Study of Employers’ Satisfaction With Generation Z in Thai Workplaces

The newest generation of workers, Generation Z, differs in many ways from previous cohorts, and so its entry into job markets poses increasing management challenges for organizations. The objective of this qualitative phenomenology research study was to explore employers’ challenges and satisfaction levels with Gen Z in the workplace. Conducted in Thailand, a total of 13 participants participated in in-depth structured interviews. The results showed that while there were challenges working with Gen Z, the majority of employers were satisfied with their performance in the workplace. Gen Z workers were described as being creative, fast, problem-solvers, self-learners, tech savvy, highly confident, flexible, adaptable to change, and bringing new and great ideas. Their challenges included low organizational commitment, reluctance to stay beyond normal working hours, impatience, lack of attention to detail, and lack of some social and basic office skills. This study provides a better understanding of Gen Z’s mindset, and the input gained may help employers to respond more appropriately to changes in their current workforces. It may also be valuable in helping universities to better prepare students for the workplace.

Efficiency of the method of forming special knowledge and skills in the process of physical training of cadets

The article theoretically substantiates, develops and experimentally tests the method of formation of special knowledge and skills of future officers in the process of physical education. It is determined that Military specialization has a different content of combat activity and, thus, different requirements for the training of future specialists, according to the specifics of the activity, the structure of work movements, and the involvement of the body's systems and functions.Analysis of the dynamics of psychophysiological preparation of future officers in the conditions of a pedagogical experiment showed the presence of reliable positive changes in the development of movement frequency, accuracy of reproduction of half and a quarter of muscle effort, accuracy of reproduction of short and long time intervals, accuracy of distance reproduction, speed of reaction to a moving object, speed of perception and processing of visual information, efficiency of psychomotor activity, mental stability, volume, distribution and switching of attention in young cadets. In female cadets, a significant increase is observed in the indicators of the frequency of movements, the accuracy of reproduction of half and a quarter of muscle efforts, the accuracy of reproduction of short and long time intervals, the strength of nervous processes, the speed of perception and processing of visual information, the efficiency of mental activity, mental stability, volume, distribution and switching of attention. In addition, it has been proven that the implementation of the method of formation of special knowledge and skills of future officers in the process of physical education significantly increased the effectiveness of professional training of cadets of military higher educational institutions.

FEATURES OF SOCIAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE RE-SOCIALIZATION OF RUSSIAN RETIRED OFFICERS IN MODERN CONDITIONS

The article examines the features of social technologies for the re-socialization of Russian officers who were discharged into the reserve in modern conditions. The results of the study showed that re-socialization programs have both strengths and weaknesses. The high level of psychological well-being among former officers indicates the effectiveness of psychological support, but social adaptation and professional reintegration require significant improvements. Representatives of government agencies and non-profit organizations generally positively assess the existing system, recognizing the need for improvement. Employers are satisfied with the qualifications and skills of former officers but point to the need to strengthen psychological support.

Survey of Current Simulation Based Training in the US Military Health System.

Simulation-based medical training has been shown to be effective and is widely used in civilian hospitals; however, it is unclear how widely and how effectively simulation is utilized in the U.S. Military Health System (MHS). The current operational state of medical simulation in the MHS is unknown, and there remains a need for a system-wide assessment of whether and how the advances in simulation-based medical training are employed to meet the evolving needs of the present-day warfighter. Understanding the types of skills and methods used within simulation programs across the enterprise is important data for leaders as they plan for the future in terms of curriculum development and the investment of resources. The aim of the present study is to survey MHS simulation programs in order to determine the prevalence of skills taught, the types of learners served, and the most common methodologies employed in this worldwide health care system. A cross-sectional survey of simulation activities was distributed to the medical directors of all 93 simulation programs in the MHS. The survey was developed by the authors based on lists of critical wartime skills published by the medical departments of the US Army, Navy, and Air Force. Respondents were asked to indicate the types of learners trained at their program, which of the 82 unique skills included in the survey are trained at their site, and for each skill the modalities of simulation used, i.e., mannequin, standardized patients, part task trainers, augmented/virtual reality tools, or cadaver/live tissue. Complete survey responses were obtained from 75 of the 93 (80%) MHS medical simulation training programs. Across all skills included in the survey, those most commonly taught belonged predominantly to the categories of medic skills and nursing skills. Across all sites, the most common category of learner was the medic/corpsman (95% of sites), followed by nurses (87%), physicians (83%), non-medical combat lifesavers (59%), and others (28%) that included on-base first responders, law enforcement, fire fighters, and civilians. The skills training offered by programs included most commonly the tasks associated with medics/corpsmen (97%) followed by nursing (81%), advanced provider (77%), and General Medical Officer (GMO) skills (47%). The survey demonstrated that the most common skills taught were all related to point of injury combat casualty care and addressed the most common causes of death on the battlefield. The availability of training in medic skills, nursing skills, and advanced provider skills were similar in small, medium, and large programs. However, medium and small programs were less likely to deliver training for advanced providers and GMOs compared to larger programs. Overall, this study found that simulation-based medical training in the MHS is focused on medic and nursing skills, and that large programs are more likely to offer training for advanced providers and GMOs. Potential gaps in the availability of existing training are identified as over 50% of skills included in the nursing, advanced provider, and GMO skill categories are not covered by at least 80% of sites serving those learners.

«Savage Division» in the battle for Tsu-Babino: military valor included in the military chronicle of the Russian Imperial Army (February 1915)

The article examines the course of the battle between the regiments of the Caucasian Native Cavalry Division and the Austrian units for the Ukrainian villages of Tsu-Babino and Brin. Great importance is attached to the study of specific events that took place on the battlefield and the interaction of regiments of divisions of the Russian Imperial Army. It is important that the history of the formation of the traditions of the military commonwealth of peoples cannot be revealed without considering the process of increasing the combat skills of officers and riders of the regiments of the Caucasian Native Cavalry Division.The author used archival materials from the funds of the Russian State Military Historical Archive and the Central State Archive of the Archive Service of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, as well as studies by foreign authors and domestic scientists, which allow us to examine thoroughly the actual development of the stages of the battle near the villages of Tsu-Babino and Brin. The application of the principle of historicism allows the author to show the course of the battle in increasing dynamics from the issuance of the order of the commander of the 8th Army of the Southwestern Front to break through the Austrian positions and the execution of it by the commanders of divisions, regiments and hundreds to the specific skillful and selfless actions of the officers and horsemen of the «Savage Division».The author has concluded that the increase in combat skills of the officers and riders of the «Savage Division» regiments, their skillful interaction with units of the Russian Imperial Army, best contributed to the formation of the traditions of the military commonwealth of peoples. At the same time, Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich always remained a special favorite at the front; and the «Savage Division» led by him, contrary to the skeptical opinion of many military experts, became a combat-ready part of the regular Russian Imperial Army.

A comparative analysis of sleep quality and time management skills between shift and non-shift police officers.

The sleep quality of police officers working in shifts is negatively affected due to long working hours and sleeping less during the day. In our study, we aimed to examine the differences in sleep quality and time management skills in police officers working with shift and non-shift system. 106 police officers, 46 of whom worked in the shift system, 60 of whom worked in the non-shift system, and whose mean age was 27.6 ± 0.9 [min 20, max 40] were included in the study. Sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index[PSQI] and time management skills with the Time Management Questionnaire[TMQ]. While the TMQ total score was 80.91 ± 12.61 for police officers working in shifts, it was 72.41 ± 12.62 for police officers working non-shift. The PSQI total score was 5 in both groups. There was a difference between the TMQ time planning, TMQ time attitudes sub-dimensions, and TMQ total scores of police officers working in the shift system and those working in the non-shift system[p < 0.05]. While poor sleep quality was observed between both groups, there was no difference in sleep quality[p > 0.05]. There was no difference in sleep quality between police officers working in shifts and non-shifts. However, the time management skills of police officers working in shifts were better than those of police officers working in non-shifts. We believe that training programs to improve sleep health and time management skills in police officers are needed for both the sleep quality and well-being of police officers and public safety.

КОУЧИНГОВИЙ ПІДХІД ДО ФОРМУВАННЯ ЛІДЕРСЬКИХ ЯКОСТЕЙ МАЙБУТНІХ ОФІЦЕРІВ

The purpose of the article is to substantiate a coaching approach that ensures the effectiveness of developing leadership skills of future officers and to provide practical recommendations on the example “peer-to-peer” leadership training in higher military educational institution. The article substantiates that the coaching approach of the leadership skills formation of future officers begins with the establishment and development of relationships between cadets and instructors before providing relevant content that agrees with the stage of leadership development, learning and experience of cadets. The implementation of the coaching approach covers all areas of learning (cognitive, reflective and behavioral) through numerous forms of learning (training, role-playing, simulation games) contributing to carefully organized environment and space conductive to learning. Cadets should see the benefits of the leadership development program contributing to their personal growth. It is established that the purpose of the coaching approach is to create a positive experience for future officers. The result of the coaching approach to training is cognitive growth, development of leadership skills and sustainable behavioral change of future officers. The coaching approach is proven to be based on connection rather than content to build trust and strengthen the social structure between participants. This is done through reflection and building reflective connections that allow sharing and discussing difficult situations. It is summarized that the coaching approach offers a new perspective on leadership development by eliminating the shortcomings of traditional approaches and justifies the emergence of leadership development training programs. The coaching approach puts less emphasis on formal teaching and instead uses discussion, situation solving and emotional storytelling. Future officers develop and apply new knowledge and skills together with instructors and fellow students, developing relationships between them and creating a positive learning environment. The peculiarities of the coaching approach are considered on the example of “peer-to-peer” leadership training. Key words: future officers, cadets, leadership skills, reflection, coaching approach, training, higher military educational institutions.

Systemic Functional Linguistic Approach to Language Policy-Problems in Sri Lanka: From Colonialism to Post-war Reconciliation

There is a vast body of literature on Language Policy (LP) produced during the last six decades in the newly independent countries from colonial subjugation. Language policy as an umbrella term penetrates several other areas. The present study has been confined to the problems of language status planning in Sri Lanka. This research was conducted to scrutinise LP-relevant problems in the light of Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) theory and give a fresh insight into the existing problems based on the SFL approach for Sri Lankan LP ecology. The study is mostly a qualitative study that hardly utilises quantitative data. Apart from the secondary data sources, in-depth interviews were used as an interactive data collection instrument. Almost all the analyses are thematic apart from very few other types of analyses such as content analysis. Among the significant findings of this study, suppression of vernaculars during the colonial language status planning efforts and building up the feeling of superiority and inferiority based on language status planning are identified. This situation has further been established by pitching it to growthism and classism. The present study has also recognised bundles of LP-relevant real-world problems that occurred due to LP adoptions in and around LP practices. At the macro level, the lack of human, financial and material resources, violation of official language policy, the poor language proficiency of public officers, the gap between policies and implementation, lack of official language policy awareness, and legislative and machinery issues were identified. Among the other major problems, polarising linguistic communities, marginalising tiny language communities, lack of language skills of public officers, lack of officers to implement the LP, insufficient training given to the public service, lack of physical resources, resourcing LP implementing bodies poorly, and receiving public service merely in majority’s language in some places are influential findings. Several rank scales and system networks of the LP practices within the new model have been introduced to better reflect the problems systemically with some other exploratory tools. Significantly, the present study has yielded a new model which is called Cyclical Functional Model for LP in Sri Lanka. The researcher has given an entirely new insight into Sri Lankan LP ecology based on SFL. The appliable possibility that was introduced by M. A. K. Halliday to expand the SFL theory as a holistic model was the justification of this theoretical expansion. The researcher has also been able to demonstrate a causal relationship among the factors/entities from socio-political background to immediate factors involved in language policy-making, and from the language policy itself to the current social problems. The current study further concludes that the country started with some critical monolingual language policy discourse, and has moved to a fertile situation where the languages are considered as resources in principle in its orientation, nonetheless still they appear as written policies that are yet to seek practical realisations to stabilise this language ecology of the country.

No threat: Emotion regulation neurofeedback for police special forces recruits

Police officers of the Special Forces are confronted with highly demanding situations in terms of stress, high tension and threats to their lives. Their tasks are specifically high-risk operations, such as arrests of armed suspects and anti-terror interventions. Improving the emotion regulation skills of police officers might be a vital investment, supporting them to stay calm and focused. A promising approach is training emotion regulation by using real-time (rt-) fMRI neurofeedback. Specifically, downregulating activity in key areas of the fronto-limbic emotion regulation network in the presence of threatening stimuli.Thirteen recruits of the Dutch police special forces underwent six weekly rt-fMRI sessions, receiving neurofeedback from individualized regions of their emotion regulation network. Their task was to reduce the image size of threatening images, wherein the image size represented their brain activity. A reduction in image size represented successful downregulation. Participants were free to use their preferred regulation strategy. A control group of fifteen recruits received no neurofeedback. Both groups completed behavioural tests (image rating on evoked valence and arousal, questionnaire) before and after the neurofeedback training. We hypothesized that the neurofeedback group would improve in downregulation and would score better than the control group on the behavioural tests after the neurofeedback training.Neurofeedback training resulted in a significant decrease in image size (t(12) = 2.82, p = .015) and a trend towards decreased activation in the target regions (t(10) = 1.82, p = .099) from the first to the last session. Notably, subjects achieved downregulation below the pre-stimulus baseline in the last two sessions. No relevant differences between groups were found in the behavioural tasks.Through the training of rt-fMRI neurofeedback, participants learned to downregulate the activity in individualized areas of the emotion regulation network, by using their own preferred strategies. The lack of behavioural between-group differences may be explained by floor effects. Tasks that are close to real-life situations may be needed to uncover behavioural correlates of this emotion regulation training.

Management in formative research to strengthen investigative competencies in officers of the Naval War Academy

The aim of this research is to define the structure of a management model based on formative research to optimise the research skills of student officers of the Staff Course of the Naval War Academy of Ecuador. The methodological approach is quantitative, descriptive, with a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The data was collected through a Likert scale survey, its reliability was measured with Cronbach's alpha and its normality with the Shapiro-Wilk test. The behaviour of the data was analysed by frequency tabulation. The MICMAC program was used as a structural analysis tool to identify key variables and their potential impacts within a formative research management model at the Naval War Academy, based on a study of global, regional and local regulations. The research found that formative research workshops are a key strategy whose multiplier effect increases research capacity and productivity. They become spaces for multidisciplinary groups that benefit from shared experiences and help to generate differential skills and capabilities, enabling students to compete in the labour market after fulfilling their academic goals.

It is emphasized that regular practical orienteering exercises allow servicemen to confidently move through unfamiliar terrain and overcome various natural obstacles, receive and analyze relevant information, and quickly make decisions in extreme situations. Such military-applied skills are especially important for servicemen of special operations forces, reconnaissance, airborne assault and other special units, which mainly operate in small groups outside the permanent deployment points of military units. On the basis of the analysis of the problems of the organization of military applied training of personnel, the ways of increasing the effectiveness of the educational process of training the skills of orientation in the terrain in the power structures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are presented.

Rural policing in China: Criminal investigation and policing resources for police officers

This study examines the state of policing resources in rural areas of central China and investigates how police officers conduct criminal investigations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 police officers who had experience in criminal investigations in rural areas. The study found that police officers have developed a well-established model of criminal investigation that is effective in responding to minor crimes such as theft, drink driving, and fighting. However, there may be compliance issues with the criminal investigation skills of police officers. Additionally, rural areas lack policing resources compared to urban areas and do not have access to necessary police information resources. The results of this study suggest that rural policing in areas where resources are scarce should focus on improving the compliance of criminal investigation skills among police officers and increasing the allocation of police resources to rural areas. Policymakers and practitioners can benefit from the insights provided by this study when addressing the challenges faced by rural policing in China and other countries with similar circumstances.

Competence of Public Health Center Health Extension Officers in the Tual City Health Service Work Area

This research aims to determine health promotion competency through the abilities, attitudes, and skills of Community Health Center extension officers in the work area of the Tual City Health Service. This research is qualitative research with a case study approach. There were 13 informants with the criteria as holders of the Promkes Program at the Community Health Center. Data collection techniques use in-depth interviews and activity documentation. The research results show that the officers' abilities regarding health promotion, competence, strategies, methods, and media use are still based on experience because the professionalism of extension officers has not been standardized. Officers' efforts still need to meet national standard health promotion coverage. The attitude of officers needs to be improved because it is hampered by the lack of supporting facilities and infrastructure for counseling and the monotonous creativity of officers due to lack of training. Officers' skills in using media are adequate, although still limited to print media and cross-sector collaboration. Difficulty accessing transportation and lighting equipment (electricity), especially at community health centers located on islands, is the cause of hampered health education.
