Objective: To investigate the relationships between job characteristics, motivation, role stress and performance effectiveness of dental nurses in primary care units in the northeastern part of Thailand. Material and Method: A explanatory cross-sectional study was conducted in 326 dental nurses who were working in 310 PCUs of 19 provinces, 220 amphurs in the northeastern part of Thailand were t...

This paper examines the long-term effects of job displacement, due to establishment closures in Sweden, on labour market status. Linked employer-employee data made it possible to identify all workers displaced in 1987 and to follow them until 1999. Using a difference-indifference matching estimator, we found a rapid recovery after the displacement in 1987, with respect to both employment and un...

When population variances of observations in an ANOVA are a known function of their population means, many textbooks recommend using variancestabilizing transformations. Examples are: square root transformation for Poisson data, arcsine of square root for binomial proportions, and log for exponential data. We investigate the usefulness of transformations in onefactor, 3-level ANOVAs with nonnor...

BACKGROUND Doctors respond differently to their complex work environment, some find it stimulating while others find it stressful. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and correlates of stress among junior doctors in a teaching hospital in Southwest Nigeria. METHOD A descriptive cross sectional survey of all junior doctors employed at the University College Hospital, Ibadan was carried o...

This study analyzes the knowledge of community health workers in tuberculosis control and their self-perceived knowledge and the importance they ascribe to their role in fighting the disease, in Vitória, Espírito Santo State, Brazil.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify the association between occupational stress and depression-well-being by proposing a comprehensive and flexible job burden-capital model with its corresponding hypotheses. METHODS For this research, 1618 valid samples were gathered from the electronic manufacturing service industry in Hunan Province, China; self-rated questionnaires were administered to...

In the literature of the combinatorial optimization problems, it is a commonplace to find more than one mathematical model for the same problem. The significance of a model may be measured in terms of the efficiency of the solution algorithms that can be built upon it. The purpose of this article is to present a new network model for the well known combinatorial optimization problem – the job s...

PURPOSE Building on the Conservation of Resources theory, this paper examined the unique and interactive associations of negative and positive work-to-family spillover (NWFS and PWFS, respectively) at the individual and organizational level with hotel managers' work exhaustion and satisfaction, beyond job demands and supervisors' leadership style. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH Guided by the lev...

In this study, I re-analyze data from a meta-analysis of research on the job characteristics model (Hackman & Oldham, 1980), using relative weights analysis (Johnson, 2001). This analytic technique is particularly well-suited for analyses in which one wants to most accurately determine the proportion of explained variance in a dependent variable among several independent variables, while avoidi...
