Erhebung eines Anforderungsprofils mittels der CIT

Die Auswahl geeigneter Bewerber/Innen nimmt aufgrund der demographischen Entwicklung und der damit verbundenen Verknappung der Ressource Personal einen immer höheren Stellenwert ein. Der Einsatz von Anforderungsprofilen soll dabei helfen das Risiko einer fehlerhaften Auswahlentscheidung zu verringern und somit den geeignetsten Bewerber auszuwählen. Ein Trend hin zu den Soft-Skills, wie beispielsweise Teamfähigkeit und Kommunikationsbereitschaft, ist klar zu erkennen. Gegenstand der nachfolgenden Diplomarbeit ist daher die Entwicklung eines Anforderungsprofils, welches sich auf diese Soft-Skills konzentriert. Die Erstel-lung des Anforderungsprofils erfolgt dabei auf Grundlage der von John C. Flanagan entwickelten „Critical Incident Technique“, die im deutschen Sprachgebrauch auch als Methode der kritischen Ereignisse bezeichnet wird. Infolgedessen werden zunächst die theoretischen Grundlagen eines Anforderungsprofils sowie die der „Critical Incident Technique“ detailliert erläutert. Im Anschluss daran erfolgt eine ausführliche Beschreibung der methodischen Vorgehensweise, die den kompletten Ablauf der praktischen Durchführung widerspiegelt. In diesem Zusammenhang werden getroffene Entscheidungen, die zu einer Anpassung der Vorgehensweise führten, näher erläutert und begründet. Die aus den Mitarbeiterbefragungen gewonnenen „Critical Incidents“ werden nachfolgend kategorisiert und zu Anforderungsbereichen zusammengefasst, die abschließend zum Anforderungsprofil verdichtet werden. Ferner wird die Möglichkeit einer praktischen Anwendung der Ergebnisse anhand von drei vom Autor begleiteten Projekten dargestellt.

A contingency model of job satisfaction

The present research study was designed to test a contingency model of job satisfaction based on participation in decision making as the antecedent variable and job involvement as the intervening variable. The instruments used to measure the variables were the participation in decision making scale developed by Siegel and Ruh (1973), the job involvement scale by Lodahl and Kejner (1965) and the job satisfaction construct derived from Hoppock (1935). The findings indicate that statistically significant correlations do exist for the 1995 educators surveyed in this study. Educators who reported high levels of participation in decision making consistently reported high levels of job involvement (p!: 0.001). Also, teachers reporting high levels of job involvement consistently scored high on their levels of job satis faction (p!: 0.001). All major hypotheses were sUPFOrted by the data. Through exploratory hypotheses, the study attempted to develop statements of relationships between criteria of job satisfaction and sex and marital status of employees in the system. The hypotheses received only minimal support, but the results did highlight the impracticability of attempting to develop any such relationships without using definite personality and situational variables as moderators. Differences between male and female socialization, sex discrimination and multiplicity of roles are briefly discussed as possible explanations for the reported findings.

Factores explicativos de las actitudes hacia el castigo juvenil. Evidencias de un diseño factorial

El rol desempeñado por la opinión pública en el desarrollo de la política criminal actual justifica el incremento de investigaciones destinadas a evaluar las actitudes de los ciudadanos hacia el castigo. No obstante, los avances en este ámbito han sido limitados debido a la utilización de rudimentarios instrumentos de medida. Por ello, el presente trabajo tiene como propósito explorar el efecto que generan en la opinión ciudadana ciertas variables referidas al hecho delictivo y al infractor, precisando su contribución relativa y la interacción existente entre ellas. Para satisfacer este objetivo se recurrió a un diseño factorial de la encuesta, creando una población de 256 casos-escenario fruto de la combinación de cuatro factores: la edad del joven, su historial delictivo, el grado de implicación en el hecho y el tipo de delito cometido. Los mismos fueron distribuidos en grupos de ocho casos ordenados aleatoriamente y fueron suministrados a 32 sujetos. Posteriormente se aplicaron análisis de regresión logística binaria. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que la naturaleza violenta de los hechos, la implicación activa de los jóvenes y el historial delictivo son predictores importantes de las condenas punitivas. Sin embargo la edad, una variable fundamental en la configuración de la justicia juvenil, no resulta significativa. De este modo, el trabajo muestra el potencial explicativo de este conjunto de factores y debate sus implicaciones teóricas y metodológicas para la investigación futura en este terreno.

Trade unions and productivity:the impact of union presence on labour productivity in Korean manufacturing

This thesis examines the theoretical and empirical relationship between trade unions and productivity in the Korean auto and cement manufacturing industries, during the 1980s. It challenges the tenets of the existing debate by stressing the contingent nature of this relationship. In particular this thesis pinpoints inadequacies of econometric analysis as the only method of judging this association between union presence and productivity, because this ignores national and historical industrial relations contexts. Moreover, the polarity between positive and negative views of trade union influences on productivity is seen as needlessly limited, failing as it does to consider the full context of labour-management dynamics within the employment relationship. Empirically, this thesis focuses on the unionism and productivity during two contrasting political periods: the first a time of constraint on union action and the second a period of relative freedom. It examines these periods using a full range of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Of particular significant is the inclusion of attitude surveys of the relationship between the presence of unions and productivity conducted amongst workers, managers and trade union officials. The broad conclusion of the thesis is a rejection of the validity of continuing to examine the relationship between trade unions and productivity without locating this within national and historical industrial relations contexts.
