The green identity and green strategy: an interplay

ABSTRACT This study examined the complex interplay between ‘green identity’ and ‘green strategy’. A longitudinal case research method was applied to study a mining organisation in India. The study identified the three dimensions of ‘green identity’ and conceptualised four types of green identities. The green identities were the centre of strategic thinking and resource planning. It enhances cognitive interplay to strategise. The ‘green strategy’ and ‘green identity’ were interdependent. The ‘green identity’ as the organisation's central phenomenon was affected by ‘green strategy’, ‘organizational attributes’, ‘personal attributes’, and ‘external environment’. At the same time, ‘green identity’ also influences ‘green strategy’. There were four types of green strategy based on organisational identity and strategic expectation. Also, there were four types of employee sensemaking in the ‘green strategy-making’ based on employee identity and leader identity. The ‘green identity’ influenced the green strategy sensemaking process and vice-versa.

Human-centered design process and solutions to promote malaria testing and treatment seeking behavior in Guyana hinterlands

BackgroundMalaria is a persistent public health challenge among miners and other hard-to-reach populations in Guyana’s hinterland, specifically in Regions 1, 7, 8, and 9. Despite an overall decrease in malaria prevalence throughout Guyana, it remains common among mining populations whose work conditions both contribute toward malaria transmission and make it difficult to seek timely, Ministry of Health (MoH) approved malaria testing and treatment services. In an effort to develop innovative approaches to address this public health challenge, an interdisciplinary team of public health professionals, designers, and mining organizations collaborated using a human-centered design (HCD) process facilitated by the USAID-funded Breakthrough ACTION Guyana project in partnership with the MoH.MethodsThis paper describes two phases: [1] Define and [2] Design & Test. In the Define phase, following a literature review, we conducted 108 qualitative interviews with miners, camp managers, trained malaria testers, health workers, and other key stakeholders to understand experiences and challenges when seeking malaria testing and treatment services. These interviews were synthesized into 11 insights on issues such as risk perception, malaria knowledge, preventive behaviors, traditional and self-treatment, adherence to the correct treatment, testing, and coordination and communication gaps. From these insights, during the Design & Test phase, we developed 33 “How might we…?” questions which led to 792 ideas, of which eight emergent concepts were prototyped and refined in the field with 145 miners, camp managers, and stakeholders.ResultsThe five final prototypes included: “Little Mosquito, Big Problem” social behavior change campaign; rapid counseling cards; branded malaria testing and treatment services; innovations in treatment adherence; and a participants, content, and logistics approach.ConclusionWhen applying HCD to public health issues, there are both opportunities and challenges to reconcile gaps that may exist between the two disciplines. However, HCD provides additional tools and mindsets to generatively work with migrant and mobile mining communities to encourage malaria testing and treatment services.

Quality of Information Disclosed in Integrated Reports, in the Extracting Sector: Insights from Europe

Abstract The study explores to what extent are extracting organizations from the European region, disclosing relevant information about social and environmental practices. To pursue the current exploratory study, a qualitative approach composed of two steps is performed. The first is a content analysis of 15 oil & gas and mining organizations integrated reports proposing a compliance exercise toward the International Integrated Reporting Framework. Then in the second one, the integrated reports of our sample are analyzed using MAXQDA, with the extent to which social and environmental references are positive, neutral, or negative. Thus, the present paper represents the first attempt in qualitative studies in Integrated Reporting with a specific focus on extracting sector. Our results demonstrate that the analyzed sample discloses more information related to the environment than social disclosure.

Разработка системы непрерывного автоматического контроля запыленности и интенсивности пылеотложения как подсистемы многофункциональной системы безопасности угольной шахты

In connection with the growth of coal production and the load on mining enterprises, as well as the modernization of the main mining industries, the urgent task is to improve the level of industrial and occupational safety, which is impossible without improving the system for monitoring safety parameters in the automated mode. The control of dust and explosion safety of the mine workings in accordance with the safety requirements is conducted with special devices or other continuous equipment, in accordance with paragraph 22 of the Federal rules and regulations in the field of industrial safety «Safety rules in the coal mines». Within the framework of the article, the development of a new device for monitoring dust content and dust deposition is considered — a system for continuous automatic monitoring of dust content and intensity of dust deposition. Investigations of the regularities of the process of dust deposition of hovering coal dust were carried out depending on various factors affecting the distribution of dust along the network of the mine workings, namely, the grade composition of coal, a set of technological parameters and the parameters of atmospheric indicators. Performed complex of the laboratory and mine research of the innovation system confirmed the correctness of the developed physical model for assessing the state of dust and explosion safety in the coal mining. The system of continuous automatic monitoring of the dust content and the intensity of dust deposition meets the modern requirements of the Federal rules and regulations in the field of industrial safety in terms of automatic continuous measurement of dust concentration in the mine atmosphere, and (or) dust deposition, telemetry, remote signaling when the threshold values of dust deposition concentrations are exceeded, and in case of failure of the dust sensor, as well as local light and (or) sound alarms, automatic transmission of data on exceeding the threshold values of dust concentrations in the mine atmosphere, and (or) dust deposits in real time via communication channels to the coal mining organization.

Amalgamation: Social, technological, and legal entanglements in small-scale gold-mining regions in Colombia and Suriname

Popular and scholarly accounts often describe small-scale gold mining as a conflict-ridden economy that takes place in regions where state law is lacking. Our long-term ethnographic research in Colombia and Suriname has shown that stakeholder agendas in the goldfields, although often at variance, also come together in unexpected compromises and entanglements. We therefore propose to think of small-scale gold mining as an activity of not only conflict, but also of amalgamation; that is, as an activity that brings presumably adversary actors, labor practices, and governance systems together in temporary moments of conviviality. We present a three-pronged ethnographic analysis to sustain our proposition, thereby conceptualizing amalgamation as a social, technological, and legal phenomenon. First, we show that mining regions are characterized by social amalgamation; that is to say, by continuous compromises between the competing agendas of stakeholders. Second, we zoom in on technological amalgamation. We set out that technological differences that provoke hostility and conflict also have a more productive side, as miners employing various methods depend on each other in the process of gold extraction. And third, we provide illustrations of legal amalgamation that serve to highlight that the socio-political organization of small-scale gold mining, while largely happening outside the legal framework, comes into being through the symbolism and material infrastructure of the state.

Organizational competencies toward digital transformation at the events of disruptive changes: an operational process innovation perspective

PurposeDigital transformation becomes the future path for all organizations. Organizations are in need to progress the technology in the event of rapid environmental changes in all aspects. This implies the essential need to adapt to these changes, not only to benefit from the vast opportunities it offers yet even to stay relevant in this instability, complexity, uncertainty and vagueness environment. This paper aims to examine the impact of different variables such as disruptive change, technological process innovation and industry 4.0 (I4.0) on digital transformation. It helps identify the different capabilities needed for digitalization and digital maturity, identify the supporting methods for adopting different technologies and offer answers to overwhelmed those challenges and obstacles resulting in this environment.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative approach was used in conducting this research, whereas a questionnaire survey strategy was used for this investigation. In total, 450 participants have been surveyed from three major private mining organizations in the Jordanian context. Structural equation modeling was used for the analysis stage and hypotheses testing.FindingsThe results of the analysis revealed that support the direct impact of the event of disruptive change, technological process innovation on digital transformation. In addition, the results showed that there is a positive direct impact of the event of disruptive change on technological process innovation. While I4.0 was found to moderate the relationship between the event of disruptive change and digital transformation.Practical implicationsDecision-makers are responsible for directing their organization toward digitalization. This transformation needs capabilities that help organizations in competing and survive in this challenging environment. That is, it is essential to increase process innovation and moving toward more adoption of I4.0. However, the event of disruptive change should be considered as a motivation for the organizations rather than an obstacle. Moreover, different populations, methods and other variables that may affect digitalization may generate novel insights in further research.Originality/valueTheoretically, novel insights into the event of the disruptive change and its implications have been added to the literature. The models used in the current examination provide new directions for understanding and studying digital transformation and organizational capabilities that are needed for transformation. From the managerial perspective, these findings enhance understanding of practices in which the event of disruptive change supports innovation and highlight the values added through recommending more adopting of I4.0 applications to yield more innovative harvests.

Fatality risk management: Applying Quinlan’s Ten Pathways in Western Australia’s mining industry

In ‘Ten Pathways to Death and Disaster’ Professor Michael Quinlan (2014) identified a series of ten common catastrophic incident risk factors, known as the Ten Pathways, contributing to major incidents in mining and other high hazard industries. This study applies the Quinlan methodology in two separate phases. The first phase of the study explored employee perception of employer effectiveness of fatality prevention against each of the Ten Pathways through a questionnaire of n = 2009 participants at the 2017–2019 Western Australian Government Mines Safety Roadshows. Respondents generally perceived their employer as having a relatively good understanding of the role of risk assessments and their importance in preventing injuries yet perceived their employers as generally ineffective in management system auditing. In the second phase of the study, 71 fatality reports on the Western Australian Government Department of Mines Fatalities register were assessed to identify the Ten Pathways involved in the fatality. The analysis identified fatalities typically included four or five of the Ten Pathways, although none of the investigations analysed all Ten Pathways. A combined assessment of employee perceptions of employer’s effectiveness at fatality prevention and pathways present in the Mines Fatalities register identified which Quinlan Ten Pathways mining organisations should prioritise for fatality prevention. It is recommended that benchmarking safety performance, incident investigations, and reviews of effectiveness of safety management systems include an examination and verification of the organisation’s response to Ten Pathways, a relatively straight forward task which may highlight latent issues or weaknesses that may otherwise remain undetected.

The impact of the Fairmined Certification on the well-being of small-scale miners: Evidence from Colombia and Peru

In this study, we estimate the impact of the Fairmined certification scheme on the well-being of participating artisanal and small-scale gold miners in Colombia and Peru. First, we collected information through phone surveys of certified and non-certified miners. Second, we constructed a well-being index that covers multiple dimensions of well-being, including material and subjective measures. Third, through linear regression techniques and propensity score matching, we compared certified miners (treatment group) to non-certified ones (control group). The results indicate that, on average, Fairmined certified miners enjoy higher well-being scores than those who do not belong to a certified mining organization.

Investigating the effects of employee empowerment on turnover intention in a mining organisation

Orientation: Mining plays a significant role in the South African economy and is crucial for job creation opportunities. Mining organisations are plagued by various challenges, which include turnover intention.Research purpose: The current study sought to establish whether employee empowerment (psychological and structural empowerment) predicts turnover intention in a mining organisation.Research approach/design and method: The study followed a quantitative research approach and used a cross-sectional design. A non-probability sampling technique was used, and a purposive sampling method was selected. The sample comprised 371 mining employees (men = 276; women = 95). Data were collected through pre-established measures, all of which reported acceptable Cronbach’s alphas. Various statistical techniques were employed to address the main research objective.Main findings: Employee empowerment negatively impacts turnover intention. The employees who perceived having informal power were more likely to consider leaving the organisation. Employees who perceived less formal power were more likely to consider leaving than the employees who perceived having formal power.Practical/managerial implications: Recommendations are made to HR practitioners regarding employee empowerment of mining employees, which, when implemented, have the potential to reduce employee turnover intention.Contribution/value-add: The results of this study provide a better understanding to human resource managers about the relationship between employee empowerment and turnover intention of mining personnel. This study contributed to theory, as some key findings are different from previous studies within the South African context.

Introduction to 2021-2

This issue of Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies compiles six original research articles from the Nordic countries.The first article brings us to Finland. In The Experience Qualities Approach to Leadership and Employee Well-being, Ilkka Salmi and her co-authors present a study that illustrate how a new research approach enables researchers on leadership and employee well- being to conceptualize and study ‘experience’ in new ways. Based on semi-structured interviews with 23 leaders and employees in an international mining organization located in Finland, the article illustrates how the approach helps to identify the relation- ship between leaders’ and employees’ experiences and well-being by nuancing ‘general experiences’ to not only include emotions but also experience qualities such as knowledge and assumptions.

Supervisor support and work engagement: The mediating role of psychological safety in a post-restructuring business organisation

The present study aimed to examine employee perceptions of supervisor support, psychological safety, and work engagement in a restructuring mining organisation. Participants were 253 employees of a South African mining organisation (male = 65%; African = 57%; skilled supervisory technicians = 44%; and employees with 10–15 years’ experience = 23%). They completed self-report measures of supervisor support, psychological safety, and work engagement. Following structural equation modelling, results indicated that employee perception of improvement in supervisor support enhance both psychological safety and work engagement amongst retained employees. The results further indicated psychological safety to mediate the relationship between supervisor support and work engagement, thereby confirming the importance of psychological safety amongst retained employees. Psychological safety and work engagement would be important to workforce adaptation with business organisation restructuring.

Труд и питание горняков бронзового века Южного Зауралья (по данным изотопного состава стронция в остеологических остатках рудника Новотемирский)

The article addresses organization of Late Bronze Age mining in the Southern Trans-Urals, in particular the degrees of its specialization and the scale of exchange operations. The main object is bone remains from the cultural layer of the II millennium BC of the Novotemirsky mine. The species and age composition of domestic animals are similar to the settlement materials of the Sintashta, Srubnaya-Alakul, and Sargary-Alekseevo settlements of the region. Comparison of 87 Sr/86 Sr variations in local bioavailable strontium baseline proxies and archaeological samples has indicated that the range of cattle grazing was located mainly within the immediate vicinity of the Novotemirsky mine. The results suggest that the mining organization model implemented at the Novotemirsky mine was similar to the Alakul culture of the Ural-Mugodzhary mining and metallurgical center and was characterized by the absence of specialized miner settlements, and the participation of the population of nearby villages in labor and meals organization at the mines, as well as by the poor development of trade and exchange operations.

About the monograph “Collection and jewelry cassiterite”

Specialists of the Sergo Ordzhonikidze Russian State University for Geological Prospecting (MGRI), which had been training gemologists for many years, conducted an interesting and substantial study devoted to a non-traditional use of cassiterite, a mineral known to man for millennia. The monograph2 under review discusses various aspects of the use of cassiterite, as well as its accompanying minerals, for producing jewelry, collection and ornamental materials. Given the increasing popularity of natural minerals in recent decades, there is a growth of interest among collectors and manufacturers in non-traditional semi-precious stone raw materials and their use in the jewelry industry. The world trade in this area is significant and continues to demonstrate an increasing trend. In this regard, the work of D.A. Petrochenkov devoted to jewelry and ornamental cassiterites seems to be highly relevant. For the first time in world practice, the monograph comprehensively covers questions concerning cassiterite and its application, thus contributing to popularization of cassiterite jewelry and craftsmanship and laying the foundation for a new direction in the semi-precious stone industry. The author of the monograph critically reviewed the results of previous studies on the mineral and chemical composition of cassiterite and added an extensive set of his own analytical methods. The gemological and technological characteristics of cassiterite minerals were given, along with recommendations on their rational search, use and quality improvement. In term of ecological parameters, it was shown that the content of carcinogenic and radioactive elements in jewelry cassiterites does not exceed the background values. The market conditions were described, and recommendations on the organization of mining and geological work in this sphere were presented.

Разработка и внедрение практико-ориентированной процессной модели системы менеджмента риска на предприятиях горной промышленности

The overview information is provided concerning the state of affairs in the mining industry in the field of industrial safety. It is shown that the multifactorial nature of the occupational risks (industrial, fire, environmental) forms a request for the development of risk monitoring system, as a result, a risk management system at hazardous facilities in accordance with the requirements of the supervisory authorities of the Russian Federation. The urgency and advisability of the application of process approach at the stage of development and implementation of the risk management system in the organizations and industrial enterprises of mining industry based on GOST R ISO 31000—2019 «Risk management. Principles and Guidelines» which establishes the basic approaches required for ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the risk monitoring system. The analysis is given related to the advantages and opportunities in the implementation of risk management in the organization. Process model of the risk management system in the mining organizations at the stage of development and implementation based on Deming PDCA cycle was built. Graphical map of the risk management system processes was developed and presented which complies with the requirements of GOST R ISO 31000—2019. The process of creating the risk management system using SADT (Structured Analysis and Design Technique) and IDEF0 methodology is shown in the article. The main context diagram of the process of creating the risk management system in IDEF0 notation was developed. The decomposition of the processes of the second and third levels is presented, all their functional links are described. Balance of the developed models is confirmed by the quantitative analysis of subprocess diagrams. It is demonstrated that the process approach used at designing the risk management system allows to structure the composition of processes, clearly define input and output parameters of the processes, process participants, resources, and ensure control and process adjustment.

Swedish study shows how managers in forestry and mining industries blame gender inequality on male, blue-collar workers

PurposeIn previous studies of the subject women had received more attention as both the problem and solution. Instead, the authors wanted to focus on how power relations of gender, class and place all have a role to play in how the problem is “constructed.”Design/methodology/approachThey used material from four previous research projects in the same industries as a point of departure. The first project examined gender equality in four forestry work organizations. The second project analyzed existing methods for increasing gender equality in forestry organizations. The aim of the third project was to examine gender patterns and equality initiatives in Nordic mining organizations. Finally, the fourth project merged theory concerning industrial workplace relations with gender theory and knowledge about gender equality interventions.FindingsThe data revealed that gender, class and place are powerful intersecting forces when it comes to “constructing” gender equality in male-dominated industries. Company managers formulating policies tended to blame gender inequality on groups of male, blue-collar workers who represented ‘uneducated’ masculinity in a rural context.Originality/valueFraming the issue of gender inequality as a problem of rural, blue-collar masculinity risked reinforcing class-based and place-based inequalities in forestry and mining. Therefore, bringing these exclusionary norms into light helped to broaden the discussion. Instead, companies should focus more on the structures and daily practices embedded in their organizations. From a research point of view, the study had a lot of lessons about challenging organizational inequalities. Meanwhile, from an organizational perspective, a heightened awareness of the interrelated power relations of class, place and gender could help sharpen processes for change.

THE TSARIST IRON WORKS IN RUSSIA IN THE 17TH CENTURY

The palace manufacturing industry in Russia in the 17th century was represented by glass, morocco, linen, iron-making manufactories. They used the most advanced European technologies. Manufactories developed due to the exploitation of the population of the royal fiefdoms, soldiers, archers, domestic and foreign employees. Most of the products were intended for the needs of the royal family, a smaller one portion was used as sovereign grants and was bought up by the first-class nobility of Russia. A certain number of finished products were supplied to the domestic and international markets. The products of the palace iron works were exported abroad. At the same time, the organization of their activities in historical science remains virtually unexplored. The novelty of this article lies in the formulation of a scientific problem. Here is the list of points that were covered in our research. The role of the tsarist iron works in the economy of the tsarist domain in Russia in the 17th century is determined. The main types of products of the palace iron-making manufactories are identified. The features of their functioning are studied. The article analyzes the conditions under which Dutch entrepreneurs rented tsarist iron works in the Russian state in the 17th century. Methods of providing industrial facilities with labor are shown. The significance of the Ministry of Secret Affairs in the organization of iron ore mining, which was in charge of the royal iron works, is determined. Their historical and geographical coordinates are indicated. The features of sales of finished products are covered. The evolution of the tsarist iron-making industry in Russia during the 17th century is explained. In the palace fiefdoms, natural and human resources were used as much as possible. In the 17th century, in five districts of Russia (Maloyaroslavsky, Obolensky, Tula, Kashirsky, Moscow), the tsarist iron factories functioned. On which they used European experience in the use of production processes. Foreign specialists and entrepreneurs were invited to Russia. Dutch merchants A. Vinius, E. Vickens, P. Marselis, F. Akema, R. Adrian received a monopoly on the extraction of iron ore, the establishment of factories on unpopulated palace lands.

Tax aspects of mining companies in V4 countries

Presently there is no definite agreement of taxes definition. Most of the statistics include to tax incomes all obligatory fee of the public sector, which is not based on principles of equivalency. In this case, taxes can be defined as obligatory fees of the public sector, to which governments do not provide direct equal consideration. Modern tax systems are based on the taxation of incomes, consumption, and property. The trend in the area of EU countries taxation is a transition of the tax burden from incomes and capital to consumption. Mainly conditions of mining organisations are presented in the contribution when tax rates and trends in the area of income tax of mining organisations are described. The goal of the contribution is to describe the tax burden of business subjects (mining and extraction organisations) in Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, and the Czech Republic. In the contribution, we orientate the research to a detailed analysis of tax rates in chosen countries. The contribution consists of results conclusions, found by analysis, as well as by comparison of the tax burden of V4 business subjects. The result of the problem analysis presents suggestions of the tax mix change and transition to the relatively high tax burden of a job, mainly for low-income employees, to the lower tax burden of high taxes, as for example, environmental taxes. The results are useful for the management of mining organisations, which provide a possibility of financial savings. On the international level, the results serve for the comparing of the financial situation of mining organisations in V4 countries, which is suitable for a determination of raw material states policies.

Malaria prevention and care seeking among gold miners in Guyana.

Despite being a priority population in malaria elimination, there is scant literature on malaria-related behavior among gold miners. This study explores the prevalence and factors influencing malaria prevention, care seeking and treatment behaviors in Guyana gold mining camps. A cross sectional survey was conducted among adult gold miners living in mining camps in the hinterland Regions 1 (Barima-Waini), 7 (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), and 8 (Potaro-Siparuni). Multivariable logistic regressions explored factors associated with miners’ self-report of mosquito net use, prompt care-seeking; self-medication; and testing for malaria. A third of miners used a mosquito net the night preceding the survey and net use was higher among those who believed that net use was the norm in their camp (aOR: 3.11; 95% CI:1.65, 5.88). Less than half (45%) of miners had a fever in the past 12 months, among whom 36% sought care promptly, 48% tested positive for malaria while 54% self-medicated before seeking care. Prompt care-seeking was higher among miners with high malaria knowledge (aOR: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.01, 2.05). Similarly, testing rates increased with secondary education (aOR: 1.71; 95% CI: (1.16, 2.51), high malaria knowledge (aOR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.02, 2.05), positive beliefs regarding malaria transmission, threat, self-diagnosis, testing and treatment, and, trust in government services (aOR: 1.59; 95% CI (1.12, 2.27) and experience of a prior malaria episode (aOR: 2.62; 95% CI: 1.71, 4.00). Self-medication was lower among male miners (aOR: 0. 52; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.86). Malaria prevention and care seeking behaviors among miners are somewhat low and influenced by mosquito net usage, perceived norms, malaria knowledge and prior episode of confirmed malaria. Study findings have implications for malaria interventions in the hinterland regions of Guyana such as the mass and continuous distribution of insecticide treated nets as well as community case management initiatives using trained malaria testing and treatment volunteers to curb malaria transmission among remote gold mining populations. These include efforts to identify and address gaps in distributing mosquito nets to miners and address miners’ barriers to prompt care seeking, malaria testing and treatment adherence. Targeted social and behavior change messaging is needed on net acquisition, use and care, prompt care-seeking, malaria testing and treatment adherence. Additional efforts to ensure the overall sustainability of the community case management initiative include increased publicity of the community case management initiative among miners, use of incentives to promote retention rates among the community case management volunteer testers and public private partnerships between the Guyana Ministry of Health and relevant mining organizations.

Innovation in the area of transportation of powdery matters. Elevator conveyors, Redler chain conveyors and Metal spiral conveyors

The article points out the problems occurring on transport routes within the transfer of mined materials on technological lines for mineral processing, finds possible solutions in increasing the service lifespan of individual parts and in the field of maintenance helps to protect the health at work of employees of mining organizations and their suppliers. It contains the issue of the operation of technological line as one large unit, which combines innovative solutions with the use of modern materials, increasing service lifespan, reducing repair costs and reducing the frequency of repairs – especially those that are cyclically recurring. All this helps to eliminate the number of accidents and this is the reason why it protects the operator of the technological line. Ultimately, maintenance costs become more efficient despite relatively higher acquisition costs in the initial phase.
