The non-formal adult (25-64 year olds) education in public and private teaching sectors on the basis of social and human capital, including both learners’ and non-formal education organizers’ situation is analyzed in this dissertational research. The specific purpose of this dissertation is seen through the reality that non-formal adult education is more oriented towards the expectations of employers for their employees’ better qualification(s) while placing the possibilities for personal growth and self-expression aside (i.e. escaping from human capital and putting the social capital into the first place). Also, the manifestations of social stratification in these processes are captured as well, by stressing such aspects as: the education of adult learners, the age factor and the sectors where adults work. While implementing the dissertational research, main statements to be defended were explored and confirmed as well: i) human capital remains more oriented towards social capital accumulation in the public and private sectors of non-formal adult education; ii) the differences between non-formal adult education public and private teaching sectors are rather slight. / Disertacijoje analizuojamas neformalusis suaugusiųjų (25-64 metų amžiaus) švietimas žmogiškojo ir socialinio kapitalo aspektu valstybiniame bei privačiame mokymo sektoriuose besimokančiųjų ir neformalųjį švietimą organizuojančių institucijų lygmenis.

Pharmacists experience high levels of stress at work, especially from factors intrinsic to their jobs and management roles. In South Africa, the public sector is confronted with situational difficulties such as a shortage of staff and poor working conditions Accordingly, a comparative survey was conducted using a self–constructed questionnaire to obtain individual responses from the pharmacists in the public, as well as the private sector. The focus population was the pharmacists in the public, as well as the private hospitals in the North–West Province. The public sector consists of 30 hospitals and the private sector of 20. By using the convenient sampling method, 100 samples were taken. The questionnaire measured six factors of job satisfaction, namely: job design, salary/remuneration satisfaction, performance management, working arrangements, organisational climate, and professional development. The questionnaire was distributed to 100 pharmacists in total, and a response rate of 66% was obtained. The only medium practical significance shown in the results was between the averages of the private sector (2.89) in contrast with the public sector (3.38). This indicates that the public sector demonstrates less satisfaction with their performance management than the private sector. The data also indicated that the public sector pharmacists are less satisfied with job design, performance of management, professional development, and their working arrangements. The private sector showed only a small difference in the means, when compared to the public sector. It is clear that both sectors illustrate a moderate level of job satisfaction. Recommendations, therefore, included the revisiting of the job design by increasing job rotation and task identity. The need for self–actualization has to be acknowledged and the opportunity for promotion needs to be provided. The link between the actual activity and the bonus, with regards to performance management, has to be re–established, and there has to be transparency throughout. Decision–making control is extremely important and seeing that 82% of the pharmacists were female, the employer can consider accommodating family responsibilities, compressed working weeks, flexible working hours, job sharing, and part–time work. Professional development is also very important within any company and it is vital that the employer deposits time, money and skill into the staff. / Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Sverige har gått från att ha varit ett homogent land till ett multikulturellt land på ett par decennier. Arbetsmarknaden har haft stor efterfrågan på arbetskraft där företagare har anställt arbetskraft från andra länder och fått en hög mångfald på sina arbetsplatser. Ekonomisk nedgång i samhället har påverkat arbetsmarknaden med hög arbetslöshet speciellt för invandrare.Syftet med vår studie är att undersöka hur mångfald diskursivt konstrueras av chefer och HR-ansvariga på arbetsplatsen. Frågeställningar i vår studie har varit att undersöka hur chefer och HR-specialister samarbetar kring mångfaldsplanen och om de ser för- och nackdelar med mångfald på sina arbetsplatser. Offentliga myndigheter har enligt lag skyldighet att upprätta en mångfaldsplan vart tredje år och aktivt arbeta för att främja mångfald medan den privata sektorn inte har sådana krav. En tredje frågeställning i vår studie är att jämföra om det finns skillnader mellan dessa två företag och hur de eventuellt ser ut. För att få svar på våra forskningsfrågor har vi använt oss av en kvalitativ studie med semistrukturerade frågor. Vi har intervjuat tre respondenter inom vardera offentlig och privat sektor, två chefer, två HR-specialister och två fackliga ombud. Resultat som framkommer är att de anställda ska ha rätt yrkeskompetens och att chefer inte fokuserar på den arbetssökandes etnicitet eller kulturella bakgrund. Viktigt är att de personer som söker arbete passar in i arbetslaget och har värderingar som stämmer överens med verksamheten. Samarbete mellan chefer och HR-specialister ser lite olika ut mellan företagen i vår studie, eventuellt beroende på skillnaden i storlek. Vår studie visar att mångfald som begrepp kan vara svårdefinierbart då det inte bara handlar om etnicitet och annan kulturell bakgrund. Alla respondenterna ser positivt på mångfald på arbetsplatsen och tycker att de positiva effekterna väger tyngre än de negativa. / Sweden has gone from being a homogenous country to being a multi-cultural country in a couple of decades. The labor market has had great demand for labor and entrepreneurs have hired labor from other countries. Today there is a higher level of diversity in workplaces. Economic decline in society has affected labor market with an impact of high unemployment, especially for immigrants.The purpose of our study is to examine how diversity is discursively constructed by managers and HR managers in the workplace using a norm-critical perspective.Question formulation in our study were to examine how managers and HR specialists collaborate on the diversity plan and if they see advantages and disadvantages of diversity in their workplaces. Public authorities have a statutory duty to establish a diversity plan every three years and work actively to promote diversity while the private sector does not have such requirements. A third question formulation in our study is to compare whether there are differences between these two companies and what they might look like. To get answers to our research questions, we used a qualitative study using semi-structured questions. We interviewed three respondents from public and three from private sectors, two managers, two HR specialists and two union representatives. A result that emerges is that employees should have the right professional skills and that managers do not focus on the job applicant's ethnicity or cultural background. Important is that the people who are looking for work blend in with the team and have values that match the business. Cooperation between managers and HR specialists are slightly different between the companies in our study, possibly due to the difference in size. Our study shows that diversity as a concept can be difficult to define because it is not just about ethnicity and cultural background. All respondents welcome diversity in the workplace and think that the positive effects outweigh the negative.

It also looks into the challenges it faces as a pioneer of third sector organizations in the tourism of Brazil. Taking this study as an initial stage, the objective is to pinpoint the role that third sector organizations may play in the development of the touristic activity in Brazil and identify the challenges they might face when operating in this new environment, traditionally shared by public and private sectors.

Public sector organisations are established in order to promote the quality of citizen's lives through the provision of public services. However, the demands for public services often outstrip the limited resources at the disposal of the public sector for the delivery of such services. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are emerging as an important tool of public policy to deliver public infrastructure and the attendant services. The main aim of this study is to establish the extent to which PPPs can be used to improve the quality of the delivery of secondary education in the Gaborone City area in Botswana. The study includes a conceptual analysis of the nature of the public services in general, and in particular, the nature and the provision of secondary education in Botswana with specific reference to the Gaborone City area. The study also includes a conceptual analysis of PPPs as gleaned from published literature. Various dimensions of PPPs are analysed and these include but are not limited to definitions, benefits, models and the antecedents for the successful implementation of PPPs. Among the various models that are analysed in the study, the design, build, operate and finance (DBOF) model is preferred for improving the quality of the delivery of secondary education in the Gaborone City area in Botswana. In addition to the conceptual analysis, an empirical research study is undertaken in which the secondary school heads are the respondents to a structured questionnaire. The results of the empirical research support the conceptual analysis to the extent that in both cases, it is possible to improve the quality of the delivery of secondary education through PPPs. More secondary schools can be built and more facilities be made available to schools. Through the use of PPPs, most if not all learners can receive the entire secondary education programme, from junior to senior secondary education. Existing secondary schools can be modernised through PPPs. Ancillary services can be delivered by the organisations that have the necessary expertise. Certain antecedents for the successful implementation of PPPs are necessary. Through PPPs, secondary schools can be made attractive and intellectually stimulating. / Public Administration and Management / (D.Litt. et Phil. ( Public Administration))

The work has as study object the relation between the public sector and private in oncology care and their implications for strengthening the capital project, and as general aim to review how the private sector has benefited from the oncology care policy in Brazil .There was, initially, a study about the relation State and Capital, explaining the changes in the capitalist mode of production, in the political and economic structures from the contemporary crisis of the capital, identifying the conflict relationship between these two sectors. For Research Development, it was used as methodological resource the literature search and the documentary research. The documentary research and the analysis were developed from primary sources data, official sources and organs of the nationally disseminate press. The period for gathering quantitative data side has been from 1998 to 2007. The historical-critical dialectic perspective is the referential used for research and for the exposure of the object studied. To qualify the public and private terms, it was taken as starting point the writings of classic authors such as Hannah Arendt, Habermas and Norberto Bobbio, and as analyzing reference the writings of contemporary Marxists authors, especially the theoretical contribution of Antonio Gramsci. It was then described the relation between public and private sectors in Brazilian healthy policy, making an analysis of oncology care, pointing the influences and the conditionalities of international agencies (IMF and WB) in the Brazilian state policies, identifying their interests and their intervention forms in the policies of oncology care, highlighting its guidelines for basic care, and middle and high complexity, especially the access and expansion projects to treatment of cancer, such as the Expansion Project of Assistance Oncology (EXPANDE), the Project " Strengthening the Reorganization of SUS "(REFORSUS) and the Project for retrofitting Hospital, besides encouraging the public-private partnerships in CACONs, UNACONs in itself and the National Cancer Institute - INCA. It follows that the evolution of the oncology care policies in Brazil - the result of the complex set of interests and contradictions that exist in the state - has been presented in two ways: on the one hand, the direction is the expansion of access to health services, for another, in line with the guidelines of the World Bank, it strengthens and it expands the private sector, in the state sector, for purchase of equipment, supplies and services, in the private sector. In both cases what is at stake is the commercial logic of Liberal State: the profit. / O trabalho tem como objeto de estudo a relação entre o setor público e o privado na atenção oncológica e suas implicações no fortalecimento do projeto do capital, e como objetivo geral analisar de que forma o setor privado tem se beneficiado com a política de atenção oncológica no Brasil. Realizou-se, inicialmente, um estudo acerca da relação Estado e Capital, explicitando as modificações ocorridas no modo de produção capitalista, nas estruturas políticas e econômicas a partir da crise contemporânea do capital, identificando a relação de conflito existente entre estes dois setores. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, utilizou-se como recurso metodológico a pesquisa bibliográfica e a pesquisa documental. A pesquisa documental e a análise foram desenvolvidas a partir de dados obtidos em fontes primárias, fontes oficiais e em órgãos de imprensa de divulgação nacional. O período da coleta de dados quantitativos secundários estendeu-se de 1998 a 2007. A perspectiva dialética histórico-crítica é o referencial utilizado para a realização da pesquisa e para a exposição do objeto estudado. Para qualificar os termos público e privado, foram tomados como ponto de partida os escritos dos autores clássicos como Hannah Arendt, Habermas e Norberto Bobbio, e como referência de análise os escritos de autores marxistas contemporâneos, em especial o aporte teórico de Antonio Gramsci. Em seguida, foi descrita a relação do setor público e privado na política de saúde brasileira, fazendo uma análise da atenção oncológica, apontando as influências e as condicionalidades dos organismos internacionais (FMI e BM) nas políticas estatais brasileiras, descortinando seus interesses e suas formas de intervenção na política de atenção oncológica, destacando suas orientações para a atenção básica, e de média e alta complexidade, principalmente os projetos de acesso e ampliação ao tratamento de câncer, como o Projeto de Expansão da Assistência Oncológica (EXPANDE), o Projeto "Reforço à Reorganização do SUS" (REFORSUS) e o Projeto de Reequipamento Hospitalar, além do incentivo às parcerias público-privadas nos CACONs, UNACONs e no próprio Instituto Nacional de Câncer INCA. Conclui-se que a evolução da política de atenção oncológica no Brasil resultado do complexo jogo de interesses e contradições existentes no Estado tem se apresentado sob dois vieses: por um lado, segue em direção à ampliação do acesso aos serviços de saúde; por outro, em consonância com as orientações do Banco Mundial, fortalece e expande o setor privado, seja no setor estatal, via compra de equipamentos, insumos e serviços, seja no setor privado. Em ambos os casos o que está em jogo é a lógica mercantilista do Estado Liberal: o lucro.
