The Impact

Burnout syndrome represents one of the most serious disorders in contemporary work environment. One of the professions that did not receive much attention in the scientific research of burnout is that of recruiters, even though literature shows that recruiters face work-related stress on a daily basis, which can often lead to burnout among this group of employees. The aim of this paper is to attempt to identify whether and to what extent burnout is present among recruiters in Serbia (both in-house recruiters and those employed in recruiting companies and agencies) and to reveal the determinants which influence the possibility of burnout occurrence among this group of workers. The most frequently examined variables affecting burnout in other professions were analyzed: age, work experience, marital status, strict deadlines and work pressure. Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was used to measure the level of burnout. The results obtained by a quantitative research using questionnaires conducted among 100 recruiters in Serbia have shown that recruiters in Serbia face burnout to an extent (overall burnout, individual, work-related and client-related burnout), while all examined variables (except employee’s age) were found to have statistically significant impact on burnout presence among recruiters. What adds value to this paper is the fact that the amount of burnout studies conducted in Serbia in general is scarce and mostly focused on helping professions. The research has a practical purpose to help companies and human resource departments create appropriate burnout prevention training programmes targeted for recruiters.

Positive Work

Background/Aims Doctors in non-consultant, non-training (NCNT) trust grade posts are an important part of the medical workforce across the UK, but their needs are often neglected. It is important to explore their work-related experience to support their welfare. This study aimed to explore the issues that were most important to the positive work experience of this group of doctors. Method Work-related themes were identified through meetings with NCNT trust grade doctors. A questionnaire was then compiled asking such doctors to rate statements based on these themes using a 5-point Likert scale. Correlations between scores on these statements and the scores on the key statement ‘I will recommend coming to this hospital for training to my friends’ were explored. Results The questionnaire was completed by 25 doctors. Statements reflecting organisational culture, such as ‘I never felt bullied’ (r=0.698) or ‘I feel well supported in my work’ (r=0.796) demonstrated strong correlations with whether respondents would recommend the trust to a friend, while process-based statements, such as ‘I have been allocated a clinical supervisor’ (r=0.12), did not. Conclusions Focusing on the needs and opinions of NCNT trust grade doctors is important to support recruitment and retention. When evaluating the impact of processes on job satisfaction for this group, it may be more useful to focus on the outcomes of the processes and the general organisational culture, rather than simply checking off whether the processes exist.

Positive Effect

Stress is related with imperatives and requests. The previous keeps a person from doing what the person in question wants. The last alludes to the loss of something wanted. With respect to fulfillment, it might be expressed that individuals who experience pressure secure positions disappointing. Low-to-direct pressure has positive effect on execution. It prompts better execution. While high pressure prompts lower execution. The impact of weight on fulfillment is negative consistently. [1],[ 3],[5]

The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand more precisely the culture and interpersonal behaviours associated with stress. Design/methodology/approach The research was conducted using a qualitative approach through an ethnographic methodology in relation to three companies. The greater part of the data collection period was structured into observations that ranged between 2 and 4 hr per day, 1–3 days per week, for a period of six months. A total of ten sites were explored; and on each site, the observations involved activities by 5–20 people. Findings The results showed the pivotal importance of interpersonal relationships in coping with the uncertainty of working conditions, the coordination of teamwork and managing responsibilities and power interactions. It was found that the impact of stress is multifaceted, affecting the physical status, interpersonal relationships, work performance and emotional well-being of construction workers. The workers who were studied emphasised five sources of support that help moderate work-related stress: additional tools such as communication systems and software, a facilitated access to professional help (e.g. psychological services), organisational changes in leadership, provision of resources for the well-being of personnel (e.g. job training) and better teamwork. Practical implications The study underlines the importance of dedicated services for stress management and specific training-related abilities devoted to reinforcing positive person–organisation dynamics. In particular, the abilities should relate to managing the impact of stress in terms of physique, interpersonal relationships, work performance and emotional well-being. Originality/value This is one of the first studies to adopt a psychological perspective for understanding construction scenarios and phenomena and was conducted by a qualified psychologist.

The Impact

Background: Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are chronic skin diseases that greatly affect the quality of life. Both diseases can be triggered or exacerbated by stress. Objective: We aimed to differentiate personality traits between patients with chronic skin conditions and people treated for stress in a pilot study. Methods: Patients participating voluntarily in educational programs in Belgium and Switzerland were recruited to complete personality trait questionnaires, including the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ). A comparison was made with patients treated for work-related stress. Results: A total of 48 and 91 patients suffering from skin diseases and work-related stress, respectively, were included in the study. Based on the questionnaires, we found that dermatology patients were less persistent and impulsive than those with work-related stress. Dermatology patients also exhibited more rigidness and less focus on performance. Finally, patients with work-related stress seem more likely to change in response to health-promoting programs than patients with chronic dermatoses. Conclusion: Patients with chronic skin diseases may perceive and cope with stress differently in comparison to patients with work-related stress due to inherent personality traits. Therefore, stress coping mechanisms may differ among different diseases. More research is needed into the design of educational interventions and the impact of personality traits in disease-specific groups.

‘Mad doctors’ specialized in treating the insane, but what about the doctors whose own mental health was jeopardized? Oppenheim found that doctors who attended the mad were presumed to be particularly vulnerable, but there has been no research investigating this claim, nor identifying practitioners’ experiences as patients. This article analyses medical admissions to asylums via both case notes and other sources such as newspaper reports, revealing the responses of medical superintendents to their former colleagues and, in some cases, the judgements of practitioners on their institutional surroundings. It indicates the impact of work-related stress, as medicine became self-consciously professional, and the evolution of public reactions to doctors who could not maintain an appropriately sane identity.

The Impact

This study determined the impact and influence of published articles on the field of occupational stress. A transdisciplinary approach was used to identify the 50 work-related stress articles with the most lifetime citations and the 50 work-related stress articles with the highest annual citation rates. Studies were categorized based on their primary focus: (a) etiology, (b) predictor of outcome for which occupational stress is the outcome or predictor of outcome for which occupational stress is an independent variable, (c) management/intervention, (d) theory/model/framework, or (e) methodologies. The majority of studies with the highest number of lifetime citations as well as the highest annual citation rates used stress as a predictor or outcome of another factor. The proportion of studies that were categorized by etiology, intervention/management, theory/model/framework, or methodologies was relatively low for both lifetime and annual citations.

Despite a recent resurgence in the study of organizational culture, insufficient attention has been paid to the impact of the types of organizational culture on employee well-being and productivity in Canadian settings. This study investigated which types of organizational culture are most closely related to employee levels of work-related stress, enjoyment of work and self-perceived productivity. A secondary research interest was to identify the dominant culture type at the studied university in northern Canada. A total of 193 staff members from various departments (e.g., academic services, facilities, student life) completed an online survey containing questions on organizational culture, stress, enjoyment of work and productivity. Three intriguing findings were generated from the data: (1) All four types of organizational culture – clan, hierarchy, adhocracy, market – were identified at the institution; (2) the hierarchy culture was most prevalent, followed by the adhocracy culture, the market culture and then the clan culture; and (3) the type of organizational culture was significantly related to stress, enjoyment of work and productivity. Employees working in a clan culture reported the lowest levels of stress, and highest levels of enjoyment and productivity, followed by those in the adhocracy and hierarchy cultures, lastly the market culture. Important implications include: (1) Organizational leaders need to take into account the role organizational culture plays in employee well-being and workplace functioning, and (2) Organizational leaders should implement strategies to create a workplace culture that promotes employee well-being and productivity.

BACKGROUND Globally, radiodiagnosis is considered as one of the most sought after specialty in the field of medicine, based on the perceived notion that it is a high income, risk-averse, white-collared job. Radiologists are touted as being one of the highest paid specialists with defined work-hours; however, the ground reality appears to be in contradiction, particularly in the Indian context. The purpose of this study was to objectively assess the current day situation amongst the Indian radiologists. This gender-neutral survey not only dispels many of the prevailing assumptions but also brings to clear light the issues that assail the radiologist on a day to day basis. METHODS A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed with Google survey forms and collected data was obtained from 370 radiologists regarding various parameters, such as the workplace, years of experience, work hours per day, monthly income, peer, and work-related pressures, and their overall perceived happiness quotient. Issues concerning threats to radiology, the need for super or subspecialty training were also addressed. RESULTS Most of the young radiologists opted to work in either diagnostic centers or corporate hospitals as salary drawn was considerably higher than their counterparts in medical colleges. Nearly half the radiologists working at medical colleges augmented their income by working in diagnostic centers. Nearly 2/3rds of the young radiologists work for an average of 10 hours per day, six days a week with a take home salary of approximately 1 – 2 lakhs per month. Only 5 % of the radiologists stated that they were most happy with their work environment, nearly 57 % of them had some kind of occupational hazard and this was directly related to the years of work. Burn out predominated amongst the upcoming radiologists with less than 5 years of work experience and this was found to be compounded by work hours, work pressure and inadequate compensation. CONCLUSIONS Today, young radiologist is caught in a whirlpool of change that has not only threatened the “concept of a settled, satisfied, specialist”, furtherance to this, commoditization of radiology has led to increase in work hours, work pressure, leading to dissatisfaction and early burn out.
