Type: Report
Identifier: uj:5368 , http://hdl.handle.net/10210/8275
Description: Our report seeks to give a sense of the growing importance and stature of teaching and learning at UJ, alongside our two other core activities of research and community outreach. The creative initiatives in support of student learning which are presented in the Report reflect a year of note at UJ. This was the year in which we began rolling out the UJ Teaching and Learning Strategy. It was also the year when we welcomed the first cohort of students onto our campuses with the National Senior Certificate and began to pilot the National Benchmark Tests. We paid close attention to our taught programmes and to the professional capacity of our teaching staff. Our exemplary Strong Programmes contributed to our enhanced stature and visibility and we made available additional professional development opportunities to staff, as well as support for advanced studies through our Staff Qualifications Project. 2009 was also a year of lively debates in the policy domain. For instance, around the Higher Education Qualifications Framework, around diversity and differentiation in the sector, and around the proposed ‘four-year curriculum’.

The South African Board for People Practices (SABPP) Women’s Report 2013

- Bosch, Anita

Authors: Bosch, Anita
Date: 2013
Subjects: Employment Equity Act (South Africa) , Gender and workplace , South African Board for People Practices (SABPP) , Women in politics - South Africa , Women politicians - South Africa

Description: It is my pleasure to bring you the SABPP Women’s Report for the third time. The 2013 edition of the report contains chapters aimed at encouraging concerted action and creating political awareness. The focal chapter of the 2013 Women’s Report presents the theme of politics, providing a poignant analysis of South African female politicians and their impact, or lack thereof, on advancing the gender cause. Lindiwe Makhunga provides insight into the history and background of women in South African politics, and critically evaluates the low levels of influence and effect demonstrated by presentday female politicians. Continuing with the theme of leadership and organisational politics, two chapters provide actionable information, contributed by experienced coaches of female leaders. Leanne Meyer, who is based in the USA, reveals female leadership insights gained in the United States. Leanne reflects on issues such as the power of 360° feedback and how authenticity and leadership development lead to identity development, and shares invaluable coaching themes for the benefit of female leaders. As female leaders in the USA and South Africa seemingly have many issues in common in understanding their corporate careers and in their levels of political astuteness, the chapter dovetails with Renate Volpe’s experience of fostering political intelligence amongst South African women. She presents a number of viewpoints on how women can go about increasing their awareness of organisational politics and learn to play the political game with greater effect. Jenni Gobind looks at how the well-intended Employment Equity Act has, in effect, failed South African women, especially those in senior and executive roles. She also explains the forthcoming proposed amendments to the Act, crystallising the difference between employment equity and affirmative action. The topic of workplace bullying, together with the fact that women are often the preferred targets, is expanded on by Leigh Leo and Robyn Reid, in hopes of stimulating thought around this destructive phenomenon. The report would not be complete without an update of the statistics of women and men in the South African workplace. Madelyn Geldenhuys provides us with these figures, drawn from various sources and databases. This chapter provides benchmark figures for HR practitioners to bear in mind when styling their gender mainstreaming plans. The intention of the 2013 Women’s Report is to bring topics of a political and leadership nature to the attention of HR practitioners. As always, the report combines evidence-based practice with solid practical experience and suggestions, enabling HR practitioners to deal

Description: M.B.A. , The aim of this research study was to determine the organisational culture present at SASOL Technology. In order to achieve this aim, this research study had quadruple objectives, one of which was the core of this study. The core focus of the research was the determination of the organisational culture at SASOL technology using a theoretical model or_framework. The need for using such a model or framework became apparent after the literature survey highlighted the dynamic nature of organisational culture and that a structured and systematic way of thinking is required in order to grasp this phenomena of organisational culture. Organisation culture is seen as a constraint to change in any organisation. In order to implement change successfully, it is imperative that the type of culture that exists in the organisation is known and dealt with accordingly. The Competing Values Framework, together with the Organisational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI), was used to diagnose the culture at SASTECH. It was found that the organisation is dominated by a market culture. °A market culture is a results-oriented workplace whose major Concern is with getting the job done. °People are competitive and goal-orientated. Leaders are tough and demanding. Sasol Technology however, wants the organisation to adopt the adhocracy culture type because this culture suits the future state of the organisation. The adhocracy culture is characterised by a dynamic, entrepreneurial and creative workplace. People stick their necks out and take risks. Effective leadership is visionary, innovative and risk-oriented. Providing recommendations for SASOL Technology to transit from the market culture to the adhocracy culture type concluded this study
