Vliv způsobů vedení na postoj zaměstnanců k učení se / Leadership and its impact on employees' approach towards learning

Palečková, Karolína January 2013 (has links)
The attention toward organizational learning has increased in last twenty years according to present studies and researches. Organizations have to cope with rapidly changing world and they have to find ways how to succeed in it. This study endeavors to find answers whether and how learning can be supported and accepted in the working environment and what can be improved to do so. Leaders are put into the centre of the interest due to their close effect on their followers. The subject of the study is a Czech located branch of a Dutch bank. The participants of the study come from one of the department. The investigation took place in a form of structured interviews. The results showed that leaders' behavior that was oriented toward learning could significantly influence learning of the subordinates. It was also found that transformational leadership style was applied more often than other styles of leadership by the leaders. Learning was perceived very positively by all the respondents. The study suggests possible implications and a potential future research orientation. Key words Leadership, leaders, workplace learning, improving learning

Innovation in university computer-facilitated learning systems: product, workplace experience and the organisation

Fritze, Paul A. Unknown Date (has links) (PDF)
This thesis reports on the development of a generic online system to support learning and teaching at the University of Melbourne. New online technologies, the fostering of innovation at national and university levels and my position within a central educational unit provided the opportunity in 1996 to adapt a previous software package for online use. My observations of the problematic nature of computer-facilitated learning (CFL) production led me to take an open approach to the development, seeking both a practical product and enhanced understanding. A series of formative questions defined the scope and goals of the study, which were to: *produce a generic online learning system; *increase understanding of the workplace experience of that development; and *develop an organisational model for the further development of generic CFL systems. Given this multi-disciplinary focus, many paradigms in the literature could potentially have guided the study. A number of these aligning with the research purposes, context and constructivist philosophy of the study, were reviewed from the perspectives of learning, CFL development and the organisation.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Sergio Ademar Fonseca.pdf: 2756550 bytes, checksum: 66734502220d0ef022d594bb83032ef9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-08-07 / Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa / This dissertation had the objective of studying individual learning at organizations. The aim was to investigate how the learning processes of the shop floor activities are at the company where the research was carried out. The general objective was related to the comprehension of the learning process and the professional paths of a group of employees in their activity in the production area in a chemical industry. As specific objectives three targets were defined, fist of all was to describe the learning process adopted by the company from the time when the employee is hired until he is promoted to shift supervisor, then understand how the learning process occurs taken into consideration the employees point of view and finally to identify learning experiences lived on the shop floor that contributes to the development of the employee until he reaches the supervisory of shift level. To reach those objectives, the qualitative methodology was chosen due to the character of the research, which focused on the description and on the understanding of the learning and the development of a specific group of workers. To understand the learning process, documents related to the strategy adopted by the company were analyzed and interviews were conducted with the employees. Fifteen employees, members of a specific production area of the chemical company, were interviewed. The results of the research indicates that the learning process occurs due to the interactions of the learners with their individual characteristics, with propellers and generators of new learning, those together with the environment, the social worlds (STRAUSS, 2006; ELKJAER, 2004; 2008) and due to the participation of the workers on the processes and information and knowledge sharing in the production area. Authors that guided the research and analyses were: Malcom Knowles (1980) on relation to Andragogy, Knud Illeris (2004), regarding the adult learning and learning at work place, David Kolb (1984), related to experiential learning, Donald Alan Schön (2007) in relation to the knowing and reflection-in-action and the importance of the reflection the professional actions and Bente Elkjaer (2001; 2004) for the social theory of learning at organizations. / Este trabalho teve por objetivo estudar a aprendizagem individual nas organizações, buscando compreender como se dá o processo de aprendizagem das atividades operacionais na trajetória profissional dos operários na empresa pesquisada? O objetivo geral estabelecido foi o de compreender o processo de aprendizagem de um grupo de operários no exercício de suas atividades na área de produção de uma empresa química. Como objetivos específicos, foram definidos primeiramente descrever os processos de formação profissional adotados pela empresa desde a admissão do empregado até a sua promoção ao nível de supervisão, depois compreender como ocorre a aprendizagem a partir do ponto de vista dos indivíduos submetidos aos processos acima mencionados e finalmente identificar as experiências de aprendizagem vivenciadas na área produtiva que contribuem para a trajetória do indivíduo até o nível de supervisão de turnos de trabalho. Para que estes objetivos pudessem ser atingidos, optou-se por uma metodologia de natureza qualitativa, a qual se justificou em função do foco de interesse estar voltado para a descrição e o entendimento do processo de aprendizagem e de desenvolvimento de um grupo de trabalhadores. Buscou-se alcançar este entendimento a partir da análise dos processos de formação a que estes trabalhadores estão envolvidos, a partir de suas falas, da análise da documentação e dos programas de formação adotados pela empresa. Os participantes da pesquisa, num total de quinze, são membros de um grupo, dentro de uma área específica de produção de uma empresa do ramo químico. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que as aprendizagens ocorrem a partir da interação dos aprendizes por meio de componentes individuais, que envolvem a presença de propulsores e geradores de novas aprendizagens, em conjunto com o ambiente e os mundos sociais (STRAUSS, 2006; ELKJAER, 2004; 2008) por meio da participação dos operários nos processos e trocas presentes no ambiente produtivo. Os principais autores que nortearam as buscas no campo e as análises dos achados são: Malcom Knowles (1980) no que diz respeito à Andragogia, Knud Illeris (2004), em relação à aprendizagem de adultos no local de trabalho, David Kolb (1984), em questões relacionadas à aprendizagem experiencial, Donald Alan Schön (2007) em relação ao conhecer-na-ação, a reflexão-na-ação e a importância da reflexão para a prática profissional e Bente Elkjaer (2001; 2004) para a teoria social da aprendizagem nas organizações.

Aprendizagem da função gerencial em bancos

Hito, Silvia Cristina 26 August 2011 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-15T19:25:35Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Silvia Cristina Hito.pdf: 1083659 bytes, checksum: 2ceabebed22e3541d795767f0a4916c1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-08-26 / Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa / This research had the overall goal understanding how the learning process of managerial function occurs in banks. To achieve the overall aim, two specific goals were defined. First specific goal: compare managers function by identification and descrition of tasks/responsabilities of relationship/accounts managers from a public and a private bank. Second specific goal: identify, describe and compare the learning process of relationship/accounts managers from a public and a private bank. This study contributes to an understudied field in an area of great economic importance in Brazil, which are banks. Were found only four related research, but with different audiences, and none of them brought comparison of learning process in institutions from different origins. Theories and concepts that have underpinned this research were: learning at work and the theory of formal and informal learning. The choice of learning at work theory occurred because of it taking into consideration factors beyond the intrinsic learning of employees and environmental conditions, a critical point in the search organizations, particularly in banks, the site of this study. The research was a descriptive and exploratory, it adopted a qualitative perspective and developed according to the assumptions of the basic or generic qualitative study , so that the objective was reached. The basic strategy for data collection was done through interviews, and the informal observations of the workplace and consultation on the banks websites were used to support analysis. The creation of codes in principle deductive and subsequently analytical contributed to the organization, analysis and creation of hierarchical categories and subcategories. In both of banks it was verified that manager s tasks and responsibilities had few similarity with manager s function defined by Fayol (1994). The survey revealed that participants learned human and technical skills through various forms of informal learning. In both banks the technical tasks learning occurred through consultation support tools and colleagues/expert, in addition to the error, but there was difference in the hierarchy of them. In relation to the learning of human skills, the observation and managers guidance, and reflection were specially quoted. It was perceived that the stressful environment of agencies make it difficult to learn or improve it. The stress in Public Bank is more related to lack of time due to various tasks and pressure to achieve goals, and the type of management, and in the Private Bank is more connected to the pressure to achieve goals. Were also identified in the two banks some influential factors in learning, how: to like, to need and believe in the task. And there were some indications of different forms of learning as age result. Requiring more detailed research on this issue. / Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral compreender como ocorre o processo de aprendizagem de gerentes de bancos. Para o alcance do objetivo geral, foram definidos dois objetivos específicos. Primeiro objetivo específico: comparação da função gerencial por meio da identificação e descrição das tarefas/responsabilidades dos gerentes de relacionamento/contas de um banco banco público e de um banco privado. Segundo objetivo específico: identificação, descrição e comparação do processo de aprendizagem dos gerentes de relacionamento/contas de um banco público e de um banco privado. Este estudo traz contribuições a um campo pouco estudado em um setor de grande importância econômica no Brasil, que são os Bancos. Foram encontradas apenas quatro pesquisas relacionadas ao tema, porém com públicos diferentes e nenhuma delas trazia uma comparação do processo de aprendizagem de instituições de diferentes origens. As teorias e conceitos que embasaram esta pesquisa foram: a aprendizagem no trabalho e a teoria de aprendizagem formal e informal. A escolha da aprendizagem no trabalho ocorreu pelo fato de levar em consideração, além dos fatores intrínsecos de aprendizagem dos colaboradores, aspectos do ambiente, ponto esse fundamental no setor pesquisado, em especial nas agências bancárias, local desse estudo. A pesquisa de caráter descritivo-exploratório, adotou a perspectiva qualitativa e desenvolveu-se segundo as premissas do estudo qualitativo básico ou genérico , para que o objetivo fosse atingido. A estratégia fundamental de coleta de dados se deu pela realização de entrevistas, porém a observação informal dos locais de trabalho e consulta nos sites dos bancos envolvidos também foram utilizados para apoio e análises. A criação de códigos a princípio dedutivos e posteriormente analíticos contribuiu à organização, análise e criação de categorias e subcategorias hierárquicas. Verificou-se que nos dois Bancos as tarefas/responsabilidades dos gerentes de relacionamento/contas pouco se aproximam das funções gerenciais definidas por Fayol (1994). E em relação à aprendizagem a pesquisa revelou que os participantes aprenderam habilidades técnicas e humanas por meio de diferentes formas de aprendizagem informal. Nos dois Bancos o aprendizado das tarefas técnicas ocorreu pela consulta em ferramentas de suporte e com colegas/expert, além do erro, porém houve diferença na hierarquia das mesmas. Em relação ao aprendizado de habilidades humanas, se verificou em especial a observação e orientação de gestores e a reflexão. Foi percebido que o ambiente estressante das agências dificulta o aprendizado ou seu aprimoramento. No Banco Público o estresse está mais relacionado à falta de tempo devido às várias tarefas e pressão por metas, e pelo tipo de gestão, e no Banco Privado mais ligado à pressão por metas. Foram também identificados nos dois Bancos alguns fatores influenciadores na aprendizagem como gostar ou não da tarefa, a necessidade de realizá-la e a crença positiva na sua importância. E houve alguns indícios de diferentes modos de aprendizagem em decorrência da faixa etária, sendo necessárias pesquisas que se aprofundem nesta questão.
