This research was to identify the working hours and productivity of labors from Bugis, Toraja, and Makassar in the small industries. In detail, the aims of the research were to know: 1) the influence of individual characteristic, health status, work environment and work ethos (spirit) toward the work productivity of the small industry labors; 2) the differences  of the work productivity among ethnics in the small industries; and 3) the variables which have dominant influence toward the labors’ work productivity in the small industries. The population of this  research were  3135 labors from  garment  and furniture ready-made industries, and the samples were 302 labors. The respondents were workers and employers. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS and AMOS programs and then the results were  combined with the qualitative analysis. The research findings are: 1) the independent variables which influence significantly toward the work productivity of the  small industry workers are work experience,  dependency ratio, health status, weekly wages, work environment and work ethos. While the variables which do not influence the productivity  are workers’ age, sex and length of education. The independent variables which influence dominantly  toward the labor productivity are wages and health status. Good health status may indicate the increase of the productivity. And there are the significant differences of work  productivity among  labors from Bugis, Toraja, and Makassar because of their cultural effects.

In contemporary world human capital is one of the basic elements of development. In a broad understanding it means “the resource of knowledge, skills, health and stamina in the society” (Domański, 1993). Health, besides education, is one of the determinants of its quality. It determines work efficiency, physical and intellectual development, and conditions the average lifespan. It is the resource influencing the functioning of individuals, enterprises - having a connection with their competitiveness - and the whole economy. The impact of health on economic processes may be observed both on macroscale level and on the level of individuals. In the presented research an attempt was made to verify the hypothesis that the state of health is one of the factors determining professionally active people’s incomes. It was assumed, that there is a possibility of the health state impact on decreasing incomes, not only on their complete loss. In the analysis the micro data gathered in the research “Social Diagnosis 2009” were used. The function was estimated basing on Mincerian wage equation with the logarithm of personal income as a dependent variable and respondents characteristics (gender, work experience, practiced profession) as independent variables. Above all, however, variables connected with respondents health were included in the model. The outcome of the research confirms the occurrence of positive interaction between professionally active people’s incomes and the self-assessed state of health. People declaring a bad state of health have incomes by 20% on average lower than people who enjoy good health (assuming that the remaining characteristics of the surveyed person are the same). In case of men, the impact of health state on incomes is slightly greater than in case of women.

Abstract Background The role of public health specialists (PHS) working at schools is continually growing to assure better health behavior and disease prevention in adolescent age. The aim of the study: to evaluate the functionality of health care activities performed by PHS at schools. Methods Anonymous survey of PHS was conducted in April 2018. Participants of the survey represent PHS working at schools in Lithuania. In total 179 forms where distributed, 139 were included into analysis, response rate - 77.7%. The data were analyzed by using χ2 criterion and the statistical significance p. Results PHS stated that past 12 months, bullying was the least important problem for children, but according to the prior plans prevention programs for it were organized most often (40.3%) and sports activity program - least often (21.6%), even though it’s the most relevant children health problem these days. 52.3% of PHS claims that schoolchildren learn the most about keeping good health from them. 44.6% of PHS noted that they aren’t able to do all their responsibilities during working hours, because paperwork takes up most of their time, and too little time remains for communication with the school community. One in three thinks, that they provide services for too many schools, one in seven assumes, that they have excessive requirements. Those who have longer work experience and too much workload were more unsatisfied with work in comparison with those with less work experience and proper workload (p < 0.05). Ability to communicate, knowledge and initiative are marked as the most important features, whilst work experience - as the least important, to pursue required activities of PHS. Conclusions Health improvement activities of PHS working at schools do not fully meet the most important health problems of schoolchildren. PHS with longer experience and higher workload indicated more problems regarding their work compared with those that have less work experience and accurate workload. Key messages The assessment of the opinion of school community’s on the most important children’s health issues should be analyzed prior to preparing health activities plans in municipality level. Workload of public health specialists working at schools should be optimized according to health activities plans.

This research was conducted with the aim to be able to find out the factors that affect the income of agricultural sector workers based on data from Indonesian family life survey wave 5 (IFLS 5) in 2014. Based on existing problems, namely the high absorption of labor in the agricultural sector but ironically the agricultural sector has the lowest level of income is from other sectors. For this reason, the writer conducts research with the title (Analysis of Factors Affecting the Income Level of Indonesian Agricultural Sector Workers). This study took a sample of 1104 respondents from the total population of the agricultural sector as much as 1891. Respondents were filtered based on productive age 15-65 years. With the dependent variable income of workers and the independent variables of education level, age, gender, working hours, marital status and work experience. From the results of the statistical tests conducted shows that 51% of the independent variables affect the independent variables and the rest are influenced by independent variables outside the research model. From the results of multiple linear regression tests indicate that the independent variables significantly influence the variables of education level, age, working hours, and work experience and can explain their influence on the labor sector income variable in Indonesia.

Leaders in the global arena are the one who face the challenges never seen before, while coordinating work and managing relationship between team members coming from varied ethnic groups. Globalization has undoubtedly opened up endless growth opportunities for both, businesses and individuals, by collaborating with each other, but with certain inherent challenges. These challenges are the difference in the cultural background of the team members, which gets predominantly reflected in their behavior at workplace too. The cultural differences exist primarily due to differences in shared values, which form the basis for difference in perception and practices of decision making by an individual (Hofstede, 1980). Juana Bordas has rightly described that any business that fails to adapt their leadership style aligning with multi-cultural approach will find it difficult to thrive in a more colorful world. Leadership style has witnessed various facets of changing work environment that has demanded from leaders to modify their approach to adapt along and be effective and survive in the ever-changing environment of business (Bordas,2007).A cross-culture leader plays a significant role in knitting the diverse workforce into an efficient team; which requires a leader to very well understand the various dimensions of culture. This understanding of the leader enables him to learn about blending of leadership styles to address the challenges of such work environment. This paper is an extended work on 'Leadership in Cross-Cultural Environment – A Comparison of Asian and Non-Asian Managers' (Rahul and Ganesan, 2015). The extended research study has identified that enhanced work experience of cross-culture leaders enables them in effective team management, than the rise in designation, as it results in creation of hierarchical distance between the leaders and subordinates.

Abstract Objectives To identify whether it is feasible to develop a mapping algorithm to predict presenteeism using multiattribute measures of health status. Methods Data were collected using a bespoke online survey in a purposive sample (n = 472) of working individuals with a self-reported diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Survey respondents were recruited using an online panel company (ResearchNow). This study used data captured using two multiattribute measures of health status (EQ5D-5 level; SF6D) and a measure of presenteeism (WPAI, Work Productivity Activity Index). Statistical correlation between the WPAI and the two measures of health status (EQ5D-5 level; SF6D) was assessed using Spearman’s rank correlation. Five regression models were estimated to quantify the relationship between WPAI and predict presenteeism using health status. The models were specified based in index and domain scores and included covariates (age; gender). Estimated and observed presenteeism were compared using tenfold cross-validation and evaluated using Root mean square error (RMSE). Results A strong and negative correlation was found between WPAI and: EQ5D-5 level and WPAI (r = − 0.64); SF6D (r =− 0.60). Two models, using ordinary least squares regression were identified as the best performing models specifying health status using: SF6D domains with age interacted with gender (RMSE = 1.7858); EQ5D-5 Level domains and age interacted with gender (RMSE = 1.7859). Conclusions This study provides indicative evidence that two existing measures of health status (SF6D and EQ5D-5L) have a quantifiable relationship with a measure of presenteeism (WPAI) for an exemplar application of working individuals with RA. A future study should assess the external validity of the proposed mapping algorithms.

Work–family conflicts (WFCs) are common in the healthcare sector and pose significant health risks to healthcare workers. This study examined the effect of WFCs on the health status and nurses’ leaving intentions in Taiwan. A self-administered questionnaire was used to survey 200 female nurses’ experiences of WFC from a regional hospital. Data on psychosocial work conditions, including work shifts, job control, psychological job demands, and workplace justice, were collected. Health conditions were measured using the Beck Depression Inventory-II and self-rated health. Leaving intentions were measured using a self-developed questionnaire. The participants’ average work experience was 6.79 (Standard Deviation (SD) = 5.26) years, their highest educational level was university, and work shifts were mostly night and rotating shifts. Approximately 75.5% of nurses perceived high levels of WFCs. Leaving intentions were correlated with WFCs (r = 0.350, p < 0.01) and psychological work demands (r = 0.377, p < 0.01). After adjusting for age, educational level, and work characteristics, high levels of WFCs were associated with poor self-rated health, and depression, but not associated with high leaving intentions. Nurses’ experiences of high levels of WFCs greatly affected their health status.
