Emotional Strain

Work in public and private sectors compared Work in public and private sectors compared During the past years, Dutch media made mention of work problems and social unrest in the public sectors. However, research did not focus very strongly on the quality of work in these sectors. Therefore the aim of this article is to describe working conditions and terms of employment in the public sectors in comparison with the private sectors in the Netherlands. The data used were gathered by TNO and Statistics Netherlands in 2010 with the annual Netherlands Working Conditions Survey. The 2010-sample contained 23.000 workers, representative for the Dutch work force.The analyses – centered on 10 public and 10 private sectors – show clearly that mental-emotional strain is higher in the public sectors than in private sectors. On the other hand, physical strain, dangerous work and irregular working hours, are encountered more frequently in the private sectors. In the public sectors employees work more with permanent contracts and in shorter working weeks. Work uncertainty is seen above average in the financial and commercial services and in the transportation sector, but also in government departments, the judiciary and the police. Feelings of burn out are found most often in the three educational sectors. Pay satisfaction is highest among workers in the financial services, higher education and government departments, and lowest in the police and the hotel and catering industry. On average overall work satisfaction is highest in the public sectors.In addition, the analyses show that the 10 public sectors cannot be seen as one whole; the same is true for the 10 private sectors. As far as the quality of work is concerned, government departments, local governments, provinces and higher education resemble commercial and financial services. But primary and secondary education, health care and the police differ significantly from the other public sectors.

This study presents a review of the Quality of Higher Education through the incidence of learning styles. The quality is important l element the private sector, as well as for the public sector since it evaluates services, supply and working conditions, and the relationship with the environment where they carry out their activities. Therefore, higher education organizations cannot be exempt from the importance of quality. However, there are several factors that affect the quality of education, being one of the most important learning styles. Generally, from this background, the main objective of this study to define the role and quality concepts of higher education the analysis of the key aspects of quality assurance and its relationship with student learning styles, by briefly reviewing the literature in this regard that allows for defining this relationship and its importance. The results showed through these studies that there is no single style of learning, and that this must be flexible within the classroom to improve the educational experience of students, but that this cannot lead to the choice of a single style considered as suitable.

Prevalence and effects of co-determination in the Netherlands Based on data of the Netherlands Employers Work Survey of TNO (with about 20,000 firms in the period 2008-2014) and the Netherlands Working Conditions Survey of TNO and Statistics Netherlands (with about 150,000 employees in the period 2007-2014) this articles provides answers on questions like to what extent formal co-determination exists in the Netherlands, and what the relation is with the quality of work, the terms of employment and the firm performance. The analyses show that about 76 percent of the medium sized firms (50-249 employees) in the period 2008-2014 have a works council or a workers representation. Among the larger firms (250 employees or more) this figure is 94 percent. Hence, a quarter of the medium sized firms and 6 percent of the larger firms do not comply with the law. In the period 2008-2014 there is no increase or decrease in formal co-determination in the Netherlands. Co-determination is two to three times more often found in older than in younger firms. Probably tradition plays a role in older firms and unfamiliarity and other worries in younger businesses. Sectors were co-determination is often found are the public sector (95%), education (80%), and health care (70%). On the other hand, in hotels and restaurants (18%), agriculture (19%), construction (31%), and trade (33%) works councils and worker representations are less often found. Employees in the Netherlands are relatively satisfied with their works council or workers representation, scoring 6,5 on a scale from 1 to 10. No relations were found between the prevalence of a works council and the increase of decrease of the firm performance or the satisfaction with the terms of employment, both in the view of the employer. However, employees working in a firm with a works council or worker representation are more satisfied with their work, their income and pension, their working hours and working conditions. In addition, employees in firms with a works council or worker representation, also report more direct participation (more job consultation, more job control, with more supervisor support and less conflict).

Public Imagination

This chapter draws on qualitative data from the Mass Observation Study and interviews with students to explore how members of the general public, and prospective and current students, frame the meaning of Higher Education, both in policy terms and according to their own experience. This analysis highlights a central contradiction within the position held by the 21st century University in the public imagination. On one hand, expansion is regarded as a progressive development, and there is a striking generosity and optimism in the ways that the provision of this experience for more young people is discussed. On the other, there are widespread concerns about the motivations and effects of massification, including the normalisation of student debt, the diminishing value of degrees, and the quality of education provided.

The relatively quick evolution of paramedicine and the inevitable ‘growing pains’ associated with an evolving profession has seen mentoring and the role of the mentor become clouded in confusion, ineffective education and a lack of specific research. Paramedicine’s recent development as a registered profession has also seen mentoring explicitly outlined as being a capability expected of all registered paramedics. However, the paramedic-mentoring model in Australia seems to have been mostly left up to the individual paramedic to develop in isolation from adequate training and mentoring themselves. If paramedicine is to continue its evolution as a legitimate healthcare profession, the quality of clinical mentoring must be acknowledged as a significant factor by higher education institutions, and the public and private services who employ paramedics, and nurtured accordingly.

The picture drawn by Chaucer in the Friar’s Tale is a little journalistic, not to say sensational, and it deals with only some aspects of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of his day, yet it leaves us in no doubt as to the importance of the courts, and of the way in which they were regarded in some quarters. Perhaps the picture was overdrawn, and true only of the half century or so within Chaucer’s own knowledge. On the other hand it has recently been demonstrated that these same courts furnished some at least of the excuses for royal and parliamentary action at the outset of the reformation, and there seems to be good reason for a closer look at them in this context. Most of all, however, for those whose principal interest is the quality of medieval life, it is desirable to consider the institution during the whole period for which there is some sort of continuous record of its working, that is, for the years covered by my title. There is no doubt that such a study should reveal a considerable section of the public and private life of the time, and while in the limits of this paper I can do no more than skim the surface of my material I hope that I shall persuade others to make further and deeper studies.

The 5S concept, practiced in Japan since the early 1980s, is the most widely accomplished practice in organizations in both the public and private sectors. To create a more comfortable, organized, clean, safe, neat and quality work culture within an organization, 5S practices were then introduced in Malaysia in the mid-1980s. It is able to define, achieve and ultimately maintain a better standard of work culture while increasing the value of employees in an organization. In this regard, the study was conducted to determine the effects of implementing 5S practices on productivity and quality of work among UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang’s support staff. The questionnaire was distributed to 60 respondents working in the workshops, laboratories, and kitchens at UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 21. This study found that the effects of 5S practice among UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang support staff in terms of quality and productivity of work were quite excellent, reflecting the improvement in the work quality and productivity among support staff since 5S was implemented. This indirectly improves quality and productivity of laboratories, workshops, and kitchens services. The campus management needs to recover the lack of 5S practice to optimise the work quality and productivity among the support staff. Keywords: 5S practice, UiTM, productivity, quality of work
