Career choice : drift, desire or decision. Factors influencing career choice of year 12 students in A.C.T. catholic schoolsMuller, Karl, n/a January 1987 (has links)
Year 12 has been identified as a critical decision
point in the career decision making process for students.
Students have been found to make decisions in different
ways some having already defined goals for the future
others are doubtful and make tentative goals.
At the end of Year 12 students are faced with the task
of career decision. During the final two weeks of year 12
these students will have to make choices about their
imminent future that is whether to do tertiary
studies/seek apprenticeships look for immediate employment
or defer studies for a time and seek employment. A review of
major theories relating to career determination was
undertaken. Decision-making theories have identified twelfth
grade/age range 16 - 18 years, as being one of the critical
decision periods for an adolescent. 355 A.C.T. Year 12
students from Catholic Colleges were given a questionnaire
designed to probe students' self awareness in relation to
study habits coping abilities, as well as a description of
some of their personal qualities relating to school life,
subject interest, and career benefits derived from the
future career considered. The information gained from the
Questionnaire was reduced to a number of sets of
relationships by factor analysis. The personal factors of
subject interest, career benefits and further study
interests were examined by canonical correlation techniques
with Career Types.
Students with an interest in scientific careers
exhibited an interest in the physical science subjects.
Those with an expressed interest in a blend of science and
expressive arts career were a group of students with
creative ideas / leadership aspirations,an interest in
cultural and physical science subject, and a desire for
further- studies. Another group of year 12 students involving
more girls than boys showed an interest in a cluster of
careers with a social involvement component but a rejection
of routine activities. Students with an interest in
environmental subjects with a possession of management and
living skills looked towards careers that provided out of
doors activities involving social work and selling. There
was a positive correlation between these personal factors
and the students' choice of a career.

Intuitive judgment and building initial trust in online vendorsRoghanizad, Mohammad-Mahdi 18 January 2012 (has links)
The importance of trust in Electronic Commerce (EC) has been addressed for about two decades and various theories have been applied to investigate the issue. In spite of a consensus among researchers of trust in a website being a risky decision, they have neither applied decision making theories (e.g. two systems of reasoning) in the context nor created a risky situation when examining their hypotheses about trust in EC. Instead, the decision is implicitly assumed to be deliberative although not enough evidences have been collected to support the assumption.
An in-lab experiment was conducted to investigate the above shortcomings in the literature. Findings show that unlike the current belief, intuition (and not deliberation), is the dominant decision making process when trusting an unknown website in a risky situation. The level of trust is significantly different when risk is not involved. In addition, one of the well-established constructs, “situational decision making to trust”, was not confirmed by the collected data in the risky situation. The results conflict with EC and trust literature and clarify the crucial role of risk in decision making to trust. Hence, the studies that have measured and validated trust and related constructs without the actual risky situation might need to be reconsidered.

Pour une compréhension du processus de révélation institutionnelle du handicap : de l'enseignement supérieur à l'intégration du monde professionnel / Toward an understanding of institutional disability disclosure process : from university to workplace integrationRichard, Sarah 10 June 2016 (has links)
A la suite des deux Guerres Mondiales, la considération sociétale du handicap a évoluée. Les Etats ont peu à peu promulgué des lois antidiscriminatoires et mis en place un ensemble de politiques publiques en sa faveur. Pour profiter des politiques publiques établies, il est néanmoins nécessaire que le handicap soit déclaré institutionnellement. Néanmoins, ce processus n’est pas systématique, le handicap étant souvent dissimulé, et ce, dès le cursus d’étude. Dans cette optique, et en nous appuyant sur les théories de la décision, l’objectif de la thèse est de comprendre le fonctionnement de la révélation institutionnelle du handicap des étudiants. Nous avons conduit une étude qualitative, basée sur la conduite d’entretiens semi-directifs, de récits de vie, d’observations participantes et d’analyses de données secondaires. Nos résultats montrent que différentes raisons individuelles et environnementales influent sur la propension à la révélation. Les conséquences de la décision s’analysent en termes de confirmation et de disconfirmation des attentes initiales. La décision se matérialise également par l’adoption de quatre stratégies de révélation. / Following two World Wars, the societal consideration of disability has considerably evolved. Most of countries have implemented national disability policies in order to improve disabled people professional integration. Nevertheless, in order to be part of such policies, disability first needs to be institutionally disclosed. Institutional disclosure is far from being automatic as disability is frequently concealed since university. In this perspective, based on the decision making theories this thesis aims at understanding the institutional disclosure process. We focus on the specific case of students with disabilities. A qualitative study based on semi structured interviews, life story interviews, participant observations and secondary data analysis has been conducted. Our results show that several individual and environmental reasons affect disclosure motivations. The consequences of disclosure can be analyzed in terms of expectancies confirmation and disconfirmation. Finally disclosure follows four distinctive strategies.

Infrastructure in proximity of railways - External environmental monitoring and risk analysis // Infrastruktur i närheten av järnvägar - Extern miljöövervakning och riskanalys : A document and comparative analysis conducted at Trafikverket; risk analysis of infrastructure in close proximity of railwaysJöhnemark, Viktor January 2024 (has links)
This thesis investigates international railway safety regulations and spatial planning, with a focus on the spatial relationships between railways and adjacent roads. Employing a methodological framework rooted in comparative and document analyses, the study critically evaluates regulatory frameworks from five nations: Sweden, Canada, Norway, Germany, and China. Through the lens of Risk Assessment and Management Theories, Resilience Theory, and dynamic risk management frameworks, the research discuss how different countries approach risk identification, assessment, and mitigation strategies within their railway infrastructure. The findings highlight variations in regulatory approaches and underscore the importance of adaptability, transparency, and consideration of spatial dynamics in enhancing railway safety. By synthesising perceptions from international practices, this study contributes valuable perspectives to the ongoing discourse on optimal spatial relationships in railway infrastructure, with implications for policy development and strategic planning within the transportation sector. / Trafikverket.
