Plant Relocation

Pre‐relocation measures as well as measures collected subsequent to it were used to predict employees’ post‐relocation adaptation in a case where an entire plant relocated its premises. The distance between the old and the new site did not require home relocation, with the result that the change was deemed less of a “family issue” than an essentially work and organizational change. The sample consisted of 176 employees, for whom matched before and after questionnaires were available. Pre‐relocation measures included demographics, justification of management’s decision to relocate, and positive and negative emotional reactions to the move. In addition, measures of perceived changes were taken after the move. The three post‐relocation adaptation measures were work satisfaction, loyalty to the organization, and relocation satisfaction. Findings are discussed in the light of previous findings, although most of that research dealt with individual as opposed to plant relocation, and of very few studies dealing with post‐relocation variables.

The Impact

There is a need to obtain scientifically grounded data on how young professionals feel about themselves, take their first steps in the customs bodies, how the “system” evaluates in practice the level of graduates’ preparedness, how their interpersonal relations develop while they serve in the customs bodies. An organized and effectively functioning system of adaptation of customs body officials and employees is very important both for a young specialist and for an organization. Such a system decreases the rate of staff turnover, reduces costs, saves the time of the manager and the employees, develops a positive attitude to work, satisfaction with working conditions, and also determines the effectiveness of the follow-up actions of the young professional in the workplace. Professional adaptation in the customs bodies has a number of features due to the specifics of the customs service. The article assesses the impact of satisfaction with working conditions and opportunities in the customs bodies on the adaptation of customs bodies’ officials and employees to the customs service. The article aims to analyze factors affecting satisfaction with working conditions and opportunities, and to develop recommendations for improving the adaptation of young specialists to the customs service using the example of Vladivostok Branch of the Russian Customs Academy graduates working in the customs bodies. The authors identify the approaches to professional adaptation to the customs service; they differ by the object of analysis. A correlation analysis of the graduates’ survey shows a direct positive relationship of individual indicators of external and internal factors. A model assessing work satisfaction and the level of adaptation to the professional requirements has been designed. Recommendations have been developed to improve a young specialist’s professional adaptation to the customs service. The improvement of adaptation management starts from the enrollment campaign, goes through the entire learning process at the educational organization, and ends in the customs bodies. For the officials and employees of the customs bodies, the improvement includes various measures, including the development and implementation of a scientifically based adaptation program.

Casual Relationship

Introduction: There is a growing recognition for workplace happiness worldwide. If employees work in an unfavorable atmosphere, this may lead to boredom, discouragement and disengagement as well as alienation from colleagues; thereby becoming unhealthy for both employees and organisations. Aim: To develop a causal relationship model of factors affecting workplace happiness among head nurses and test the model with empirical data collected with the chosen research sample. Materials and Methods: This research uses the causal relationship research method. A five point-Likert scale questionnaire about factors affecting workplace happiness was administered to 196 head nurses at secondary hospitals, northern Thailand. It included six latent variables: 1) leader characteristics; 2) work satisfaction; 3) awareness of the professional values; 4) organisational climate; 5) social support; and 6) workplace happiness. Analysis instruments were descriptive statistics i.e., frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, Pearson product moment correlation, and linear structural relationship model. Results: Based on the casual relationship model, the following factors were identified as influencing workplace happiness among the head nurses: social support, work satisfaction, organisational climate, leader characteristics and awareness of the professional values, respectively. After adjustment as alternative model, the causal relationship model of workplace happiness fit the empirical data, with Chi-square (χ2)= 238.098, df=205, Comparative Fit Index (CFI)=0.99, Root Mean Squares Error of Approximation (RMSEA)=0.02, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI)=0.98, Standardised Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR)=0.04. This means that the variables in the model can explain the variance of workplace happiness by 46.6%. Conclusion: Drawn from the casual relationship model of factors influencing happiness at work among the head nurses, the factors with the most influencing overall impact on happiness at work are: work satisfaction, organisational climate, social support, and leadership characteristics.

The study investigates how to work satisfaction influences workers' life satisfaction with job attribute assessment. Two hundred ninety-five operational level employees from 03 insurance companies in Sri Lanka were selected through Simple Random Sampling. The structural equation modeling approach (SEM) was applied to test the hypotheses. It has been discovered that employees' work satisfaction depends on work hazards; job characteristics and job attribute assessment, while job attributes assessment affected work benefits and cost, work hazards and job characteristics. The paper's findings revealed a strong positive relationship between work satisfaction and life satisfaction. It can be concluded that even though labor turnover is high among insurance workers, their life satisfaction depends on work satisfaction. These results denote that managers should specifically attempt to target enhancing work satisfaction by eliminating work hazards and setting job tasks along with building a good rapport with supervisor and employee, according to employee’s job position. The study recommends that policymakers identify workers' felt needs and satisfy those needs for a contented workforce to minimize labor turnover.

Comprehensive Study

In our initial publication on this subject1) we reported results demonstrating that contrast is the most important factor in producing the high image quality required for reliable image analysis. We also listed the factors which enhance contrast in order of the experimentally determined magnitude of their effect. The two most powerful factors affecting image contrast attainable with sheet film are beam intensity and KV. At that time we had only qualitative evidence for the ranking of enhancing factors. Later we carried out the densitometric measurements which led to the results outlined below.Meaningful evaluations of the cause-effect relationships among the considerable number of variables in preparing EM negatives depend on doing things in a systematic way, varying only one parameter at a time. Unless otherwise noted, we adhered to the following procedure evolved during our comprehensive study:Philips EM-300; 30μ objective aperature; magnification 7000- 12000X, exposure time 1 second, anti-contamination device operating.
