Full textSUMMARY „SEPARATE GROUPS OF WORKERS SAFETY AND HEALTH GUARANTEE“ The paper reveals the health and safety guarantee the essence of the concept. Labor law doctrine laid down the principle of unity and differentiation, value, limits on the use of individual categories of workers, which provides for additional safety and health guarantee. Labor laws of such persons are recognized: young people (persons under 18 years of age), pregnant, have recently given birth or are breast-feeding women, the disabled, which leads to additional guarantees for the physiological and / or psychological characteristics. The application of such guarantees only those categories would not ascribable to individuals deemed to be discrimination against the rest. The paper examines the complex national and international statutory health and safety guarantees, compared with the general. Systematic analysis of the Labor Code of the Republic of Lithuania, other legislation granting additional guarantees to young persons, pregnant, have recently given birth or are breast-feeding women and people with disabilities: an employment contract, the contractor at the time - the regulation of labor, leisure time, changing the terms and conditions or changes in working conditions special cases, the transfer of the downtime, as well as the expiry of the contract of employment.

Full textThis explorative, qualitative study examines the perceptions of mental health workers about self-help groups with adult survivors of child sexual abuse. Given limited formal mental health services in South Africa, self-help represents one informal alternative which could supplement mental health service provision. The study thus arises from a perspective which values self-help groups and is informed by the urgency of community needs in this area, and takes seriously the idea that it is possible and desirable for mental health care workers to facilitate and foster community support systems. Twenty-two indepth interviews were conducted with a sample of convenience which included eleven clinical psychologists, five psychiatrists, three social workers and three non-professionals and included interviewees from organizations currently engaged in issues relating to child sexual abuse. A semi-structured interview schedule was used and interviews were audio-taped. Interview responses were systematically analysed and common themes extracted around awareness of self-help, perceived benefits and problems of survivor self-help groups and the role of professionals. Main themes have been illustrated by verbatim transcriptions from audiotaped material. Most participants have had limited exposure to self-help groups. Whilst there was openness towards self-help with survivors, caution was expressed about dangers to clients in survivor groups which are not monitored by formally trained and accredited professionals. Selfhelp was considered useful mainly as an adjunct to formal services. Limited knowledge of self-help groups is a major determining factor informing professional perceptions. Recommendations for education of professionals are made in order to promote self-help groups and collaborative professional attitudes.

Full textThis dissertation presents new approaches to create homogeneous groups of workers based on their learning curves and multivariate analysis tools. The objectives of this dissertation are: (i) Unveil the state of the art of the main applications of learning curves, (ii) Study the main learning curves models, (iii) Propose methods for creating homogeneous groups of workers using learning curves, and (iv) Integrate multivariate analysis with learning curve theory. There are three articles that address the objectives outlined. Two methods are proposed for the formation of homogeneous groups of workers. The proposed methods were evaluated through case studies on examples with real data. The proposed methods yielded good results, creating homogeneous groups of workers in production lines and reducing the formation of bottlenecks in manual-based assembly lines. Results displayed the proposed methods as suitable for the formation of groups of workers with similar learning profiles.

Full textThis study aims to explore the coping resources that community health workers (CHWs), providing home-based care to people with AIDS (PWAs), draw on in response to stressful work experiences. Furthermore, the study explores whether different coping mechanisms are utilised by health care workers at different points on the burnout continuum. CHWs were selected from a community outreach organisation in Cape Town. A Xhosa version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was administered to forty-five CHWs. From this group, twelve participants were selected for in-depth interviews, six from both the higher and lower ends of the burnout continuum. Thematic analysis of the interviews indicate that both the High and Low Burnout groups contront similar stressors as a result of going beyond the call of duty, community and familial stigmatisation and working in adverse conditions. In addition, CHWs from both groups have difficulty articulating their emotional needs. The groups differed on the number of HIV/AIDS caseloads, with the High Burnout group treating more PWAs than the Low EE group. Carers also differe in their coping styles: High Burnout participants rely more on emotion-focussed coping, denial and escape avoidance, and appear to have a limited repertoire of coping skills, while Low Burnout participants are more predisposed to using problem-focussed coping with the flexible inclusion of emotion-focused approaches. The study also highlights how the context of care affects coping. Limitations of the present study are discussed, and recommendations made for future research and practice in the field.

Full textThis doctoral thesis focuses on an analysis of the heterogeneity of HRM policies experienced by entities, balanced with a desire of homogenization from the Group they belong to.In conglomerate-type groups created from takeovers or from market gains, HRM policies can indeed be heterogeneous. However, the current trend goes towards the homogenization of these policies.This research aims to analyze the dynamics of the homogenization process in three stages. First, we identify the origin of the heterogeneity of HRM policies and the reasons for its maintenance, or, conversely, its homogenization.To do so, we rely on a conceptual framework based on a multiple theory using an analysis grid based on the contingency approach to HR, corporate culture and the contributions of Crozier and Friedberg related to the actor (1977).From an empirical point of view, the research is part of a CIFRE Convention in the Southeast Region of France of the Waste and Environmental Services division of an group dedicated to environmental services. It is based on a qualitative and quantitative methodology by the use of descriptive statistics applied to the analysis of three key policies in HRM: wages, health insurance, and recruitment. It focuses on a little studied group: the workers

Full textThere are many children in Sweden today, approximately 200 000, who have parents or a parent that abuses alcohol or other drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate how group leaders in support groups for children with addicted parents relate to this sort of support groups. What are their advantages and disadvantages, according to the group leaders?
The method used was qualitative and the empirical material was collected through group interviews. We have interviewed eight persons who are social workers and the interviews were carried out at three work places. The analysis of the material takes a survey of previous written literature as the point of departure. The theoretical framework was eclectic, combining a child perspective with a holistic approach to the situation of children with addicted parents. The interview material was interpreted with the help of hermeneutic theory. Furthermore, Antonovsky’s salutogenic theory, system theory and theory on social change have been used in the analysis.
The analysis shows that the group leaders’ position is that children that have parents or a parent, who abuse alcohol need support groups. The group leaders of support groups bring up that the most important thing for these children is to have other children that they can talk to and trust. However, it was clearly more difficult for the interviewees to discuss possible disadvantages. Drawing upon a holistic perspective, we argue that one disadvantage is how group leaders see children as individuals instead of seeing the family as a whole and the need to deal with the children’s main problem, their parents’ addiction. We also discuss the fact that it seems as if a case worker with overall responsibility rarely monitors the child’s situation. Drawing upon theories on social change we argue that although support groups may empower children to some extent, support groups cannot in themselves be regarded as a way of creating social change.

Full textSeveral Swedish studies have suggested that within the group of clients contacting social welfare offices for social assistance, approximately one third are having problems with heavy drinking. The overall aim of the dissertation was to study how social workers approach these problems in single, male clients. That is; are the drinking problems of these clients approached and if they are, when and why does this happen? The subject has been investigated in four studies. In study I (n=66) and II (n=103) social workers were to respond, in a written questionnaire, on how they would act on a hypothetical client described in vignettes. The results from these studies suggest that there is no consensus among social workers of how to act towards the clients drinking problem and that social workers personal values seem to influence their choice of action taken. In study III, data was collected from case files on male single clients in nine municipalities. Case files in which alcohol related notes were present (n=297) were investigated. The results indicate that social workers are more active as regards demands on clients to moderate or stop their alcohol consumption if the clients are able to work, than if they are not. Study IV was based on focus-group interviews in eight municipalities. In each municipality, a work group of social workers dealing with social assistance were interviewed on one occasion. The social workers approach to the client’s problems was described as a mobile point within a two-dimensional system. The legislative dimension concerned the clients’ right to be equally treated versus the right to have their application judged individually with every circumstance considered. The other dimension was related to traditional social work with the client’s integrity versus the need for support and control. The results were contextualised mainly from three aspects, the influence from raised demands on a “knowledge-based” practice, the prerequisites consistent of the specific frames for social work and changes in the public discourse constituting the frame of socially acceptable drinking habits.

. By integrating them into a holistic and operational conceptual framework, it investigates the highly complex patterning of relations within urban structured coherences, and their effects upon the class and consciousness formation processes. It is shown that interpenetration of these fields of tension through urban processes is crucial in shaping a backbone for the concrete struggles fought by working class against capital in and of the urban regions. These issues are discussed with reference to two working class neighborhoods in Bursa. The first community, Emek, is an unplanned, illegally built settlement, hosting mostly migrant, and lower-wage earning industrial workers, and the second one, Akpinar, is a planned settlement, composed of low-cost housing cooperatives, symbolizing a higher living standard environment for well-paid, socially secure workers, mostly local in origin. The field research focuses on the relations between &lsquo
the labor market, housing market and local dependency&rsquo
and &lsquo
the strategies between mobility-fixity adopted both on part of capital and labor&rsquo
. The specific character of these strategies also tell us how the patterning of the relations between class, community and state loci of consciousness formation and the formation of local coherences mutually shape one another. It is often assumed in this context that formation of class-based consciousness is hindered by other loci of consciousness such as the community-based one. This study shows that community-based consciousness is itself largely absent in the communities in hand and when community-base is deployed by the local workers it is often strategically employed to get personal benefits. In this sense, the study concludes that the lack of community-based consciousness does not device more effective strategies of formation of class-based consciousness but perhaps another adverse factor in developing class-based consciousness in an environment heavily dominated by individualized form of consciousness.

Thesis, Côte d'Azur, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016AZUR2047.
Full textThis thesis addresses what is called the biggest occupational health risk of 21st century, namely burnout, the result of chronic stress, from a communicational perspective. We propose that coupled with technicist ideals and information and communication technologies, the efficiency paradigm permeate the competitive practices in business and their organizational discourses; shape the managerial discourses and socio-technical devices in the organization. These discourses and dispositifs, in their turn, influence and structure the interpersonal and intra-personal communications. They colonize the life-worlds of the employees and shape their subjectivities. In this process, communication pathologies and deficiencies may occur and lead to stress and burnout. We have conducted a qualitative research based on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Fourteen participants from France (seven) and Norway (seven) were chosen as a purposive sample; they have all worked with ICT and experienced burnout. We have shown that the job-related stress factors that are used in the burnout models do not exist independently, but they arise out of stress-inducing communication processes. We have identified three major paradoxes that our participants have experienced: ‘acceleration-deceleration paradox’; ‘intensification-quality paradox’; ‘autonomy-control paradox’. These paradoxes trapped them in a double bind. We have identified two vicious circles: ‘working harder and harder’ and ‘distancing from work’. Entangled in pathological inner dialogues, they lost their self-efficacy beliefs. We have compared our two groups and discovered differences based on the national culture

Full textSmall-scale and subsistence farmers in general lack knowledge and information as a result of limited personal contact at grassroots level with extension workers. Therefore, the formation of farmer groups needs to be encouraged in most rural areas as tools of extension delivery. The value of farmer groups for quality decision making and generating of new ideas is well known, and therefore, the use of group contact may accelerate capacity building and empowerment to subsistence farmers. The problem under investigation is the effectiveness of farmer groups as tools of extension delivery in Makhuduthamaga in Sekhukhune District. The investigation seeks to establish the factors that influence the effectiveness of the farmer group in Makhuduthamaga local municipality. This study was conducted in the Makhuduthamaga local municipality in Sekhukhune District. Data was gathered through two questionnaires, one for farmers and one for extension workers. The study applied quantitative methodology, cluster sampling and non-probability sampling methods, and used field interviews with structured questionnaires. The study found that there are many stakeholders involved in the formation of farmer groups, such as NGOs, social welfare and extension workers, and the initiation by the different stakeholders has an influence on the development of the groups. Most of the farmer groups were initiated by NGOs, the reason being the financial support offered. The effectiveness of the selected farmer groups on Makhuduthamaga municipality is influenced by group dynamic factors. These factors include group size and gender composition, updating of the constitution, and the frequency of group meetings. The respondents highlighted the fact that there is a poor relationship within the groups, poor leadership, misuse of funds, lack of knowledge and division in the groups. There is a culture of not believing and/or not trusting the local people, and it is difficult to disclose information. The number of extension workers is still small in relation to the size of the farming population to be served. Stakeholders will learn from the study that the formation of farmer groups should serve the interests of the farmers, not of the institutions. The training institutions should base the training of extension workers on the needs of the farmers. The farmers should strive for self-reliance in order to sustain their farming enterprises. Extension workers should be formally trained on group dynamics, because agriculture in rural areas is about people working together. Government should minimise the top down approach and institutionalise the participatory extension approach methodology.
JORDÃO, Janaína Vieira de Paula. "Beleza que põe mesa : a relação de trabalhadoras domésticas com mídia, beleza e consumo." Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2008. http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tde/1408.
Full textThis dissertation analyzes the relationship between popular segments of society - especially the category of domestic workers - with the media, consumerism and beauty. The reason for our choice of domestic workers is because this profession has, simultaneously, many characteristics that allow it to be considered as subaltern: its undervaluation due to hybridizations that come from the times of legal slavery; the current labor laws, very different from the ones regarding other professions; the low income and the mainly feminine character of the profession. Our idea, therefore, is to look at consumers culture - especially the part of it connected to beauty, which comprehends fashion, body and beautifying strategies in general, all of those concepts intimately intertwined with women s history - from the viewpoint of a subaltern group. One of the ways through which consumers culture and hegemonic concepts such as the need for beauty are spread through society is the media, nowadays practically ubiquitous, due to its great accessibility through TV, radio, movies, newspapers, internet, cellphones, graffiti, billboards, waiting rooms etc. Wherever there is a potential consumer to be found, there will be at least one media vehicle. Its ability for content coverage and repetition allows media to be considered a very important intermediator between individuals and the world, becoming a relevant builder and repeater of cultural concepts, which will influence the subjectifying processes in people. In order to investigate this influence, 31 domestic workers in Goiânia were interviewed, with questions about their beauty concepts and their favorite mediatic programs. Both discourses were related to the objective of understanding whether there is a beauty concept carried out by the media, how the domestic workers perceive it, and what are their strategies to comply (or not) to them, assuming that domestic workers may relate to these contents in different ways: by making them their own, by negotiating with them, or even by denying them. That is because it is understood that lower segments of society are in constant relationship with the hegemonic contents, and are therefore co-participants in the forces that build culture day by day.
Esta dissertação analisa a relação de setores populares, mais especificamente as trabalhadoras domésticas, com mídia, consumo e beleza. A escolha da categoria de trabalhadoras domésticas se deu por esta profissão carregar, ao mesmo tempo, várias características que fazem com que se possa considerá-la como subalternidade: a desvalorização devido a hibridações desde a escravidão, as diferenças jurídicas em relação a outras profissões, o baixo poder aquisitivo e o caráter prioritariamente feminino da profissão. A idéia então é de lançar um olhar a partir da subalternidade para a cultura de consumo, especialmente o ligado à beleza, que compreende moda, corpo e estratégias de embelezamento em geral, conceitos intimamente ligados à história das mulheres. Uma das formas pelas quais a cultura de consumo e os conceitos hegemônicos - como o da necessidade de beleza - são disseminados na sociedade é por meio da mídia, que hoje tem um caráter quase onipresente , devido à facilidade ao seu acesso, como TV, rádio, cinema, revistas, jornais, internet, celulares, muros, outdoors, salas de espera, enfim, há mídia onde há um possível consumidor. A capacidade de abrangência e de repetição de conteúdos faz com que a mídia possa ser considerada como um importante mediador entre as pessoas e o mundo, se tornando um importante construtor e reprodutor de conceitos culturais, que vão influenciar nos processos de subjetivação dos indivíduos. Para se averiguar esta influência, entrevistaramse 31 trabalhadoras domésticas em Goiânia, investigando quais os seus conceitos de beleza, e qual a programação midiática mais consumida por elas. Ambos os discursos foram relacionados com o objetivo de se entender se há um conceito de beleza veiculado pela mídia, como as profissionais o percebem, e quais são as estratégias para se adequar ou não a eles. Parte-se do pressuposto de que as trabalhadoras domésticas podem se relacionar com esses conteúdos de várias formas: se apropriando deles, negociando com eles, e também os negando. Isso porque entende-se que os setores populares estão em constante relação com os conteúdos hegemônicos, e, portanto, são interlocutores e co-participantes nas forças que constroem diariamente a cultura.

Full textThis thesis analyses the formulation and implementation of economic policy in Brazil during the administrations of Jânio Quadros and João Goulart (1961-1964). The main objective is to understand why the Brazilian government was unable to tackle the countrys most urgent economic problems, such as rising inflation and a mounting balance of payments crisis. To do so, the study explores the way social groups, including entrepreneurs, workers, and representatives of foreign nation states, influenced economic policy outcomes. Making use of a wide range of data from confidential employers reports, labor periodicals and commercial newspapers, through to official government sources from Brazil, the U.K. and U.S. the thesis concludes that interest groups reactions are fundamental to explaining why economic programs failed in the early 1960s. While during the administration of Jânio Quadros employers attitudes played a major role, in the final phase of João Goularts presidency, a great distributional struggle broke out between capital and labor, setting the stage for the collapse of Celso Furtados Three-Year Plan. The findings are of great relevance given scholars general recognition that the inadequacy of the Brazilian government in tackling economic problems had a decisive impact on the fall of democracy in 1964, in turn paving the way for a 21-year military dictatorship.

Full textO fenômeno dos grupos multifuncionais nas organizações é recente e pouco conhecido. Dentre estes grupos existem aqueles onde seus membros utilizam apenas conhecimento (knowledge workers) nas suas atividades, e que foram formados para executar projetos de consultoria ou de desenvolvimento de novos produtos ou serviços. Este trabalho identifica e descreve fatores relacionados a pessoas, grupos, projetos e contexto que influenciam o desempenho de grupos de - knowledge workers - consultores, fatores estes identificados a partir da literatura corrente relacionada a trabalho em grupo, de entrevistas com consultores e da experiência do autor. Os resultados indicam, dentre os fatores estudados, quais deles são polêmicos (não há consenso sobre sua influência) e quais não são e, neste último caso, se sua presença melhora ou piora o desempenho destes grupos. Em ambos os casos, são apresentados comentários dos entrevistados de modo a esclarecer e ilustrar as conclusões.
The multi-functional group phenomenon in organizations is recent and barely understood. Some of these groups use essentially knowledge workers in their activities, and were formed to execute consultancy projects or to develop new products or services. This study identifies and describes factors related to people, groups, projects and context that influence the performance of these knowledge worker consultant groups. These factors were drawn from the present knowledge on workgroups, interviews with consultants and from the author`s professional experience. The results indicate in which factors there is consensus about their influence or not, and in both cases, comments are presented to explain or illustrate the conclusions.

Full textDenna rapport behandlar olika steg inom produktframtagning av ett nytt verktygs-bälte för professionella skogsarbetare åt företaget Husqvarna Group. Från att identifiera kundens behov genom fältstudier samt intervjuer med olika användare, till en konkret lösning på problemet. Introduktionskapitlet klargör syftet med rapporten, de frågeställningar rapporten diskuterar och vilka avgränsningar som gjorts. Rapporten fokuserar på att hitta en ny och bättre lösning än den nuvarande för att fästa hölster på verktygsbältet och även hur avtagbara hängslen ska fästas i bältet. Företaget Husqvarna och deras nu-varande verktygsbälte och huvudkonkurrenternas bälten beskrivs. Sedan följer ett kapitel med teoretisk bakgrund där QFD-metoden och Pughs beslutsmetod besk-rivs som senare används i rapporten. En beskrivning av hur arbetet i skogen går till och hur verktygsbältet används finns också med. I kapitlet metod upprättas en tidsplan för projektets olika faser. Därefter används QFD-metoden och ett kvalitetshus för att identifiera kundens behov och för att få en rangordning av kundkraven samt skapa ingenjörsmässiga mätvärden på kraven. Kvalitetshuset innehåller även en konkurrensanalys där det nuvarande bältet jäm-förs med konkurrenternas. Ett antal olika koncept för att lösa de två problemen, fäste för hölster och hängslen, tas fram och utvärderas mot uppställda krav med hjälp av Pughs beslutsmatris. En “proof of concept” prototyp tas sedan fram av det valda konceptet. En sammanställning av förbättringsmöjligheterna på det nuvarande verktygsbältet läggs fram i kapitlet resultat. Där presenteras det slutliga konceptet och prototypen av det. Konceptet för att fästa hölstren är ett hålat plastband som fästs på bältet i underkanten av plastbandet så att det kan vikas ner. Bakom plastbandet och ge-nom hålet träs flärpar från hölstret, det hela täcks och säkras med ett textilband som är fastsytt i överkant och med tryckknappar i underkant. Avslutningsvis finns ett kapitel med slutsatser, där metoderna och resultaten dis-kuteras och där ges förslag på hur arbetet bör tas vidare.

Full textThis project served to locate a potential funding source and write a grant to secure funding for a program that provides mental health and psychological treatments, resources and information, and ultimately empowers Latina domestic workers who have survived trauma within and outside their scope of work. The program will be implemented by an MSW with Promotora community leadership. The program consists of a trauma focused intervention group with culturally sensitive and empirically supported curriculum as well as crisis mobilization services for female Latina domestic workers in the city of Los Angeles. If funded, this program will enable social workers and others to be able to advocate successfully and be informed about Latina domestic workers who face specific challenges in their work, including physical and mental health concerns, safety issues, a lack of labor protections, and overall health. Submitting this proposal for funding was not required to successfully complete this project.
