Teleworking in the Public Administration: An Analysis Based on Spanish Civil Servants’ Perspectives During the Pandemic

COVID-19 has inflicted unprecedented damage on the entire concept of work and has prompted a paradigm shift in workplace relations. Many work environments have faced a context in which on-site work has been restricted and telework has been the only viable option. In countries like Spain, the pandemic has forced the Public Administration to opt for this way of working in order to continue operating. Therefore, this study aims to determine the catalysts and blockers for Spanish civil servants wanting to telework. To achieve the study’s objectives, descriptive statistics were obtained using the multiple linear regression technique, with a model building system known as backward stepwise. The identification of these catalysts and blockers will help to facilitate human resource management based on teleworking in the public sector. This study’s findings could help to recommend possible actions to improve the employees’ teleworking experience at the Spanish Administración General del Estado. These actions include investing in equipment, providing training in information and communication technologies, and defining human resources policy to promote the work-life balance.

Professional standard "Digital tutor" as the guidance for the specialist of a new profile

In this article the following notions are characterized: the concept, structural and substantive features of the professional standard "Consultant in the development of digital competence of the population (Digital tutor)," which regulates the activities of representatives of a new breakthrough profession in ensuring digital literacy of the population. It was pointed that the development and implementation of this professional standard meets the requirements of time and the need of the population to use information and communication technologies in the transition to the fifth technological order, for which the competencies of the digital economy are urgently needed. Based on the interpretation of the results of the content analytical study, it was proved that the professional standard is focused on two groups of competencies – IT (Information technology) and pedagogical. They are presented in three clusters: "Labor actions," "Necessary skills" and "Necessary knowledge." The content of these clusters determines the training requirements for future specialists. There is a bias towards the requirements for information technology training to the detriment of pedagogical training, despite the fact that the pedagogical activity aiming to educate the population of various typological groups should dominate. A loss of logical sequence was established when designing the content of the pedagogical unit, the lack of accounting for the initial level of pedagogical awareness at the stage of selecting potential tutors. Thematic gaps were identified in determining the content of pedagogical training between the requirements for specialists of the third and fifth qualification groups.

A Technology Training Program to Alleviate Social Isolation and Loneliness Among Homebound Older Adults: A Community Case Study.

Despite substantial evidence of the negative health consequences of social isolation and loneliness and the outsized impact on older adults, evidence on which interventions are most effective in alleviating social isolation and loneliness is inconclusive. Further complicating the translation of evidence into practice is the lack of studies assessing implementation and scalability considerations for socialization programs delivered by community-based organizations (CBOs). Our primary objective was to describe the implementation barriers, facilitators, and lessons learned from an information and communication technology (ICT) training program aimed at reducing social isolation and loneliness for homebound older adults in a home-delivered meals program. Participants received in-home, one-on-one ICT training lessons delivered by volunteers over a 14-week period with the goal of increasing social technology use. To assess implementation facilitators and barriers, 23 interviews were conducted with program staff (n = 2), volunteers (n = 3), and participants (n = 18). Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Aspects that facilitated implementation included the organization's existing relationship with clientele, an established infrastructure to deliver community-based interventions, alignment of intervention goals with broader organizational aims, and funding to support dedicated program staff. Challenges to implementation included significant program staff time and resources, coordinating data sharing efforts across multiple project partners, participant and volunteer recruitment, and interruptions due to COVID-19. Implications of these facilitators and barriers for scalability of community-based ICT training interventions for older adults are described. Lessons learned include identifying successful participant and volunteer recruitment strategies based on organizational capacity and existing recruitment avenues; using a targeted approach to identify potential participants; incorporating flexibility into intervention design when working with the homebound older adult population; and monitoring the participant-volunteer relationship through volunteer-completed reports to mitigate issues. Findings from this formative evaluation provide insight on strategies CBOs can employ to overcome challenges associated with implementing technology training programs to reduce social isolation and loneliness for older adults, and thus improve overall well-being for homebound older adults. Recommendations can be integrated into program design to facilitate implementation of ICT programs in the community setting.

Factors influencing career success of clinical nurses in northwestern China based on Kaleidoscope Career Model: Structural equation model.

AimTo explore the relationships among self‐efficacy, information literacy, social support and career success of clinical nurses and identify factors influencing clinical nurses' career success in northwestern China.BackgroundUnderstanding the influencing factors of career success is important for the professional development of nurses and the improvement of clinical nursing quality. Many influencing factors of career success have been identified, but there is no large‐scale research on the relationships among self‐efficacy, information literacy, social support and career success of clinical nurses based on Kaleidoscope Career Model. Studies examining the association of the four factors remain limited.MethodsA total of 3011 clinical nurses from 30 hospitals in northwestern China were selected in the cross‐sectional survey, and the response rate was 94.71%. The clinical nurses completed the online self‐report questionnaires including self‐efficacy, information literacy, social support rating scale and career success scale. The data were analysed by SPSS23.0 statistical software using t test, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation and multiple linear regression. Structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyse the influencing factors of career success using Mplus 8.3.ResultsThe career success of clinical nurses in northwestern China was at a medium level. The linear multivariate regression analysis showed that self‐efficacy (β = .513), social support (β = .230), information support (β = .106), information consciousness (β = −.097), information knowledge (β = .067), information ethics (β = −.053), hospital grade (β = .118), marital status (β = −.071) and age (β = −.037) entered regression equation of clinical nurses' career success (all P < .05). SEM results showed that the career success was negatively correlated with demographic characteristics and positively correlated with social support and self‐efficacy.ConclusionDemographic characteristics, self‐efficacy, social support and information literacy are the influencing factors of nurses' career success, which should be considered in the process of promoting nurses' career success.Implications for nursing managementNursing managers need to acknowledge the significance of nurses' career success both for the realization of their own value and for the improvement of clinical nursing quality. They should encourage nurses to enhance self‐efficacy and render more social support through incentive policies and foster nurses' information literacy through information technology training so as to improve their career success.

The relationship among age, gender, computer use, and adult learners’ problem‐solving skills in a digital environment

Problem-solving skills in a digital environment are a prerequisite to a better future for all citizens in the Fourth Industrial Revolution era. To investigate the relationship between age, gender, computer use, and adult learners’ problem-solving skills in a digital environment, this study analyzed the 4,540 Korean participants’ problem-solving skills in a technology-rich environment using the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies data. Importantly, age showed the strong relationship with problem-solving skills of adults in a digital environment. Such results indicate that it is necessary to use different strategies to enhance problem-solving skills in a digital environment for different age groups. Another key finding was that the relationship between gender and problem-solving skills was weak. In addition, the relationship between problem-solving skills in a digital environment and computer use in one's life was stronger than computer use at work. Such results should be reflected in developing strategies and programs for information and communication technologies training.
