The Religious Factor in the Development of Folk Education in Podillia (1864–1917): Historical and Comparative Aspects of Spiritual and Intellectual Education

The article analyzes the role of the religious factor in the development of folk education in Podillia between 1864 and 1917, particularly in the context of the educational reforms of the Russian Empire. The study explores the relationship between religious education and general education in religious institutions such as monastery schools, theological seminaries, parish schools, as well as the role of state zemstvo schools. It emphasizes that religious education, alongside general education, played an important role in shaping moral and ethical standards, especially in the context of Podillia, a multi-confessional region where Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Jews, and Protestants coexisted. The article examines the specific features of religious education for each of these groups, providing a comprehensive view of the educational situation in Podillia during this period. Particular attention is paid to religious schools as instruments for preserving national and cultural traditions in the context of the policy of Russification implemented by the Russian Empire, especially in the western provinces. The study investigates how, despite efforts by the government to Russify education, church schools not only provided religious instruction but also fundamental general education, thus preparing students for adult life. The article also analyzes spiritual and intellectual education, which became the foundation for forming civic values, social norms, and an active civic stance under imperial rule. Church educational institutions in Podillia became centers for preserving religious identity, which in turn supported the development of national consciousness in the region. A comparative analysis of religious schools among different ethnic and religious groups allows for a deeper understanding of the role of education in cultural processes at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Until 1917, religion played an important role in shaping education in Podillia, where parochial schools were the basis for the moral upbringing of young people. However, after the revolution and the secularization of education, not only the learning process itself but also the cultural and moral climate changed. The loss of the religious component in education led to significant changes in society, including the spread of socialist ideas that differed significantly from traditional Christian values.

Influencia del liderazgo ético sobre el agotamiento emocional en el sector eléctrico colombiano. El papel moderador de un clima ético de principios

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of ethical leadership on emotional exhaustion in the Colombian electricity sector through the moderating role of a principled ethical climate, with a simple moderation scheme. The research design was transversal with a non-experimental scope. The sample was calculated probabilistically by conglomerates. A total of 175 women and 273 men from six organizations in the Colombian electricity sector participated. According to the results, ethical leadership and a principled climate are negatively related to emotional exhaustion. However, when ethical leadership transits through a highly moral principled climate, this relationship changes its meaning. In conclusion, ethical leadership and a principled ethical climate attenuate follower emotional exhaustion as long as there is a balance between the personal and managerial aspects conveyed by the leader.

Framing Collective Moral Responsibility for Climate Change: A Longitudinal Frame Analysis of Energy Company Climate Reporting

AbstractResponding to climate change and avoiding irreversible climate tipping points requires radical and drastic action by 2030. This urgency raises serious questions for energy companies, one of the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs), in terms of how they frame, and reframe, their response to climate change. Despite the majority of energy companies releasing ambitious statements declaring net zero carbon ambitions, this ‘talk’ has not been matched with sufficient urgency or substantive climate action. To unpack the disconnect between talk and action, this paper draws on the literature on framing, organisational hypocrisy, and collective moral responsibility. We conduct a longitudinal qualitative content analysis of the framing of climate change used by the ten largest European investor-owned energy companies and the actions they have taken to shift their business practices. Our findings reveal three main categories of energy companies: (i) deflecting, (ii) stagnating, and (iii) evolving. We show key differences in the relationship between framing and action over time for each category, revealing how deflecting companies have larger and persistent gaps between green talk and concrete action and how stagnating companies are delaying action despite increased green talk, while evolving companies exhibit a closer link between talk and action that tends to be realised over time. Our analysis reveals how competing approaches to framing collective moral responsibility help understand the trajectories of talk and action across the different categories of energy companies. This research makes several contributions to the literature on organisational hypocrisy and collective moral responsibility in the context of climate change. Our analysis highlights the complex relationship between collective moral responsibility, organisational hypocrisy and climate action, revealing how different collective framings—diffuse, teleological, or agential—can both enable and offset substantive climate action. The study also enriches our understanding of the performative nature of collective moral responsibility by examining its temporal dimensions and showing how an agential, backward-looking focus is associated with more meaningful climate action.

Moral distress among acute mental health nurses: A systematic review.

Moral distress has been identified as an occupational hazard for clinicians caring for vulnerable populations. The aim of this systematic review was (i) to summarize the literature reporting on prevalence of, and factors related to, moral distress among nurses within acute mental health settings, and (ii) to examine the efficacy of interventions designed to address moral distress among nurses within this clinical setting. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in October 2022 utilizing Nursing & Allied Health, Embase, CINAHL, PsychInfo, and PubMed databases to identify eligible studies published in English from January 2000 to October 2022. Ten studies met inclusion criteria. Four quantitative studies assessed moral distress among nurses in acute mental health settings and examined relationships between moral distress and other psychological and work-related variables. Six qualitative studies explored the phenomenon of moral distress as experienced by nurses working in acute mental health settings. The quantitative studies assessed moral distress using the Moral Distress Scale for Psychiatric Nurses (MDS-P) or the Work-Related Moral Stress Questionnaire. These studies identified relationships between moral distress and emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, cynicism, poorer job satisfaction, less sense of coherence, poorer moral climate, and less experience of moral support. Qualitative studies revealed factors associated with moral distress, including lack of action, poor conduct by colleagues, time pressures, professional, policy and legal implications, aggression, and patient safety. No interventions targeting moral distress among nurses in acute mental health settings were identified. Overall, this review identified that moral distress is prevalent among nurses working in acute mental health settings and is associated with poorer outcomes for nurses, patients, and organizations. Research is urgently needed to develop and test evidence-based interventions to address moral distress among mental health nurses and to evaluate individual and system-level intervention effects on nurses, clinical care, and patient outcomes.

Channeling Employees’ Positive Moral Emotions in CEO Activism: The Role of Care-Oriented Leadership Communication

ABSTRACT CEO activism has the potential to inspire employees’ activism and engender a broad societal impact. Yet, few studies have provided empirical evidence exploring the impact of CEO activism on employees’ cognition, emotion, and behavior. Drawing on multidisciplinary insights from moral psychology theories, signaling theory, social learning theory, and build-and-broaden theory of positive emotions, we theorize a conceptual framework that delineates how CEOs’ communication stressing the moral value of ethics of care triggers employees’ other-directed positive moral emotions of gratitude, admiration, and elevation, which in term enhance employees’ perceived organizational virtuousness and their advocacy behavioral intentions in accord with the CEOs’ stances. The framework was supported by an online survey with 575 full-time U.S. employees. Our study sheds light on how CEOs can unleash the power of their activism in promoting a moral climate within their organization and producing a collective impact among their followers to enhance societal well-being.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ САМОРЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ЖІНКИ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ

The article is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of the formation and self-realization of a modern Ukrainian woman in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is argued that self-realization is mainly a conscious, purposeful process of disclosure and objectification of the essential forces of the personality in its various practical activities. The formation of a socially active and harmoniously developed woman depends to a large extent on the personal efforts of the person focused on self-improvement and self-realization as an indispensable condition for achieving success in life. In the context of the current transformation of society, gender stereotypes and gender roles are further changing. More and more women are abandoning traditionally assigned gender roles and taking on new social spheres and corresponding social roles. The complexity of the situation for women lies in the need to combine different gender role models of behavior. It has been found that, despite gender stereotypes and prejudices, many women under martial law took an active part in combat operations, performing combat support tasks, providing medical care, and other important tasks of military service. Some women serve alongside men on the front lines, performing the same roles as riflemen, commanders, and artillerymen. Their courage and determination have set an example for others, while demonstrating that women can be just as effective as men. Many women serve as medics, saving the lives of the wounded, often under enemy fire. Their contribution to saving lives is hard to overestimate. Women scouts, communications operators, and other specialists help ensure successful operations on the battlefield by providing critical information and communication. It is recognized that the burden of war is especially difficult for women who are forced to provide for family life and raise children in difficult conditions when they often cannot rely on a reliable male shoulder. It has been established that women serving in the Ukrainian armed forces have proven to be extremely dedicated, courageous, and competent servicewomen. They try to create a favourable psychological and moral climate, minimising risks and levelling the unattractive features of war.

Conditions for the provision of psychiatric care under compulsion: civil law aspect

The article is devoted to the issues of compulsory psychiatric care and ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of a person suffering from mental disorders and subjected to compulsory medical measures. It is noted that the level of a person’s mental health is determined by the influence of many factors – social, biological and psychological. The analysis of current legislation and specialised literature are allowed the author to argue that the issue of mental health of people, the population as a whole, is relevant today also because humanity is faced with various stress factors which can negatively affect human health, and in particular, mental health, worsen the moral and psychological climate in the family due to illness or death of loved ones, devastating natural disasters with a huge number of victims, military conflicts, military operations, including in Ukraine, which entail huge human losses and cause suffering for many.
 The author is substantiated the conclusion that compulsory psychiatric care is possible and necessary on the following grounds: the presence (assumption) of an acute mental illness or exacerbation of a chronic mental illness requiring inpatient treatment; danger of a mentally ill person to others or to himself/herself (psychomotor agitation with a tendency to aggressive actions, systematic delusional syndromes if they determine the patient’s socially dangerous behaviour, depressive states with suicidal tendencies, epileptic status, manic and hypomanic states that cause violations of public order or aggressive behaviour towards others, etc. etc.); inpatient examination (labour, military, forensic psychiatric).

Comparative analysis of labor productivity factors of personnel of medical organizations providing care to patients with cardiovascular diseases

The issues of improving efficiency of health care institutions are increasingly becoming the center of scientific discussions. The purpose of the study is to examine the subjective assessments of medical organizations staff regarding factors of labor productivity. Objectives of the study: to analyze the existing approaches to the study of labor productivity factors of medical personnel, to study the opinion of medical organizations staff regarding labor productivity factors, to identify the most significant of them, and to conduct a comparative analysis of the data obtained in the course of sociological research in medical organizations providing medical care to patients with cardiovascular diseases in the Kemerovo Region – Kuzbass. The authors have studied the conclusions and findings of selected foreign and domestic experts in this field of research. The presented study identifies the key factors that can increase labor productivity of all categories of personnel on the example of two medical institutions providing care to patients with cardiovascular diseases, namely: presence of a system of material (non-material) incentives, level of material and technical support, moral and psychological climate, working conditions, and regular professional development. Common and special features of two organizations have been shown. Differences in assessing labor productivity factors in different professional categories have been found. The results obtained can be used as a basis for improving personnel policy in direction of increasing labor productivity in health care and medical science institutions.

God and Gaia: Science, Religion and Ethics on a Living Planet

GOD AND GAIA: Science, Religion and Ethics on a Living Planet by Michael S. Northcott. New York: Routledge, 2023. 271 pages. Paperback; $40.00. ISBN: 9780367627744. *Biodiversity loss, water pollution, and declining soil health are major indicators of the ecological crisis facing our planet today. Science can be consulted to address these issues; however, as Michael Northcott argues in his latest book, God and Gaia: Science, Religion and Ethics on a Living Planet, unless science resists its scientism it will only exacerbate the current ecological crisis. *Northcott, an ordained Anglican priest and Professor Emeritus of Ethics at the University of Edinburgh, has written extensively on environmental issues.1 In God and Gaia, Northcott explores the Gaia theory of James Lovelock--that "the Earth and her creatures are active agents in the generation of conditions which make the Earth habitable for Life" (p. 2)--from a religious ethics perspective. In effect, "God" in the book title does not indicate that the author will be taking a specifically Christian angle on the Gaia theory, but rather taking something more akin to a comparative religions approach. The book is a collection of previously published papers along with new material curated into eight chapters, each with its own abstract and notes section. This arrangement, along with chapter subheadings, aids the reader in following along with Northcott's exploration of the Gaia theory. Northcott draws from a variety of published sources, along with his diverse experiences in Borneo, to get his main points across regarding the dangers of scientism in contrast to the restorative powers of Gaia. *Scientism, the condition in which only knowledge gained from observations is considered true, is an ideology that has created, according to Northcott, a "bifurcation between nature and culture." Northcott provides a history of scientism describing how, following the European enlightenment, anything that was not measurable tended to be viewed with suspicion by many in the West. He elaborates that scientific reductionism led to a top-down approach where the "rights of corporate agents trump the rights of people and species to stable and safe habitats" (p. 157). Northcott uses the example of the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic to demonstrate the full potential of scientism and its globalist and technocratic top-down control. Here, Northcott's one-sided argument regarding the benefits of ivermectin, the ineffectiveness of vaccines, the dangers of lockdowns, and the evils of the United Nations may distract readers from his intent of describing top-down control. *In contrast to scientism and its top-down control, Northcott recommends a Gaian approach to addressing the ecological crisis. While God and Gaia is not an introductory textbook, it does provide a thorough overview of the theory and its history. With an understanding of the Gaia theory in place, Northcott focuses on connections between Gaia and Hindu, Taoist, and Christian religious traditions. For Northcott, the Gaia theory can be interpreted as a rediscovery of beliefs held by earlier faith traditions. With great respect, he demonstrates how the Vedic Trinity and the Tao have parallels with Gaia theory's emphasis on the agency of all organisms. Northcott then eloquently demonstrates that medieval Christianity also emphasized the sense of agency in all organisms. Northcott, drawing on philosophers such as Seyyed Hossein Nasr, explains that most western Christians are unaware of the sacred cosmology of their tradition and its emphasis on the agency of being. For the betterment of the planet, Northcott urges religious traditions "to make more prominent in their liturgies the symbiotic relations between humans and other animals which for most of human history has been central to their mutual flourishing" (p. 261). *Overall, God and Gaia does an excellent job of contrasting the current approach of scientism versus the moral and spiritual Gaian philosophy to address the ecological crisis. Northcott is calling for a revival of core aspects of human traditions which modern secular science and philosophy have diminished. This Gaian revival recognizes the agency of all of Earth's systems. Although the Gaian revival and its earth-centered philosophy deviates from a distinctly Christian approach to creation care, readers should find some comfort in this revival as it shows that we are not alone in our efforts to restore the ecological integrity of the Earth. *Note *1See Michael S.

FORMATION OF A SYSTEM OF CREATIVE MANAGEMENT AT THE ENTERPRISE

Relevance. At the present stage of society's development, new socio-economic processes are coming to the fore, which are inextricably linked to a new understanding of the essence of a person, with the growing role of the individual. In a time of market oversaturation, creativity is the key to a company's competitiveness. Ensuring the continuous development of the enterprise and its competitiveness in the context of capital intellectualization is impossible without the formation of personnel with the necessary knowledge and competencies. The purpose of the study. The purpose of the article is to study the possibilities of applying the creative management system in organizations and enterprises in the field of culture and art in the context of complex socio-economic changes: digitalization, quarantine restrictions, development of information resources that require new approaches to management. Methodology. The study used methods based on general economic statements, in particular, general scientific methods of analysis - detailing individual factors; comparison - highlighting the common features of the impact of individual factors and the method of logical comparison, as well as specific modeling methods - creating models for analyzing the internal environment and expert assessments - summarizing the results of the impact of internal environment factors. Results. One of the main components of the potential for enterprise development is the intellectual resources of management entities. Considering that management entities have different levels of professional training, work experience, collective and individual goals based on needs, preferences, ambitions, etc., the use of intellectual resources for the development of an organization is quite problematic. The concept of creative management is a combination of three concepts: "creativity", "management" and "organization". The term "creativity" (English: creativity, Latin. "creatio) means the creation of something new. There are two main criteria for assessing creativity: the result (quantity and quality); rejection of strategic stereotypes of thinking and action. The study examined the possibilities of applying the creative management system at enterprises in the context of complex socio-economic changes: digitalization, quarantine restrictions, development of information resources that require new approaches to management, identified theoretical aspects of the formation of a creative management system at an enterprise; characterized creativity as a modern trend in enterprise management and formed the principles of creative management implementation, as well as proposed styles for use. Practical significance. The results of this study can be used by enterprises to intensify the generation of ideas, improve the moral and psychological climate in the team and increase the realization of the human potential of employees. Prospects for further research. Further study requires research and definition of the tools of creative management and adaptation of methods and tools to the activities of enterprises in various fields of activity in order to obtain new data on the effectiveness of the application of certain criteria of enterprise activity. Problem statement. In the context of intellectualization of capital, the so-called innovative employees are of particular value to the enterprise, whose competencies include creativity, originality of ideas, creativity, and non-standard approaches to solving professional problems. In line with these trends, a specific branch of management has emerged - creative management, which is aimed at the formation, retention and development of creative employees.

The predictive factors of moral courage among hospital nurses

BackgroundHaving moral courage is a crucial characteristic for nurses to handle ethical quandaries, stay true to their professional obligations towards patients, and uphold ethical principles. This concept can be influenced by various factors including personal, professional, organizational, and leadership considerations. The purpose of this study was to explore the predictors of moral courage among nurses working in hospitals.MethodsIn 2018, an observational cross-sectional study was carried out on 267 nurses employed in six hospitals located in the northern region of Iran. The participants were selected through a simple random sampling technique. To collect data, a demographic information form was used along with two questionnaires. The first questionnaire was a standard survey on moral courage, while the second questionnaire was designed to assess the ethical climate. Linear regression was used to assess the predictors of moral courage.ResultsNurses had an average moral courage score of 87.07 ± 15.52 and an average moral climate score of 96.12 ± 17.17. The study showed that 16% of the variation in moral courage scores among nurses was explained by ethical climate and monthly overtime hours.ConclusionThis study underscores the significance of establishing an ethical work environment and minimizing overtime hours in order to enhance moral courage among nurses. These findings carry weight for both nursing practice and organizational policies focused on fostering ethical conduct within healthcare settings.
