The Ideal

Previous research has shown that the upper class has a high degree of self-recruitment. Simultaneously, research on job recruitment suggests that there has been an increase in the importance of ‘soft skills’. This article investigates the connection between these two phenomena by looking at elite employers’ constructions of ‘the ideal employee’ and how this may contribute to class reproduction. By analysing 150 advertisement texts linked to positions in the upper class and fractions within it (the cultural, professional and economic upper classes), it explores which qualifications and characteristics are required. The analysis indicates that ‘soft skills’ play a substantial role in recruitment in all upper-class fractions, suggesting that ‘hard skills’ do not suffice to achieve an upper-class position. Indeed, the fact that many of the personal characteristics are linked to modes of being typical of an upper-class habitus makes it harder for people from lower in the class structure to match the description of the ‘ideal candidate’. Furthermore, this article finds the following three distinct employee types: the authoritative leader is idealized in the economic fraction, the dedicated worker in the professional fraction and the coaching leader in the cultural fraction. This article also points to examples of gender stereotyping that may function as contributing factors in reproducing occupational segregation.

  Abstract This thesis explores the idea that the students are able to understand even though they are not educated or accomplished. Some scholars assume, however, that the educational path must go through classrooms. At least this result will give anyone the potential to enhance strong listening skills. The book Diwan Al-Mubtada Wa Al-Khabar Fi Tarikh Al-'Arab Wa Al-Barbar Wa Man 'Asarahum Min Dzawi Al-Sha'ni Al-Akbar by' Abdurrahman Ibn Khaldun with hermeneutic methodology is study using library study with the key source. The outcomes of this research are the principle of fatqu al-lisan by giving preference to basic education abilities by learning soft skills and hard skills of special interest. Ultimately, this power would add to self-confidence in doing business individually and minimize unemployment. Keywords: education, interest, talent, alleviation, unemployment

The present study traces the dynamics of personal characteristics in youth and the manifested neurotic symptoms in the training process. These facts are the reason for the low levels of school results in the context of the existing theoretical statements of the problem and the empirical research conducted among the trained teenagers. We suggest that the indicators of neurotic symptomatology in youth – aggression, anxiety, and neuroticism, are the most demonstrated, compared to the other studied indicators of neurotic symptomatology. Studies have proved that there is a difference in the act of neurotic symptoms when tested in different situations, both in terms of expression and content. At the beginning of the school year, neurotic symptoms, more demonstrated in some aspects of aggressiveness, while at the end of school year, psychotism is more demonstrated. The presented summarized results indicate that at the beginning of the school year, neurotic symptoms are strongly associated with aggression. There is a tendency towards a lower level of social responsiveness, both in the self-assessment of real behavior and in the ideal “I”-image of students in the last year of their studies. The neurotic symptomatology, more demonstrated due to specific conditions in the life of young people and in relation to the characteristics of age.

Journalism job advertisements send important signals about valued skills and attributes. How such advertisements articulate journalistic expertise, including interactional expertise, has been studied, but signals about verbal communication usually have been overlooked. Little is known about how journalism employers define the most valued communication skills and the ideal journalistic voice. This signaling theory study explores expectations advertisements convey for how journalists should sound through a thematic analysis of U.S. journalism job listings (n = 510) specifying substantial verbal communication. Requirements for exceptional verbal skills and explicit calls for vocal clarity raise barriers to entry for journalists with speech disabilities or speech anxiety.

This article aims to present a profile of functional controllers created in German-speaking countries in the context of their competences and tasks for sustainable management and value chain creation. Sustainable chain management requires finding a balance between the economic, social, and environmental spheres, inside and outside the organizations, in all business functions/processes related to value chain formation. Managers for sustainable management need to have adequate and high-quality financial and non-financial information. They are crucial during the pandemic COVID-19 period. Functional controllers can provide this. Content analysis of job advertisements was used as a research method. The identification of competences was based on Cheetham and Chivers’ model. Tasks were referred to as essential functions of controlling. Descriptive statistics and the Student’s t-test with Cochran–Cox correction and the Wilcoxon-Mann–Whitney test were used to analyze the data. In terms of the studied controllers, more functional than meta competence was identified. There were more hard skills than soft skills. In terms of tasks, studied controllers are preoccupied with analysis, coordination and optimization, participation in management, definition of new tools, and reporting. The results confirm that functional controllers have an impact on sustainable development and value chain creation.

У статті наведено приклад рейтингової системи оцінки успішності освітньої діяльності закладу вищої освіти. Автори наголошують, що така система буде мотивувати збагачення творчого потенціалу та повністю забезпечувати формування траєкторії розвитку особистості. Спираючись на сучасні наукові праці, автори дослідили поняття «творчість» та відзначили важливість творчого складника для формування hard-skills та soft-skills. У статті зазначається, що для здобувачів освіти більшості спеціальностей розвиток творчого складника залишається на другому плані. Автори переконані, що набуття професійних знань, умінь та навичок має відбуватися у тісному взаємозв’язку з розвитком творчого потенціалу. Складність використання повною мірою творчого складника в освітньому процесі пов’язана в тому числі і з тим, що специфічність поняття «творчість» ускладнює процес його оцінювання. Оцінювання є важливою складовою частиною організації навчального процесу. Автори підкреслюють основні протиріччя, що виникають під час оцінки творчого складника. У літературі питання пошуку шляхів розвитку творчості переважно полягає у застосуванні різних форм і методів організації занять. У роботі запропонована система оцінювання успішності результатів освітньої діяльності, в основі якої лежить принцип «кафетерію». Основна ідея полягає у наявності двох складових частин оцінювання: обов’язкової (спрямованої значною мірою на перевірку знань та вмінь) та варіативної (яка забезпечує прояв творчості та формування траєкторії особистого розвитку). Автори наводять приклад обов’язкової та змінної складових частин системи оцінювання для окремих дисциплін. Але у статті підкреслено, що така структура не може бути однаковою для всіх дисциплін. Проведений педагогічний експеримент дав змогу довести ефективність та доцільність застосування такої системи. Ефективність запропонованої системи підтверджується високими освітніми результатами (якістю освіти). Результати перевірки та оцінки мотивації досягнень здобувачів освіти методом А. Мехрабіана також підтвердили ефективність запропонованої системи оцінювання.
