Employers most desirable attributes in early-career physiotherapists: a content analysis of job advertisements

BackgroundEnsuring a sufficient, appropriately qualified health workforce is of global concern. Understanding the attributes that employers seek is critical in recruitment, retention, and educational design. In physiotherapy, there is a dearth of evidence on desirable attributes that employers seek from early-career physiotherapists. This study directly addresses this gap. The aims of this study were to identify the characteristics of the jobs advertised for early-career physiotherapists in Australia; determine which attributes were most desired when employing an early-career physiotherapist; and identify if there were differences in the attributes required based upon workplace location.MethodsNew graduate and early-career physiotherapy job advertisements were collected for six months from 1st October 2020 until 31st March 2021 from SEEK.com.au, a large online employment marketplace that operates across ten countries in the Asia Pacific and Latin America. Job advertisements needed to specify new graduate or early-career physiotherapist eligibility and be located within Australia. Data extraction were completed using QuestionPro®. The Modified Monash Model was used to classify rurality of job location. Job advertisements were analysed descriptively and using content analysis to identify attributes.ResultsThe search yielded 578 job advertisements with the greatest number collected in October 2020 (25.3%). Of the advertisements, 428 (74.0%) were in metropolitan locations (Modified Monash 1), 47 (8.1%) were in regional (Modified Monash 2), 99 (17.1%) were in rural locations (Modified Monash 3–5), and 4 (0.8%) were in remote locations (Modified Monash 6–7). Most roles were in private practice (63.3%) or aged care (21.7%). The top five attributes requested by employers were client focus, communication and interpersonal skills, team player, willingness to learn, and being able to build rapport, relationships, and networks. Academic results, resilience, and empathy were the least requested attributes. Differences in requested employability attributes increased with rurality.ConclusionsThis study addresses the current knowledge about attributes sought by employers for early-career physiotherapists. The most prevalent attributes requested were client focus and communication and interpersonal skills. This exploration of attributes can help to better prepare graduates for their first roles, align expectations, and increase understanding of priorities for entry level university programs, as well as identify priorities for support during transition to practice. Desired attributes should be clearly defined by employers in recruitment and retention processes.

Psycho-semantic analysis of job advertisements as a communicative tool of educational marketing

Introduction. The relevance of the study of job advertisements for teachers and psychologists is associated with the need to find tools for regulating communication within the modern educational environment with dynamic, constantly changing working conditions. The publication of employer requirements sets the direction for changing the criteria for the success of the specialist, which changes the entire educational environment. The purpose of the study: to identify the categorical semantic structure of job advertisements for teachers (using the example of the "Infrastructure of Scientific Research Data" platform). Materials and methods. The object of the study was a corpus of teacher job vacancies from the "Infrastructure of Scientific Research Data" platform, published in 2023 in 83 regions of Russia (5561 vacancies). The job postings included descriptions of candidate requirements, information about the offered salary, and the region in which the vacancy was available. As a comparison group, a corpus of psychologist job vacancies (2076 vacancies) was considered. The following methods were used in the study: 1) Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) method for identifying and analyzing the structure of requirements presented in teacher and psychologist job vacancies; 2) Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) method for categorical semantic analysis of the structure of teacher and psychologist job vacancies and description of the semantic framework (frame) of the job description; 3) Descriptive statistical methods for analyzing the needs of professionals in helping professions in different regions of Russia and the conditions offered to them. The results of the study. The regions of the Russian Federation with the greatest need for teachers and psychologists have been identified. Based on the statistical significance in the collection of text documents, the most demanded skills of teachers by employers are identified: methodological development and design of an individual educational route (0.167), work with children with disabilities (0.144), organization of the educational process (0.089). For vacancies of psychologists, the most significant were: work on investigative actions (0.319), methodical work in an educational organization (0.187), psychological and pedagogical support for successful development and training (0.129). The main meanings governing professional pedagogical activity are more focused on meta-skills based on the values of inclusion and continuous improvement of education, as well as on flexible skills (Soft skills) that increase competitiveness in various fields of pedagogical activity. In the vacancies of psychologists, professional skills (Hard skills) are relevant, applicable in specific areas, which somewhat narrows the scope of professional implementation. Conclusion. The results of the empirical study allow for considering job vacancy advertisements as one of the communicative tools of educational marketing. Analyzing the significant professional skills from the employer's perspective will enable the development of recommendations for the development of professional communication for teachers, which can be considered in the system of continuous professional education, as well as in regulating interaction within the educational environment. Automated analysis of job vacancies can become a successful interactive diagnostic tool for educational marketing, necessary for the development of the educational space and the improvement of the competitiveness of educational institutions.

The Attractiveness of Employee Benefits in Agriculture from the Perspective of Generation Z

This article addresses the pressing issue of attracting Generation Z to the agriculture sector in the Czech Republic, a vital issue given its crucial role in ensuring food security and sustainability. During demographic changes and declining interest from younger generations to work in agriculture, it is essential to understand and meet the specific needs of this generation. This article examines the alignment between advertised employee benefits and the preferences of Generation Z, offers a new employee benefits categorization, and highlights possible interventions to increase the attractiveness of the agricultural sector in the labor market. Based on a literature review, quantitative content analysis of job advertisements, and a questionnaire survey, the research aims to evaluate the current offers of employee benefits in the agricultural sector in the Czech Republic in terms of their attractiveness and how they are perceived by Generation Z before then categorizing these employee benefits. The results show that benefits from the “Holiday and times off” category have the highest value for Generation Z and that, on the contrary, they value benefits from the “Benefits for work–life balance” category the least. A total of seven categories of employee benefits have been newly identified.

Exploring the expectations of the product manager role: the case of the Hungarian software industry

Stakeholder-driven development has become significant in the software industry. As a result, product managers have taken on a crucial role in IT projects by considering the demands of stakeholders, business objectives and knowing available technological solutions. The theoretical section of this article provides an overview of the evolution and characteristics of the product manager role. This paper empirically explored the various expectations towards product managers through the example of the Hungarian software industry by the content analysis of job advertisements (n=212) from LinkedIn. The identified patterns show that the product manager role differs depending on the size of the company. The results show that as the size of a company increases, leadership and active listening skills become increasingly important. On the other hand, micro- and small enterprises demonstrate the highest level of responsibility regarding cooperation. The findings of this article can offer valuable guidance for future product managers.

LANGUAGE CHOICE AND LANGUAGE PREFERENCES IN PROFESSIONAL DISCOURSE (BASED ON THE TEXTS OF JOB ADVERTISEMENTS)

The subject of this article is language practice in the context of Kazakhstan’s labor market. The article provides a brief overview of the language policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan having a direct impact on language practice and the process of commodification of the Kazakh language in general. The article presents an analysis of job advertisements to identify the demand for the language in the labor market. It should be noted that the results of the study reflect the current situation (2023 is the period of the experiment). The results were obtained using content analysis and discourse analysis. The experiment led to the conclusion that the Kazakh language has become a valuable skill in the labor market, but at the same time, the greatest part of written business communication is carried out in Russian. The authors see the prospect of research in a longitudinal study of the process of commodification of the Kazakh language in the aspect of marketing linguistics, as well as research into the specific characteristics of the text of advertisements from the perspective of sociolinguistics, linguistic pragmatics, text linguistics, and discourse theory. Key words: language policy, discourse, language skill, the Kazakh language commodification, language choice.

Breaking the institutional logic or going under - Controllers and sustainability

PurposeThe present paper aims to focus on the role which German controllers play so far in the process of sustainable transformation in for-profit organizations, the current obstacles to a wider engagement here and ways to overcome these obstacles.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis combines two qualitative study designs. Empirical data is generated via a job advertisement analysis and an explorative survey with 107 subjects from management accounting/controlling and sustainability management. The generated data is interpreted against the background of the theory of institutional logics and Abbott’s (1988) theory of professional jurisdiction.FindingsWe find that controllers are in a state of tension. On the one hand, the pressure to integrate sustainability into companies is increasing. On the other hand, they seem to be rather reluctant to get involved. The institutional logics that shape their profession play an important role here, as does an unclear relationship with the sustainability department, which has its own claims here. Based on these observations, we identify the core obstacles to the transformation of the controllers’ profession and discuss solutions which can guide the transformation of this profession.Originality/valueThe present paper provides insights from a unique combination of different quantitative study designs and different perspectives on the possible role that controllers can play in advancing sustainable transformation in companies.

Occupations and Preoccupations of the Australian Library Profession: An Analysis of Job Advertisements and Professional Literature

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper was to find out how knowledge and skills in demand by libraries compare with librarians’ preoccupations and aspirations. Two sets of data were analysed using content analysis. A) 972 criteria in 127 Australian library-related job advertisements (from 2021) were coded against ALIA’s Foundation knowledge for entry-level library and information professionals. B) 465 articles published in INCITE (an Australian professional LIS magazine) from 2018 to 2020 were mapped against the framework afforded by the IFLA Trend Report 2019 Update. From the ten domains in ALIA’s foundation knowledge, behavioural skills were the most sought domain in the job advertisements (84.3% of advertisements), followed by those of leadership and management (58.3%), digital technologies (49.6%), and literacies and learning (22%). Professionalism (5.5%) and research (14.2%) were the least sought domains. Of the three key trends identified by IFLA, the top preoccupation in the professional literature was found to be ‘dealing with uncertainty’ (60.2% of articles). This is the first study to analyse both job advertisements and professional literature and map them against expected professional competencies and the sector’s emerging trends.

Enhancing Skills Demand Understanding through Job Ad Segmentation Using NLP and Clustering Techniques

The labor market has been significantly impacted by the rapidly evolving global landscape, characterized by increased competition, globalization, demographic shifts, and digitization, leading to a demand for new skills and professions. The rapid pace of technological advancements, economic transformations, and changes in workplace practices necessitate that employees continuously adapt to new skill requirements. A quick assessment of these changes enables the identification of skill profiles and the activities of economic fields. This paper aims to utilize natural language processing technologies and data clustering methods to analyze the skill needs of Lithuanian employees, perform a cluster analysis of these skills, and create automated job profiles. The hypothesis that applying natural language processing and clustering in job profile analyzes can allow the real-time assessment of job skill demand changes was investigated. Over five hundred thousand job postings were analyzed to build job/position profiles for further decision-making. In the first stage, data were extracted from the job requirements of entire job advertisement texts. The regex procedure was found to have demonstrated the best results. Data vectorization for initial feature extraction was performed using BERT structure transformers (sentence transformers). Five dimensionality reduction methods were compared, with the UMAP technique producing the best results. The HDBSCAN method proved to be the most effective for clustering, though RCBMIDE also demonstrated a robust performance. Finally, job profile descriptions were generated using generative artificial intelligence based on the compiled job profile skills. Upon expert assessment of the created job profiles and their descriptions, it was concluded that the automated job advertisement analysis algorithm had shown successful results and could therefore be applied in practice.

The changing role and competence profiles of strategic oriented jobs in times of product-service systems and business analytics: An analysis of job advertisements

Product-service systems (PSS) and business analytics (BA) are associated with the opportunity to improve the organizational performance but also with challenges, especially their organizational integration. However, literature and practice lacks an investigation of the roles and required competences for strategic oriented jobs on corporate or department level in times of PSS and BA. Hence, we perform a text mining analysis of job advertisements in order to develop an overview of the roles and competences as well as contribute to longitudinal studies on strategic oriented jobs. Our analysis reveals, the influence of PSS and BA on the profiles of strategic oriented jobs. Thus, the relevance and importance of key competences and the general relevance of strategic oriented jobs in times of PSS and BA can be determined. In summary, our results can be used as guidelines for research and practices like insights regarding the relevant qualifications for the recruitment and training.

Piilokääntäjät esiin

In this paper, we investigate the contexts, frequency, and actors of paraprofessional translatorial action in Finland through three pilot studies. The results of our two surveys and one job advertisement analysis indicate that paraprofessional translation is common across sectors and fields and performed under a wide variety of job titles. While translation rarely features explicitly in job advertisements for non-translator positions, we were able to uncover examples of, for example, communications, marketing, and secretarial roles in which translation was a named task. However, when we surveyed professionals of diverse fields, we discovered that translatorial action was in fact extremely common in expert professions and ranged from simple exchanges to demanding tasks such as the translation of highly specialised texts into an L2. Journalists are a common and increasingly researched example of an expert group that produces great amounts of texts through a translatorial process. While research has sometimes pointed to a lack of awareness and identification of translation among journalists, the pilot group in our study was predominantly aware of its significance. Furthermore, in an analysis of the languages involved, we found support for the key role of the English language in the Finnish working life.

ВРАЧЕБНЫЕ КАДРЫ МОСКОВСКОГО РЕГИОНА: ОСНОВНЫЕ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКИ И ТРЕБОВАНИЯ РАБОТОДАТЕЛЕЙ

Based on available statistical data, the key characteristics of the medical personnel of the Moscow area – both Moscow and the Moscow region – are described. The analysis of the labor market in the healthcare sector of the Moscow area is carried out through the prism of “forms of ownership of a medical institution” (public and private) and “type of medical institution” (outpatient and hospital). Based on the data of content analysis of job advertisements posted by employers on the hh.ru resource, the authors reveal requirements that are announced to doctors by employers and the conditions offered to potential employees in public and private medical institutions. Private clinics focus on more comfortable working conditions, additional benefits and guarantees, career opportunities, however, the requirements that they present to doctors are much higher than at public medical institutions. That, in turn, allows a private employer to be in a more advantageous position in the labor market, competitive in the fight for highly qualified medical workers. Employers in the healthcare sector react very quickly to the changes taking place, trying to be adaptive and to reduce all kinds of risks, both for doctors and for patients. According to that, employers influence changes in the labor market: they declare new requirements for doctors and offer special working conditions.

Gigification of English Language Instructor Work in Higher Education: Precarious Employment and Magic Time

AbstractThis article describes how discourses of professionalism, insecurity, and exploitation among English as a second language/English for Academic Purposes (hereinafter ESL/EAP) instructors and curriculum‐level administrators at two Canadian universities relate to their understanding of fair work. These understandings are examined in a nested manner, in keeping with social positioning theory. Via discourse and thematic analysis of job advertisements and semi‐structured interviews, we illuminate aspects of the gigification of ESL/EAP in Canada, wherein ESL/EAP instructor work is increasingly rendered un(der)paid, constantly evaluated, surveilled, and precarious. Viewed through the lens of “magic time,” an infinite category of work time, we document the frustrations of ESL/EAP instructors who recognize their own exploitation. The relevance of this study is described in relation to the growing numbers of international students at English‐speaking universities throughout the world requiring a robust program infrastructure supporting their success, while the ESL/EAP instructors who provide these programs are increasingly made disposable through contingent employment relationships. The increasing reliance on contract professors teaching for‐credit courses in higher education has come to be known as adjunctification. In the noncredit, the more marginal context of ESL/EAP instructors subject to the forces of international student supply and demand, underpaid even by contract faculty standards, and engaged in often cutthroat competition for the few remaining contracts, we reference contextual differences by calling it gigification.

Implementation of professional skills into technical education programs.

There are limited contemporary Canadian studies regarding the inclusion of professional skills into technical education. Contentions include what skills are requisite and/or prioritized in various industries. This research sought to explore this gap with a range of academic and industry stakeholders. This mixed methods study encompassed questionnaires, document analysis, and interviews/focus groups and included faculty members, students, and industry member representatives. There were 595 who completed the quantitative component and 56 individuals who participated in the qualitative interviews. Questionnaires included learner exist surveys, employer satisfaction surveys, and professional skills ranking instrument. Document analysis of job advertisements supported the development of the instruments. Interviews explored stakeholder nuanced perspectives. Academics, leaders, and industry representatives recognized the importance of integrating professional skills to two-year technical programs, but identified these were not always intentionally taught. While skills were deeply valued, there were barriers to reaching consensus across stakeholder groups about the “set” of skills. Finally, it would require a concerted effort by leaders, teaching academics/instructors, industry representatives, and curriculum designers to select which skills to integrate into the program and support to teach and assess these skills to maximize graduate outcomes. A proposed model – the Model of Professional Skill Development in Technical Education Programs – was created designed to integrate both professional and technical skills within program design and implementation. This model be useful to subject matter experts, curriculum designer, leaders who are keen to ensure integration, teaching and graduate success, and students who want to optimize their success in transitioning from learner to employed graduate.

The professional identity of accountants – an empirical analysis of job advertisements

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate to what extent the professional identity of accountants, as manifested in a set of advanced cognitive, emotional and social intelligence competencies relevant to their professional activities, varies with the respective accounting position.Design/methodology/approachThe systematically developed, formally clearly structured job advertisements for accounting positions provide content-rich representations of those holding the advertised position and thus contribute to revealing the professional identity. This study conducts a content analysis of 600 profiles of accountants presented in job advertisements of German organizations to identify the characteristic set of advanced cognitive, emotional and social intelligence competencies, juxtaposing different accounting positions at various stages of professional life. German organizations were targeted because they traditionally clearly differentiate between financial accounting and management accounting.FindingsThe job advertisements suggest that accountants develop a multifaceted professional identity reflecting their area of specialization and their level of entry. Financial accountants are more likely to be team-oriented than management accountants, and non-executive accountants are more likely than executive accountants. Analytical thinking seems to characterize management accountants rather than financial accountants. An independent way of working appears to be more pronounced among financial accountants than among management accountants.Originality/valueThis study refines the understanding of the professional identity of accountants by exploring the recruitment of accountants, the initial step of professional socialization. It identifies the most relevant advanced cognitive, emotional and social intelligence competencies based on a broad sample of job advertisements for accounting positions in organizations of different sizes and industries. By contrasting the competencies relevant to different positions and at different stages of their professional lives, it becomes evident that distinct professional identities of accountants coexist. The relevant competencies may be developed during higher education and continuing professional education. They may also be incorporated into individual performance evaluations and used as the basis for promotion decisions.

Multidimensional analysis of job advertisements for medical record information managers.

The rapid growth of the medical industry has resulted in a tremendous increase in medical record data, which can be utilized for hospital management, aiding in diagnosis and treatment, medical research, and other purposes. For data management and analysis, medical institutions require more qualified medical record information managers. In light of this, we conducted an analysis of the qualifications, abilities, and job emphasis of medical record information managers in order to propose training recommendations. From online job posting sites, a sample of 241 job advertisements for medical record information management positions posted by Chinese healthcare institutions were collected. We conducted word frequency and keyword co-occurrence analysis to uncover overall demands at the macro level, and job analysis to investigate job-specific disparities at the micro level. Based on content analysis and job analysis, a competency framework was designed for medical record information managers. The most frequent keywords were "code," "job experience," and "coding certification," according to the word frequency analysis. The competency framework for managers of medical record information is comprised of seven domains: essential knowledge, medical knowledge, computer expertise, problem-solving skills, leadership, innovation, and attitude and literacy. One of the fundamental skills required of medical record information managers is coordination and communication. Similarly, knowledge and skill requirements emphasize theoretical knowledge, managerial techniques, performance enhancement, and innovation development. According to organization type and job differences, the most crucial feature of the job duties of medical record information managers is cross-fertilization. The findings can be utilized by various healthcare organizations for strategic talent planning, by the field of education for medical record information managers for qualification and education emphasis adjustment, and by job seekers to enhance their grasp of the profession and self-evaluation.
