Role Of Men

Even though the phenomenon of female family support may not be entirely new in Africa, breadwinning is the primary role of men in most African societies. However, as more women get education and enter paid employment, and some men lose jobs, traditional breadwinning roles are challenged and, sometimes, inverted as growing numbers of women become family breadwinners. Female breadwinning may not be without implications for family stability, however, as it confronts instituted normative gender order in patriarchal societies. While female breadwinners are increasingly common in industrialized societies, and literature exists on their trajectories in such contexts, more recent works are needed in Africa, particularly Nigeria. This article, therefore, examines the nexus of female breadwinning and family stability in Nigeria. This article is an important one on a growing phenomenon in Africa resulting from urbanization, industrialization and economic crises in certain regions of the continent. Guided by modernization and patriarchy theories, the study relied on qualitative method of data collection. Twenty in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted in contexts of female breadwinning families. Data were analysed and presented as interpretive narratives. An interesting relationship was found between female breadwinning and family stability in the setting. Generational influences and associated outcomes were also found and presented in this article.

Introduction Successfully maintaining (managing) paid employment can be a challenge as people negotiate the cancer care pathway and survivorship. Little research explores the influence of age on this situation. The purpose of this project was to explore the role of age in managing employment for survivors from age 45 to 64 years. Method A qualitative descriptive design was conducted to explore the intersection of age and managing employment for cancer survivors. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 United States cancer survivors (lung, breast, colorectal). Interviews were conducted in person or by phone. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Codes were grouped by categories, incorporated into separate topical files, and then aggregated into broader emergent themes. Findings Survivors are not just “returning” to work after treatment. They are often managing work both during and after treatment. Age may have benefits but can also provide barriers to positive survivorship and employment experiences. Fulfilling the role of employee and maintaining a worker identity was a strong driver for many participants. Again, this was potentially both a support and a barrier. It was discovered that health care providers provided little support to facilitate employment. Conclusion Age is a factor that is poorly understood but influences both health and personal aspects of the experience of managing paid employment during and after cancer treatment. Occupational therapy practitioners should acknowledge this important role in addressing cancer survivorship.

The article presents the results of the research aimed at identifying the sources of students’ motivation to take up paid employment during the course of study. Motivation process and theoretical approaches towards its consideration – from the points of view of the content, of the process and based on the concept of reinforcement – are described. As for the content motivation is considered either as a function of pay, working time and working conditions, or as a function of autonomy and responsibility. The process approach focuses on the explanation of why people choose certain behavior in order to meet their needs and how they assess their satisfaction after achieving goals. Reinforcement concept explains the role of rewards in causing a change in behavior or maintaining unchanged behavior for some time. There are three areas of students’ activity: educational, professional and personal one. For proper understanding of the concept of “professional activity” an overview of definitions concerning professional activity is done. The main assumptions of the research were that students undertake random jobs guided solely by remuneration. They do not pay attention whether there is any connection with the field of their study. The examination involved 478 students from 15 cities from all over Poland, who study at 43 universities. The research showed that the factors that influenced students’ decisions to take up a job are first of all the following: the need for earning, as well as the desire to gain experience and the need to become a financially independent person. Respondents, who declare compliance of their work with the field of study, additionally indicate the possibility of continuous self development. For the students, who declare work in line with their interest, self-fulfillment is a key focus.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.
