The impact of job stress on the nursing profession: a comprehensive approach

IntroductionJob stress in nursing represents a significant challenge due to the particular characteristics of this profession. Nurses faced working conditions that include constant contact with processes of suffering, death and emotional overload, which impacted both their physical and mental health. In addition, factors such as long working hours, moonlighting and adverse working conditions intensified stress, affecting their quality of life and professional performance.DevelopmentThe phenomenon of work stress was first described by Hans Selye and comprises phases of alarm, resistance and exhaustion. In nursing, prolonged exposure to stress triggered physical health problems such as immunological, cardiovascular and metabolic alterations, together with psychological symptoms related to Burnout syndrome. This syndrome, characterized by emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, was associated with psychosocial factors such as excessive workload, rotating shifts and emotional demands derived from contact with patients in critical situations. Recent studies also highlighted the influence of the gender perspective, underlining the inequalities affecting women in this profession, such as unfavorable labor relations and greater exposure to risks.ConclusionJob stress in nursing is a complex problem that requires comprehensive strategies for its mitigation. The implementation of organizational policies that promote occupational health, along with the development of stress management skills and psychological support, proved crucial. This holistic approach would improve not only the quality of life of nurses, but also the care provided to patients and the sustainability of health systems

TIME MANAGEMENT IN PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT: EU EXPERIENCE FOR UKRAINIAN ENTERPRISES

The article examines the essence and definition of time management skills, as well as their role and importance in personnel management. Attention is focused on the need to declare in the personnel policy the requirements for the use of time management tools. The most complete definition of corporate time management in accordance with the management functions is highlighted. The most common time management problems for HR managers are generalized. The principles of time management are grouped: prioritization of tasks; planning; goal setting; elimination of distractions; delegation of tasks; use of technology; priority of self-care, stress management; use of templates; setting realistic deadlines; ability to say “no”; flexibility. The article summarizes the strategies of the HR manager to improve time management skills in the team: 1. Setting priorities, which will be helped by classical and innovative techniques developed by European and other foreign authors. 2. Use of technologies (programs, applications). 3. Effective delegation (if someone can perform a task at least 80% as well as you, delegation is ideal). 4. Setting realistic deadlines. 5. Conducting a time audit and reducing distractions, maintaining a work-life balance. 6. Simplifying communication. 7. Fostering a culture of productivity. 8. Continuous improvement. It was emphasized that the HR department should conduct trainings on the development of time management skills, which will help to find out the reasons for unproductive time at work (perhaps employees are overloaded or waiting for additional data to continue performing tasks), problems with planning time for tasks, prioritization. Developed time management skills not only increase the chances of getting a job in a prestigious company, but also open up new prospects for career growth. Regardless of your profession, effective time management is an integral part of success. The focus on EU best practices contributes to the formation of a modern corporate culture that emphasizes staff motivation, delegation of authority, and planning. For Ukrainian companies, this is not only a way to increase competitiveness, but also an important stage of integration into the European economic space.

The study of the level of professional burnout among pharmacists

Aim. To determine the level of professional burnout among pharmacists in different regions of Ukraine and evaluate the main factors contributing to the occurrence of this condition. Materials and methods. During the study, the methods of system analysis, generalization, comparison, logical analysis, as well as the survey method according to Maslach and the developed author’s questionnaire were used. Results. Most pharmaceutical workers experience fatigue, reduced interest in work and difficulty waking up in the morning, which indicates a high level of occupational stress and burnout. In addition, a significant percentage of respondents complain of emotional exhaustion and depression, which deepens the negative impact on their motivation. The main factors contributing to burnout are job monotony, low financial remuneration, workplace conflicts and lack of proper support from colleagues and management. In addition, most pharmaceutical workers feel that their work is underestimated, which reduces overall satisfaction with the profession. The consequences of professional burnout are deterioration in the quality of customer service, an increase in the number of errors in the pharmacists’ work, and an increase in staff turnover in pharmacies. Conclusions. The vast majority of pharmacists experience signs of professional burnout, which often forces them to change their workplace or even their field of activity. In order to reduce this phenomenon, it is necessary to take comprehensive measures aimed at optimizing the workload, providing psychological support, creating favorable working conditions and properly evaluating the professional efforts of pharmaceutical workers. Special attention should be paid to the implementation of programs for the development of professional stress management skills.

A Novel Data Analytics Methodology for Discovering Behavioral Risk Profiles: The Case of Diners During a Pandemic

Understanding tourist profiles and behaviors during health pandemics is key to better preparedness for unforeseen future outbreaks, particularly for tourism and hospitality businesses. This study develops and applies a novel data analytics methodology to gain insights into the health risk reduction behavior of restaurant diners/patrons during their dining out experiences in a pandemic. The methodology builds on data relating to four constructs (question categories) and measurements (questions and attributes), with the constructs being worry, health risk prevention behavior, health risk reduction behavior, and demographic characteristics. As a unique contribution, the methodology generates a behavioral typology by identifying risk profiles, which are expressed as one- and two-level decision rules. For example, the results highlighted the significance of restaurants’ adherence to cautionary measures and diners’ perception of seclusion. These and other factors enable a multifaceted analysis, typology, and understanding of diners’ risk profiles, offering valuable guidance for developing managerial strategies and skill development programs to promote safer dining experiences during pandemics. Besides yielding novel types of insights through rules, another practical contribution of the research is the development of a public web-based analytics dashboard for interactive insight discovery and decision support.

Rethinking entrepreneurship and management education for engineering students: The appropriateness of design thinking

The study argues that the educational needs of engineering students for entrepreneurship and managerial education are specific and evolving over time toward a set of skills and knowledge needed in digital and dynamic world. Existing research largely ignored the distinct and evolving nature of these educational needs and their implications for entrepreneurship and managerial education of engineering students. Using design thinking and teaching model literature, we proposed teaching model framework and derived propositions from conceptual arguments to address these educational needs effectively. The proposed conceptual teaching model framework elaborates on the incorporation of cognitive acts of design in various aspects at ontological, didactical, and contextual levels. The framework views education as a process of co-construction, centered on students, where the role of the teacher is similar to that of a coach. Students work in teams and practice the cognitive acts of design that lead to the development of interpersonal, entrepreneurial, and managerial skills. For this purpose, open-ended questioning, real-life customer problems, design thinking methodology, and lean methodology are proposed as effective content and pedagogies to promote the entrepreneurial behaviors required in the current industrial scenario.

The Influence of Industry 4.0 on Work Behavior and Employee Productivity in Technology Companies

Industry 4.0, characterized by automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data, has revolutionized work dynamics and productivity in technology firms. This transformation necessitates employees to acquire new skills and adapt to a more agile and intricate work setting.

The future of project management simulation exercises

In recent times project management has become among the most popular post graduate courses at UK Universities particularly for international students. Students consider the skill set useful for employability and transferable for a wide range of future avenues helpful in an uncertain world. However, many start this course with no workplace experience and many of the project management concepts are difficult to grasp or cannot be fully tested except within a realistic project situation. Hence project management simulations or games have become increasingly popular to help resolve this issue. This research study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of a project management simulation exercise used by a leading UK University within their project management teaching programme at post-graduate level. A review of the literature included recent studies of simulation, the development of project management education thinking, experiential learning theory and the skill set required from modern project managers from the perspective of professional bodies, industry groups and academics. This produced a list of 17 skills or competences or knowledge areas including both hard skills such as schedule management and risk management and soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and innovation. Students from the 2021-22 academic year produced quantitative data via a survey relating to their self-perception of their skill level before and after the simulation. Tutors were interviewed to obtain a deeper insight into the mechanisms of learning, the conditions required and their thoughts on future simulation design development. This qualitative data was used to develop a conceptual model for future project management simulation design. The results show that from the student perspective this learning approach is highly effective with in almost all cases the level of competence started at below average and ended at above average after the simulation. Students consider this approach memorable and enjoyable, were fully engaged and would recommend to their peers. The problem of self-assessment was discussed but a link between student confidence and employability proposed. The conceptual model developed from the qualitative data includes not only simulation design but also game management and tutor skill development. Collaboration between industry partners, game developers and educationalists is proposed to develop the next generation of project management simulation exercises.

Оюутнуудын спорт тоглоомын төрлүүдийн техникийн гүйцэтгэлд хийсэн дүн шинжилгээ

Sports improve a person's physical development, affect their ability to respond to complex situations, and allow for the development of management skills to make correct decisions quickly. Therefore, some types of sports should dominate in the high school physical education curriculum. This research aims to study today's 17 to 18-year-old college students' abilities in sports in the area of (1) passing, dribbling &amp; shooting a basketball, (2) the ability to pass and serve a volleyball, and (3) the ability to change direction and passing techniques in football. A complex set of exercises based on the minimum skills to be mastered by the physical education curriculum at the basic &amp; secondary education levels was developed and used in the study of 204-216 students. The results find students' abilities in performing certain sports skills as follows: the ability to pass a basketball - above-average, the ability to shoot from dribbling - below-average, and female students performing at a lower level than their male counterparts. Statistically significant differences between gender and performance were observed during complex basketball drills. In football, the ability to change the direction of the ball was well below-average, the ability to pass the ball to be above-average; with 29% of male students and 45% of female students had low or insufficient ability to perform complex football exercises at higher speeds. In volleyball, passing and serving skills were all above-average. This study proves that the expected results of the proposed physical education program are not fully implemented in sports other than volleyball.(?)
