Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Education and training under apartheid can at best be described as
fragmented and unequal along racial lines. The consequence of the
decades of human resource neglect resulted in the virtual destruction
of human resource potential, with devastating effects for social and
economic development. At the organisational level witness to this has
been the lack of career paths offered to workers and the debilitating
effect on worker motivation and general productivity. In response to this
state of affairs the South African government introduced a number of
innovative laws aimed at reversing this downward spiral:
The Skills Development Act, 1998 and the related legislation have as
their single objective the establishment of a more enabling and
responsive human resource environment. This will amount to the
rebuilding of the South African workforce within organisations through
the introduction of new sets of human resource processes, policies and
principles.
This study compares the activities of the Pioneer Foods Group with
those of the Drakenstein Municipality in relation to the skills
development regulatory framework and the subsequent obligations it
places on organisations to establish new human resource practices.
The study goes further and seeks to establish whether there is a causal
link between the processes of skills development and Organisational
Development (00). The study concludes that there is a definitive link
between the skills development regulatory framework and 00. The two
processes are regarded as mutually supportive, leading to the
achievement of individual and organisational end goals. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Opvoeding en opleiding onder die Apartheidsregering kan beskryf word
as gefragmenteerd, ongelyk en geskoei op ras. Die gevolge van
dekades van menslike hulpbron vernalting het geweldige en
verreikkende ekonomiese en sosiale implikasies tot gevolg gehad. 'n
Nadere blik op die vlak van organisasies dui aan dat vir werkers geen
beroeps vooruitsigte was nie met die gevolg dat die motiverings vlak en
veral produktiwiteit ontsettend laag was. Die respons vanaf die Suid
Afrikaaanse regering was die bekendmaking van 'n reeks innoverende
wetgewing gemik om die afwaartste kurwe te stop.
Die Vaardigheids Ontwikkeling Wet, 1998 en die ander meegaande
wette het as primêre doelwit die daarskep van "n meer
verantwoordelike menslike hulpbron klimaat. Dit het ten doel die
heropbou van die Suid Afrikaanse mense deur die bekendmaking van
"n stel menslike hulpbron prosessese, beleid en beginsels.
Hierdie studie fokus en vergelyk die vaardigheidsontwikkeling
aktiwiteite van die Pioneers Voedsel Groep met die van die
Drakenstein Munisipaliteit. Die studie gaan verder deur vas stel of daar
n definitiewe verband is tussen die prossese van
vaardigheidsontwikkeling en die van organisasie ontwikkeling. Die
slotsom is die volgende: dat daar 'n definitiewe verbintenis is tussen
vaardigheidsontwikkeling en organisasie ontwikkeling. Die twee
prossese steun op mekaar deurdat beide ten doel het 'n verbeterde
organisasie en individu, soos hulle strewe na die bereiking van
doelwitte.
