  • Battle Against the Thawb Syndrome: Labor Nationalization, Industrial
    II. Analysis Battle against the Thawb Syndrome: Labor Nationalization, Industrial Diversification, and Education Reform in Saudi Arabia by Makio Yamada he attitude of Saudi nationals towards private sector jobs was once termed the Mudir Syndrome. Coined by Daryl Champion in his paper “The Kingdom in Saudi Arabia: Elements of Instability in Stability” (1999), the term referred to Saudi nationals’ propensity to want only managerial positions in pri- vate firms—the Arabic wordmudir means a “manager.” Saudi nationals considered that only managerial positions offered the authority, status, and respect equivalent to what they could gain from public sector employment. Now 16 years have passed since Champion’s paper, and the Mudir Syndrome has become an outdated con- cept. As a result of Saudi authorities’ continuous efforts to “Saudize” private sector jobs, especially through the Nitaqat policy introduced in 2011 which legally required private firms to employ national workers, around 1.5 million Saudi nationals work in the private sector today. This accounts for 15 percent of all private sector workers, many of whom hold non-managerial positions. Labor nationalization (called “Saudization,” or sa‘wada in the Arabic language) in the Saudi private sector has witnessed a gradual but certain increase. However, what is salient today is the unevenness of the in- crease across types of jobs. For instance, no less than 97 percent of administrative jobs have already been filled by Saudi nationals. Labor Market Dynamics in the GCC States | Autumn 2015 17 II. Analysis But the proportion of national workers among engi- While a handful of qualified national in- neers is less than 10 percent.

  • 2020 Proceedings Virtual Conference
    Virtual Conference 20 20 Proceedings Retaining Ethnic Identity in the Apparel Design of Modern Saudi Dress Samirah Alotaibi and Sandra Starkey University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Keywords: Apparel, Design, Embroidery, Culture Female Medium (size 6-8) Bust 34", Waist 26", Hip 35" Introduction and Contextual Review: The purpose of this research is to explore ways to develop new apparel designs for Saudi Arabian women that bridge the gap between outdated historic styles and modern, fashion-forward approaches to dressing. The following discussion establishes the importance of traditional dress and is specifically intended to provide a glimpse of some of the unique characteristics of traditional Saudi Arabian dress for women. And while many of these characteristics are presently incorporated into current clothing designs, the outcomes are often outdated and do not fulfill the need for what the new generations desire. While the cultural aspects of clothing design continue to be important, Saudi Arabian women also want clothing options that are stylish, unique, and feminine (Iskandarani, 2006; Tawfiq & Ogle, 2013; Tawfiq & Marchetti, 2017). Clothing, according to Roach-Higgins and Eicher (1992), is a non-verbal communication cue. The traditional dress represents a national culture and historical heritage and includes all garments and body modifications that embody the past for particular members of a certain group (Eicher & Sumberg, 1995; Roach-Higgins & Eicher, 1992). In Saudi Arabia, the embellished ethnic garment holds significance and another, represents a woman's reproductive capabilities, shows a woman's skills in making those garments, and connects the new generation to their ethnic identity as well as their cultural heritage.

  • Middle Eastern Dress Vocabulary
    Middle Eastern Dress Vocabulary Male Dress: Thawb— an ankle-length garment, usually with long sleeves, similar to a robe. The thawb has alternate spellings (thoub and thobe), as well as alternate names (khameez or dishdashah). Wearing the thawb expresses equality and it is also perfectly suited to the hot climate. Bisht— a long white, brown or black cloak trimmed in gold that is worn over the thawb. It is also known as a mishlah. Keffiyeh— a traditional headdress of the Middle East, made of a square cloth, folded and wrapped into various styles around the head. There are many local variations of the keffiyeh. Some wearers wrap the keffiyeh into a turban, while others wear it loosely draped around the back and shoulders. It is usually made of white cotton (popular in the Gulf states); however, there are also checkered pattern in red (usually associated with Jordan) or black (usually associated with the Levant – Israel, Lebanon, Palestinian territories, Egypt, and Syria). The keffiyeh is commonly found in arid climates to provide protection from the sun, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blowing dust and sand. The keffiyeh has various spellings (kaffiyah, keffiya, kaffiya, or kufiya), as well as alternate names (shmagh/shemagh, ghutra, or hatta). Tagiyah— a skullcap sometimes worn under the keffiyeh to keep it from slipping. Agal— a thick, doubled, black cord that holds the keffiyeh in place. Some men may choose not to wear the agal. This item originated as a "camel hobble" used to whip camels in the legs as an obedience tool.
