“…As questões como competitividade e prestígio profissional e a possibilidade de estudar de forma continuada aparecem como elementos de destaque nos estudos sobre políticas organizacionais e capital humano (LEPAK; SNELL,1999;HOLTOM;MITCHELL;LEE, 2006;KESSLER;LULFESMANN, 2006;JEPSEN;MONTGOMERY, 2012;DA CUNHA et al, 2010).…”

Human Capital Theory (HCT) has helped to explain problems related to education and economic development. This study uses HCT to understand the phenomenon of the availability or shortage of human resources with training in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and others, which are essential for the development companies in a knowledge economy. The main objective of this article is to propose dimensions, categories and elements of analysis, identified in HCT, that favor the analysis of the phenomenon of the availability or shortage of these human resources. To achieve this goal, a literature review was performed on HCT, considering both seminal and contemporary references. This study proposes aspects related to training and qualification, the presence of motivating factors at an organizational level, the potential for professional mobility, and practices of investment in career development, as explanatory factors for understanding the problem of availability/shortage of human Disponível em: www.univali.br/periodicos

“… 3. Studies have indicated little practical difference between logit, probit, and linear regressions when the same dichotomous outcome variables were analyzed (Dey & Astin, 1993; Jepsen & Montgomery, 2012; Shuster, 2012). Since linear regression is easier to interpret (Angrist & Pischke, 2009), it was used to analyze the data for the current study. …”

The purpose of this study was to compare differences in the quality of professional development between U.S. music educators and teachers of other disciplines. Data were drawn from the 2011–2012 Schools and Staffing Survey. Factors such as types of professional development, quantity of activities, and levels of satisfaction were analyzed through a series of multiple regressions to determine the relationships between professional development quality for teachers of music and non-music disciplines. Results indicated that music educators were significantly less likely to collaborate with other educators on issues of instruction and engaged in significantly less technology-related professional activity; however, music educators reported significantly higher levels of satisfaction with content-specific professional activity and engaged in significantly more content-specific activity than some higher-stakes disciplines. In light of educational policies and trends, the common assumption that music educators are generally less supported within their schools does not hold true. Implications of this study include the need for music educators to participate in more collaborative forms of professional development. This study also suggests that all educators should receive more time spent in professional learning congruent to the level of engagement espoused by research literature.

“…Other things being equal, individuals in less favorable occupations should generally have greater incentives to pursue additional education to improve their labor market position. Consistent with this argument, research shows lower wages (Jepsen and Montgomery 2012; Stenberg 2011) and (previous) unemployment (Hällsten 2011; Stenberg 2011) “push” individuals toward adult education. Both upgrading and sidestepping may facilitate exit from disadvantaged labor market positions, but upgrading would seem to offer better prospects for doing so; hence, it should appeal particularly to people in disadvantageous labor market positions.…”

Adult Education, Stratification, and Regime Change: Upgrading and Sidestepping in Russia, 1965–2005

Adult education influences how labor market opportunities are structured in the later life course. We propose a theoretical framework for understanding the stratifying role of adult education resting on the distinction between two forms of adult education-upgrading and sidestepping: Resources, incentives, and selection processes systematically structure rates of participation. Using educational history data from Russia, we test hypotheses derived from our framework and examine the impact of the Soviet collapse and the ensuing economic recovery. Upgrading exacerbates patterns of socioeconomic stratification by delivering better credentials to individuals with higher levels of initial resources. Sidestepping is less common than upgrading and less related to socioeconomic origins and previous attainment. The Soviet collapse produced short-term declines in the rates of both upgrading and sidestepping. However, once growth resumed, market institutions proved durable, and the political regime stabilized, rates of upgrading soared to levels exceeding those of the Soviet era.
