Download or read book Real Governance and Practical Norms in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Tom De Herdt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although international development discourse considers the state as a crucial development actor, there remains a significant discrepancy between the official norms of the state and public services and the actual practices of political elites and civil servants. This text interrogates the variety of ways in which state policies and legal norms have been translated into the set of practical norms which make up real governance in sub-Saharan Africa. It argues that the concept of practical norms is an appropriate tool for an ethnographic investigation of public bureaucracies, interactions between civil servants and users, and the daily functioning of the state in Africa. It demonstrates that practical norms are usually different from official norms, complementing, bypassing and even contradicting them. In addition, it explores the positive and negative effects of different aspects of this ‘real governance’. This text will be of key interest to academics, students and researchers in the fields of development, political science, anthropology and development studies, African studies, international comparative studies, implementation studies, and public policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of role transition refers to a wide range of experiences found in life: job change, unemployment, divorce, entering or leaving prison, retirement, immi gration, "Gastarbeiten," becoming a parent, and so on. Such transitions often produce strain and hence a variety of problems for the transiting individual, occu pants of complementary social positions, and other members of one's social group and community. In spite of the diversity of role transitions that occur, however, it is important also to realize that many basic psychological processes can be discerned in ostensibly different instances. Research on role transitions has been dispersed across many different subdisci of the social sciences; the problem can be investigated from several points of plines view and levels of analysis. As modern societies become ever more complex, role transitions can be expected to increase in number and diversity, with a concomitant increase in detrimental consequences for the individual and society. Hence, for rea sons of both theory and practice, improved conceptual models and new empirical data are needed. The chapters in this book are the outcome of a N.A.T.O. symposium convened for the purpose of discussing aspects of role transitions from international and inter disciplinary perspectives. The meeting was designed to be a working conference to facilitate as much intellectual exchange and debate among participants as possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to help APN students and new APNs understand the process of role transition through the exploration of the Concept Analyses for APN Role Transition and Professional Identity. APN role transition from a generalist nurse to a graduate prepared Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) can be a challenging and emotional as the APN student progresses through graduate education, clinical experiences and during the first year of APN clinical practice. Precise steps that individuals can take to gain an in-depth understanding of the development of APN professional Identity through the personal process of role transition are provided. Role transition is complex, this book provides knowledge and skills on four levels of role transition based on the facilitators and barriers of macro, meso, micro, and personal levels. A critical aspect of role transition is gaining a personal insight of one’s identity as person and as professional nurse. Professional identity changes significantly through the graduate education process and first year of clinical practice. This book emphasizes personal introspection and forethought to augment successful APN role transition and personal growth through a series of questions to guide personal thoughts while setting plans for the future as an APN. This unique book allows readers to gain the skills to help them progress through role transition to APN practice through the development of their professional identity by providing activities with journal space within the book. In addition, precise steps for developing a personal role transition plan include a framework to identify personal values, visions, mission, and goal statements. As the reader completes the activities provided throughout the book, they will have a valuable personal resource as they understand their role transition from generalist nurse to the APN role. An enhanced understanding of this role transition will result in a higher of degree of success in defining their personal and professional identity. This volume is intended for students in APN programs, new graduates, nurses changing roles where there is role transition confusion, and APNs seeking to understand their professional identity and /or gain insights into the multiple facets of the APN role.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is very exciting to see all of these studies compiled in one book. It can be read sequentially or just for certain transitions. It also can be used as a template for compilation of other concepts central to nursing and can serve as a resource for further studies in transitions. It is an excellent addition to the nursing literature." Score: 95, 4 Stars. --Doody's "Understanding and recognizing transitions are at the heart of health care reform and this current edition, with its numerous clinical examples and descriptions of nursing interventions, provides important lessons that can and should be incorporated into health policy. It is a brilliant book and an important contribution to nursing theory." Kathleen Dracup, RN, DNSc Dean and Professor, School of Nursing University of California San Francisco Afaf Meleis, the dean of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, presents for the first time in a single volume her original "transitions theory" that integrates middle-range theory to assist nurses in facilitating positive transitions for patients, families, and communities. Nurses are consistently relied on to coach and support patients going through major life transitions, such as illness, recovery, pregnancy, old age, and many more. A collection of over 50 articles published from 1975 through 2007 and five newly commissioned articles, Transitions Theory covers developmental, situational, health and illness, organizational, and therapeutic transitions. Each section includes an introduction written by Dr. Meleis in which she offers her historical and practical perspective on transitions. Many of the articles consider the transitional experiences of ethnically diverse patients, women, the elderly, and other minority populations. Key Topics Discussed: Situational transitions, including discharge and relocation transitions (hospital to home, stroke recovery) and immigration transitions (psychological adaptation and impact of migration on family health) Educational transitions, including professional transitions (from RN to BSN and student to professional) Health and illness transitions, including self-care post heart failure, living with chronic illness, living with early dementia, and accepting palliative care Organization transitions, including role transitions from acute care to collaborative practice, and hospital to community practice Nursing therapeutics models of transition, including role supplementation models and debriefing models

Download or read book The Perception of the Educational Experience and Role Transition Process of the Second-career Psychologist written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the current literature reveals that understanding adult female identity development in relation to one's career identity is lacking within and between disciplines that study career and adult identity formulation. In addition, scant literature exists which addresses adult female development in terms of a woman's perceived career identity and its effect on her personal and professional functioning. The concepts of midlife career change, female identity development, and career development in general have been addressed frequently in the literature; however, the concept of career identity and female self-development remain largely nonintegrated within the literature. While career identity has been strongly linked to male identity development, its importance to female identity formation remains quite limited. This dissertation is a study of a unique group of midlife females who electively ended former careers and began careers in professional psychology. All entered the psychology training process at the midlife age range of 35 to 45 and attended the same doctoral program. The study employed a qualitative design, specifically multiple case studies. Semi-structured retrospective interviews were conducted with five participants. The study investigated how the participants perceived the role/identity transition within the context of their training/educational experience as they developed from psychology trainees into clinical psychologists. The study focuses on the perceived nature of the role change process and how prior career identities influence the transition to new career identities. Perceived internal (emotional) and external (contextual) factors of the training experiences were found to be linked to several aspects of identity transition. Results of the study suggest that the second-career psychologist endorsed multiple identities, both career and non-career related, that were highly influential in their ability to cope with and adapt to the demands of the psychology training/educational process. The woman participants in this study used multiple career identities/roles to define both hidden and known aspects of their personalities that were crucial to their emotional wellbeing and everyday functioning. Disruption in their ability to enact their acknowledged identities/roles, whether because of internal or external constraints, negatively affected their capacity to learn and function during the training process and afterwards. Being able to freely enact their endorsed identities/roles played an integral part in the women's capability to adjust during a prolonged and difficult training process which was often highly disruptive to their emotional and psychological lives.

Download or read book Role Transitions in Organizational Life written by Blake Ashforth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2000-10-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity-based approaches to understanding thoughts, feelings, and actions in organizations have produced, particularly in recent years, an array of rich insights that have broadened the domain of organizational behavior. This book brings these insights together in one complete source and uses them collectively to stretch further the boundaries of the discipline. Blake Ashforth accomplishes this goal by creating new ways of viewing the many forms of role transitions evident in organizational life. He looks at role transitions people make during the workday (i.e., from spouse/parent to employee) and studies the identity and status issues faced. This unique authored book also creatively accomplishes two scholarly objectives. First, it provides a needed review, critique, and integration of what is known about being socially defined in an organizational context; and second, it provides fresh and intriguing perspectives on the dynamics of role engagement and disengagement both within and between organizations. This book will appeal to psychologists, managers, and lifespan development researchers interested in the transitions people make as they go through life.

Book excerpt: The need to better comprehend the effects of downward work transitions requires a fuller understanding of the dynamics of self-in-work role, and specifically those factors that influence individuals connections to their job and organisation. Drawing from theories of work transition and identity, this research develops and tests a model of the effects of downward work transition attributes and identity characteristics on, identification, career success and role performance. This program of research is comprised of two field studies. I investigated Aged Care nurses in Australia because this sector has undergone considerable reform over the past couple of years. Nurses have experienced changes in their job roles as well as changes to their status. Thus, their experiences provide a naturally occurring context to investigate how a downward transition exacts its toll. In Study 1, I tested a set of predictions among a sample of 25 aged care nurses. Nurses were interviewed face to face on two occasions over a six-month period. The results revealed support for the hypotheses that intra-role job changes leads to lowered levels of role commitment, identity salience, job and organisational identification. Those nurses that perceived the intra-role job change as a threat sought to maintain their job identification, while nurses who were not threatened reported lower levels of identification. In Study 2, nurses reported a downward status change as well as changes to their job role. The results of this study provide support for the central hypothesis of this thesis. Downward transitions, assessed in terms of magnitude and status stripping, have detrimental effects on individuals and their organisations. Specifically, the findings indicate that downward transitions erode important organisational relationships, lead to decrements in efficacy perceptions and result in a reduction of the importance individuals attach to their work identity. A threat to job identity is negatively related to career success, job identification and resident care, but not organisational identification. There is evidence that identity threat acts as a mediator between downward transitions and job identification and career success. Taken together, the research has important implications for how organisations respond to regulatory and environmental changes.

This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is the world of professions and professional work changing? This book offers both an overview of current debates surrounding the nature of professional work, and the implications for change brought about by the managerialist agenda. The relationships professionals have with their organizations are variable, indeterminate and uncertain, and there is still debate over the ways in which these should be characterized and theorized. The contributors discuss these implications with topics including hybrid organizations and hybrid professionalism; the changing nature of professional and managerial work; profession and identity; and the emergence of HRM as a new managerial profession. This book will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students seeking a comparative study on contemporary professional work. It will also be of use to a number of practitioners, namely human resource managers, looking for ways in which to approach the changing professional world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents ideas, evidence and guidance for those interested in using the most recent advances in knowledge about learning and human development to enhance medical education's ability to form competent, caring and publicly responsible physicians. It does this by establishing the development of a professional identity in medical students and residents as a primary goal of medical education. This new approach is emerging from experience and experiment by medical educators articulating a new way of understanding their mission. It is an optimistic book - the voices are those of the leaders, theorists and experienced practitioners who have found in this new approach a promising way to confront the challenges of a new era in medicine. It summarizes the theoretical basis of identity formation, outlines our current knowledge of how best to assist learners as they acquire a professional identity, and addresses the issue of assessment of progress towards this goal.

Download or read book Conceptualising and Measuring Work Identity written by Paul G.W. Jansen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic overview on issues and challenges related to work identity and identification at work in the ‘new’ South African workplace. It shares results and measures of a work identity research project that was conducted in a variety of modern South African workplaces. It looks at the concept of work identity in the light of a keen and growing interest in why people are becoming attached to, involved in, engaged with, or committed to their work. Still a relatively unexplored concept, built on the foundations of different identity theory streams, the concept of work identity provides a fundamental reconsideration of explaining engaging behaviours at work. Against the backdrop of a changing political and economic landscape and the impact these radical changes had on the South African workplace, the main research question of the project was the South African employees’ question ‘Who am I at work?’. In search of the answer to that question, the book explores the impact of South African employees’ life spheres and life roles on their choice of work-related identification foci. It further explores how identity work tactics and strategies are being used to develop and define their own work identities, resulting in the conceptualisation and development of a work-based identity measure.
