Organizational citizenship behavior of people working in the industry of hair-beauty can prevent people from escaping from respective organizations as well as contribute to the realization of organizational performance of hair-shops efficiently. The present study aimed to identify the effect of self-leadership of members of hair-shop, the significant factor in regard to the enhancement of organizational performance, upon organizational citizenship behavior. A total of 207 members, working in the franchise hair-shops residing in Busan metropolitan area were selected as subjects of the present study for the survey conducted during the period from April 19 to May 3, 2020, employing the self-administered questionnaire on self-leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. The data collected from the questionnaires were processed by using the SPSS Statistical Package (Ver. 24.0) to attain results of frequency analysis, t-test, ANOVA, post-analysis (Duncan's Method), and multiple linear regression analyses. Level of self-leadership of subjects was 3.75±0.53 points comparing to full-score of 5.0 point, wherein it was the highest from members of average monthly income of 3-million KRW (p<0.05). Level of organizational citizenship behavior was 3.57±0.48 points comparing to full-score of 5.0 point, wherein the level of members of the last educational background of university graduation was the highest points of 3.85±0.58 (p<0.01). The results of multiple linear regression analysis revealed the level of self-leadership as increasing in accordance with increasing level of organizational citizenship behavior (p<0.05). The self-leadership of members, engaging in the industry of hair-beauty, appeared with significant effect on the organizational citizenship behavior. It seems a fair and reasonable compensation system, as well as the training for self-development through systematic educational courses, is necessary for the reinforcement of self-leadership of members working in hair-shops.

Peer learning in health sciences-exploring pedagogy

Learning is a social experience. In most of the health science disciplines students learn in variety of environments like clinical placements, laboratory and lecture-based setting. Peer learning can be a component in any of these environments. However, effectiveness of peer learning on learning outcomes is not extensively researched as like other formal instructional strategies. Present paper aims to discuss the conceptual understanding, theoretical basis and possible effects of peer learning on aspects of learning outcomes. This can offer the background information to design the future research on peer learning instructional strategy. Peer learning is beneficial pedagogical learning strategy which has all round effect on the process of learning. Cognitive benefits and outcomes on the learning as well as psychosocial outcomes like behaviour, critical reasoning, motivation, and appreciation of team work are also noted. However, scarcity and diversity in the research on peer learning makes it difficult to ascertain its benefits or shortcomings in terms of measurability and generalizability. Inclusion of peer learning as student centric, flexible and individualised approach can complement the individual needs of the learners. Comprehensive understanding of peer learning process, improved study designs considering the factors affecting group dynamics, and more representative sampling techniques can help overcome the barriers and can result in better understanding of this approach in health science education.

Influence of the Impaction Angle on the Triboelectric Charging of Aerosol Nanoparticles

AbstractA low pressure impactor is used to measure triboelectric charging behavior of metallic nanoparticles. Ag nanoparticles, produced by spark discharge, were impacted onto Pt sputtered targets. The influence of the impaction angle and impaction velocity on the triboelectric charging was investigated. While for perpendicular impaction the charge transfer behavior of previous work was confirmed, the oblique impaction revealed new phenomena. Additional charge transfer was observable, which increases with obliqueness. The possibility of mass transfer between particle and target due to the high‐energy collisions was also investigated. SEM characterization and Auger spectroscopy indicate mass transfer from the particle to the target surface.

The advice that can be given is that workers should further enhance safe behavior in work and pay attention to safety signs that exist in the work environment, especially in the production department and for companies to have OHS (occupational health safety), and provide OHS training and guidance on OHS to improve the abilities and skills of workers, especially in the section production to safety behavior.

Convergence of playing and working behaviour in the context of digitalization of society

The article is dedicated to the theoretical study of the process of convergence, integration of two types of activity – playing and working in the information society. The author's classification of the stages of research of playing as a philosophical, psychological and social phenomenon is proposed. There are three stages in the development of research of playing starting from the research of Immanuel Kant and Johann Christoph Friedrich Schiller to modern-day authors. Based on the analysis of modern authors’ study, it is shown that functions of working are increasingly filled with playing methods, and vice versa playing partially acquires the characteristics of work behaviour. The transformation of the main functions of playing in the conditions of the information society is also shown; i.e., the information environment acts as a factor of change. The results of the study can be used in the study of digital environments, in theoretical and empirical studies, to explain the transformation of work behaviour of a subject, as well as in the practice of various pieces of training in the field of human resource management.

Development and Implementation of 'Just Right' Physical Behavior in Industrial Work Based on the Goldilocks Work Principle-A Feasibility Study.

The Goldilocks Work Principle expresses that productive work should be redesigned to comprise physical behaviors of different intensities in a composition promoting workers’ health and fitness. This study is the first to assess the feasibility of redesigning work in an industrial setting according to the Goldilocks Work Principle. We recruited workers (n = 20) from a brewery in Denmark, and we conducted a participatory 16-week intervention including a workshop and two consultations. The workshop aimed to support the workers in modifying their work, while the consultations assisted the eventual implementation. Feasibility was evaluated as per three aspects: (1) developing modifications of work, (2) implementing these modifications, and (3) changing physical behavior and self-reported fatigue, pain and energy. The three aspects were addressed through records completed by the workers, measurements of workers’ physical behavior and intensity during ‘control’ workdays (i.e., usual work) and ‘intervention’ workdays (i.e., modified work), and self-reported fatigue, pain and energy level following both types of workday. Five modifications to work were developed, and three of these five modifications were implemented. To some extent, physical behavior and intensity changed as intended during ‘intervention’ workdays compared to ‘control’ workdays. Workers were also less fatigued, had less pain, and had more energy after ‘intervention’ workdays. These results suggest that it is feasible to develop and implement modified work based on the Goldilocks Work Principle among industrial workers. However, we also identified several barriers to the implementation of such modifications.

Loaded forced-marching shifts mechanical contributions proximally and disrupts stride-to-stride joint work modulation in recruit aged women.

Military personnel in combat roles often perform gait tasks with additional load, which can affect the contributions of joint mechanical work (positive and negative). Furthermore, different locomotion patterns can also affect joint specific work contributions. While mean behavior of joint work is important to understanding gait, changes in joint kinetic modulation, or the regulation/control of stride-to-stride joint work variability is necessary to elucidate locomotor system function. Suboptimal modulation exhibited as a stochastic time-series (large fluctuation followed by an opposite smaller fluctuation) could potentially affect locomotion efficiency and portend injury risk. It remains unclear how the locomotor system responds to a combination of load perturbations and varying locomotion patterns. What are the interactive effects of load magnitude and locomotion pattern on joint positive/negative work and joint work modulation in healthy, active, recruit-aged women? Eleven healthy, active, recruit-aged (18-33 years) women ran and forced-marched (walking at a velocity an individual would typically jog) in bodyweight (BW), an additional 25 % of BW (+25 %BW) and an additional 45 % of BW (+45 %BW) conditions at a velocity above their gait transition velocity. Joint work was calculated as the time integral of joint power. Joint work modulation was assessed with detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) on consecutive joint work time-series. Joint work contributions shifted proximally for forced-marching demonstrated by lesser (p < .001) positive/negative ankle work but greater (p = .001) positive hip work contributions compared to running. Running exhibited optimal positive ankle work modulation compared to forced-marching (p = .040). Knee and ankle negative joint work modulation was adversely impacted compared to the hip during forced-marching (p < .001). Employing forced-marching gait while under loads of 25 and 45 % of BW reduces the ability of the plantar-flexors and knee extensors to optimally contribute to energy absorption and propulsion in recruit-aged women, potentially reducing metabolic efficiency and increasing injury risk.

Experimental Study on Deformation and Load Transfer Mechanisms of Symmetrical Batter Piles under Vertical Loading

Under the action of vertical loading, batter piles rarely appear individually, as they undergo horizontal and vertical displacements at the same time and produce a sizeable additional bending moment. However, previous studies have mainly focused on a single batter pile, which is inconsistent with engineering practices. Although single pile tests can easily reveal its working behavior, they also ignore two important factors, namely, the internal force redistribution caused by the deformation limitation of the mirror-like pile, and the interaction between the symmetrical piles and “clamped” soil (the soil between two symmetrical piles). Therefore, this paper took symmetrical batter piles as the test object to explore the influence of the two factors on the load transfer mechanism. Moreover, the deformation mode, distribution of inertial forces, and group effect of symmetrical batter piles were also discussed. The results showed that the “clamping effect” caused by the pile deformation had a significant impact on the load transfer. Under vertical loading, the flexible symmetrical floating batter piles were the only deformation mode. Under the constraint of the cap and mirror-like batter piles, the symmetrical conformation partially compensated for the disadvantage of the additional bending moment.

Conceptual model of soundscape perception based on working behaviour in open-plan offices

The open-plan office is one of the most popular and preferred workspace arrangement options for employers today. The results of research in western countries show that listeners’ perceptions of the soundscape in open-plan offices are negative, due to reduced visual and acoustic privacy and uncontrolled sound levels. This can cause a significant decrease in work comfort and productivity. Several researchers have provided acoustic design solutions by performing adequate speech control through several solutions such as creating spacing between workstations, the use of acoustic dampening materials, insulation between workstations, and application of a noise masking system. The phenomenon of adopting an open-plan office has also hit offices in big cities in the world, including in Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is to further examine listeners’ perceptions of the soundscape in the case of open-plan offices in the local environment because the results are indicated to be different from similar cases in western countries, given the peculiarities of employee work behaviour which are influenced by individual experiences and social effects in the local environment are also different. For this reason, a comprehensive literature review method is needed that aims to investigate the relationship between soundscape perceptions and working behaviour in open-plan offices in the local environment and then to create an integrated conceptual model so that further researchers can evaluate the research related to these problems.

The Status of Occupational Protection During COVID-19 Pandemic: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practice of Healthcare Workers in Endoscopy Units, China.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 spreads rapidly around the world, and some patients present gastrointestinal symptoms. The existence of the virus in the gastrointestinal tract makes digestive endoscopy a high-risk operation, which associated with an increased risk of infection rate in healthcare workers. This study aimed at exploring current knowledge, practice and attitudes of healthcare workers in endoscopy units in China regarding the status of occupational protection during COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: A cross-sectional study of a national online survey involving 717 healthcare workers in endoscopy units from 94 medical structures in 24 provinces and municipalities around China was conducted online via a questionnaire platform called Wenjuanxing (wjx.cn). The data were analyzed using correlation approaches, Kruskal-Wallis test for independent samples, and linear regression models.Results: Most Chinese healthcare workers in endoscopy units had a good knowledge of COVID-19 (median: 10; range: 7–12), showed a strikingly positive attitude (median: 65; range: 39–65), and carried out good practice (median: 47; range: 14–50) in strengthening the protection, disinfection and management of COVID-19. In terms of attitudes, female staff was more concerned about protection against COVID-19 than male staff (KW = 8.146, P = 0.004). Nurses performed better in both attitude (KW = 2.600, P = 0.009) and practice (KW = 6.358, P < 0.001) than endoscopic physicians when carrying out personal protection, patient care and environmental disinfection against SARS-CoV-2 infection. More positive attitudes in protection were related to better protective behavior in endoscopic daily medical work (r = 0.312; P < 0.001).Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that Chinese endoscopy healthcare workers have an excellent mastery of knowledge about COVID-19, which is transformed into positive beliefs and attitudes, contributing to good practice during daily endoscopic procedures. Medical staff may benefit from further education. With the gradual normalization amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, protection and management in endoscopy units may be changed accordingly.

Ignorance of problems in performance appraisals may have negative effects on a conducive working atmosphere and behaviors at the personal, group and organizational levels. Therefore, the findings of this study have social implications for the capability to examine fairness in employees' performance appraisals.Originality/valueThe instrument for measuring problems with performance appraisal was developed based on the combination of concepts, theories and interview and questionnaire data. This instrument facilitates human resource officers, managers and organizations in measuring the levels of problems with performance appraisals.

Understanding radiological protection systems among diagnostic radiology facilities in Mumbai, India

This study aims to understand radiological protection systems in diagnostic radiology practices among 30 diagnostic radiology facilities in Mumbai, India. It assesses the status of radiological protection systems in the facilities, continuous professional development (CPD) of workers and their risky working behaviour and perceptions using a semi-structured questionnaire. Then, we examine the perceptions of workers when they were working in facilities without proper protection systems. We also, attempt to understand the reasons why workers engage in risky behaviour despite the availability of protective systems. In doing so, we examine the influence of CPD on their work behaviour. The study observed that about 20% of the diagnostic radiology facilities in Mumbai had lack of implementation of the regulatory requirements and establishment of radiological protection systems. Obviously, it is expected that the workers of regulated facilities would comply with regulatory requirements, and their working behaviour would be better than those of their counterparts of unregulated facilities would. However, our study observes that some workers in the regulated practices also indulge in risky working behaviour. About 30% of workers were not using personal monitoring device during work procedures. Although lead aprons were available in the facilities, about 51% of workers were not wearing it wherever required. It was observed that about 10% of workers engaged in the activities like opening the door during radiation exposure, chatting with others on mobile phone during procedure and not checking collimator light before radiation exposure etc. The factors that contributed to workers’ engagement in risky work behaviour are the non-availability of protection systems, lack of exposure to CPD, low-risk perception of workers and dearth of communication between institutes and regulator.

Is abusive supervision harmful to organizational environmental performance? Evidence from China

Employee proactive working behavior such as organizational citizenship behavior is important to improve organizations’ various outcomes. With the increasing attention to sustainable development, employees’ organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) begins to be an important topic in the environmental management field. However, the possible antecedents, processes and consequences of OCBE among employees remain unclear. Drawing on social exchange theory and synthesizing perspectives of leadership, organizational citizenship behavior, and environmental performance, this research develops a conceptual model to investigate how abusive supervision affects employees’ OCBE, which in turn affects environmental performance. A multi-source matched sample from 151 senior managers and 1749 frontline employees working in China were used to examine the conceptual model. Results of structural equation modelling reveal that abusive supervision negatively affects employees’ felt obligation and positive mood at work, which in turn influences their OCBE and ultimately affects firm’s environmental performance. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

The effect of TTM-based nutrition education on decisional balance, self-efficacy and processes of change for fat intake

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to determine how transtheoretical model (TTM) constructions change through nutrition education for fat intake modification among overweight and obese women living in Shazand city, Iran.Design/methodology/approachA semi-experimental design with intervention and control groups (50 women in each group) was performed. TTM constructions for dietary fat intake were measured through a questionnaire in four phases: before the intervention, immediately, one month and six months after the intervention. Participants in two groups were classified into inactive and active subgroups, based on their determined stage of change. Then in the intervention group, each subgroup received a separate education program of five or eight sessions for the active and inactive subgroups, respectively.FindingsThe intervention resulted in significant progress in participants' stage of change compared to the control group (p = 0.002). Also, it resulted in an increase in the self-efficacy and decisional balance scores in both of the intervention subgroups, with these effects being more pronounced in the inactive subgroup, and these significant differences, compared to the control group, remained in the third and fourth phases. The intervention also positively impacted the behavioral processes, but this effect was not so long-lasting and decreased after six months.Originality/valueThe results indicated the intervention effectiveness and the necessity of planning educational interventions to change fat consumption behavior. This study provides further insight into effective and sustainable nutrition education strategies based on behavioral change stages rather than traditional approaches. These methods should be used to design group interventions to change individuals' health behavior in future works.

Study and Analysis of Advanced 3D Multi-Gate Junctionless Transistors

As the IC technology is evolving very rapidly, the feature size of the device has been migrating to sub-nanometre regime for achieving the high packing density. To continue with further scaling of ICs, some novel devices such as multiple-gate silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices, Gate-All-Around (GAA) nanowire and Nanotube MOSFETs have been proposed by researchers in recent years. The short channel transistor below 10 nm needs to have ultra-sharp junctions at source and drain ends with the channel region. The creation of such a sharp junction is quite challenging process from fabrication point of view. Therefore, junctionless transistors (JLT) were proposed to eradicate junction’s related issues, exhibit full CMOS functionality. The multigate junctionless transistors have been proposed, designed and fabricated. This paper illustrated basic working mechanism and behaviour of the various single and multi-gate junctionless MOSFETs. Junctionless nanowires transistor with single circular gate and gate material engineered techniques has also been explained. From simulation results, it has been observed that junctionless Nanotube GAA MOSFET has shown superior electrical behaviour over the Nanowire GAA MOSFET. Junctionless GaAs-Nanotube MOSFET has shown tremendous response over Junctionless Si-Nanotube MOSFET in terms of leakage and ON current. Junctionless GaAs-Nanotube MOSFET may be observed as alternate candidate for future CMOS applications.

More specifically, a friendly and innovative climate did have a positive effect on employee creativity, wellbeing and working behavior, which are essential for a productive workforce.

NON-TRIVIAL DYNAMIC REGIMES OF SMALL (NANO-SCALE) QUANTUM SYSTEMS

Small (but still containing many atoms) quantum systems (traditionally termed nano-systems) are dramatically different from their macroscopic or genuine microscopic (atomic) cousins. Microscopic molecular systems (with a few atoms) obey a regular quantum dynamics (described by time dependent Schrodinger equation), whereas in macroscopic systems with continuous energy spectra, one can expect, also regular, although typically relaxation, dynamic behavior. The topic of our paper is in-between these limits. System behavior becomes non-trivial and manifests a sort of transitions between regular and chaotic dynamics. We show that such dynamic transitions occur when the Loschmidt echo time of life exceeds the typical recurrence cycle period. We illustrate this behavior in the frame work of a few versions of the exactly solvable quantum problem, proposed long ago by Zwanzig. It is based on the study of time evolution of the initially prepared vibrational state coupled to a reservoir with dense spectrum of its vibrational states. In the simplest version of the Zwanzig model, the reservoir has an equidistant spectrum, and the system - reservoir coupling matrix elements are independent of the reservoir states. We generalize the model to include into consideration the coupling of the initially prepared single state to system phonon excitations. The coupling results to temperature dependent broadening and decay of the echo components. Another generalization is to replace a single level by two states coupled to the Zwanzig reservoir. We anticipate that the basic ideas inspiring our work can be applied to a large variety of interesting for the applications nano-systems (e.g., dissipative free propagation of excitations along molecular chains, or as a model for exchange reactions).

Anti-corruption management in a government institution as an element of anti-corruption policy in Ukraine

It is noted that the increase in corruption crimes among employees of public institutions requires changes in approaches to anti-corruption policy in the management of the organization. It has been announced that it is expedient for anti-corruption management to enter state bodies in accordance with the state anti-corruption policy, using corruption risks, increasing public confidence in state bodies, and being implemented in various state bodies taking into account the specifics of each. Given the high urgency of the issue for Ukraine, there is a lack of scientific work to determine the best ways to solve problem situations. The purpose of the article is to analyze anti-corruption management in a public institution as one of the components of anti-corruption policy in Ukraine. Anti-corruption management is described as an element of strategic planning. It ` s role in the formation of a positive image, a strong business reputation of the state institution is considered. The directions of realization of the anti-corruption management system are presented. The interpretation of the concepts of «management» and «anti-corruption management» is presented. The tasks of anti-corruption management are listed and characterized. The importance of implementing the provisions of the anti-corruption management program for the development of corporate culture is described. The destructive phenomenon in anti-corruption management is considered – «frustrating tolerance», which negatively affects the formation of an effective management strategy. The importance of identifying corruption risks when planning anti-corruption measures is noted. The key aspects that need to be taken into account when identifying corruption risks in the organizational and managerial activities of a public institution are considered. The list of documents, the maintenance of which is necessary within the framework of anti-corruption management, is noted. The expediency of observing certain stages of the fight against corruption, taking into account the specifics of the public sector, is outlined. The system of compliance and its content are characterized as one of the most effective approaches to the implementation of anti-corruption management. The principles on which each of the groups of anti-corruption measures should be based are indicated. Emphasis is placed on the expediency of focusing anti-corruption management on the formation of a conscious attitude of each employee of a state institution to good behavior, quality and transparency of work, its governing bodies and the activities of its employees. A meaningful description of the content of the implementation of anti-corruption policy in personnel management through the prism of the formation of a negative attitude to corruption, training and implementation of measures to disseminate information on anti-corruption programs, includes the following system of measures . Options for organizing training and exchange of experience among employees of government agencies on the prevention of corruption in the performance of professional duties are considered. In conclusion, it should be noted that the issue of quality anti-corruption management for Ukrainian government agencies is a priority issue and requires the development of a system of effective measures taking into account the specifics of each sector.
