An examination of learning resulting from a transition from a directed to a self-directed work environment

~ This study focuses on the process of self-directed learning that individuals go through as they adapt to new work situations. This is a study of how one critical incident, specifically the transition from a traditional office structure to a home office structure, affected employees and what their learning process was as they adapted to the new environment. This study has 3 educational foundations: adult learning, self-directed learning, and the social context from which the learning will occur. Six women and 2 men were interviewed approximately 1 year following the transition. Analysis of the data revealed 5 themes of: impacts of the self-directed environment on participants' personal lives, their roles, skill set, productivity, and the physical environment; support offered by the organization, family, and office administration; personal development, specific learning needs, and personal skills; boundaries as they relate to family and work; and skill set and orientation requirements of new home office employees. The findings revealed the learning processes of the 8 participants. The learning processes of these participants were discussed within a theoretical framework of the learners, their immediate surroundings, and the larger social environment. The results indicated that the transition from a directed work environment to a self directed work environment is a complex, interrelated process. An element found throughout the theoretical framework is that of control. A second critical element is the need for participants to have a clearly defined work role and an opportunity to engage in discussion with peers and the community. Further findings reinforced the importance of climate and found that the physical environment is a key factor in a successful selfdirected work environment. The findings of this study revealed that no one factor makes an individual function successfully in a self-directed work environment, but that it is a complex interplay among the leamer, their immediate surroundings, and the social environment that will have the greatest impact on success. Recommendations are made which can be used to guide organizational leaders in facilitating employees' transition from a directed to a self-directed work environment. Additionally, recommendations are made for further research in the area of self-directed work environments.

Tentative d’une éthique minimale du sujet chez le dernier Foucault - Déprise de la problématique de l’assujettissement et pratiques de subjectivation comme socle d’une éthique contemporaine

Le but du présent mémoire est de démontrer que la discontinuité opérée en fin de carrière dans la philosophie de Michel Foucault repose sur l’avènement d’une impasse du sujet assujetti, qui mènera l’auteur à la proposition d’une libération éthique basée sur les pratiques de subjectivation et l’esthétique de l’existence. Cette proposition permet à Foucault d’établir la base d’une éthique minimale du sujet, à partir du principe de subjectivation, dans une perspective de liberté. Après avoir ancré et expliqué l’impasse subjective dans l’œuvre de Michel Foucault, il sera montré comment celui-ci parvient à réhabiliter le sujet dans sa pensée et à constituer une éthique minimale autour de pratiques et d’exercices de liberté. Le mémoire se conclura sur les enjeux, la réception et les critiques du projet foucaldien. Mots-clés : Michel Foucault, Éthique, Esthétique de l’existence, Sujet, Souci de soi, Culture de soi, Subjectivation, Assujettissement, Liberté, Gouvernement de soi.

Marcas corporales autoinfligidas y desarrollo psíquico

El presente artículo está orientado a analizar los fenómenos de marcación corporal autoinfligida desde el psicoanálisis anglosajón y bajo la luz de la teoría sobre la relación de objeto y la línea de desarrollo psíquico derivada del psicoanálisis infantil. Dentro de la revisión de la literatura se hacen paralelos entre la teoría del desarrollo del self, los estudios derivados del psicoanálisis culturalista y las investigaciones hechas en el campo de la psicosomática, con el fin de estudiar desde diferentes perspectivas el fenómeno de las marcas corporales autoinfligidas.
