Full textAbstract:
The construction industry is becoming increasingly complex and dynamic and learning are increasingly important. The ability to learn and act faster than their competitors is one of the most important competitive advantages. By offering a form of job rotation for new officials, Skanska can show the district's various departments and that the new employee will hopefully find its desired position, and allows Skanska to a more attractive company. This thesis illuminates the subject job and will focus on the job for new officials. The first part of the thesis shows that knowledge can be taught in different ways and all ways are important to get a good understanding of the whole. Job rotation can be configured in different ways and by presenting the various forms of job rotation, we hope you can get a better understanding of what form is best suited for this purpose. Furthermore, we show how a job rotation program can be structured and how it can be implemented in Skanska. Finally, we highlight important aspects that may be useful to consider in implementation.Byggbranschen blir alltmer komplext och dynamiskt och lärande blir allt viktigare. Förmågan att lära och agera fortare än sina konkurrenter är en av de viktigaste konkurrensfördelarna. Genom att kunna erbjuda arbetsrotation för nyanställda tjänstemän kan Skanska visa distriktets olika avdelningar och den nyanställda kan förhoppningsvis hittar sin önskvärda position, samt det gör Skanska till ett mer attraktivt företag. Detta examensarbete belyser ämnet arbetsrotation och kommer fokusera på arbetsrotation för nyanställda tjänstemän. Första delen av examensarbetet visar på att kunskap kan läras på olika sätt och alla sätt är viktiga för att få en bra förståelse för helheten. Arbetsrotation kan vara utformad på olika sätt och genom att presentera de olika formerna av arbetsrotation hoppas vi att ni ska få en större förståelse vilken form som passar bäst för detta ändamål. Vidare visar vi hur ett arbetsrotationsprogram kan vara uppbyggt och hur det kan implementeras i Skanska. Avslutningsvis lyfter vi fram viktiga aspekter som kan vara bra att ta hänsyn till i genomförandet.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study attempts to gain insight into the nature of psychosocial stress experienced by correctional officials. In order to achieve this, a literature study was undertaken regarding the nature of psychosocial stress from an ecological perspective as well as strategies that the occupational social worker, management and central government can employ to address stress experienced by correctional officials. Secondly, an empirical study was undertaken and information on the research topic was obtained from correctional officials that worked on the sections inside prisons and who worked directly with inmates. The study indicated that low motivation amongst colleagues, insufficient salaries and bad collegial co-operation were factors that had a major influence on psychosocial stress experienced by correctional officials. Factors such as family responsibilities as opposed to work responsibilities; drug-or alcohol abuse as well as physical constraints have less of an impact on psychosocial stress. It was furthermore found that the need for confidentiality, guidance in stress management and emotional support enjoys a high priority with correctional officials regarding social worker intervention. Issues such as the need that the social worker should form part of a multi-disciplinary team or that he/she should mobilise their colleagues and supervisors for support enjoyed a lesser preference with correctional officials. With regard to the role of management it was found that correctional officials require that management should primarily provide more promotional opportunities and should develop a more satisfactory merit system. Dissatisfaction with the Department of Correctional Services' Employee Assistance Programme and the present shift system were less of a concern to correctional officials. It was concluded that that stressors experienced by correctional officials are varied and include feelings of anger, depression and a general dissatisfaction with managerial styles and certain departmental actions and procedures. It was also very evident that many correctional officials felt that they do not have an appropriate avenue to deal with their stress. If this situation prevails, it was concluded that it will exacerbate correctional officials' poor social functioning. With regard to social worker intervention it was concluded that the vast majority of correctional officials are in dire need of social work intervention to assist them in effectively dealing with stress. It was further concluded that the Department of Correctional Services does not have sufficient structures in place to support correctional officials during stressful periods. Management has a vital role to play in supporting correctional officials when coping with psychosocial stress. If the present situation remains unattended to by management it may impede correctional officials' ability to deal with stress. Recommendations by respondents also indicated a low level of involvement by management in the practical stressors which correctional officials may face. It was also concluded that present attempts by management to deal with psychosocial stress effectively through the induction of an Employee Assistance Programme and the longstanding grievance procedure, have severe practical limitations. Recommendations were made to the social worker, management and central government regarding effectively addressing psychosocial stress experienced by correctional officials working on sections and who are primarily responsible for the guarding of inmates.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie studie is ondersoek ingestel na die aard van psigo-sosiale stres wat deur korrektiewe beamptes ervaar word. Ten einde hierin te slaag,is eerstens 'n literatuurstudie onderneem ten opsigte van die aard van psigo-sosiale stres vanuit 'n ekologiese perspektief. Daar is ook gekyk na strategieë wat die bedryfsmaatskaplike werker, bestuur sowel as die sentrale regering kan aanwend om psigo-sosiale stres wat deur korrektiewe beamptes ervaar word aan te spreek. Daarna is 'n empieriese studie onderneem deur vraelyste aan korrektiewe beamptes te stuur wat direk op seksies binne in gevangenis met gevangenes werksamig is. Die navorsing het aangedui dat lae motivering onder kollegas,onvoldoende salarisse en swak kollegiale samewerking die grootste bydraende faktor is tot psigososialestres wat deur korrektiewe beamptes ervaar word. Faktore soos alkohol- of dwelmmisbruik en liggaamlike gebreke oefen In mindere invloed uit op psigososiale stres wat deur korrektiewe beamptes ervaar word. Met betrekking tot die behoefte aan maatskaplike intervensie is daar bevind dat vertroullkheld, leiding in stres hantering en emosionele steun die hoogste prioriteit by korrektiewe beamptes geniet. Faktore soos die behoefte dat die maatskaplike werker deel moet vorm van 'n multi-dissiplinêre span of dat hy/sy die korrektiewe beampte se kollegas en supervisors moet mobiliseer vir ondersteuning, het 'n mindere prioriteit by korrektiewe beamptes geniet. Met betrekking tot die rol van bestuur, is daar gevind dat korrektiewe beamptes meer bevorderings geleenthede en 'n verbeterde meriete stelsel van bestuur verwag. Ontevredenheid met die Departement van Korrektiewe Dienste se werknemer bystandsprogram (WBP) en die huidige skofstelsel was 'n laer prioriteit vir korrektiewe beamptes. Die gevolgtrekking is gemaak dat stressors wat ervaar word deur korrektiewe beamptes uiteenlopend van aard is en dit sluit in gevoelens van depressie, woede sowel as 'n algemene ontevredenheid met bestuurstyle en sekere departementele aksies en prosedures. Dit was ook baie duidelik dat baie korrektiewe beamptes nie 'n geskikte hulpmiddel het om hulle in staat te stelom psigososiale stres effektief te hanteer nie. Indien die huidige situasie bly voortbestaan, kan korrektiewe beamptes se swak maatskaplike funksionering verder belemmer word. Met betrekking tot maatskaplike werk intervensie ,is gevind dat die oorgrote meerderheid van korrektiewe beamptes 'n noodsaaklike behoefte daartoe het dat die maatskaplike werker hulle moet ondersteun om psigososiale-stres effektief te hanteer. Voorts is die gevolgtrekking gemaak dat die Departement van Korrektiewe I Dienste nie oor toereikende strukture beskik om die korrektiewe beampte te ondersteun tydens stresvolle tydperke nie. Bestuur het 'n noodsaaklike rol in die ondersteuning van die korrektiewe beampte in sy/haar hantering van psigososiale stres. Indien die huidige situasie nie voldoende deur bestuur aangespreek word nie, kan dit die korrektiewe beampte se vermoë om psigososiale-stres te hanteer verder strem. Aanbevelings deur respondente het ook 'n lae vlak van betrokkenheid deur bestuur aangedui by die praktiese stressors wat korrektiewe beamptes mag ervaar. Die gevolgtrekking is ook gemaak dat huidige pogings deur bestuur om psigososiale stres aan te spreek deur middel van 'n werknemer bystandsprogram en die reeds gevestigde griewe prosedure, grootskaalse beperkings het. Aanbevelings is aan maatskaplike werkers,bestuur en die sentrale regering gemaak oor hoe om psigososiale stres wat deur korrektiewe beamptes werksaam op seksies binne in gevangenisse en wat primêr vir die bewaking van gevangenes verantwoordelik is, aan te spreek.

Arms, Kimberly Pearman. "Ethics Training: Views of Tennessee Local Elected Officials." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2007. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2155.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine if local elected officials in Tennessee perceive ethics training will affect ethical behavior, and, if so, what format they recommend for ethics training including length of time, delivery methods, and instructors' qualifications. This study provides information regarding whether ethics training is likely to be efficacious and how officials feel about the training. Specifically, this study informs officials and others who invest with both time and financial resources about the value of training, what to teach if they are going to offer ethics training, and who should teach ethics.
More than 2,000 local elected officials in Tennessee were surveyed asking their perceptions on the format, content, instructor, and length of time necessary for ethics training. In addition, survey participants were asked their personal definition of ethics and were asked to share the unethical behavior they have observed in other elected officials, if any. This study provides rich information for those responsible for designing and delivering ethics training for elected officials as well as for those making financial decisions regarding ethics training. An additional benefit of this study was as a contribution to the body of literature on the subject of ethics training. This study should be useful for those in government or training and development as they consider offering ethics training.

Wickremasinghe, Chanaka. "The jurisdictional immunities of international organisations and their officials." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2003. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/2095/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis approaches the questions of the jurisdictional immunities of international organisations and their officials as the means whereby international organisations can be accommodated within the system of international law which allocates jurisdictional competence to States. The range of doctrinal approaches to these questions in the secondary literature is considered. However, general rules on such immunities are only of limited value in that each organisation must viewed on its own merits, and in the light of its own particular functional requirements. The thesis therefore seeks to demonstrate this individuated approach empirically by mapping the extensive range of international practice, i.e. treaty provisions, official decisions and views of international organisations and decisions of international courts and tribunals. At the level of national law, a comparative survey is made of legislative practice of various States and the decisions of their courts. The immunities of international officials are an extension of the immunities of their employer organisations, and also a means of ensuring institutional coherence and integrity. This thesis concludes that there are primarily two aspects to this process of accommodation of international organisations in the system of allocation of national jurisdiction: Firstly there is a functional aspect, which concerns the degree to which national authorities may exercise jurisdiction over the relations of international organisations with third parties. This is derived from treaty law and is specifically granted to meet functional requirements of each organisation. Secondly there is an institutional aspect, which concerns the internal relations of an organisation, including the relations between its organs, its relations with its member States and its employment relations. The abstention of national courts on these issues might best be considered as a requirement deriving from the international status of organisations, and, therefore, of more general application as a requirement of customary international law.

Full textAbstract:
The local building committee is responsible for handling building permits. The committee consists partly of elected politicians that, among other things, make decisions regarding building permits. When a building permit case arrives at the municipality it is reviewed by the public officials, who then forwards the case to the elected politicians of the building committee that make the decision. The elected politicians generally decide as suggested by the public officials, but not always. We have studied how frequently the decisions differs between the elected politicians and the public officials suggestions. In our study we’ve chosen four municipalities in Stockholm County to find out how the frequency varies between different municipalities. Our chosen municipalities are Stockholm, Huddinge, Södertälje and Nykvarn. We have found that in one third of all our studied cases the decisions from the elected politicians in Stockholm do not follow the suggestions from the public officials. In Huddinge the equivalent part is circa 2 %. The elected politicians of the building committees in Södertälje and Nykvarn decide according to the public officials suggestions in all of our studied cases. Furthermore we have studied what the differences are based on. Generally it comes down to a question of judgment within the law, such as whether a deviation from the local plan could be considered as small. We have however found one case where the judgment from the elected politicians is outside the law. One of our hypotheses prior to this thesis was that the elected politician’s right to decide would be superfluous if we’d found that the decision always would follow the suggestions from the public officials. Our studies however show that this is not the case and due to the fact that the elected politician’s decisions sometimes differs from the suggestions of the public officials we find them both important, why their right to decide should remain.Byggnadsnämnden är den nämnd som ansvarar för hanteringen av lovärenden. I nämnden sitter förtroendevalda politiker som bl.a. beslutar i bygglovsärenden. När ett bygglovsärende kommer in till kommunen prövas det av tjänstemän som sedan vidarebefordrar ärendet till byggnadsnämndens förtroendevalda, vilka i sin tur tar ett beslut i ärendet. De förtroendevalda beslutar oftast som tjänstemännen föreslår, men ibland skiljer sig de förtroendevaldas beslut från tjänstemännens förslag. Vi har undersökt hur ofta de förtroendevaldas beslut skiljer sig från tjänstemännens förslag. I vår undersökning har vi valt ut fyra kommuner i Stockholms län för att ta reda på hur frekvensen varierar mellan olika kommuner. Våra utvalda kommuner är Stockholms stad, Huddinge kommun, Södertälje kommun och Nykvarns kommun. Vi har funnit att i ca en tredjedel av våra undersökta fall följer de förtroendevalda i Stockholms beslut inte tjänstemännens förslag. Motsvarande andel är i Huddinge kommun ca 2 %. De förtroendevalda i Södertälje och Nykvarns byggnadsnämnder beslutar i alla våra undersökta fall enligt tjänstemännens förslag. Vidare har vi undersökt vad skiljaktigheten grundar sig i. Oftast handlar det om bedömningsfrågor som uppenbart är inom lagens ramar, såsom huruvida en avvikelse från detaljplan är att klassa som liten. Vi har emellertid funnit ett fall där de förtroendevaldas bedömning uppenbart gått utanför lagens ramar. En av våra hypoteser inför arbetet var att de förtroendevaldas beslutanderätt inte skulle behövas om vi funnit att beslutet alltid följde tjänstemännens förslag. Våra undersökningar visar dock att så inte är fallet och eftersom att de förtroendevaldas beslut ibland skiljer sig från tjänstemännens förslag är de viktiga, varpå deras beslutsrätt bör kvarstå.

Full textAbstract:
Civil wars are defining moments in the history of nations, and consequently attract considerable scholarly attention as events. The concept of civil war has received minimal attention among historians however. The original contribution to our understanding of civil war presented in this thesis lies in its analysis of the conceptual evolution of civil war, which had practical legal and policy implications for British officials in the first quarter of the twentieth century. By charting British officials' responses to conflicts, primarily in Ireland and Russia, this thesis demonstrates how the concept of civil war changed. At the beginning of the twentieth century 'civil war' meant the division of a state's institutions over questions of civic principle, and the continuation of politics by violent means. It was the internal affair of the state. Conflicts in Ireland and Russia did not fit these frameworks, and so the concept expanded to include the breakdown of order, and core assumptions about the dynamics of civil war were reshaped, from a focus on institutions, to an emphasis on communities. Civil war became a threat to international security. These changes fed into a growing acceptance of intervention, and the perception of civil war as a policy opportunity, which was a contributing factor to the emergence of civil war as the predominant form of warfare worldwide. This thesis also contributes to a growing historiography that is integrating national, imperial, European, and world history. The treatment of synchronic crises in Ireland and Russia in this thesis demonstrates how decision making in domestic, imperial, and international contexts were intrinsically interrelated. Civil war is necessarily a paradoxical term, for war is not civil, and therefore cannot be used without elaboration, which provides a valuable lens for gaining new insights into changing ideas about international governance, sovereignty, empire, government legitimacy, and civilization.

Individuals born after 1980 are often immediately labeled with the term, "digital generation". This label assumes that young people are fluent, proficient, and constant users of digital media. This thesis explores digital communication behavior in the context of political communication. This thesis begins with an exploration of how age influences digital political communication, finding that while young people prefer digital media more so than older generations, they are less likely to utilize those media to communicate with government officials. Following the age comparison, this thesis examines race, income, and education as indicators for digital political communication. This thesis utilizes secondary data analysis of surveys collected by PEW Internet & American Life Project between 2003 and 2009. The findings herein suggest that although young people prefer digital communication in politics, the millennial generation continues to lag behind older generations in actual digital political communication behavior. Additionally, this thesis finds that young people falling into minority groups, with low-income and low-education are less likely to utilize digital political communication media than older Whites with high-income and high-education.Master of Arts

Ramsey, Gillian Catherine. "Ruling the Seleucid Empire: Seleucid Officials and the Official Experience." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2009. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.506058.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the experience of being an official in the Seleucid empire. The empire could not function without the many administrative officials who served the Seleucid kings, for they in their roles as royal representatives and managers of information, infrastructure, wealth and political networks held together the many different regions and peoples under Seleucid rule. By understanding their experience of wielding ruling power on behalf of the kings, we may gain a better sense of how Seleucid rule operated, not just as a governmental structure but as it affected and worked through the lives of the people involved. The discussion of officials is not biographical, but a characterisation of types of officials according to their experiences of hierarchy and participation in rule and a comparison of official types on the basis of differing experiences and circumstances. The available evidence for Seleucid administration, much of it epigraphical, is analysed for the patterns of experience linking together Seleucid officials across the history and distances of the empire, and from these patterns several points are asserted. The experience of office-holding under the Seleucids was characterised by a relationship to the king, who was responsible for appointing his officials to particular titles and decided in what capacity they would act as his agents. The work of Seleucid officials was effected through formalised documentary practices, by which they managed information throughout the communities of the empire and communicated with one . another regarding royal policies and decisions in a politely authoritative language. Communication between officials resulted in frequent travel across the empire by couriers, ambassadors and by the royal court itself, and the logistics of travel by officials built up a conceptualisation of Seleucid space as a governed unit, distinguishable by the presence of officials holding regions together by their links with one another and with the kings. In their control of space and territory the Seleucid officials dealt with resources, and applied their documentary practices to manage lands, revenues and taxation on behalf of the kings whose wealth it was, and for themselves. There was prestige and political power to be derived from control of wealth, seen in the business of officials at royal treasuries and mints, and in the pattern of coinage circulation and the habit of acquiring control of local mints by individuals whose power in the Seleucid organisation led them to obtain independent authority. The political experience of Seleucid officials were characterised by their membership as a class of elites in the formal friendship networks of the Greco-Macedonian world, networks which expanded to the fringes of the empire along lines of internal diplomacy. The communication and travel routes across the empire and the formal documentary language used by officials enabled them to build political links within the empire by facilitating material and honorific reciprocity and strengthening the hierarchical relationships of the administration. The vibrancy and success of the Seleucid administrative experience as a route to political gains is witnessed by the examples of officials who attained to independent rule themselves or had influence over the course of Seleucid history

Full textAbstract:
Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Educational Psychology at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2010.This study focuses on a vital component of the transformation process on the South African educational landscape - district based Department of Education officials. This descriptive research project had three aims. Firstly; the study determined the nature of the attitudes of Department of Education officials based at the Pinetown District towards the inclusion of learners with learning difficulties at mainstream primary schools. Secondly, the study examined the impact of nine selected demographic characteristics of district based officials on their attitudes towards inclusion. Lastly, the study determined the degree of concern that district based Department of Education officials experienced towards 10 selected factors (eg. large classes, training of educators, curriculum adaptation, extra pay for teachers, time for teacher planning) in the implementation of inclusive education at mainstream primary schools. The research instrument employed in the study was a questionnaire, which was administered to all eligible Pinetown District based officials. Ultimately, 62 respondents were recognized as the members of the sample in the study. Quantitative data was analysed using both descriptive and parametric statistics. Qualitative data was content analysed to discern emerging themes. The results of the study indicated that Pinetown District based Department of Education officials generally hold positive attitudes towards the inclusion of learners with learning difficulties at mainstream primary schools. In addition the study found that the following five demographic characteristics are significant predictors of Department of Education district officials positive attitudes towards the inclusion of learners with learning difficulties at mainstream primary schools - training in special/inclusive education, contact with people with disabilities, experience in teaching learners with disabilities, knowledge of White Paper 6 (Department of Education, 2001) and the workstation of the officials. Lastly, the study concluded that district based Department of Education officials were very concerned that the 10 factors (eg. teacher workloads, provision of a support teacher, availability of resources, support of school management teams and the impact of included learner on the performance on the non-disabled learners) collectively could impede the successful implementation of inclusive education at South African schools.

The role played by the SMTs and IDSOs in the South African education context is
important. Their involvement in the day-to-day development of the learners is
considerable. They need to work harmoniously and in collaboration to create an
enabling learning environment. The SMTs expect to be supported in their work.
Accordingly, IDSOs are well placed to fulfil this role, based on their expertise.
This study is underpinned by the four-factor leadership theory of Bowers and
Seashore (1960) that entails four distinct factors, namely, support, interaction,
facilitation, goal emphasis and work facilitation. This qualitative research design
was located within the interpretivist paradigm. The IDSOs and SMTs from three
primary schools in the Tshwane South District (Gauteng Province) were
interviewed. Relevant documents were analysed. Data were generated by means
of semi-structured interviews to enable the probing of the responses.
The findings revealed that the SMTs require support from the IDSOs to fu lfil their
functions. In most cases, the IDSOs focus on the development of principals only.
Consequently, the team chain that may have been strengthened over time is
broken. The SMTs expect the IDSOs to play a major role in supporting schools
with various aspects of school management, development and leadership
including the Internal Whole School Evaluation (IWSE) and in preparation for the
External Whole School Evaluation conducted by the OFSTED officials. SMTs see
the IDSOs as the principals' supervisors. In practice, the IDSOs do not offer any
direct support to the SMTs. Instead , they use the cascading model to capacitate
all the SMT members.
The study made several recommendations. The first involves improving the
capacity of districts, circuits and clusters through clearer role definitions and
relooking at the processes of selection, recruitment and empowerment of the
district officials, especially the IDSOs. Principals with expertise and capacity to
lead and develop others and with sufficient principalship experience should be
recruited. The department should introduce an upward reporting and feedback system on
the IDSOs' functionality for use by the SMTs in relation to the support provided by
the IDSOs and accountability sessions can also be held by the IDSOs'
supervisors with the IDSOs to ensure that they account for the support provided
to each of the schools they are assigned to.
Accounting sessions for all the SMT members also need to be conducted by their
schools' IDSOs. Finally, reduction of both the number of schools and the
workloads allocated per IDSO in line with the national policy on district
organisation and the proper implementation of the national departmental policy
on the organisation of districts in its current form by the GDE can lead to the
improvement and greater efficiency in the work of the IDSOs.Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

Full textAbstract:
Suicide ideation is a growing phenomenon that can be observed in stressful environments
such as those of a correctional official, and it is a cause for concern. Suicide ideation is
seen as the first step of suicidal behaviour and refers to thoughts, cognitions and overt
intent to kill oneself. The root causes for correctional officials experiencing such a severe
state of hopelessness that they feel death must be the only escape, can be ascribed to
different factors.
The objective of this research is to establish the relationship between psychological
strengths, stress and suicide ideation of employees of the Department of Correctional
Services (DCS). Three concepts of psychological strength namely locus of control, sense
of coherence and affect as independent variables, were compared, with suicide ideation as
a dependant variable. The relationship between suicide ideation and stress as an
independent variable was also established.
A cross-sectional design was used. A simple random sample (n=157) was taken from
correctional officers from a management area in the Freestate Province. The Work Locus
of Control Scale, Orientation to Life Questionnaire, Affectometer 2, and the Adult
Suicide Ideation Questionnaire were administered. In addition, the Correctional Officer
Stress Inventory was developed and administered. Principal component and factor
extraction with Oblique rotation, Cronbach alpha and inter-item correlation coefficients,
factor analysis, a discriminant analysis and a stepwise multiple regression analysis were
used to analyse the data. Results showed that positive affect and external locus of control
were associated with suicide ideation.Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Full textAbstract:
This research study examined campus recreation intramural training techniques used to prepare sports officials. The top 10 techniques reported by the sample (n = 52) are presented. Use of National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) training materials was found to have a significant positive relationship with overall official training program satisfaction. Intramural coordinators who self-rated as unsatisfied with training program also rated their program significantly less effective when compared to intramural coordinators who indicated satisfaction with their training program. Further inquiry determined that the responding professionals ranked officials’ traits and abilities similar in importance, with confidence, knowledge, and decision making as most important. There were no differences in the preferred officials’ trait ratings when compared to overall program satisfaction.

Magister Artium (Child and Family Studies) - MA(CFS)Participation of diverse families in familial needs studies, assist in understanding and comparing their descriptive account of their families and experiences today. This descriptive study compared traditional and non-traditional families of public officials with a focus on (1) form and income, (2) familial needs as per key propositions, (3) families perceptions/experiences at community and broader societal levels and (4) familial needs government must assist them with. The study was contextualized within a contemporary family discourse. It was primarily influenced by a feminist perspective as well as a critique of the nuclear or traditional family grounded in functionalist theory. The public official, as focus, was framed in a human rights and an employee assistance policy discourse influenced by the South African public service context. The study used a quantitative research paradigm, whereby a survey was implemented. The survey was administered to 600 public officials and culminated in a final sample of 70 participants. The study indicated that public officials, as members of families, live in both traditional and non-traditional families. Public officials have familial needs similar to any other family and are also influenced by similar factors in broader society. As both rights holders and duty bearers they can improve their own family lives and also serve families in broader society better. However they too need to be supported with their own family needs. Public officials suggested the areas in which they needed help from the Provincial Government of the Western Cape.

Full textAbstract:
This study deals with two aspects of international law. The first is ‘immunity of state officials’ and the second is ‘prosecution of international crimes.’ Immunity is discussed in the context of international crimes. The study focuses on Africa because African state officials have become subjects of international criminal justice before international courts and various national courts both in Europe and Africa. It presents a new contribution to international criminal justice in Africa by examining the practice on prosecution of international crimes in eleven African states: South Africa; Kenya; Senegal; Ethiopia; Burundi; Rwanda; DRC; Congo; Niger; Burkina Faso and Uganda. The study concludes that immunity of state officials has been outlawed in these states thereby rendering state officials amenable to criminal prosecution for international crimes. The thesis argues that although immunity is founded under customary international law, it does not prevail over international law jus cogens on the prosecution of international crimes because such jus cogens trumps immunity. It is argued that, committing international crimes cannot qualify as acts performed in official capacity for the purpose of upholding immunity of state officials. In principle, customary international law outlaws functional immunity in respect of international crimes. Hence, in relation to international crimes, state officials cannot benefit from immunity from prosecution or subpoenas. Further, the study criticises the African Union’s opposition to the prosecutions before the International Criminal Court (ICC). It argues that however strong it may be, such opposition is unfounded in international law and is motivated by African solidarity to weaken the role of the ICC in Africa. It concludes that the decisions taken by the African Union not to cooperate with the ICC are geared towards breaching international obligations on cooperation with the ICC. The study calls upon African states to respect their obligations under the Rome Statute and customary international law. It recommends that African states should cooperate with the ICC in the investigations and prosecution of persons responsible for international crimes in Africa. At international level, the study reveals the conflicting jurisprudence of international courts on subpoenas against state officials. It argues that, state officials are not immune from being subpoenaed to testify or adduce evidence before international courts. It contends that issuing subpoenas to state officials ensures fairness and equality of arms in the prosecution of international crimes. It recommends that international courts should treat state officials equally regarding prosecution and subpoenas. It further recommends that African states should respect their obligations arising from the Rome Statute and that, immunity should not be used to develop a culture of impunity for international crimes committed in Africa.Thesis (LLD)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
In 1919 the number of British officials employed by the Egyptian Government reached a peak of over 1,600, a substantial figure in relation to a colonial administration like the Indian Civil Service. However, due to the anomalous nature of Britain's occupation of Egypt, the workings of British administration there were left deliberately ambiguous. Thus although we have an extensive knowledge of imperial policy with regard to Egypt, we have little understanding of how British rule there actually functioned, certainly nothing to compare with numerous local studies of the Raj or Colonial Service at work. By studying the British administrators of the Egyptian Government, this thesis casts new light on Britain's middle years in Egypt, which saw formal imperial control succeeded by informal hegemony. We begin by analysing the Anglo-Egyptian administrative structure as a product of its historical development. We examine how well this muted style of administrative control suited conditions in Egypt and Britain's requirements there, considering the fact that by 1919 the British officials had become a major source of nationalist grievance. This loss of reputation caused the Milner Mission to select the British administration as a principal scapegoat in its proposed concessions. Moreover, it was the belief of certain leading officials that Britain's responsibility for Egyptian administration was no longer viable which finally helped precipitate the 1922 declaration of independence. The Egyptian Government now took actual rather than nominal control of its foreign bureaucrats, yet even in 1936, over 500 British officials were still employed in finance, security, and in technical and educational capacities. The changing role of these officials within an evolving mechanism of British control illuminates one of the earliest experiences of transfer of power this century.

Full textAbstract:
The implementation of Horizontal Monitoring (HM) in Austria represents a shift in the prevailing command-and-control paradigm towards enhanced cooperation between taxpayers and tax authorities. In the present paper, we assess how HM is perceived by different stakeholder groups when it was introduced as a pilot project embedded in the "Fair Play Initiative" launched by the Austrian Ministry of Finance. We collected quantitative and qualitative data from tax auditors and staff of tax offices responsible for large-scale enterprises who were either directly involved or not involved in the HM pilot project, from employees of participating enterprises as well as from employees of enterprises which did not participate in the project. Results show that representations of HM were most positive among employees from HM companies and tax officials directly involved, whereas participants from the tax administration who did not take part in the project were skeptical at the beginning and remained skeptical over time. As shown in organizational change studies, the acceptance or resistance regarding the paradigm change represented by HM may originate from uncertainty and misperceptions of its goals and strategies and from speculations, particularly by poorly informed members.

Full textAbstract:
Officiating sport contests requires much personal control and poise, self-confidence, and a thorough knowledge of the rules and mechanics. Accepted as a part of sport, through exhibitions of improper player, coach, and spectator behavior, is criticism of officials. The impact of such criticism on the self-esteem of the official appears to be a key question and prompted this research. The study problem was to determine the gender and rating difference in self-esteem, if any, of Amateur Softball Association (A.S.A.) officials of the Greater San Joaquin Valley (GSJV) Metro. Specifically, the study compared the self-esteem level of: (1) softball officials and the normative population; (2) female and male softball officials; and (3) rated and unrated softball officials.
One hundred softball officials were used as subjects for this study. The officials completed the Culture-Free Self~Esteem Inventory (CFSEI) and a Biographical Data Questionnaire. The inventories were hand scored and the t-ratio technique was used to compare the mean scores of the officials and the normative population, while the APP-STAT program analysis of variance was·used for the female/male and rated/unrated comparisons. All null hypotheses were tested at the .05 level of significance.
It was determined that (1) Softball officials had a significantly higher level of self-esteem than the normative population. (2) No significant difference of total self-esteem between females and males was discovered. However~ the females had significantly lower personal self-esteem than the men. {3) Rating status was not a significant factor in the self-esteem level of softball officials.
It was concluded that {1) The self-esteem level of A.S.A. officials, of the GSJV Metro, greatly exceeds that of the normative population. {2) Gender and rating status are not significant factors in differentiating self-esteem levels.

Ce mémoire de maîtrise vise à contribuer aux études rituelles et à l’anthropologie du sécularisme. Sur
la base d’une recherche ethnographique menée au Québec, nous étudions la pratique des officiants de
rites de passage séculiers qui opèrent en dehors de la religion organisée. Il s’agit de comprendre
comment ceux-ci renouvèlent les rites de passage en dehors d’un appui ou d’une régulation
institutionnels. Nous traitons des cérémonies de naissance et de mariage et cherchons spécifiquement à
étudier comment ces célébrants, tels qu’ils se décrivent, recourent à l’innovation et à la créativité
rituelle pour offrir des rites porteurs de sens dans un contexte social marqué par une hétérogénéité de
sensibilités religieuses. En effet, les célébrants séculiers s’adressent à des individus distanciés de la
religion instituée et doivent donc satisfaire leurs valeurs, croyances et visions du monde ainsi que
celles des membres de leur entourage encore proches de la tradition catholique. Les résultats de cette
recherche qualitative se basent sur un échantillon de dix célébrants séculiers établis au Québec et
présentant une diversité d’approches et de contextes de pratique. La collecte de données est basée sur
des entretiens semi-dirigés ainsi que des observations effectuées auprès d’eux. Cette étude montre que
les célébrants les plus créatifs sont motivés par la dimension sociale et spirituelle de la célébration
plutôt que par des motifs économiques. Même s’ils opèrent en atomes libres, ils s’inscrivent dans un
nouveau paradigme rituel plus large observé par Catherine Bell (2009). Celui-ci est axé sur les
éléments suivant : une conception du rite qui dépasse la frontière du religieux et devient un moyen
universel d’épanouissement du soi et du collectif ; un rite de passage qui est conçu comme un
processus transformationnel et réflexif pour les principaux participants; une fonction sociale du rite
qui se manifeste dans la consolidation du relationnel et un registre d’authenticité alors que les
croyances religieuses deviennent secondaires ; une autorité du célébrant qui diminue en faveur de celle
des participants ; une dimension expérientielle et participative du rite qui est fortement investie.This master thesis aims at making a contribution to ritual studies and the anthropology of secularism. The ethnographic research I present is based in Quebec and centers on new specialists of secular rites of passage, who are ritual makers that practice outside of organized religion. My central objective is to understand how these self-described celebrants creatively contribute to the practice of rites of passage, without relying purely on institutional support or regulation. The focus of this thesis is on birth and wedding ceremonies. I present how these celebrants use ritual innovation and creativity to offer meaningful rites in a social context marked by diversity with respect to different religious sensitivities. Indeed, secular celebrants direct their services toward people who are distanced from institutionalized religion and therefore must satisfy their values, beliefs and worldviews, in addition to elder members of the community that may still adhere to catholic traditions. The results of this qualitative research are based on a sample of ten secular celebrants operating in Quebec and displaying a variety of approaches to ritual making. The primary mode of data gathering is through semi-directed interviews and observational interactions with ritual practitioners. This study demonstrates that the social and spiritual dimensions of the wedding and birth celebrations drive the ritual celebrants, rather than purely economical motivations. Even though ritual makers may develop their practice independently from one another, the most innovative celebrants share traits and participate in a larger emerging ritual paradigm observed by Catherine Bell (2009). This paradigm is characterized by a vision where rites of passage are considered a universal means for the empowerment of the self and the community; rites of passage become a transformational as well as reflexive process for the core ritual participants; the social function of ritual is emphasized toward an ideal of authenticity whereas religious beliefs take a secondary importance; the ritual leader loses authority in favour of the participants; the experiential and participatory component of ritual are strongly invested.

This study was designed to investigate the causes of civil servants whom commit crimes and not abide by the law. By understanding criminal civil servants’ personal characteristics, backgrounds and the external environment and internal psychological elements which cause them commit to crime；The research try to recommend the government to implement appropriate precautions to crime prevention. And regulation and moral education should be conducted into practice in order to enhance the quality of civil servants. This study employs qualitative interviews, utilizing a semi-structured interview as a research tool, totally 9 government ethics officials are interviewed. Based on their practical work experiences, discussing their points of views of the cases of civil servants who violate the law , as well as offering comments on the current laws and policies. Finally, the researcher utilizes phenomenological content analysis to induction, consolidation and analysis of interview data. The result indicates that civil servants who go against law are usually sociable, gambling addicted, easily persuaded and lack of good concept of laws abiding, and their life is irregular with complex interactions with opposite gender. There are more male criminal civil servants than female ones. And most types of occupation of these civil servants are procurement operations and engineering business. Moreover, the positions and the length of service time related to the crime types-officials and superintendents’ illegal modes are more sophisticated. The environments of public department and the need for money also induce civil servants to do the wrong things. Besides, the laws and policies of crime prevention should be more comprehensive. Finally, the researcher recommends appropriate policies including designing moral educational courses and activities, compiling the volumes of crime cases, increasing the responsibility of the directors and caring for civil servants who tend to show misconduct.

YesOfficiating in football depends, at least to some extent, upon adequate visual function. However, there is no vision standard for football officiating and the nature of the relationship between officiating performance and level of vision is unknown. As a first step in characterising this relationship, we report on the clinically-measured vision and on the perceived level of vision in elite-level, Portuguese football officials. Seventy-one referees (R) and assistant referees (AR) participated in the study, representing 92% of the total population of elite level football officials in Portugal in the 2013/2014 season. Nine of the 22 Rs (40.9%) and ten of the 49 ARs (20.4%) were international-level. Information about visual history was also gathered. Perceived vision was assessed using the preference-values-assigned-to-global-visual-status (PVVS) and the Quality-of-Vision (QoV) questionnaire. Standard clinical vision measures (including visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and stereopsis) were gathered in a subset (n = 44, 62%) of the participants. Data were analysed according to the type (R/AR) and level (international/national) of official, and Bonferroni corrections were applied to reduce the risk of type I errors. Adopting criterion for statistical significance of p<0.01, PVVS scores did not differ between R and AR (p = 0.88), or between national- and international-level officials (p = 0.66). Similarly, QoV scores did not differ between R and AR in frequency (p = 0.50), severity (p = 0.71) or bothersomeness (p = 0.81) of symptoms, or between international-level vs national-level officials for frequency (p = 0.03) or bothersomeness (p = 0.07) of symptoms. However, international-level officials reported less severe symptoms than their national-level counterparts (p<0.01). Overall, 18.3% of officials had either never had an eye examination or if they had, it was more than 3 years previously. Regarding refractive correction, 4.2% had undergone refractive surgery and 23.9% wear contact lenses when officiating. Clinical vision measures in the football officials were similar to published normative values for young, adult populations and similar between R and AR. Clinically-measured vision did not differ according to officiating level. Visual acuity measured with and without a pinhole disc indicated that around one quarter of participants may be capable of better vision when officiating, as evidenced by better acuity (≥1 line of letters) using the pinhole. Amongst the clinical visual tests we used, we did not find evidence for above-average performance in elite-level football officials. Although the impact of uncorrected mild to moderate refractive error upon officiating performance is unknown, with a greater uptake of eye examinations, visual acuity may be improved in around a quarter of officials.

From 1980’s, the British Government had started privatization of the State-owned enterprises. Privatization has been the worldwide trend of economic perspective. This drive for new organizational forms has resulted in alternation of the nature of jobs and rights, and might have long-term effects on the impact of career, personal life style and the relation between people. For employees, it is a big impact, not only the character of the public official at first disappear immediately；but also the other rights of work guarantees, payroll, welfare, retiring-pension. The employees will adopt non-cooperation or action to resist the procedure of privatization. At the same time to the centripetal force of the company may also produce the fluctuation. Through the study, it is realized that privatization shall need the cooperation and support of employees, and employees’ interest compensation shall be the one of key-point, that the present method of interests compensation have some problem in Taiwan, that cause the condition of state-owned enterprises a change for the worse.
