The Impacts of Friendship, Advice and Negative Ties on Intention To Leave: The case of nurses in a special branch hospital

OBJECTIVES: The high turnover rate of nurses has been a matter of debate among scholars. Nurses’ social interaction patterns and the social structure they are situated within may provide clues about possible causes of their high turnover intentions. This study aims to investigate the possible effects of negative and positive ties on the intention of turnover among nurses. DESIGN & SETTING: A hybrid research methodology was used. Social network analysis was used to reveal the positions of the nurses (n = 126) in the positive and negative networks. A statistical model was formed with varying types of centrality measures, intragroup conflict, and intention to leave variables. The data was collected from all the nurses working in a special branch hospital. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The findings of the study clearly indicate that negative interactions directly and indirectly affect the intention to leave, and the nurses demand professional support from their colleagues. The findings also show the existence of a fragmented social structure among nurses, which suggests the increased importance of brokerage roles. Managers should closely monitor the negative interactions among nurses, and they need to use conflict management techniques frequently to reduce hostile relations in the business environment. Managers should especially seek ways to increase altruistic tendencies among colleagues because nurses demand professional support ties more than friendship relations.

ԱՆՁՆԱՅԻՆԻ ԵՎ ՎԵՐԱՆՁՆԱՅԻՆԻ ԵՐԿՎՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ ՀԱՅԿԱԿԱՆ ԷԹՆՈՀՈԳԵԲԱՆԱԿԱՆ ԱՎԱՆԴՈՒՅԹՆԵՐՈՒՄ / THE DILEMMA OF THE PERSONAL AND THE TRANSPERSONAL IN THE TRADITIONS OF ARMENIAN ETHNOPSYCHOLOGY

The article examines two levels of thinking and human activity - personal and transpersonal. It is argued, that for personal activity "everyday life" is the most favorable, and the more it is rooted in the socio-cultural model of life of a given society, the more it affects other types of relations and spheres of social life - economy, politics, upbringing, education, etc. The transpersonal is formed in the human psyche on the basis of the personal as a necessary requirement for further development. But when the transpersonal does not come naturally from the personal and is not the result of its development, then it (transpersonal) is artificially implanted from the outside through upbringing, education or ideology. In this case, in the mental system of the individual, the personal, figuratively speaking, is oppressed, limited by the transpersonal (national, religious, moral or other ideas and phenomena), which ultimately can lead to deindividualization of a person. This tendency is peculiarly expressed in the ethnopsychology of the Armenians, which was formed in many respects in a foreign cultural environment and, as a result, became a "hostage" of the narrowest sphere of human being - everyday life. It is the most favorable for the personal level of thinking and human activity, which can explain individualism and the collectivism in the ethnopsychology of the Amenians, which does not go beyond the framework of everyday - family, friendship - relations. For further transpersonal development of a person a qualitative transition in thinking from ideology to worldview, from dogmatism to critical rationalism is required, which is almost impossible within the framework of the dominant everyday social and cultural model of life organization. This means that the dominant everyday relations are transferred to many spheres of social life - politics, economics, education, etc., and the vacuum in the transpersonal sphere of the human psyche in the process of upbringing, education and socialization is filled with some historical, national, religious and other narratives, that have little meaningful connection with the everyday life and, in total, depress, limit the personal development of a person.

Undesirable social relations as risk factors for loneliness among 14-year-olds in the UK: Findings from the Millennium Cohort Study

In the current study, data collected from Wave 6 of the Millennium Cohort Study ( n = 11,872), a nationally representative sample survey of youth aged 14 years in the UK, are used to examine the prevalence of loneliness among this age-group, investigate the feelings associated with the experience of loneliness among youth, explore the risk factors for loneliness among young people, and learn how they coped with loneliness. Given recent findings that youth are vulnerable to loneliness, the study assesses the prevalence of loneliness among adolescents across some important sociodemographic characteristics, such as nation of residence, gender, and ethnicity. We also identify the kinds of social experiences that accompany loneliness during adolescence, exploring friendship, relations with parents, social support, and bullying. Our key finding is that, in addition to the absence of desired social relationships, which has been typically identified as the ultimate source of loneliness, the presence of undesirable and even harmful social relationships is a major source of loneliness. This study uniquely brings together psychological and sociological perspectives to understand the experience of youth loneliness.

Mutualism Despite Ostensible Difference: HuShamwari, Kuhanyisana, and Conviviality Between Shona Zimbabweans and Tsonga South Africans in Giyani, South Africa

This ethnographic study explores forms of mutuality and conviviality between Shona migrants from Zimbabwe and Tsonga-speaking South Africans living in Giyani, South Africa. To analyse these forms of mutuality, we draw on Southern African concepts rather than more conventional development or migration theory. We explore ways in which the Shona concept of hushamwari (translated as “friendship”) and the commensurate xiTsonga category of kuhanyisana (“to help each other to live”) allow for conviviality. Employing the concept of hushamwari enables us to move beyond binaries of kinship versus friendship relations and examine the ways in which people create reciprocal friendships that are a little “like kin.” We argue that the cross-cutting forms of collective personhood that underlie both Shona and Tsonga ways of being make it possible to form social bonds across national lines, such that mutuality can be made between people even where the wider social context remains antagonistic to “foreigners.”
