Personal Web Usage

This chapter presents an empirical investigation of why employees use the Internet for personal purpose during work hours. We are especially interested in perceptual difference between personal Web usage groups and non-personal Web usage groups in the context of non-work-related usage of the Internet. Drawing from previous studies in behavioral intention and human attitude, criminology, and moral and ethical decision-making, a comprehensive model was developed and tested through a field survey of 546 business professionals.

Employees spend time during work hours on non-work related activities including visiting ecommerce Websites, managing personal email accounts, and engaging in e-banking. These types of actions in the workplace are known as cyberslacking. Cyberslacking affects employees’ productivity, presents legal concerns, and undermines the security of the employer’s network. This research study addressed the problem of cyberslacking in the public sector, by assessing the ethical severity of cyberslacking activities, as well as how employees perceived that the frequency of such activities occurred by their co-workers. Participants from public sector agencies were asked to report about their amount of time spent and frequency of cyberslacking, what they report about their co-workers’ amount of time spent and frequency of cyberslacking, as well as their perceived ethical severity of cyberslacking in the workplace. Comparisons of the measures were also conducted. Results from 183 participants indicate that employees report their co-workers to engage in cyberslacking significantly higher than what they reported about themselves, while ethical severity of cyberslacking was not considered to be high. Discussions and implications for future research are provided.

BACKGROUND Globally, radiodiagnosis is considered as one of the most sought after specialty in the field of medicine, based on the perceived notion that it is a high income, risk-averse, white-collared job. Radiologists are touted as being one of the highest paid specialists with defined work-hours; however, the ground reality appears to be in contradiction, particularly in the Indian context. The purpose of this study was to objectively assess the current day situation amongst the Indian radiologists. This gender-neutral survey not only dispels many of the prevailing assumptions but also brings to clear light the issues that assail the radiologist on a day to day basis. METHODS A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed with Google survey forms and collected data was obtained from 370 radiologists regarding various parameters, such as the workplace, years of experience, work hours per day, monthly income, peer, and work-related pressures, and their overall perceived happiness quotient. Issues concerning threats to radiology, the need for super or subspecialty training were also addressed. RESULTS Most of the young radiologists opted to work in either diagnostic centers or corporate hospitals as salary drawn was considerably higher than their counterparts in medical colleges. Nearly half the radiologists working at medical colleges augmented their income by working in diagnostic centers. Nearly 2/3rds of the young radiologists work for an average of 10 hours per day, six days a week with a take home salary of approximately 1 – 2 lakhs per month. Only 5 % of the radiologists stated that they were most happy with their work environment, nearly 57 % of them had some kind of occupational hazard and this was directly related to the years of work. Burn out predominated amongst the upcoming radiologists with less than 5 years of work experience and this was found to be compounded by work hours, work pressure and inadequate compensation. CONCLUSIONS Today, young radiologist is caught in a whirlpool of change that has not only threatened the “concept of a settled, satisfied, specialist”, furtherance to this, commoditization of radiology has led to increase in work hours, work pressure, leading to dissatisfaction and early burn out.

This chapter focuses on how work and work experiences such as occupational demands, job autonomy, job stress, work hours, and work-related discrimination influence sleep across populations. A model of sleep and work is offered that accounts for the role of social factors. Empirical evidence demonstrates how these work factors such as occupational demands, autonomy, work schedules, long work hours, selection or placement into labor market sectors, work stress, social support at work, and work-related discrimination impact sleep health. Epidemiological evidence is further provided for sleep health disparities in the work–sleep relationship by race/ethnicity and immigration status.

This paper presents a report on child labor in the U.S. that reviewed the positive and negative aspects of work for youth. Working was found to provide young people with valuable lessons about responsibility, punctuality, interacting with people and learning about money management, increasing self-esteem and helping them become independent and skilled. Research findings suggested that working during high school may contribute to increased rates of employment and better wages up to a decade after high school completion. Research concerning the hazards associated with work indicated that, each year, tens of thousands of young people are seen in hospital emergency departments for work-related injuries, hundreds require hospitalization, and more than 70 die of work-related injuries. Long work hours during the school year were associated with problem behaviors. The report points out some important questions: updating regulations on allowable work hours, eliminating less stringent regulation of agricultural work, revising outdated rules against hazardous work, developing and implementing a comprehensive plan for monitoring the injuries, illnesses, and hazards, building workplace health and safety information into school-based programs, and developing criteria for designating "commendable workplaces for youth."

The Covid-19 pandemic has a far-reaching impact on workplace practices with billions of employees worldwide have to alter work patterns. Most employees fully embraced digital technologies, including mobile instant messaging (MIM) apps, to fulfil their work obligations under new normal. However, the work-related MIM use does not translate into good practice. Its use has extended beyond the contracted schedule, worsening work-life balance, job satisfaction and job performance among employees. Despite the gradual easing of lockdown measures, work-related MIM use after work hours will likely continue to an undetermined period as herd immunity is yet to achieve. Therefore, this captures the urgency to understand the mechanism on how work-related MIM use after work hours can be beneficial to employees during the pandemic, which is under-represented. The study elicited data through an online survey from 368 full-time employees in Malaysia. The evidence suggested employees who obtained information sharing gratification, mobile convenience gratification and self-presentation gratification enjoyed better WLB, subsequently formed higher job satisfaction and ultimately enhance their job performance, based on the postulation of the Uses and Gratification theory and Job Demands-Resources theory. Thus, work-related MIM use after work hours should not be interpreted negatively. Both researchers and practitioners should work jointly on how to implement practices concerning healthy yet sustainable MIM use after work hours to be more resilient for future pandemics.

Fatigue is a prevalent cancer-related symptom that is difficult to communicate, define, and treat. To obtain robust descriptions of symptoms, participants were recruited into two online groups that consisted of their dialoguing together in an asynchronous, threaded discussion forum. Participants dialogued for 5 months and completed pre- and post-participation demographic data and symptom ratings. Survey data were described, and change scores were calculated. Excerpts from the dialogue were analyzed using phenomenological techniques. The 28 participants reported low symptoms that did not change significantly from pre- to post-participation. Phenomenological analysis revealed three themes: descriptions of “bone-sucking fatigue,” a search for meaning or answers about the fatigue, and attempted remedies. Online support groups provide a venue for sharing symptom experiences, adding to existing knowledge about symptoms in survivors. These descriptions provide information that will aid in developing patient-centered interventions.
