Le recrutement des jeunes docteurs dans le secteur privé
2007
This paper explores the relationship between the characteristics of the doctoral training and the recruitment of young PhDs in the private sector in France. We used information from a national representative survey of 1246 PhDs graduated in 2001 and interviewed in 2004. We focus on the recruitment and PhD returns among research-based jobs and non-research jobs in the private sector. Our econometrics results show that access and wages in the R&D jobs strongly depends on previous labour experience during the PhD (participation in a research contract, private funding for the PhD). In addition, we find that PhD students who expressed a preference for academia pay a wage penalty when they access…
Technological and organizational capital : Where complementarities exist
2018
This study analyzes the complementarities between technological and organizational capital within enterprises. Different components of technological and organizational capital exert distinct—and often opposed—forces on each other. Our empirical results show that greater employee voice promotes firm productivity when combined with information technology, but harms firm productivity when combined with communication technology. On the other hand, flexible work design is positively associated with communication technology and negatively associated with information technology. peerReviewed
Inmigración, servicios públicos e integración social
2007
La configuración de nuestras sociedades como espacios de multiculturalidad ha motivado que la integración de la diversidad se convierta en uno de los mayores retos que afrontamos en la actualidad. La inclusión social de las personas inmigrantes en las sociedades de recepción se ve obstaculizada por las dificultades existentes en lo que refiere al reconocimiento de los derechos sociales. Con este artículo tratamos de hacer una aproximación a las condiciones en las que se produce el acceso de las personas inmigrantes a los recursos públicos, con especial atención a los servicios sanitarios.
Mentoring as Dialogue, Collaboration and/or Assessment?
2012
In this chapter, some tensional trends within mentoring, which we call a contradiction between collaboration and assessment, are addressed. The aim is threefold: First, to describe and compare the development of mentoring programmes in Finland and Sweden at the system level; second, to illustrate how the various mentoring systems have been experienced by the persons involved; and third, to discuss the political and ideological circumstances and the possible effects of these solutions. The study is based on empirical data gathered in Finland and Sweden and examines the experiences of mentors and newly qualified teachers (NQTs) as well as the relevant national policies. The findings indicate …
La situación de los sociólogos españoles en el sector privado: implicaciones para la práctica y el desarrollo profesional
2016
The aim of this paper is to broadly outline itineraries of employment insertion of the sociologists, and have greater knowledge of the professional reality of this group in the private sector, in an attempt to inquire about the “job”. And knowing the professional identity of sociologists in the private sector, and the place they occupy. This issue is considered necessary both to identify needs or gaps to overcome in the future to face and adjust the professional reality as well as to meet the demands of future graduates in their practice and professional development. And all this, from the results obtained by empirical work from a questionnaire to meet the professional situation of Spanish …
Why do Third Sector Employees Intend to Remain or Leave their Workplace?
2016
Third sector employees have claimed to enjoy high job satisfaction and low turnover intentions because their work is considered intrinsically rewarding. Employees have strong motivation for public service and they consider the organization’s goals as their own. This makes work meaningful and thus reduces turnover intentions. Changes in the third sector institutional environment, however, have intensified the working environment. This probably undermines job quality and thus increases turnover intentions. The analysis conducted among Finnish third sector employees showed that third sector employees report more turnover intentions than their counterparts in the public or private sector. This …

ROUGHNESS CONTROL OF PARTS OBTAINED THROUGH INCREMENTAL SHEET FORMING
2007
Abstract The present paper adresses the issue of controlling the quality of surface in the case of a new sheet metal forming process by which various curved shells are formed without the help of expensive dies. The roughness of the surface which comes in direct contact with the punch at incremental sheet forming suffers an obvious worsening compared to the initial blank surface roughness. The present paper discusses the measuring of the roughness of parts obtained through the previously mentioned process and highlights the factors that influence it. There were taken into account the initial roughness of the punch, the punch diameter and the friction coefficient between the punch and the bla…

How important is mentoring in education?
2017
The paper aims to provide the mentoring experience made in Romanian schools, developed as a result of the Erasmus + project entitled “Mentoring Between teachers from secondary and high schools” project No. 2014-1-PL01-KA200-003335. Thus, we seek to present the work and the general considerations in connection with the mentoring theme, how we decided on the curriculum in order to form mentors, how mentors were selected and what was the result of their mentoring work. It is important to observe the main obstacles in the mentoring process were and how these problems could be solved. We will also highlight the impact of the mentoring activity on mentees and their perceptions about the usefulnes…
