Influence of Person-environment Fit on Work Passion of University Graduates

At present, low passion for work is a difficult problem in human resource management. This paper breaks the research inertia of scholars in dissecting the relationship between fit and passion for work from the perspective of multiple conflicts, and explores the relationship between person-environment fit and the influence of different fit on passion for work. Through the investigation of 402 university graduates of different levels, the results show that: person-organizational fit, person-job fit, person-leader fit and harmonious work passion, obsessive work passion are positively correlated. The results of this paper provide a new explanation for the generation of work enthusiasm and provide practical guidance for solving the management problem of low work enthusiasm.

Being Real: How and When Authenticity at Work Effects Interpersonal Deviance

While research on ‘authenticity at work’ is gaining scholarly attention, the understanding on how authenticity at work shapes dark interpersonal outcomes such as interpersonal deviance still is at nascent stage. Building on self-determination theory, we posit that the relationship between authenticity at work and interpersonal deviance is mediated through dual pathways of work passion. Moreover, we identify network support and promotion focus as a boundary condition to the effects of both forms of work passion on interpersonal deviance. Two wave data collected from employees and their supervisors supports the mediation effects for the dual pathways of work passion including harmonious work passion and obsessive work passion. High network support and low level of promotion focus exacerbates the negative effects of harmonious work passion while the effects of obsessive work passion remained unmoderated. Overall, we broaden the impact of authenticity at work on dark interpersonal behaviors.

Harmonious work passion and work-related internet information seeking among nurses: The mediating role of intrinsic motivation.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between nurses' harmonious work passion and work-related internet information seeking. In doing so, we examine intrinsic motivation as an underlying mechanism of this relationship. Nurses seek and utilize information to respond effectively to their tasks and to develop their skills and competencies. Internet consists one of the easiest and richest sources of information. Both nurses and organizations need to identify potential antecedents of work-related internet information seeking. Data were collected from 239 nurses and nurse assistants in a Greek University hospital and were analysed using bootstrap analysis with PROCESS macro. Harmonious work passion was positively related to intrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation related positively to work-related internet information seeking. The mediating role of intrinsic motivation was also supported. Nurses with harmonious work passion seek more regularly work-related information on the internet because they experience high levels of intrinsic motivation. Health care organizations and managers need to recruit passionate nurses and cultivate a workplace culture that will trigger higher levels of harmonious work passion. Recruitment tools and methods such as interviews, situational judgement tests or role playing could be very beneficial towards uncovering potential candidates with an elevated passion for their work.

Jorge Debravo (1938-1967): A dead poet in Costa Rican literature?

In this academic article dedicated to the 53 years of physical death of the Turrialbeño poet Jorge Debravo, a literary critical study is presented on the poem “I do not offer you peace, brother man” (1994), which has not been analyzed in any academic document in charge of studying his life and work. This writing is a source worth studying. It carries a Debravian metaphor that has come to life over the years: man as brother or in other words, the request for union of Costa Ricans to work in harmony for peace and social justice. Also attached is an analysis of a recent poem created in dedication to Jorge Debravo: “Brother Jorge”, by Heco (2019), to support the inexhaustible survival of the Debravian figure through his poetry made God and the need to preserve their social criticim ideas over the years.

Teachers’ well-being from the social psychological perspective

<span lang="EN-US">School is an important organizational unit in a country. School is also the foundation of every country’s education system. A harmonious working environment and a healthy relationship are very vital to ensure the high quality of teachers’ work. Issues in the workplace can lead to low performance, job dissatisfaction, loss of happiness, stress, and many other mental health issues. Teachers’ well-being is greatly influenced by comfortable, healthy, and happy conditions. Hence, this study aims to examine well-being among teachers in National Secondary Schools (SMK) and Government Funded Religious Schools (SABK) based on the quality of teachers’ working life such as psychological, social, political, and economic needs. This was quantitative research with a survey method using questionnaires as the instrument. The respondents of the study comprised 300 teachers in a district in Kelantan, Malaysia. The respondents were chosen based on a random sampling technique. The results of the study showed that the level of teachers’ well-being is high. There were no differences regarding the level of teachers’ well-being between SMK and SABK.</span>

Effect of Time-Restricted Feeding on Body Weight and Cardiometabolic Risks: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Introduction: Time-restricted eating (TRE) or time-restricted feeding (TRF), a form of intermittent fasting (IF) when food consumption is restricted to a 4–12 hour window, poses unique possible health benefits that allow the nutrient to work in harmony with circadian rhythm. Whether TRF is effective in weight loss and cardiometabolic profile compare to usual diet is controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized control trials to investigate the weight and metabolic effects of TRF in humans. Methods: The systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. The literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL from database inception to November 30, 2020. The search terms included time restricting feeding, time-restricted eating, periodic fasting, intermittent fasting, and periodic fasting. The eligibility criteria included a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the effect of TRF as an intervention and control diet on weight and cardiometabolic risks in individuals with overweight (BMI 23–26.9 kg/m2 in Asian and 25–29.9 kg/m2 in others) or obesity (BMI≥27 kg/m2 in Asian and ≥30 kg/m2 in others) with study duration of at least 8 weeks. The primary outcome is the change in body weight between preintervention and postintervention. The secondary outcome is the change in total fat mass and lean mass, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides. Pool mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for each outcome. Results: Four articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. There were 511 participants with BMI 24 kg/m2 and above and aged between 18 and 65. TRF was defined as a 4–8 hours ad-lib unrestricted eating in 24 hours. The control diet was defined as ad-lib eating per usual habits. There was a significant improvement in weight and body composition in the TRF group. The mean weight loss was -2.08 kg (95% CI: -3.49 to -0.68) greater among TRF group. There was a significant total fat mass and lean mass loss in the TRF group with the MD of -1.29 kg (95% CI: -2.04 to -0.54) and -0.59 kg (95% CI: -1.15 to -0.03), respectively. There was no significant change in HDL, LDL, or triglycerides comparing between TRF and control diet. Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis of RCT showed that TRF with no calories restriction resulted in significant decreased in weight, fat mass, and a slight decreased in total lean mass compared with control diet. Our findings support TRF as an effective lifestyle intervention for weight loss.

Attracting and Managing Talents in Modern Day Political Parties: Evidential Strategies from Nigeria’s Democratic Process

The broad objective of this paper was to explore the place of succession planning and talent management among political parties in Nigeria. Specifically, the paper seeks to determine the strategies for attracting and managing talents in modern political parties with the aid of empirical evidence from Nigeria’s electoral process. The study employed the survey method of research in which the data required for the study were collected through the instruments of questionnaire and in-depth interviews. Four dominant political parties were selected out of the current 63 registered political parties in Nigeria. Quota and stratified sampling techniques were mostly used in their sample selection; and samples of 400 respondents were selected. The data collected were presented, analyzed and interpreted through the use of tables, frequencies, and percentages. The findings of the study indicated that talents can be attracted to a political party and managed through a generous reward system, good working environment, membership development policy, authority delegation, challenging jobs and committee involvement, harmonious working relationship with party officials and hierarchies. Also, talents can be managed for a party’s survival using membership development policy, motivation and other retention strategies. Our test of hypothesis also indicated that a political party’s continuity depends on the application of these strategies. Based on these findings, the study suggested that political parties should take deliberate steps to put in place some motivational and staff/membership development policies that will expose its functionaries to global best practices in democracy and party management. Keywords: Party Management, Talent Management, Political Environment, Succession Planning, Democratic Process, Political Parties, Nigeria.

Impact of emotional intelligence on the career performance of managers: An applied study of principals in Shendi municipality of Sudan

Objectives: To study the effect of emotional intelligence on the job performance of high school principals in the municipality of Shendi, River Nile State, Sudan. Methods: This study was conducted using Dalip Singh's model of emotional intelligence in the managerial environment. The levels of emotional intelligence of managers have been studied in terms of the three components of the model (emotional sensitivity, emotional maturity, and emotional competence) and their impact on managers' ability to lead (work teams, relationship management, and the ability to motivate workers morally), as well as their ability to manage and resolve conflict. Methods: The researcher adopted the descriptive and analytical approach that relies on collecting data on the phenomenon and its interpretation using the SPSS statistical program for data analysis (2018-2020). questionnaire was used to obtain the opinions of the study sample consisting of (20) secondary education managers, using the comprehensive survey method. Findings: The most important finding, emotional sensitivity comes in the first place in terms of influencing job performance effectiveness (leadership, relationship management, ability to motivate, as well as conflict management and resolution); Moreover, 91% of the respondents considered to have a very high level of emotional sensitivity. Improvements/ Applications: The study concluded that managers have the ability to manage the current environment, work in harmony with others and achieve interest in them: the reason for this is that they have this advantage. Value: This is one of the first studies to be conducted in this region to analyze the impact of emotional intelligence on education managers.

Organizational Climate and Job Performance: Investigating the Mediating Role of Harmonious Work Passion and the Moderating Role of Leader–Member Exchange and Coaching

Organizational performance has made it imperative for rural and community bank management to employ the best organizational conditions that influence employee’s performance. Recent banking clean-up in Ghana has also emphasized the need for employees’ performance. This has become necessary to espouse management practices, employee behaviors, and attitudes that predict job performance. Drawing on social exchange theory and reciprocity norm, the study examines the effect of organizational climate on job performance. Valid responses received through a structured questionnaire were 431. Hierarchical multiple regression was employed to validate the hypotheses from the literature review. Relying on empirical data from Ghana, the findings revealed that, first, harmonious work passion partially mediated organizational climate and job performance relationship. Second, leader–member exchange negatively moderated the relationship between organizational climate and harmonious work passion. Finally, however, coaching as a management practice positively strengthened organizational climate and job performance relationship. The theoretical and practical contribution is also discussed.

Explaining the effect of work–nonwork boundary management fit on satisfaction and performance at home through reduced time‐ and strain‐based work–family conflict

AbstractThis two‐study paper examines how employees' work–nonwork boundary management fit influences their performance in and satisfaction with their family life, through the experience of time‐ and strain‐based work–family conflict. We performed two studies with working parents (N = 160 and N = 158, respectively) using a different time lag and applied structural equation modeling techniques to analyze the data. In Study 1 (time lag: 12 months), our results show that work–nonwork boundary management fit relates to family satisfaction and performance through reduced strain‐based work–family conflict. In Study 2 (time lag: 1 month), we find a mediating effect of time‐based work–family conflict in the relation between work–nonwork boundary management fit and family satisfaction and a direct effect of work–nonwork boundary management fit on family performance. work–nonwork boundary management fit seems to have a short‐term effect on family outcomes (family satisfaction in particular) through time‐based work–family conflict, whereas the mediating effect of strain‐based conflict evolves more slowly over time. Our findings show that work–nonwork boundary management fit is to be taken into account when trying to establish a harmonious work–family interface as part of creating a sustainable workforce.

IMPACT OF PERSON-ORGANIZATION FIT ON JOB CRAFTING: EXAMPLE OF KONYA ORGANIZED INDUSTRIAL ZONE

The importance given to human resources in organizations is increasing day by day. It is the desired behavior in all organizations for employees to be compatible with the organization and be competent in their work. Employees are attracted and selected by organizations similar to them. In cases where employees work in harmony and exhibit similar characteristics with their organization, the effect of employees' person-organization fit on job crafting has been investigated. For this purpose, data were collected by simple random sampling method from 453 participants working in Konya Organized Industrial Zone and 416 survey data were used within the scope of the research. SPSS 24.0 package program was used in the analysis of the data obtained. For the purpose of the study, frequency analysis, reliability analysis, difference tests (t test and One Way Anova) correlation and regression analysis were applied to the data set. As a result of the study, significant differences (gender, marital status, age, working time and position) were determined in the perceptions of employees' personal-organizational harmony and job competence according to some demographic variables. With correlation analysis, a positive and significant relationship was found above the middle in the variables of person-organization fit and job crafting, and as a result of the regression analysis, a positive and significant effect of person-organization fit on job crafting was found.

Collegial Cooperation turns toxic: Its depth and breadth: What are the implications for higher education institutions (HEIs)?

Collegiality has been glorified as the strongest governance pillar for higher education institutions, especially in promoting independence of thought, impartial decisions on leadership, mutual respect, and providing peer support. However, the recent corporate culture recently adopted by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and a system that rewards individual accomplishments, together with decreased state funding had steadily weakened the collegial philosophy, while toxicity takes the center stage - thereby threatening unity, harmony and institutional visibility. As a result, institutions have turned toxic. Unfortunately, although easily identifiable, toxicity is a difficult phenomenon to deal with, especially in dynamic academia environment, performance-based pay and personal traits notwithstanding. The paper concludes that the lack of conclusive empirical research to establish the depth and breadth of toxicity has made it difficult for personnel to make defensible decisions. The paper recommends that institutions should prioritize institutional inquiry in order to address work related behavior – among others to negate unacceptable behavior that have persistently harmed individuals as well as the institutions. Finally, institutions should make collegiality part of all “Personnel decisions” that clearly stipulate flawless indicators and measures of toxic behavior, in order to enhance collegial, civil and harmonious work environment that promotes staff engagement, productivity and institutional stability.

Deeper Insight in Metastatic Cancer Progression; Epithelial-to- Mesenchymal Transition and Genomic Instability: Implications on Treatment Resistance.

Therapy resistance remains the major obstacle to successful cancer treatment. Epithelial-to- mesenchymal transition [EMT], a cellular reprogramming process involved in embryogenesis and organ development and regulated by a number of transcriptional factors [EMT-TFs] such as ZEB1/2, is recognized for its role in tumor progression and metastasis. Recently, a growing body of evidence has implicated EMT in cancer therapy resistance, but the actual mechanism that underlies this finding has remained elusive. For example, whether it is, the EMT states in itself or the EMT-TFs that modulate chemo or radio-resistance in cancer is still contentious. Here, we summarise the molecular mechanisms of the EMT program and chemotherapeutic resistance in cancer with specific reference to DNA damage response [DDR]. We provide an insight into the molecular interactions that exist between EMT program and DNA repair machinery in cancer and how this interaction influences therapeutic response. We review conflicting studies linking EMT and drug resistance via the DNA damage repair axis. We draw scientific evidence demonstrating how several molecular signalling, including EMT-TFs, work in operational harmony to induce EMT and confer stemness properties on the EMT-susceptible cells. We highlight the role of enhanced DNA damage repair system associated with EMT-derived stem cell-like states in promoting therapy resistance and suggest a multi-targeting modality in combating cancer treatment resistance.

Reading English Verse in Manuscript c. 1350–c. 1500 by Daniel Sawyer

Reviewed by: Reading English Verse in Manuscript c. 1350–c. 1500 by Daniel Sawyer Joel Fredell Daniel Sawyer. Reading English Verse in Manuscript c. 1350–c. 1500. Oxford English Monographs. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2020. Pp. xiv, 208. $80.00 cloth. Daniel Sawyer’s fine new book joins a host of codicological studies proliferating to the point that they begin to compete in sheer numbers with literary criticism. This state of affairs calls for new answers to an old question: what work does codicology do for the study of literature? Manuscript and textual scholars no longer lurk like trolls under the bridge of academic life, threatening unwary critics that their readings shall not pass; some of them now rank among the best known in the fellowship. Even undergraduates today are likely to attempt forays into the material culture of Middle English poetry along with their standard editions. All this exploration offers thick context and historical precision for students and [End Page 342] faculty. Yet those working in the contemporary trinity of codicology, paleography, and textual studies remain uncomfortable partners for literary medievalists who work in other areas, despite the well-known proclamations of a “new philology” for the field issued over thirty years ago (in the special issue of Speculum 65 [1990] edited by Stephen G. Nichols). Sawyer usefully questions whether codicology and literary criticism can be combined in method or work in harmony “without demanding that they do each other’s jobs” (11). He sees meaning generated from codicology to be “materially determined rather than arbitrary and . . . therefore not amenable to the semantic interpretation usual in literary criticism” (8). Many would argue that this ship has sailed, but Sawyer carves out space for his materialist study in the history of reading. He foregrounds two long poems of religious instruction that, despite their popularity in their own time, vie for the title of least read among scholars of Middle English: the Prick of Conscience and Speculum vitae. Sawyer points out that manuscript traditions and designs among these northern poems of religious instruction have received far less attention than the spectacular London manuscripts that helped to establish the poetry still dominating medieval studies. Prick of Conscience and Speculum vitae alone offer a huge body of evidence (Sawyer counts 128 surviving manuscripts of the first and 48 of the second) to understand how design decisions could reconstruct what constitutes “normal” book forms for producers and readers. After the introduction, Sawyer sets up a rhetorical structure that separates literary history from codicology: two chapters considering textual evidence bookending two chapters devoted to quantitative surveys. Chapter 1 compares his two central texts in terms of their strategies for religious instruction and methods of reading, with attention to some familiar issues. Were readers absorbing the text by means of groups reading aloud with or without a commentator, or by silent reading in private? Were readers taking on continuous chunks of text with a completist bent or locating short passages for meditation and possibly memorization? Did these texts function as “pricks” or goads as another means of internalizing their instruction in the scriptural sense of Paul’s conversion (Acts 9:5)? Sawyer sorts through the poems’ admonitions to tease out several key differences: psychic attacks pervade the Prick of Conscience but do not feature in the gentle compendium offered in Speculum vitae, for instance, prompting sustained narrative engagement or granular reading, respectively. Circulation and ownership evidence emphasize the diversity of readership, as well as the reading method, that both poems likely enjoyed. [End Page 343] The first of the codicological chapters turns to three categories of navigational aids: external, internal, and physical markers. Sawyer moves briskly through external summaries, tables of contents, and indices for his two poems. Internal navigation (sectional summaries and marginal glosses) passes by even more quickly, possibly because most of it is likely to be authorial rather than evidence of reading responses by producers and owners. Unsurprisingly, apparatus for Speculum vitae transmits much more successfully across time than apparatus for the Prick of Conscience, given the former’s affinity for ready reference. Nonetheless, Sawyer’s link between narrative type and the transmission of marginal apparatus opens up questions for all of Middle...

The narrative functions of sound-symbolic words in comics and graphic novels

ABSTRACT A story in a comic book employs different visual elements such as images, text, speech balloons, caption boxes, symbols, and sound effects. These elements work in harmony to convey the narrative to the reader. The Sound-Symbolic Words (SSWs), popularly studied as onomatopoeias, represent various sounds to enhance the visual narrative. This paper presents an analysis of examples from popular comics and graphic novels to provide an understanding of SSWs beyond their usage for conveying sound. It investigates the contribution of SSWs to carry forward the narrative, thus bringing SSWs to the forefront at par with image and text. This study attempts to redefine the role of SSWs and their significance in visual narratives. Various narrative functions of SSWs are identified and named as temporal-marker, spatial-marker, action-marker, emotion-marker, and identity-marker. The analysis helps to draw inferences about represented sound and its importance in printed comics. The study opens up possibilities for comic book artists to deliberate on the idea of SSWs as a narrative element and to implement them creatively to produce better visual narratives.

A importância da comunicação não violenta (CNV) nas organizações públicas

A Comunicação é imprescindível em qualquer contexto da vida humana, ocupando papel estratégico nas organizações devido à influência que exerce nas relações trabalhistas e nas condições do ambiente de trabalho. A incapacidade de se comunicar bem, especificamente dentro das Organizações Públicas (OP), gera diversos problemas organizacionais como dificuldades de relacionamento interpessoal no trabalho, violência verbal, clima organizacional deteriorado, problemas de saúde etc., além de impactar na qualidade dos resultados finais dos serviços. Neste contexto, o presente estudo visa avaliar a importância da Comunicação Não Violenta (CNV) na mitigação de tais problemas e na construção de um ambiente de trabalho mais colaborativo, saudável e harmônico nas OPs. Para elaboração do estudo, fez-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura existente sobre o assunto. O uso da CNV, ferramenta desenvolvida com o intuito de melhorar as relações interpessoais, torna-se uma tática na busca pela redução de algumas características negativas presentes no serviço público, como ambientes autoritários, excessivamente burocráticos e centralizados. Diante do exposto na literatura, conclui-se que o uso da CNV nas OP pode contribuir para a melhoria do clima organizacional, da qualidade de vida dos servidores e dos serviços entregues à sociedade.

Harmonizing the Domains of Loss‐Driven Systems Engineering

ABSTRACTSystem characteristics include what it is (structure, state), what it does (function, behavior), where it resides (environment, containing whole), what it uses (resources, energy source, raw material), what it contains (content), and why it exists (value delivery). An adversity produces a disturbance that can induce stress in a system so it may suffer some loss within one or more of these characteristics. Loss‐driven systems engineering (LDSE) is an approach to address systemic loss in all forms helping ensure value delivery. LDSE domains include reliability, sustainability, survivability, risk management, resistance, resilience, agility, safety, and security which all work in harmony to avoid, withstand, and recover from loss. Traditional systems engineering treats these as separate domains with varying degrees of detail, rigor, and results. LDSE proposes consolidating these domains for a comprehensive, cohesive, and consistent approach to address system loss. This paper establishes interrelationships among the LDSE domains to harmonize role, fit, function, and impact among the domains focusing on sustaining value‐delivery.
