Electronic ordering systems provide many potential benefits for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery. They also have major implications for organisational and communication processes within hospitals. We undertook a qualitative study using focus groups and interviews with doctors, nurses, IT managers, and pathology laboratory managers to investigate the impact of the system on their work processes and relations within a major teaching hospital. This study revealed that the new electronic ordering system involved major alterations to the information management processes within the hospital, which in turn affected communication processes and work relations.

Purpose Job satisfaction has positive outcomes for individuals and organizations. These include decreased turnover and conflict, increased productivity, improved work quality and creativity and innovation. Determinants entail work–life balance, advancement and development opportunities, relationships with co-workers and managers, working conditions and intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, among others. Understanding these determinants across workers and contexts is critical for effective management and the achievement of organizational goals. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach This study, based on data from the International Social Survey Program, examines the impact of various aspects of work-life balance, rewards and work relations on job satisfaction across occupations. Findings Findings indicate more differences than similarities among countries and occupations with workers in managerial and professional positions experiencing the highest job satisfaction levels. Originality/value Although extensive research has documented the benefits and determinants of job satisfaction, it has not focused on global comparisons across occupational categories.

Changes in methods of agricultural production have impacted on the lives of those involved in this sector. New social relations, technologies, values and landscapes have been introduced as well as potential risks to health. Female workers have a specific experience that requires a closer analysis to understand their situation. The research addresses the interrelationship of health, work, and the environment of women agriculturalists in a rural Amazonian community. This focus allows the identification and understanding of relations between the women and the actors with whom they share daily activities and the implications for health, work, and self-image. Using qualitative methods the experiences of 47 women were captured through collective interviews, which were analysed by Nucleus of Meaning Analysis (NMA), adapted from Categorical Content Analysis. Work is central to the lives of the women workers but is attributed with different meanings depending on the context and the relationship. It was found that the relationship with employers increases the risk of workplace exploitation; with male partners work is characterised as ‘helping’. Work with female co-workers increases a sense of identity, strengthens social bonds and an ability to solve problems. In conclusion, in addition to issues related to production methods, the subjective relational universe of these workers is marked by a complexity that impacts on their lives and health. The authors suggest that research on the impact of daily life and workplace on health considers the different and complex relations and subjective demands, especially in contexts endowed with uniqueness.

This research covers an analysis of the essential aspects involving the Fourth Industrial Revolution, disruptive technologies and their consequences on work relations. Using literature reviews, analysing cases of companies that failed and others that remodeled themselves to survive the yearnings of the technological age, it was possible to obtain important results. The research was conducted in three parts: 1. historical contextualization guiding the reader on the main aspects and peculiarities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution; 2. definition, application and some examples of disruptive technologies; 3. confirmation of the impact of these technologies on work relations. The methods used were: hermeneutics, privileging theoretical studies and analysis of documents and texts and the deductive method, starting from existing laws and theories for the development of a logical reasoning to explain the central problem. Negative impacts of mass unemployment due to the replacement of human labor by highly technological machines cannot be stimated. These machines are part of what has been called disruptive technology, i.e., a product or innovative servant destabilizes competition, overcoming it in such a way that it promotes the rupture of existing models, ruining them. Professionals will be called to fill new jobs, with skills and competencies for Industry 4.0, whose interaction between man and machine will be essential. Use of big data in quality control, robots, fully automated vehicles, 3D printers in production lines, among other activities are examples of work demands.

This research aims to explore the shifting of work relations between land owners and landless peasants in Central Java. Besides, it also proposed to find the trend of the impact of shifting work relations between them. The research is designed using the semi-grounded method and phenology based on qualitative approach. This research is intentionally conducted in Purbalingga and Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province. Based on the research results, farmers in rural areas that are relatively far from the city have working relationships that tend to be exploited and are asymmetrical. On the other hand, the relationship of farmers in rural areas near cities tends to be more rational and commercial and symmetrical. The suggestion that can be given is the working relationship between the land owner and the cultivator who is beneficial to both parties needs to be maintained, but for the exploitative nature of work relationship there needs to be continuously empowered so that it does not bring damage to each of the party

Research method that is applied is normative legal research with a statutory approach and legal concepts. The results show that company policies in the form of layoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic can be justified as long as they comply with the provisions of Article 163 to Article 165 of the Manpower Law, the act of laying off workers can be justified as long as it complies the provisions of the Minister of Manpower Circular Letter Number 5/1998 and Minister of Manpower Circular Letter Number 907/2004. Legal protection that shall be obtained if a worker is laid off must comply with the provisions of Article 156 of the Manpower Law.

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.
