Idag börjar personliga tränare kännas igen som en stor del av friskvården och har nu uppmärksammats vara en resurs för att främja hälsa. Syftet med detta arbete är att studera personliga tränares erfarenhet av hälsa när det kommer till utbildning, sin egen hälsa och hälsa i relation till sitt yrke. Det genomfördes fem individuella intervjuer med personliga tränare för att samla in material. Intervjuerna transkriberades och resultatet tematiserades där kärncitat valdes ut för att illustrera var tema. Resultatet analyserades och diskuterades utifrån dessa teman med en teoretisk utgångspunkt komponerad genom begrepp av Pierre Bourdieu. Resultatet av intervjuerna visar på en helhetsyn av hälsa. Hälsan ses som en resurs för att kunna leva livet. Den hälsa de olika personliga tränarna upplever är något som formats under livs- och yrkeserfarenhet. Under sina utbildningar till PT (personlig tränare) upplevde ingen av informanterna att deras syn på hälsa förändrades. Det fanns även en frånvaro i utbildningarna av vad hälsa är. Det framgår att hälsoarbetet är en strävan efter att må bra. Detta genom att finna det som gör att en mår bra men även finna det som skapar ohälsa och behandla detta. Personliga tränare jobbar med ett helhetsperspektiv på hälsa. Det framgår även att de under sina respektive utbildningar inte erhöll något lärande i vad hälsa är eller innebär. Under utbildningarna förändrades inte heller deras syn på hälsa. I arbetet med sina klienter framgår det att de både jobbar utifrån vad som skapar hälsa respektive ohälsa, men att det som skapar hälsa är i fokus. Den breda synen på hälsa kan bidra i hälsoarbetet då den erbjuder möjligheten att lättare identifiera påverkningsfaktorer av hälsa respektive ohälsa hos kunderna.

Allt fler organisationer strävar idag efter att skapa mångfald på arbetsplatsen. Tidigare forskning indikerar positiva effekter för de organisationer som har lyckats med implementeringen av mångfaldsinitiativ, såsom förbättrat finansiellt resultat och ökade marknadsandelar till följd av en bredare kundbas. Implementeringen av mångfaldsinitiativ är dock förknippad med en hel del svårigheter. Tidigare studier har bland annat visat att organisationens storlek, begränsad tillgång till resurser och en oförmåga att acceptera mångfaldsinitiativ kan utgöra barriärer till en lyckad implementering. Syftet med studien är således att utforska de största barriärerna till att implementera centrala mångfaldsinitiativ i en stor organisation. Resultatet av studien ger stöd för tidigare forskning samt belyser nya barriärer som kan utgöra hinder vid implementeringen av mångfaldsinitiativ. De barriärer som upplevdes som störst var en oförmåga att förstå mångfald, olika typer av rädsla hos organisationens medlemmar och brist på engagemang hos högsta ledningen. Studien ämnar även ge förslag på hur organisationer kan komma över de största barriärerna. Resultatet av studien visar att både inspirerande och styrande lösningar kan fungera som potentiella lösningar men att det troligen krävs en balans mellan dessa.

Personal tutoring is a term commonly used in the policy and practice of higher education. Extant literature utilizes the term, but there is no common understanding of its ethos within the higher education profession. Consequently the tacit nature, purpose and outcomes of one-to-one interactions between tutors and students, which have been at the heart of UK higher education since medieval times, risk invasion by policy imperatives such as employability and student retention, or risk marginalization as off-stage activities that occur in invisible space at the periphery of higher education practice. The thesis begins by exploring research and literature on the social and institutional contexts of activities which involve personal, supportive interaction between tutors and students, alongside literature on emotion work and emotional labour, counselling supervision and therapy culture, using a theoretical lens of critical social interactionism. This produced themes which were used to frame part of the data production and analysis. The purpose of the research is to explore the essence of the personal tutorial from the tutor’s practice perspective, and to locate this in its social and institutional contexts, enabling tutors to illuminate the essence of practice that takes place behind closed doors. The focus of data production is the reflective accounts of tutors participating in the study. Ten participants from a range of UK universities produced brief written reflections about one-to-one interactions with students, followed by an individual interaction between researcher and participant, based on exploring the written reflection. These methods are underpinned by critical theory which relates to the emancipatory, transformative outcomes of facilitated critical reflective practice. Participants revealed critical reflection is unlikely to occur in the absence of facilitation. The opportunity for tutors to take part in facilitated, critical reflective practice to explore personal interactions with students produced awareness of what shapes the nature and outcomes of personal tutoring, often resulting in transformation and articulation of practice. Contextualization by participants tended to be limited to institutional and personal factors, there was less engagement with wider social policy issues. There was little evidence that participants were aware of literature and practice models relating to personal tutoring, and little evidence of professional development opportunities in this area. Practice generally occurred in invisible space and time, and tended to be based on personal judgement rather than practice ethos. If personal tutoring is to become established as an essential practice at the heart of higher education, action will be needed to recognize and value its ethos, including social and pedagogical purpose.

This study evaluates demographic and attitudinal characteristics that explain variations in perceived financial condition (PFC) of Navy enlisted personnel using data from the 1999 Department of Defense (DoD) Survey of Active Duty Personnel (ADS). The ADS includes questions about: background information, economic issues, family information, programs and services, military life, career information, and assignment information. Two ordinal logistic regression models were estimated and used to explain variations in the PFC levels of married and single marital status samples of 2,362 and 1,309 U.S. Navy enlisted personnel, respectively. Results provide evidence that PFC levels are significantly affected by dependents, job satisfaction, household residence type, race/ethnicity, time away from homeport (married only), education (single only), paygrade, age, and pecuniary characteristics (gross income, savings, unsecured debt). Further study is recommended to incorporate PFCs into cost estimates addressing the full impact of financial problems. Additional study is also recommended to refine demographic profiles in targeting persons who may benefit most from financial counseling, military housing, and DoD college programs.
