Abstract Background: The demographic situation with an increasing number of elderly citizens will postpone the retirement age in most countries. However, retirement is a socially accepted way to withdraw from a demanding working life.Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the main factors associated to managers’ beliefs their employees want to or can work until 65 years of age or beyond, and measures increasing participation in an extended working life.Methods: The baseline survey in a follow up study including 249 managers in the municipality sector in Sweden. By logistic regression we investigated the associations between two outcome measures: i) whether employees wanted to work, and ii) whether employees could work until 65 years of age or beyond, and statements within nine areas related to a sustainable working life as well as measure statements for an extend working life.Results : Of the mangers 79% stated their employees ‘can’ and 58% that their employees ‘want to’ work until 65 years of age or beyond. The employees’ health, physical work environment, skills and competence were statistically significant to the mangers’ belief that their employees could not work until 65 years of age or beyond. Lack of support in the social work environment and lack of possibilities to arrange relocations were the most important factors to managers’ beliefs whether employees would not want to work until age 65 or beyond.Conclusion: To offer the employee other tasks in the workplace if needed was a measure statistically significant associated to increase the managers’ belief whether their employees both could and wanted to go on and work until 65 years of age and beyond. Additionally, the managers’ belief measures to decreased physical and mental strains and rotation between different tasks to reduce work load and wear would increase whether their employees can work, and reduction of pace and working hours would increase whether employees want to work in an extended working life past 65 years of age. The managers’ perspective on how their employees ‘can’ and ‘want’ to work will hopefully contribute to the understanding of the extended working life process.

ObjectivesPrevious studies have shown conflicting results concerning the association between heavy physical work load and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between long-term exposure to heavy physical work load in middle age and risk of CHD among Swedish men during almost 20 years of follow-up.MethodsThe study is based on a cohort of around 40 000 Swedish males, born 1949–51, with census information on occupation in 1985 and 1990 (at ages 34–41). Aspects of physical workload was estimated from job exposure matrices based on questions concerning heavy lifting, strenuous work postures, and physically strenuous work from the Swedish Work Environment Surveys 1989–97. Mean values for each physical exposure variable were assigned to over 300 occupational titles from the censuses conducted in 1985 and 1990. Only those 29 530 subjects who were in the same quintile of exposure both years were included in the analyses. Information on smoking behavior and body mass index (BMI) was collected at compulsory conscription for military training in 1969/70 (at 18–20 years of age), and follow up data on CHD (1457 cases) between the years 1991–2009.ResultsAn increased relative risk of CHD were found among workers in the quintiles with medium low (HR=1.36 CI95%=1.14–1.62), medium (HR=1.46 CI95%=1.23–1.74), medium-high (HR=1.62 CI95%=1.36–1.91), and high (HR=1.45 CI95%=1.22–1.71) exposure to heavy lifting at work compared with those in the quintile with low exposure to heavy lifting. After adjustment for smoking and BMI the risk estimates were somewhat lower but still significantly increased. Risk estimates of the same magnitude were seen for a number of other aspects of the physical work environment.ConclusionThere was an association between long-term exposure from heavy physical work load and CHD even after adjustement for smoking and BMI.

Work Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the composite influence of perceived work relationship, work load and physical work environment on the job satisfaction of librarians in South-West, Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted a descriptive survey design. A multi-stage sampling technique was used for this study. The instrument used for data collection was a self-structured questionnaire, and a total of 102 academic librarians responded to the questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Findings The results indicate that there is a significant linear relationship among work relationship, workload, work environment and job satisfaction. Among the variables examined, workload is not a statistically significant predictor of the job satisfaction of librarians, but work relationship and work environment have a statistically significant relative effect on the job satisfaction of librarians. Research limitations/implications Further studies should evaluate the causal link between work relationships, work load and work environment on job satisfaction using randomized control. Practical implications The important result in this study is that there is a significant linear relationship among work relationship, workload, work environment and job satisfaction; therefore, if these factors are adequately taken care of, there will be increased employee motivation, reduced staff turnover and increased job satisfaction among librarians in Nigerian universities. The university library management could take advantage of workshops and seminars on how to build and maintain work relationship and work environment (hygiene factors) to improve employees’ job satisfaction. The seminars and workshop will increase the knowledge of university library management on how to develop coherent friendly co-workers policy practices and workload policy practices to enhance the job satisfaction of librarians in public universities in Nigeria. Librarians should be assigned tasks that are moderately demanding because both overload and under load could lead to job dissatisfaction. Regarding research, this study offered a basis for a continuing debate on work relationship, organizational relationships, work environment, work load and job satisfaction. Originality/value Despite the growing global concern for workers well-being in organizations, not much attention has been given to the influence of workplace relationship, work load and work environment on the job satisfaction of librarians in Nigeria. Thus, the results of this research contribute to the body of knowledge regarding job satisfaction among librarians and provide significant evidence on the influence of work relationship, work load and work environment on the job satisfaction of librarians.

Performance Audit

AbstrackThe purpose of this research is to reveal the obstacles in the completion of the follow-up of audit the BPK of the performance audit of APIP Inspectorate of East Barito Regency. This research uses qualitative methods with a case study approach which was carried out at the Inspectorate of Barito Timur, Central Kalimantan from September to December 2018. The result of the analysis reveal that the obstacles in completing this follow-up are caused by several internal aspects, including: 1) human resources, the lack of ASN, the mismatch of the educational background of the ASN personnel, and the lack of teamwork 2) leadership, the leader has not yet prepared a work plan for completion of  the follow-up to the BPK audit results on performance audit of  APIP activities, formed a special team, coordinates, controls, never holding   a special meeting to  discuss  BPK findings on the completion of   the BPK audit follow - up on the  performance audit APIP, there is no formation of a special team that  handle the completion of the follow-up results of the BPK audit on the performance audit of APIP, there is no instruction from the leadership to complete the follow-up of the BPK audit results on the APIP performance audit. 3) Work environment, non-physical work environment,  a work culture that has not been optimal , encourages completion of follow-up. Meanwhile, the physical work environment, such as the availability of facilities and facilities  is still limited.Research on these three aspects is very useful to understand how to optimize the acceleration of the completion of the follow-up of the inspection results, especially  in the  Inspectorate  of East Barito Regency APIP

ObjectiveTo determine the prospective association between retrospectively assessed physical work environment during working life and prospectively assessed sickness absence and labour market exit among older workers.MethodsUsing Cox regression analyses we estimated the 4-year to 6-year prospective risk of register-based long-term sickness absence (LTSA), disability pension, early retirement and unemployment from exposure to different physical work environmental factors during working life among 5076 older workers (age 49–63 at baseline) from the Copenhagen Aging and Midlife Biobank cohort.ResultsVery hard physical work throughout working life was a risk factor for LTSA (HR 1.66,95% CI 1.32 to 2.07), disability pension (HR 2.21,95% CI 1.04 to 4.72) and early retirement (HR 1.57,95% CI 1.13 to 2.17). Both short-term (<10 years) and long-term (≥20 years) exposures to lifting or carrying of heavy burdens predicted the risk of LTSA (HRs 1.49–1.56) and disability pension (HRs 2.26–3.29). In contrast, exposure to dust was associated with LTSA and disability pension only following 20 or more exposure years.ConclusionsRetrospectively assessed hard physical work during working life and exposure to several factors in the physical work environment, especially heavy lifting, were important for labour market exit and sickness absence. This study underscores the importance of reducing physical work exposures throughout the working life course for preventing sickness absence and premature exit from the labour market.

This study aims to determine and clarify the effect of work environment and work motivation for workload and its implementation on employee performance. Respondents 67 employees (entire population). Data collection is done through interviews and questionnaires. Data were analyzed using path analysis (SmartPls 3.0 software) and correlation matrix between dimensions (SmartPls 3.0 software). The results showed that: (1) Work Environment and Motivation both partially and simultaneously affect Employee Performance; (2) Work environment, motivation and workload both partially and simultaneously affect employee performance; (3) Workload mediates the work environment and motivation on performance. Based on the analysis of the correlation matrix between dimensions, to improve the Work Environment, which has a positive correlation with Workload, it is recommended to maintain and improve the dimensions of Non-Physical Work Environment and also for employee performance also to improve the Physical Environment dimension. To increase motivation, which has a positive correlation with workload, it is recommended to maintain and improve hygiene. And for employee performance that is increasing the dimensions of intrinsic appreciation. To increase the workload that has a positive correlation with employee performance it is advisable to maintain and improve the dimensions of frustration
