The objectives of this study were to assess the indicators and moderators of occupational stress at a higher education institution in South Africa, as well as differences based on language and years of experience at the institution. A cross-sectional survey design was used. The participants included academic and support staff at a higher education institution (N = 372). An Organisational Stress Screening Tool (ASSET) and a biographical questionnaire were administered. Workload, control, work-relationships and pay and benefits were the major occupational stressors in the institution. Compared to the international norm, participants reported higher levels of physical and psychological ill-health and perceived lack of commitment from the organisation. Analysis of variance revealed differences in occupational stress levels for all the biographical variables tested. Organisational commitment moderated the effect of occupational stress on ill-health. Opsomming Die doelstellings van hierdie studie was om die aanwysers en verligtende faktore van beroepstres in ’n hoëronderwysinstansie in Suid-Afrika te identifiseer, asook moontlike verskille gebaseer op taal en jare ervaring by die instansie te bepaal. ’n Dwarsdeursnee-opnameontwerp is gebruik. Die deelnemers het bestaan uit akademiese en ondersteuningspersoneel verbonde aan ’n hoëronderwysinstansie (N = 372). ’n Organisasiestresgraderingsinstrument (ASSET) en ’n biografiese vraelys is afgeneem. Oorlading, kontrole, werksverhoudinge en salaris en byvoordele was die vernaamste stressore in die instelling. Vergeleke met die internasionale norm, het deelnemers hoër vlakke van fisieke en psigologiese ongesondheid gerapporteer, en ook ’n gebrek aan verbondenheid komende van die werkgewer ervaar. Variansieanalise het verskille in werkstresvlakke uitgewys vir al die biografiese veranderlikes wat getoets is. Organisasieverbondenheid het die effek van beroepstres op ongesondheid gematig.

This article includes an investigation of ethnic-racial relations in the curriculum of all undergraduate courses of a higher education institution located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The state is the second in number of Amerindian inhabitants and of various ethnic groups and is located on the border with other countries constituting a multicultural state. Having regard to undergraduate courses role in preparing the future teacher to address the issues of ethnicity and diversity in schools, we aimedto analyze Law No. 10639/03 by degrees courses of all campus of an higher education institution of ,with a view to a discussion about how ethnic-racial relations are treated in the curriculum of undergraduate degrees with respect to teaching practices for equality. To do this, we approached the topic based on a bibliographic review about the education and ethnic-racial relations according to the Brazilian legislation. Supported by the methodology of qualitative research of exploratory type, we performed a detailed curricular documentary analysis of undergraduate courses. The results showed that in some undergraduate courses the discussion of ethnic-racial diversity is silenced, because this doesn't make part of the curriculum, in other courses we find a wide variety of approaches, different workloads that together also evidence the commitment or not of the courses with the issue analyzed. The analyses reinforce the need of formative processes of being able to combat discourses and narratives loaded with alot of stereotypes and prejudices.

Purpose. The logic chains of primary importance in planning of the relevant expenses, which had been called to influence positively to the social development of the college are processed. The directions of budget savings in the college are determined. Methodology of research. The article uses modern general scientific and special methods of economic research, in particular: a systematic approach – when studying the connections between phenomena and processes of analysis of the financial state of the inclusive institution; statistical analysis – in determining the dynamics, structure of financial resources of the inclusive institution of higher education in the context of general and special funds; dialectical and abstract-logical – when conducting theoretical generalizations and forming conclusions. Results. The author’s own methodological aspects are developed with the help of mathematical modeling in relation to optimization of the structure of the college general fund budget expenditures in conditions of their effective implementation, taking into account the features of socio-cultural, health and rehabilitation society. Therefore, for the effective redistribution of the funds of the general fund of the college, we use a mathematical model, which defines the main factors of the activity of the higher education institution in conditions of socio-cultural and recreational rehabilitation. As outcome indicators, the frequency of "desirable and undesirable" factors that characterize the state of functional classification of cost estimates, as well as their correlation to the amount involved in expenditure estimates, that is, intensity indicators are offered. Thus, the logic chains of the general fund structure are determined, which should positively influence on the state of social development of the inclusive higher education institution. Conclusions. Taking into account the above-mentioned methodology, about 7 thousand UAH of funds of the general fund of the college budget are saved. The same marginal cost savings can be achieved through the support of funding for educational, club activities work and physical education rehabilitation, which should actively generate a program of the development of social activities of college students.
