Typology of Work-Family Balance Among Middle-Aged and Older Japanese Adults.

This study explores the clusters of work–family balance (WFB) among Japanese middle-aged and older adults and clarifies the characteristics of the derived clusters. Data on working adults (N = 1,351; age range = 40–85 years) were drawn from a pool of participants in the National Institute for Longevity Sciences—Longitudinal Study of Aging. The WFB scale consists of subscales assessing work–family conflict (WFC) and work–family facilitation (WFF). First, a cluster analysis was performed using the WFB scale, and four clusters were extracted. Second, we examined associations between the four clusters and related variables such as demographic characteristics, work, family, and lifestyle factors, social support, and mental health. Our findings showed that the clusters included high-WFC/high-WFF, high-WFC/low-WFF, low-WFC/high-WFF, and low-WFC/low-WFF. Differences were found in related variables among the clusters. Specifically, those in the Low-WFC/High-WFF cluster had a good lifestyle, received the highest levels of social support, and had the fewest mental health issues. Our findings have implications for maintaining sufficient WFB and promoting positive mental health among workers.

Telework and Mental Health during COVID-19.

COVID-19 has come to change societal organization. Due to lockdowns, work typologies have been rethought and telework has gained strength. However, the impact of the constant use of information and communication technologies on the mental health of workers needs to be considered. We aimed to investigate the impact of different work conditions on mental health, to which end we disseminated an online questionnaire during lockdowns to assess imagined surveillance, mobile maintenance expectation, communication overload, feelings of entrapment, depression, anxiety, stress, and flourishing in four groups (employed in telework, employed on-site, employed in layoff, and unemployed). We computed mean comparisons and serial mediations. We show that depression and anxiety were more prevalent in women; parents flourished more than people without children; and people with a higher level of education feel more entrapment. Crucially, we show that telework was associated with imagined surveillance and communication overload, which mediated the association with mobile maintenance expectations and entrapment (which was exacerbated by parenthood), impacting mental health and the quality of life. However, this was also partially observed in the remaining work conditions. Finally, flourishing worked as a protector against mental health issues in all work conditions. We discuss this given the massification of digital migration.

Behind, through and beyond capitalist platforms

This article aims to put forward an overarching typology of platform-related work. First, it places the platformisation of productive processes within a characterisation of informational capitalism. Then it proceeds by distinguishing between work behind and through capitalist platforms. The former refers to the informational, industrial and service work and workers who keep the platforms up and running. The greater part of the article is devoted to discussing the latter. This second category is further divided into three sub-categories of work and workers: ‘gig labour’, ‘prosumers’ and ‘self-employed owners’. Finally, platform work and labour beyond capitalist platforms are addressed, with a further sub-typology. Here, three types of beyond-capitalist platforms are identified: co-ops, commons-based peer production and state-owned agencies.

Absolute autonomy, respectful recognition and derived dignity: Towards a typology of meaningful work

AbstractTheoretical and empirical contributions to meaningful work (MW) have flourished in the last two decades; investigating how the interplay of organizational factors with employee attitudes and experiences enables or denies MW. This paper reviews MW literature in the fields of management and organizational behaviour, political philosophy, the humanities and sociology with the aim of identifying and comparing conceptualizations of MW and how they relate to low‐skilled work. The review illustrates that a wide range of MW concepts either interpret low‐skilled work as bereft of essential sources for MW, or focus exclusively on workers’ innate drive to make meaningful experiences and thereby neglect the politics of working life. Making the point that low‐skilled work can also be meaningful, the paper develops a framework for low‐skilled work that has at its heart the interplay between the unique characteristics and dynamics of the labour process and workers’ agential responses. The framework rests on a combination of labour process analysis and industrial relations approaches, along with sociological concepts of agency. It develops three interdependent conceptual dimensions of core autonomy, respectful recognition and derived dignity that aim to capture MW in low‐skilled work settings. The framework contributes to vibrant debates in the MW literature by showcasing how meaningfulness emerges through bottom‐up collective and individual practices, relations and strategies that are reflective of the formal structures, demands and relations of low‐skilled work.

САМОСТІЙНА РОБОТА У ПРОЦЕСІ ПІДГОТОВКИ МАЙБУТНІХ ФІЛОЛОГІВ В УМОВАХ ДИСТАНЦІЙНОГО НАВЧАННЯ

Purpose. To consider the concept of independent work of students in terms of distance learning and to reveal the specifics of the organization of different typologies of independent work of students of philology by means of information technology training. Methodology. The influence of modern information technologies on the process of independent work of students of philological specialties is analyzed. The types of future specialists’ independent work are singled out. Findings. It is established that the independent work of students in learning a foreign language with the use of information technology can be organized as a system. The effectiveness of higher education depends on the extent and nature of the use of information technology, student involvement in independent work in distance learning, the ability to work and collaborate with teachers and classmates in a virtual learning environment, choosing the appropriate tools. Originality. Mastering a foreign language in the process of project work allows students to feel the pleasure of learning, attracts to a new culture with the help of information technology. The advantages of the project methodology are undoubtedly diversity, problems, learning satisfaction, which develops students' skills of independent work. Practical value. Using Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, students have free access to information sources. This factor increases the effectiveness of independent work in higher education, opening new opportunities for self-expression and implementation of professional skills. Conclusions. Innovative learning technologies through independent work determine the end result, activate the learning process, stimulate interest, enable personal development, and as a result – increase language skills, promote mobility, initiative, creativity, independence of students in decision-making and, accordingly, competitiveness in the labor market.

Communication and Transition of Self-Identity of Ex-Prostituted Women to Residents of Rehabilitation Institutions

The arrest and the process of guidance rehabilitation activities for ex-prostitution make them and their identities become different before undergoing the arrest and guidance process. These are that maybe felt by all ex-prostitution in rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to explore the phenomenon of communication in the rehabilitation program as well as the changes of identity and self of ex-prostitution after experiencing an arrest by the law enforcement officers or Civil service police Unit (Satpol PP) and the rehabilitation program in rehab place. This research method was using qualitative approach as an analysis in this research activities, by tracing the changes in self-concept or psychological changing and consciousness which is experienced by an Ex-prostitute womenafter being caught in a “raid” operation and put into a rehabilitation center. The results of this study reveal that ex-prostitutes or other nicknames that they usually called slut before being caught, had a concept and awareness of themselves as someone who has a typology of work as Professional, Semi-Professional and Amateur prostitutes according to their background and their reasons for choosing to be prostitutes. After the arresting and guidance in the rehabilitation center, make the subject reformulate his physical, psychological and social existence as a new identity, including physical appearance, attitude and social orientation. This research gives contribution in the form of recommendations for policy-making and the process of guidance for ex-prostitutes, so it can make easier communication and the effectiveness of guidance because it sees from the aspect of awareness and identity as objects and subjects in the rehabilitation process.

Afrocentric Social Work Practice Guidelines for Assisting African Clans Raising Children with Congenital Abnormalities

The entanglement of African people with a system of westernised social work alien to their world view produces a paradigmatic and epistemic crisis. Consequently, African scholars are called upon to employ evidence-based methods to develop contextually rooted theories and models for African social work. Despite the outcry and numerous texts amplifying the need for decolonised social work typologies, there is still a scarcity of locally developed social work approaches or models. The lived experiences of African clans raising children with congenital abnormalities offer a window into the untapped yet rich world of African ways of being and knowing. This article presents Afrocentric social work practice guidelines for assisting African clans raising children with congenital abnormalities. Guided by the “Africana existential philosophy” and the intervention design and development model, the author used data generated from an original study of African clans’ lived experiences to develop a set of Afrocentric social work practice guidelines. The development of these empirically based practice guidelines for Afrocentric social work may encourage more efficient, effective and responsive social work practice with this population. It is also anticipated that the guidelines may further expand on a decolonised social work curriculum and help to formalise the resurgence of indigenous knowledge systems in social work research, practice and training. These guidelines do not exclude other theoretical options but rather complement them and provide an alternative perspective from the Global South.

Mobile Caring-Work: Volunteer homelessness outreach on the streets of Brighton & Hove (UK)

ABSTRACT Smith and Hall’s typology of movement and work offers a useful starting point for considering varied aspects of mobile work. However, this typology does not account for the multiple mobilities that comprise voluntary homelessness outreach projects. Soup kitchens, redistribution networks and grassroots outreach are an under-researched area, yet they are complex spaces of care operating within uneven geographies of homelessness. This article argues that informal care practices and conditions are significant in constituting this type of mobile work, which can be usefully contrasted against formal state-commissioned services. It does so through presenting findings from participatory walking interviews undertaken with volunteers providing informal care and support to people living on the streets of Brighton & Hove (UK). It argues that understanding volunteers’ experiences of the relationship between movement and work requires a relational understanding of care, which can be found in geographies of care, namely the care ecology framework of “caringscapes” and “carescapes”. The intersections of mobilities, work and care shaping volunteer outreach challenge existing frameworks. A refined conceptualisation of mobile caring-work is therefore needed, bringing together carescapes and mobilities literatures to open up interpretative possibilities and further advance our understanding of mobile work on the move.

Journalism ethics with Foucault: Casually employed journalists’ constructions of professional integrity

This article examines how journalists in non-permanent employment respond to their growing precarity. It is based on in-depth interviews with freelance journalists and interns who find that their working lives increasingly require entrepreneurial efforts. To work towards continuous access to journalistic work, these casually employed journalists engage in self-management and self-branding. To be able to make a living, they subsidize their income with work for clients outside of journalism that frequently offer better working conditions than news organizations but pursue narrow, strategic goals. The article develops a typology of non-journalistic work that illustrates that some non-journalistic jobs, but not others, cause these precarious news workers to defend their journalistic professional integrity. Furthermore, the study introduces Michel Foucault’s notions of the ‘entrepreneurial self’ and the ‘ethical self’ to interpret the different registers of professionalism between which journalists move today, identified as counter-, conforming and coping subjectivity. Thereby, the article uses a novel conceptual lens to make sense of resilience and change in journalistic professional identities under conditions of precarity.

Typology of Historical Works of Ibn Ḥabīb Baḡdādī (245 AH)

Typology of historical works of Ibn Ḥabīb Baḡdādī (245 AH) Abstract Over 37 works have been attributed to muḥammad ibn Ḥabīb Baḡdādī, the prolific scholar and historian of the third century AH, from which only 11 are available today. Among the 11 works, eight works are historical and three are literary. This article aims to provide a new typology of Ibn Habib's historical writings and, moreover, to reveal innovations by comparing these works with the writings of his masters, predecessors and contemporaries. After analyzing the contents of the available historical works and comparison with the works of masters and their contemporaries, they can be categorized into two major types: multiplegraphy and Monography (tribegraphy, mothergraphy, and nomengraphy). al-muḥabbar is a multiplegraphy that is a combination of different types of historiography under 175 titles has various content in sīra, biographies of ṣahāba, genealogy, women status, history of the Caliphs, manāqib and maṭālib figures and information on Arab customs; but al-munammaq fī aḳbār-i qurays and ummahāt-u al-nabī is an instance of monography which can also be termed as »tribegraphy« and » Mothergraphy «. Other works of ibn ḥabīb such as asmāᵓu al-muḡtālīn min al-asrāf fī al-ǰāhilīya wa al-islām, asmāᵓu man qutila min alssuᶜarāᵓ and muktalif-u al-qabāᵓil wa muᵓtalifuhā which are among Ibn ḥabīb's innovations and are of the monograph type, can be categorized as nomengraphy

Dilemma Work: Problem-Solving Multiple Work Roles Into One Work Life

Scholars have observed workers combining multiple work roles to earn a living to cope with the vicissitudes of the labor market. In studies of creative labor markets, this trend of workers broadening of their skills is termed “occupational generalism”. Previous scholarship has focused on the structural factors that push and pull workers into generalizing and combining multiple work roles. But we lack an understanding of the subjective experience of work as a generalist. I introduce the concept of dilemma work: a form of problem-solving wherein workers who have generalized their work portfolios, attempt to rationalize their professional practices to overcome conflicts that arise from occupying multiple work roles. Drawing on in-depth interviews with professional writers who also freelance as book reviewers, I find that these generalists use three dilemma work strategies: anchoring another role to guide action in the current one; incorporating multiple roles under a higher role or purpose; and compartmentalizing roles in order to act exclusively within a single identity. I propose the general value of a typology of dilemma work for understanding workers’ experience both within artistic labor markets, and beyond.

"You need money to get high, and that's the easiest and fastest way:" A typology of sex work and health behaviours among people who inject drugs.

In the United States, the criminalization and stigmatization of drug use and sex work contribute to infectious disease transmission and healthcare disengagement. People who inject drugs (PWID) and engage in sex work experience exacerbated HIV risk. In the context of the ongoing HIV and overdose epidemics little research describes why PWID engage in sex work and its relative HIV risk. To inform intervention needs, we aimed to create a typology of sex work among PWID with a focus on HIV risk and healthcare utilization behaviours. We drew from in-depth interviews conducted across Massachusetts and Rhode Island from 2016-2019. Participants were ≥18 years old and self-reported past-month injection drug use and HIV-negative status. Using data from individuals reporting sex work experience (n=33/78), we utilized the framework method to develop a typology of perspectives on sex work engagement and attributes pertaining to HIV risk and healthcare utilization behaviours. We uncovered varying perspectives on sex work and associated HIV risks and prevention needs. A typology included three groups who viewed their sex work engagement as a (1) consistent job, (2) income supplement, or (3) survival method to abate withdrawal symptoms. The first group described more consistent sexual and injection behaviours to mitigate HIV risk than the second group. The third group appeared particularly vulnerable to HIV, describing inconsistent condom use and frequent sharing of injection equipment, low healthcare utilization, and limited disclosure of sex work and injection drug use to healthcare providers. Findings highlight distinct perspectives on sex work among PWID involved in it and corresponding perceptions of HIV risk and healthcare utilization behaviours. Understanding the nuances in sex work engagement among PWID can inform interventions to prevent infectious disease transmission, including efforts to further connect this marginalized population to harm reduction, health, and low barrier opioid treatment services.

Autobiographical senses in piano miniatures by M. Glinka

The purpose of the article is to consider the song-romance area of ​​pianism, according to the proposed classification of piano works by M. Glinka, through the prism of autobiographical character, as the semantic dominant of the composer's piano style. The methodology consists in the application of the method of cultural commentary developed in the works of S. Tishko, also in co-authorship with S. Mamaev and G. Kukol. The specified methodological approach is used as an analytical commentary on a musical text and is implemented using a combination of biographical information and meanings of the work in the context of evolutionary processes and constant features of the composer's style. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the consideration of the piano field of composer's creativity as a single text, directly and indirectly connected by numerous intersections both with the events of Glinka's creative biography and with romantic cultural meanings; in the formation of an idea of ​​the typology of the composer's piano works and the creation of an appropriate classification; in the study of the song-romance sphere of Glinka's piano style through the prism of autobiographical character and thus revealing a whole spectrum of romantic senses of his pianism that were not previously found in musicology. Conclusions. The comprehension of Glinka's piano heritage as a whole allows us to single out the sphere of song-romance lyrics of the composer's piano instrumentalism. An analytical commentary on a musical text, which is realized with the help of a combination of biographical information and the semantic-figurativeness of works in the context of evolutionary processes and constant features of the composer's style, makes it possible to reveal the ways of forming a hidden programmatic and its artistic meaning, as well as to reveal the composer's attraction to the use of words as a factor of meaning formation, to note the importance of autobiographical themes and romantic imagery.

Interests Scale Based Online Application to Determining Major in University

Students who graduate from high school when entering college will definitely choose a course that suits their interests and expertise, but this sometimes makes many students confused. The choice of certain majors is often based on encouragement from parents, friends and the environment. Factors related to internal students regarding personality profiles and typologies of work are rarely a consideration for students in choosing majors in college. This is because identifying interests that are in accordance with personal circumstances requires psychological measuring devices or often referred to as psychological testing. The aims of this study to identify self interest student for majoring in programs study. The tool to identification is using online-based applications. Psychology that used paper and pencil is now using a computer application, so the results of this scale can be made recommendations for students who want to major in college. This compiled application is processed automatically so that it can give results quickly and accurately. The subjects in this study were 127 students who answered their questions in this application and assessed the appropriateness of this application in terms of convenience, the language used, whether there were terms understood and whether the results were as expected by students. 70,1% of students answered that this application was easy to understand and run. 96% of students answered this application using good language and 34% of students thought that there were some terms that were not understood and also 63% of students answered that the results of this application were in accordance with their personal circumstances. The implication of this research is the psychological testing can be used by computerize administration; instruction will be easier for the tester and the result from the testing faster. Hopefully this application can be used for the student in majoring a program study.

Becoming an expert: highly-experienced allied health professionals' relationships with their work

PurposeHighly-experienced allied health professionals have the opportunity to perform at the expert-level by sharing knowledge and skills with more junior staff, with the aim of upskilling the workforce. The study explored the current motivators, aspirations and the role of work in the life of highly-experienced practitioners, revealing factors that hinder or support them to further develop their own expertise and be inspiring role-models and mentors for less experienced staff.Design/methodology/approachTaking a grounded theoretical research design, we report on interviews with 45 allied health practitioners with at least seven years of professional experience from different professions and across organisational sectors. Transcripts were coded iteratively in conjunction with reviewing the literature, and cases were categorised to form a conceptual typology of work orientation.FindingsFour work orientations are characterised capturing the diversity of the allied health workforce, particularly in relation to two dimensions of personal fulfilment and future ambition. The relationship between the types and expert-level performance is discussed, leading to recommendations for support that can be implemented to develop and sustain expert-level performance within a community.Originality/valueA new view of work orientation is introduced that relates expert-level performance with meaningful work. The findings highlight a diversity of work orientation for highly-experienced allied health professionals, that all require managerial awareness. Once recognised, the four types would benefit from different supports that could develop and maintain expert-level performance in those that seek it. Alternatives are also available for those that do not. Implications for workforce policy are discussed.

Rhetorical work and medical authority: Constructing convincing cases in insurance medicine.

This article explores general practitioners' (GPs) persuasive efforts in cases where biomedical evidence is absent but expected. Health insurance in Western countries is based on the biomedical ideal that legitimate complaints should have objective causes detectable by medical examination. For GPs responsible for assessing sickness and incapacity for work, the demand for objective evidence can be problematic: what if they as experts deem that a patient is in fact sick and eligible for benefits, but are unable to provide objective evidence to that fact? How can they convince bureaucrats in the insurance system to accept their judgment? Taking 'medically unexplained symptoms' as my case, I draw on focus group and follow-up interviews with GPs in Norway to explore how GPs attempt to persuade bureaucrats to accept their professional judgment. Proposing the concept of 'rhetorical work', I reconstruct a typology of such work that doctors engage in to influence bureaucratic decision-making and provide long-term health benefits for patients. I then discuss the potential societal implications of GPs' rhetorical practices and the applications of the concept of rhetorical work in future research.

Making Sense of Social Work’s Troubled Past: Professional Identity, Collective Memory and the Quest for Historical Justice

AbstractSocial work historiography has neglected to engage meaningfully with the most troubling aspects of the profession’s past: the histories of complicity, or at least acquiescence, in acts of state violence and institutionalised oppression. Through the exploration of historical case studies, this article provides a tentative typology of social work’s ‘horrible histories’ focusing on the project of engineering the ideal-type family, in colonial and oppressive socio-political contexts. The authors argue that practices of oppression and complicity can neither be reduced to the ‘few bad apples’ approach nor judged through the individualising prism of moralism, prevalent in Kantian Ethics. Instead, they propose an ethics of transformative reconciliation which is based on the principles of apology, respect for victims and collective action for—professional and social—change.

The political economy of adult learning systems\u2014some institutional features that promote adult learning participation

Recent years have witnessed an increasing scholarly interest in the study of education, training, and skill formation from a comparative political economy perspective. The purpose of this article is to contribute to the emerging field of the political economy of adult learning systems, which seeks to understand the causes and consequences of cross-national diversity in adult learning systems. The article introduces this interdisciplinary research strand by reviewing recent work and different typologies that have emerged out of the field of comparative economics and comparative politics, which are relevant to the study of adult learning systems. The empirical evidence on cross-national patterns of organized adult learning drawn on PIAAC data suggests that existing typologies are insufficient to explain the cross-national patterns. The article discusses some specific institutional features that promote adult learning participation and points out conditions and policies that support effective adult learning systems.
