Kemiskinan merupakan salah satu permasalahan mendasar yang telah menjadi perhatian utama berbagai negara di dunia termasuk Indonesia. Agar pengentasan kemiskinan berjalan efektif tentunya perlu diketahui dan diukur kuat pengaruh faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kemiskinan. Faktor-faktor tersebut diantaranya adalah modal SDM dan modal sosial. Untuk mengukur kontribusi faktor-faktor tersebut digunakan analisis regresi. Variabel bebas pada penelitian ini bersifat kategorik biner (1=miskin, 0=tidak) sehingga analisis regresi yang bisa digunakan adalah analisis regresi logistik dan probit. Penelitian ini menggunakan regresi probit untuk mengetahui pengaruh modal sosial dan modal SDM terhadap kemiskinan. Pada analisis regresi probit, asumsi yang harus dipenuhi adalah tidak adanya korelasi antara variabel bebas dan error pada model, apabila hal tersebut tidak terpenuhi maka akan muncul permasalahan yang disebut dengan endogenitas yang mengakibatkan hasil taksiran parameter yang dihasilkan bias. Pada penelitian ini diperoleh informasi bahwa variabel modal sosial merupakan variabel endogen sehingga digunakan metode Two Probit Least Square (2PLS) untuk mengatasi permasalahan endogenitas yang terjadi. Berdasarkan hasil regresi probit dengan menggunakan metode 2PLS diperoleh tiga variabel bebas yang berpengaruh negatif terhadap peluang rumah tangga menjadi miskin, variabel-variabel tersebut adalah modal sosial, lama sekolah dan umur. Sedangkan variabel ukuran rumah tangga berpengaruh positif terhadap peluang rumah tangga menjadi miskin di Indonesia. [Poverty is one of the fundamental problems. It has been a major concern of governments in various countries around the world, including Indonesia. In order for poverty alleviation to be effective, it is necessary to know and measured strongly the influence of factors affecting poverty. These factors include human capital and social capital. To measure the contribution of these factors is used regression analysis. The independent variables in this study are binary categorical (1=poor, 0=no) so that regression analysis that can be used is logistic and probit regression analysis. This research uses probit regression to know the influence of social capital and human capital to poverty. In the probit regression analysis, the assumption that must be met is the absence of correlation between the independent variable and error in the model, if it is not fulfilled then the problem will arise called endogeneity which can lead to bias parameter. In this study obtained information that social capital variable is an endogenous variable, so Two Probit Least Square (2PLS) method used to overcome the problem of endogeneity that happened. Based on the results of probit regression using 2PLS method obtained three independent variables that negatively affect the probability of households to be poor, these variables are social capital, school, and age. While the variable size of households positively affects the probability of households being poor in Indonesia.]

Background and Objectives: Pain affects psychological stress and general health in the working population. However, the factors affecting psychological job stress related to chronic pain are unclear. This study aimed to clarify the structural differences among factors affecting psychological job stress in workers with chronic pain and those without pain. Materials and Methods: A stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed the differences in structure between the psychological stress of workers with chronic pain and those with no pain. Psychological job stress by the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire was used as the dependent variable, with psychological state (depression and anxiety), specifically that characteristic of chronic pain (pain catastrophizing); information on the nature of the pain (intensity and duration); and number of years of service as independent variables. Selected independent variables were evaluated for collinearity. Results: In the model with psychological stress as a dependent variable (chronic pain: r2 = 0.57, F = 41.7, p < 0.0001; no-pain: r2 = 0.63, F = 26.3, p < 0.0001), the difference between the experiences of workers with chronic pain and those with no pain was that chronic pain was associated with depression (Beta = 0.43, p < 0.0001) and no pain with anxiety (Beta = 0.34, p < 0.0001). In the model with chronic pain-related depression as a dependent variable (r2 = 0.62, F = 41.7, p < 0.0001), job-life satisfaction (Beta = −0.18, p = 0.0017) and magnification (a dimension of pain catastrophizing; Beta = 0.16, p < 0.0001) were significant. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the psychological characteristics of chronic pain, such as depression and magnification, should be considered when evaluating and intervening in the job stress of workers with chronic pain.

This study aims to identify the factors affecting representativeness, conservatism, and overconfidence biases in a sample of Turkish institutional investors. In difference to other studies, especially the individual investments of institutional investors in capital markets are focused on. The respondents who are selected with the method of convenience sampling are asked survey questions. In the study, models are formed with the stepwise method using linear regression analysis, and survey questions that are assumed to represent the examined biases are selected as the dependent variable. The age, gender, marital status, education, whether or not having children, and experience of institutional investors are included in the analysis as the independent variables. This way, which of the independent variables that are found to be statistically significant and the subcategories of these independent variables are most influential on the biases is revealed. As a result of the analysis, in addition to determining the variables that affect a single bias, it is understood that the variable of education level affects all examined biases, and especially the effect of low education levels on the examined biases is higher. In the regression analysis, experience is identified as a significant variable affecting representativeness and conservatism biases. It is observed that especially the institutional investors who are inexperienced or less experienced interact with these two biases more in their decisions related to their individual investments. Gender is found to be significant variable on both conservatism and representativeness biases, especially it was understood that female institutional investors were more effective than men on the representativeness and conservatism bias. Furthermore, it is determined that the marital status variable and the divorced institutional investors as a subcategory of this variable are significantly influential on conservatism and overconfidence biases.

There is a growing concern regarding patient safety and high reliability which made more intense with this ongoing pandemic.Aim of this study is to assess the organizational factors affecting the practice of High-Reliability Organization (HRO) Principles as perceived by staff in selected Accident and Emergency Units. Methodology: A hospital based cross-sectional study in three Accident and Emergency care setting, among healthcare staff, conducted using a self-administered questionnaire.Results: Out of the five factors affecting HRO practices as perceived by staff, “Organizational Safety Culture” (Mean-4.27., SD-0.49) has the highest mean value followed by Leadership (Mean: 3.96, SD: 0.44) and Teamwork (Mean: 3.95, SD: 0.5). “Work Environment” (Mean: 3.94, SD: 0.46) has the lowest score. All independent and dependent variables have a significant positive correlation with HRO principles (Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level-1-tailed). Multivariate analysis was carried out to assess the proportion variability of the dependent variable. The linear regression model explains 22% of the variability of the HRO practices (dependent variable) by factors affecting HRO practices (independent variables) if all the factors operate together.The distribution of Coefficients, Standardized B value is 0.29 (significant at the 0.01 level), showing if “Organizational Safety Culture” operates together with the other four independent variables 29% of the variability of the HRO practices (dependent variable) can be explained by Organizational Safety Culture.Conclusion: Organizational safety culture shows significant (< 0.01) effect on determining HRO practices.
