Vem påverkar vad jag ska kompetensutveckla? : En kvalitativ studie om chefers upplevelser kring den egna kompetensutvecklingen / Who affects what I should develop? : A qualitative study of managers' experiences about their competence development

Wäring, Emily, Nieminen, Jennifer January 2018 (has links)
Kompetensutveckling är en viktig del i dagens föränderliga samhälle. Syftet med studien var att undersöka chefers upplevelser kring vem och vad som styr samt driver den egna kompetensutvecklingen. Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ metod där chefer från en kommunal organisation och en privat organisation har intervjuats och ett jämförande perspektiv mellan organisationerna har tagits i beaktande. Ett hermeneutiskt tillvägagångssätt har använts och teman identifierades utifrån chefernas upplevelser. Resultatet påvisade att den egna påverkan var den största påverkansfaktorn på chefers kompetensutveckling men att cheferna även upplevde personalens behov, HR och verksamhetens behov som betydelsefulla påverkansfaktorer. Andra utmärkande teman som uppmärksammades av cheferna som påverkansfaktorer var: den egna chefen, organisationen samt myndigheter. Ämnet kring vad som upplevs styra och driva chefers kompetensutveckling är mindre beforskat och studien bidrar till djupare förståelse och en grund för vidare forskning. / Competence development is an important part of today's changing society. The purpose of the study was to investigate managers' experiences of who and what directs and drive their competence development. The study was conducted through a qualitative method in which managers from a municipal organization and a private organization have been interviewed and a comparative perspective between the organizations has been considered. A hermeneutical approach has been used and themes were identified based on the experiences of the managers. The results showed that their own impact was the greatest factor of influence on the managers' competence development. However, they also experienced the needs of staff, HR and the business' needs as significant impact factors. Other distinctive themes that were noted by the managers as impact factors were: their own manager, the organization and the authorities. Research on what is perceived to direct and drive managers' competence development is scarce and the study contributes to deeper understanding and a foundation for further research.

An Investigation into Human Resource Development (HRD) Needs of Nurses. The Case of Public Health Sector, Pakistan.

Shahzad, Rana U. January 2020 (has links)
The research investigates the health services of Pakistan by exploring current Human Resource Development (HRD) practices and social skills training opportunities for the development of nursing staff. The research aims to explore the best practice in social skills and competency development through HRD activities by detailing a project to identify the learning needs of registered nurses leading to improved quality care services. An exploratory research approach has been adopted to achieve research objectives. This mixed method oriented research, is primarily quantitative case study, supplemented by qualitative interviews to validate and enrich data findings from questionnaires to substantiate the research. The data was collected through 600 questionnaires and 10 interviews from five major public hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan. The research has identified multiple and diverse challenges of inadequate and improper HRD infrastructure, transformational leadership and participative style of management is resulting into degenerating attitudes and negative behaviours thus causing further slump. These counterproductive elements are failing to imbibe positive social skills and abilities in nursing staff resulting in creating impediments in deliverance of quality care services. This clearly indicates that there is no policy in place therefore, based on empirical evidences, as well as critical review of the literature, it proposes a model for achieving critical social skills development through training and development in order to achieve quality care standards based on the broad and long-term perspective of the strategy of input, process, output and outcome to support nursing sector, social skills development in particular to achieve optimum quality care objectives.

Human resources development (HRD) for effective localisation of workforces : an empirical study for identifying the key success factors for the energy sector in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)

Al-Marzouqi, Yehya January 2010 (has links)
The objective of the current study is to explore and identify the Critical Success Factors (CSFs), which impact upon the effective implementation of Human Resource Development (HRD) initiatives in support of nationalisation, and to recommend a model for practical application and future research. Accordingly the study focused on identifying and analysing the various factors in the localisation of a workforce with regard to five broad categories, namely: national level factors, organisational (policies and practices related) factors, organisational (HR related) factors, individual level (expatriate and experienced staff related) factors and individual level (UAE national related) factors. The data for the study was collected using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods were used to develop an in-depth case study of the Emiratisation process in an oil and gas organisation, as well as for identifying the critical success factors to be included in the survey questionnaire for collecting the quantitative data. The results of the study indicated that the critical success factors identified in the study are part of a complicated reality and need to be managed to ensure success of the localisation of a workforce. The mean scores obtained on the various factors differed significantly across the organisations or sub groups of respondents used in the study. This indicates that the impact of various factors that facilitate or constrain the localisation efforts are highly contextual and organisation specific. The findings of the study revealed valuable insights that could enrich not only future research in the area, but also the practical application of HR tools and methods to support the localisation process. The current study also developed a model for practical application and future research in the area. The model identified the role of HR strategies and tools as critical for managing the CSFs and ensuring the success of the process of localisation. The model developed in the current study also emphasises the need to define the 'success' of localisation in much broader terms, by addressing complex issues such as, employee morale and motivation, expectations of all employees, including expatriates and so forth, rather than just focusing on the number of UAE nationals employed and their competencies. The current study also identified some of the limitations of the study and highlighted suggestions for future research.
