Influência da Organização do Trabalho nos Riscos Psicossociais: uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura

Introduction The various changes that have occurred in recent decades have directly affected the health of workers, especially the psychosocial risks that cause physical or psychological illness. Psychosocial risk factors are important in the health care process, including how work is organized, time arrangements are determined, social relationships occur, and content and workload are structured, in terms of mental and social demands for each worker. Objective Verify the influence of work organization on the psychosocial risks of workers. Methodology A systematic review of the literature was performed using Methodi Ordinatio, which allowed the ranking of relevant works on the subject. Thirteen papers were selected for an in-depth analysis. Results The rate of mental and behavioral disorders is higher, respectively, in the Brazilian states of Rio Grande do Norte, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Distrito Federal, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Bahia, São Paulo and Paraná; with public administration workers being the most affected. It was demonstrated that the main causes of psychosocial risks are related to the working day (long hours and intense work rhythm), followed by lack of resources and problems of interpersonal relationships. Discussion and conclusion Measures to prevent psychosocial risks will depend on the situation with which the risk is associated, and organizational intervention in the prevention and management of these risks is of great importance.

Acceptance of circular entrepreneurship: Employees’ perceptions on organizations’ transition to the circular economy

The Circular Economy (CE) - based on five principles (reduce, reuse, refurbish, repair, and recycle) - has received increased attention in both academia and practice in recent years. The transition to CE by public and private organizations can be seen as an entrepreneurial act encompassing their strategic policies, business models, structures, and processes. Little is known about the involvement of employees of organizations making this transition. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of organizations’ commitment to the five CE principles on their employees’ perceptions of the usefulness, ease of implementation, and acceptability of the principles. The method used is exploratory, a mixed-method approach combining PLS-SEM and fsQCA. This research contributes to the field by developing a unified theoretical perspective on the entrepreneurial context. It also highlights the impact of CE principles on organizations that are transitioning to more sustainable development.

The effect of political influence on corporate social donations: Evidence from party-building reform in China

As a new exploration of corporate governance in China's non-state-owned enterprises (NSOEs), the effect of "Party Building into Articles of Association" (PBAA) in the decision-making of NSOEs has not yet been verified. Based on hand-collected data on PBAA in NSOEs, this paper investigates the impact and constraints of PBAA on decision-making in NSOEs by using the external event of corporate donations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show that PBAA has embedded the party organization into the corporate governance system of NSOEs, affecting the decision-making of NSOEs effectively, thus boosting the social donations of NSOEs during the epidemic period. Meanwhile, the extent of PBAA is constrained by the original level of corporate governance and entrepreneurial identification. These findings remain robust after controlling for possible endogeneity issues. In addition, further research suggests that the more detailed the content of PBAA is, the higher the probability of substantial donations in epidemic situations in NSOEs.

The effect of using group-averaged or individualized brain parcellations when investigating connectome dysfunction in psychosis.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is widely used to investigate functional coupling (FC) disturbances in a range of clinical disorders. Most analyses performed to date have used group-based parcellations for defining regions of interest (ROIs), in which a single parcellation is applied to each brain. This approach neglects individual differences in brain functional organization and may inaccurately delineate the true borders of functional regions. These inaccuracies could inflate or underestimate group differences in case-control analyses. We investigated how individual differences in brain organization influence group comparisons of FC using psychosis as a case study, drawing on fMRI data in 121 early psychosis patients and 57 controls. We defined FC networks using either a group-based parcellation or an individually tailored variant of the same parcellation. Individualized parcellations yielded more functionally homogeneous ROIs than did group-based parcellations. At the level of individual connections, case-control FC differences were widespread, but the group-based parcellation identified approximately 7.7% more connections as dysfunctional than the individualized parcellation. When considering differences at the level of functional networks, the results from both parcellations converged. Our results suggest that a substantial fraction of dysconnectivity previously observed in psychosis may be driven by the parcellation method, rather than by a pathophysiological process related to psychosis.

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A U.S. AND GERMAN SHORT VERSION OF THE LATER LIFE WORKPLACE INDEX (LLWI-S)

Abstract Employment of older individuals becomes more important in demographic change. To identify organizational practices that foster the motivation, health, and performance of older employees in particular, an efficient holistic assessment of relevant organizational factors is needed. The 80-item Later Life Workplace Index (LLWI) provides such a measure for organizational practices for older employees by differentiating nine domains. The LLWI has been applied in emerging research in various research contexts and countries. However, it is quite a lengthy measure. Therefore, this paper describes the development and validation of the LLWI-S, a 29-item short measure covering all nine domains in order to achieve a more efficient instrument. The development of the short version was both, judgemental- and statistics-driven. A focus group consisting of the original LLWI-authors and several international scholars, whose research expertise lies in the field of employment and older employees, has developed the LLWI-S. A German- and an English-language version of the LLWI-S have been validated in Germany and the U.S. Reliability and model fit for the U.S. and the German version as well as multi-group CFA for measurement invariance will be presented. Results show that the measures have good internal reliability and model fit. We provide researchers and practitioners with a validated short measure to efficiently assess all nine relevant organizational domains for older employees. Researchers can utilize the LLWI-S to gain a comprehensive understanding of all relevant areas of organizational influences on later life work, while practitioners are able to assess their organizational readiness for an aging workforce.

Creative potential of future social workers: formation in the dual form of education

The development of the national social sector, its progressive ideas are largely ensured not only by professionalism, but also by the creative activity of social workers in the performance of professional functions and the realisation of social expectations of the society. The content of creativity in the implementation of social work technologies is revealed in the following qualities of a specialist: creativity, the ability to successfully combine valid, time-tested and experienced effective ways of working with non-traditional methods of work. The latter are formed only under the influence of effective organisation of the practical component of the educational process. The article analyses the possibilities of developing the creative potential of social workers through the organisation of practical research as part of course and qualification work, as well as during project activities. Attention is focused on the extent to which student research based on real-life practical situations can contribute to the development of creativity and professional competence. The authors note that creativity and practical research are unknown structures and require a tolerant attitude to uncertainty. It is noted that uncertainty can be overcome by taking into account the conditions: the problem and obstacles to its solution are determined by clear criteria obtained through empirical research; when conducting student research in the framework of dual education, attention should be paid to certain conditions that provide students with a reliable basis. It is stated that the possibility of acquiring the creative potential of a specialist and providing simple research tools and strategies is possible through expanding students' practical capabilities and supervisory support for research projects with elements of reflection and feedback from the teacher.

Organizational dominance and the rise of corporate professionalism: The case of management consultancy in the UK

Abstract While recent debates about the professions have noted the pervasive influence of organizations, less is known about how this plays out at the macro or occupational level. In this paper, we address this concern, focusing on corporate professionalism (CP) as an emergent form which appears to be shaped by organizational interests. Drawing on relational perspectives of professions, we focus on the strategies of two associations in the UK management consultancy field over a 50-year period. Our analysis of archival and interview data reveals how, over time, both associations substantially modified their strategies in response to shifting priorities of firms employing large numbers of consultants—abandoning early commitments to occupational professionalism in favor of a corporate form. A key contribution of the paper is to develop a process model for understanding how and why CP emerges. We also highlight the need to pay more attention to the often neglected role of employing organizations in accounts of professional formation in contemporary society.

Релігійний чинник у формуванні правової ідеології

The article clarifies the influence of the religious factor on the formation of the legal ideology of Ukrainian society in modern realities, which often has an ambiguous and contradictory character in the formation of the newest mechanism for the realization of human and citizen rights and freedoms. The approach to the religious factor based on the principle of political theology makes it possible to use the factor of religious organizations and the church in the process of building a nation-state in Ukraine, which is of enormous importance for the formation of a strong, democratic and legal state that is able to protect national interests and confront threats to national security. This approach also makes it possible to consider Ukrainian religious organizations and churches as an element of Christian civilization, where there is a place for Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants. This approach creates a platform for cooperation within Western institutions (EU, NATO) of states dominated by different Christian denominations. It has been proven that Christian norms and religious legal awareness are formed in objective conditions and closely interact, and therefore influence legal awareness, shape the perception of members of society about their rights and obligations, about the proper legal order. From its side, legal consciousness affects religious norms, determines the practice of their application in the interests of believers, religious communities in the latter's realization of their religious interests, determining the nature of law enforcement, rule-making activity, the mechanism of legal regulation, etc. That is, Christian norms act as the most important regulators of various social relations, factors in the formation of legal norms, the attitude of individuals to legal institutions and the manifestation of illegal or lawful behavior. It was noted that the influence of religious organizations and churches is changing and transforming into new ideas, legal and political. The structural component of ideology is the religious basis, and this does not apply exclusively to theocratic and clerical states, since religious norms have become the basis of the moral foundations of society. Despite the fact that in the digital age, religious values, although they lose their former meaning as a "sacred image" of the world, and even if they do not have a direct impact on the legal system, they still play an important role in legal life, because the European legal culture was created under the influence Christianity, the Christian view of the world. And modern European legal systems function in a social system that has absorbed Christian religious values.

Conceptual Model of Compensation as Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction in Manufacturing Company

The research uses a literature review approach to investigate factors that influence innovative behavior in the startup environment. Through the analysis of various criteria, such as age, gender, educational level, professional experience, and corporate culture, the study aims to understand how individual characteristics and the organizational environment influence employee innovation in the context of startups.The findings of this study show that innovative behavior tends to appear in young startups and in the process of self-development. However, as we age, innovation may become less popular because of the perception that the younger generation is better suited to lead change.The importance is stressed that gender does not have a significant influence in determining innovative behavior; job performance is not always gender-related. On the contrary, a person's educational level and creative approach to work play an important role in inventive behavior. Ethnicity, on the other hand, does not significantly affect inventive behavior.Organizational culture proves a vital role in supporting innovative behavior. Building a culture that promotes creative thinking and the development of new products is an important factor. Job satisfaction also affects inventive behaviour; employees are more likely to innovate in companies that nurture a culture of innovation and prioritize job satisfaction.Leadership plays a key role in promoting innovative behavior. Leaders who motivate employees with their own example of innovation can inspire others. Therefore, in order to foster innovative behaviour in startups, it is important to consider human factors and create a culture that supports innovation. Developing an innovative culture can be an important strategy in facilitating the growth and success of a startup business.

Pengaruh Kompetensi, Kompensasi dan Komitmen Organisasi Terhadap Kinerja Karyawan

The success of a company can be judged by the level of performance in managing its human resources. When employee performance is managed properly, it will help achieve business standards and provide maximum benefits for the company. The objectives of this research is to determine the extent to which competence, compensation, and organizational commitment influence employee performance. The research was conducted at the company PT Trisensa Mineral Utama in Kutai Kartanegara with associative quantitative methods. The entire population is used as a sample because the number is small, namely 60 employees. Data collection techniques were obtained from the result of distributing questionnaires, observations, and interview. As for testing the data using the help of IBM SPSS 27 software with analysis techniques including instrument testing, classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression testing, and hypothesis testing. The results showed that both partially and simultaneously the competency, compensation, and organizational commitment variables had a significant effect on employee performance at PT Trisensa Mineral Utama.

Building a Multimodal Classifier of Email Behavior: Towards a Social Network Understanding of Organizational Communication

Within organizational settings, communication dynamics are influenced by various factors, such as email content, historical interactions, and interpersonal relationships. We introduce the Email MultiModal Architecture (EMMA) to model these dynamics and predict future communication behavior. EMMA uses data related to an email sender’s social network, performance metrics, and peer endorsements to predict the probability of receiving an email response. Our primary analysis is based on a dataset of 0.6 million corporate emails from 4320 employees between 2012 and 2014. By integrating features that capture a sender’s organizational influence and likability within a multimodal structure, EMMA offers improved performance over models that rely solely on linguistic attributes. Our findings indicate that EMMA enhances email reply prediction accuracy by up to 12.5% compared to leading text-centric models. EMMA also demonstrates high accuracy on other email datasets, reinforcing its utility and generalizability in diverse contexts. Our findings recommend the need for multimodal approaches to better model communication patterns within organizations and teams and to better understand how relationships and histories shape communication trajectories.

A CONCEPTUAL OF STUDY ON RADICAL PERSUASIVE COMMUNICATION: A RISK FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Radical organisations frequently target young adults, especially college students, to enlist them as cadres for their movements all over the world. They are recruited in a variety of ways, with the use of cyberspace being particularly prevalent. These extremists no longer use face-to-face interactions in the physical world to promote extremism in the age of the internet. Instead, they use the internet and information technology. These radical groups frequently take advantage of the widespread use of the internet, social media, and social networking tools to spread their beliefs, advance their doctrines, identify and recruit potential cadres, and even to call for jihad against the West. The present study aims to explore the reasons for radical organisations in targeting young adults in delivering their propaganda. Meta-Analysis was conducted through a narrative review of findings from multiple primary research studies on various studies to derive more robust conclusions and identify patterns and consistencies across different studies. Factors contributed are idealism and passion, vulnerability, active and energy, access to education and resources as well as due to long-term commitment. Radical organisations exploit this idealism to recruit young adults who may be more willing to engage in radical activities to achieve their goals and also to provide the manpower needed to carry out their agendas. Additionally, college students may have access to resources, such as meeting spaces, funding, and a network of like-minded individuals, which can further the goals of radical organisations and the ability to provide a constant stream of recruits and sustain the organisation's activities over time as most young adults prioritise their education, personal growth, and other non-radical activities. Thus, it is crucial to promote critical thinking, media literacy, digital literacy and open dialogue to empower young adults to make informed decisions and resist the influence of radical organisations.

The art of the possible? Supporting a patient safety culture in mental healthcare to maximise safety

PurposeThe current national patient safety strategy for the National Health Service (NHS) in England states that actions need to be taken to support the development of a patient safety culture. This includes that local systems should seek to understand staff perceptions of the fairness and effectiveness of serious incident management. This study aims to explore the perspectives of patient safety professionals about what works well and what could be done better to support a patient safety culture at the level of Trust strategy and serious incident governance.Design/methodology/approachA total of 15 professionals with a role in serious incident management, from five mental health trusts in England, were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. Thematic analysis and qualitative description were used to analyse the data.FindingsParticipants felt that actions to support a patient safety culture were challenging and required long-term and clinical commitment. Broadening the scope of serious incident investigations was felt to be one way to better understand patient safety culture issues. Organisational influences during the serious incident management process were highlighted, informing approaches to maximise the fairness and objectivity of investigation findings.Originality/valueThe findings of this study offer original insights that the NHS safety system can use to facilitate progression of the patient safety culture agenda. In particular, local mental health trusts could consider the findings in the context of their current strategic objectives related to patient safety culture and operational delivery of serious incident management frameworks.
