funktionsnedsättning. Metoden Supported employment (SE) har visat sig vara framgångsrik i att hjälpa denna målgrupp att nå, få och behålla ett arbete på den reguljära arbetsmarknaden. Fokus har i forskning riktats mot metodens effektivitet men denna studie inriktar sig på arbetskonsulentens stöd inom SE och syftet i studien är att utforska vad dennes stöd betyder för deltagaren i metoden. Kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts med tre deltagare och en gruppintervju med tre arbetskonsulenter. Det skräddarsydda, det instrumentella och det emotionella stödet samverkar och leder till empowerment för två deltagare, som har nått en praktikplats där de trivs och kommer till sin rätt. De upplever en större delaktighet, handlingskraft, en bättre självkänsla samt ett ökat psykiskt välbefinnande. Slutsatsen utifrån denna studie är att det emotionella stödet från arbetskonsulenten är en viktig grund för att lyckas med SE och konsulentens förmåga att balansera mängden stöd är centralt för deltagarens självständighet och möjlighet att nå empowerment. / Lack of participation in the open labor market is highly prevalent for people with mental illness. Vocational rehabilitation through Supported employment (SE) has shown to be an effective approach to improve employment outcomes. Research generally centres upon the effectiveness of the method. This study focuses on the support from the SE-coach and the aim is to investigate the meaning of this support to the participants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three participants and a group interview with three coaches. The emotional, tailored and instrumental supports were pointed out as being helpful. They interact and lead to empowerment for two of the participants who are now in work practice. They show satisfaction with their occupational situation and with being part of a social context. The participants express improvement in psychiatric symptoms, global functioning and self-esteem. The findings of this study highlight the importance of the emotional support from the SE-coach, and stress the ability of the coach to balance the amount of support given. This is crucial in order to facilitate the empowerment of the participants.

Livets Träd, en narrativ metod i karriärvägledning / Tree of Life, a narrative method in career counselingGarzena, Patrizia, Vitikainen, Veronica January 2014 (has links)
Syftet med studien är att utforska den narrativa arbetsmetoden Livets träd som karriärvägledningsinstrument och i vilka sammanhang metoden är som mest användbar inom vägledning. I undersökningen har vi använt en kvalitativ ansats med fyra enskilda intervjuer som datainsamlingsverktyg. Respondenter delar gemensamma drag angående det grundläggande syftet och utvärdering av metoden Livets träd. De menar att metoden bidrar till att stärka individers tro på sin egen förmåga. Genom bättre självkännedom får individen även en meningsfullhet i tillvaron och större möjligheter till att utforska sig själv och sina drömmar. Metoden i sig beskrivs som både filosofisk och kreativ, vilket gör att metoden inte passar alla, både vad som gäller deltagare och personal. För att arbetet i metoden ska ge bästa utdelning krävs det att man arbetat upp en trygghet inom gruppen. Det handlar om att både delge av sina egna tankar likväl som att få respons av de andra deltagarna. Metoden anses ha störst utvecklingsmöjligheter i arbetet med barn, vilket även är metodens ursprungliga målgrupp. Metoden passar även unga vuxna utan sysselsättning, ungdomar som lever i svåra familjeförhållanden, ensamkommande flyktingbarn, nyanlända invandrare, ungdomar som på grund av olika anledningar misslyckats att nå fullkomliga betyg på grundskola eller gymnasiet som tänkbara målgrupper och sammanhang för metoden. / The purpose of this study is to explore the application of the narrative method The Tree of Life as a career guidance instrument and to investigate the career counselling contexts in which the method could be most usable. As research strategy, we have chosen to perform a case study without intervention with four individual interviews as data collection method. The results show that the interviewees share common features regarding the fundamental purpose and the evaluation of the method The Tree of Life. They argue that the method helps to strengthen individuals’ belief in their own abilities. Through better self-knowledge individuals may perceive their life as more meaningful and they may get more opportunities to explore themselves and their dreams. The method itself is described as both philosophical and creative, which means that it cannot be applied automatically by all the counsellors and within every kind of target groups. The study shows that the method’s potential is better exploited when the counsellor succeeds in creating the appropriate sense of safeness within the group so that the participants can fully share the stories of their lives and get feedback from the others. According to the collected data, the method is considered to have its greatest potential for development in the work with children, who on the other hand have been its peculiar target group, since the method was developed in 2005. Nevertheless, the interviewees could see the method as applicable also within other target groups. They have referred in particular to young people who are neither in education nor in employment, to young people who live in a difficult family background, to unaccompanied refugee children, to newly arrived immigrants, and to youth who for various reasons are not able to fulfil their course of education.
