Abstract

This quantitative cross-sectional comparative exploratory study was aimed at exploring participants’ perspectives on employees thriving at the Polokwane Local Municipality (PLM). It compared the overall male and female professional staff’s perceptions of employees thriving. The sample size comprised 149 male and 133 female professionals. The measuring instrument was reliable at 0.8063 Cronbach’s alpha. The study reported that male and female participants had similar perceptions of employee thriving. It also reported that growth and development were significantly associated, while liveliness and devitalisation were insignificantly associated. Also, it revealed that liveliness and growth are significantly related to development, and devitalisation is inversely related to growth. The study recommended that the organisational climate be designed to empower the employees and enhance their thriving attitude towards work. Also, stakeholders and motivational speakers on employees’ thriving strategic efforts are buffed to adjust for factors that are important when intervening in the career counseling and career choices of municipal employees. Future studies may need to pay attention to different municipalities in the province and beyond.

男性和女性专业人员对波罗克瓦尼地方自治市员工成长的看法

本定量横断面比较探索性研究旨在探讨参与者对Polokwane地方市政当局(PLM)员工发展的看法。它比较了男性和女性专业员工对员工发展的总体看法。样本量包括149名男性和133名女性专业人士。测量仪器在0.8063 Cronbach 's alpha时是可靠的。该研究报告称，男性和女性参与者对员工发展的看法相似。它还报告说，增长和发展显著相关，而活力和活力不显著相关。此外，它还揭示了活力和增长与发展显著相关，而活力与增长呈负相关。该研究建议，组织氛围的设计应赋予员工权力，并提高他们对工作的积极态度。此外，利益相关者和激励演讲者对员工蓬勃发展的战略努力进行了调整，以调整在干预市政雇员的职业咨询和职业选择时重要的因素。未来的研究可能需要关注省内外不同的城市。
