Download or read book The Changing Patterns of Human Resource Management written by Farhad Analoui and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: Human Resource Development (HRD) arguably constitutes the most important aspect of managing resources at work. In this context, HRD has for some time played a significant role in Western business management. This volume focuses on the changing role of human resource management (HRM) on an international spectrum, and its implication for the role that HRM plays within organizations in developed and developing economies. Critically assessing HRM in the context of public and private organizations and NGOs based in South East Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, the volume focuses on the role of managers as both influenced and influencing change agents who determine the future of HRM. It examines changing patterns of HRM in terms of orientation, initiatives, policies and practices, and explores the possibility of a more flexible and constructive approach to ’gender’ as women increasingly occupy more managerial and executive positions.

Download or read book Identification of Change Patterns for the Generation of Models of Work as Done using Eye tracking written by Arenius, Marcus and published by kassel university press GmbH. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this PhD a method was developed to identify systematic patterns of change in visual attention allocation (change patterns). The change patterns were then integrated into the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) for the generation of models of work-as-done. The change patterns were validated against known changes in visual attention allocation due to shifts in functions of work-as-done in several eye-tracking studies: three simulator studies, one field study and one experimental study. In total approx. 50 hours of eye-tracking data was analyzed. The results of the method were validated quantitatively and qualitatively. In the quantitative validation, the changes in visual attention allocation due to changes in functions were covered with a mean deviation of approx. 13 seconds averaged over all datasets (2% deviation relative to the recording lengths). In the qualitative validation, the change patterns produced were found to be plausible for the evaluated studies. Finally, it was demonstrated how the change patterns can be integrated into FRAM and potentially contribute to the understanding of emergent effects in industries with high levels of automation.
Download or read book Changing Patterns of European Family Life written by Katja Boh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-09 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1989, this cross-national study investigates the role and pattern of family life in fourteen countries in contemporary Europe. Providing a wealth of information on European families, it is a key source for anyone wishing to understand the changes in the family at that time. The contributors argue that, far from withering away, the family remained a very important social unit which continued to have considerable influence on other social institutions such as the state and the labour market. The central theme is the interrelation between changes in production and working life on one hand, and changes in family life and reproduction on the other. The contributors focus on the pressures and contradictions produced by the division of functions between family and work, and on problems which have arisen as a consequence of the sometimes incompatible and even conflicting demands of the two institutions. They show that the evolution of the nuclear family model in Europe had led to a great diversity of family patterns, and conclude that the family in modern European societies still had a contribution to make which no other institution could provide.
Download or read book Changing Patterns in the Distribution of Economic Welfare written by Peter Gottschalk and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-09-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1997 book examines the income distributional experience of fifteen developed economies - representing a wide range of social and economic strategies - over the past two decades. Experts from each of the countries have carefully documented the pattern of distributional change in individual earnings and household income in their countries and analysed the driving forces behind these changes. Separate chapters are devoted to the experiences of Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, West and former East Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. The authors examine the effects on the inequality of household income of the development of individual earnings, unemployment, inflation, public sector transfers and taxes, and demographic changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A thoughtful assessment of socioeconomic needs and influences, observing the necessity for benefits as well as the lessons of experience offered by various nations"--Library Bookwatch Over the last two decades, aging populations, changing family structures, market forces of globalization, strains of immigration, and political and ideological realignments have joined to create powerful pressures that are reshaping the design and philosophy of social welfare policies. Changing Patterns of Social Protection analyzes emerging patterns of social welfare and the implications of these trends for the future of social protection to vulnerable groups in France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States. Examining central policy trends in these countries, contributors explore current reforms of mainline programs: old age pensions, disability and unemployment insurance, family assistance, health care, and social services. The findings highlight how modern dynamics of social protection are manifest through reforms that include diverse social and economic incentives, changing benefit structures, a wide range of work-oriented measures, the resurgence of private activity, and current approaches to targeting benefits. Assessments of the socioeconomic influences that have precipitated these reforms reveal a broad range of common factors as well as country-specific influences such as the clientelistic approach to welfare in Italy, the complexities of reunification in Germany, and the "Dutch disease" of explosive claims for disability benefits. Changing Patterns of Social Protection offers insights into the issues raised by these policy reforms and their possible effects. By clarifying alternative policy designs this work affords a fresh perspective on how to think about the changing structure and function of social welfare arrangements in modern society.

Download or read book Changing Patterns of Power written by Thomas S. Popkewitz and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reform of teacher education has been a focal point of state action in industrial countries since the early 1980s. Given this convergence of educational and governmental activity, the studies presented here are a significant departure from conventional discourse on reform, because they explore the ways that social regulation and political power operate through the processes of educational reform. This book considers the reform of teacher education to be an integral part of the larger system of social regulation that takes place in the arena of schooling. Reforms in teacher education involve complex sets of interactions among and within social institutions. These interactions help shape power relations and patterns of social regulation that operate through state, university, and school interactions. Nevertheless, the patterns that give direction and value to teacher education are not easily discerned in public discussions of educational change. Instead, many of the most important regulatory aspects of teacher education reform are partly obscured by a public discourse that focuses attention on formal responses to socioeconomic events, and that tends to divert critical attention away from the power that is exercised--and the interests that are served--during reform. This volume presents studies of reform in Australia, Finland, Iceland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Although these countries differ in their political and social histories, rates and levels of industrialization, and patterns of educational practice, there is a striking commonality in both the strategies that are employed to reform teacher education, and in the nature of social regulation that is a concomitant of reform.

Download or read book The Changing Pattern of Employment written by Michael Chisholm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title, first published in 1973, covers the period of 1959 to 1968. The study suggests that government policies had very little effect on the employment structures of the sub-regions at this time, despite government intervention and policy objectives in Great Britain to reduce levels of unemployment in the depressed regions and curb congestion in the Midland and South East England conurbations. Instead, regional employment structures seemed to be determined by what was happening to industries at a national level. This study will be of interest to economists, planners, regional scientists and geographers, as well as students in these fields.
