The purpose of this research was to analyze the relationship between the time perspective of Spanish shipyard workers in relation to burnout compared to other blue-collar workers in other sectors, including a total of 644 participants in a shipyard in northern Spain and 223 workers in other sectors. The ages were between 20 and 69 (M = 46.14, SD = 10.98). We used the Spanish version of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Instrument (ZTPI) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory–General Survey (MBI-GS). The mean of the three reliability coefficients of the emotional exhaustion factor was 0.887. In respect to the five factors of the ZTPI questionnaire, the mean of those five coefficients was 0.86. A Student’s t-test for independent samples comparing shipyard naval workers vs. the control group in personality variables and burnout was used. The psychological difference between workers in the naval sector and those in other sectors is better predicted based on two variables: emotional exhaustion and professional efficacy. Workers in the naval sector have a higher risk of becoming burnt-out than workers in other sectors due to a negative past, present and future time perspective. This can be a consequence of constant understimulation and monotonous and repetitive work, as well as a lack of autonomy and social support at work.

Background: In the current study, the mediating roles of safety climate and trust in the relations between leadership styles which are transformational and transactional and safety outcomes which are safety compliance and safety participation are studied.Methods and Material: 101 blue-collar workers from a company in Zonguldak were participated in the study.Results: The results showed that transactional leadership is strongly associated with safety climate. As predicted, transformational leadership is found to be significantly correlated with safety participation.Conclusions: Moreover, transactional leadership is strongly correlated with safety compliance. Both safety climate and trust showed significant correlation with both of the safety outcomes. The mediating roles of trust and safety climate within the relations between transactional leadership and safety compliance and transformational leadership and safety participation are also found.

The longhouse is a home for Brusu Dayak tribes who live in North Kalimantan, which always develops as the building length increases following the increase in the number of family heads in one family. Compared to other Dayak houses, long brusu Dayak tribes have no windows but rely solely on openings on the roof and openings on the building floor as ventilation ventilation. This affects the thermal comfort of the longhouse. In general, this study aims to determine how much influence the shape of the openings on the floor of the brusu dayak longhouse building on the level of thermal comfort.The method in this study includes direct observation of the spaciousness of the shape of the building and the shape of the floor openings in the longhouse, as well as direct measurement at several points that have been determined, namely: measurement of temperature, humidity, air movement using several measuring devices, namely: thermometer, anemometer, hygro thermometer and iinfrared thermometer, measurements are made on the interior of a long house with 15 measuring points, where each point is measured for 24 hours with a measurement time every 2 hours. The results of this study note that the shape of the openings on the floor affects the level of thermal comfort in the longhouse, this is evidenced when the condition of the floor hole is closed there is an increase in the effective temperature in the room even though the increase in the effective temperature is not significant.
