11	The meaning of work for South African women graduates: a phenomenological study Person, Kerrin 30 June 2003 (has links) Despite the feminisation of the workplace as one of the key developments of this domain, the meaning of work for women is little understood. A phenomenological approach was adopted in this study to gain in-depth understanding of the meaning ascribed to work by a sample of ten South African, women graduates. Literature was used to generate three models - a male-centred, stereotyped and contemporary conceptualisation. Unstructured interviews were conducted and the protocols analysed using the modified Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method (Creswell, 1998; Stones, 1985; 1986). Themes illustrated that the meaning of work for women is multifaceted and comprises a number of components including sense of identity and self-worth, meeting instrumental needs, social relatedness, serving others, intrinsic satisfaction and the exercise of power and authority. Findings suggested that the meaning women ascribe to work changes when they experience autonomy. Recommendations were made for future research and organisational practices. / Indust & Org Psychology / MA(IND AND ORG PSYCHOLOGY) Meaning work women qualitative research phenomenology female-centred research stereotypes unstructured interviews the self as instrument autonomy identity self-worth instrumental needs intrinsic satisfaction relationships at work serving and caring for others power and authority 331.40968 Work--Psychological aspects College graduates--South Africa

The purpose was to investigate and describe how family dynamics are experienced by the siblings of a cancer patient after his/her treatment for cancer. The research methodology includes qualitative research of an explorative and descriptive nature. Data were collected through unstructured interviews with siblings of children who had received treatment for cancer. From this data eight categories were identified accordingly. Although the data do not indicate that siblings experienced family dynamics after treatment as problematic, as expected, the information contributes by making parents of cancer patients more aware of the siblings' emotions and needs. / Social Work / M.Diac (Spelterapie) Qualitative research Unstructured interviews Siblings Middle childhood Family dynamics Cancer 362.19892994 Brothers and sisters Brothers and sisters -- Psychology Cancer in children Cancer -- Social aspects Emotions in children Interpersonal communication in children Child development Terminally ill children -- Psychology Adjustment (Psychology) in children
