The work pressure of health personnel has remained a challenge ravaging the efficiency of their indispensable roles in saving other lives and their satisfaction with the management of their own family lives. This study related possible linkages between personality traits and work family conflicts among health personnel. A cross sectional survey design was adopted and 260 (male 116 (44.4%) and female 144 (55.6%)) from six state owned hospitals were randomly selected to participate in this study. They responded to Big Five Inventory (BFI) and Work Family Conflict Scale, both of which are standardized instruments. Four hypotheses were tested and the structural equation model (SEM) with AMOS 26 results revealed a significant positive relationship between work-family conflict and neuroticism. Work-family conflict was negatively linked with openness and agreeableness. Neuroticism (β = 0.320, CR = 5.355, p < 0.001) and openness (β = -0.125, CR = -2.111, p < 0.05) significantly predicted work-family conflict positively and negatively respectively. All the personality traits jointly explained 12% variance in work-family conflict. Age was not found to significantly predict work-family conflict. SPSS 23 results showed a statistically significant reliable difference between the mean scores of the work-family conflict of doctors compared with nurses [t (258) = 2.58, p < .05]. The implications of the findings are discussed in line with family focused hospital management policies.

Personality traits can be categorized using a hierarchical structure in accordance with their correlations. Such hierarchy is derived by collecting more specific personality traits with similar underlying sources under a more general trait. Personality traits affect how people behave and perceive situations in multiple life domains. Prior research demonstrated the predictive value of the personality variables in multiple role occupation; however, most researchers have used the Big-Five personality traits. Therefore, the present study aims to discuss work-family conflict from the perspective of the Big-Two model of personality. The study sample included 250 participants. The study data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed by testing a structural equation model. The results showed that individuals who score high in stability experience greater work-family conflict, whereas individuals scoring high in plasticity experience less work-family conflict.

The Relationship

Background: Nurses are suffering from various stressors which adversely impact their work satisfaction and mental health. Research is scarce on optimism, one of the positive psychological resource which may reduce work-family conflict and improve work satisfaction.Objectives: This study aims to assess work satisfaction among Chinese nurses and to observe and illustrate the relationships among optimism, work-family conflict, and work satisfaction.Methods: This study was designed as a cross-sectional study with stratified sampling. From September 2019 to December 2020, a self-administered WeChat questionnaire was collected from 768 nurses online in China to evaluate the nurses' work satisfaction, optimism, and work-family conflict. Spearman correlation and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were applied to examine associated factors of work satisfaction. A structural equation model was employed to test the mediating effect of work-family conflict in the relationship between optimism and work satisfaction.Results: Optimism were observed to have a positive correlation with work satisfaction while the correlation between work-family conflict and work satisfaction was observed to be negative. Optimism and work-family conflict explained 4.8 and 9.2% of the incremental variances of work satisfaction, respectively. Work-family conflict served as a mediator in the relationship between optimism and work satisfaction.Conclusions: Nurses in China experienced high levels of work satisfaction. Optimism could increase the chance of higher work satisfaction while work-family conflict increased the risk of lower work satisfaction. Psychological interventions and improvement of working conditions are essential to relieve work-family conflicts and enhance work satisfaction.

The shortage and aging of drivers are not problems limited to the truck industry, but are common in the broader commercial motor vehicle (CMV) industry of Korea. This study investigates the relationships between work situation, work–family conflict, depression, and work engagement of taxi, bus, and truck drivers. We extracted 512 CMV drivers from the 5th Korea Working Conditions Survey. A structural equation model (SEM) was used to investigate the impact of a work situation or work–family conflict on depression and work engagement. Results showed that 38.9% of all respondents had symptoms of depression. In the SEM, a poor work situation (standardized path coefficient = 0.250) and work–family conflict (0.117) significantly affected depression. ‘Enough time’ and ‘feeling well’ were influential variables of work situation. ‘Responsibility’ and ‘concentration’ were influential variables of work–family conflict. Additionally, depression affected work engagement (0.524). ‘Vigor’ and ‘dedication’ were influential variables of work engagement. These results show that the relationships between work situation, work–family conflict, depression, and work engagement of CMV drivers are intricately linked.

Office occupants’ have always preferred workplaces that have windows that connects them to the outside. Window access to the outside can influence occupants’ satisfaction with the combination of other workplace features. This study aims to identify the window and view factors relationship in the workplace, to confirm the reliability and validity of the measurement and structural model. Adopting a cross-sectional survey design, primary data from five offices in the Kogi State of Nigeria with 267 respondents were collected by using the convenience sampling method and analysis was performed with the Statistical Package for Social Science version 23 and AMOS 22.0 version as the modelling tool. The study identified eleven vital factors that are interrelated in the relationship between windows and view in the workplace. They are referred to as latent construct namely; Window distance (WDB), Seating arrangement (SAB), Room height (FHB), Office size (OSB), Window position (WPB), Window Sill level (WLC), Window size (SWC), Window type (TWC), View content (CVC), View satisfaction (VSC), and Occupants’ satisfaction (SAT). The result showed a valid model using the Structural Equation Model, and the effect of the current workplace negligence on occupants’. This study improves the existing knowledge on the window and view relationship in the workplace, and provide suggestions for Facility Managers, Architects, and Interior Designers on maintaining a healthy workplace environment

ObjectivesTo determine whether experiences of off-the-job training in domestic (DT) and overseas study (OS) settings are associated with work performance and work–family conflict in physicians.Design, setting and participantsWe conducted a national cross-sectional survey in 77 public hospitals across seven provinces in China between July 2014 and April 2015. Participants were 3182 physicians.ExposureParticipants were categorised into four groups: none, DT only, OS only and DT and OS.Primary outcome measuresWork performance was assessed by work engagement, career attrition and patient-centred care. Work–family conflict was assessed by affecting care for family, feeling guilty towards family and receiving complaints from family.ResultsA total of 25.89% participants had experienced DT only, 8.71% OS only and 8.47% DT and OS. After adjustment for potential confounders, participants who had experiences of DT and OS compared with those with no training were more likely to report positive work performance (pride in work: OR=2.11, 95% CI: 1.43 to 3.10; enjoyment of work: OR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.11 to 2.51; turnover intention: OR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.38 to 0.77; early retirement: OR=0.63, 95% CI: 0.45 to 0.89; and exhaustion: OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.45 to 0.98) and less work–family conflicts (feeling guilty towards family: OR=0.51, 95% CI: 0.35 to 0.74; and complaints from family: OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.47 to 0.91). We found no obvious association between DT/OS experience with patient-centred care.ConclusionsPhysicians with DT and OS experiences are more likely to have better work performance and less work–family conflict than those without such experience. Physicians face increasing pressure to pursue continuing education and experience associated distress. Therefore, hospitals and government policy-makers should promote DT and OS.

The prevalence of work-family conflict (WFC) among nurses was high, especially in the emergency department. WFC has a series of negative influences on emergency nurses, but factors associated with WFC require elucidation. Thus, we conducted a national cross-sectional survey among emergency nurses in China. In this study, we described the current situation of WFC and explored its related factors among emergency nurses in China. We found that the WFC of emergency nurses was severe, and emergency nurses aged 25 to 34, male, married, highly educated, with high professional title and long years of service, perceiving the shortage of nurses, experiencing a high frequency of night shift, tended to have higher WFC. Targeted interventions, such as reasonable work allocation, adequate staffing, and a scientific night shift system should be implemented to alleviate the WFC of emergency nurses.

Abstract Background Research relating to Person-centred practice continues to expand and currently there is a dearth of statistical evidence that tests the validity of an accepted model of person-centred practice. The Person-centred Practice Framework is a leading model of practice and this study aims to examine it statistically.Methods A cross sectional survey design using a standardized tool was used to assess a purposive sample (n=1283, 31.8%) of multi-disciplinary health professionals across both Northern and Southern Ireland. Survey items scores were summed to provide construct scores and included in a structural model to examine the theoretical model of person-centred practice. Full ethical approval was gained. Results The results were drawn from a multi-disciplinary sample, and representing a broad range of clinical settings. The model explains 60.5% of the total variance. Factor loadings on to the second order latent construct, and fit statistics confirm the acceptability of the measurement model. Statistically significant factor loadings were acceptable. A positive and statistically significant relationship was observed between prerequisites and care environment as well as care processes.Conclusions The study provides statistical evidence to support the Person-centred Practice Framework, with a multidisciplinary sample. The findings help confirm the effectiveness of the PCPI-S and an instrument to measure an internationally renowned model of Person-centred practice.
