Job Satisfaction Among Faculty in Standardized Residency Training Programs in Heilongjiang Province, China: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Job satisfaction among faculty in standardized residency training programs has been underexplored. The objective of this study is to investigate job satisfaction among these faculty members and identify associated determinants. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted with 4581 teachers in Heilongjiang Province from 18 to 30 May 2022, using a census method. The survey collected demographic information and assessed satisfaction using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form. Predictors of job satisfaction were identified using multiple linear regression analysis in SPSS 24.0. The survey achieved a 91.12% response rate (4174/4581). The average satisfaction score of the respondents teachers was 4.30±0.70. The top three items with the highest satisfaction scores were "the chance to work alone on the job" (4.46±0.68), "the way my job provides for steady employment" (4.45±0.68), and "the freedom to use my own judgment" (4.43±0.69). The lowest-scoring items "the chances for advancement on this job" (4.02±1.03), "my pay and the amount of work I do" (4.08±0.96), and "the praise I get for doing a good job" (4.10±0.93). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that geographical area, registered general subjects, age, administrative position, monthly income, daily working hours, and overtime frequency were significant factors influencing job satisfaction (P < 0.05). The level of job satisfaction among standardized residency training faculty in Heilongjiang Province was generally high. High satisfaction was associated with residing in economically developed areas, having registered general subjects, holding administrative positions, earning high income, working shorter few hours daily and having a low frequency of overtime.

Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial: Evaluating the Impact of Acupuncture on Menstrual Regulation and Pregnancy Enhancement in Patients with DOR Using Rs-fMRI to Assess Brain Functional Networks.

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is a noninvasive way to evaluate brain physiological activity by detecting blood oxygen level fluctuations. Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) indicates ovarian aging. Before 40, patients may have menstrual abnormalities, poor reproduction, and poor assisted reproductive results. Without treatment, it can cause early ovarian failure. Studies have shown that acupuncture can ameliorate sex hormones and antral follicle count (AFC) in DOR patients. Despite limited studies on its mechanism, acupuncture have been shown to treat DOR. There is no relevant research on brain functional magnetic resonance and brain functional connectivity of acupuncture in treating DOR. We design this clinical trial to preliminarily elucidate the neuroimaging method of controlling the brain functional network and acupuncture impact in DOR patients using rs-fMRI. This study will involve 30 DOR patients and 30healthy individuals. DOR patients will have rs-fMRI before and after 3 menstrual cycles of acupuncture, whereas healthy individuals will need one rs-fMRI scan. The primary end measures will be follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and AFC. In contrast, the secondary outcomes will be luteinizing hormone(LH), estradiol (E2), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), modified Kupperman scale, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and rs-fMRI alterations. This study uses rs-fMRI technology to identify the brain regions that differ between DOR patients and healthy people before and after acupuncture treatment. This study will connect brain regions, examine the effects of acupuncture on menstruation and pregnancy on DOR patients' brain function networks, and discuss neuroimaging methods. Acupuncture may have the potential to regulate menstruation and increase the chances of pregnancy promotion in patients with DOR.

What Are the Differences in Perception of Gender Disparities in Academia? A Survey of Academics from Russia

This study examines the perception of gender issues in academia in the Russian context. Specifically, the paper aims to reveal the criteria due to which academics might perceive gender-related problems in academia in different ways. The research was conducted among 901 men and women academics with Russian affiliation. The survey was presented as a 20-item anonymous online questionnaire with five major blocks, covering up various gender-related topics. By surveying men and women academics from the Russian academic environment, it reveals that most academics, in their perception, had never experienced gender inequality in the current workplaces. However, for those with such experience, the share of all given gender disparities women academics has ever encountered during their academic career is higher compared to men. The most common gender disparities, namely low chances for career promotion and barriers from rising to senior-level positions reflect career promotion gaps relevant for both men and women academics. The results also demonstrate that gender inequality is mostly not considered as a problem of academic environment but rather a social issue. In particular, most men academics and, to a lesser extent, women academics strongly disagree with considering gender inequality as the academic problem. The paper provides an example for addressing gender disparities issues for men and women academics and assessing perception of gender inequality and, conversely, equality.

Addressing Nursing Resignation: Insights From Qualitative Studies on Nurses Leaving Healthcare Organisations and the Profession.

The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of nurses who resigned from healthcare organisations or abandoned the profession and explore the reasons behind them. A systematic review of qualitative studies and meta-summary. Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase (Ovid), MEDLINE (Ovid), Social Science Citation Index (Web of Science), and Scopus. The search was conducted up to May 2024. Primary qualitative studies focused on nurses who had resigned or left the profession were included. The meta-summary was conducted using method: findings were extracted from the reports, edited, grouped, abstracted into key meta-findings, and finally, their frequency effect sizes were calculated. A total of 282 findings were extracted from 12 studies, generating 49 statements of findings that were aggregated into nine key meta-findings. Poor management practices presented a frequency effect size of 100%. Other key meta-findings included excessive workload, teamwork hurdles, health issues related to work shifts and difficulty in maintaining work-life balance, a lack of career growth opportunities and promotion chances, disillusionment with nursing, dissatisfaction due to salary, bullying and horizontal violence, and moral distress over ethical dilemmas. The findings can help support the development of targeted strategies and the implementation of effective policies aimed at reducing nursing turnover. The major impact of these findings is the recognition of rising factors that negatively affect nurses' quality of life, including workload pressures and poor management strategies, which significantly lower job satisfaction. To address these challenges, the profession should prioritise tools that value nurses in their roles, implement strategies to manage workloads more effectively and advocate for policies promoting flexible scheduling. Additionally, investing in professional development and fostering a supportive work environment can help retain skilled nurses and nurture the growth of new talent.

Policy perception, job satisfaction and intentions to remain in rural area: evidence from the National Compulsory Service Programme in China

BackgroundExploring factors that may influence general practitioners (GPs)’ intentions to remain in rural area is necessary to inform the training and placement of future medical workforce in rural area. However, little is known about how GPs’ perception towards the National Compulsory Service Programme (NCSP) and job satisfaction impact their turnover intention. This paper explores GPs’ intentions to remain in rural China and how their policy perception and job satisfaction predict the intentions.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional, online survey from December 2021 to February 2022 to investigate GPs’ perception towards NCSP, job satisfaction, and intentions to remain in rural area. Eligible participants were GPs who were required to provide health services as part of NCSP at township health centres of 9 provinces which could represent all NCSP GPs in China. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the associations between policy perceptions, job satisfaction, and intentions to remain.ResultsOf 3615 GPs included in the analysis, 442 (12.2%) would like to remain in rural area and 1266 (35.0%) were unsure. Results of the multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that compared with GPs who would leave, GPs with higher perception scores for the restriction on taking postgraduate exam (RRR: 1.93, 95% CI 1.72, 2.16) and the commitment to work for six years (RRR: 1.53, 95% CI 1.31, 1.78) were more likely to remain. In contrast, GPs who had higher perception scores for completing standardised residency training (RRR: 0.75, 95% CI 0.64, 0.88) and passing National Medical Licensing Examinations (RRR: 0.74, 95% CI 0.62, 0.87) were more likely to leave. GPs who were satisfied with the freedom of choosing work methods (RRR: 1.52, 95% CI 1.25, 1.84) and chances of promotion (RRR: 1.60, 95% CI 1.32, 1.94) were more likely to remain.ConclusionsThis study highlights the significance of policy perception and job satisfaction on GPs’ intentions to remain in rural area. Factors such as career advancement and the empowerment of GPs to build on and use their skills and abilities should be taken into account when designing rural placement programmes.

Women's Representation as Principal Investigators Among Pediatric Orthopaedic Clinical Trials: An Analysis of ClinicalTrials.Gov.

Despite recent efforts to increase the participation of women in orthopaedic surgery, there remains a gender gap, particularly when compared with other medical specialties. Acting as a principal investigator (PI) in a clinical trial can give physicians notable exposure and national recognition, which can improve their chances of promotion and tenure. This study aims to assess the proportion of women serving as PIs in pediatric orthopaedic clinical trials, examine associated trial characteristics, and explore geographic distribution. A cross-sectional analysis of clinical trials was conducted using data from the ClinicalTrials.gov registry. Specific search terms were used to identify pediatric orthopaedic trials. Data on trial characteristics, including phase, status, funding source, and intervention type, were collected. PI sex was determined using Genderize.io, an application program interface that predicts the sex of individuals based on their name, and the geographic distribution of women PIs was examined. From 2007 to 2022, women PIs increased from zero to 26.86%. The United States saw no significant increase (β = 1.553; P = 0.125), but international trials did (β = 2.845; P = 0.008). Women PIs led more active/completed trials and trials with behavioral/other interventions. Geographic analysis showed higher representation in North America (38.47%), especially the Northeast (28.17%) and West (25.35%). The United States had 28.74% women PIs, with California (15.49%) leading. Progress toward gender parity in pediatric orthopaedic research is evident; however, disparities still exist. Efforts to provide additional research opportunities for women in orthopaedics may be crucial in attracting and retaining diverse talent in the field. Targeted initiatives may have potential in achieving equal representation in orthopaedics.

The Effects of Client Importance and Career Concerns on Auditors’ Judgment Conservatism

ABSTRACT We examine how client importance affects judgment conservatism depending on auditors’ career concerns. We argue that auditors will interpret being assigned to a client of major importance as a more powerful signal of their promotion chances under strong competition than under weak competition for advancement and, hence, that they will consider their promotion opportunities to a greater extent in their judgments. We therefore predict that auditors exhibit more conservatism in their judgments regarding more important clients when competition for advancement is strong but not when it is weak. Using an experiment, we generally find results in line with this prediction. Unexpectedly, yet interestingly, we also find that less important clients are judged less conservatively under strong competition than under weak competition for advancement.

Employees’ perceptions of co-workers’ internal promotion penalties: the role of gender, parenthood and part-time

ABSTRACT Much research has focused on penalties by gender, parenthood and part-time work for hiring processes or wages, but their role for promotions is less clear. This study analyzes perceived chances for internal promotion, using a factorial survey design. Employees in 540 larger German (>100 employees) firms were asked to rate the likelihood of internal promotion for vignettes describing fictitious co-workers who varied in terms of gender, parenthood, working hours as well as age, earnings, qualification, tenure and job performance. Results show that promotion chances are perceived as significantly lower for co-workers who are women (gender penalty), mothers (motherhood penalty) and part-time workers (part-time penalty). Fathers and childless men (co-workers) are not evaluated differently (no fatherhood premium or penalty), and neither does part-time employment seem to be perceived as a double penalty for male co-workers. All three perceived promotion penalties are more pronounced among female employees, mothers and part-time employees. These findings show that employees perceive differential promotion chances for co-workers which indicate actual differences due to discrimination, selective applications or structural dead-ends. Either way, perceived promotion penalties are likely consequential in guiding employee’s application behavior and hence can contribute to the persistence of vertical gender segregation in the labor market.

Comparing Job Satisfaction Among Healthcare Workers at Emergency Departments and Primary Healthcare Units During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background The primary healthcare professionals' work description changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, as was the case of all other healthcare departmental operation systems. Objectives This investigation compares job satisfaction betweenemergency department (ED) and primary healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic to ascertain the possible effect of the pandemic on healthcare providers. Methods A cross-sectional online self-assessment questionnaire consisting of 36 questions was distributed using available social media to targetall frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) in emergency departments and primary healthcare centres in Riyadh. The inclusive criterion was that the respondents should have been frontline HCWs during the pandemic era. The questionnaire was validated by a pre-test of responses of 10 frontline HCWs. This was to ensure the comprehensibility and validity of the questions. Thereafter, necessary corrections were made to the final questionnaire. Responses were collected with an Excel sheet (MicrosoftCorp., Redmond, WA), while data were analysed with SPSS version23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) and GraphPad Prismversion 9.2.0(GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA). Results The targeted sample size was 400; however, 159 HCWs responded to the questionnaire and were thus included in the investigation. There were more male (60.4%) than female (39.6%) respondents, the majority of whom were Saudi nationals (86.6%) while the remaining were non-Saudi nationals working in the Kingdom. Also, 67% of the respondents were emergency medical service professionals while the remaining (23%) were primary healthcare professionals. Significantly, 71.8% of the respondents (p < 0.05) disagreed with adequate enumeration, rewards, and chances of promotion compared to those who agreed (28.2%) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Job satisfaction was not significantly correlated to gender or the work departments (p > 0.05). Respondents significantly (p < 0.05) agreed to the competence of their supervisors, and liked their colleagues and work environment. Conclusion The study has shown that although supervision during the pandemic era was with competence; however, hours of work put in by these frontline emergency professionals were not adequately remunerated. Also, the services they provide seemed not to have been appreciated and hence did not lead to promotion either. Therefore, there wasjob satisfaction.As expected, the workload was huge while chances of promotion were lacking. These observations could lead to a substandard service should there be another pandemic. There is a need for all stakeholders to look into this more cautiously should there be another pandemic.

Job satisfaction of primary healthcare professionals (public sector): A cross-sectional study in Morocco

Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are indispensable for improving the availability and quality of healthcare services. Therefore, the present cross-sectional study aimed to measure the job satisfaction of HCPs working in primary care (PC) centers in Marrakech, according to the job satisfaction scale. Using census sampling, this study involved HCPs working in PC centers. Data were collected using an electronic questionnaire and analyzes were performed using Jamovi (version 1.6). The Warr-Cook-Wall scale was used to assess the satisfaction of these professionals. Student's t-test, Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–Whitney non-parametric tests were used for group comparisons (p < 0.05). The lowest satisfaction scores were recorded for general practitioners (GPs) and nurses. These were work safety (1.54 ± 0.85 vs. 1.51 ± 0.82), salary (1.58 ± 0.79 vs. 1.72 ± 0.87), chance of promotion (1.68 ± 0.87 vs. 1.80 ± 0.93), possibility of using its capacities (1.90 ± 1.04 vs. 2.01 ± 1.08), and workload (1.88 ± 1.10 vs. 2.05 ± 1.06). A statistically significant difference was observed between different professional statuses regarding facility management (p = 0.049). The overall job satisfaction of HCPs was low, especially among GPs and nurses: the scores for intrinsic job satisfaction with respect to sociodemographic characteristics were low, whereas they were medium for extrinsic job satisfaction. Further research is warranted to clarify the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of job satisfaction in Morocco's healthcare sector.

The Correlation between Continuous Professional Development and Career Prospects of Technical University Lecturers in Ghana

The main objective of this study was to find the prospects continuous professional development offer to lecturers at technical universities in Ghana. The researcher used two technical universities for the research. The study was qualitative in nature with a sample size of four-eight, comprising of six deans of faculty, six heads of department and thirty-six lecturers. Two interview schedules were used to collect the data. One of the schedules was used to collect data from the deans and the heads of department and the other was used to interview the lecturers. Some of the findings included that CPD helps lecturers at technical universities in Ghana to improve their teaching, research and managerial skills and competencies. CPD helps lecturers to conduct research and do publications which enhances their chances for promotion. The study also revealed that lecturers who embark on CPD face financial challenges. That aside, they also face sociological and psychological challenges. Sociologically, those who leave for further studies may not be able to make time for the family members and social events and can mar their social ties. When such people become isolated due to inability to socialise, or ignored by friends and colleges it can bring about psychological problems. It is recommended that lecturers should collaborate with other colleagues for research activities and publications. Moreover, all lecturers should budget every each to at least to attend one conference or workshop a year. Keywords: Coaching, Competencies, Prospects, Profession, Promotion.

Deviation from the ideal worker norm and lower career success expectations: A “men's issue” too?

Career expectations of women and men have been documented extensively in both the career and the work-family literature, albeit very often focusing on women. This paper proposes to complement the existing work by shifting attention to men. Based on a French national survey and using multiple linear regression models with moderations, we examine the differential of career success expectations (CSE) — as measured by the perceived chances of promotion or wage increase — between men and women who face work-family conflict and use flexible work arrangements (teleworking and part-time work). We show that work-family conflict has a stronger negative influence on men's CSE than on women's, teleworking has a stronger positive influence on women's CSE than on men's, and part-time work has the same negative influence on both men's and women's CSE. This allows us to discuss the impact of the ideal worker norm on career success expectations and to show that a deviation from this norm has different effects on men's and women's career success expectations.

What are the key factors influencing newly graduated nurses' preference for choosing their workplace? A best-worst scaling approach.

The literature cites many factors that influence a nurse's decision when choosing their workplace. However, it is unclear which attributes matter the most to newly graduated nurses. The study aimed to identify the relative importance of workplace preference attributes among newly graduated nurses. A cross-sectional study. We conducted an online survey and data were collected in June 2022. A total of 1111 newly graduated nurses in South Korea participated. The study employed best-worst scaling to quantify the relative importance of nine workplace preferences and also included questions about participants' willingness to pay for each workplace preferences. The relationships between the relative importance of the workplace attribute and the willingness to pay were determined using a quadrant analysis. The order according to the relative importance of workplace preferences is as follows: salary, working conditions, organizational climate, welfare program, hospital location, hospital level, hospital reputation, professional development, and the chance of promotion. The most important factor, salary, was 16.67 times more important than the least important factor, the chance of promotion, in terms of choosing workplace. In addition, working conditions and organizational climate were recognized as high economic value indicators. Newly graduated nurses nominated better salaries, working conditions, and organizational climate as having a more important role in choosing their workplace. The findings of this study have important implications for institutions and administrators in recruiting and retaining newly graduated nurses.

Does Environmental Policy with Veto Power Lead to Heterogeneous Emission? Evidence from China

Under the high-powered target responsibility system since 2007, with newly added environmental criterion, this study seeks to examine the effectiveness of the target-based performance assessment as an accelerator for local officials to be “greener”. This coercive environmental policy incorporates a stringent “one-vote” veto criterion for cadre promotion, meaning that officials who exceed emissions standards will not be promoted, no matter how outstanding their other performances are. Based on a panel data of 106 observations of provincial party secretaries from 31 provinces, this study examines how the target assessment intervenes in pollutant emissions through a new career incentive mode in China, and the conclusions are as follows: (1) Usually, provincial officials with higher political promotion incentives are characterized as a younger, lower-position cadre during the pre-stage of term, and tend to take GDP growth goals as a priority while treating environmental targets negatively. (2) Target assessment moderates the relationship between officials’ position and SO2 emission. The use of a one-vote veto in environmental pollution assessments has led to a shift of incentive structure, as political actors prioritize environmental protection as a means of increasing their chances of promotion. (3) The moderating effect of target assessment is heterogeneous, being significant only when officials are below 60 or before the third year of their term. This study sheds light on the previously opaque motivations behind green behaviors among officials, and provides empirical support for China’s transition from a GDP-based assessment system to a green GDP-based promotion model.

Generative adversarial networks: A recent survey

The enormous potential of GANs has enabled their usage for a variety of diverse applications. In this survey, we highlight major applications that have been made throughout the years, including the creation of images for the visualization of stories, the repair of damaged or old photographs, the creation of 3D models, the translation of text into images, and more. The survey indicates several constraints and barriers to more consistent training as well as creating higher-quality pictures. For instance, some models may struggle to eliminate deformities like wave strikes. As GAN development goes on, there will be more chances for advancement and the emergence of new applications.
