Objective A 2011 Australian study calculated average annual general practitioner (GP) utilisation and predicted numbers required to meet demand to 2020. The objective of the present study is to calculate average annual GP utilisation in 2015–16 compared with clinical demand predicted in 2005–06. Methods Demand was calculated from Medicare Benefits Schedule, Department of Veterans’ Affairs and Australian Bureau of Statistics data. Length of consultation and average clinical hours worked per week (from 2002–03 to 2015–16) was drawn from GP self-reported data collected through the Bettering the Evaluation And Care of Health (BEACH) program. GP workforce numbers were sourced from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare ‘Medical practitioners workforce 2015’ report. Results Predicted demand from 2005–06 to 2009–10 approximated GP supply. Beyond 2011, approximately 2674 additional GPs were required in 2015–16 to maintain the average annual 2005–06 GP workload. An additional 5941 GPs were required to meet the increase in clinical demand (for GP services to patients) from 2005–06 to 2015–16. Conclusions The number of GP clinical hours worked decreased, and clinical demand increased. Ongoing efforts are required to ensure the supply of GPs to meet the clinical demand of Australia’s aging population. What is known about this topic? For the past three decades there has been concern about the supply of GPs in Australia. In recent years the Australian Government has taken several steps to improve access to GP services by increasing the overall supply of GPs and encouraging a more even distribution of GPs across Australia. A 2011 Australian study calculated average annual GP service utilisation and predicted the number of GPs required to meet clinical demand to 2020. There are current concerns that the GP workforce has reached a state of oversupply. What does this paper add? This study concludes that the GP workforce is not in a state of oversupply, confirming that patient clinical demand increased through both population growth and the aging of the population. Although the number of GPs increased, the number of clinical hours worked by (male) GPs decreased. Therefore, the rise in the number of GPs did not result in a proportional rise in GP workforce capacity. Clearly standardised definitions and inclusions for counting the GP workforce would improve accuracy in measuring this section of the health workforce. What are the implications for practitioners? GP workforce supply will require ongoing monitoring over coming years considering the increasing population, the aging of the population, declining clinical GP working hours and the approaching mass retirement of older GPs.

In order to aid health workforce planning, we measured the number of hours worked by general practitioners (GPs). The twofold aim of this study consisted of assessing the feasibility, validity and reliability of an innovative method to measure working time and, second, to analyse differences in hours worked between six types of GPs divided by the combination of their gender and employment position. Our method was based on multiple time point observations using SMS text messaging. On average 19 GPs participated every week for 57 weeks. In total 1,051 GPs participated resulting in 61,320 valid measurements of time use. On average, GPs worked 44 hours per week. About 56% of this time was spent on direct patient-related activities, 26% to indirect patient-related activities, and 18% to activities not related to patients. There were substantial differences in working hours between male and female self-employed, those drawing a salary from a duo or group practice and locum GPs. For example, male self-employed GPs worked 51.6 hours per week, whereas male locum GPs worked 26.7 hours per week. Generally, differences in hours worked with regard to gender and employment position are smaller if we relate these hours to the number of FTE they worked. Furthermore, we conclude that the method of SMS text messaging based on the time sampling technique presents a limited degree of interference to the participants’ work and achieved reliable and valid results.

PT XYZ is a factory engaged in the instant cement or mortarindustry located in Semarang Regency, Central Java, which has beenestablished since 2013. The company is managed by a presidentdirector who supervises 36 contract employees. The compensationsystem used by PT XYZ is to pay a basic salary of Rp. 11,515/hourobtained from the UMR of Semarang Regency divided by 200working hours. The compensation system applies to all positions atPT XYZ except for director and the factors that affect the amount ofbasic salary received depend on the number of hours worked eachmonth. The amount of the director's salary has its own rulesaccording to the agreement of the commissioner. Determination ofcompensation applied in the company is not ideal because it is onlydetermined by working hours without considering other factors.Thus, this study aims to evaluate the compensation system at PTXYZ based on a salary survey, salary mapping, and Eckenrodesystem in order to provide a better description of the compensationsystem for PT XYZ in order to assist the company in improving itsperformance. This study found ten compensable factors thatmatched the work of PT XYZ, which were obtained using the haymethod. The calculation results of the adhered and overlappingmethods are used to classify employee salaries into five grades.

Employment turnover among doctors at healthcare facilities negatively influences healthcare provision, facility management, and staffing. To support institutional and policy change, turnover intentions and its related factors of employed doctors were evaluated with 2016 Korean Physician Survey (n = 2719) in Korea. About 30.5% intended a turnover within two years. The significant related factors by multivariate analysis via binary logistic regression were gender, age, specialty, type of facility, length of current employment, usual number of hours worked per week, and income satisfaction. The odds of reporting turnover intention are 46.2% greater for males than females and 55.5% greater for aged 30–39 than aged 40–49. The odds are 28.9% smaller for support medicine than internal medicine. The odds are 224.2% greater for those employed at tertiary hospitals than those employed at clinics, but the odds are 34.0% smaller for convalescent hospital employment than general hospital employment. The number of years of current employment and income satisfaction each negatively, and the number of hours worked per week positively, related to turnover intentions. Fair compensation and performance evaluation systems and reasonable working hours should be guaranteed at healthcare facilities to reduce turnover, and institutional and policy measures should be implemented to improve workplace environmental quality.

The question when people work is almost always reduced to the question how much people work on (non-)standard working hours. In this contribution, we applied optimal matching techniques using Belgian data from a weekly work grid ( n = 6330) to identify individuals’ work timing patterns, offering a richer analytical approach than most previous studies on (non-)standard work time. Results show that such analysis captures much more and much more relevant variation in the timing of work than simple questions. Three general and 10 more detailed weekly work patterns are identified based on two dimensions of paid work: the number of hours worked and the percentage of hours worked on non-standard periods of time. Additional analyses show that men’s work patterns depend only on job characteristics. For women, work patterns are also explained by socio-economic factors including education, presence of working partner and presence of children.

First aid to injure of accidents at work takes the significant place in the system of labor protection as an important element of preserving life and safety of workers who are injured or have experienced a sharp deterioration in health during working hours. Nevertheless, the legal component of first aid has not yet been worked out in detail. As shown in the article, the main problem is that first aid treatment to injure at work is not limited to labor legislation, but is also an important part of the legislation on the protection of public health, criminal law. The article offers a comprehensive, systematic look at the legal aspects of first aid treatment at work with a focus on the need for an explicit separate determination and enforcement of the legal process "empower" and "bind" in organization of the first aid treatment at the employer.

Sociology has long been used to highlight the existence of diverse institutional models between geographical areas of Europe in terms of work organisation. Based on this, we propose to compare the situation of four representative countries of southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal) with that of the rest of Europe, by addressing the number of hours worked and the flexibility of working hours as key elements of their institutional model of work organisation, as well as their impact on levels of labour productivity. Taking the model of the varieties of capitalism as a reference, this study compares the behaviour of the Mediterranean (southern) countries with other European regions. Indicators have been obtained from the 2010 and 2015 waves of the European Work Conditions Survey (EWCS) that include the number of hours worked, the flexibility in the hours of entry and exit, and the tendency to work the same number of hours per day. After comparing averages in both waves and applying linear regressions, the following conclusions have been reached: (1) Productivity in southern countries is on a par with the European average but far from the more corporatist and liberal (northern) areas; (2) the South maintains a high average of hours worked (above the European average) to compensate for the poor productivity of its hours; and (3) the incorporation of flexible schedules is associated with elevated levels of productivity.

ABSTRACT The use of mechanization in the harvesting of industrial tomatoes provides greater yield and speed of this stage. However, mechanical intervention in this process may alter the physiology of harvested fruits. Therefore, the objective of this study was to measure the quantitative losses of tomato fruits and to verify the physico-chemical behavior of fruits harvested based on physicochemical analysis in harvesters with different hours of use. Three self-propelled harvesters of the same brand and model with different working hours were used. Manually selected or undamaged fruits were harvested; afterwards, mechanized harvesting was carried out. Firmness, titratable acidity, soluble solids content (°Brix), pH, weight loss and fruit status classification proposed by the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Food Supply of 2002 were evaluated. Quantitative losses were divided into: losses on vines, losses on soil and total losses. It was found that the number of hours worked by the harvester did not affect the quantitative losses. The amount of overall damage in a certain amount of fruit is greater when the harvester has a greater number of hours worked. Mechanized harvesting affected the physical attributes of the fruits, such as firmness and percentage of weight loss.

Fishery sub-sector is one sub-sector that has great potential to be developed. This study aims to determine how much influence the working capital, the number of fish sold, and the number of hours worked against the income of fish traders in Meulaboh. In this case hypothesized that the working capital variable, the number of fish sold, the number of working hours significantly and positively affect the income of fish traders in Meulaboh. Thus any increase that occurs in each variable will increase the income of fish traders in Meulaboh. Based on the results of the analysis, for the variable X1, H0 rejected and H1 accepted, it means working capital variables significantly affect pedapatan fish traders. For variables X2 and X3, H0 received H1 is rejected, meaning the number of fish sold and the number of working hours have no significant effect on the income of fish traders. Simultaneously, the working capital variable, the number of fish sold and the number of working hours significantly affect the merchant's income. 97.6% of changes in merchant income can be explained by changes in working capital variables, number of fish sold and number of working hours simultaneously. While the remaining 2.4% is explained by other variables that are not included as variables in the study. VIF values indicate that there is multicolinearity so it must be tested between independent variables. R12> R2 and R22> R2, it means multicollonierity.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between self-reported work ability and hours worked at the current time in Upper Extremity Musculoskeletal Disorders (UEMSD) patients. To further investigate this relationship, the association of work ability and working hours with several limitations in daily and working life were explored. Methods In this cross-sectional cohort study, a questionnaire was sent out to members of the UEMSD patient organisation, containing self-reported work ability, questions on working hours and limitations in work due to UEMSD. Limitations were measured with the Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand questionnaire, ShortForm-36 subscales, and common hand grasps or grips. Work ability was measured with the work ability score, while worked hours were operationalised as the percentage of hours worked compared to fulltime. The correlation between worked hours and work ability was tested with the Pearson correlation coefficient. Variance in work ability and the hours worked were explained by limitations and assessed with two linear regression analyses. Results Based on data of 794 respondents a moderate correlation was found between work ability and worked hours r = 0.46; 95% CI [0.40, 0.53]. Models including limitations explained 52 and 21% of total variance in work ability and worked hours, respectively. Variance in both can be explained by the degree of difficulties performing daily activities at work, limitations in daily activities as a consequence of health issues and the ability to perform a precision grip. Additionally, work ability can be explained by limitations at work and other daily activities due to physical health issues, while the percentage of hours can additionally be explained by the ability to grasp a large object with one hand, the ability to use a keyboard, and the subject’s gender. Conclusions The number of worked hours does not fully match the work ability. Although they share three predictors, work ability and worked hours seem to be based on different aspects. Compared to work hours, work ability is more strongly related to limitations in daily activities and work. Taking self-reported work ability into account can improve the fit between work limitations and work hours.
