Introduction. Currently, the main influence of adverse working conditions is manifested not only by the level of occupational morbidity and injuries but by the general state of health of employed persons. Among the most significant non-occupational exposure is tobacco smoking. The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the influence of the factor “harmful working conditions” (Fwc) and the factor “Smoking” (Fsmo) on the prevalence and rate of development of the most frequently diagnosed chronic diseases in industrial workers. Material and methods. Working conditions, medical examination data and smoking status of 2810 Apatite-nepheline and copper-Nickel miners were studied (cross section study). Population risk (PR) and its annual increase (GPR) were studied in six classes of diseases: circulatory system (CS), digestive system (DS), genitourinary system (GUS), respiratory system (RS), musculoskeletal system (MSS), skin and subcutaneous tissue (SST), nervous system (NS). Morbidity factors were characterized by the duration of their exposure: harmful working conditions - work experience not related to age and duration of smoking; non - professional factors - age of employees not related to work experience and smoking; smoking-its duration not related to age and work experience. Results. Population rates among non-smokers and smokers, in groups with the same average age and work experience, did not differ statistically, except for CS, the frequency of which is lower in smokers. It can be assumed that these data refer to “paradoxical cases” in which the Fwc effect is masked by employee turnover. In contrast to extensive indices of PR, GPR indices of the majority of classes of diseases-accurately reveal negative influence of smoking on a state of health of miners. Conclusion. 1. For quantitative comparison of negative effects on the health of workers of Fwc and Fsmo it is necessary to use indices PR of dynamics in certain experience and age groups. 2. The impact of the Fwc on the GPR is more pronounced than Fsmo for MSS, RS, NS. The influence of Fsmo exceeds a Fwc for SST, CS and DS. 3. An annual gain in the risk of chronic diseases (except MSS), not differentiated by their classes, s in smokers is by 1.6 times more than in non-smokers.

AbstractSeveral research works in the related international literature on sociology and health sciences deal with the state of health in one selected population. In these studies, the chosen sample is often connected with special jobs, especially with healthcare professionals and their working conditions. These studies predominantly examine the self-rated subjective health status using questionnaires. There are others that assess the state of health based not only on self-rated subjective indicators, but also using objective data gained by measuring. Considering the international experiences, we chose a special population in our research – healthcare professionals working in an institute for chronically ill psychiatric patients. Our choice was influenced by the fact that we wanted to include their unique working conditions when exploring and assessing their health status. Moreover, our approach was to assess the objective state of health alongside the subjective factors, as our hypothesis was that the majority of the indicators presumably coincided. The data were collected with the help of three questionnaires and some indicators of the objective health statuses were measured. The findings were processed using the SPSS 17.0 mathematical-statistical software package. Following the descriptive statistics, we applied hierarchic cluster-analysis based on results of the WHOQOLD-BREF26 life-quality questionnaire, the WHO WBI-5 Well Being Index, and on the body composition analysis. The results show the objective and subjective health status of population and the factors that influenced it; the working conditions and the interpersonal contacts in the workplace. The conclusion was that in the examined population the subjective and objective health status doesn’t coincide.

Broad Understanding

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: Working conditions at metallurgical enterprises are characterized by the impact of a complex of harmful production factors that do not correspond to the normalized levels, which causes the risk of developing professional and professionally conditioned pathology. Trained workers who are exposed for a long time to industrial noise that exceeds the permissible values by 10 dB or more are considered as a risk group for the development of aural (sensorineural hearing loss, SHT) and extraaural (high blood pressure, HBP) pathology. Hearing loss is an important medical and social problem, as it turns into a cognitive dissonance and a violation of verbal communication for the employee. Working conditions at one of the modern metallurgical plants were evaluated according to the data of sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions. The study of the prevalence of SHT and HBP was carried out based on the materials of a medical examination and a questionnaire survey of workers (n=73, male, aged 36-75 years (57.32±0.89), with work experience of 8-58 years (34.29±1.16)). To assess the joint influence of age and seniority, an original scoring system was used, which allowed us to distinguish 3 observation groups. The severity of SHT and HBP was also assessed in points. The study showed a significant increase in the prevalence and severity of hearing loss and HBP with an increase in the duration of exposure and the age of employees. The presence of a close relationship between the analyzed pathology and working conditions is illustrated by the value of the odds ratio in groups 1-3 (ORSHT = 3.75-4.71; ORHBP = 2.0-5.0). Thus, the studied professional group of trained qualified metallurgists needs to develop health-improving measures to preserve labor longevity.

Integral Indicator

Theoretical and methodical aspects of rating performance appraisal of scientific and pedagogical workers of educational institutions are object of research. The purpose of the article is to study the factors of influence and provide recommendations for improving the system of management of professional development of personnel of educational institutions. The results are obtained through the use of methods: expert method is used to identify the impact of qualitative and quantitative indicators on the efficiency of use of labor resources; economic and mathematical method is performed to determine the integral indicator of the assessment of the efficiency of the use of labor resources; abstract-logical method is executed for theoretical gen-eralization and formulation of conclusions. It has been revealed that the lack of a sound methodological approach to employee rating and appropriate means of motivation for professional development can lead to the loss of existing intellectual potential and competitive positions of educational institutions in the market of educational services in general. It has been found that in order to introduce an effective model of personnel management in educational institutions, it is very important to provide the main criteria for evaluating its effectiveness at the stage of formation. It was found that special attention should be paid to development of substantiated scientific and methodological approaches to the assessment of pro-fessional qualifications level of employees in the testing group and in the dynamics, determining the limit load and development model of a motivation model for professional development. When assessing the level of professional qualification of teaching staff, it is proposed to take into account not only their own property to scientific and pedagogical industry, but also the results of their pupils’ work. In determining the integral indicator of the assessment of the efficiency of the use of labor resources, the method of taxonomic analysis was used with additional consideration of the specific weight of influence of each factor on an integral indicator. It is substantiated that the definition of the boundary load will not only establish an effective bonus system, but also increase the level of job satisfaction among subordinates. The mechanism of determining the coefficient of competence of experts involved in the evaluation of staff, taking into account their work experience, the scale of management activity, and the level of education, deserves further study.
