Job Role

Stress is a complex multifaceted concept that is the result of adverse or demanding circumstances. Workers, especially health care workers, suffer significantly from distress, burnout, and other physical illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes caused by stress. Numerous stress detection systems are realized but they only help in detecting the stress in early stages, and, for regularizing it, these systems employ other means. These systems lack any inherent feature for regularization of stress. In contributing toward this aim, a novel system “EEG-Based Aptitude Detection System” is proposed. This system will help in considering working aptitude of employees working in work places with an intention to help them in assigning proper job roles based on their working aptitude. Selection of right job role for workers not only helps in uplifting productivity but also helps in regulating stress level of employees caused by improper job role assignments and reduces fatigue. Being able to select right job role for workers will help them in providing productive working environment. This paper presents detail layered architecture, implementation details, and outcomes of the proposed novel system. Integration of this system in work places will help supervisors in utilizing the human resource more suitably and will help in regulating stress related issues with improvement in overall performance of entire office. In this work, different implementation architectures based on KNN, SVM, DT, NB, CNN, and LSTM are tested, where LSTM has provided better results and achieved accuracy up to 94% in correctly classifying an EEG signal. The rest of the details can be seen in Sections 3 and 5.

The purpose of the study was to examine the leisure constraints and job satisfaction of middle-aged and elderly health care workers. The study employed a mixed research method, utilizing SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 23.0 statistical software to analyze 260 questionnaires using basic statistical tests, t-tests, ANOVA tests, and structural equation models, and then interviewed medical and public health workers and experts in the field, and the results were analyzed using multivariate verification analysis. The results showed that there was a significant low correlation between leisure constraints and job satisfaction among middle-aged and elderly health care workers (p < 0.01); interpersonal constraints and external job satisfaction factors were the main influencing factors; improving promotion opportunities and receiving appreciation increased job satisfaction; poor working environment and facilities, as well as the lack of achievement, were the main factors that reduced satisfaction; health factors, a lack of family support, no exercise partner, and a lack of extra budget are the key to leisure constraints. If the organization can provide nearby sports facilities for middle and high-age medical workers, improve welfare, and increase willingness to participate in leisure activities, physical and mental health can be improved. Finally, interpersonal interaction in leisure obstacles is the main reason for improving job satisfaction.

The Impact

Healthcare workers are the front liners in war against COVID 19 pandemic. Since this fight against the pandemic started, thousands of heath care workers have been infected with many paying the ultimate price with their lives in a bid to provide health care service to COVID 19 patients. Currently many are either in quarantine or in isolation. Still many are working with fear of virus and in under poor conditions without adequate protections. The potential for high exposure is generally higher in health care workers due to increased hospitalization, longer time exposure, failure to implement effective personal health protection, lack of training, monitoring of infection control protection mechanism. This has led to shortage of workforce in the health sector. Exposure to COVID 19 in the health care setting depends on the health care worker’s understanding of the infectious nature of the virus, the routes by which the virus is acquired, the techniques that are most hazardous and the safe working environment and practice. This work is therefore aimed at providing relevant information on the risk of exposure, the impact of virus on the health care workers and the required bio safety measures needed to keep the workers safe in the organization.
