This is a case study of the administration and organization of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), a prominent Chinese university operating under the State Education Commission of China. The prime objective of the research was to understand how a modern Chinese university is governed at the cultural level---what are the implicit governing assumptions of the upper level administrators? An objective of the completed study is to promote international understanding of Chinese higher education in light of China's 1985 education reform. / Data was gathered during eight months of fieldwork conducted in the 1995 academic year. More than one hundred interviews were conducted. Documents in the University Archives were searched. My prior experience was drawn upon, as I had studied and worked at HUST for eleven years. / After a brief description of the history and the campus of the university, the study includes selected major aspects of the administration of HUST including: student affairs, quality control in teaching, the academic echelon (a form of research team), academic personnel, social services, finance, and the Chinese Communist Party role in management. / The concluding chapter presents an ideal-type framework to describe HUST's administration. It has three concepts: institutionalized elitism, the danwei system, and a collectivism vision of management. The institutionalized elitism refers to the institutions for selection, training, utilizing, and honoring the best. The danwei system is defined as a working/living community under a single authority. Organizationally, it supports the institutions of elitism. Both concepts are based upon a collectivism vision, that is, a collective should take care of the interests of both the collective and its members, and the collective interests are supreme over individual interests. These ideas strongly conform to the Grand Union (datong), a utopian ideal of Confucianism. Although many changes have occurred in HUST since 1985, the features mentioned are unlikely to disappear in the near future. Knowing these features should help people in working with people in China, and monitoring the changes should be a help in predicting the progress of China.

Satsningar för att skapa en god hälsa för arbetstagare har blivit allt mer viktiga och har kommit att bli en ny dimension på arbetsplatsen. På Barn- och ungdomsförvaltningen i Karlstad kommun finns friskvårdssatsningen Qom i Gong som är till för att inspirera arbetstagarna till ett hälsosammare liv. Deras hälsofrämjande aktiviteter har visat sig ha främst tre positiva effekter för förvaltningen. För det första fungerar de som en språngbräda för att de anställda ska få upp ögonen för hälsoarbete och nya aktiviteter. För det andra har deras hälsoarbete även en positiv effekt ute på arbetsplatserna genom att de bidrar till en ökad effektivitet och produktivitet. För det tredje kan Qom i Gong dessutom hjälpa de anställda att sätta upp och genomföra mål rörande det personliga välbefinnandet. Viljan att delta i hälsofrämjande arbete som anordnas av arbetsplatsen ser olika ut och det är viktigt för arbetsgivare att acceptera arbetstagarnas olika förutsättningar för att kunna motivera till ett deltagande. Resultatet visar på fyra primära faktorer som är viktiga för att få de anställda motiverade; sociala faktorer, utvecklingsfaktorer, hälsofrämjande faktorer samt intresseinriktade faktorer. Alla faktorerna är relaterade till inre motivation vilket innebär att personerna väljer att delta i Qom i Gongs aktiviteter för att de vill, inte för att de måste. Det innebär även att motivationsfaktorerna först blir relevanta när de som deltar är medvetna om vad Qom i Gongs verksamhet handlar om. De främsta hindren för att inte delta i hälsofrämjande aktiviteter är de ökade kraven i dagens arbetsliv, vilket dels gör att tiden inte alltid räcker till samt att de ökar stresspåslaget hos de anställda. Det påverkar gränsen mellan arbete och privatliv vilket innebär att en del av arbetstagarna tar med sig arbetet hem när dagen är slut. Det leder i sin tur till att tiden inte finns över till att träna på egen hand utan energin läggs på arbetsuppgifterna. För att förstå vad de hälsofrämjande aktiviteterna kan ha för positiva effekter på den egna prestationen och välbefinnandet är det viktigt att det finns en ledare som kan förmedla den medvetenheten. Oavsett om ledarrollen tas av chefen eller flyttas längre ner i organisationen är det genom den som nyttan kan förmedlas för att öka ett intresse. Hos Qom i Gong är det främst inspiratörerna som tar rollen som en bra ledare och inspirerar och informerar kollegor om deras verksamhet. Det måste finnas en förståelse för att alla på företaget tjänar på att ha en god arbetsmiljö.

Quando tornadas crônicas, modificam o movimento humano em si e as relações com o meio externo. O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar os efeitos do Lian Gong em 18 Terapias sobre a relação tensão muscular/estados de ânimo, em indivíduos de 30 a 60 anos. A amostra foi composta por 30 participantes distribuídos em quatro grupos, de acordo com o tempo de prática desta abordagem. A coleta dos dados foi efetuada através de questionários com perguntas abertas e de múltipla escolha: o primeiro diagnóstico e o segundo referente às práticas do Lian Gong. Esta pesquisa foi de natureza exploratória e os dados foram investigados qualitativa e quantitativamente, através de uma análise de conteúdo. As unidades de registro basearam-se em temas relacionados a sentimentos, comportamentos, opiniões e atitudes; e como unidade de contexto, cada questão referente aos dois questionários, distribuídos em sete categorias. Os resultados revelam que o Lian Gong em 18 Terapias é um sistema de auto-organização corporal e favorece a prevenção e a terapia. As 1a, 2a, 3a e 4a séries demonstram um relacionamento maior com a tensão muscular e estados de ânimo. A maioria dos participantes pensa e pratica o Lian Gong como forma de auto-ajuda, leveza, bem-estar, para diminuir a tensão e aliviar as dores no corpo; os participantes sentem-se mais alegres, dispostos, equilibrados, com energia, tranqüilos e auto-regulados; sentem-se mais relaxados, mais ágeis e mais flexíveis. Socialmente sentem-se mais extrovertidos, comunicativos, abertos para fazerem novas amizades e em relação ao comportamento familiar, mais calmos, pacientes, compreensivos... / The experiences of the state of spirit takes the individual to structure itself physically and to reveal physiological reactions that organize, disorganize and reorganize the muscular tensions.
