Full textAbstract:
Many tasks of Nurses are routine, quite difficult, disgusting, unpleasant, and not rewarding, nurses are likely to burn out due to job stress. Job stress affects nurses' health, increases absenteeism and attrition, errors in treating patients, infection rates, and increased cost of employment for hospitals.The aim of quantitative descriptive survey study was to find out the Job stress of 300 female nurses working in selected private hospitals in the Kottayam, selected by simple random sampling in December 2021. Socio-demographic tool and Nurses’ Occupational Stressor Scale (NOSS) were used for data collection.The majority (61%) of the subjects belonged to the age group of 31 to 40 years. The data showed that the majority of the subjects (89%) were married, 56% were from nuclear families and most had 1-2 children. Among the subjects, 55% of spouses had private jobs while 2% were unemployed and 9% worked abroad. Most of the subjects (78%) were GNM. The scope of work was divided equally among the staff, ie, medical 30%, surgical 17%, and critical care medicine/emergency medicine/OT 43%. Of 300 subjects, 47.6% had more than 5 years of experience. 82% of subjects underwent CNE and 73% participated in stress management programs at some stage of their professional life. Of the 300 subjects, 80.3% reported as they are receiving support from their immediate supervisors and Hospital management, while 53% reported that their job interfered with family life, and 44% were moderately satisfied in meeting their family needs. 81% of the subjects showed medium job stress. The mean was 51 (the mean percentage was 60.8%) with a standard deviation of 5.9.For nurses, job stress seems to vary according to individual and job characteristics and work-family conflicts. Interventions should be planned to prevent and manage stress, which in turn contributes to job performance and productivity.

Background:Nurses’ job satisfaction and job stress are important issues regarding their turnovers. While there are some recent descriptive studies on job satisfaction in public hospitals, very limited research was found on this topic in private hospital setting. It is worth to examine the job satisfaction of nurses and its correlates in such a specific hospital context in Hong Kong, by which the findings can be compared with those in public hospitals, and across countries.Aims:To investigate nurses’ job satisfaction, job stress and intention to quit of nurses in a private hospital, and the correlates of the nurses’ job satisfaction.Design:A cross-sectional, descriptive survey study was conducted.Methods:By using stratified random sampling in terms of nature of wards/units and working ranks, 139 full-time nurses who were working in the 400-bed private hospital for at least 6 months and provided direct nursing care were recruited in this study. Data were collected by employing a set of self-administered structured questionnaires, consisting of the Index of Work Satisfaction (job satisfaction), Anxiety-Stress Questionnaire (job stress), Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire (intention to quit), and socio-demographic data.Results:With a response rate of 74.3%, the results of the 139 respondents showed that the nurses in the private hospital had an overall moderate level of satisfaction with their work and rated the professional status as the highest satisfied domain. The nurses also reported moderate levels of job stress and intention to quit. The nurses’ job satisfaction was negatively correlated with their job stress and intention to quit; whereas, the nurses’ job stress was positively correlated with their intention to quit. The nurses with older in age and more post-registration experience and/or working experience in the private hospital indicated a higher level of job satisfaction, particularly with ‘Pay’ and ‘Autonomy’.Conclusion:The findings suggest that the nurses in the private hospital are moderately stressful and satisfied with their work environment and relationships. A few socio-demographic characteristics of these nurses such as their age and years of clinical experiences were associated with their levels of job satisfaction and/or stress. The findings provided information for private hospitals and healthcare organizations about the need and areas for improvement of nurse’s job satisfaction, thus strengthening their recruitment and retention.

Full textAbstract:
The teaching profession is in major turmoil if vast numbers of faculties are dissatisfied with the job of teaching. It would be important and therefore necessary to ascertain which factors influence more in determining stress and level of job satisfaction among the faculties in private colleges. Stress play a key role in determining the level of job satisfaction among the faculties in which stress comes in different forms like pressure from senior faculties, gender and age difference, experience in teaching, working conditions provided by the organization or unfavorable environment, nature of work and salary. The teaching profession is a most respected one and the faculties are to be get respected by any institution for their devotion to the field of education. In recent years faculty members at a large number of colleges expressed stress and not felt comfortable with their nature of job. Many researches have been undertaken in the recent years that consider stress in the private colleges in which the faculties are working. Working as an academician or faculty is a most important job in the field of education as it increases the morale of the society and brings value and credit to the country. Job satisfaction is really a requirement for every employee to improve his standard of living and also his commitment towards his job which makes him not feel stress in his job. This paper focuses on stress and level of job satisfaction among faculties in private colleges in India. Using a sample of 190 faculties and the questionnaire survey revealed that some of the demographic characteristics of the sample were related to stress which shows a decline in the level of job satisfaction. The results also showed that the faculties who reported greater stress were less satisfied with their job, reported not committed to their job because of stress and were more likely to leave their jobs and less likely to adjust to the work environment.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Cyberloafing has been reported as a prevalent practice among employees and has been called the hidden epidemic killing business productivity. Given the importance of this issue, this study aims to propose and empirically test a research model to investigate the relationships between private demands, job stress and cyberloafing, premised on border theory, conservation of resources theory and general strain theory. Design/methodology/approach A total of 301 usable data were collected from employees who work in the ICT sector, using self-reported questionnaires that are subsequently analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS) structural equation modelling. Findings The results of this study have revealed that both private demands and job stress are positively related to cyberloafing. In addition, job stress is positively related to private demands and also partially mediates the relationship between private demands and cyberloafing. Therefore, the findings are suggestive of employee’s job resources being depleted when they cross between work and non-work domains as they attempt to satisfy their private demands. As a result, insufficient job resources channelled towards handling job-related demands results in job stress, followed by their engagement in cyberloafing behaviour as a coping mechanism. Originality/value The main theoretical contribution of this research is to expand upon the existing knowledge of the relationship between private demands and cyberloafing by demonstrating the mediating effect of job stress. Interestingly, the findings revealed that employees’ non-work domain can have a significant influence on both emotions and behaviours at work.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine whether job satisfaction and job-related stress differ among employees of different banking sectors. Design/methodology/approach – Questionnaire were administered to 337 employees from various banks belonging to private sector, public sector and new generation banks. One way ANOVA was conducted to find out whether job satisfaction and job relates stress varied on the basis of three different sectors of banks. Further post hoc test was conducted to find out which sector differs significantly. Findings – Results indicated that employees of different sectors of bank had different level of job satisfaction and job-related stress. Further it was revealed that public sector banks have lower job-related stress when compared to private sector banks and new generation banks; and higher job satisfaction when compared to new generation banks. Practical implications – With the rapid developments and competition in banks, measures should be taken in private sector banks and new generations banks to reduce job-related stress and enhance job satisfaction level of employees. This may also result in increased quality of services and reduced labour turnover in banks. Originality/value – The study is original and empirical in nature. It shows that the job satisfaction and job-related stress differ among employees of different groups of banks in the banking sector. If banking sector is considered as a true representative of the service sector, the results of this study has wider implication in the service industry as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
Aims: To examine the relationships of two screening instruments recently developed for assessment of exhaustion disorder (ED) with some other well-known inventories intended to assess ED-related concepts and self-reports of job demands, job control, job support, private life stressors, and personality factors. Methods: A cross-sectional population sample ( n = 1355) completed: the Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale (KEDS), Self-reported Exhaustion Disorder Scale (s-ED), Shirom–Melamed Burnout Questionnaire (SMBQ), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9), Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), Big Five Inventory (BFI), and items concerning family-to-work interference and stress in private life. Results: Compared to participants without any indication of ED, participants classified as having ED on KEDS or s-ED had higher scores on all four SMBQ subscales, lower scores on the UWES-9 subscales vigor and dedication, higher JCQ job demands scores, lower JCQ job support scores, higher degrees of family-to-work interference and stress in private life, and higher BFI neuroticism and openness scores. In addition, participants classified as having ED on KEDS had lower scores on the UWES-9 absorption subscale, the JCQ job control scale, and lower BFI extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness scores, compared to the subgroup not classified as having ED. Conclusions: As expected, we observed an overall pattern of associations between the ED screening inventories KEDS and s-ED and measures of burnout, work engagement, job demands-control-support, stress in private life, family-to-work interference, and personality factors. The results suggest that instruments designed to assess burnout, work engagement, and ED share common ground, despite their conceptual differences.

Full textAbstract:
The purposes of this study were to describe perceived health problems and perceived stress and examine the relationship between perceived health problems and perceived stress in nursing students in five small religiously affiliated colleges with schools of nursing in Indiana.The Neuman Systems Model (Neuman, 1989) was the theoretical framework for the study. Health problems were examined using the Health Problems Inventory (Jones, L. H., 1988) and stress was measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983).Findings included a moderate level of perceived health problems and a moderate level of perceived stress for the 150 study participants. The relationship between perceived health problems and perceived stress was strongly positive at a significant level (r= .69, p< .001). These findings were consistent with other studies that showed a relationship between stress and health problems in college students. These findings support Neuman's model of the effect of stressors on the system (disrupting the stability).Conclusions were that there is a level of stress that is unmanaged and perceived health problems which may be interfering with the students' education. The study findings have implications for students, nursing faculty, and those who provide health care to college students. Implications are organized into Neuman's three modes of prevention: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Implications included assessment of students to determine the presence of stress, stress management education for students, alerting nursing faculty and health care providers to the health problems identified by students, and increasing faculty awareness concerning the stressful nature of nursing school.School of Nursing

Full textAbstract:
Current day organisations must revert to many measures to survive in the very competing business environment. One of these measures is to reduce the number of employees. This leads to perceptions of job insecurity, not only in the employees who are not made redundant but also in employees in so-called stable organisations who are aware of these measures being implemented in other organisations. Researchers found conflicting results of job insecurity regarding performance of employees experiencing job insecurity. On the one hand it was reported that job insecurity leads to higher job performance and on the other that it leads to lower job performance. To reconcile these conflicting findings Jordan, Ashkanasy and Hartel (2002) developed a model. In their two stage model in which they postulate that perceptions of job insecurity could lead to lower affective organisational commitment and higher job-related stress and this in turn could lead to negative coping behaviour (stage one). They then include emotional intelligence (EI) as moderator of all the links between the above mentioned constructs (stage two). They are of the opinion that employees with high EI will experience higher affective organisational commitment and lower job-related stress than employees with low EI when perceptions of job insecurity are experienced. They also postulate that employees with high EI will be less inclined to revert to negative coping behaviour. The main objective of this study was to investigate whether this model would be applicable to employees of private health care organisations in Gauteng. In the first article a literature review was conducted to determine how job insecurity, affective organisational commitment, job-related stress and coping were conceptualised as well as the relationships between these constructs. This was done to investigate the first stage of the model of Jordan et al. (2002).
In the second article a literature review was conducted to determine how job insecurity, affective organisational commitment, job-related stress, coping and EI were conceptualised. The relationships between these constructs and the role of EI as moderator of these relationships were also determined. This was done to investigate the second stage of the model of Jordan et al. (2002). A non-experimental correlation research design was used. Employees of private health care organisations were the participants. The Job Insecurity Inventory, the Organisational Commitment Questionnaire, the Experience of Work Life and Circumstances Questionnaire, the Cope Questionnaire and the Emotional Intelligence Scale were used, as well as a biographical questionnaire. The SPPS program and partly STATISTIKA were used to perform the statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Cronbach alpha coefficients and factor analyses were used to assess the reliability and validity of the measuring instruments. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were used to specify the relationships between the variables. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the moderating influence of emotional intelligence. It was determined that, in this specific research group, job insecurity has a negative correlation with affective organisational commitment. Job insecurity has a positive correlation with job-related stress levels. A positive correlation was found between job-related stress levels and certain negative coping behaviours, such as denial, behavioural disengagement and mental disengagement. A negative correlation was found between affective organisational commitment and negative coping behaviour, specifically the use of drugs or alcohol. All of these correlations were statistically and practically significant.
It was found that job insecurity as independent variable explains 12.1% of the total variance in affective organisational commitment. It was also found that job insecurity as independent variable explains 21.1 % of the total variance in the job -related stress levels. These findings indicated that the first stage of the model of Jordan et al. (2002) could be supported.
Multiple regression analyses were performed to determine the moderating effect of EI as discussed above. The results indicated that EI had only a slight but significant moderating effect on the job insecurity -affective organisational commitment relationship and no effect on the job insecurity - job-related stress relationship. The results also indicate that EI moderates the strength of the relationship between affective organisational commitment and coping behaviour to such an extent that affective organisational commitment's predictive value is reduced to closely insignificant whilst EI emerges as the primary predictor of coping behaviour (both positive and negative). This may imply that emotionally intelligent employees will tend to use more problem-focused coping behaviour irrespective of the affective organisational commitment that they experience. Although to a lesser extent in this study, it was found that emotionally intelligent employees also make use of emotion-focused coping behaviour appropriate for managing affective states associated with experienced stress. Concerning avoidant coping strategies EI significantly negatively moderates alcohol-drug disengagement as a coping strategy, meaning employees with high EI will tend not to revert to the use of drugs or alcohol as coping strategy. It was concluded that EI does not buffer employees against the emotional consequences of job insecurity in this research group, as proposed by the model of Jordan et al. (2002), but rather enables them to cope with these emotional effects using problem-focused- and emotion- focused coping strategies, but not avoidant strategies. The latter finding is in line with the proposed model of Jordan et al.(2002).
Conclusions, the limitations of this research and recommendations for private health care organisations and for future research were made.Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2009.

Full textAbstract:
A critical care unit is a dynamic and highly technological environment. Professional nurses who have been working in the critical care unit for a period of time are passionate about the environment in which they work. They find their on duty time challenging and stimulating. The critical care environment is slowly changing. Due to the fact that there are fewer professional nurses with an additional qualification in critical care available to work in the critical care units. The utilisation of an increasing number of agency nurses leads to an increase in sub-standard nursing care as well as dissatisfied doctors and patients. The shortage of critical care staff has resulted in the need to find an alternative human resources framework and still provide cost effective, safe quality patient care. This leads to the design and implementation of a team nursing care framework for critical care. The research objectives for this study were: - To explore and describe the experiences of professional nurses with regard to a team nursing care framework in private critical care units. - Develop guidelines to optimize the team nursing care framework in critical care units in a private hospital group. The research is based on a qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design. The study is based on a phenomenological approach to inquiry. Eleven in-depth semi structured face-to-face phenomenological interviews were utilized as the main means of collecting data. A purposive, criterion based, sampling method was used. Specific inclusion criteria were met and consent was obtained from the participants and from the management of the private clinic where the research was conducted. Two central themes were identified:- Theme One: The professional nurses experienced the team nursing care framework in the critical care unit as a burden. Six sub-themes were identified. - Theme Two: Professional nurses made recommendations for improvement of the team nursing care framework in the critical care unit. By describing the lived experiences of the professional nurses in the critical care units, based on research interviews, the researcher painted a clear picture of the team nursing care framework in the critical care unit. Guidelines were developed based on the identified themes. The broad guidelines are aimed at ensuring that the nurses are competent to care for critical care patients prior to them commencing work in the critical care unit. The researcher concludes this study by making recommendations for Nursing practice, education and research.

A Study of Job Stress and Job Satisfaction on Private Universities Accountants Student: Hsiao-Pin Lin Advisor: Fong-Seng Hu, Ph.D. Feng Chia University Graduate Institute of Public Policy Thesis Abstract This study aims to probe into the job stress and job satisfaction of accountants on private universities, and their differences in job stress and satisfaction of accountants under different background variables. Moreover, it discuss the relationship between job stress and satisfaction of the accountants, and analyzes the predictability of job stress over job satisfaction. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the “Questionnaire of A Study of Job Stress and Job Satisfaction on Private Universities Accountants” as the research tool. The subjects were the accountants in private universities. By random sampling, a total of 170 effective questionnaires were retrieved. The data were analyzed with statistical methods of reliability analysis, validity analysis, descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and stepwise regression analysis. The results are as follows: 1.The awareness of job stress of accountants is at a medium level, and the feeling for pressure on “workload” is the highest. 2.Female accountants show significant differences in job stress. 3.The awareness of job satisfaction of accountants is at a medium level, and the feeling for satisfaction of “colleagues” is the highest. 4.The background variables of accountants have significant difference in job satisfaction. Those with a seniority of 26 years, have a bachelor degree, in the position of director, and have a monthly salary of NTD60,001~ 80,000 and NTD80,000~100,000 have the highest job satisfaction. 5.The job stress and satisfaction of accountants are negatively correlated, meaning that with heavier job stress, the job satisfaction is lower, and vice versa. 6.The job stress and satisfaction of accountants have significant predictability, in other words, the degree of job stress of accountants could predict the extent of job satisfaction. Based on the results, suggestions are proposed for reference of chief executives, accountant directors, accountants of private universities, and future researchers. It is expected to relieve the job stress of accountants, increase their job satisfaction, maintain stability of accountants, and reduce the transfer of units and service quality.

The study sample included private senior high (vocational) school teachers in Taoyuan. From the survey returned, 541 were coded. The effective returns-ratio was 67.6%. Descriptive statistics, independent sample T-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson Product-Moment correlation were computed for data analysis. The results indicated that (a) The consciousness level for job stress in private senior high (vocational) school teachers in Taoyuan was upper-middle. (b) The consciousness level for job satisfaction in private senior high (vocational) school teachers in Taoyuan was approaching unsatisfied. (c) Part of background variables were positively significant on job stress of private senior high (vocational) school teachers in Taoyuan. (d) Part of background variables were positively significant on job satisfaction of private senior high (vocational) school teachers in Taoyuan. (e) There was middle level negative relationship between job stress and job satisfaction of private senior high (vocational) school teachers in Taoyuan.

Full textAbstract:
The hedge fund industry in the United States has evolved from a niche market participant in the early 1950s to a major industry operating in international financial markets today. Hedge funds in the United States began as privately held and privately managed investment funds, unregistered and exempt from federal securities regulation. An increasing investor demand for hedge funds and substantial growth of the hedge fund industry resulted in a tectonic shift in the regulatory framework applicable to the industry via the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection (Dodd-Frank) Act. This chapter summarizes the evolution of the regulatory framework governing the hedge fund industry. It focuses on the registration and disclosure provisions added by the Dodd-Frank Act and several other regulatory innovations, including the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act and proposals for tax reform of the private investment fund industry.

Full textAbstract:
The archaeological study of prostitution in nineteenth-century American contexts grew out of the discovery of brothels in the 1990s during large urban projects done in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act. This book provides an overview of many of those projects as well as detailed discussions of a brothel found at Five Points in New York City and several parlor houses found in Washington, D.C. The large artifact assemblages recovered in combination with detailed primary and secondary historical research have produced a complex picture of commercial sex, which the book discusses in both nineteenth-century and twenty-first century perspectives. Agency theory is used to link the practice of prostitution with other forms of clandestine behavior that have come to light through archaeology. Issues of gender, class, and race run through the archaeological study of clandestine behavior, which includes acts of resistance in public—from drinking on the job to piracy—and acts in private—from hiding caches of artifacts in vulnerable places to scratching inscrutable designs on ceramic pots. The book ends with questions that touch on the age-old conundrum of passing judgment. Should prostitution be decriminalized? Should the efficacy of spiritual practices be questioned? The value of anomalous artifacts and their interpretation is stressed as crucial to recognizing brothels and evidence of clandestine pursuits.

Different reasons influence intentions of technical and scientific professionals to stay or leave their current jobs, impacting the ability of companies to retain these professionals. This paper identified the antecedents of intentions to leave, intentions to stay, and retention of such technical and scientific professionals in private research and development organizations from the Greater Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Data was collected via online questionnaires between December, 2014 and March, 2015. Job satisfaction and supervisory support were negatively related to the intention to leave the organization, and positively related to the intention to stay in the organization. Training and development opportunities and organizational culture presented negative relation only to the intention to leave the organization. The article discusses these results and presents suggestions for future studies.

This study examines the relationship between stress and job satisfaction on the turnover intention among academic staff of private higher educational institutions (HEIs) in Malaysia. A total of 308 private HEIs academic staff have participated through multistage cluster sampling. The results showed a significant positive relationship between stress and turnover intention and a significant negative relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. Also, stress and job satisfaction predicted the turnover intention among academic staff in private HEIs. The study provides a clearer understanding and reference to employers about the issue of retrenchment, stress, and job satisfaction among the academic staff of private HEIs in Malaysia. Appropriate strategies can be taken by the organisations involved. For employees, appropriate initiatives can address the causes of turnover intention, such as stress and job satisfaction. Good handling from all parties can prevent the occurrence of retrenchment and further improve the individuals' well-being.

Gunilla Bradley has been an intellectual force for more than forty years. The evolution of her thinking led to a theoretical model that posits the convergence of computer, information, and media technologies and how our work and private lives have been transformed by computerization. This essay examines recent research on this convergence in the context of multitasking, including communicative practices in social and interpersonal interactions at work, effects on the quality of work life and job performance, and the dissolving of the boundaries of work and private lives. Convergence has had both positive and negative effects. It has the potential for improving the quality of social and interpersonal relationships and productivity in the workplace, but, at the same time, substantial evidence shows that multitasking has contributed, sometimes significantly, to increases in stress and cognitive load that have impeded job performance. These effects of computerization were identified very early in Bradley’s research investigations, confirming the continued relevance of her research agenda for future work that she proposed more than 20 years ago in her book Computers and the Psychosocial Work Environment.

Full textAbstract:
According to John Grabe (1715), at the beginning of Christianity, the canon of the Diaspora Jews, particularly in Alexandria, was more extensive than the canon in Jerusalem. But this hypothesis is inadequate since other wider collections of ‘inspired books’ were present in Qumran and elsewhere. All the deuterocanonical books, which are outside the Masoretic Bible, have a Jewish origin. The comparison between rabbinic and patristic data suggest that, sometime before the Christian era, there existed in Judaism a category of books which were recommended for private reading but could not be read publicly. There are also Septuagint supplements to the shared books, in Daniel, Esther, Jeremiah, Job, and Psalms. All of them are the product of Jewish writers, except Psalm 13:3c–j which comes from Paul. Other Christian data about the number of the Biblical books and the subdivision of the Bible are analysed, but none of them come from Jewish sources. One must stress the paradox of the books specific to the Septuagint: even if they are preserved by means of the Christian Old Testament, they are all Jewish and are of most importance for a better knowledge of ancient Judaism.

This chapter highlights food insecurity. One in six people in the United States experiences food insecurity. Food insecurity has dramatic effects on the health of children and the elderly in particular, influencing educational progress, family stress, and nutritional deficiencies. Yet, as millions of Americans remain food insecure, they throw away 40% of their food every day. The largest source of this waste is the food people buy and bring home; 70% of all food discarded in people’s homes is edible. Restaurants are second in waste generation. If people could recover and redistribute one third of the food they waste, they could end food insecurity. Other countries are already moving in this direction; people may be starting to take similar steps in the United States. The 2018 Farm Bill supports food waste reduction plans in 10 states, creates a new Food Loss and Waste Liaison position within the US Department of Agriculture, and, following the European example, promotes the expansion of liability protections for food donations. In the private sector, there has been a rush of money into food waste reduction start-ups. Ultimately, reducing food waste creates economic, environmental, and public health benefits, as well as jobs, climate change deceleration, and hunger relief.

Full textAbstract:
What about cars is bad? In turn, what should transportation planners do? In the early years of the automobile era, the transportation planner’s job was to develop street and highway networks. Sometimes the thinking was as simple as drawing lines on a map to connect concentrations of trip origins and trip destinations, and then building highways along the path that most closely corresponded to those lines. Air quality problems were not conclusively linked to automobile travel until the 1950s. Issues such as the displacement of persons from residential neighborhoods and the impact on habitat were secondary concerns at best until the 1960s. The primary, almost exclusive, focus during the first decades of the automobile era was to build a street and highway network that could accommodate a new mode of transportation. This began to change by the late 1960s. Planned highway networks neared completion in many cities. At the same time, the broader social costs of transportation became more apparent. Automobile emissions are a major contributor to urban air pollution. Traffic congestion has been a perpetual problem for several decades in most cities. Neighborhoods severed by highway projects often quickly deteriorated. Scholars and policy analysts now ask whether transportation resources are fairly distributed across different segments of society and how transportation access is linked to labor market success. As all of these issues have moved to the fore, transportation planning has increasingly focused on how to manage the social implications of transportation projects. Modern transportation planning now necessarily focuses as much on managing the social costs of travel as on facilitating travel. Because 87 percent of all trips in the United States in 1990 were by private vehicle (mostly cars and light trucks), the social costs of travel are, first and foremost, the social costs of the automobile. Public concerns regarding air quality, congestion, neighborhood stability, and equity gave rise to new regulatory agencies, technological innovations, and legal frameworks for transportation planning. Yet the demand for cleaner, less congested, more fair transportation systems persists. This is the context for the new urban designs. They seek, in large part, to address the social costs of automobile travel.

In 2020, the world was hit by the Covid-19 epidemic and the countries made different decisions on when and how to adopt adequate measures. One of them was teleworking; many people stayed at home where they worked and at the same time took care of their family members and assisted their school-age children. After one month of working from home, the respondents assessed that their family members had a better understanding of the concept of working from home. Besides, the respondents were more organised for this type of work and took care of their school-age children. The fear of losing their job has also reduced, but they were more concerned about salary cuts. The selection of findings and measures could become a guide for employees in order to help them balance private life and work and thus manage stress when working from home.

Full textAbstract:
In Europe, the demographic profile is towards an increasingly aged workforce [1], characterized by a significant aging of the population. The people aged 55 years or more accounted for one fifth of the total workforce, and as one consequence of increasing longevity, must work more years before retirement [2].Aging of the workforce is a growing problem for many developed and developing countries, pushing companies to explore ways to keep older workers employed for a longer period of time and to support them to maintain their work ability and increase their employability. The literature shows that “age related factors should be taken into consideration in daily management, including work arrangements and individual work tasks, so that everybody, regardless of age, feels empowered in reaching their own and corporate goals” [3].At the same rhythm with these challenges related to the ageing workforce, the work itself is undergoing technological upgrading driven by digitization. ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) have radically determined the modification of people's habits and lifestyles, also in the field of work, introducing new methods of working for example the smart working. These evolving work methods required smart workers to acquire new professional skills in a short time and to adapt to new technologies, new work processes and new forms of collaboration. All these changes lead to greater difficulties, especially for aged smart workers, such as: i) lack of physical interactions and the resulting isolation; ii) increased workload and consequently increased stress (always on); iii) difficulties in communication and time management problems; iv) work-life balance and personal life problems. Therefore it emerges the need to design innovative and friendly devices to address the challenges and difficulties mentioned above, facilitating interaction between smart workers, time management and work organization. These innovative devices and systems need to be easy to use and intuitive to learn in order to increase the inclusion of the aging smart workers, reducing the digital divide.Tangible User Interfaces could represent a fertile ground with the greatest potential to tackle these challenges as they give physical form to digital information and computation, and at the same time they facilitate the direct manipulation of bits. Unlike GUIs, where human-machine interaction occurs through the use of a mouse, keyboard or touchpad and is displayed on a screen as interaction’s results, the use of TUIs involves direct interaction with physical objects to which digital information has been associated, within a defined action space.In this context, the challenge is how ICT-embedded solutions, particularly Tangible User Interfaces, can meet the needs of a growing number of ageing smart worker in terms of inclusion, and of social, physical and mental wellbeing to sustain a team spirit, maintain team cohesion by offering sensory user experience and a tactile interaction with digitized work.The general objective of the research project presented in this article is to develop ICT-embedded devices based on TUIs, aimed at aging smart workers, with following objectives:fostering communication and interaction with the digital world through a tactile experience;increasing the organization, motivation, and job satisfaction; promoting work-life balance to increase physical and mental wellbeing. The result consists of a digital devices’ system, that can interact with each other and with users through a dedicated application for mobile. The system allows to improve the smart workers experience and their well-being through:empowerment, with the introduction of a "digital personal coach" who accompanies the worker during the performance of the activities;enhancement of concentration by providing for the performance of only one activity at a time to increase the overall efficiency of the worker;work-life balance improvement, with a better management of the balance between working and private dimensions;communication and collaboration facilitation with other colleagues;reduction of technological abundance through the use of tangible interfaces;exploitation of peripheral interaction to reduce the risk of loss of concentration during activities.1.European Commission - Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs: The 2015 Ageing Report.

Full textAbstract:
As proven in the preceding pilot study the historical Viennese ground floor originally presented an intruiging and essential semi-public sphere with no clear-cut boundary between inside and out. Rather, doors and windows were left open most of the time so that there were many points that gave access to the ground-floor premises. Original photos from the period attest to this: the ground-floor facades were permeable; semi-public or even private uses of the ground floor extended to the street, and conversely, the premises were easily accessible to the “public flow.” In addition many of the ground-floor premises in the chosen research area were connected with basement floors or cellars underneath, which meant a further extension of the urban parterre. The (commercial) use of the street-facing premises in most cases also included the interior courtyard. Today, interior courtyards mostly accommodate garbage cans or dumpsters; more intensive, diversified uses of this part of the StadtParterre nowadays are rare. Thus the historical StadtParterre was a ramified, varied, much-used and hence engaging space. Permeable ground-floor facades provided a flexible interface between public and semi-public spaces; intensely interacting with one another. First and foremost, though, the point here is to acknowledge the significance of the urban parterre for the functoning of a city—a fact that has somewhat fallen into oblivion in the noughties of the 21st century ever since the emergence of 3D city modeling. The reason for this may be that conventional 3D city models canot really represent intricate, small-scale, multilayered, and ramified ground-floor structures und thus prevent us from perceiving them in a broader functional perspective.The paper discusses reasons and socio-urban effects of a dis-linked, malfunctioning urban parterre.References Anderson, S. ed.

Full textAbstract:
Housing and transportation has become a pair of factors when it comes to decision of buying a house for the middle-income. This particular group of society is unique as they are aspired to luxury yet with limited affordability, particularly in the developing countries such as Indonesia. In many cases, housing estates are built in the form similar to gated community. Built in the suburban when usually the new housing estates are located quite in far distance to facilities, the residents are forced to own private vehicle(s) to conduct their daily activities. This situation shows the tendency of automobile dependence (Newman & Kenworthy, 1996; 1999). It has also been reflected in the vehicle ownership statistics figures and the notorious traffic congestion of Indonesian cities. The middle-income housing and their gated community has not only impacted their own travel pattern but also the residents living in kampung adjacent to their housing estate. Kampung dwellers have also reflected the middle-income characteristics with their lifestyle and automobile dependence. It has become eminent in suburban Bandung where pockets of kampung are found to be hidden amidst the housing estates whilst cars are parked on the roadsides. This is problematic in terms of affordability where they cannot really afford to own a car or motorbike as well as to rent a parking space since they usually live in small houses at kampung. To understand the above phenomenon, this paper tries to explore the extent of automobile dependency of the residents living at housing estate and its adjacent kampung at three locations. Data collected from questionnaires and group interviews are descriptively analysed. Results have shown that most residents travel in far distance to reach their job location but do not travel in far distance to conduct their shopping, studying, and exercise activities though some of them own a motorbike. The latter is due to the presence of mobile green grocers, warung, traditional markets, good quality schools, sport facilities and open spaces within walking distance to their houses. However, these nearby facilities are regularly visited mostly because the residents can travel within shorter distance through access points made available for public use. These access points help to create a network of alleys and streets connecting kampung and these facilities through the housing estates. When these access points are restricted or non-existed, the travel pattern would differ as has been uttered by the kampung dwellers. In one of the cases, the following disconnections between the kampung alleys and streets of housing estates have made the kampung dwellers altered either the location or the transportation mode of their activities. There are lessons to be learned from these travel patterns. Housing estate development shall always have access to the kampung that have existed and vice versa. Such spatial connections may contribute to a change of travel behaviour from automobile dependence to active travel. However, it should be kept in mind that these results may not be generally applicable to other places with different socio-economic and spatial characters. Further work in the field may be benefited from more cases and larger population sample.

Full textAbstract:
En 2007 Google lanzó el proyecto Google Street View que consistió en crear un archivo visual de todas las vías transitables del planeta. Aunque su finalidad es proporcionar la información de orientación en el espacio a los usuarios de Google Maps, este archivo fotográfico tiene muchas más utilidades potenciales. Así, artistas como Jon Rafman, Paolo Cirio o Joachim Schmid se han interesado por esta plataforma informática como fuente de la inspiración creativa. Además, dado que este software nos permite pasear por cualquier parte del mundo que ha sido registrada por los automóviles Google, para un inmigrante representa la posibilidad de realizar un viaje virtual a su tierra. Es importante mencionar que el territorio constituye parte del contexto en que se desarrolla la subjetividad del individuo, ofreciéndole un referente de identificación simbólica (Valera, 1997; Zapiain Aizpuru, 2011). A su vez, el paisaje es la percepción personal del territorio que depende de las experiencias vinculadas al mismo (Giménez, 2001; Montejano y Sierra, 2014). El cambio del país de residencia no sólo expone al inmigrante a una cultura diferente, también lo priva del contacto con los lugares que guardan recuerdos de los acontecimientos de su pasado. Esta relación íntima entre la memoria, la identidad y el paisaje, dota a las imágenes que retratan estos espacios significativos de una carga emocional muy potente, y permite al inmigrante contar su historia a partir de los escenarios de su actuación pasada. De modo que crear un relato visual compuesto por las fotografías de Google Street View, reinventando así la idea del álbum familiar, permite reconstruir la narrativa subjetiva a partir de estas imágenes vinculadas al espacio y a una persona en concreto. Por tanto, nuestra hipótesis tratará de demostrar cómo la plataforma Google Street View puede servir como herramienta para la mediación artística con el colectivo inmigrante. Para ello, primeramente haremos un breve recorrido por los estudios desarrollados en distintos ámbitos que darán fundamento a nuestra tesis. Seguidamente, esbozaremos una propuesta de taller, cuya metodología se basará en las premisas marcadas en el estudio de Moreno (2010) sobre la mediación artística para la intervención social. Los participantes realizarán un viaje virtual a su tierra natal y crearán un álbum de recuerdos “prestados”, apropiándose de algunas imágenes mediante captura de pantalla y, así, poder rememorar su lugar de origen a través del paisaje fotográfico. Se trata de una tentativa de restablecer la continuidad del relato personal, interrumpido por la experiencia del desplazamiento. El momento clave de la experiencia sería la presentación de los resultados individuales ante el grupo, acompañando el relato visual con una narración de las vivencias personales vinculadas a los lugares registrados. Este intercambio permitirá compartir el duelo del desarraigo y sentir el reconocimiento y la aceptación por parte de los compañeros. Así, la persona desplazada tendría la oportunidad de reestructurar su narrativa subjetiva y construir nuevos lazos afectivos con el entorno de acogida. De esta manera, en esta investigación definiremos el planteamiento general de la propuesta de taller.
