On The Job Training

The study is intended to provide novel insights into the adaptation of new members of parliament to a working environment that differs in many ways from more traditional workplaces. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with 16 first-term members of the Icelandic parliament, the Althingi, after two years’ experience following their election in 2013. The findings show that learning to become active members of parliament is primarily an informal and disorganised process driven by the newcomers themselves. Little formal on-the-job training is available. Two years into their term, the interviewees felt they were still learning and adapting to the rules and norms. New MPs’ performance seems to depend on several factors, including how active they are in the learning process and how successfully they manage to build relationships with colleagues and find informal mentors, who in some cases belong to different political parties. The data limits the inclusion of contextual factors potentially influencing the MPs socialisation process.

En dépit de l’attention qu’a reçue le marketing politique et des progrès conceptuels et empiriques qui ont été accomplis, les chercheurs reconnaissent souvent les différences et les difficultés de conceptualisation et d’opérationnalisation de ce construit. L’action politique est un événement contextuel et est le résultat de nombreuses influences. À travers des recherches documentaires et des entretiens semi-directifs avec des observateurs-experts (journalistes et académiciens) en matière de la chose politique, cette contribution a essayé de voir si le marketing politique présentedes caractéristiques similaires dans des contextes politique et socioéconomique différents. Nous soutenons l’idée d’une prise en considération plus explicite des facteurs contextuels dans la dynamique des actions marketing des partis politiques au Maroc. La présente contribution est le résultat d’une étude de contextualisation de notre travail de recherche sur le marketing politique et la performance électorale. Un contexte délimité en l’année législative 2016. Despite the attention that political marketing has received and the conceptual and empirical advances that have been made, researchers still face difficulties in conceptualizing and operationalizing the concept. Political action is a contextual event and is the result of many influences. Through a documentary research and semi-structured interviews with observers and experts (journalists and academics) in politics and marketing, this paper focuses on ascertaining if political marketing presents similar characteristics in different political and socio-economical contexts. The study also focused on a more explicit consideration of contextual factors in the marketing actions dynamics of political parties in Morocco. This contribution is the output of a contextualization study of our research on political marketing and electoral performance.

Qualitative Changes

Like any process, training is movement, change, development. The examination of training as a focused, organized, conscious, guided, managed and cognitive process complements its intrinsic characteristic. It is a multifaceted process: the learner moves from ignorance to knowledge, from incomplete and inaccurate knowledge to more complete and accurate knowledge, in which profound qualitative changes occur in his personali. Since the objectives of the training determine the desired end result leading from the pre-specified requirement to the educational preparation of learners, they serve to formulate the components of professional competence as a complex of knowledge, skills, relationships and personal qualities that each learner needs to acquire and absorb to the end of their studies. On-the-job training as a form of continuing development of medical workers is an important factor in improving the quality of healthcare and the medical care offered. The training continues during the professional realization and facilitates the adaptation and growth of the profession.

On The Job Training

Dr. Edwards Deming, whose 120th birthday falls on October 14, 2020, has made outstanding contributions to management theory and practice, mathematical statistics and many other areas of human endeavor. This work, written for the anniversary of E. Deming, examines the paradoxes arising from his teachings. They relate, inter alia, to competition, motivation and remuneration, the use of sampling methods, on-the-job training, operational definitions and much more. Resolving these paradoxes is the path to a deeper understanding of the modern world and to the improvement of management practice. Already during Deming’s lifetime, numerous attempts were made to revise his teachings, and now there is a desire to abandon the use and development of his heritage. This is alarming and worrying.
