Exploring how brain health strategy training informs the future of work.

The workplace typically affords one of the longest periods for continued brain health growth. Brain health is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the promotion of optimal brain development, cognitive health, and well-being across the life course, which we expanded to also include connectedness to people and purpose. This work was motivated by prior work showing individuals, outside of an aggregate setting, benefitted from training as measured by significant performance gains on a holistic BrainHealth Index and its factors (i.e., clarity, connectedness, emotional balance). The current research was conducted during the changing remote work practices emerging post-pandemic to test whether a capacity-building training would be associated with significant gains on measures of brain health and components of burnout. The study also tested the influence of utilization of training modules and days in office for individuals to inform workplace practices. We investigated whether 193 individuals across a firm's sites would improve on measures of brain health and burnout from micro-delivery of online tactical brain health strategies, combined with two individualized coaching sessions, and practical exercises related to work and personal life, over a six-month period. Brain health was measured using an evidenced-based measure (BrainHealth™ Index) with its components (clarity, connectedness, emotional balance) consistent with the WHO definition. Burnout was measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey. Days in office were determined by access to digital workplace applications from the firm's network. Regression analyses were used to assess relationships between change in BrainHealth factors and change in components of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Results at posttest indicated that 75% of the individuals showed gains on a composite BrainHealth Index and across all three composite factors contributing to brain health. Benefits were directly tied to training utilization such that those who completed the core modules showed the greatest gains. The current results also found an association between gains on both the connectedness and emotional balance brain health factors and reduced on burnout components of occupational exhaustion and depersonalization towards one's workplace. We found that fewer days in the office were associated with greater gains in the clarity factor, but not for connectedness and emotional balance. These results support the value of a proactive, capacity-building training to benefit all employees to complement the more widespread limited offerings that address a smaller segment who need mental illness assistance programs. The future of work may be informed by corporate investment in focused efforts to boost collective brain capital through a human-centered, capacity-building approach. Efforts are underway to uncover the value of better brain health, i.e., Brainomics© - which includes economic, societal, and individual benefits.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound and ongoing impact on supply chains, affecting various aspects such as restrictions on movement, transportation methods, and the challenges of producing goods and services due to the virus's impact on human resources. Addressing these supply chain disruptions is crucial to ensure the smooth operation of global supply chains, supporting societies and commerce. Hence, the current study aims to examine the influence of the pandemic on raw materials in packaging plants in KSA and shed light on its impact on supply chains in those facilities, specifically the availability of spare parts. The study holds significance from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Theoretical importance lies in contributing to existing research by exploring the variables and their interrelationships, highlighting the significance of the selected sample, and paving the way for future related studies. On the practical side, the study's findings are valuable for developing strategies and solutions to prevent similar disruptions in the future. The study concludes that the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted companies to embrace a technology-driven work culture, optimize resource utilization, and expand the adoption of remote work practices. Additionally, the focus is on fostering mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers, ensuring flexible production and supply processes, incorporating local and international specifications into products, accommodating customer preferences, and striving to deliver high-quality and efficient products that meet customer demands.

Exploring Technological Challenges and Growth in Faculty Transition to Remote Teaching during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mixed-Methods Study

The COVID-19 pandemic forced institutions of higher education into an emergency remote teaching practice. In this study, the researchers utilized a convergent triangulation mixed-methods study design to investigate the technological challenges and growth that faculty experienced in seven schools at the University of Mississippi Medical Center as a result of the transition to emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Quantitative data were collected through an anonymous online survey that asked faculty to rate their competency in each of the 14 technology-related tasks twice—once for the pre-pandemic period and once for the current period. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted virtually or in person. One hundred faculty participated in the quantitative survey. A significant difference between faculty self-rated competency levels in the pre-pandemic period and the current period was observed, suggesting technology knowledge growth from the forced transition. Qualitative interviews of 19 faculty revealed five overarching themes: inconsistency in instructional support, pandemic-induced technological growth, power of togetherness, maintaining continuity through flexibility, and resilience against adversity. This study provided faculty with the experience to perform effective self-reflection and gain insights into their pedagogical practices. Future research should focus on professional development that can help faculty remain up-to-date on technology utilization and establish a contingency plan to better prepare for the unknown.

Building the capacity of rural allied health generalists through online postgraduate education: a qualitative evaluation.

Workforce development is a key strategy for building the capacity and capability of a workforce. Accordingly, rural and remote practising allied health professionals require relevant and accessible continuing professional development to enhance their knowledge and skills and improve consumer health outcomes. This study explored the impact of an online postgraduate allied health rural generalist education program, from the perspective of allied health professionals participating in the program and their supervisors and managers. A qualitative, exploratory descriptive study design was employed using semistructured interviews. This study formed the qualitative component of a larger convergent mixed-methods evaluation study aimed at evaluating the reach, quality and impact of an online rural generalist education program for allied health professionals in Australia. Allied health professionals from seven professions enrolled in an online postgraduate rural generalist education program, the rural generalist program (RGP). Their designated work-based supervisors and their managers who were responsible for the operational management of the study sites were invited to participate in the study. All participants were employed in rural and remote health services in 10 sites across four Australian states. Study participants' experience and perceptions of the impact of the RGP on themselves, the healthcare service and the broader community were explored using semistructured interviews. Data were thematically analysed site by site, then across sites using Braun and Clarke's (2012) systematic six-phase approach. Provisional codes were generated and iteratively compared, contrasted and collapsed into secondary, more advanced codes until final themes and subthemes were developed. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 23 allied health professionals enrolled in the RGP and their 27 work-based supervisors and managers across the 10 study sites. Three final themes were identified that describe the impact of the RGP: building capability as rural generalist allied health professionals; recruiting and building a rural workforce; enhancing healthcare services and consumer outcomes. Allied health professionals working in rural and remote locations valued the RGP because it provided accessible postgraduate education that aligned with their professional and clinical needs. Integrated into a supportive, well-structured development pathway, the experience potentiated learning and facilitated safe clinical practice that met the needs of consumers and organisations. The findings demonstrate that effective work-integrated learning strategies can enhance the development of essential capabilities for rural practice and support early-career allied health professionals' transition to rural and remote practice. These experiences can engage allied health professionals in a way that engenders a desire to remain working in rural and remote contexts.

“Technology is killing me!”: the moderating effect of organization home-work interface on the linkage between technostress and stress at work

PurposeThe fear of the pandemic, confinement at home and the need to work created a unique situation. The pandemic catalyzed work-from-anywhere practice by adopting information and communication technologies (ICT) across all industries. While ICT saved organizations, it increased technostress among the workforce. A better understanding of the adverse effects of ICT usage might enable organizations to manage the mental well-being of the workforce. While technostress is gaining increasing interest, scholarly work investigating the dimensions of technostress and its impact on creating stress across various employee demographics and industry types is missing. Contrary to the prevalent assumptions, the authors theorized and tested the adverse moderation effect of the home-work interface on the linkage between technostress dimensions and stress. This paper aims to discuss the aforementioned objective.Design/methodology/approachThe study captures dimensions of technostress and the resulting stress at work using a survey-based analysis of 881 working employees in India, representing multiple industries and functions.FindingsThe study indicates that techno-overload, techno-complexity and techno-invasion significantly impact employees during the pandemic. The authors further found that the home-work-interface is a powerful factor in understanding the complex linkage between dimensions of technostress and its outcomes.Research limitations/implicationsBased on the Conservation of Resources Theory and the Job-Demand-Resources model, this study highlights the adverse impact of this trend on employee well-being. However, the study suffers from a cross-sectional research design. The technostress research has focused primarily on static, at-premise environments and mostly on high ICT usage industries. Due to the pandemic, it has neglected the impact of various technostress dimensions across employee cohorts subjected to rapid technology-enabled working. Further, most studies focus on the voluntary choice of remote work. Employees struggle with the unexpected and involuntary shift to technology-enabled remote work. This study contributes to the literature by examining the consequences of technostress in the context of non-voluntary remote work. Contrary to prevailing assumptions, this study highlights the adverse effect of organizational home-work interface in influencing ICT-created stress.Practical implicationsThe increasing use of ICT enables telecommuting across the workforce while increasing organizational productivity. Due to the pandemic, these trends will likely change the future of work permanently. To minimize employee stress, practitioners need to reconsider the dimensions of technostress. Further, the study cautions against the prevalent interventions used by practitioners. While practitioners facilitate a home-work interface, it could have adverse consequences. Practitioners may consider the adverse consequences of home-work interface while designing organizational policies.Social implicationsThis study during the pandemic is crucial as research forecasts the likelihood of other cataclysmic events, such as future pandemics and political or climate change events, which may sustain technology-driven remote work practices and remain a feature of the future workplace. Hence understanding the implications of the dimensions of technostress would help organizations and policymakers to implement necessary interventions to minimize employee stress.Originality/valueThe present study examines the dimensions of technostress across multiple industries and job functions in an emerging market marked by a high economic growth rate and an Eastern cultural context. This study presents the dark side of excessive ICT adoption and indicates how organizations and HRM practices can help mitigate some of these effects.

Expert consensus on the attributes and competencies required for rural and remote junior physicians to work effectively in isolated indonesian communities.

Indonesian physicians working in rural and remote areas must be equipped not only with generic competencies but also with the attributes and skills necessary to provide health care services without compromising quality. This study sought to reach a consensus on the attributes and competencies that are viewed as essential and important for working effectively as an early career doctor in rural and remote practice in Indonesia. A two-round Delphi study was conducted by reference to 27 consenting physicians working in rural and remote Indonesia. Forty-three items covering 9 attributes and 34 competencies were sent to these physicians to be rated on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 in terms of their importance for effective rural and remote practice. Nine attributes and 29 competencies progressed to Round 2. All nine attributes and 29 competencies were identified as essential or important for junior physicians' ability to be effective in their practice. The essential attributes included professional quality related to prioritising the rural community. The essential competencies included medical skills, professional behaviour, interprofessional skills, health promotion and connection to the rural community. The consensus thus reached on these essential and important attributes and competencies can inform curriculum development for the undergraduate and postgraduate training of junior rural and remote physicians.

Association Among Remote Working and Work-Life Balance with Mediating Effect of Social Support: An Empirical Study Concerning Migrated Employees in Hyderabad, During Covid-19 Pandemic

Objective: To examine the association between remote working and work-life balance with mediating effect of social support on work-life balance among migrated employees in Hyderabad Metro. The study was carried out by surveying the migrated employees who are working super markets, malls, IT industry and construction industry, and are from different states across India, working in Hyderabad city. The data were collected during May 2021 to May 2022. Method: The survey type of research adopted in this empirical study. The data were gathered using a questionnaire with 24 items for 3 constructs remote working with 12 items, social support 6 items, and work-life balance with 6 items. However, 5 items (2 from remote working, 1 from social support, and 2 from work-life balance) were dropped from the study because the outer loadings of the items were <0.5. Results: The reliability and internal consistency of the questionnaire were assed measuring Cronbach’s alpha and Split-half (odd-even) correlations which ranged from 0.80 to 0.92 indicating strong internal consistency and reliability. The data from a total of 301 correct responses were analyzed using structural equation modeling using IBM AMOS 28 version. The data normality was assessed with Shapiro Wilk’s test (p>0.05), The model fit indices demonstrated excellent model fit. There was a statistically insignificant (p>0.05) direct effect between remote working and work-life balance, while social support is fully mediating the work-life balance (p<0.001) of the migrated employees. The moderation analysis indicates statistically significant gender differences with the constructs remote working, work-life balance, and social support exhibiting statistically significant differences among the gender groups. The detailed results are presented in the manuscript. Conclusions: the study provides valuable insights into the impact of remote working on work-life balance and the role of social support as a mediating factor, in particular on migrated employees. The results can be used by companies to enhance their remote work policies and practices, thereby improving work-life balance and overall job satisfaction for their employees. Remote working has become an increasingly popular option for many workers in recent years, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating this trend.

Remote Pedagogical practices in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered many changes, including the need for physical distancing to reduce the spread of the new coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2. As a result, Brazilian educational institutions, both public and private, had to resort to a special regime to continue their classes. Considering this context, this research aims to identify applications and programs, in addition to their relevance, used in remote teaching. The technical processes used were bibliographic, documentary, and ethnographic research. For this purpose, we developed a questionnaire via Google Forms and the data were subjected to descriptive and qualitative analysis. It was possible to conclude that education professionals and students were not prepared to change the way of teaching and learning. Thus, continuing education, including technologies and institutional resources, is of particular relevance for education.

Receptivity towards Remote Service Delivery among Social Work Clients and Practitioners during COVID Times: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Purpose This systematic review aims to identify and synthesize the available evidence on the receptivity toward, perceived advantages and challenges of remote service delivery among social work clients and practitioners during the context of COVID-19. Method Two electronic databases were searched from 2020 to 2022. Identified papers were screened against the established eligibility criteria, yielding 15 papers. Two additional papers were further identified through hand-search. As heterogeneity of studies was high, a narrative synthesis was performed to summarize the overall evidence. Results Our review provides evidence that remote service delivery holds the potential to increase access to services among selected client populations as well as promote a sense of empowerment for clients and opportunities for practice enhancement for practitioners. Discussion & Conclusion The findings from our study highlighted the need for innovative solutions and practical considerations for ongoing remote service, including the careful considerations of social work clients’ and practitioners’ suitability, the need for provision of training and ongoing support to optimize practitioners’ well-being. As the delivery of services transition to face-to-face or remain remote, further research is needed to assess the promise of remote practice in optimizing overall service delivery, while maintaining client-reported satisfaction.

Primary care in Northern Ontario for transgender people in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative secondary analysis.

To examine changes to primary care practice for transgender clients resulting from government mandated public health measures in response to COVID-19 in Northern Ontario. Secondary analysis of qualitative data using interview transcripts from a dataset that included 15 interviews conducted between October 2020 and April 2021. The dataset came from a convergent mixed method study exploring the delivery of primary care services to transgender individuals in Northern Ontario. Qualitative interviews with primary care practitioners including nurse practitioners, nurses, physicians, social workers, psychotherapists, and pharmacists providing care for transgender people in Northern Ontario were included in the secondary analysis. Fifteen primary care practitioner providing care to transgender individuals in Northern Ontario participated in the parent study. Practitioners described their understanding of the effect of the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic changes on their practice and the care experience for their transgender patients. Two themes were identified and described by participants: (1) a change in the delivery of care; and (2) barriers and facilitators to care. Practitioners' primary care experiences in the early waves of COVID suggest the integral use of telehealth in Northern Ontario transgender care. Nurses working in advance practice and nurse practitioners are essential in providing continuity of care for their transgender clients. Identification of initial practice changes for the primary care of trans people will illuminate avenues for further research. The urban, rural, and remote practice settings in Northern Ontario provide an opportunity for increasing access for gender diverse people in these areas and for developing increased understanding of uptake of telemedicine practice. Nurses are integral to primary care for transgender patients in Northern Ontario.

Freelance — Freedom “from” or “for”? Book Review: Shevchuk A.V. Chto my znaem o frilanserakh? Sotsiologiya svobodnoi zanyatosti. [What do we know about Freelancers? Sociology of Free Employment]. Moscow: Izd. dom “Vysshei shkoly ekonomiki” publ., 2022

The new book by Denis Strebkov and Andrey Shevchuk “What do we know about freelancers? The Sociology of Free Employment” (2022) is a summation of a unique, large-scale, more than a decade-long research project dedicated to understanding the phenomenon of online freelancing. The authors are at the forefront of surveying free employment agents in the country. They describe the history of the formation of the Russian-speaking remote work market, its main participants and the laws by which it functions, while also conducting deep analysis of the origin, spread and transformation of remote self-employment practices and the composition of workers in this realm of labor. Freelancers are defined by the authors of the monograph as people who partake in intellectual and creative work, and freelancing itself is characterized as a sort of embodiment of freedom in the labor market. The title of the book suggests a new area of research — sociology of free employment. The review considers the merits of the monograph, while posing the question of whether we can even assert that independent professionals are truly free, or if there are certain caveats to it.

Process Virtualization Goes Mainstream: Diving into its Normalization

ABSTRACT Businesses are increasingly preparing for remote working by equipping managers and their teams with the necessary tools and technology. This research focuses on understanding how technology–enabled remote working practices are implemented and normalized, taking into consideration the context in which they are applied. By utilizing process virtualization theory (PVT) to quantitatively evaluate context-dependent factors and normalization process theory (NPT) to explore the normalization of new technology-driven remote work practices, this study investigates the static and dynamic factors affecting the virtualization of remote work processes, as well as their implementation and normalization. The results from multiple surveys reveal that sensory requirements along with relationship requirements and control requirements are dynamic factors that are driven by the context and enable the technology–enabled virtualization of remote work processes. Furthermore, the relative normalization of this work transformation is sustained through flexible co–construction, legitimation, contextual integration, and effective leadership.

Exploring the nexus between assessment, quality and social justice: reflections on remote assessment practices

ABSTRACT In the shift to Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning (ERT&L) during the Covid-19 pandemic, remote assessment and feedback became a major source of discontent and challenge for students and staff. This paper is a reflection and analysis of assessment practices during ERT&L, and our theorisation of the possibilities for shifts towards sustainable and transformative approaches to assessment in the global south. We argue that the challenges experienced during the pandemic revealed a view of assessment as gatekeeping, and a conception of quality as exceptional. In the context of ERT&L, assessment strategies based on such views may have further marginalised and disadvantaged students faced with technological, economic, and socio-cultural access issues. We highlight that institutional responses and staff concerns regarding standards and the validity and reliability of remote assessments are evident of affirmative rather than transformative approaches to reimagining assessments for social justice.

IMPLEMENTASI WORK FROM HOME DAN DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP KINERJA KARYAWAN

Working from home as a response to the global pandemic has brought significant chances to the world of work. This research aims to examine the implementation of remote work and its impact on employee performance.
 The study demonstrates that employee performance is significantly influenced by the implementation of remote work. One of the benefits found is the flexibility of time provided by working from home, allowing employees to adjust their work schedules to their personal needs. Additionally, there is a positive correlation between employee productivity and a more comfortable work environment with fewer distractions.
 However, the research also indentifies several challenges faced by workers when working from home. Feelingsof social isolation, a lack of team collaboration, and difficulties in communication are some of these challenges. Organizations need to provide adequate technologiical infrastructure and apporopriate training to ensure that employees can easily adapt to working from home when addressing these issuies.
 Therefore, the implementation of remote work has a significant impact on employee performance. Benefits such as flexible working hours and increased pproductivity can be achieved, although there are some challenges that need to be addessed. Hance, it is crucial for companies to continuously monitoor and impprove remote work practices to optimiize employee performance in an ever-changing work environment.

Task-Technology Fit and ICT Use in Remote Work Practice During the COVID-19 Pandemic

This study examines the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in remote work practice during the COVID-19 pandemic by integrating task-technology fit theory and the post-acceptance model of IS continuance into a research framework. In addition, it operationalizes the technological characteristics of TTF (task-technology fit) with the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory. The methodology to test the research model takes support from the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method using a sample of 320 employees. The results show that TAM significantly explains TTF. Furthermore, there is a positive impact of ICT use on individual and organizational performance. User satisfaction has the most significant effect on individual performance, organizational performance, and IS continuance intention. The authors provide some managerial implications for addressing the challenges of remote work related to ICT disruptions for the post-COVID-19 period.

Feasibility of frequent self‐administered mobile cognitive assessments in adults with and without cognitive impairment

AbstractBackgroundTraditional paper and pencil approaches measure cognitive performance at one time point. Early indications of cognitive impairment often appear irregularly, suggesting diagnoses derived from a single session can fail to characterize normal fluctuations and lead to inaccurate conclusions. Mobile applications enable brief cognitive assessments to be completed frequently and remotely. However, the feasibility of older adults adhering to a schedule of repeated self‐administered cognitive assessments is unclear. We tested the repeated use of a mobile assessment among older adults as a potential method for collecting cognitive performance data to detect early signs of cognitive impairment.MethodThe current study included 33 participants (n = 23 cognitively unimpaired, n = 10 cognitively impaired) recruited from the Boston University Alzheimer’s Disease Center. A remote practice session using the Digital Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) mobile application was completed prior to beginning an assessment schedule consisting of three assessments within the first week (segment 1) and one assessment per week during the following three weeks (segment 2). Feasibility was measured via schedule adherence across segments, stratified by age and cognitive status. Cognitive efficiency, a derived measure of speed and accuracy, was compared for the Procedural Reaction Time (PRT) task at the first assessment and longitudinally across segments 1 and 2. Demographics including age, sex, race, education, and mobile device type were also collected (Table 1).ResultAcross all segments, 90.9% of participants adhered to the assessment schedule with a ±1 day grace period applied. Adherence was similar between each segment, and by cognitive status and age group (Table 2). No significant differences in cognitive efficiency were observed on the PRT task between cognitive groups (Figures 1‐2, Table 3).ConclusionOur findings suggest that older adults, including those with cognitive impairment, are capable of completing self‐administered remote smartphone assessments at a high‐frequency. Traditional analytic methods failed to differentiate cognitive groups based on mean cognitive performance; however, between‐group comparisons could mask within‐person fluctuations characteristic of cognitive impairment. Therefore, further study with a longer longitudinal assessment period and larger sample size will be required to determine whether more advanced analyses can distinguish impairment status based on cognitive performance patterns.
