| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study was to describe the effects that the restructuring (function shift process) of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges had on lecturers at the South-West Gauteng TVET College. The study sought to answer the main research question, namely, “What are the effects of the restructuring of TVET colleges on lecturers at the South- West Gauteng TVET College?”. A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with lecturers at the college as well as officials at the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). The data was analysed using thematic analysis. Four themes emerged from data analysis and these are trust in the process, communication of the process, participation and support, and effects/impact of the restructuring. This study showed that restructuring can have adverse effects on academic staff when their interests and well-being are not being recognised by those that are implementing the change process. The study also found that senior managers at the college that were the focus of this study were not actively involved in the implementation of the function shift process. The role of college senior management was blurred, hence their minimal involvement in the functionshift process. Therefore, the study recommended that there is a need to conduct in-depth research into the effects of lecturers’ work interests on the outcome of the change process. The study further recommends future research that should investigate the effects of TVET College senior management during restructuring. Lastly, it is important to research the role that College senior management can play in ensuring that DHET change initiatives are speedily implemented | |
