“…Une équipe de chercheurs en économie et sciences de gestion a également examiné la tendance à la diversification de l'offre de services vétérinaires, tout en soulignant que les transitions vers ce type de modèles sont variables selon les filières et les territoires (Adam et al 2014). Ils soulignent par ailleurs la faiblesse des formations en gestion et management (sur le plan des savoirs techniques comme des compétences relationnelles) dans les écoles vétérinaires (Henry & Treanor, 2012). En retraçant le parcours d'une jeune femme vétérinaire, Henry et al (2016) définissent ainsi les modalités « durables » d'installation d'un cabinet vétérinaire en milieu rural : sa localisation, son personnel, son modèle économique et contractuel, et enfin des biens ou services adaptés à la demande de la clientèle (analyse de laboratoire, audit d'élevage, conseils zootechniques, etc.).…”

Merci de vous référer à la version publiée dans vos discussions de notre article. Être vétérinaire La profession vétérinaire dans les recherches en sciences sociales En ce début de XXIe siècle, la profession vétérinaire semble connaître une transformation profonde, au point que ses représentants s'inquiètent de sa possible disparition, alors qu'elle avait su construire, puis défendre, son monopole et sa juridiction au fil des ans. Les organisations professionnelles s'efforcent d'identifier les causes de cette évolution, d'en mesurer les implications et d'en contrôler les effets. Depuis 2015, en Europe et aux États-Unis, plusieurs d'entre elles ont ouvert un chantier de prospectives visant à faire état des enjeux auxquels les vétérinaires sont confrontés, et à proposer des plans d'action pour assurer la pérennité de leur activité. Il s'agit des programmes « Vetfuturs », d'abord initié par le Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) et la British Veterinary Association (BVA), repris et adapté par leurs homologues français, le Conseil supérieur de l'ordre vétérinaire (CSOV) et le Syndicat national des vétérinaires libéraux (SNVEL), puis par la Fédération des vétérinaires européens (FVE). Aux États-Unis, des réflexions similaires émanent de l'American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) depuis le début des années 2010, portant en particulier sur les besoins démographiques (workforce needs) selon les secteurs ou en cas de crise sanitaire, et sur les évolutions du marché des services vétérinaires. Les différents rapports produits ont beaucoup en commun. Ils s'inquiètent de l'attractivité de la profession et de conditions de travail de plus en plus difficiles, des difficultés d'installation en exercice libéral, des situations de burnout et de stress au travail d'un côté, et de chômage ou de sous-emploi de l'autre, etc. Les changements de la composition sociodémographique du groupe professionnel sont souvent accusés d'être à l'origine de ces difficultés. Ainsi le renouvellement générationnel, qui s'accompagne depuis deux ou trois décennies d'une forte féminisation et d'un recrutement au sein de populations plus urbaines et aux origines socioéconomiques plus élevées, expliquerait la désaffection des vétérinaires pour la pratique rurale au profit de la médecine pour animaux de compagnie. Ce basculement dans la structure des spécialités 1 est souvent considéré comme le signe du déclin du statut social du vétérinaire (historiquement, la « rurale » est la pratique dominante sur laquelle la profession s'est symboliquement appuyée pour construire et défendre son monopole), comme de son 1 Enjeu essentiel de la professionnalisation, la question des spécialités reste mal définie en médecine vétérinaire. Lowe (2009, p. 57) distingue au moins trois manières de la concevoir : "a set of specialisms that take a whole animal approach to an individual or group of species (cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, deer, and fish) ; a series of mainly clinically-based specialisms, based around either a body system (e.g. ophthalmology) or t...

“…Because of this association, some cite fears that feminisation of the profession may contribute to declining veterinary incomes (Lofstedt 2003), an opinion that draws on findings that female veterinary surgeons were satisfied at lower salaries than their male counterparts, and have lower expectations for salary increases (Cron and others 2000, Bristol 2011). Others have voiced concern that a female profession in which females do not aspire to leadership roles may lead to a continued increase in non‐veterinary ownership of practices or a profession in which corporate ownership is the norm (Henry and Treanor 2012). Since practice ownership is associated with higher earnings (Cron and others 2000, Gordon and others 2010), an under‐representation of female veterinary practice owners also exacerbates the gender pay differential in the profession.…”

(2016) 'Career aspiration in UK veterinary students: the influences of gender, self-esteem and year of study ', Veterinary Record, 179(16) , AbstractIt is widely reported that the veterinary profession is becoming increasingly female-dominated, but there are concerns that this is not represented in positions of leadership. Although there are well-documented data describing the under-representation of women in various senior veterinary positions (academic deans, practice owners, positions on professional councils and corporate boards), it is less clear why this occurs. Although likely multifactorial, the relative contributions from a gender divide in intent to pursue leadership positions, women being dissuaded from considering senior roles, or differences in success rate (e.g. in leadership appointments), are unknown. This study was performed to investigate whether there is a gender divide among veterinary students in intent to pursue a leadership role and also to explore other influencing factors in career aspiration in veterinary students. Students from five UK veterinary schools were surveyed using an electronically distributed questionnaire. Career aspiration and leadership ambition were identified as being influenced by gender, with a greater proportion of male students (83 per cent) than female students (73 per cent) indicating they aspired to owning a practice. Career aspiration was also positively influenced by self-esteem, confidence and previously holding a position in the students' union or other club or society; however, all of these were also more apparent in male students than female students. Career aspiration also appeared to be influenced by year of study, with a decline seen at each increasing student year group, and this was unrelated to gender or self-esteem.

“…Günümüzde, küresel boyutta hayvan refahı ve pet hayvanları bakımına ilgi artarken, çiftlik hayvanları hekimliğinde pazarın giderek daraldığı bilinmektedir. Örneğin İngiltere'de yük-sek süt verimine karşın hayvan ve üretici sayısının giderek azaldığı, aile tipi hayvancılık işletmelerinin yerlerini daha büyük ölçekli anonim şirketlere bıraktığı ve bazı çiftliklerin hayvancılığı hobi veya tamamlayıcı bir gelir olarak görmeye başladığı belirtilmektedir [46,47] . Türkiye'de yakın gelecekte organik tarım/hayvancılık, gıda güvenliği ve sürü sağlığı konularının öncelik kazanacağı [29] , klasik hekimlik anlayı-şının yerini alacak olan koruyucu hekimliğin ise işletme yönetimi bilgisini de gerektireceği vurgulanmaktadır.…”

ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye'de veteriner hekimlerinin girişimcilik düzeyinin belirlenmesi ve girişimcilik niyeti (iş kurma) üzerine etkili faktörlerin tahmin edilmesidir. Girişimcilik düzeyi girişimcilik bileşenleriyle belirlenirken, girişimcilik niyetine (GN) etkili faktörler lojistik regresyon modeliyle (LRM) tahmin edilmiştir. Çalışma, Türkiye'nin 7 farklı bölgesinden HaziranAralık 2014 tarihleri arasında tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 455 veteriner hekimle bir anket aracılığıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırma bulgularına göre ortalama girişimcilik skoru (GS) 24.53'dür. Klinisyenlerin kamuda çalışanlardan (P<0.01), babası işveren olanların olmayanlardan (P<0.05), kendi işini kurmak isteyenlerin istemeyenlerden (P<0.01) daha yüksek bir girişimcilik skoruna sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Türkiye'nin farklı coğrafi bölgeleri arasında GS açısından anlamlı bir farklılık yoktur. LRM P<0.001 düzeyinde anlamlıdır ve modele dâhil edilen değişkenler GN'deki varyasyonun %35'ini açıklamaktadır. GN üzerinde yaş (P<0.001) ve GS (P<0.05) pozitif; eğitim düzeyi ise (P<0.05) negatif bir etkiye sahiptir. GS ve yaştaki bir birimlik artış, girişimcilik niyetinde sırasıyla %6.1 (Odds ratio-OR=1.061) ve %5.5 (OR=1.055) oranında artışa neden olmaktadır. Özel sektörde çalışan veteriner hekimlerde GN kamuda çalışanlara göre 6.1 kat (OR=6.104) daha fazladır. Özellikle genç veteriner hekimlerde GN'ni artırmak için meslek örgütleri, üniversiteler ve özel sektör işbirliğiyle eğitim programları ve mesleki etkinlikler düzenlenebilir. Anahtar sözcükler: Girişimci, Lojistik regresyon, Girişimcilik niyeti, Türkiye, Veteriner hekim Factors Influencing Entrepreneurship Level and Intention of Veterinarians in Turkey AbstractThe aims of the study were to determine entrepreneurship level of veterinarians and to estimate factors affecting entrepreneurial intention (to set up business) of them, in Turkey. Entrepreneurship level was determined by entrepreneurial components and the factors influencing entrepreneurial intention (EI) was estimated using the logistic regression model (LRM). The study was conducted in 7 different regions of the Turkey between June 2014 and December 2014 through a questionnaire completed by a total of 455 randomly selected veterinarians. According to the study result, the mean entrepreneurship score (ES) was 24.53. It was found that clinicians have higher ES than public employees (P<0.01), those veterinarians whose fathers had set up their own business have higher ES than those who did not (P<0.05), and those veterinarians who want to set up their own business have higher ES than those who don't want it (P<0.01). There were no significant differences among the different geographical regions of the Turkey in respect to ES. The overall LGM was significant at the P<0.001 level and variables included in the model explained 35% of the variation regarding the EI. Age (P<0.001) and ES (P<0.05) have a positive, whereas education level (P<0.05) has a negative impact on EI. One unit increase in age and ES will lead to 6.1% (Odds rat...
