Modes de résolution de problèmes des jeunes familles immigrantes : résultats de recherche

Cet article présente les résultats d'une recherche de type exploratoire-descriptive, conduite auprès de 297 jeunes familles immigrantes et de 40 intervenants, sur les problèmes sociaux et culturels que les familles rencontrent et sur leurs modes de résolution de ces problèmes. Dans le secteur social, les difficultés prioritaires des familles sont principalement liées à la problématique du travail. Dans le secteur culturel, l'isolement et l'ennui sont au premier rang des problèmes prioritaires, suivis des problèmes de garde des enfants et des modalités d'éducation en pays d'accueil. Les intervenants jugent plutôt prioritaires des problèmes de dynamique de couple. Alors qu'à la fois familles et intervenants expriment des souhaits de consultation du réseau formel de services pour les problèmes sociaux, les familles préfèrent le réseau informel pour les problèmes culturels. Les difficultés d'accessibilité et de compatibilité des services sont perçues comme plus considérables par les intervenants que par les familles.This article is based on the results of an exploratory-descriptive research conducted with 297 young immigrant families and 40 workers on the primary social and cultural problems encountered by the families and on their modes of resolution of these problems. In the social sector, primary difficulties are centered around work while in the cultural sector, problems related to isolation corne first, followed by problems of care and education of the children in the host society. In this sector, workers underline problems related to social roles within the immigrant couple. While families and workers alike would like to have help from the formal sector of services for the social problems, families would rather seek help from the informal sector for the cultural problems. Difficulties related to accessibility and compatibility of services are seen as more numerous by workers than by families

EXPLORING THE INFLUENCE OF EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT DIVERSITY ON IT GOVERNANCE

As all organizations are attaching more strategic importance to information technology (IT), IT governance has gained researchers’ interest. In fact, a large body of literature focuses on firm-specific or executive management attributes such as leadership as determinants of IT governance. However, it is still relevant to identify other factors influencing IT governance. Since executive management demographics and demographic diversity have an impact on strategic decisions, we explore the influence of executive management diversity on IT governance. Results suggest that IT governance for a high educational-high tenure diversity profile differs significantly from that for a low industry-moderate tenure diversity profile and a high industry-low tenure diversity profile. Furthermore, IT governance structures differ according to executive management diversity profile more than IT governance processes and relational mechanisms
