THE IMPACT OF PERSONALITY AND LIFESTYLE ON INTERACTION WITH NATURE

Architects can influence workplace behaviours and manoeuvre workers’ emotions through aligning design strategies with human moods. Design sustains organisational well-being through strengthening space occupants’ empowerment, leading to better work performances. Issue: Existing research has limited empirical evidence on the impact of personal empowerment (PE) on organisational opportunity (OO). Purpose: This paper aims to verify the statistical predictability of OO based on PE. Approach: Multiple Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression were carried out to assess linear associations and parameters of linear equations to predict OO components based on PE items. Findings: OO components were predictable by the majority of the PE items and ‘monitoring behaviours to suit with situation’ was the strongest predictor of OO.

The living environment in which humans dwell in and are surrounded by, and thus include the immediate built environment, is fertile ground for personal development leading to community advancement.

Little attention was given to the empirical evidence of the impact of PE on CM. Purpose: This paper sets out to confirm the statistical predictability of CM based on PE. Approach: Multiple Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression were executed to assess linear associations and parameters of linear equations to predict CM components based on PE items. Findings: Majority of PE items were significant predictors of CM components and ‘setting goals and striving to meet goals’ was the strongest predictor of CM.

Environmental Behaviours

Sustainability in well-being embodies the interconnecting course of how various systems influence each other. The more strongly individuals subscribe to values beyond their immediate interests, that is, prosocial, collectivistic and biospheric values, the more likely they are to engage in environmental behaviour. Issue: Existing research has limited evidence on specific values of Malaysian’s personality and lifestyle (PL) that have significant impact on attitude and proenvironmental behaviour (AP). Purpose: This paper aims to verify the statistical predictability of AP based on PL. Approach: Multiple Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression were carried out to assess linear associations and parameters of linear equations to predict AP components based on PL items. Findings: AP components were moderately predictable by some of the PL items. Specifically, ‘ Urging media to raise environmental awareness ’ and ‘being mindful about environmental destruction’ were the two strongest predictors of AP.

The Impact

Objective: To assess the impact of on-call duties on veterinarians' job satisfaction, well-being and personal relationships.Design: Cross-sectional survey.Sample: The sample was obtained from Veterinary Information Network (VIN) members in private practice within the United States.Procedures: A link to an anonymous online survey was distributed via an email invitation to all Veterinary Information Network (VIN) members with access from August 15, 2017 to October 21, 2017.Results: A total of 1,945 responses were recorded. The majority of those who reported having on-call duties were female associates. Composite scales were created to assess the impact of on-call shifts on job satisfaction and well-being. Multiple linear regression was conducted and found that gender (p = 0.0311), associate status (p < 0.0001), and age (p = 0.0293) were all significantly associated with on-call related job satisfaction. Additionally, multiple linear regression found that gender (p = 0.0039), associate status (p < 0.0057), and age (p < 0.0001) were all significantly associated with on-call related well-being. On-call shifts were reported by many to have a negative impact on job satisfaction and well-being; this was especially pronounced for female associates. Females had on-call related job satisfaction scores that were, on average, 1.27 points lower than that of males (lower scores equates to lower job satisfaction). Further, females' average on-call related well-being scores were 1.15 points higher than that of males (lower scores equates to higher well-being).Conclusions and Clinical Relevance: This study suggests that on-call shifts have a negative impact on veterinarian job satisfaction, well-being and personal relationships. The negative impact on job satisfaction and well-being is greatest for female associates. Veterinary medicine has been identified as a stressful occupation that can lead to psychological distress. It is therefore important to critically assess current practices that appear to increase stress and reduce emotional well-being. For this reason, it is suggested that veterinary hospitals explore alternative options to traditional on-call shifts.

Purpose-To study the impact of the service quality and trust on customers loyalty of PT.Bank Mandiri,Tbk; Kelapa Gading Barat Branch. To improve the customers loyalty there are several factors that can influence them, such as service quality and trust. Methodology/approach-The research population was all customers PT.Bank Mandiri,Tbk;Kelapa Gading Barat Branch.According to the homogeneous population and based on the Gay and Diehl Theory, the samples taken were 50 people. Variables in this investigations consisted of: a).Independent Variables (exogenous): Service Quality (X1) and Trust (X2). b).The dependent variable (endogenous) Customers Loyalty (Y). Analysis tool being used is multiple linear regression which previously conducted validity and realiability. Findings-The result of investigations that service quality and trust simultaneously have a very strong contribution of 75,5% to the customers loyalty, and partially showed that service quality has significant and positive contribution to the customers loyalty of 64,8%. Partially, the trust variable has significant and positive contribution which amounted to 55,9% to the customers loyalty.

Abstract Background In patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE), endoscopic therapy reduces the risk of progression to invasive esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Data on the impact of endoscopic therapy on patient quality of life (QoL) is limited. Aims We aimed to assess: (1) change in QoL during the course of endoscopic therapy for BE, (2) factors which predict this change, (3) whether achieving complete remission of dysplasia (CRD) or intestinal metaplasia (CRIM) affect the degree of change. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study using a prospectively maintained database of BE patients treated in Calgary, Alberta from 2013–2020 containing data on demographics, BE disease characteristics and therapeutics, QoL, and follow-up. QoL was determined prior to initiation of therapy and after each treatment session using a validated questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were calculated and change in QoL was compared using a Wilcoxon signed ranks test. Backwards multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine predictors of change in QoL. Results Of 130 BE patients, 112 (86.1%) were male and 104 (80%) had dysplastic histology or intramucosal carcinoma on index endoscopy. Mean (SD) age was 65.6 (12.0) years. At time of analysis, 76 patients (58.5%) had completed endoscopic therapy, of whom 69 (90.8%) achieved CRIM; 54 patients (41.5%) were still undergoing treatment. There was significant improvement in all QoL measures during the treatment course except for “depression” (Table 1). Patients with CRIM or CRD had reductions in “sleep difficulty” and “negative impact on life” to a significantly greater degree vs patients not achieving CRIM (Δ sleep -0.45 vs 0.0, P=0.002; Δ negative impact -0.4 vs -0.05, P=0.014) or CRD (Δ sleep -0.40 vs +0.60, P=0.002; Δ negative impact -0.40 vs +0.20, P=0.04). Multiple linear regression revealed older age (B=-0.03, P=0.008) and fewer number of EMR sessions (B=0.254, P=0.008) were correlated with greater improvement in QoL. Conclusions Endoscopic therapy improves QoL in BE patients, especially in those achieving CRIM/CRD. Older age and fewer EMRs are correlated with greater improvement in QoL. These results further reinforce the role of endoscopic therapy as the first line treatment of BE and early EAC. Funding Agencies None
