What Does Employee Silence Mean? the Role of Organizational Climate and Burnout

The avoidance of employees to express and share their ideas and opinions about organizational issues leads to the multidimensional concept of employee silence. From an organizational perspective, it is necessary to take in consideration that individuals tend to remain silent about situations that are less positive in the organization. But silence is not just the absence of voice or communication. Silence prevents individuals from carrying out their work in the most appropriate way, can act as a barrier to organizational change and can influence the employee well-being. Acquiescent silence is the retention of information considered relevant, based on resignation and submission (passive retention) and quiescent silence comes from fear of the negative consequences from sharing information, being used as a form of self-protection. Prosocial silence is related to altruistic motives and opportunistic silence is used to obtain personal advantages. It becomes relevant to determine the factors associated with this silence and what are the implications of employee silence on employee well-being. Thus, the objectives of this study are i) to study the of employee silence motives, ii) to understand whether two of the dimensions of the authentizotic organizational climate (leader´s trust and credibility and opportunities for learning and personal development) are antecedents of employee silence and iii) to study the consequences of employee silence motives on burnout. A quantitative study is conducted, using a questionnaire survey applied to a sample of 222 individuals, working in different portuguese organizations. The confirmatory factor analysis identifies four employee silence motives. The regression analyses highlighted that authentizotic psychological climate dimensions, namely learning and personal development opportunities, were predictors of the three dimensions of employee silence: quiescent silence, aquiescent silence and opportunistic silence. Regarding the impact of employees’ silence on burnout, aquiescent silence stood out as the main predictor of different burnout dimensions: emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment and depersonalization. Finally, it can be concluded that acquiescent silence seems to stand out as the silence variable most explained by authentizotic organizational climate and the one that most explains the appearance of burnout. The findings can be used by human resources managers.

SPECIFICITIES OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PARALYSIS IN A FAMILY-ORIENTED MODEL OF INTERVENTIONS

Families with a child with cerebral palsy (CP) face a number of medical, economic, legal, educational and psychological problems from the moment of birth. The main responsibility for the child's development lies with families, as it is there that key aspects of the child's personality are formed. There is a clear dependence of a child's psychological and physical health on the psychological climate of the family. Children with such disorders need to be provided with favorable conditions that will help compensate for the consequences of their disabilities. They need the support of qualified specialists and, most importantly, a warm and friendly attitude from their parents and the environment [1]. It should be emphasized that there are a number of factors that contribute to the psychological maladjustment of children with cerebral palsy in the family environment, which should be known to the child's relatives. First and foremost, it is the inadequate assessment of physical and mental development by parents, as well as the psychological atmosphere in the family. These factors cause deformation of the child's psyche and complicate his or her social adaptation, and negatively affect motor activity and treatment and rehabilitation processes. There are two sides to this situation: on the one hand, parents who find it difficult to understand the complexity of the situation and the child who needs special care, treatment and education. Physical rehabilitation requires the active participation of the person being rehabilitated, but with children, especially young children, this process is too complex for quality rehabilitation and requires the participation of parents. It is also important to take into account the role of the family in the development of motor skills, as it helps to integrate therapeutic techniques into the child's daily life. The aim of the study was to analyze the latest research and approaches to determine the peculiarities of cooperation between a physical therapist and families raising children with cerebral palsy. Using the Internet search databases and the bibliosemantic method, the peculiarities of applying a family-centered approach, motor training, principles of neuroplasticity and home exercise programs to improve the motor activity of children with cerebral palsy were determined. This article describes some peculiarities of physical therapist's work with patients suffering from cerebral palsy. The peculiarity is that these patients are children and when working with children, unlike adults where motivation comes first, intervention approaches in children are formed on the basis of pleasure. Accordingly, various specialists should be involved at all stages to ensure the normal functioning and development of the child. However, the role of parents in this process remains no less important, as they should be the main link that connects these processes for the well-being of the child. The review analyses research on motor training and home exercise programs. The family-centred approach to physical rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy emphasizes the role of the family as a key factor in achieving goals and improving the child's quality of life. Involving the family in physical therapy helps to integrate therapeutic techniques into the daily life of the child and his or her family. Conclusions. The family-centred approach is characterised by the active participation of the family in the rehabilitation process. This is important because the family plays a crucial role in supporting and motivating the child during treatment. This approach not only provides treatment, but also provides the family with the knowledge, skills and resources to continue to help the child in their daily lives. This approach aims not only to improve the child's functioning, but also to help the child become part of the wider family and social environment. This promotes greater integration and independence. Thus, the family-centred approach to physical rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy demonstrates the importance of family support and integration during treatment, contributing to the comprehensive improvement of both the physical and psychosocial condition of the child.

Unraveling the impact of environmentally sustainable practices of exhibitions and green behavior of visitors：The role of green psychological climate and environmental felt responsibility

To minimize environmental harm and enhance their competitive advantage, a growing number of exhibitions are adopting environmentally sustainable practices. While there is a growing body of research on exhibitions adopting environmentally sustainable practices, visitors’ perceptions of and responses to these practices remain complex and under-explored. This study explores how visitors' perceptions of environmentally sustainable practices at exhibitions contribute to green behavior. The mediating mechanism of green psychological climate and environmental felt-responsibility and the moderation of visitation frequency in this relationship are also discussed. The proposed hypothesis was tested using structural equation modeling of data collected from visitors. The results of the survey (N=531) indicate that an exhibition utilizing environmentally sustainable practices has a positive, direct effect on green behavior of its visitors, as well as indirect effects through their green psychological climate and environmental felt responsibility. Moreover, when experienced visitors perceive environmentally sustainable practices, this has a greater impact on their green psychological climate and environmental felt responsibility. With these insights reinforced by a multi-group analysis, they can guide exhibition organizers in implementing more effective environmentally sustainable practices to evoke environmental felt responsibility in visitors and encourage green behavior.

Characteristics of Health-Preserving Behavior of Parents Raising Children with Disabilities

The study was conducted in April-May 2024 in the Borovsky District of the Kaluga Region. The research method was a questionnaire survey of parents. The questions touched upon the implementation of such important areas of child health-preservation in the family as home nutrition, daily routine, sleep, hygiene, control over the safe use of gadgets for the child's health, the psychological climate in the family, the attitude of parents to their own health, etc. The process of interaction between parents and a medical institution and medical workers as subjects of child health-preservation was also studied. It was found that the majority of parents (85%) fully comply with the doctor's advice and prescriptions. Most parents (68%) know the specifics of the child's disease and treatment. According to 54% of parents, their children willingly follow the doctor's recommended prescriptions. 15% of parents failed to develop the skill of following doctors' recommendations in their children with disabilities. In 30% of parents, the child does not follow the doctor's orders or follows them thanks to the parents. In every third family, the sick child's sleep schedule is not followed. Only a third of parents (31%) have children who attend exercise therapy classes. Parents have a low level of health-preserving competence in the issue of healthy nutrition. The materials of the article can be used in the work of specialists in medical and social institutions, educational and public organizations, and can also be useful for researchers interested in the problem of health preservation of children with disabilities.

MANIFESTATIONS OF CONFLICTS IN WORKING GROUPS

The purpose of the article is to identify the causes and characteristics of conflicts in working groups and to choose effective ways to overcome them. The objectives of the article are to study the causes of conflicts in working groups, to develop and implement an experimental research methodology to identify and overcome the manifestation of intergroup conflicts.

Thomas; 2. ―Study of the Psychological Atmosphere of the Collective‖ methodology by L. Stolyarenko. As a result of the experimental research carried out in different educational institutions of Goris community of Syunik region, we came to the conclusion that people who have high indicators of cooperation and compromise can easily overcome conflicts. Such persons do not show aggressiveness and try to respond to tense situations more calmly. It was found that in those collectives where cooperation and compromise indicators are higher and competition is at a normal level, the psychological climate of that collective is considered favorable. In the course of the research, it was also found that the expression of the psychological atmosphere of different educational groups depends on the person's propensity towards the conflict situation and the degree of aggressiveness of his behavior.

How does the anthropomorphism of service robots impact employees’ role service behavior in the workplace?

The rapid adoption of service robots has altered employees’ role boundaries and tasks. Anthropomorphism plays a key role in understanding human responses to robots. However, empirical research on how anthropomorphism influences employees’ cognitive and behavioral responses is lacking. Based on the transactional model of stress and coping, this study builds a conceptual model to reveal how the anthropomorphism of service robots affects employees’ service behavior. An analysis of 295 valid questionnaire responses shows that the anthropomorphism of service robots affects employees’ service behavior through warmth and smart technology, artificial intelligence, robotics, and algorithms (STARA) awareness. Further, a competitive psychological climate strengthens the impact of the anthropomorphism of service robots on STARA awareness and weakens its effect on warmth.
