CONTRATAÇÕES DE PROFISSIONAIS DA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: O QUE REVELAM OS EDITAIS DE MUNICÍPIOS DO ESTADO DO PARANÁ?

This article aims to problematize the relationship between training and the requirements for hiring early childhood education professionals, considering the professional profile, the workload of the contract, the salary and the duties. It stems from an inter-institutional research project entitled “Level of training and hiring of professionals for early childhood education in the state of Paraná: strategies adopted and implications for teaching”, which identified and analyzed the training requirement for hiring professionals working in early childhood education in four municipalities in two regions of the state of Paraná, via public examination notices. It is justified by its impact on the expansion of academic studies and social actions aimed at early childhood education in Paraná. Methodologically, we carried out a documentary analysis of the public notices published between 2009 and 2019, accessed via the city halls' official websites. We found that, although the requirement for training to work in early childhood education is a higher degree in Pedagogy, many municipal administrations issued public tender notices that approved positions under different nomenclatures, without the requirement of higher education pedagogical training or, at the very least, the normal modality at high school level, with longer working hours and lower salaries. From this, we conclude that the municipalities investigated have employed strategies to make teaching more precarious, which jeopardizes quality education for all children

Perspectives on registered nurse retention in nursing homes in Korea: A qualitative study

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the factors influencing registered nurses’ (RNs) intentions to remain employed in their current nursing homes (NHs). Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with 10 RNs in five Korean NHs from May 1 to May 31, 2024, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: RNs in NHs reported that their intention to stay was influenced by “positive interactions with residents,” “cooperative relationships among staff,” and “stability from long-term employment.” Conversely, their intention to leave was influenced by “work burden from insufficient RNs,” “role conflict,” and “low salaries.” Conclusion: This study indicates that significant reforms in staffing regulations and compensation systems are required to retain RNs. Improving working conditions is crucial for healthcare systems to provide effective long-term care to older adults. These changes are essential to maintain the quality of long-term care services.

Time to care: How a homecare model harnesses nurses' professional ethic and cultivates caring.

A persistent devaluation of care-work, difficult working conditions, and low salaries have led to challenges with staff recruitment and retention in the homecare sector in France. A new homecare organization adopting an innovative organizational model recently experimented an hourly payment method yielding positive outcomes. Using Tronto's caring framework, this paper analyzes the strategies used by the founders as they developed their innovative model and the nursing activities performed during home visits. A longitudinal qualitative study was conducted between 2017 and 2023. Homecare nursing teams were shadowed for 1-2 days per year yielding detailed field notes on caregiving activities, both before and after the new payment method. Secondary data included reports, videos, articles, and unpublished documents found online. While there is no requirement in France to obtain ethical approval in non-interventional research, verbal consent was obtained by all participants prior to their involvement in the study; confidentiality and anonymity were strictly maintained; and pseudonyms were assigned to protect identities. 63 interviews and 185h of shadowing and observations were conducted. Results revealed a virtuous cycle of caring facilitated and encouraged by new incentives that resonated with nurses' professional ethics. The favorable working environment and the hourly payment method enabled nurses to provide caregiving in accordance with their values. As the new hourly payment experiment is scaled-up nationally, it is imperative that it is not isolated from the organizational model. Without the underpinning values and principles, the hourly payment method alone is unlikely to shift the value attributed to caring.

A Study on the Role of Leaders in Achieving Sustainable Competitiveness and Sustainability During Change

Effective change management, corporate sustainability, and employee resilience are crucial factors that influence organizational success. This study explores how demographic factors impact these dimensions, specifically focusing on the role of leaders during change, sustainability, sustainable competitiveness, and employee resilience within a diverse workforce. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and regression, were performed to examine the associations between demographic factors (gender, age, salary range, sector, job position, and total job experience) and the measured scales. The study found significant variations in employees’ perceptions of sustainable competitiveness based on gender and sector, with males and employees in the education sector reporting higher scores. Age and salary range significantly affected employee resilience, with younger employees and those in lower salary brackets showing higher resilience scores. The findings highlight the importance of considering demographic factors when assessing organizational performance, sustainability, and employee resilience. The gender and sector differences suggest that targeted strategies may be necessary to address specific perceptions and experiences. Additionally, younger employees and those with lower salaries demonstrate higher resilience, which could inform organizational support programs. These insights can guide future research and organizational practices aimed at enhancing employee and organizational outcomes.

Factors Affecting Employee Turnover in Local Government Authorities in Tanzania: A Case of Dar es Salaam City Council

This study assessed the factors affecting employee turnover in local government authorities (LGAs) in Dar es Salaam City Council, Tanzania. Specifically, the study sought to ascertain how motivational factors affect employee turnover in the Dar es Salaam City Council, to assess how hygiene factors affect employee turnover in the Dar es Salaam City Council, and to establish mitigation strategies to reduce employee turnover in the Dar es Salaam City Council. A combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods was employed, utilizing a case study design to gain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomena. Primary data were collected through a survey method using a questionnaire and interview guide, involving 129 respondents who were randomly and purposefully selected from the Dar es Salaam City Council.

The Longlasting Program Keluarga Harapan as Conditional Cash Transfer in Indonesia: The Existing Problems and the Policy Recommendations

Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) is a conditional cash transfer program in Indonesia that requires beneficiaries to meet certain requirements such as school attendance and health checks. Adopted from similar models in Latin America, PKH aims to reduce short-term poverty and invest in the health and education of future generations. Since its launch in 2007, PKH has operated in various regions with different poverty and infrastructure issues. PKH faces several challenges, including mistargeting of beneficiaries and burdensome bureaucracy for the poor. To address this, improvements to the targeting system and simplification of document procedures are recommended. The program has also contributed to reducing stunting through improved nutrition and health education, although health facilities need to be improved. In the education sector, PKH has succeeded in increasing school enrollment and attendance, but has not significantly reduced child labor. In terms of livelihoods, PKH encourages beneficiaries to shift to non-agricultural jobs, although often only casual labor. This study uses descriptive and explanatory designs to describe and explain the evolution of the PKH policy from 2007. Descriptive design is used to describe policy changes that occurred during the period, while explanatory design is used to explain the factors that influence policy changes and their impact on program effectiveness. The results found that there were problems with PKH facilitators including insufficient numbers, high workloads, and low salaries, which affected their effectiveness. To improve the performance of facilitators, new recruitment, regular training, and increased salaries and working conditions are recommended.

“They are not even called by name”: Security guards in a South African psychiatric hospital

BackgroundSecurity guards (SGs) play a significant role in health care and are an integral part of many psychiatric institutions. While their main duty is to ensure service users' (SUs) and staff's safety and protect the premises, they are also called upon for other tasks, often ones for which they are not adequately trained. This study aimed to explore the roles, formal and informal tasks performed, training, working conditions and well-being of SGs working in psychiatric services. MethodsGuided interviews were conducted with n = 12 SGs and n = 18 mental healthcare providers (MHCPs) at a psychiatric hospital in the Western Cape of South Africa. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. ResultsIn addition to ensuring safety, SGs take on numerous informal tasks, often for which they are not adequately trained and which formally fall under the purview of other MHCPs, mostly nurses, including talking with SUs about their mental health issues, dressing, showering, feeding, and administering medication. SGs also serve informally as interpreters, raising ethical concerns regarding accuracy and confidentiality. SGs lack formal training for working in psychiatric services and handling aggressive SUs, which may lead to increased violence instead of de-escalation and, in the worst case, injuries. SGs work under precarious working conditions (i.e. low salary, outsourced employment, absence of labour rights and job insecurity) and lack professional recognition, potentially leading to lower job satisfaction and increased emotional distress. ConclusionAddressing the challenges outlined in the study requires collaborative efforts between government, psychiatric institutions, private security companies, SGs and MHCPs. The establishment of clear roles, implementation of comprehensive formal training, psychosocial support and improved working conditions, particularly in-house employment, higher pay, increased employee rights and job security, are needed.

Professional development: a mixed methods study of Masters of Public Health alumni.

We examined the perceptions of the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree graduates regarding their personal competencies, job performance and professional development using a mixed method, explanatory sequential design. A cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire of the Haifa School of Public Health alumni who graduated between 2005 and 2022 was disseminated to 849 graduates between March and June 2022, from which 127 responded (response rate: 14.90%). This was followed by 24 in-depth interviews with alumni from the same sample (conducted between November 2022 and March 2023). The sample included 74.8% of females with a mean age of 40.7 years, 35% of alumni agreed that the MPH degree helped them attain a promotion in their present position (in rank or salary), and 63.8% felt that the degree helped them improve their job performance and contribute to their current workplace. Most (80.3%) alumni reported not changing jobs after graduation. The interview themes revealed that the MPH contributed to their personal and professional lives, provided them with a holistic view of public health and health systems, and improved their in-depth scientific skills. The main reported barriers to professional development included missing core competencies, low salaries, and a lack of information regarding suitable jobs. Surprisingly, an MPH was not a requirement for some public health sector jobs. Alumni reported that the MPH degree contributed to improving many graduates' careers and satisfaction levels and to build their leadership competencies in public health. There seems to be a lack of coordination between the academic curriculum and the jobs available for alumni, hindering better alumni professional development. Regular discussions, information sharing, and curriculum refinements between MPH program leaders and health sector leaders might help address many of the concerns of MPH degree graduates.

Such reasons include low salary, lack of teachers’ houses, misunderstanding at work place, heavy workload, lack of support from school administration and delayed promotion. In order to curb these, challenges, the government needs to recruit more teachers to meet the requirement of teachers in government secondary schools, especially in rural areas. There is a need to build teachers’ houses in order to accommodate them in quality houses. Finally, the government needs to provide special allowances for teachers working in remote areas like Makete.

WHY TEACHERS LEAVE TEACHING: THE CASE OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN TURKEY

The purpose of this study is to uncover the reasons behind private school teachers leaving the profession. The research design was determined as a phenomenological method. For this purpose, we conducted interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire consisting of questions with 9 teachers who have either left the profession or intend to leave. We decided on nine participants for the study via the snowball sampling method. The data was obtained through face-to-face interviews and were analyzed using content analysis. As a result of the analysis, we revealed four main themes “profession-specific experiences”, “experiences in private educational institutions”, “opportunities”, and “recommendations”. At the end of the study, we concluded that the most significant reasons for teachers working in private educational institutions to leave the profession were the transformation of the profession, workload, and low salaries. We recommend improving the working conditions in private schools to prevent teachers from leaving the profession.

Sources of Teachers’ Occupational Stress and Effects on their Self-Efficacy

The themes in this narrative inquiry represent the sources of occupational stress and further investigate their effects on teachers' self-efficacy. Poor occupational support, low salary and job insecurity, and the role of teachers are the major sources of occupational stress. Furthermore, these stressors have negative effects on the teachers’ self-efficacy on students’ motivation and engagement, teacher preparedness and planning, and their emotional well-being. This study employed a semi-structured interview with five EFL teachers in the Rupandehi district to explore their lived experiences. Participants were selected purposively from private schools, as existing research indicated teachers in private schools faced more occupational stress than public school teachers. The findings showed that teachers’ occupational stress negatively affects their self-efficacy and professional well-being. Additionally, it exhibited that a positive organizational climate, a supportive environment, and strong relationships with students, parents, and colleagues can significantly boost a teacher's professional well-being and self-efficacy. This research recommends school administrators and stakeholders ensure that teachers have access to adequate resources and support and that their working conditions are improved to maximize teacher effectiveness and well-being.

Determinants of brain drain among physicians in Turkey: Findings from a national exploratory study.

The shortage of physicians in Turkey is a highly critical emergency. In fact, physicians' migration to developing or high-income countries, defined as brain drain, threatens the sustainability of the national healthcare system. This study explored the driving factors associated with Turkish Physicians' brain drain, including high-economic inflation, social-politics, poor-living, equity, violence, and the desire to practice medical activity abroad. A cross-sectional survey of 1,861 Turkish physicians aged 25 to 65 years old was conducted employing the Brain Drain questionnaire, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), and the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS). Significant differences were observed among physicians staying in Turkey versus considering migration to Western countries, regarding their age, gender, marital status, educational level, occupational status, work years, hospital night shifts, income, and cigarette/nargileh smoking habits (all p ⩽ .018). The main reasons for brain drain included transport problems, harassment, low salary, malpractice, bad environment, job insecurity, workload, burnout, treating difficult patients, inadequate postgraduate systems, peer-pressure, health safety concerns, and favoritism in the workplace, as well as stress and depression caused by work overload. In fact, depression, anxiety, stress, fatigue, and burnout varied significantly among the different groups of physicians (all p ⩽ .013). Additionally, key predictors of brain drain were better job opportunities, poor hospital management (in Turkey), job-related stress, dealing with difficult patients, research deficiencies, workload, burnout, transportation issues, short consultation time, low salary, and fatigue. Among the general factors contributing to the brain drain in the Turkish Health System, we identified significant issues related to research deficiencies, compulsory working duties, poor quality of postgraduate, inadequate medical-schools, poor hospital management, and shortage of consultants. Physicians' migration is a major global public health concern, leading to substantial risks for healthcare services, especially in Turkey. Many physicians decide to migrate to work in Western countries.

" Operationalizing Jitegemea Philosophy As A Model To Sustainable Development To Retirement Plan Among The Pulpit Workers

Purpose of the Study: This study aimed to investigate the operationalization of Jitegemea Philosophy as a model for the sustainable development of retirement plans among pulpit workers. Statement of the Problem Despite the importance of retirement planning, these workers face challenges such as low salaries, irregular income, and limited access to pension schemes, leading to financial insecurity in later life. The Jitegemea (self-reliance) philosophy, rooted in principles of self-sufficiency and sustainability, offers a potential model for addressing this gap. However, there is limited research and practical application of Jitegemea as a structured retirement planning model tailored to the specific needs of pulpit workers. Addressing these challenges is crucial to ensuring the financial security and well-being of PCEA pulpit workers in retirement. Therefore, this study explores how operationalizing the Jitegemea philosophy could provide a sustainable solution for enhancing financial security and well-being for clergy during retirement. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative research approach, utilizing semi-structured interviews with PCEA pulpit workers to explore their perceptions, experiences, and challenges related to retirement planning. A purposive sampling technique was used to select participants from various PCEA churches in Nairobi. Data were analyzed thematically to identify key themes and patterns related to retirement planning among PCEA pulpit workers. Key Findings: The study revealed that while many clergy face socio-economic barriers, religious beliefs, community support, and proactive planning can foster resilience. Participants expressed mixed emotions about retirement, some feeling apprehensive and others viewing it as a period of spiritual renewal. The study highlights the need for tailored support mechanisms, including financial literacy programs, fair compensation, and expanded pension schemes. Conclusion: The study emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts among religious institutions, policymakers, and community organizations to improve retirement planning. Recommendation: Recommendations include financial education, compensation reform, and community support to ensure better retirement preparedness. Further research is suggested to evaluate the long-term effects of these interventions on clergy retirement outcomes.

ON TOPICAL PROBLEMS OF THE MODERN SCHOOL: TEACHERS’ OPINION IN THE KOSTROMA REGION

This article presents the findings of a survey among school teachers conducted in Kostroma between April and May 2024. The objective of the study was to ascertain the level of satisfaction with their profession among teachers and to identify the most significant challenges they face in their work. The concerns expressed by the respondents could be grouped into the following categories: low income and low salaries, excessive teaching workload and a lack of free time; insufficient material and technical resources in schools in the region; and weak moral incentives for teachers. The results of the survey indicate that, in addition to financial concerns, teachers are also dissatisfied with the decline in their authority and status within society. Furthermore, the survey demonstrated that the material aspect is a significant but not a primary source of discontent among teachers. Their social status, which does not align with their qualifications, is a notable concern. It is also important that in underprivileged regions, the shortage of personnel has intensified, particularly in mathematics and the Russian language. Based on statistical data, media reports, and field observations, there seems to be a reluctance among young individuals to pursue careers in education. The teachers who participated in the survey reached a unanimous consensus on the necessity of implementing measures to enhance the material well-being of educators, upgrade the material and technical infrastructure of educational institutions, and reinstate the esteemed status of teaching professionals in society.

The specifics of academic publishing (The case study of publishing departments of Ekaterinburg universities)

The authors examine the specific publishing activities of universities and formulate the main challenges for academic publishing divisions. Within the study, eight publishing departments of Ekaterinburg universities demonstrated the following problems: decreasing circulation against the increase in the number of students; partial reversal from proprietary publishing facilities, loading of publications and e-publications into the electronic library systems, degradation of publications, unfair paper reviewing practice, decreasing funding and number of commercial projects, old age of employees of publishing departments, displacement of correctors, overloading of editors, low salaries, pandemic and sanctions consequences (increasing prices for paper and expendable materials, disruption of supplies, hardware challenges, etc.). Based on the analysis of publishers’ structure and management principles, the authors conclude on the stagnation in university publishing. However, the authors insist on some potential for preserving and improving publishing activities, and suggest optional solutions for several publishing problems.

What influences women’s participation in the private sector workforce in Oman?

PurposeWomen’s employment has been a contentious issue in the Arab world. However, in today’s changing work conditions, workplaces, and the growth in education, women have increasingly occupied higher-level roles, and their presence in diverse industries has expanded. The study takes a holistic approach to female labor force participation (FLFP) in Oman, encompassing various theories and factors influencing women’s engagement in private sector jobs.Design/methodology/approachThe research employed an exploratory design followed by a qualitative analysis based on a constructivist grounded theory approach. The study involved 170 semi-structured face-to-face interviews with women workers in Oman’s private sector. It explored work–family conflict (WFC), work–life balance (WLB), organizational and family support, and societal bias impacting female labor force participation.FindingsThe low FLFP in Oman’s private sector is a complex issue shaped by various interconnected challenges. Our qualitative analysis synthesizes a conceptual framework that highlights WFC and WLB as pivotal factors behind low FLFP, as women in the private sector face long work hours, low salaries, and high responsibilities. Our study confirms that these women receive substantial familial support in dealing with WFC but lack organizational support and family-friendly policies (FFPs).Practical implicationsAddressing the low participation of women in Oman’s private sector labor force necessitates comprehensive strategies encompassing legislative measures, cultural shifts, and organizational reforms. Implementing these strategies creates an environment where women feel empowered to participate and actively thrive in the private sector workforce.Social implicationsThis study indicates the presence of some serious social issues, such as society’s bias, lack of support for working women, and the gender gap in the private sector workforce, which has broad implications and significance for Oman. The study indicates the positive role of support women receive from their families, organizations, and Oman labor law and what could improve their participation further.Originality/valueThis study addresses the limited research on challenges encountered by women in Oman’s private-sector workforce. Our research addresses this gap by answering key questions, collecting and interpreting data, and developing a comprehensive conceptual framework. This framework aims to elucidate the factors contributing to women’s reluctance to pursue private-sector employment, considering the diverse issues they confront.

Influence path of work-family conflict on primary care physicians' resignation intention: Data from a Chinese cross-sectional survey.

Primary care physicians and their teams are the leading force in constructing primary medical services, undertaking the critical responsibility of residents' essential health, and also related to realizing the national health goal. However, primary care physicians generally have a high turnover rate due to problems such as high work pressure, low salary levels, and limited career development. Therefore, exploring primary care physicians' resignation intentions plays a vital role in promoting the construction of primary care physicians' health service system. This study explores the factors influencing the resignation intentions of primary care physicians, specifically examining the roles of work-family conflict, job satisfaction, professional identity, and emotional exhaustion. By understanding these dynamics, the research aims to inform strategies that can enhance the stability and effectiveness of primary care services, ultimately contributing to the improvement of public health infrastructure and achieving national health goals. This investigation will utilize structural equation modeling to analyze the interrelationships among the identified variables, thereby providing a comprehensive framework for addressing the high turnover rates among primary care physicians. This study uses the work-family conflict, job satisfaction, professional identity, and emotional exhaustion scales. The data comes from a cross-sectional survey in Zhejiang Province, China, in 2022. Using SPSS 27 and Mplus8.3 software to analyze 1205 primary care physicians and their team members, the selected cases all answered the relevant questions of resignation intention. The potential relationship among work-family conflict, job satisfaction, professional identity, emotional exhaustion, and family doctor resignation intention was explored by constructing structural equations. Work-family conflict can directly and positively affect primary care physicians' resignation intention (β = -0.546, p < 0.001). The results of the mediation model found that job satisfaction, professional identity, and emotional exhaustion were significantly related to work-family conflict, and primary care physicians' resignation intention has a significant mediating effect. It mainly includes six intermediary approaches: one is through the independent intermediary effect of job satisfaction; the second is through the independent intermediary effect of professional identity; the third is through the chain intermediary effect between Job satisfaction and professional identity; the fourth is through the intermediary effect of Job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion chain intermediary; fifth is through the chain intermediary of professional identity and emotional exhaustion; sixth is through the complex chain intermediary of job satisfaction, professional identity, and emotional exhaustion. Primary care physicians have a high score in resignation intention, which deserves continuous attention. Relevant department can help primary care physicians balance work and family roles, provide them with appropriate resources and rewards, as well as a good working environment and career development opportunities, to improve their job satisfaction and professional identity and reduce emotional exhaustion, thereby reducing the risk of resignation intention.
