Abstract:

This study explores the role of the contemporary ward manager in the NHS. Using a grounded theory methodology, 9 ward managers and 32 other clinical staff participated in semi-structured interviews. In addition, ward managers were observed in practice on eight occasions. A pragmatist philosophical tradition informing symbolic interaction guided the interpretive analytical framework to generate a substantive theory of the role of a modern day ward manager through the analysis of their narratives and by observing them at work. The simultaneous collection, coding, memoing and analysis of the data

Abstract:

This thesis uses narrative methods within a social constructivist paradigm to investigate the identity work of managers in a North West England Housing Association, in the context of being ‘in-between’ those whom they directly manage, and those whom they are managed by. Within the complex field of identity studies it draws on a narrative conceptualisation of identity and utilises methods based on narrative structural analysis and the work of Propp (1968), and on a Levi-Straussian (1963, 1983) concept of mythical thought. The thesis is based on an embedded case study strategy in which managers

This study examines experiences of utilizing government assistance in the United States. It focuses on the ways in which persons participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) communicatively managed their lives in relation to their role in the program. Specifically, the research reveals that SNAP recipients are master managers. After synthesizing the pre-existing body of research concerning social assistance in the U.S. and its effects on those who utilize it, the author argues that sharing the stories of marginalized groups can serve to reduce stigma surrounding govern

Purpose: The construction industry is facing changes as academic education is becoming more common.

The study takes its point of departure in the complex relation between “being yourself” and being manager, i.e. the struggle between what one ought to do as a representative of an organizations and what one want to do as a person. Introspective management training constitutes one extreme of focusing on the person in this matter, i.e. managers should develop their own unique leadership style upon “who they are”. The influences on managers from this type of management training are not self-evident considering the complex relation mentioned in the beginning. The study therefore aims at describing

De nombreux travaux marketing décryptent l’effet des marques sur le consommateur, mais rares sont ceux qui étudient leur rôle à l’interne des organisations. Cette recherche-insider s’appuie de façon originale sur les travaux en théorie des organisations, et précisément sur ceux du courant des « Brands at Work » qui aborde la marque comme une nouvelle forme de contrôle au sein des organisations, pouvant affecter l’identité des employés. Cette recherche qualitative (59 entretiens longs) étudie empiriquement le rôle de la marque dans les processus de régulation identitaire (RI) des managers, à la

Abstract:

En théorie des organisations, une conception dominante étudie la construction de l'identité individuelle lors d'événements majeurs de l'existence. En contrepoint, suivant une approche processuelle, nous cherchons à mieux comprendre la construction identitaire en situation de travail. Pour opérationnaliser la notion de situation, nous empruntons le concept d'épreuve au sociologue Danilo Martuccelli. Nous réalisons une étude de cas multiples. 29 récits d'épreuves de gestion de collaborateurs en détresse sont collectés via 45 entretiens auprès de 24 managers et plusieurs journées d'observation. A

Abstract:

Since the 1970s women have clearly made great advances toward equality in education and in the resultant employment opportunities afforded by an excellent education. Today women are graduating from universities at a rate unparalleled in history (Mitchell 2012:56; Townsend & Twombly 2007:208), and are also entering management positions at a greater rate than we have ever seen (Cejda 2008:172). While the rate of women university graduates taking up entry level management positions is almost on a par with men (Bosak & Sczesny 2011:254), the rate of women professionals who move into senior managem

A range of electronic databases and two journals were subjected to a detailed literature search, focusing on studies evaluating psychological interventions with children aged 0-5 years of age. Outcome studies, utilising experimental design, were included for critical review. The search strategy revealed predominantly attachment-informed intervention studies, prompting a review of this aspect of the literature. A total of twelve studies were identified for closer scrutiny: five with a preventative focus; four describing interventions with clinical populations and three detailing large-scale int

Abstract:

À partir de 2007 en France, les museogeeks, des étudiant·e·s, professionnel·le·s de la culture et des technologies de l’information et de la communication, et amateurs de musées débattent des liens entre « numérique » et musées, en ligne puis lors de rencontres régulières. Petit à petit les professionnel·le·s des musées intègrent ces idées et proposent des actions sur les réseaux socionumériques (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) en mettant en avant la participation des publics en ligne. Loin d’être nouvelle, la démarche d’intégrer de plus en plus fortement les publics aux actions muséales s’ancre dans

Abstract:

This thesis concerns the relatively recent phenomenon of part-time managers and professionals. The focus is the part-time working arrangement (PTWA) and specifically the process by which it emerges and develops, building on existing literature on working-hours preferences, the role of the organization in part-time working and alternative work organization for temporal flexibility. Two large private-sector organizations, each operating in the UK and the Netherlands, provided four different research sites for narrative interviews with 39 part-time managers and professionals.

Abstract:

<p>The traditional view of middle managers is that they play a role to receive and deliver information upwards and downwards in the organization. With this position in the hierarchy the middle manager is said to feel stuck in the middle due to conflicting expectations from upper and lower levels in the organization. Researchers have provided theories whether the middle manager is needed or not in the modern organization. When organizational structure begins to change due to downsizing and decentralization the roles of the middle managers begin to change. With the organizational change theorist
