Organızational Factors Affectıng Teacher Motivation: A Meta Analysis Study

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğretmen motivasyonuyla örgütsel faktörler arasındaki ilişkilerin meta-analiz yöntemiyle incelenmesidir. Araştırmada 2007-2020 yıllarında Türkiye’de yapılmış 25 araştırmanın meta-analiz yöntemiyle analizi yapılmıştır. İlgili çalışmalar incelendiğinde öğretmen motivasyonuyla ilişkili 6 örgütsel faktör (okul müdürünün liderliği, okul müdürünün iletişim becerisi, örgüt kültürü, örgüt iklimi, örgütsel adalet ve yıldırma) belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada ortalama etki büyüklüğü değerleri pozitif ilişkiler bulanan tüm değişkenler için güçlü düzeyde (.543) iken özellikle okul müdürünün liderliği (.599), okul müdürünün iletişim becerisi (.590) ve örgüt kültürü (.586) ile öğretmen motivasyonu arasında güçlü düzeyde bir ilişkinin bulunduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca yıldırma davranışları (.-1.454) ile öğretmen motivasyonu arasında negatif yönlü ve çok güçlü düzeyde bir ilişki bulunduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada özellikle okulların yönetiminden birinci derecede sorumlu olan okul müdürünün liderliğinin ve iletişim becerisinin öğretmen motivasyonu üzerinde önemli belirleyicilerden olduğu görülmüştür. Bunun yanı sıra öğretmenlerin maruz kaldıkları yıldırmanın ise öğretmen motivasyonu üzerinde olumsuz etkisi bir kez daha ortaya çıkmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmen motivasyonu üzerinde en önemli faktörün yıldırma olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Relationships between workplace mobbing behaviors and revenge thoughts

Research on the relationship between workplace mobbing and revenge thoughts in the literature is very limited. Therefore, this study aims to examine and better understand the relationships between these two variables. The sample for the study was collected from academicians who worked in higher education institutions. Correlation and hierarchical regression analysis were used to explore the relationships between variables in the study, and the results show statistically significant and positive relationships between mobbing and revenge thoughts. Moreover, it is noteworthy that mobbing has a high level of influence on revenge thoughts. Managerial and research implications and contributions of the study are discussed. Keywords: Workplace Mobbing; Revenge Thoughts; Academician; Higher Education Institutions.

An Investigation of Exposure of Attending Referee Training Hockey Referees to Mobbing Behaviors and Their Zest for Work Levels: Example of Referees Attending University Education

In a study conducted for referees, it was concluded that existing training programs need to be complemented with content in the field of pedagogy and developmental psychology (Ploszaj et al., 2021). The aim of this study is to examine the zest for work levels of trained referees actively working for the Turkish Hockey Federation and the mobbing behaviors they are exposed to. A total of 99 hockey referees, 42 women and 57 men, participated in the study. The sample comprises of 5 International, 7 National, 45 Provincial and 42 Candidate referees. In the study, the “Mobbing Scale for Referees of Indoor Sports” developed by Hacıcaferoğlu (2014) was used to measure the mobbing behaviors that referees are exposed to and the “The Zest for Work Scale for Referees” developed by Erdoğan (2013) and adapted for referees by Karaçam and Pulur (2018) was used to measure the zest for work levels of referees. Shapiro-Wilk normality test was performed and it was seen that the data showed normal distribution. Frequency Analysis, Descriptive Statistics, Independent T-Test, One Way ANOVA and Correlation Analysis were used in SPSS 22.0 program to analyze the data. As a result of the study, it was determined that the referees’ zest for work scores and mobbing behavior scores were high. A statistically significant difference was found for female referees in the analysis of mobbing behavior scores according to gender variable (t = -2.294; p < .05). According to the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) results, the difference between the arithmetic means of the Mobbing Scale scores in terms of the referee classification variable was statistically significant (F = 4.876; p < .05). No significant difference was found as a result of the Pearson Correlation analysis performed to determine the direction of the relationship between the scales (r = .061; p > 0.05). As a result, it was seen that the zest for work scores of the referees were high, and female and candidate referees were more exposed to mobbing in terms of the exposure to the mobbing behaviors.

Compassion Fatigue and Satisfaction in Nurses and Midwives during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Turkey

Objective: To examine the levels of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction of nurses and midwives during the COVID-19 pandemic and the influencing factors.
 Methods: This descriptive study was carried out with the participation of Turkish midwives and nurses. In the study using the convenience sampling method, data were collected online using an online questionnaire. The questionnaire, created through the Google form, was shared between May and June 2021 in the midwife and nurse groups (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) on electronic platforms. Compassion fatigue (CF) and compassion satisfaction (CS) consisting of the burnout (BO) and secondary traumatic stress (STS) subcomponents were assessed by the Professional Quality of Life scale. The study was completed with 402 nurses and midwives from various units. Descriptive statistics, and the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used in the analysis of the data.
 Results: Among the participants, the rate of dissatisfaction with the clinic worked was 24.6% and the turnover intention rate was 70.6%. During the pandemic period, 75.6% of the participants reported that they were exposed to verbal violence, 7.7% to physical violence, and 74.4% to mobbing behaviors. Low CS was found in 24.9% of the participants, a high level of BO in 27.1%, and high STS in 32.8%.
 Conclusion: Violence and mobbing against nurses and midwives should be prevented in order to increase the professional quality of life.

Anthropogenic noise alters the perception of a predator in a local community of great tits

Anthropogenic noise is increasing at an alarming rate in urban as well as rural ecosystems and detrimental effects have been reported on many animals relying on acoustic communication. Little is known regarding the impact of different types of noise on community level predator perception and breeding behaviour. Here, we presented a predator model alone or a predator combined with a specific noise type, such as traffic, a lawnmower or a chainsaw, to breeding pairs of great tits, Parus major , giving them the opportunity to perform mobbing behaviour that could provide public information to their neighbours. We then measured the provisioning behaviour of adjacent tit pairs, which were 50–150 m away from the focal pairs' nests. The adjacent breeding pairs decreased nest visits when focal birds were exposed to the sparrowhawk model or to the sparrowhawk model combined with the lawnmower noise. Neighbouring pairs did not reduce the rate of nest visits when focal birds were exposed to the hawk model combined with the traffic or the chainsaw noise. The distance from focal nests did not alter the noise effect on neighbouring pairs. We suggest that auditory masking is the most likely mechanism to explain why noise compromises public information. The chainsaw and traffic noise overlap with the frequency of mobbing calls and disrupt the transmission of auditory signals in the community. Further, when the hawk presentation was combined with the chainsaw noise, which was the type of noise that had the highest frequencies, the latency of mobbing by the focal birds was strongly increased, and the number of species involved in mobbing was reduced. This study demonstrates that the signalling function of mobbing is ineffective in noisy environments which ultimately impacts fitness via increased predation to adults or their offspring. • Focal great tits give mobbing calls in response to a sparrowhawk presentation. • Neighbouring pairs reduce nest visit rate when focal birds mob the hawk. • Neighbours do not respond to mobbing calls along with a chainsaw or traffic noise. • Acoustic masking by high-frequency noise disrupts the transmission of mobbing calls. • Low-frequency noise does not disrupt the transmission of public information.

Examining the Relationship between Mobbing and Organizational Cynicism

In this study, the relations between the experience level of bullying behaviors and organizational cynicism are explored, using the views of teachers. The study group comprised 235 teachers working in state secondary schools in the Meram municipality of Konya during the 2017–2018 academic year. The Negative Act Questionnaire-Revised and Organizational Cynicism Scale were used to collect the data. In this descriptive study, standard deviation, mean, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analyses were used in the analysis of the data. It was observed that the levels of exposure to mobbing behavior and organizational cynicism of the participants in the study were low. It was furthermore shown that the dimensions (personal bullying, work-related bullying, and physical intimidation) of negative act questionnaire-revised have a positive and significant relation with all dimensions of organizational cynicism scale. According to the results of regression analysis, it was determined that the cognitive and affective dimensions of organizational cynicism scale are significantly and positively predicted by the personal bullying and work-related bullying dimensions of negative act questionnaire-revised, and all dimensions of negative act questionnaire-revised predict the behavioral dimension of organizational cynicism at a significant level. According to the results obtained from the research, as the levels of teachers’ exposure to mobbing behaviors decrease, their organizational cynicism levels also decrease. Exposure to mobbing behaviors has a strong predictive effect on organizational cynicism.

Relationship between internal marketing and workplace mobbing: empirical results from sports organizations

Internal marketing and workplace mobbing are among the important facts that affect the efficiency and performance of organizations. This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between internal marketing and mobbing behaviors. Data for the study were obtained from employees working at organizations providing sports services in Turkey. The study used the IM-11 scale developed by Yildiz and Kara (2017) to measure the employees’ internal marketing perception and the MS-A developed by Yildiz (2020a) to measure mobbing behaviors. The validity and reliability results in this study strongly demonstrated that both scales developed for higher education institutions can be applied to employees of sports services organizations. Correlation and regression analysis showed a significant and negative relationship between internal marketing and mobbing (β=-0.471; p<0.001). While internal marketing was moderately effective on vertical mobbing (β=-0.376; p<0.001), its highest effect was on vertical/horizontal mobbing (β=-0.486; p<0.001). The results of this study showed that internal marketing practices can be highly effective in preventing possible mobbing behavior among employees. Hence, managers who want to create a work environment free of conflict and low efficiency should effectively implement internal marketing within the organization.

Workplace Violence (Mobbing) the Example of A Hospital in Greece during the Economic Crisis

Aim: During the last decade various efforts have been made to investigate and record the "mobbing syndrome" in Greece. The present study aims to map the rates of mobbing, to determine the causes, to highlight the vulnerable groups to mobbing, to describe its expression, and to document the ways of dealing with it.
 Material and method: The study used the LIPT (Leymann Inventory of Psychological Terrorization) questionnaire, which has been widely used to measure mobbing. The SPSS statistical program was used for statistical analysis and processing of the results.
 Results: Out of a total of 150 questionnaires, 91 were returned correctly completed. The majority of the participants were women, mainly aged 41-45 years, graduates of universities/universities of applied sciences, married, with more than 21 years of experience. The mobbing rate recorded was 16.48%. The most frequent mobbing behavior is the statement " they often talk behind your back" 31.9%, at least once a month 30% and 79% still experience mobbing behaviors to date. Mobbing of others has been observed in 45.1%. Mobbing comes from someone higher up the hierarchy in 34.1% and is attributed to the poor organization in 27.5% and management problems in 34.1%. To deal with the phenomenon they primarily turned to colleagues 29.7%.
 Conclusions: This study was an attempt to investigate and document the "mobbing syndrome" among nurses in a public hospital. The results demonstrate that mobbing behaviors are practiced in the workplace and experienced by about half of the survey population and a large proportion still experience them today.

The relationship between mobbing, alienation and burnout among teachers in Mersin, Turkey

The relationship between mobbing behaviour, alienation and burnout experienced by teachers in the elementary schools in central districts of Mersin was investigated in the study reported on here. The sample of this study consisted of a group of 455 randomly selected teachers selected by the simple random sampling method. The mobbing scale, alienation scale and Maslach Burnout Inventory were used in the study, and data were analysed by using the correlation and regression techniques. As a result, there is a positive and significant relationship between mobbing behaviour experienced by the teachers and their alienation. Also, mobbing behaviour of school administrators were found to be positively associated with teachers’ burnout. Furthermore, mobbing behaviour significantly predict all other dimensions of alienation, except for school alienation dimension, and all dimensions of burnout.

A statistical analysis-based Bayesian Network model for assessment of mobbing acts on ships

ABSTRACT Mobbing is a fundamental problem that disrupts the organization’s structure and negatively affects its employees’ safe work environment. The most critical issue in combating mobbing is increasing the awareness of victims, businesses and society about this problem. The importance of identifying this problem, which will adversely affect the professional life in the maritime profession, as in every professional group, is obvious. This study offers a statistical analysis-based dynamic Bayesian network to model seafarers’ mobbing acts in merchant ships. In this research, measures against mobbing in the maritime industry are also recommended after determining the most frequent mobbing elements in ships. It is observed that the seafarers who have just stepped into onboard are more exposed to mobbing; in contrast, mobbing attacks experienced by seafarers decrease with an increase in age. The most frequent mobbing behaviours are listed as: “I am continually given new tasks“, “My superiors restrict the opportunity for me to express myself” and ”Unfounded rumours about me is circulated in the ship”. The study reveals that while the maritime authorities such as PSC and the ITF have limited capabilities for solving mobbing related problems, the companies may have a crucial role to play in the process.

Mobbing behaviour in non-breeding flocks of a passerine bird in northern Patagonia

Abstract Animal cooperation occurs in both genetically related and unrelated groups of individuals, involving costs and benefits that have not been fully elucidated. For example, risky behaviour such as mobbing a predator would be selected if participants are genetic relatives because they share a fraction of their gene pool (i.e., kin selection or indirect benefits). However, in the absence of genetic relatedness, benefits can be achieved by direct benefits such as reciprocity or mutualism, among others. In this study we analyzed the cooperative mobbing behaviour in winter flocks of an endemic passerine of the austral temperate forests, the Thorn-tailed rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda). We first tested whether the probability of and the latency to mobbing response differed depending on the acoustic stimulus perceived by the flock (i.e., conspecific mobbing calls vs. predator calls), and whether the intensity of the mobbing was related to the number of individuals and species participating. We found that flocks were more likely to approach the predator when the acoustic signal was a conspecific mobbing call than when it was the predator’s call, and that the intensity of mobbing increased with the number of participants. Secondly, we explored if the level of kinship within the group potentially played a role in the development of the mobbing behaviour. The proportion of close-relatives found in these flocks was low, and the within- and among-flock degree of kinship did not differ. This suggests that kin selection might not be related with the expression of mobbing behaviour in winter flocks.

A case study on the relationship between narcissistic personality tendency and mobbing behaviors in school management

The research is a relational study aiming to determine the level of relationship between narcissistic personality tendencies and mobbing behaviors of school administrators and vice principals. The study group consists of 230 participants who were working in public schools in Mersin. The participants' narcissistic personality tendencies were determined by the "Narcissistic Personality Tendency Scale" and mobbing behaviors by the "Mobing Scale" and adapted into Turkish. According to the results of the research, while vice principals have a higher need for acceptance and approval, school administrators tend to value themselves. Vice principals apply the behaviors of inhibition about work and career, while school administrators apply mobbing behaviors more about commitment to work. As vice principals are criticized, they show more bullying behaviors. The narcissistic personality tendencies of school administrators significantly predict the behaviors of mobbing in the dimension of "commitment to work". Narcissistic personality tendencies of vice principals significantly predicted all sub-dimensions of mobbing behaviors.

A Research on Mobbing Behaviour in the Workplace

İş yaşantısı tarihi süreç içerisinde çalışan ve yönetici tarafıyla kimi zaman avantaj kimi zaman dezavantaj olarak görülen düzenleme ve değişiklikler doğrultusunda çift yönlü bir etkiyle ilerlemiştir. Ancak 1980 sonrası yaşanan sosyo-ekonomik anlamdaki değişimler çalışan tarafını olumsuz yönde derinden etkileyen rekabet ve kârlılık baskılarını getirmiştir. Bu baskılar altında iş hayatında çalışanı usandırmaya yönelik sistematik ve örgütlü birtakım hareket ve yaklaşımlarla iş yaşamı ilişkileri adeta tehdit niteliği kazanmıştır. Yaşanılan bu süreçte çalışanların karşı karşıya kaldığı etik dışı davranışlar karşılığı olarak ifade edilen “yıldırma” olgusu ve bu olgusunun yarattığı olumsuz tutum, davranış ve etkiler, iş hayatında önlemler alınmasını gerektirmektedir. Bu çalışma, günümüzde hem bireysel hem de örgütsel sağlık ve başarının risk faktörlerinden biri olarak karşımıza çıkan yıldırma davranışlarını bankacılık sektöründe araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 156 kamu ve özel banka çalışanının yaşadığı yıldırma davranışlarının düzeyi ile etkilerini ortaya çıkarmak için anket tekniği ile elde edilen bulgular analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada ulaşılan bulgular çerçevesinde hipotezler test edilmiş ve örneklemde yıldırma davranışlarının düzeyinin düşük ve etkilerinin yüksek olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Yıldırma davranışlarının hemen hemen her ülke ve her sektörde artış sağladığı dikkate alınarak farkındalık yaratmak ve konuyla ilgili iyileştirici etkiler için literatürdeki “sıfır yıldırma / zero mobbing” hedefine yönelik öneriler ile çalışmanın alana katkı sağlayacağına inanılmaktadır.

THE PROBLEM OF ACADEMIC GENDER MOBBING IN TURKISH UNIVERSITIES

The issue of academic mobbing is growing at an alarming rate in Turkish universities. This is a negative practice whereby outspoken and ethical scholars are attacked. These scholars are always kicking against bad practices in society. They possess knowledge that most people consider intimidating. These actions are usually initiated by their lesser administrators and colleagues. Based on this, it is crucial to know how this problem starts and deteriorates among colleagues. This research study will be aiming to determine mobbing behavior prevalence as exposed by superiors, the dean and heads of departments. Various subtopics will be analyzed and discussed in this paper like faculty outcomes, ethics, and envy twinge. These are all related to rectors, university presidents, provosts, department chairs, deans, policymakers, academic leaders, researchers, academicians, and many others.

Assessment of mobbing and job satisfaction relationship in nurses: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Aim: The aim of this study to examine the perceived mobbing levels, and to look into the relationship between mobbing and job satisfaction of nurses working in Turkey through a meta-analysis. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis is based on the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. A total of 850 studies on perceived mobbing levels, and 50 studies on the relationship between mobbing and job satisfaction were retrieved from databases which are Ulusal Tez Merkezi, DergiPark, PubMed, EBSCO Host, and Web of Science. The articles and dissertations were written in Turkish and English and published before 12.31.2018. The PRISMA statement was used to report systematic review and meta-analysis. Results: The perceived mobbing level was found to be 1.867, and a negative and medium-level relationship was observed between mobbing and job satisfaction in nurses who work in Turkey (r = -.510, p = .000). Conclusions: The perceived mobbing level, according to the meta-analysis, were found to show that nurses are exposed to a high degree of mobbing behavior in Turkey. The relationship between mobbing and job satisfaction showed a negative and moderate correlation. In other words, as the mobbing level increases, the job satisfaction level decreases.

Mobbing Syndrome as a Personality Disorder: The Consequences of Complicated Socialisation in the Symptoms of Occupational Destruction

The relevance of this study is conditioned by the need to identify the key preconditions and causes of increased violence in the workplace to find new methods of combating mobbing at both international and national levels. The purpose of this study is to analyse mobbing as a psychosocial and medical phenomenon, which is logical to consider with the symptoms of professional destruction. The study of mobbing syndrome took place in two stages based on synergetic methodology using such general scientific research methods as analysis, synthesis, comparison, and systematisation. The study identified the specific features of mobbing at the Ukrainian and world level. The authors considered the main causes of mobbing behaviour as a social issue, as a social phenomenon of the organisation, and as a form of collective violence. The study provides reasoning regarding the necessity of studying the mobbing syndrome from the standpoint of psychosocial and medical aspects. The authors analysed fractal dynamics of mobbing formation, presented in somatogenesis, psychogenesis, and sociogenesis. The study presents the main predictors of professional destruction, which include individual-personal, i.e., total control, manipulation, and conflict, etc., and clinical, which include emotional instability, narcissism, steroidism, and more. It is determined that the types of individual's socialisation develop in accordance with the defensive mechanisms that prevail upon restoring one's security. The study considered the specific features of the clinical aspect of personality disorder. The authors provided a general description of the narcissistic type of personality disorder as a structure of mobster. The practical value of this study lies in the interdisciplinary investigation of mobbing syndrome based on psychosocial and methodological factors

Reed Warbler Hosts Do Not Fine-Tune Mobbing Defenses During the Breeding Season, Even When Cuckoos Are Rare

Hosts of brood parasitic cuckoos often employ mobbing attacks to defend their nests and, when mobbing is costly, hosts are predicted to adjust their mobbing to match parasitism risk. While evidence exists for fine-tuned plasticity, it remains unclear why mobbing does not track larger seasonal changes in parasitism risk. Here we test a possible explanation from parental investment theory: parents should defend their current brood more intensively as the opportunity to replace it declines (re-nesting potential), and therefore “counteract” any apparent seasonal decline to match parasitism risk. We take advantage of mobbing experiments conducted at two sites where reed warblers (Acrocephalus scirpaceus) experience (in Italy), or do not experience (in Finland), brood parasitism. We predicted that mobbing of cuckoos should be higher overall in Italy, but remain constant over the season as in other parasitised sites, whereas in Finland where cuckoos do not pose a local threat, we predicted that mobbing should be low at the beginning of the season but increase as re-nesting potential declined. However, while cuckoos were more likely to be mobbed in Italy, we found little evidence that mobbing changed over the season at either the parasitized or non-parasitized sites. This suggests that re-nesting potential has either little influence on mobbing behavior, or that its effects are obscured by other seasonal differences in ecology or experience of hosts.

THE IMPACT OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS’ EXPOSURE TO MOBBING BEHAVIOR ON ATTITUDES TOWARDS VIOLENCE AT WORK

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of mobbing behaviors of health workers at work on attitudes towards violence. Materials and Methods: The study included 75 health care workers who are working in the two different public hospitals. Data were collected between March and April 2016. A three-section questionnaire was used in the data collection. In the first section was contained the demographic characteristics of the participants. Other sections were “Workplace Psychologically Violent Behaviors (WPVB)" scale developed by Yıldırım and Yıldırım (2007) and "Adults’ Attitudes Scale Toward Violence Scale (AASTVS)" developed by Gür et al. (2016). Results: 82,7% of the participants in the research had one or more encountered workplace mobbing behavior from one or multiple times in the last 12 months. The most encountered mobbing behaviors of participants, respectively; attack on professional status (79%), attack on personality (76%), individual’s isolation from work (64%) and other negative behaviors (27%) were found. It is determined to be satisfied with the work of the participants medium level (2.58±1,1). In addition, when the participants have problems in their departmants, they stated that they receive support from 50.7% of the first-level manager, 46.7% of co-workers to solve. Conclusion: In this research, it is determined to participants are exposed to workplace psychological violence situations between attitudes towards violence were positive and moderately strong relationship (r = 0.447; p< 0.000) and the exposure to mobbing behavior an impact of 20% on attitudes towards violence.

Mobbing, organizational trust, voice and deviance behaviour among environmental health and safety professionals in Nigeria

This paper aims at assessing the present circumstances strongly associated with healthcare workers in Nigeria. Particular reference is to the recognition of the fact that mobbing and/or bullying stressors are being meted on environmental health workers by other medical and paramedical workers in the field in Nigeria. The study used environmental health workers as sampled population as well includes different actors from the healthcare work force to identify certain key elements associated with mobbing and/or bullying in a set of job-related organizational contexts. The data were obtained using an adopted questionnaire used by previous researchers. In line with this topic three objectives were developed Mobbing and Organizational Trusts, Mobbing and Voice Behaviour, Mobbing and Deviance behaviour. The total number of questionnaires distributed was 220 out of which 200 were dully filled and return for analysis. The results indicated that there is significant relationship between environmental health workers precisely working in the primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare being mobbed or bullied. The identified scene for such act has been identified to be when patients or guest are present in the facility where they work, at meetings or work briefing and during special area inspections. Worst still, was the non-inclusion of environmental health workers in the scheme of building plan, supervision, approval and smooth handing over of projects after completion for lifecycle inspection. The act tends to discourage their job performance and increase the prevalence of diseases related to environmental factors and conditions in the country. Chances are that an environmental health worker may be bullied if the officer insisted on inspecting sites where other professionals (Civil, mechanical, electrical, architects, surveyors amongst other) are in charge during construction. These led to the environmental health workers to suffer from psycho-industrial ailments or work stress, enjoy little satisfaction from their working conditions, and failed to perceive opportunities for promotions in their organizations and future progression in the profession. The implications of these findings could assist in reassuring environmental health workers enviable future, greater challenges and hopes, reduction IN environmentally driven diseases, policy recognition and medical family reintegration by facilitating, good social professional relationships among healthcare workers in the country.
