Post-traumatic growth and trauma-informed care in vocational rehabilitation through the lens of the conservation of resources theory.

Trauma has high prevalent rates in populations of people with disabilities, and the effects of traumatic experiences can negatively impact employment. The purpose of this article is to review the existing literature regarding post-traumatic growth (PTG), trauma informed care (TIC), and the conservation of resources (COR) theory. We begin with an overview of PTG, TIC, and trauma in relation to disability and employment. Then, we review the personal, condition, object, and energy resources within the COR theory. The remainder of the article focuses on applying PTG and TIC in State-Federal VR programs with a theoretical framework defined by COR. We conceptualize the application in four major VR phases: (a) eligibility determination, (b) rehabilitation plan development, (c) service provision, and (d) job placement. By implementing TIC and considering the consumer's resources, VR counselors can help emphasize PTG throughout the process and prioritize PTG as the ultimate goal. The authors provide brief and preliminary implementation recommendations for VR counselors.

Facilitators and barriers to engaging with the DREAMS initiative among young women who sell sex aged 18–24 in Zimbabwe: a qualitative study

BackgroundAdolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are at high risk of contracting HIV and exchanging sex for financial or material support heightens their risk. In Zimbabwe, the DREAMS initiative integrated education and employment opportunities within HIV health promotion and clinical services for vulnerable young women, including those who sell sex. While most participants accessed health services, fewer than 10% participated in any social programmes.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with 43 young women aged 18–24 to understand their experiences of engaging with the DREAMS programme. We purposively sampled participants for diversity in level of education, type and location of selling sex. We analysed the data by applying the Theoretical Domains Framework to explore facilitators and barriers to engaging with DREAMS.ResultsEligible women were motivated by hopes of escaping poverty, and their longer-term engagement was sustained through exposure to new social networks, including friendships with less vulnerable peers. Barriers included opportunity costs and expenses such as transport or equipment required for job placements. Participants also described pervasive stigma and discrimination related to their involvement in selling sex. Interviews highlighted the young women’s struggles in a context of entrenched social and material deprivation and structural discrimination that hindered their ability to take up most of the social services offered.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that while poverty was a key driver of participation in an integrated package of support, it also constrained the ability of highly vulnerable young women to benefit fully from the DREAMS initiative. Multi-layered HIV prevention approaches such as DREAMS that seek to alter complex and longstanding social and economic deprivation address many of the challenges faced by YWSS but will only succeed if the underlying drivers of HIV risk among YWSS are also addressed.

From endpoints to trading zones: Multi-directional exchange for computational empowerment in computer science education

In this paper we build on a conceptual framing of computational empowerment that seeks to provide alternative endpoints for computer science (CS) education beyond degree attainment and job placement. But, as opposed to a teleological framing that prioritizes ends, we propose using the metaphor of trading zones to construct a framing for computational empowerment that is based on collaborative multi-directional exchanges of resources and knowledge between people with different expertise. This leaves the co-design and implementation of CS education open to emergent directions and possibilities. Using a descriptive case study methodology, we detail trading zones in two different co-design projects that sought to situate CS education in relationship to cultural contexts through multi-directional exchanges of resources and knowledge: (1) a co-design project in a youth boxing gym with coaches, mentors, and staff; (2) a co-design project in a high school barbering program with a barbering instructor and barbering students. Our findings show that the metaphor is useful for the concept of computational empowerment in ways that are reflexive and interventionist.

The purpose of this study was to explore problems and suggest solutions of the job creation project through the delivery and the placement process targeting participants with disabilities, implementing organizations, and participating organizations to suggest a stable project expansion strategies. Subjective questionnaires and focus group interviews were conducted for a total of 16 people with disabilities who had participated and experts who had experience in the project for more than 2 years, and the keyword analysis method was applied. The research results are as follows. Difficulties in the delivery process and improvement strategies include restrictions on recruitment of participants and service organizations, difficulty in securing placement organizations, difficulty in job placement and matching, and lack of a professional management system. Difficulties in the placement process and improvement strategies revealed the limited numbers of jobs, the lack of continuity from the project to private job employment, and the absence of a professional management system and dedicated manpower. Based on the results, this study suggested future development of the project.

Dark Triad and Counterproductive work Behavior in Pakistan: The mediatory role of Perceived Organizational Fairness complemented by Organizational Climate

The counterproductive work behavior (CWB) often affiliated with darker personality traits, such as narcissism and psychopathy, has been the subject of numerous studies. Yet, a knowledge gap exists in the mechanisms elucidating these associations. Historically, these links have been explored within the realms of organizational politics and accountability. In contrast, our study introduces a theoretical construct that delves into the ethical dimension, seeking to explicate the relationship in the context of organizational fairness. The central argument posits that the Dark Triad—comprising narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—negatively influences Perceived Organizational Fairness (POF). This reduced POF, in turn, adversely impacts CWB while concurrently fostering positive Organization Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Furthermore, the dark triad's impact on CWB/OCB is supplemented inversely/proportionately by the presence of an Ethical Organizational Climate (EOC). This suggests that a robust ethical climate attenuates the dark triad's adverse effects on CWB. The empirical validation of this theoretical construct was accomplished through a survey-based, closed-ended questionnaire, with data derived from 290 employees predominantly associated with private sector enterprises. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were employed for data analysis. Our findings indicated a significant correlation between Machiavellianism and psychopathy (within the dark triad) and CWB/OCB. Simultaneously, EOC was found to moderate the negative relationship between Machiavellianism and OC. Contrarily, POF was not discerned as a mediating factor between the dark triad and CWB/OCB. These findings underscore the role of an ethical organizational climate in mitigating the onset of counterproductive work behavior in the presence of dark triad personality traits. The study's findings recommend integrating psychometric testing into recruitment processes, aiding in identifying candidates exhibiting dark triad traits. Right job placements could potentially convert these traits into positive contributions, promoting organizational success. This proactive approach in recruitment helps curb counterproductive behaviors and enhances overall workplace harmony.

Including Children with Visual Impairment in General Class: Teacher’s Lived Experience

This study aimed to explore the perception of general teacher with the major challenges while teaching students with visual impairment in general class. The qualitative research design with hermeneutics phenomenology was employed in the study. It also delineates how general teacher of integrated school use potential resource to assimilate children with visual impairment in mainstream setting. Four teachers from two integrated schools located in Kathmandu valley having different disciplines were purposively selected. The profound interview had been conducted in face to face situation through open ended questions in their existing position. The interview responses were transcribed as verbatim and triangulated among participants. The data were analyzed by using narrative analysis and thematic technique to develop theme under the insight of literature review. From the teacher’s narratives, unusual behavior, problem of intention, uncertainty of job placement and unwillingness of reading were deduced as major challenges to include children with visual impairment in general class. The essence of study contributes to over[1]view the challenges and adopts appropriate strategies to create inclusive environment in regular classroom. This also energize teacher to professional development from the lens of diversity management approach. The essence of study can contribute to set up inclusive atmosphere in regular class room and to energize professional development from the lens of inclusive approach.

Emotional intelligence and fraud tendency: a survey of future accountants in Nigeria

PurposeThis study examines the association between emotional intelligence (EI) and the tendency of future accountants to rationalize and engage in occupational fraud.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts a survey methodology and uses a questionnaire containing a fraud scenario and EI construct to gather data from 225 participants. It performed a Cronbach alpha to assess the measurement parameters consistency of EI and fraud tendency and employed Pearson correlation and regression analysis to test its hypothesis.FindingsThe study found that future accountants in Nigeria are emotionally intelligent and have a high fraud tendency. Also, it found a significant and positive association between EI and fraud tendency, suggesting that future accountants that are emotionally intelligent have a higher tendency to rationalize and engage in occupational fraud. In addition, the study found that academic intelligence, a control variable, positively associates with fraud tendency.Practical implicationsThe study offers rare insights into the fraud tendency of future accountants, which would benefit the counter fraud community in Nigeria and other developing countries. Recruiters and employers will find the study beneficial in decision-making on job recruitment, placements and moral orientation for prospective accountant employees.Originality/valueThe study is the first to directly associate EI with the fraud tendency of future accountants from a developing country with high fraud profile and underdeveloped counter fraud strategy. Thus, it provides a benchmark for future studies in other developing countries.

Does Employment Complexity Promote Healthy Cognitive Aging in Down Syndrome?

Adults with Down syndrome (DS) experience high risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but there is variability in the timing of transition from a cognitively stable state to prodromal AD and dementia. The present study examined the association between a modifiable lifestyle factor, employment complexity, and cognitive decline across two time points in adults with DS. Employment complexity, defined as the degree of problem-solving or critical thinking required for employment activities, was operationalized using the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, a system which classifies occupations based on three categories: Data, People, and Things. Eighty-seven adults with DS (M = 36.28 years, SD = 6.90 years) were included in analyses. Partial correlations revealed that lower employment complexity involving People and Things were associated with increased dementia symptoms. Lower employment complexity involving Things was also associated with memory decline. These findings have implications for vocational programs focused on job training and placement for adults with DS.

Realizing the Narrative: Higher Education Strategies as Creative Economy Agents in Indonesia

The development of the creative economy in Indonesia encounters several obstacles, including regulatory issues and government protection, as well as the need for more technological knowledge and innovation owned by business people. Higher education academics, as intellectuals, play an essential role in developing this creative economy, considering that academics are very closely related to science, technology, and research innovation. This article will discuss Indonesia's creative economy and how people perceive it. Furthermore, it will look at the importance of higher education as a printer for young entrepreneurs in the sector. This article examines two aspects of curriculum development based on the creative economy and work placements for young entrepreneurs. It will then demonstrate how young graduates can be empowered to build creative economy careers. This research uses a literature review as the design. Five articles were taken as the data sources for this study. The results of the study show that to create young creative workers, higher education must create a curriculum that is based on the creative economy and is oriented towards; competency-based, facilitating creativity, skills, and talents possessed by students, and there is a balance of soft science and hard science for future tertiary graduates. In the narrative of job placement for young creative workers, every tertiary institution is trying to connect and even be able to create business opportunities in various sectors of the creative economy without looking at the economic and social factors of these young creative workers.

Interventions for work participation of unemployed or work-disabled cancer survivors: a systematic review

Background: Supporting unemployed or work-disabled cancer survivors in their work participation can have extensive individual and societal benefits. We aimed to identify and summarise interventions for work participation of unemployed or work-disabled cancer survivors. Methods: Five databases (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Cochrane Library) were systematically searched for quantitative studies on interventions aimed at enhancing work participation of unemployed or work-disabled cancer survivors. Work participation refers to participation in the workforce, fulfilling one’s work role. Manual and automatic screening (with ASReview software) were performed on titles and abstracts, followed by manual full-text screening. Data were extracted regarding study, patient and intervention characteristics, and work participation outcomes. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Cochrane RoB2 and QUIPS tools. Results: We identified 10,771 articles, of which we included two randomised controlled trials (RCTs), of which one feasibility RCT, and three cohort studies. In total, 1862 cancer survivors were included, with predominantly breast cancer. Work participation was mainly measured as time to return to work (RTW) and RTW rate. Interventions included components of coaching (e.g., psychological or rehabilitation), training (e.g., building confidence and managing fatigue) and self-management. Two RCTs with unclear RoB did not show an effect of multicomponent interventions compared to care as usual. One cohort study found a significant effect of a psycho-educational intervention on RTW rates, with moderate RoB. The other two cohort studies, with moderate RoB, reported significant associations between components including job search and placement assistance, and work participation. Discussion: Only few interventions aimed at enhancing work participation of unemployed or work-disabled cancer survivors, have been evaluated. In two cohort studies, promising components for future multicomponent interventions were identified. However, findings suggest that more evidence is necessary on such multicomponent interventions, in which elements explicitly directed at work and including the workplace should be included.

Deep Learning-Based Job Placement in Distributed Machine Learning Clusters With Heterogeneous Workloads

Nowadays, most leading IT companies host a variety of distributed machine learning (ML) workloads in ML clusters to support AI-driven services, such as speech recognition, machine translation, and image processing. While multiple jobs are executed concurrently in a shared cluster to improve resource utilization, interference among co-located ML jobs can lead to significant performance downgrade. Existing cluster schedulers, such as YARN and Mesos, are interference-agnostic in their job placement, leading to suboptimal resource efficiency and usage. Some literature has studied interference-aware job placement policy, but relies on detailed workload profiling and interference modeling, which is not a general solution. In this work, we present Harmony, a deep learning-driven ML cluster scheduler that places heterogeneous training jobs (either with parameter server architecture or all-reduce architecture) in a manner that minimizes interference and maximizes performance (i.e., training completion time minimization). The design of Harmony is based on a carefully designed deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework enhanced with reward modeling. The DRL integrates a dynamic sequence-to-sequence model with the state-of-the-art techniques to stabilize training and improve convergence, including actor-critic algorithm, job-aware action space exploration, multi-head attention, and experience replay. In view of a common lack of reward samples corresponding to different placement decisions, we build an auxiliary sequence-to-sequence reward prediction model, which is trained with historical samples and used for producing reward for unseen placement. Experiments using real ML workloads in a Kubernetes cluster of 6 GPU servers show that Harmony outperforms representative schedulers by 16%–42% in terms of average job completion time.

Augmenting the flipped classroom experience by integrating Revised Bloom's Taxonomy: A faculty perspective

AbstractIn a recent scenario, the Master of Business Administration (MBA) job placement rates have decreased since the pandemic started. MBA job placement rates are down since the pandemic started. What’s most alarming: the decline in MBA jobs (34%) has been steeper than the decline in overall jobs (27%), for the period between May 2019 and May 2020. The mere delivery of theoretical concepts, lack of practical knowledge and lag in imbibing soft skills have been identified as hurdles in the progress of MBA education. Some of the predominant industry‐needed skills need to be improved among MBA students. To address this issue, the author suggests integrating flipped classrooms with the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT) as a new paradigm for delivering MBA education. The flipped classroom is a pedagogical approach in which direct instructions move from group learning to individual learning. This study primarily aims to understand the faculty perception of the pre‐, in‐ and post‐class activities facilitated using an integrated model of a flipped classroom and RBT (FC+RBT) among MBA students. The study's target population is the faculty members working in MBA institutions across Tamil Nadu, India. The findings of this study will be helpful for MBA institutions to enhance the quality of MBA education and empower management graduates to imbibe employability skills.

THE ROLE OF CAREER COUNSELORS IN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

"Passing from school to the labour market requires support, advice, and guidance. The rapid advancement of technology in the maritime industry, the wide range of duties, and ever-changing job placement from ashore to remote sites or on board vessels, put many treats on the future employees. This article describes how career counselling is integrated into the process of supporting VET learners in making decisions about future careers in three European countries and how this process is perceived by learners. The research comprised a literature review to reveal the approach with regard to career counselling and analysis of data collected with a survey questionnaire. The 88 responses emphasized learners' views regarding the career counsellor’s actual role and provided an understanding of their expectations for making the transition toward the labour market. The questions addressed groups of people that decided to continue their studies and get a job and those undecided. Participants explained the motivator factors for making the career choice, the main sources of career information, and their expectations from the future job. This article explores the extent to which the professionals and counsellors would contribute to making the decisions and the types of interaction that are expected to produce positive results and engagement. The results indicate that teachers and parents are currently contributing to making the final career decision. Even though, the input of professionals is highly expected by all groups of participants. Respondents emphasized that challenges, dynamism in the workplace as well as the variety of tasks are those factors that would make them stay in a job. The authors concluded that to be effective, the career counselling of young learners needs to be enriched with jobspecific insights provided by professionals. The research conclusions draw up the VET learners' main expectations that can be used to guide further career counselling activities. "
