Reaching Out: Enhancing the Accessibility of the Queensland Working Women's Service (QWWS) for Migrant Women
No full textThis project was initiated with the aim of enhancing the existing services that the Queensland Working Women's Service (QWWS) provides for Migrant working women in Queensland. QWWS is a community-based organisation which provides information and support for all Queensland working women. Since its formation in 1994, QWWS has provided job placements and training for Migrant women, and Migrant women and Migrant organisations have been, and currently are represented on the QWWS management committee. While QWWS strives to provide work placement and work experience for Migrant women, the organisation's statistics showed that Migrant women were under-represented in its client population. The project was funded by Griffith University under the Community Partnership Scheme and the research was conducted in 2009 by Dr. Kaye Broadbent, Associate Professor Janis Bailey, Professor Glenda Strachan and Ms. Susan Ressia from the Department of Employment Relations, Griffith Business School, Griffith University, Queensland. Reaching Out: Enhancing the Accessibility of the Queensland Working Women's Service (QWWS) for Migrant Women provides an overview of Migrant working women in Queensland, discusses the issues raised by Migrant women themselves who participated in the focus groups conducted for this research, and provides recommendations for QWWS to consider.Griffith Business School, Dept of Employment Relations and Human ResourcesFull Tex

Rebranding and repositioning the Broadbent Theatre Exhibition
No full textThe Broadbent Theatre situated in the village of Wickenby in rurl Lincolnshire, United Kingdom is home to Lindsey Rural Players who originated from the Holton Players, founded by a small community of conscientious objectors at Holton-cum-Beckering, Lincolnshire. They saw themselves as a ‘redemptive minority, committed to a higher order of morality (as opposed to war) but also, to pointing the way, towards a 'new order' through a communal, agricultural way of life. Despite little or no electricity and few wirelesses (Radios) during the war, evening entertainment involved musical evenings, singing, poetry and play reading; everyone was welcomed, whether they were from Holton or not. After the war the Holton Players converted an abandoned Nissen hut into a theatre (The Country Theatre) which sadly, met a fiery end. The Players continued to meet in the magnificent drawing room of Holton Hall staging their productions in the bay window and making their entrances and exits through the sliding sashes. Building on this rich history, this exhibition reflects some of the rebranding and Heritage Mining (commodification of heritage) solutions produced through an iterative, consultative (Action Research) approach, ignited through an intention to rebrand and reinvigorate theatre prior to the onset of the Covid19 Pandemic in 2020.</p
An Investigation of the Interaction of Chronically Ill Women and Their Working Environments
No full textThis thesis explores the working experiences of women with chronic illness. This is an area which is under-researched and is of increasing importance due to the increasing number of workers who have chronic illness. Social attitudes have not kept pace with the rapid increase in the number of people of working age who have chronic illness. The problems of managing the attitudes of others regarding chronic illness, the work itself, and the difficulties associated with a particular diagnosis, are unique in the impact that they have on the working lives of these women. In order to explore the different aspects of the working lives of women with chronic illness, several key areas are researched in this thesis. These include the behaviours exhibited, the influences of the external requirements and social dimensions of work, and the outcomes of the participants. This study utilises both qualitative and quantitative methods to examine the workforce experience of women with chronic illness. The quantitative analysis is used to investigate the individual labour force outcomes, based on data from the Household and Income Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. The quantitative data examines variables such as satisfaction with employment opportunities, permanent or casual employment status, preference for increased hours of work, level of occupation, earnings, satisfaction with the work itself, overall job satisfaction, pay satisfaction, hours of work, and satisfaction with job security.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith Business SchoolGriffith Business SchoolFull Tex
