Compensation Hypothesis

AbstractWhat kind of relationships does exist between a person’s work experience and his attitudes and behavior in the non-work sphere? Do negative work experiences extend into the realm of non-work with the same connotation (extension hypothesis)? Are negative work experiences compensated off work (compensation hypothesis) or are both realms, in principle, unconnected (autonomy hypothesis)? Which dimensions of work experience influence the non-work sphere within the scope of the extension and the compensation hypothesis? - These problems are empirically evaluated, taking membership and activities in voluntary associations as the dependent variables. The data consist of 928 closed interviews with employed males in Northrhine-Westphalia. The dimensions of work experience were measured through statements. These were factoranalysed and converted into indexes. The statistical evaluation is based on partial correlations, taking demographic data into account. - On the whole, the results are in favor of the autonomy hypothesis; in some cases, there are significant but weak relationships in favor of the extension hypothesis; the compensation hypothesis proved to be least fruitful. The results are compared as to content and method with other similar research.

Early work experiences predict future employment for youth with visual impairments, particularly when youth find jobs independently, but research has not supported the efficacy of sponsored work for this population. The most effective work experience programs include additional components such as job search assistance, and job search interventions are effective at improving employment outcomes. Thus, we conducted a quasi-experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of adding job search training to a summer work experience program with 42 youth with visual impairments. Intervention group youth significantly increased job search knowledge and behavior compared with comparison group youth, and both groups increased in job search self-efficacy. Although additional research is needed, this study provides initial evidence of the job search program’s effectiveness.

Attitudes And Behavior

The scholarly literature is observing a slow but steady growth in research exploring the effects of subnational economic inequality on political attitudes and behavior. Germane to this work is the assumption that citizens are aware of the level of inequality in their local residential context. At present, however, the evidence in support of this assumption is mixed. This article attempts to offer the literature improved tests of citizens’ awareness of local inequality by addressing a key limitation in past work—the discordance between the geographic unit underlying measures of the independent and dependent variables. Analyzing two national surveys employing a measure of perceived inequality scaled to the local level, the results suggest that citizens are indeed aware of the level of income inequality in their local environment and that the link between objective and perceived local inequality is most pronounced among lower income citizens.

Main Effects

There have been many attempts to isolate and measure the effects of status inconsistency (S-I) on a variety of dependent variables, including self-evaluation (Goffman, 1957), social isolation (Geschwender, 1967), political attitudes and behavior (Lenski, 1954), political extremism (Rush, 1967), prejudice (Geschwender, 1970), and psychological stress (Hornung, 1977) among numerous others. These efforts have not, for the most part, dealt satisfactorily with the identification problem demonstrated by Blalock (1965, 1966, 1967, 1968), Hodge (1970), and Hope (1975). This problem arises when one tries to separate the effects of two or more status indicators. A model that tends to overestimate S-I effects is used in the present article. Status consistency's main effects are controlled by using only consistent individuals. The model is employed to explain the variance in an array of dependent variables that have been linked to S-I. This is accomplished using two recent NORC General Social Surveys for the United States and comparative data from a Euro-barometer survey drawn from seven Western European countries. Evidence generated by “objective” measures offers little support for significant empirical effects of S-I. The few significant effects that emerge in one sample are not replicated in the others.

In 2020, nearly 300,000 health workers who were infected and died due to Covid-19 around the world including Asia. Several countries in Asia are among the top 10 of the highest healthcare workers deaths in the world. When the rate of infection and hospitalization increases, health workers must be prioritized so that they are not drained by the Covid-19 infection. Health workers are at a high risk level for exposure to the Covid-19 while they hold an important roles of handling the Covid-19 case. This systematic review aims to analyze the risk factors of health workers in hospitals among Asian Countries regarding Covid-19. We searched, from Science Direct, Springerlink and Pubmed identify relevant studies from 2020 on the topic of risk factors of transmission Covid-19 among healthcare workers in hospital of Asian Countries. From these searches, a total of 135 papers were identified of which 22 studies met criteria. The main results were about risk factors for health workers in hospitals during Covid-19 such as personal protective equipment (PPE) availability, exposure to infected patients, excessive workload, IPC training, pre-existing medical conditions and psychological factors. The level of knowledge of health workers about Covid-19 is classified as good, but factors such as job categories, work experience affect their attitudes and behavior so that the factors of anxiety, fatigue and stress are quite varied. It takes considerable efforts and strategies especially from the work place so that the risk factors from health workers can be overcome.

As a social-psychological attribute affecting attitudes and behavior, religiosity should influence television use. We expected religious conservatives and non-conservatives to differ in viewing motives, watching programs containing sex and violence, and TV attitudes. We administered questionnaires to 346 religious conservatives, moderates and liberals. Analyses of covariance and partial correlations suggested that, as compared with non-conservatives, conservatives were less motivated to watch television because of sexual appeal of characters, watched fewer programs with sexual content and felt television was less important in their lives.

This research applies the binding communication model to the sustainable communication strategies implemented in most hotels. The binding communication model links a persuasive message with the implementation of a low-cost commitment to strengthen the link between the attitudes and behavior of those receiving the message. We compared the effectiveness of a classical communication strategy (n = 86) with that of a binding communication strategy (n = 101) to encourage guests to choose sustainable behavior. Our results show that using the binding communication strategy generates significantly more sustainable behavior in guests than using the classical communication strategy. We discuss our results and suggest future avenues of research.

Abstract. The core aim of the present study is to compare the effects of a safety campaign and a behavior modification program on traffic safety. As is the case in community-based health promotion, the present study's approach of the attitude campaign was based on active participation of the group of recipients. One of the reasons why many attitude campaigns conducted previously have failed may be that they have been society-based public health programs. Both the interventions were carried out simultaneously among students aged 18-19 years in two Norwegian high schools (n = 342). At the first high school the intervention was behavior modification, at the second school a community-based attitude campaign was carried out. Baseline and posttest data on attitudes toward traffic safety and self-reported risk behavior were collected. The results showed that there was a significant total effect of the interventions although the effect depended on the type of intervention. There were significant differences in attitude and behavior only in the sample where the attitude campaign was carried out and no significant changes were found in the group of recipients of behavior modification.

Abstract. Most employees participate in workplace meetings, and their experiences in meetings can vary greatly, which can lead to positive or negative effects on both job attitudes and behavior. In this study, we examined the effect that a meeting attendee’s competence in the meeting topic had on their participation in the meeting and their perception of meeting effectiveness. Results indicated those with higher levels of competence in the meeting topic were more likely to participate and through participation found their meeting more effective; this relationship was stronger when employee dissent in the meetings was high. Leaders should ensure that those who are present in a meeting are competent in the topic of the meeting and encourage them to participate.
