Previous literature on student employment within campus recreation departments has focused on a variety of work-related factors, but has been limited by examining single institutions. The current study extended this area of research by examining 290 recreation student employees at 11 institutions located throughout the United States to determine how important five work-related variables were to student employment. Results indicated all variables were rated high in importance, but ability to work around class schedules was most important. Results also indicated that females believe pay rate is more important than males, first year employees do not desire supervisory roles as much as students with more work experience, and students who have supervisory responsibilities find these roles more important than students without such roles. These results can be used by recreation administrators to better understand the priorities of their employees, which ultimately could impact quality of work.

We assessed neuroticism, perceived stress, and work-related factors among obstetrician-gynecologists (ob-gyns), and examined the relationships between these variables. Surveys were sent to 500 physician members of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and we received 287 (57.4%) completed responses. Analyses included descriptive statistics and linear regressions. Ob-gyns reported high levels of perceived stress. After controlling for neuroticism, variables that significantly predicted stress levels included average hours worked, perception of working too many hours, colleague support for work–home balance, isolation due to gender/cultural differences, and perception of workplace control. Because these work-related factors are linked to stress even when controlling for neuroticism, administrators and physicians may consider whether any of these factors are modifiable to mitigate physician stress. This in turn may affect physicians' own health and the quality of care patients receive.

Tyrimo tikslas – išanalizuoti organizacijos aplinkos veiksnių sąsajas su naujų darbuotojų socializacijos rodikliais, atsižvelgiant į šių darbuotojų darbo patirtį. Tyrime dalyvavo 33 asmenys, dirbantys pirmoje darbovietėje, ir 38, dirbantys ne pirmame darbe. Tyrimo rezultatai rodo, kad pirmoje ir ne pirmoje darbovietėje dirbančių asmenų socializacijos lygis, pasibaigus bandomajam laikotarpiui, yra vienodas, tačiau šios grupės tarpusavyje skiriasi kitų socializacijos rodiklių įverčiais: nors dirbantieji pirmoje darbovietėje gauna daugiau informacijos apie organizaciją, patiria didesnį nerimą dėl darbo. Taip pat nustatyta, kad skirtingą darbo patirtį turinčių asmenų socializacija susijusi su darbo grupės dydžiu – kuo grupė mažesnė, tuo socializacija spartesnė. Tačiau kitų veiksnių sąsajos su pirmoje ir ne pirmoje darbovietėje dirbančių darbuotojų socializacija yra skirtingos. Pirmoje darbovietėje dirbančių asmenų socializacijos rodiklius geriausiai prognozuoja darbuotojų ir jų vadovų santykių kokybė ir nedidelė inovacinės kultūros raiška. Ne pirmoje darbovietėje dirbančiųjų socializacijos sėkmingumą geriausiai prognozuoja dalyvaujantis vadovavimo stilius. Tai rodytų, kad būtina individualizuoti darbuotojų socializacijos procesą. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: naujas darbuotojas, socializacija organizacijoje, socializacijos veiksniai, darbo patirtis. The Peculiarities of Organizational Socialization among Newcomers with Different Work Experience Irena Žukauskaitė, Dalia Bagdžiūnienė SummaryThe aim of this study was to discover if there are any differences among organizational socialization of newcomers who already have work experience and employees who are new in labour market. And if the differences were found, to establish what organizational factors have the biggest impact on them. 71 participants took part in the study: 33 participants were working in the first jobs, 38 were working in the second or later jobs. Participants fill out the questionnaires at the end of the 3rd month within the organization. They were asked to evaluate their knowledge about the organization, the amount of experienced of work related anxiety, their attitudes towards the organization they work and towards their job, and the position in newcomer – seniority continuum (feeling of being real member of organization). Additionally they were asked to evaluate leadership style of their executives, quality of leader-subordinate relationship, organizational culture and work group climate. Work group size and mentorship system in organization were the variables which also were taken into analysis. As distinct from other surveys, the results showed no correlation between the work related anxiety and other parameters of organizational socialization. Should the longitudinal studies fail to prove the lack of correlations to be the result of unlinear dependability between time spent in organization and lessen job related anxiety, other emotional adjustment measures are to be considered. Despite the fact that newcomers with and without work experience equally rate themselves in newcomer – seniority continuum, this evaluation is the result of different issues. Those who start their work career have much more information about organization (Mann Whitney z = –1.98, p = 0.047) but still they feel stronger anxiety (Mann Whitney z = –2.29, p = 0,022) than those who already have work experience. The analysis of the organizational factors which affect new employee socialization suggests that the size of newcomer’s work group is negatively related to the results of organizational socialization – the bigger the work group, the worse the organizational socialization (regression analysis R = 0.492, R2 = 0.242, p = 0.000). The better leader – member Exchange evaluations, the more favourable group climate, the help of the official mentor during the first months working in organization, the mild exposure of innovative organizational culture, on the other hand, leads to better results of the organizational socialization (stepwise regression analysis R = 0.734, R2 = 0.539, p = 0.000). Yet again different factors contribute differently to the quality of new employee socialization when newcomers with and without previous work experience were analyzed separately. The results add more arguments for the individualized organizational socialization theory vs. Collective one.Key words: new employee, organizational socialization, socialization factors, work experience.

Question Survey

Abstract Background and study aims Gastroenterologists are at high risk for work-related musculoskeletal injuries. Studies have shown that 37 % to 89 % of endoscopists have work-related musculoskeletal injuries. While all surveys until now have focused on practicing endoscopists, there have been no publications assessing the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries among gastrointerology fellows, which we sought to investigate. Methods A 22-question survey about ergonomics and work-related musculoskeletal injuries was sent to 114 gastroenterology fellows in different programs across the United States in June 2016, and an additional 103 surveys were distributed at Digestive Disease Week in May 2017. Responses were collected, and data were analyzed. Results A total of 156 surveys were collected. Of these, 74 fellows (47 %) reported a new musculoskeletal injury related to endoscopy. Injuries occurred mostly in the first year of fellowship (85 %, P < 0.001). The most common sites of injury were the right wrist (53 %), left thumb (42 %), back (27 %), and neck (22 %). Only 26 % those who had endoscopy-related musculoskeletal injuries had received training in ergonomics compared to 45 % of those who did not have injury (P = 0.012), and ergonomics training was highly desirable among respondents, particularly among those with previous injuries (P = 0.0030) Conclusion Musculoskeletal injuries related to endoscopy are very common among gastroenterology fellows, particularly during the first year of fellowship. While the overall percentage of fellows who received training in ergonomics was low, those who did receive training were less like to report a musculoskeletal injury. There is an urgent need for ergonomics training among Gastroenterology fellows.

Before And After

There was a study of the health status (with emphasis on psychoneurological status) of crew on military helicopters and aircraft before and after the execution of works on liquidation of consequences of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, and received a radiation dose of 226 6 mGy. We studied the results of a poll of the liquidators for the purpose of studying their quality of life 10 years after the accident. The obtained data were compared with the results of radiobiological experiments on animals irradiated at doses comparable to that received by the liquidators. The results of the study concluded that, in assessing psychoneurological status of the liquidators of radiation accidents, it is necessary to take into account the initial state of their health and the whole complex of adverse factors of the Chernobyl accident, and not just the external exposure dose. The main measures of prevention of psychoneurological disorders in liquidators should become: a professional selection of volunteers, who know the basics of radiobiology; professional medical-psychological service; the creation of appropriate socio-hygienic conditions and proportional to the risk faced by the liquidators and their families; reducing the level the harmful and dangerous work-related factors of flight operations, as well as prevention (and it seems important) incorporation into the body of long-lived radionuclides.

Background: A mixed-method study of role stress and work intensity among nurse practitioners (NPs) in mechanical circulatory support (MCS) programs in the United States reported a qualitative data related to burnout. We empirically investigated this phenomenon by pursuing the following specific aims: (1) describe levels of personal burnout (PB), work-related (WB) burnout, and client-related burnout (CB) and quality of work life (QOWL) among MCS-NPs; (2) determine the relationship between burnout and QOWL variables; and (3) identify which type of burnout is a predictor of QOWL. Methods: We employed an exploratory correlational research design. Demographics, work characteristics, and psychometrically robust measures of burnout and QOWL were completed by 47 MCS-NPs from various regions of the United States. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Higher levels of burnout (PB, WB, and CB) were associated with lower levels of QOWL ( r = −.52 to −.64, P < .001). Of the 3 types of burnout, WB burnout showed a significant predictor of QOWL ( R2 = .44, P < .01). Multiple regression models showed that a 1 point increase in mean score of WB would decrease a mean QOWL score by 0.64 after controlling the effect of PB and CB. Some dimensions of QOWL were associated with work/hospital characteristics ( r > −.30, P values <.05). Conclusion: Work-related burnout is negatively associated with low QOWL among NPs. Hospital/work environment was contributing factors to high burnout and low QOWL. Further research is needed to confirm the findings including the effect of burnout and QOWL on patient and ventricular assist device program outcomes.

Mandatory Rotation

SUMMARY Mandatory auditor rotation was recently proposed for the European Union and is also under consideration in the United States. There has been little research into either the benefits or costs of rotation in a true mandatory setting that could inform intelligent policy making. Our paper helps fill this gap by examining Italy, where mandatory rotation of auditors has been required since 1975. We find that outgoing auditors do not shirk on effort (or quality), but final-year fees are 7 percent higher than normal, which may indicate opportunistic pricing. The fees of incoming auditors are discounted by 16 percent even though they have abnormally higher engagement hours in the first year (17 percent), which is suggestive of lowballing. However, subsequent fees are abnormally higher and exceed the initial fee discount. Thus, the costs of mandatory rotation are nontrivial. Higher costs could be acceptable if rotation improves audit quality, but we find evidence of the opposite. Namely, the quality of audited earnings is lower in the first three years following rotation, relative to later years of auditor tenure. Since rotation is costly and earnings quality improves with longer auditor tenure, the evidence from Italy does not support the case for mandatory rotation.

BACKGROUND: The percentage of drivers aged ≥65 years among all Korean taxi drivers has risen sharply from 3.2% in 2006 to 22.0% in 2016. OBJECTIVE: This study compared the characteristics of work-related traffic crashes between male taxi drivers aged ≥65 years and <65 years. METHODS: Using the national compensation data of South Korea, 586 injured male taxi drivers were analyzed based on driver-related (work experience, company size, employment status, injured body part, and injury type) and crash-related factors (time and day of the crash, weather condition, road type, violation and drowsiness) by age group. RESULTS: For the injured drivers aged ≥65, percentages of the crashes related to some factors were lower than those of the drivers aged <65 years: at night (55.2% vs. 64.0%), on rainy or snowy day (7.8% vs. 21.3%), on straight road (40.5% vs 50.9%) and on the expressway (6.9% vs. 13.0%). However, the percentage of the crashes related to a violation for the injured drivers aged ≥65 years (23.3%) was higher than that of the drivers aged <65 years (13.4%). Furthermore, the taxi drivers aged ≥65 years had a higher death rate (14.7%) than the drivers aged <65 years (8.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The results can be useful for injury prevention policies and guidelines for elderly taxi drivers such as strengthened qualification tests for the aged drivers and improvement of the working environment.
