Siyazi ukuthi lomsebenzi ungaba nobunzima futhi ukukhahlameze, nokuthi kunezithelo ezinhle futhi kwezinye izikhathi. Lolucwaningo lubhekiswe ekuthenini luthole ulwazi olunzulu mayelana nokuthi lomsebenzi ukwenza ukuthi uzizwa kanjani, nokuthi yiziphi izinto ezinomthelela ekukwazini nokubhekana nezinqinamba.

Procedure

: Ukuqoqa ulwazi, umcwaningi uzokucela ukuthi uphendule imibuzo efomini. Ifomu ngalinye linenombolo, kodwa awudingi ukuthi ubhale igama lakho kulona. Angeke kubekhona indlela yokuthi umcwaningi noma omunye umuntu angakwazi ukuthi yiliphi eligcwaliswe nguwe. Uma usuwagcwalisile, uyacelwa ukuthi uwafake ebhokisini elivalilwe, imininigwane iyocutshungulwa ngumcwaningi. Wonke amafomu ayogcinwa isikhathi esingangeminyaka emihlanu endaweni ephephile lapho koba umcwaningi kuphela oyokwazi ukufinyelela kuyo.

Sample:

^{Kuzoba nabantu abangu-75 abazoba ingxenye}

yalolucwaningo. Bonke basebenza ngokunakekela abantu abanegciwane lengculazi.

Confidentiality:

Awuzukudalalulwa; njengoba kungenasidingo sokuthi ubhale igama lakho efomini, akekho ozokwazi ukuthi ubani owagcalisile.

Amafomu ane-signature yakho onika kuwo imvume ayogcinwa endaweni ehlukile kunale enamafomu ophendula khona imibuzo endaweni ephephile lapho kuyoba umcwaningi kuphela oyokwazi ukufinyelela kuyo.

Potential risks and benefits:

Khumbula ukuthi uma uzizwa uphatheka kabi noma u-streseka, ungathatha ikhefu noma ungavela ungaqhubeki nokuba ingxenye yocwaningo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umcwaningi angakuthumela ekhanseleni uma ufisa ukukhuluma ngalokhu okukuphatha kabi.

Ungathola ukuthi ungakujabulalela futhi/noma uthole ithuba lokubhekisisa umsebenzi wakho njengonompilo nokuthi ngabe unamthelela muni kuwe.

Ngithemba ukuthi esikutholayo kulolucwaningo kungakwazi ukuthi kukusize nabanye abasebenzi esikhathini esizayo, ngokukhombisa ukuthi yiziphi izinto ezikubeka engcupheni yokuthi zikukhathaze, nokuthi yiziphi ezingakunika umdlandla/isibindi.

Bonke abayingxenye yalolucwaningo banelungelo lokukhetha ukuthi bangaphenduli umbuzo abangathandi ukuwuphendula, noma bayeke ukuba yinxenye lalolucwaningo noma yingasiphi isikhathi.

Incentives:

Ayikho imali ozoyithola ngokuthi ube yinxenye yalolucwaningo. Kodwa ke, kuzoba khona okokusula umlomo/okuya ethunjini uma ugcwalisa amafomu.

Contact details:

Uma uneminye imibuzo noma kukhona ofisa ukukusho mayelana nocwaningo noma mayelana namalungelo akho njengomuntu obambe iqhaza kulolucwaningo ucelwa ukuthi uthintane no- Trish Graaf (umcwaningi) ku- 033 342 9359 nom Profesa J.D.
