- ItemDie impak van die 1994-1997 personeeloorplasingsproses op plaaslike owerhede : 'n gevallestudie(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-12) Adams, Nazeem; Uys, M. F.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Economic & Management Sciences. School of Public Leadership.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: During 1994 to 1997, local authorities in the Cape Metropolitan area underwent a transformation process aimed at, amongst other things, improving service delivery to all inhabitants. The transformation process dealt with, inter alia, the physical transferring of personnel from the former Cape Metropolitan Council to the former Tygerberg Municipality. This historic study identifies several theoretical aspects of organisational change and the personnel transferring processes that public managers should take cognisance of should they wish to successfully complete similar changes and personnel transferring processes in the future. This study analyses the transferring process as followed by the Cape Metropolitan Council and the Tygerberg Municipality in a systematic manner, and tests the perceptions of the "transferred" personnel and the "receivers" of the "new" personnel by means of the questionnaire method. Following this, normative suggestions are made for future personnel transferring processes at local authorities. An important fmding of this study revealed that respondents were of the opinion that although the physical transferring process were "successfully" executed and completed (measured against the relevant legislation), the transferring process was less successful when measured against the human (especially psychological) factors involved in the transferring process.
