Law, Jeremy Thomson. "The future of Jesus Christ : a constructive analysis of the development of the eschatological structure of Jurgen Moltmann's theology, 1964-1996." Thesis, University of Oxford, 1998. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:494e316b-6931-49f8-8109-9ec62e085dc9.
Full textAbstract:
While eschatology provides the abiding horizon of Jürgen Moltmann's theology, the centre of his thinking, which conditions the contours of that horizon, is christology. In Part One, this thesis provides an analysis of the methodological considerations which shape Moltmann's christology. It demonstrates how Moltmann's elected hermeneutic strategy of interpreting Jesus within the horizon of promise enables his christology to determine the eschatological structure of his theology. Part Two then examines the actual product of this method. It analyses the succession of christologically determined models of the relationship between eschatology and history that can be found in moving from Theology of Hope to The Coming of God. Both the conceptual development of one idea from another, as well as the chronological development of ideas over time, are thus examined. In this thesis, however, analysis also serves the purpose of theological construction. Where Moltmann's proposals are seen to run into difficulty suggestions are made for how the tensions observed may be resolved in accordance with Moltmann's own root theological assumptions. The fundamental problem of Moltmann's eschatology is perceived to be the lack of an explicit account of how eschatological transcendence is related to historical becoming. In Part One this leads to the provision of a model of the inter-relationship of Jesus' universal (eschatological) significance and his particular relevance for the multifarious situations of the present creation. In Part Two this same problem leads to the construction of a christological model in which Jesus becomes in time who he is in adventus (the transcendent future). Achieving this comprehensively necessitates the provision of an account of the distinction and unity of the divinity and humanity of the one person of Christ. Only so does it prove possible to distinguish appropriately between what the one future of the new creation will mean for God and creation respectively. The thesis concludes by demonstrating the breadth of applicability of the christological insights developed by utilising them to address the question of the relationship between the economic and immanent Trinity.

Full textAbstract:
This study is the result of exploratory research on the daily lives and experiences of private security officers working in Hong Kong housing estates. As the first qualitative investigation of its kind, it examined two case studies of separate estates through the lens of Nodal Governance, which involved interviews with security practitioners and end-users, work practice observations, and documentary analysis. Security officers were found to ‘wear many hats’. Apart from crime prevention, the core roles and functions of private security in these estates are to enforce property owners’ orders and maintain the residents’ quality of life. These ‘hats’ were underpinned by the operational characteristics of property management businesses, especially that of security provision structures. The study found that security officers needed to improvise strategies that stopped short of exercising their legal powers, but dealt with suspects and rule breakers nonetheless. In this way, these officers and security companies provided a resident-orientated service style of private policing, with a focus on neighbourhood safety and harmony.The private security industry in Hong Kong is regulated by a ‘hybrid regulation mechanism’, with a unique mix of public and private actors, and closer inspection suggested that government ordinance initiatives on building management and security services have unintentionally shifted policing responsibility from the state to its citizens, which did much to address residential security inequity indirectly. These findings contribute to a variation on the theme of nodal governance in two ways: ordinances implicitly delegating security provision to citizens paradoxically centralised governance as an unintended consequence; and the genealogy of policing institutions in Hong Kong test the hidden assumptions in western norms of governance. Elsewhere, the study shed light on private security industry regulation, shifting policing responsibilities, security inequity, ad hoc strategizing by actors with limited powers, and high-rise housing security for future reference and further research.

This profession is very difficult and dangerous to health (both physical and mental) and even life. Therefore, personal and professional crises, the passage of which is characteristic of any person, in police officers may become particularly acute and maladaptive. The level of responsibility of a police officer should always be at the highest level, which can also lead to rapid professional burnout, chronic stress. If you combine this with the presence of a crisis, you can face an employee who is desperate in himself and his profession, does not know what to do and where to move next. All this makes it impossible to feel job satisfaction, professional well-being, which in turn reduces efficiency and professional reliability. However, it is obvious that the professional activity of a police officer is a guarantee of the safety of citizens and himself. All this points to the need to create effective measures to maintain the vitality of police officers, maintain their health and psychological well-being.

Syfte och frågeställningar
Syftet med detta examensarbete var att göra en inledande studie som ger en första uppfattning av nivån på den aeroba energiomsättningen under skyddstjänst ombord på ett fartyg. Frågeställning: Vilken nivå på den aeroba energiomsättningen når försökspersonerna upp till under skyddstjänstövning?
Metod
Tjugotre kadetter som studerar till officerare genomförde förtester i form av submaximalt och maximalt cykeltest samt beep-test för beräkning av maximal syreupptagningsförmåga. Femton av dessa deltog som försökspersoner i en slutövning i skyddstjänst där hjärtfrekvens (Hf) mätningar gjordes och upplevd ansträngning skattades enligt Borgskalan.
Resultat
Sex av försökspersonerna uppnådde högst nivåer på den aeroba energiomsättningen under momentet "skrovskadeskydd", sju under momentet "brand 2" och två under "brand 1". Hf varierade mycket mellan momenten och individerna pga. att försökspersonerna hade olika arbetsuppgifter, men det moment som gav högst medel Hf och högst uppnådda Hf var skrovskadeskyddsmomentet. Den skattade ansträngningen enligt Borgskalan upplevdes som mest ansträngande i skrovskadeskyddsmomentet.
Slutsats
Under momenten var det flera som under mer än hälften av tiden låg i en pulszon som innebar medelintensivt eller högintensivt arbete, vilket tyder på att det krävs en hög aerob energiomsättning för många av uppgifterna. Trots att uppgifterna fördelades inom grupperna och några fick arbeta hårdare än andra bör den tyngsta uppgiften fungera som minimikrav som samtliga i besättningen måste uppnå. Nivån på ett konditionskrav för sjögående personal går ej att fastställa med denna studie, men värdena som presenteras visar dock att arbetet under längre tid kan ligga på nivåer som kräver en hög aerob energiomsättning.

This thesis introduces the concept of Simplified Person-Job Matching (SPJM) as a means of measuring the effectiveness of the Surface Warfare/Officer Distribution and Assignment process. Data Base analysis of a cohort of officers attending the Surface Warfare Officer Department Head School, their career histories and prospective assignments was performed. Cohort Analysis indicate that : (1) on the average, the current distribution and assignment process is doing a marginally adequate job of matching personnel to available billets, (2) process improvement is recommended in that, 17 of 135 officers had prospective assignments to billets that they held no prior experiences for, (3) SPJM analysis resulted in a 22% improvement for SPJM fit and resulted in no assignment of officer to billet without some related experience. Recommendations include: (1) implementation of consistent personnel policy in relation to assignment and distribution process, (2) provide budgetary funding for next generation Officer Assignment and Information System (OAIS) computer software, (3) incorporate computer program to ensure SPJM is accomplished, (4) utilize future software improvements to merge the somewhat adversarial roles of the Assignment and Placement Officers

Full textAbstract:
El control difuso de convencionalidad es una nueva herramienta para la impartición de justicia, reconocida en México a partir de la reforma al párrafo segundo del artículo 1° Constitucional, en la que se impone como obligación a todas las autoridades, sin importar su competencia, ni materia, que velen por la protección de los derechos humanos consagrados en la Constitución y en los tratados internacionales de los que México sea parte, ello bajo dos principios rectores: la interpretación conforme y el principio pro persona. El control de convencional difuso, surgió en México a partir de la sentencia condenatoria que recibió el Estado por parte de la Corte IDH en el caso Rosendo Radilla Pacheco, por diversas violaciones cometidas en contra de los derechos humanos de ésta persona, principalmente por su desaparición forzada. Sentencia que en vía de cumplimiento origino el expediente varios 912/2010 analizado por la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación, órgano que hasta la fecha sigue emitiendo criterios jurisprudenciales tratando de aclarar y hacer más fácil el entendimiento y aplicación del control difuso de convencionalidad. El control difuso de convencionalidad implica que todas las autoridades, ya federales o locales, en materia civil, familiar, penal, laboral, administrativa y agraria, deberán ejercer control de convencionalidad, siendo esta una obligación ex officio, al ser un mandato constitucional, fundamentando y motivando de manera clara sus resoluciones, por ello tendrán que conocer no sólo las leyes internas, si no también todos los tratados internacionales que México ha suscrito e incluso conocer la jurisprudencia emitida por la Corte IDH, por lo que resulta imprescindible la actualización y estudio constante de las autoridades.
La jurisprudencia de la Corte IDH resulta vinculante para México aunque no sea parte del litigio en el cual se emitió, lo anterior ya es reconocido por nuestro propio máximo tribunal, en consecuencia, el arsenal normativo que debe tomar en cuenta no sólo un juzgador si no cualquier autoridad es más amplio, siendo urgente y necesario su conocimiento pues de lo contrario se pueden seguir cometiendo violaciones a los derechos humanos y México puede ser condenado nuevamente por la Corte Interamericana al no dar debido cumplimiento a la protección que se ordenó. Ahora existen dos importantes tópicos en el Código Adjetivo Civil del Estado de México, que lo son la suplencia de la deficiencia de la queja y el interés superior, con ellos el juzgador puede proteger mejor a los menores, incapaces o adultos mayores, por su simple condición de vulnerabilidad, advirtiendo, ordenando, cuidando e indagando un poco más de lo que hayan solicitado las partes siempre y cuando se encuentren en peligro derechos de estas personas, siendo así más efectivo el control difuso de convencionalidad. Como ya se mencionó, el control difuso de convencionalidad se convirtió en una obligación para todos los juzgadores y aunque hasta el momento no se hable de mayor responsabilidad que la propia de un juzgador ante la inaplicación de este control, resulta sumamente importante ponerlo en práctica y más aún cuando existen personas en el litigio en condiciones vulnerables, como mucho tiempo se dio, la mayor protección para los presuntos culpables en materia penal, ahora en materia familiar, se debe poner especial atención y cuidado en los menores, siempre velando porque una ruptura familiar sea lo menos traumática y cause el menor daño posible a seres tan indefensos, lo cual se encuentra por demás protegido a nivel internacional, por lo que resulta indispensable que el juez familiar conozca de todos los ordenamientos jurídicos internacionales que puedan ser aplicables al momento de resolver cualquier controversia del estado civil de las personas y del derecho familiar, con la obligación de ejercer control difuso de convencionalidad.La presente modalidad de trabajo terminar de grado por capítulo de libro que se titula “CONTROL DIFUSO DE CONVENCIONALIDAD EX OFFICIO EN MATERIA DE DERECHOS HUMANOS: NUEVO PARADIGMA CONSTITUCIONAL”, es evidentemente interesante, innovador y actual y relata la forma en cómo ha evolucionado el derecho desde el momento en que entró en vigor la reforma constitucional del 10 de junio de 2011. Hoy en día, que no es suficiente exponer una serie de ideas y pensamientos en hojas de papel, sino que es indispensable que reúnan los atributos de claridad, exactitud, propiedad y precisión, requisitos esenciales en cualquier investigación e incluso en el terreno del conocimiento social que ocupa. El tema a desarrollar en este capítulo se seleccionó por la importancia que siempre han tenido las controversias del estado civil de las personas y del derecho familiar y más aún cuando se ventilan asuntos relacionados con menores, de ahí, que resulta atractivo realizar una investigación que tendrá como resultado el saber aplicar el control difuso de convencionalidad ex officio en materia de derechos humanos al cual los juzgadores ahora están obligados por lo establecido en el párrafo segundo del artículo 1° de la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, sin pasar por alto que existen otras instituciones de igual importancia como lo sería el matrimonio, el divorcio, las sucesiones o la posesión en materia civil; pero, se decidió tomar como base la reforma constitucional sobre derechos humanos y la institución jurídica de la guarda y custodia, pues desde hace años llama poderosamente la atención tanto a los que administran justicia como a la sociedad entera, por considerarse un derecho primordial con el que debe contar todo ser humano y más aún por la función social que hoy en día desempeña. El problema a abordar es el saber si el control difuso de convencionalidad ex officio en materia de derechos humanos podrá ayudar a resolver controversias del estado civil de las personas y del derecho familiar, referentes a la guarda y custodia, siempre en aras del interés superior del menor. Y si el decretar la custodia compartida o régimen de visitas y convivencias abierto de menores al aplicar ese control, suplencia de la deficiencia de la queja e interés superior del menor, servirán para cumplir con el mandato establecido en el párrafo segundo del artículo 1° constitucional, pues la interpretación de la norma interna ahora tendrá de efectuarse en conjunto con los tratados internacionales, celebrados y ratificados por el estado mexicano, favoreciendo en todo tiempo a las personas la protección más amplia. Por ello, la inquietud de saber con base en la investigación, si al hacer uso del control de convencionalidad ex officio en materia familiar servirá para enaltecer el principio supremo del interés superior del menor. Hago mío el postulado de que la Universidad se caracteriza por la búsqueda de nuevas estrategias para dar respuesta a las crecientes demandas de la sociedad. Por eso, este trabajo es un marco ideal para expresar que se reconoce como un problema social las controversias relativas a la guarda y custodia de menores, de ahí la importancia de saber aplicar correctamente el control difuso de convencionalidad ex officio en materia de derechos humanos, máxime si ahora es obligatorio por mandato constitucional. El sistema de administración de justicia en México se ha construido a través de un proceso de formación a lo largo del tiempo, actualmente es el encargado de ser el receptor del ámbito más sensible de la sociedad mexicana, de ahí la importancia de su estudio a través de una institución relevante que es la familia, por lo que espero, redunde en beneficios que permitan comprender la administración de la justicia hoy en día. Por otro lado, también se debe hacer referencia a las fuentes de donde nació esta investigación, ya que fueron consultadas distintas obras, algunas escritas por reconocidos juristas y otras tantas por doctrinarios no tan conocidos, algunos nacionales y otros de origen extranjero, lo cual se puede apreciar de la bibliografía que se menciona en el apartado correspondiente, también se tuvo que analizar algunas sentencias emitidas por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y principalmente la referente al caso Rosendo Radilla Pacheco en contra del estado mexicano, pues también ella resultó primordial en la reforma constitucional. El capítulo se integra de temas como: 1. consideraciones previas, 2. Antecedentes, 3. Consideraciones generales del control difuso de convencionalidad, 4. Obligación de acatar la jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, 5. Suplencia de la deficiencia de la queja e interés superior del menor y 6. Obligación de emitir sentencias definitivas aplicando el control de convencionalidad ex officio en materia de derechos humanos, en beneficio de menores. El último tema, se considera la parte vertebral de la investigación, porque es aquí donde se explica la forma de cómo aplicar el control de convencionalidad para resolver controversias del estado civil de las personas y del derecho familiar, referentes a la guarda y custodia y por eso es que se habla también de la sentencia en el caso Rosendo Radilla Pacheco en contra del Estado Mexicano, esa resolución hizo que la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación diera inicio al expediente varios 912/2010, esa determinación junto con los factores sociales, políticos, económicos y culturales que se vivían en ese momento en nuestro país fueron los que dieron nacimiento a la reforma constitucional del 10 de junio de 2011. Para concluir ésta introducción, indicó que en algún momento un gran amigo que hizo saber que en cualquier investigación se debe tener plena responsabilidad sobre las fallas y omisiones y pedir una vez más, como siempre paciencia y comprensión, pues aún cuando es de todos sabido, se recuerda que el docente y el investigador se hacen con estudio, con trabajo y con el paso de los años.

Full textAbstract:
La seria preocupación que asalta a quienes durante estos últimos años se han incorporado a sus respectivas organizaciones en calidad de compliance officers, a saber, el riesgo de acabar en prisión por ejercer indebidamente su trabajo de una forma tal como para permitir la comisión de delitos en la empresa, es el leitmotiv que ha dado lugar a la presente investigación. Su objeto no es otro que el de esclarecer sobre qué fundamento, cuándo y en qué medida responde criminalmente por omisión el compliance officer frente a la realización en la empresa de hechos antijurídicos por terceros autorresponsables, empleando, para ello, un análisis atento a las distintas formas de configurar esta función. Como la posición jurídica del compliance officer es derivada de la del órgano de administración, dada su condición de responsable originario de garantizar la inocuidad de la actividad empresarial desarrollada, se someten a examen las distintas condiciones de las que depende que la delegación de competencias operada devenga válida jurídicamente y los efectos que de ésta se derivan. A partir de aquí, se definen los presupuestos típicos de una eventual responsabilidad en comisión por omisión, prestando especial atención a su principal: encontrarse en una posición de garante. Fijadas las bases de la responsabilidad penal comisivo omisiva del compliance officer, se procede a analizar en mayor detalle un amplio abanico de casos de probable acaecimiento en la praxis ubicados en las distintas etapas del proceso de trabajo de este profesional a fin de poder demarcar con corrección su grado de responsabilidad penal.La seriosa preocupació que assalta als qui durant aquests darrers anys s’han incorporat a les seves respectives organitzacions com compliance officers, a saber, el risc d’acabar en presó per exercir indegudament el seu treball d’una forma tal com per a permetre la comissió de delictes en l’empresa, és el leitmotiv que ha donat lloc a la present recerca. L’objectiu no és un altre que el d’esclarir sobre quin fonament, quan i en quina mesura respon criminalment per omissió el compliance officer enfront de la realització en l’empresa de fets antijurídics per tercers autorresponsables, emprant, per a això, una anàlisi atenta a les diferents formes de configurar aquesta funció. Ja que la posició jurídica del compliance officer és derivada de la de l’òrgan d’administració, donada la seva condició de responsable originari de garantir la innocuïtat de l’activitat empresarial, se sotmeten a examen les diferents condicions de les quals depèn que la delegació de competències operada esdevingui vàlida jurídicament i els efectes que d’aquesta es deriven. A partir d’aquí, es defineixen els pressupostos típics d’una eventual responsabilitat en comissió per omissió, prestant especial atenció al seu requisit principal: trobar-se en una posició de garant. Fixades les bases de la responsabilitat per omissió del compliance officer, s’analitzen en major detall un ampli ventall de casos de probable esdeveniment en la praxis situats en les diferents etapes del procés de treball d’aquest professional a fi de poder demarcar amb correcció el seu grau de responsabilitat penal.
The serious concern of those who have joined their organisations as compliance officers in recent years, namely the risk of ending up in prison for improperly carrying out their work in a way such that it allows crimes to be committed within the company, is the leitmotif that has given rise to this dissertation. Its purpose is to clarify on which grounds, when and to what extent the compliance officer is criminally liable for omission before the commission of unlawful behaviours by self-responsible individuals within the scope of the corporation. To this end we take into the account in our analysis the various ways in which this function could be set up. As the compliance officer’s legal position stems from that of the board of directors, given its condition of original responsible for guaranteeing the innocuousness of business activity, the different conditions on which the delegation of powers deployed becomes legally valid and the effects deriving from it are reviewed. Additionally, the grounds for a liability for omission are defined, paying special attention to the most important: the existence of a position of guarantor. Once those grounds for criminal liability have been developed, a wide range of cases located in the different stages of the CO’s working process are also analysed in detail in order to correctly demarcate his/her degree of criminal liability.

Full textAbstract:
Food distribution (FD) is a part of the public social and care service in Sweden aiming to prevent improper food intake for persons that they are unable to do their own shopping, and prepare their own meals, and in that way ensure reasonable standard of living. Before a person can be granted the FD service, from any municipality, an assessment of their individual requirements has to be made by a public home care officer. The aim of this study was to explore how public home care officers reason when they make a needs assessment for homebound elderly people. The data was collected through individual interviews (n=18). The transcribed interview material was analysed by means of the grounded theory method. The findings showed that the public home care officers were confronted with many challenges when making an assessment of a person’s individual needs. They are influenced by their subjective feelings related to their personal views as to what should be the right solution for the individual. However, they remained aware that they needed to be guided by the legal requirements. Further, they described that the level of an individual’s living standard is a leading concept in the governing laws that they need to interpret. Interpretation of this concept is very subjective with the possible consequence that an assessment result may lead to inefficient support. In conclusion, the concept of a reasonable standard of living needs to be clearly defined, decision regarding FD should not take long time, need assessment and decision should be based on the whole picture behind each individual case and there are needs to develop general guidelines for making needs assessment. The findings in this study have implications for public administration, nursing and gerontology.

Full textAbstract:
Since the late 1960s, several studies have investigated personal information management (PIM) in the workplace. However, very few studies have focused on the behaviour of office support staff in a work environment. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the document management behaviour of office support staff in a large Canadian university. The methodological approach used for this study was grounded theory. Fifteen in-depth interviews were conducted in participants' offices, and visual observations of their document structures were made. A pre-interview survey was also administered in order to gather additional information. Participants were chosen according to the principles of theoretical sampling, and simultaneous data collection and analysis continued until theoretical saturation was reached. Transcribed interviews were coded, after which abstract concepts were derived and grouped into categories, using the constant comparison method. A substantive theory was then developed. The findings suggest the existence of several distinct document spaces within workers' document landscape: a main folder, secondary folders, the operating system desktop, e-mail, paper documents and shared environments. Behaviour pertaining to the handling of orphan files and multiple versions, the naming of files and folders as well as searching and browsing were described. Overall, despite several elements in common, significant variation was noted among participants. In order to explain the variation observed, a model of the factors that are likely to influence PIM behaviour was developed. It comprises seven main categories of factors: job content, job status, existing documents, relationship with the superior, worker characteristics, organizational context and document attributes. Several of the factors identified had never been mentioned in the PIM literature, while in other cases, the evidence presented helped confirm previous findings. The proposed model also highlights the inherent complexity of PIM, and the importance of adopting an all-encompassing view when analyzing PIM behaviour.Depuis la fin des années 1960, plusieurs études ont porté sur la gestion personnelle de l'information (GPI) en milieu de travail. Néanmoins, très peu d'études se sont penchées sur les comportements des employés de soutien tels que les commis de bureau ou les assistantes administratives. L'objectif de cette étude exploratoire était d'examiner les comportements de gestion documentaire d'employés de soutien dans une grande université canadienne. L'approche méthodologique utilisée est celle de la théorisation ancrée. Quinze entrevues en profondeur ont été menées dans le bureau des participantes, et des observations visuelles de leurs structures de documents ont été effectuées. Un questionnaire pré-entrevue a également permis de recueillir des informations additionnelles. Les participants ont été sélectionnés selon un principe d'échantillonnage théorique, et la collecte et l'analyse des données, menées en parallèle, se sont poursuivies jusqu'au point de saturation théorique. Les entrevues transcrites ont été codées, à la suite de quoi des concepts ont été dérivés et groupés en catégories, selon la méthode de la comparaison constante. Une théorie substantive a ensuite été développée.Les résultats suggèrent que le paysage documentaire de ces employés est composé de plusieurs espaces documentaires distincts: un répertoire principal, des répertoires secondaires, le bureau du système d'exploitation, le courriel, les documents papiers ainsi que les environnements partagés. Les habitudes des participants face à la gestion des fichiers orphelins, des versions multiples, au nommage des fichiers et répertoires ainsi qu'à la recherche et la navigation ont été décrites. En somme, malgré certains éléments en commun, des variations significatives ont pu être observées parmi les participants.Afin d'expliquer la variation observée, un modèle des facteurs pouvant influencer la GPI a été développé. Il comprend sept catégories de facteurs: nature de l'emploi, statut de l'emploi, documents existants, relation avec le ou la supérieur(e), caractéristiques de l'employé, contexte organisationnel et caractéristiques des documents. Plusieurs des facteurs identifiés dans cette étude n'avaient jamais été mentionnés dans la littérature sur la GPI, alors que dans d'autres cas les éléments présentés ici viennent confirmer les résultats d'études précédentes. Le modèle proposé met également en lumière la complexité inhérente à la GPI, et l'importance d'adopter une approche holistique dans l'analyse des comportements de GPI.

To design for optimal window use and performance, architects must understand human interaction with operable windows and the factors that influence occupant participation in their thermal environment. This thesis examines workers' personal control of operable windows in their office space through the lens of the following attributes: proximity, orientation, and accessibility to operable windows, office floor height, and the operational methods of windows. Three sites in the Minneapolis metro area were examined through site visits, informalinterviews, collection of physical traces, and a questionnaire. Research data reveal that proximity is the greatest determinant of window use. Other attributes have varying degrees of influence on use of windows. Surprisingly, workers valued operable windows significantly more for fresh air than for cooling.

Full textAbstract:
Police officers make decisions at the street level in a variety of situations that have direct impact on quality of life, justice in society, and individual freedom. These decisions inherently involve the exercise of discretion, since successfully performed police tasks are linked to the officer's choosing among alternative courses of action. Appropriateness of unsupervised decisions taken under street contingencies remains questionable in terms of police-behavior legitimacy. Law enforcement agencies seek ways to control excessive discretion to avoid undesired consequences of police discretion and maintain organizational legitimacy. Traditionally, organizations developed reward and sanction structures that aimed to shape officer behavior on the street. Recent perspectives, on the other hand, emphasize that it is imperative to manage discretion by employing a value-based approach that requires the agency to encourage subordinates in the exercise of certain behaviors simply because they are believed to be right and proper. This approach depends primarily on beliefs, values, and attitudes of employees rather than external contingencies of environment. Drawing on expectancy and value-based approaches, this study examines the factors affecting patrol officers' discretionary decisions to enforce law in the Turkish National Police (TNP). The reward expectancy concept was derived from the expectancy theory of motivation, which uses extrinsic rewards in structuring discretion. Regarding the value-based approach, public service motivation (PSM) represents the intrinsic motives of officers in this study, while selective enforcement corresponds to the attitudes of officers. Discretionary behaviors of officers on the street were conceptualized as responsiveness, which refers to the degree to which officers are willing to respond to street contingencies.; The study revealed some policy, theoretical, and methodological implications. The findings suggested that the TNP should either completely eliminate the existing reward system or revise it to motivate officers to be responsive. A leadership practice that promotes PSM and discourages selective enforcement was also suggested. Contrary to research that emphasizes the role of extrinsic motivation on police discretion, this study empirically reported that intrinsic motivation has an even stronger effect on officer behavior and needs to be taken into account in future studies. The study contributes to an understanding of police discretionary behavior in the TNP, which has unique characteristics of structure, culture, and law. The limitations of the study in terms of its dependency on officer perceptions and concerns about construct validity were discussed and future research was suggested.; The study tested the mediating role of work effort between reward expectancy/responsiveness and public service motivation/responsiveness relationships. Samples of the study were drawn from uniformed patrol officers in seven provinces of Turkey. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Responses of 613 patrol officers were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The study developed four latent constructs and validated their measurement models by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Structural equation modeling was used to investigate causal and confirmatory relationships among latent variables. Findings of the study suggested that reward expectancy did not have a statistically significant relationship to responsiveness. The study did not find a significant association between reward expectancy and work effort of officers. This finding was found to be attributable to the fact that officers do not believe in the fair distribution procedures of rewards and they do not value organizational rewards. Public service motivation of respondents, on the other hand, indicated a strong, positive, and statistically significant relationship with both work effort and responsiveness. These results indicated that intrinsic motives of officers in the TNP are more powerful in explaining officer responsiveness to street contingencies. As hypothesized, officer attitudes toward selective enforcement negatively influenced officer responsiveness, indicating that officers' beliefs and values influence their discretionary behaviors. Among the demographic characteristics of participants, only age of officer indicated a negative significant relationship to responsiveness. This finding suggested that motivation decreases as age increases. Contrary to other findings in the literature, this study found that intensity perceptions of respondents was positively associated with responsiveness.ID: 030423132; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 193-201).

Full textAbstract:
In these last days God has spoken his last and most complete word to man in a Son, Jesus Christ. In his person and ministry Christ is the agent of creation and heir of the spiritual and material estate of God. He is the locus of the fulfilment of the revelatory plan of God, and, as such, is superior to the angels, the ministers of salvation within the created order, and Moses, the faithful minister of God's people Israel. Christ not only fulfils the necessary qualification for priesthood under the old covenant, that of divine appointment, but is appointed by God a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. This establishes and authenticates the high priestly office of Christ. Jesus Christ, Iike the high priests of the old covenant, must offer gifts and sacrifices to God. The sacrifice of Christ fulfils the sacrificial code of Leviticus 1-7, his sacrifice being a gift to God, communion with God, and an expiatory sacrifice. But more than this the sacrifice of Christ fulfils the Day of Atonement ritual of Leviticus 16 as well as the covenant sacrifice of Exodus 24. The sacrifice of Christ is essentially once for all, being that unique action which alone can ultimately deal with sin. The uniqueness of Christ's sacrifice depends on the uniqueness of the person of Christ and his superior high priestly office. In his sacrificial action Christ is also the sin-bearer. The high priestly sacrifice of Christ determines the form of the high priestly ministry of Christ, which is also gift to God, communion with God, has expiatory significance, and is a ministry of the new covenant . The high priestly ministry of Christ is a ministry which is continuous through time and is both contemporaneous with and subsequent to his sacrifice. In this continuity through time the ministry of Christ is the foundation of both the faith of believers and their perfection as sons. In the execution of his high priestly ministry Christ is perfected by God through the learning of obedience. The humiliation of Christ and his learning of obedience becomes the foundation of the perfecting of believers. It is as the One who is perfected through suffering that Christ becomes the pioneer of salvation and the pioneer and perfecter of the faith of the people of God. Through faith in Christ the people of God constitute a pilgrim people who, on the basis of Christ's perfection, are themselves perfected and brought to glory. The pilgrim people of God share in the priesthood of Christ and constitute a priesthood of all believers. In their pilgrimage of faith they are to demonstrate their confidence, endurance, obedience, and discipline, and in their running of the race of pilgrimage are to exercise their own ministry as they progress to glory and the sabbath rest of God. The high priesthood of Christ has implications for the common life of the people of God and is at the foundation of our understanding of the Christian life.

Undersökningen hade till syfte att undersöka och belysa häktade personers upplevelser av isoleringen som häktad. Syftet var även att belysa häktades isolering utifrån häktespersonals perspektiv. Detta för att få en fördjupad förståelse för isoleringen som socialt fenomen. Då jag hade intresse av intervjupersonernas erfarenheter i form av ett utförligt berättande valdes kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer med narrativ karaktär. I bearbetningen av empiri valdes kodning utifrån en hermeneutisk tradition. Jag arbetade i flera omgångar med empirin där kodning och analys var inspirerad av hermeneutiken. Detta gjordes för att korta ned text och finna intressanta och viktiga ord samt meningar som hermeneutiken sedan hjälper till att förklara. Teoretiska begrepp utgår berör bland annat skam/makt samt kriminell livsstil. Resultatet bygger på teman om de häktades tillvaro som inlåsta och därmed isolerade samt personalens bemötandes innebörd. Resultatet påvisade att häktade upplever tillvaron som frustrerande samt känslor så som ångest, maktlöshet och ovisshet genomsyrar vardagen. Detta på grund av begränsningar av frihet och självbestämmanderätten. Studien påvisar att intervjupersoner upplever häktestiden som jobbigast i början av vistelsen. De häktade verkar till synes komma in i rutiner samt finner egna strategier för att anpassa sig till situationen som inlåst. Känslor upplevs bli kraftigare i samband med inlåsningen och de häktade kan inte riktigt sätta fingret på varför det är på detta viset. Häktespersonalen försöker interagera med häktade genom simpla fraser i korridoren, stöttande samtal med upprörda individer samt störningsmoment för att även försöka finna de tysta. Även om den häktade ej är mottaglig samt ej vill ha kontakt med personal, genomför häktespersonalen ändock en insats som passar just den individen.The study was intended to examine and elucidate detainees' experiences of isolation that detained. The aim was also to elucidate arrested insulation outside prison personnel perspective. This is to get a deeper understanding of the insulation as a social phenomenon. As I was interested in interviewees' experiences in the form of a detailed narrative a qualitative method was chosen in the form of interviews with the narrative character. In the processing of empiricism was coding chosen in combination with the hermeneutic tradition. I was working in several installments with empirical data where coding and analysis was inspired by hermeneutics. This was done to shorten the text and to find interesting and important words and sentences that hermeneutics then helps to explain.Theoretical concepts regards shame/power and also a criminal lifestyleamong other thing. Results are based on themes related to the arrested existence as locked up and thus isolated and the meaning of prisonguards treatment towards arrested. The study indicates that respondents perceive detention time hardest at the beginning of the stay. The detainees appear to seemingly get into routines and find strategies to adapt to the situation as locked up. Emotions are perceived to be more strongly associated with the lock-in and the detainees can not quite put their finger on why it is this way. Custody staff are trying to interact with detainees through simple phrases in the hallway, supportive conversations with affected individuals and distraction to even try to find the quiet. Even if the arrestee is not responsive and not want to have contact with staff, conducts detention staff still an effort that suits the individual.

The mayor, with his assistants, is the Officer of Civil Status par excellence. As a State's representative at municipal level, he ensures the administration of a service which is accessible and close to the citizens. The two-fold responsibility arising from this function tends to meet both State and individual needs. As an executive municipal body and a decentralized public authority, the mayor plays a unique role in the law of persons and the family law. Therefore, he is often compared to a notary or a registrar. On the borderline between private law and public law, his hybrid position which has a definite interest with regard to the requirements of social organisation, could nevertheless be improved

Thesis (PhD (School of Public Management and Planning
))—University of Stellenbosch, 2009.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since 1994, education and training in South Africa has experienced various changes, driven mainly by the Green Paper on Skills Development and the White Paper on Education which set objectives and outcomes and gave guidelines on how education and training should be approached, planned, and managed. The White Paper on Education necessitated change in SA tertiary institutions such as Stellenbosch University and its respective faculties. The Faculty of Military Science, which is situated at the South African Military Academy (SAMA) in Saldanha, accepted the challenge of contributing to the full personal development of students, by undertaking to shape people capable of organising and managing themselves and their human activities, including their financial activities, responsibly and effectively. The success of higher education institutions in empowering young people to be financially capable is questioned by various publications and surveys. Preliminary findings from surveys in 2004 and 2005 among students at the SAMA suggest that they are largely financially illiterate, thus potentially economically volatile. These findings introduce the research problem and serve as a foundation for the development of a scientific, socially relevant, valid and reliable financial literacy measurement instrument. A combined qualitative and quantitative research methodology is applied to develop a measurement instrument, which is then assessed for validity and reliability by applying it in a case study. The secondary objective of this research is the social study of the financial knowledge, financial behaviour and financial attitude levels of individuals. To ensure relevance between the case study and the measurement instrument, financial literacy is initially evaluated as a management competency. Financial literacy is stated as a key competency in the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). The financial literacy measurement instrument was constructed after an exploration of the contextual and conceptual nature of financial literacy. A questionnaire was selected as the ideal method of gathering the required information. The questionnaire’s validity and reliability were assessed as part of descriptive research in the development phase, as well as in the case study. The face and content validity were proven through input from respondents and subject experts. Reliability of the measurement instrument was assessed by calculating item difficulty, item discrimination, means, standard deviations and ultimately the internal consistency of the financial knowledge, behaviour and attitude sections of the measurement instrument. In the case study first-year students achieved an average of 50.17% for their financial knowledge although they rated their own knowledge levels to be 60.8%. The respondents struggled most with questions pertaining to investment, insurance, and inflation, and least with retirement and income and expenditure questions. This research underlines the importance of financial literacy as a management competency and its importance at a global, national, organisational and personal level. It produces a valid and reliable financial literacy measurement instrument that can be used by different stakeholders in South Africa to assess financial knowledge, behaviour and attitude, and thus indicate where intervention is required. Having a valid and reliable measurement instrument for measuring financial literacy creates opportunity for future research and development.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sedert 1994 het die opvoeding- en opleidingsteater in Suid-Afrika dramatiese veranderinge ondergaan met veral die die Groenskrif op Vaardigheidsontwikkeling en die Witskrif op Opvoeding, wat die doelwitte en uitkomste gestel het en die toon aangegee het in terme van hoe opvoeding en opleiding aangepak, beplan en bestuur behoort te word. Verandering genoodsaak deur die Witskrif op Opvoeding sou by assosiasie ook verandering noodsaak in SA tersiêre inrigtings soos Stellenbosch Universiteit en haar fakulteite. Die Fakulteit Krygskunde, gevestig by die Suid-Afrkaanse Millitêre Akademie (SAMA) in Saldanha, het die uitdaging aanvaar om by te dra tot die totale persoonlike ontwikkeling van studente deur te onderneem om mense te vorm wat in staat sal wees om hulself en hul aktiwiteite verantwoordelik en doeltreffend te bestuur, insluitend hul finansiële aktiwiteite. Hoër Onderwys se sukses met die bemagtiging van jong mense tot finansieel vaardige individue is deur verskeie navorsingsverslae bevraagteken. Voorlopige bevindinge van studies in 2004 en 2005 onder voograadse studente van die SAMA is dat hulle grootliks finansieel ongeletterd is en gevolglik ekonomies kwesbaar. Die bevindinge is die vertrekpunt van die probleemstelling vir hierdie studie, en vorm die basis vir die ontwikkeling van 'n wetenskaplik- en sosiaalrelevante, geldige en betroubare finansiële geletterdheidsmetingsinstrument. 'n Gekombineerde kwalitatiefkwantitatiewe navorsingsmetodologie is toegepas in die ontwikkeling van 'n metingsinstrument, en die verbandhoudende bepaling van sy geldigheid en betroubaarheid deur die toepassing daarvan in 'n gevallestudie. Die sekondêre doelwit van hierdie navorsing is die sosiale studie van die finansiële kennis-, finansiële gedrags- en finansiële houdingsvlakke van individue. Ten einde relevansie tussen die gevallestudie en die metingsinstrument te verseker, is finansiële geletterdheid aanvanklik as 'n bestuursvaardigheid geëvalueer. Finansiële geletterdheid word in die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag (SANW), as kernvaardigheid aangedui. Die finansiële geletterdheidsinstrument is gekonstrueer na 'n verkenning van die konteksuele en konsepsuele aard van finansiële geletterdheid. 'n Vraelys is geselekteer as die ideale metode om die relevante data te bekom. Die vraelys se geldigheid en betroubaarheid is as deel van deskriptiewe navorsing in die ontwikkelingsfase, en ook tydens die gevallestudie, bepaal. Die gesigs- en inhoudsgeldigheid is bevestig deur respondentterugvoer en vakspesialisinsette. Betroubaarheid van die metingsinstrument is bepaal deur die berekening van itemmoeilikheidsgraad, itemdiskriminasie, gemiddelde, standaardafwyking en uiteindelik interne betroubaarheid van die finansiële kennis-, gedrags- en houdingsafdelings van die metingsinstrument. In die gevallestudie, het eerstejaarstudente 'n gemiddeld van 50.17% vir die kennisfaktor behaal, alhoewel hulle hul eie kennisvlakke gemiddeld as 60.8% aangedui het. Respondente het hoofsaaklik gesukkel met kennisvrae wat handel oor beleggings, versekering en inflasie. Hul het die minste gesukkel met kennisvrae wat handel oor aftrede en inkomste en uitgawes. Hierdie navorsing bevestig die belangrikheid van finansiële geletterdheid as bestuursvaardigheid, asook op 'n globale, nasionale, organisatoriese en persoonlike vlak. Hierdie studie het 'n geldige en betroubare finansiële geletterdheidsmetingsinstrument opgelewer; een wat deur diverse finansiële geletterdheidsaandeelhouers in Suid-Afrika aangewend kan word. Hierdie metingsinstrument sal empiriese inligting oor finansiële kennis-, gedrags-, en houdingsvlakke genereer en aantoon waar intervensie benodig word. Die belangrikheid van finansiële geletterdheid, sowel as die noodsaak vir 'n geldige en geloofwaardige metingsinstrument, is geleenthede vir verdere navorsing en ontwikkeling.

The purpose of this study was to determine if a police officer's use of alcohol in his/her personal life affected their arrest decision in impaired driving cases. A survey was developed and reviewed by a jury of experts consisting of traffic safety specialists from across Indiana, to gather information concerning officer demographics, use of alcohol, and belief in the importance of impaired driving enforcement. Results indicated that sixty-one (61) officers fit the criteria of 1) patrolling during darkness hours throughout the year 2002, and 2) were complete the survey. Most officers were male (88%), between twenty-one and thirty-five years of age (79%), and had less than ten years of law enforcement experience (74%).The data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and ANOVA to test the null hypothesis. There was no statistical relationship between the decision to arrest and the personal use of alcohol by the officer. There was also no statistical relationship between the decision to arrest and any of the demographic categories. The only item that showed a statistical relationship was between the decision to arrest and an officer indicating they believed the problem of impaired driving was somewhat important.Department of Physiology and Health Science

This dissertation examines the christological thought of Thomas Todhunter Shields between the years 1894 to 1930, along with its influence on his view of the Bible and of the Christian's role within his/her culture.T. T. Shields was one of the most prominent Fundamentalist leaders in the 1920's. While a popularizer rather than an academic his thought merits study due to his influence within Fundamentalism and his reputation for being one of the more "thoughtful" of Fundamentalists.
Shields' christology was monophysitic and docetic leading, in time, to a full blown christo-monism which effectively removed Christ from his mediatorial role. In place of Christ, Shields virtually substituted the Bible; and the characteristics that he had attributed to the Christ (viz., transcendence of error and 'the human element') he now attributed to the Scriptures. Shields' christology also resulted in a truncation of his conception the church, particularly with respect to the question of Christian mission.

Full textAbstract:
Current building design and engineering practices emphasizing on energy conservation can be improved further by developing methods focusing on building occupants’ needs and interests in conservation. Specifically, the resulting energy effective building performance improvements cannot reach the desired goals, if the resulting indoor environmental conditions do not meet thermal, visual and air quality needs of the occupants. To meet both energy conservation and human performance requirements simultaneously requires to give the occupants information regarding indoor environmental qualities and energy implications of possible individual decisions. This requires that building control components and systems must enable occupants to understand how the building operates and how their own actions meet both their needs and the energy and environmental goals of the building project.
The goal of the research and experiments of this dissertation is to explore if real-time information regarding visual comfort requirements to meet a variety of tasks and to simultaneously conserve energy, improves occupant behavior to meet both objectives. Two workplaces in Robert L. Preger Intelligent Workplace were equipped to test the performance of 60 invited participants in conducting computer based tasks and a paper based task, under three difference lighting controls:
1) Centralized lighting control with no user choice
2) User control of
- blind positions for daylight shading
- ceiling based lighting fixture luminance output level
- task lighting: on/off
3) User control the three components (as listed under point 2 above), with provided simultaneous information regarding energy and related CO2 emissions implications, appropriate light levels meeting tasks requirements, and best choices in order to meet both task requirements and energy conservation goals/objectives.
The main findings of the experiments are that real-time information (listed under point 3 above) enables users to meet the visual quality requirements for both computer tasks and the paper task, and to conserve significant amounts of electricity for lighting. Furthermore, the 60 invited participants were asked to identify the importance of the four types of provided information tested in point 3 above. While individual users identified the importance of different information categories, the overall assessment were considered to be significant.

An LSS officer’s activities are governed by laws and regulations and it has great power in influencing the individual's situation when reweaving its case. Officer’s actions have effects on the applicant and it can use its power and not look after the individual's best. Its interest can lie in community and his own position. This study deals with the officers’ ways to assess and officers in it are working for two different municipalities in Sweden. The purpose of this study is to determine if the assessment of the right to personal assistance is consistent with what the law stipulates. The intention is to find out whether it differs between different officers, that is, if the various municipalities relate to the same principles. If municipalities do not consider the same premises, there is a risk that the individual does not get the help that it needs. For this topic I used a vignette study, which aims to find out how people are reviewing different situations. Informants may have access to one or more hypothetical situation and were asked to answer questions and talk about how they appreciate the situation. In this study, the different municipalities gave different rulings.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the question, 'Who do South African police officers think they are and how does this shape police practice?' Based on eight months of ethnographic fieldwork in Cape Town and the Eastern Cape province of South Africa in 2012/13, it is an exploration of the deep-seated perceptions, stories and imaginings that South African Police Service (SAPS) officers have of themselves, their occupation and their country, in the early twenty-first century. It unpacks how officers’ individual narratives shape, and are shaped by organisational narratives and forces, and how this interplay influences police practice in an unequal and violent young democracy. The thesis suggests that a job in the SAPS is primarily just that, a job. It is a means to strive and survive in a country saturated in vulnerability and risk. Most officers join the organisation after other dreams have slipped out of reach. Once recruited they re-write their self-narratives to accommodate their new circumstances. Recruited from lineages long-oppressed, the meaning and income the job brings to their lives is usually more important to them than the work they carry out. As a result, they seek first to please their institutional overseers and ease the pressure of the job. This is achieved by enacting institutional performances that promote the idea that the SAPS is a rational, effective, evidence-based and rule-bound organisation made of up well trained officers performing common-sense crime prevention tasks, while hiding the darker side of police work. Using carefully choreographed performances, the SAPS and its officers present a strategically crafted façade behind which individual officers strive to secure their sense of self. When the façade is challenged, some resort to violence in an attempt to garner the respect they seek.

Wei, Shen. "Preference-based modelling and prediction of occupants window behaviour in non-air-conditioned office buildings." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2013. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/14066.
Full textAbstract:
In naturally ventilated buildings, occupants play a key role in the performance and energy efficiency of the building operation, mainly through the opening and closing of windows. To include the effects of building occupants within building performance simulation, several useful models describing building occupants and their window opening/closing behaviour have been generated in the past 20 years. However, in these models, the occupants are classified based on the whole population or on sub-groups within a building, whilst the behavioural difference between individuals is commonly ignored. This research project addresses this latter issue by evaluating the importance of the modelling and prediction of occupants window behaviour individually, rather than putting them into a larger population group. The analysis is based on field-measured data collected from a case study building containing a number of single-occupied cellular offices. The study focuses on the final position of windows at the end of the working day. In the survey, 36 offices and their occupants were monitored, with respect to the occupants presence and window use behaviour, in three main periods of a year: summer, winter and transitional. From the behaviour analysis, several non-environmental factors, namely, season, floor level, gender and personal preference, are identified to have a statistically significant effect on the end-of-day window position in the building examined. Using these factors, occupants window behaviour is modelled by three different classification methods of building occupants, namely, whole population, sub-groups and personal preference. The preference-based model is found to perform much better predictive ability on window state when compared with those developed based on whole population and sub-groups. When used in a realistic building simulation problem, the preference-based prediction of window behaviour can reflect well the different energy performance among individual rooms, caused by different window use patterns. This cannot be demonstrated by the other two models. The findings from this research project will help both building designers and building managers to obtain a more accurate prediction of building performance and a better understanding of what is happening in actual buildings. Additionally, if the habits and behavioural preferences of occupants are well understood, this knowledge can be potentially used to increase the efficiency of building operation, by either relocating occupants within the building or by educating them to be more energy efficient.

Full textAbstract:
Studiens syfte är att studera ohövligt beteende som individer i kontorsverksamheten upplever, bevittnar eller själva utövat samt bidra med kunskap om nuvarande typer av ohövligt beteende i samtida arbetsliv samt bidra med kunskap inom området genom att jämföra tidigare forskning som utförts inom ämnet. Studien grundar sig i en kvantitativ metod samt en tematisk analys där en enkätstudie distribuerades via mejl till fyra företag och ett fackförbund placerade runt om i Sverige, samt två sociala medier genom personliga inlägg som var offentliga på hela plattformen. Totalt 51 svar samlades in från enkätstudien. Resultatet visade att ohövlighet är mycket vanligt på kontorsverksamheter i Sverige. Den grupp som har högst risk att utsättas för ohövligt beteende på kontorsverksamheter är kvinnor. Resultatet visade en signifikant skillnad mellan åldersgrupper och grupper med olika yrkeserfarenhet gällande i vilken grad man utsatte andra för ohövligt beteende. Studien visade även ett positivt samband mellan frekvensen av ohövlighet och upplevd trygghet samt upplevd trivsel på arbetsplatsen. Den vanligaste formen av ohövlighet i kontorsverksamheter är olika former av exkludering som undvikande beteende, undanhålla information och att inte ge andra medarbetare respekt. Resultatet visade att den vanligaste formen att diskutera ohövlighet sker i form av officiella schemalagda möten.The aim of this study was to investigate workplace incivility that individuals may experience, witness or practice in office operations and contribute with knowledge about the current sort of workplace incivility behavior in contemporary working life and compare previous research conducted within the subject. The study is based in a quantitative and a thematic analysis where an online survey was distributed via email to four private companies and one trade union in Sweden and two social media platforms through personal posts that were public across the platform. A total of 51 answers were collected from the online survey. The result from this study showed that workplace incivility is a relative common in office operations in Sweden. The group that has the highest risk of being targeted by workplace incivility in office operations are women. The results showed a significant difference between age groups and groups with different professional experience regarding the degree to expose others to rude behavior. The study also found a positive correlation between the frequency of workplace incivility and experienced safety and also pleasantness at the workplace. The most common behavior of workplace incivility in office operations is different forms of exclusion as avoidance behavior, withholding information and not give another coworkers respect. Results showed that the most common way of communicating working climate are by having official scheduled meetings.

Full textAbstract:
Coping is an important concept to explain stress-related factors because it is a process that is mediated by both primary, and secondary appraisal (Lazarus &Folkman, 1984). The present study aims to examine the extent to which correctional officers'
cognitive appraisal associated with stress, and to develop, and test models including work stress, cognitive appraisal of stress, affect-related variables, coping strategies, psychological distress, and psychological adjustment. For this aim, a total of 268 correctional officers from seven different prisons in Turkey participated in the present study. The subjects were given Stress Appraisal Measure (SAM), Work Stress Scale for Correctional Officers (WSSCO), Positive, and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Emotional Approach Coping Scale (EACS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait Form (STAI-T), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS), and The Ways of Coping Inventory (WCI) in addition to Demographic Information Form. A variety of hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to reveal the significant associates of psychological distress and adjustment. According to the results of regression analyses, four models were developed, and tested by structural equation modeling. The results of the present study demonstrated that different cognitive appraisals, different affect-related variables, different coping strategies combined to influence psychological distress, and psychological adjustment measures in addition to the direct effects of work stress. Following discussion of the results in terms of theoretical, and methodological perspectives, the limitations of the present study, and the suggestions for future research were also handled.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the impact of the Caroline reform policies during the Personal Rule on the organisation, work-load, and morale of parish officers. In addition to suggesting a national approach to the study of local government, it examines the enforcement of the Book of Orders, Ship Money, and the Perfect Militia at the parochial level during the 1630s. The sources employed include the rich correspondence between the Privy Council and county governors (JPs, Sheriffs, Deputy Lieutenants), and all available parish officers' accounts from thirty-nine English counties and corporate towns. It is argued that the pattern of response to national policies was strongly influenced by communal values, and the administrative standards and individual character of local officeholders. The enforcement of the Caroline reform policies depended on their political acceptability and the ability of the Privy Council and county governors to coerce parish officers. While the Book of Orders was generally welcome in the localities, its implementation was adapted to local necessities and the administrative inertia of both JPs and parish officers. The supervision of the enforcement was restricted by the extreme dependency of superiors on information from parish officers. The administration of Ship Money was thwarted by local assessment disputes, economic depression, and political opposition. Its collection met with significant difficulties from the very start, and ceased under the pressure communities exerted on their officers. Far from being perfect, the militias maintained their standard under the constant supervision of the Deputy Lieutenants. The control of parishes over their officers was emphasised during the recruitment for the Scots' Wars and the collection of Coat and Conduct Money, both of which were causes of the failure of the English army. In conclusion, this thesis proposes that the response to national policies in early modern England varied considerably from community to community. A voluntary and highly decentralised system of local government was unsuitable to enforce contentious policies against the will of the population. The 1630s saw the partial breakdown of local government which significantly contributed to the collapse of the Personal Rule in 1640.

Passar-se moltes hores assegut i moure’s poc està associat al desenvolupament de malalties cròniques. Els llocs de treball d'oficina han estat considerats entorns clau per reduir aquests comportaments sedentaris amb substitució d’activitats que impliquen una major despesa energètica. Per això, l’objectiu principal de la tesi és investigar l’impacte d'una intervenció per reduir el temps assegut i augmentar l'activitat física en treballadors d'oficina a l’estat espanyol.
En l’estudi 1, es va dur a terme un disseny quasi-experimental amb treballadors de sis campus universitaris espanyols (n=264). La intervenció va consistir en una pàgina web que proposava estratègies ecològiques per incrementar progressivament el nombre de passes mitjançant tasques laborals actives, rutes caminant, i l’augment de la intensitat caminant. Utilitzant un model mixt lineal, els resultats varen mostrar una interacció significativa en temps assegut, nombre de passes i perímetre de cintura. En l’estudi 2 es varen realitzar entrevistes semi-estructurades a 12 participants del programa W@WS en tres moments al llarg de la intervenció. A partir de les dades generades qualitativament mitjançant un anàlisi temàtic, els treballadors del grup intervenció (n=88) varen completar una enquesta per identificar el grau d’ús de les estratègies. Els resultats varen mostrar les tasques de treball més actives i l’augment de la intensitat caminant, com les estratègies més utilitzades. Les reunions actives i els grups de caminar a l’hora del dinar varen ser les menys utilitzades a causa la manca de temps i les normes culturals inherents als llocs de treball. Registrar el nombre de passes i el temps assegut va ser el factor facilitador més important mentre que tenir una feina basada en tasques d’ordenador va ser la barrera més prevalent. A partir de l’aprenentatge dels dos anteriors estudis, en l’estudi 3, una revisió sistemàtica va estudiar la viabilitat de l’ús dels ‘smartphones’ per mesurar i promoure estils de vida actius. Vint-i-sis articles varen ser inclosos per a la síntesi qualitativa. La fiabilitat en la precisió de mesura dels patrons d’activitat física i comportament sedentari va ser del 52-100%. Només cinc estudis varen avaluar els efectes d'intervenció: utilitzant disseny pre-post i un amb grup control.
La integració d'un menú d’estratègies per seure’s menys i moure’s més a la feina (W@WS) és efectiu en l'assoliment de canvis petits però sostinguts en el nombre de passes caminant i el temps assegut ocupacional. Degut al potencial dels ‘smartphones’ per mesurar patrons d´activitat física i influir en estils de vida actius, futurs estudis amb millor disseny haurien d´avaluar l´efectivitat d´aquests dispositius en intervencions de reducció del temps assegut en els llocs de treball.Sitting too much and moving too little affects the development of many chronic diseases. Office workplaces are key settings to reduce and break up occupational sitting by replacing sedentary time with step counts. Therefore, the aim of the thesis was to investigate the impact of an intervention to reduce occupational sitting time and increase physical activity in Spanish office workers. Study One used a quasi-experimental pre-post comparison design at six Spanish university campuses (n=264). The intervention consisted of a web page that provide ecologically based strategies to progressively increase baseline step counts through incidental movement, short and long walks, and higher step count frequency and intensity. Using a linear mixed model analyses, findings identified a significant interaction for self-reported occupational sitting, daily step counts and waist circumference. Study Two conducted semi-structured interviews (n=12) throughout the intervention. Workers who finished the intervention (n=88) completed a survey rating the extent to which ‘sit less, move more’ strategies were used and those factors that enabled or limited strategy uptake. Findings indicated that ‘active work tasks’ and ‘increases in walking intensity’ were the strategies most frequently used. ‘Sitting time and step count logging’ was the most important enabler of behaviour change while ‘screen based work’ was the most significant barrier limiting the uptake of strategies. Progressing the learning of the previous studies, Study Three systematically reviewed evidence on smartphones and their viability for measuring and influencing physical activity. Twenty-six articles were included in the review. Measurement accuracy was moderate-to-excellent and smartphone strategies to influence physical activity tended to be ad-hoc. Five articles assessed physical activity intervention effects; and only one was focused on workplace setting. W@WS was effective in achieving small but sustained changes in occupational sitting and step counts by facilitating the uptake of a menu of ‘sit less and move more’ strategies, that can overcome office work environmental barriers. New smartphone technology needs to be a central feature of ICT based interventions that target occupational sitting and physical activity given the novel and engaging capabilities these devices provide for measuring and influencing behaviour change in real time.

Full textAbstract:
O trabalho em casa é uma das opções do teletrabalho: o trabalho realizado regularmente fora das instalações do empregador utilizando-se tecnologias de informação (UK Trade Union Congress, 2002). Também chamado de home office, o trabalho em casa possui benefícios percebidos por empresas, trabalhadores e sociedade. Os valores pessoais são objetivos transacionais desejáveis, que variam em importância, e servem como princípios que guiam a vida (Schwartz, 1992) e podem influenciar as decisões e atitudes das pessoas (Rohan, 2000), podendo assim, influenciar na opção pelo trabalho em casa. Sabe-se que nem todas as ocupações são passíveis de trabalhar em casa por sua natureza, e que nem todos os trabalhadores estão aptos a trabalhar em casa. Identificar o perfil e valores pessoais predominantes nos teletrabalhadores brasileiros e quais os principais benefícios percebidos por eles quando trabalham em casa é o objetivo deste trabalho. Uma pesquisa quantitativa por meio de um survey eletrônico com 178 trabalhadores foi realizada. Os resultados apontam que a favorabilidade ao trabalho em casa já supera a favorabilidade do trabalho no escritório (comparando-se as médias e medianas) e que os brasileiros gostariam de trabalhar em média 3,15 dias em casa por semana. Análises descritivas, bi e multivariadas apontam que o perfil dos trabalhadores que optam pelo trabalho em casa pode ser delineado por seus valores pessoais, a condição de seu ambiente familiar para a realização do trabalho (permite, pode ser adaptado, ou não permite o trabalho em casa), sua experiência em home office (já trabalhou, trabalha ou nunca trabalhou em casa), e se trabalha em empresa pública ou privada. A quantidade de dias que o trabalhador prefere trabalhar em casa está relacionada com os valores pessoais, ambiente familiar, experiência em home office e sexo do trabalhador. Os resultados obtidos não sugerem relações entre distância da casa do trabalhador ao o escritório, faixa etária, grau de escolaridade ou localidade onde trabalha (capital, região metropolitana ou interior) como preditores da escolha do trabalhador pelo trabalho em casa. Modelos de regressão linear múltipla e regressão logística binária são apresentados para explicar a variância das declarações de favorabilidade ao trabalho em casa e da quantidade de dias da semana que se prefere trabalhar em casa. Estabeleceu-se uma hierarquia dos benefícios percebidos pelos trabalhadores com relação ao trabalho em casa, sendo os principais benefícios: (1) melhor utilização do tempo, pois o tempo de deslocamento ao trabalho não é mais necessário e pode ser poupado; (2) melhor balanço da vida pessoal e profissional, pelo aumento da flexibilidade de administrar o tempo e o horário disponível para o trabalho e para atividades pessoais; (3) melhor qualidade de vida, pela diminuição do stress causado pelas dificuldades de deslocamento. Os resultados apresentados são relevantes: para a comunidade científica, uma vez que expandem o conhecimento do teletrabalho e dos valores e atitudes no Brasil; para as empresas ao ajudar a identificar melhor o perfil do teletrabalhador e na compreensão dos benefícios identificados por eles ao trabalhar em casa; para trabalhadores possibilitando-os compreender os benefícios do home office e a melhor distribuição de dias de trabalho em casa e no escritório sugerida a partir dos dados observados.Working from home is one category of telework: the regular work carried out away from the employer\'s premises on a regular basis and using information technology (UK Trade Union Congress, 2002). Also known as home office, working from home has benefits for companies, workers and the society. Personal values are desirable transactional goals that vary in importance and serve as guiding principles of life (Schwartz, 1992). Values can influence people\'s decisions and attitudes (Rohan, 2000), thus, they may influence the workers home office\'s choices. It is known that not all occupations by nature are likely to be performed from home, nor all workers are able to telework. This research aims to identify the profile and personal values of Brazilian teleworkers and the main benefits perceived by them when working at home. A quantitative research using an electronic survey was conducted with 178 workers. The results indicate that work at home\'s favorability exceeds work at office\'s one (comparing mean and median) and that Brazilians would like to work at home 3.15 days per week on average. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate analysis indicate that home office worker\'s profile can be delineated by their personal values, home environment (if its allows, can be adapted or disallows home office), home office experience (had worked, is working or had never worked at home) and company type (public or private). The number of days that the employee prefers to work at home is related to personal values, home environment, home office experience and work gender. The results suggest no relationship between home to office distance, age, education degree or work location (capital, metropolitan or inner region) as predictors of worker home office\'s choice. Multivariate linear regression and binary logistic regression models are presented to explain the variance statements of home office\'s favorability and the amount of weekdays workers prefer to work from home. The research establishes a home office perceived benefits\' hierarchy showing the following main benefits: (1) better time usage as the communing time is no longer needed and can be saved; (2) better personal and work balance, by increased flexibility to manage work and personal activities\' time and schedule; (3) better quality of life by decreasing telecommuting stress. The results presented are relevant for the scientific community, since it expands the Brazilian telework, values and attitudes\' knowledge; for companies by helping them to better identify teleworker\'s profile and understanding the benefits identified by workers while working at home; for workers, by enabling them to understand home office\'s benefits and the best distribution of working days at home and at office suggested by the observed data.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined academic administrators from Arizona community colleges to determine whether those with different personal (age, sex, administrative experience, office automation experience) and demographic (job title, geographic location) characteristics differed in their office automation attitudes and their perceptions of knowledge and skills. Three subsidiary interests of the study were to examine whether administrators with different (1) perceptions of the importance of--and comfort with--automation skills and knowledge differ in their automation attitudes, knowledge, skill, and geographic location, (2) different demographic variables differ in their amount of--and skill with--automation equipment and software, and (3) different attitudes, knowledge, and skill characteristics differ in their use of automation equipment and software. The literature review discussed the evolution and impact of office automation, office automation in educational settings, and the nature of skills and knowledge in office automation. Research questions focused on the differences in office automation attitudes and perceptions of office automation knowledge and skill of administrators with different (1) personal and demographic characteristics, (2) perceptions of the importance (professionally and to their office) of--and comfort with--office automation, and (3) amounts of, skill with, and use of office automation equipment and software. Results suggest that academic administrators generally (1) have positive office automation attitudes, (2) view office automation as professionally important and important to their offices, (3) show deficiencies in their office automation knowledge and skill. In addition, younger administrators (25-46 years), with the job titles of Dean/Associate Dean, who have experience with office automation (9-15 years) and are employed by urban community colleges are more likely to implement office automation in their offices than older administrators (over 46 years), with the titles of Division Chair or Vice President, who have worked with office automation less than 9 years or more than 16 years, and who are employed by rural community colleges. Recommendations are suggested for continued study in evaluation and assessment of academic administrators' office automation attitudes, knowledge, and skill.
