Primary work stressors and job satisfaction/dissatisfaction in Greek Junior Hospital Doctors (JHDs) are investigated to identify similarities and differences in the reports obtained from male and female hospital doctors. Participants in the study included 32 male and 28 female Greek hospital doctors who provided information through semi-structured, in-depth interviews. The findings revealed that a majority of Greek JHDs considered their profession very stressful, and that various differences were identified between male and female JHDs, with regard to perceived stress and satisfaction. The study has implications for the possible introduction of in-house stress management training programmes, both at a generic, and gender specific level. Future research aimed at increasing the individuals’ coping mechanism s, and identifying environmental sources of stress are recommended.

The professional role and responsibilities for sports journalists have evolved to now include using social media. In this study, we explore how male and female print sports journalists use Twitter to communicate with their followers about sports. Relying on previous research showing disparities in sports coverage and gender as well as assertive and affiliative language theory, we employ a content analysis of tweets from 57 sports journalists ( N = 4,897). We find that male and female sports journalists tweet at statistically the same rate, but male sports journalists are more likely to tweet about sports than female sports journalists, less likely to tweet about women sports and athletes, and more likely to use assertive language in their tweets. Findings are discussed with suggestions for future research.

This study measures job satisfaction, personal fulfillment, work/life balance, and stress levels of male and female librarians. Researchers surveyed 719 librarians at ARL institutions that either offer faculty status and tenure or offer neither. Females at libraries offering faculty status indicated poor work/life balance and high levels of stress compared to male colleagues and female librarians without faculty status; however, their reported job satisfaction was similar. Possible implications of the results are discussed.

This study examined the degree of job-related burnout and the relationship between burnout and gender, age, practice settings, years in the profession, and the level of religiosity among health education specialists in Taiwan. A Chinese version of Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used to assess burnout symptoms among 184 respondents. Results indicated that younger respondents had a significantly higher degree of burnout symptoms on both emotional exhaustion and depersonalization than older respondents and female respondents had a higher score on emotional exhaustion symptoms than male counterparts. There were no other significant differences of burnout symptoms between groups concerning practice setting, years in profession, and level of religiosity. It was concluded that some health education specialists were suffering from burnout symptoms, especially women and younger professionals and there is a need for stress management training for retention and training of health education specialists.

Gender Traditionalism

Prior research demonstrates that religion and gender traditionalism are associated with less favorable attitudes toward same-sex unions because of its deviation from customary religious doctrine and traditional patterns of gender behavior. Using a national random sample of American adults, this study examines the link between religion, gender traditionalism, and attitudes toward same-sex unions by utilizing a novel measure of gender traditionalism that is distinctly religious as well. Recent work on images of God reveals that individuals’ views of the divine provide a glimpse of their underlying view of reality. The results suggest that individuals who view God as a “he” are much less favorable toward same-sex unions than those who do not view God as masculine, even while controlling for gender traditionalist beliefs and other images of God. Individuals who view God as masculine are signaling a belief in an underlying gendered reality that influences their perceptions of the proper ordering of that reality, which extends to marriage patterns. These findings encourage future research to identify innovative measures of religion that incorporate aspects of other social institutions to account for their interconnected nature.

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the Indonesian government to implement a distance learning system. Changes and uncertainties might deteriorate mental health, especially in female adolescents who were initially prone to experiencing stress based on their developmental stage and gender. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of stress management training with Online Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches in reducing stress and developing adaptive coping strategies. A total of 8 participants (ages 14-15) were recruited online with the purposive sampling technique. Changes in stress levels and coping strategies were tested using Friedman’s ANOVA test. There was a significant reduction in stress that continued until 1-month follow-up and increased adaptive coping strategies after the intervention (post-test). Participants also reported positive changes in cognition and emotion, including increased belief about their ability to handle stress in the future. However, there was no statistically significant reduction in a maladaptive coping strategy. Additional factors, such as individual differences and interactions with the environment influenced the intervention's effectiveness.

Researchers often combine longitudinal panel data analysis with tests of interactions (i.e., moderation). A popular example is the cross-lagged panel model (CLPM). However, interaction tests in CLPMs and related models require caution because stable (i.e., between-level, B) and dynamic (i.e., within-level, W) sources of variation are present in longitudinal data, which can conflate estimates of interaction effects. We address this by integrating literature on CLPMs, multilevel moderation, and latent interactions. Distinguishing stable B and dynamic W parts, we describe three types of interactions that are of interest to researchers: 1) purely dynamic or WxW; 2) cross-level or BxW; and 3) purely stable or BxB. We demonstrate estimating latent interaction effects in a CLPM using a Bayesian SEM in Mplus to apply relationships among work-family conflict and job satisfaction, using gender as a stable B variable. We support our approach via simulations, demonstrating that our proposed CLPM approach is superior to a traditional CLPMs that conflate B and W sources of variation. We describe higher-order nonlinearities as a possible extension, and we discuss limitations and future research directions.

The population consisted of all the senior administrative staff in the universities, out of which a sample of 400 respondents made up of 100 respondents from each of the state and federal universities. Two research questions were raised while one hypothesis was generated and tested at 0.05 level of significance, using t-test statistical method. The result of the analysis showed that the level of job satisfaction of administrative staff in both federal and state universities was high. It was also revealed that there was no significant difference in the job satisfaction of administrative staff in the universities.

This research explored gatekeeping transactions of professional women in selected occupational fields. Subjects were asked to keep daily records on strategies they used to gain needed resources from other people in their workplace. Characteristics of gatekeeping transactions were studied as potential stressors that might affect specific indicators of mental health. Results suggest that differences in levels of job satisfaction and substance use can be predicted by specific characteristics of gatekeeping transactions, such as total number of transactions, number of strategies used per transaction, negativity of transactions, and gender and role status of gatekeeper. Patterns of influence strategies used by the subjects are discussed, as are implications for future research on gatekeeping transactions in relation to professional women's mental health and job satisfaction.
