Seit vielen Jahrzehnten sind vor allem in angloamerikanischen und skandinavischen Ländern spezialisierte Pflegekräfte in Schulen tätig, die als sogenannte «School (Health) Nurses» die Kinder und Jugendlichen in allen gesundheitlichen Angelegenheiten betreuen. Diese Übersichtsarbeit widmet sich der Frage, welche konkreten Aufgaben und Rollen School Nurses im internationalen Kontext übernehmen und welche davon auch in Deutschland von entsprechend qualifizierten Pflegefachkräften ausgeführt werden könnten. Mithilfe einer systematischen Literaturrecherche wurden 34 Publikationen gefunden, die allgemeine Rollen- und Aufgabenbeschreibungen von School Nurses fokussieren. Insgesamt ließen sich elf zentrale Aufgabenbereiche identifizieren. Diese umfassen unter anderem die direkte pflegerische Versorgung bei Verletzungen, Notfällen, akuten oder chronischen Erkrankungen, präventive und gesundheitsförderliche Tätigkeiten, Information, Schulung und Beratung, die Erhebung gesundheitsbezogener Probleme und Bedarfe sowie die Entwicklung und Durchführung entsprechender Angebote und die Bereiche Kommunikation, Kooperation und Vermittlung. Mit Blick auf die positiven internationalen Erfahrungen erscheint die Einführung von School Nurses in Deutschland als vielversprechender Ansatz zur Förderung von Gesundheits- und Unterstützung von Bildungszielen. Das dazu benötigte Kompetenzprofil erfordert eine Zusatzqualifikation «Schulgesundheitspflege», die - basierend auf vorhandenen internationalen Curricula - auf Hochschulniveau angesiedelt sein sollte.

Abstract. Women have a minority position within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and, consequently, are likely to face more adversities at work. This diary study takes a look at a facilitating factor for women’s research performance within academia: daily work engagement. We examined the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between two behaviors (i.e., daily networking and time control) and daily work engagement, as well as its effect on the relationship between daily work engagement and performance measures (i.e., number of publications). Results suggest that daily networking and time control cultivate men’s work engagement, but daily work engagement is beneficial for the number of publications of women. The findings highlight the importance of work engagement in facilitating the performance of women in minority positions.

Objective - Individual work performance (IWP) has been researched time and time again in the past few decades. Interestingly enough, existing research on IWP focuses mainly on the area of work production and lacks an in-depth holistic understanding of IWP and other interrelated work behaviours. In this study, IWP is explored in the context of a multidimensional construct that includes the dimensions of task, contextual, and counterproductive behaviours. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether the three variables of work engagement (WE), psychological empowerment (PE), and subjective well-being (SWB) mediate and correlate with the relationship between perceived organisational support (POS) and IWP. Methodology/Technique - 780 employees from 4 organisations in Jakarta were selected to participate in this study. The respondents were tasked with responding to five questionnaires including (1) IWP of Koopmans, (2) POS of Eisenberger, (3) SWB of Diener, (4) WE of Baker and Schaufeli, (5) PE of Spreitzer. The data was analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings - The results show that the proposed structural model aligns with the empirical data [X2 (0, N = 780) = 0, p = 1.000; RMSEA=.000]. This research concludes that the relationship between POS and IWP is best mediated by either WE, PE or SWB. Among the three mediators, WE plays the greatest role in mediating the relationship between POS and IWP. Novelty - These findings expand on previous research on the weak relationship between POS and IWP. Type of Paper - Empirical. Keywords: Individual Work Performance; Perceived Organizational Support; Psychological Empowerment; Subjective Well-being; Work Engagement. JEL Classification: L20, L25, L29.

In a rapidly changing business environment, the entrepreneurship of top management is essential for the survival and sustainable development of the enterprise. Building on the view of the strategic choice theory, this study identifies the relationship between entrepreneurship, market-oriented culture, and work engagement. Data were collected from 493 employees regularly working in small and medium-sized firms in South Korea. The results of this study indicate: (1) entrepreneurship (consisting of innovation, proactiveness, and risk-taking) has a significant positive influence on market-oriented culture, (2) entrepreneurship positively affects work engagement, (3) market-oriented culture has a significant positive effect on work engagement, (4) the effects of innovation and proactiveness on work engagement are significant, controlling for market-oriented culture, showing the partial mediating effect of market-oriented culture on work engagement, and (5) CEO trust moderates the relationship between risk-taking and work engagement. Theoretical and practical implications are suggested.

Work engagement is not only a "nice-to-have" but has been shown to be linked to various positive outcomes of work, including its proven financial and behavioural gains. The concern regarding employee engagement is increasing, and organizations of the 21st century are looking for every possible way to develop the culture of employee engagement deliberately. In this context, this research introduces employee engagement as a viable method to encourage organizational productivity and examines how perceptions of specific human resource (HR) practices and organizational identification relate to experiences of employee's work engagement. The study data was collected using standard psychometric tools from 75 mid-level managers working in various organizations. Statistical analysis was performed to answer research questions. The results conveyed the significance of applying encouraging human resource practices and demonstrated the positive effect of organization-al identification (OID) on work engagement. HR practices and OID were found instrumental in positively predicting the significant amount of work engagement. By discovering the relationship between HR practices (conditions that organizations can influence easily), organizational identification, and employee engagement, this study relates to the realistic implementation of measures to improve employee engagement and especially emphasises them. As most companies are searching for ways to promote employee engagement, the latest re-search results are of practical importance to HR executives.
