Cultivating loyalty: the role of inclusive leadership in fostering organizational commitment through mediating effect of psychological safety and perceived organizational support

Purpose This study explores the effect of inclusive leadership (IL) on organizational commitment (OC) in Pakistan’s telecom sector. Psychological safety (PS) and perceived organizational support (POS) are taken as mediators to explore the interplay of the constructs. The study aims to contribute to the existing literature by providing insights into the critical role of inclusive IL impacting OC through PS and POS as mediators. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a quantitative methodology and a cross-sectional survey of 289 employees of the telecom sector working in the front office dealing with customer services. Using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling, the study tests hypotheses on the critical role of OC in Pakistan’s telecom sector. With the aid of SPSS v27 and AMOS v23 for structural equation model construction and path analysis, a time-lagged data collection method was used to avoid common method bias. Findings According to the research paper’s findings, evidence supports the hypotheses, suggesting that IL has a positive direct and indirect impact on OC via PS and POS. Originality/value This study adds to the existing body of knowledge on IL, PS, POS and OC. This study also tests the mediating role of PS and POS in Pakistan’s telecom sector’s service domain. This research also provides practical implications for leaders and employees concerning PS and POS in the specific context of Pakistan’s society.

State of physiotherapeutic service in Irkutsk region: problems and prospects

Purpose of the study. Introduction. Despite the active introduction of physical and rehabilitation medicine into practical healthcare, the specialty «Physiotherapy» has not lost its importance. Along with this, there are problems that complicate the development of the specialty: the absence and non-compliance with modern requirements of the regulatory framework, the unreasonably small representation of physiotherapy in modern clinical guidelines. Resolving these issues is impossible without analyzing the current situation in the departments of the physiotherapeutic network, which will ensure the proper quality of medical care with a high level of safety and satisfaction of the consumer of this medical service and expand the list of physiotherapy technologies in modern clinical recommendations. The purpose of the study is to study the performance indicators of physiotherapeutic units of medical and preventive organizations in the Irkutsk region to assess the dynamics of their development and future prospects. Material and methods. An analysis of data from state statistical annual reporting on the work of physiotherapeutic departments (PTD) and physiotherapeutic offices (FTK) of the Ministry of Health of the Irkutsk region, on the provision of physiotherapeutic medical care in treatment and preventive organizations of the Irkutsk region in the period from 2017 to 2023 was carried out. Results. The quantitative indicators of the work of FTO (FTC) employees were studied, the qualitative components of their activities were assessed, problems in the implementation of physiotherapeutic treatment were identified and ways to eliminate them were determined. It has been shown that negative trends in the development of physical therapy continue: the material and technical base is deteriorating, the staff of doctors and nurses is being reduced, the level of qualifications of specialists is decreasing, and the coverage of patients with physical therapy methods is decreasing. Conclusion. Despite the slight improvement in the quantitative parameters of the activities of physical therapy (FTK), the period of stagnation in physical therapy continues. It is necessary to formulate a regulatory framework for the specialty and expand the role of physiotherapy in modern clinical guidelines. This is the basis for motivating employees of the physiotherapy service and the influx of young personnel.

Takeover and non-driving related task performance in conditional automated driving: EEG and behavior Parameters interaction

In this study, a conditional automated driving scenario is simulated using virtual reality (VR) technology to explore whether office works presented through augmented reality (AR) affect task and takeover performance, and the neural mechanism was revealed. Sixty-four participants were recruited and their electroencephalography (EEG) was used to measure the brain activities. The results indicated that non-driving-related tasks (NDRTs) requiring higher internal attention focus resulted in poorer task and takeover performance. The alpha power decline magnitude in the parietotemporal (PT) was positively correlated with the takeover time; and the greater the alpha power decline in the right centroparietal (CP) hemisphere, the worse is the participants’ memory quality for NDRTs. The ventral attention network (VAN) and right parietal cortex, which are active during working memory, are more likely to explain these findings. The results can provide suggestions for the design of AR-ADS and help improve the safety in L3 driving automation systems.

Dynamics of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia according to cytological and morphological data on the example of women’s consultations in Yekaterinburg

Aim. To analyze the dynamics of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia according to cytology and morphology data on the example of women’s consultations in Yekaterinburg.Materials and methods. A descriptive epidemiological study was conducted. The authors analyzed data from reports on the work of the cervical pathology office on the basis of two women’s consultations in Yekaterinburg: the women’s consultation No. 1 of Central City Clinical Hospital No. 6 and the women’s consultation No. 2 of Central City Clinical Hospital No. 6 for the period from the 1st quarter of 2022 to the 2nd quarter of 2023.Results. The number of results on the absence of pathological changes in the cytological examination of the cervix (negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy, NILM) increased quarterly in both the city’s women’s consultations during the analyzed time period. Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) has the highest proportion in the structure of abnormal cytological results. The observation group in the women’s consultation No. 1 is almost 2 times larger than in the women’s consultation No. 2 (р = 0.0048). Statistically significant differences are observed only in the frequency of ASC-US (р = 0.049). The authors did not reveal statistically significant differences in the findings of histological studies of cervical tissue.Conclusion. After Order No. 521p entered into force in Yekaterinburg, a larger number of patients were covered by cytological screening. The number of normal results increased due to healthy women, but the frequency of abnormal cytology results remains at the same level. This may be due to increased accessibility and improved quality of medical care. In patients who have undergone cervical screening, secondary prevention of cervical cancer can be effectively carried out.

Pracownik samorządowy a prowadzenie działalności gospodarczej

The economic system of the Republic of Poland is based on a social market economy, one of the pillars of which is freedom of economic activity. Therefore, everyone is allowed to start, run and terminate a business activity. A special category of employees are local government employees who are expected to be professional, reliable, conscientious and diligent in their work. It is also an obligation to act impartially and take care of the public interest first. Local government employees are obliged to refrain from activities that may expose them to accusations of self-interested and biased behavior and must report their additional activities to their superiors. Performed outside of employment in offices and local government units additional employment or running a business may expose a local government employee to accusations that his/her activities are not guided by the public interest and the legitimate interests of citizens. For this reason, local government employees experience a number of restrictions in conducting various types of activities, also commercial ones, including business activities, outside of work in offices or other local government units.

An experimental setup to investigate relevant validation parameters for the auralization of commercial aircraft flyovers in complex urban contexts

Auralization has a key role in the design of immersive virtual reality tools for the study of human environments and their evolution. In soundscape and multisensory research, the validation of auralization frameworks traditionally relies on the impressions engendered by the virtual acoustic environment on the human subjects, and whether those impressions match real-world experiences. It uses subjective surveys related to the perceptual and affective spheres of individuals. This may lead to unclear validation. In this paper, we present an experimental setup to search for a set of relevant validation parameters for the auralization of complex urban environments involving commercial aircraft flyovers. Our investigation is tailored to the study of working and learning activities in offices or universities neighboring the flight paths. The experimental setup focuses on the quantitative evaluation of cognitive performance instead of the classic perceptual or affective personal survey-based approach. In the experiment, subjects undergo distinct acoustic environments, synthesized from real-world binaural recordings. Simultaneously, subjects perform memory, fluency, or puzzle-like tasks. Different cognitive performance parameters are measured throughout the experiment. The parameters most strongly correlated to the environments' acoustic events and properties are considered meaningful validation parameters.

Experience of integrating lean technologies into the quality management system of a medical organization providing primary medical and sanitary care

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of implementation of lean production methods into the practical activity of primary health care on the example of the State Institution of Health Care «Saratov City Polycli nic № 2». Materials and methods. The study was divided into three stages: data collection through anonymous sociological surveys using phones or tablets, timing and improvement of the process, and a follow-up questioning of participants to assess their satisfaction. 296 residents of Saratov receiving primary health care at the polyclinic took part in the survey. The survey was conducted using a specially developed electronic questionnaire via Google Form. For mathematical processing, the results of the study were initially transferred into an electronic database; the results of the study were analyzed using the descriptive statistics method. Results. According to the survey, the majority of respondents are satisfied with the quality of outpatient medical care. This shows that organization of the medical care is focused on the patients` needs and desire to meet their demands. The organization of the front office and the premises of the polyclinic in accordance with the requirements for the new model of the organization providing primary medical care made it possible to achieve a high evaluation of the information stands and the waiting area. The study showed that ineffective organization of the registry office contributed significantly to the patients` low assessment. In our opinion, in order to solve the problem, it is necessary to optimize the work of the registry office by introducing modern technologies and equal distribution of duties among the employees. Conclusions. In order to improve the quality and accessibility of medical services, it is necessary to make certain changes in the organization of medical care. The level of patient satisfaction with the work of medical institutions may depend on various factors, such as waiting time for a doctor, the timing of medical services provision after the appointment, the availability of necessary diagnostic tests and specialists.

A Comprehensive Analysis of the Physician Assistant/Associate Orthopedics Workforce

Background: For over half a century, physician assistants/associates (PAs) in orthopedics have been a source of specialized medical and surgical labor. Given the increasing demand for orthopedic surgeons and the concurrent growth of PAs, we analyzed the characteristics of PAs in orthopedics to understand how they compare with PAs across all other medical and surgical roles in the United States. Methods: In this national cross-sectional study, we used 2022 PA workforce data from the National Commission on the Certification of Physician Assistants. Our investigation included descriptive and bivariate data assessing PAs in orthopedics versus all other medical fields on various factors related to demographics, education/training, practice characteristics, and other important traits. Results: In this analysis, 12,599 (10.7%) of 117,748 board certified PAs who responded working in a clinical specialty indicated participating in orthopedics in 2022. The proportion of PAs practicing in orthopedics increased by nearly 39% from 2015 to 2022. Slightly more than half of PAs in orthopedics were female (52.9%), and the average age was 38 years. Most (55.3%) PAs in orthopedics work in offices and clinics, and a third (37.0%) are hospital based. PAs in orthopedics earn about 9% more than all other PAs; over half (50.5%) report working more than a 40-hour week. PAs in orthopedics report less burnout than their counterparts and are less likely to leave their principal clinical position. Conclusions: Orthopedics ranks as the third largest specialty for PAs in the United States. Furthermore, the number of PAs selecting to practice in orthopedics has escalated during orthopedic surgeon shortages. The economics and diverse roles emerging among PAs in orthopedics suggest that this specialty may be expanding.

Workplaces of Today and Tomorrow to Attract and Retain Top Talent: Challenges and Opportunities with Remote / Hybrid Practices

The face and nature of the workplace are changing; remote work technologies and the capabilities of artificial intelligence are having a transformative effect on traditional norms of work performance, to which both employees and managers must adapt. The article analyzes the advantages and problems of remote work, its impact on staff turnover and retention, the sources and specifics of industrial stress during remote work, and the problem of environmentalization of workplaces with this format of work organization. The basis of the study was the results of an electronic survey from November 2023 till March 2024 of 40 specialists from the public and private sectors of South Florida (USA) who studied a postgraduate course in personnel management regarding their views, expectations, and preferences for onsite, remote and hybrid workplaces. Respondents gave answers to both closed and open questions to analyze the answers to which content analysis and inductive coding were used. 54% of respondents work in traditional offices, 32% can work remotely, and 14% of respondents have a hybrid work format. Analysis of the answers to the open questions allows us to determine the desired organizational culture format as flexible, remote/hybrid, positive, belonging/inclusive, work-life balance, and employee-oriented. The majority of respondents consider workplace design to be an essential determinant of labor productivity. Technologies for monitoring employees’ working hours for office, remote or hybrid work formats are different, and it is necessary to respect the employee’s right to privacy (20% of respondents consider regular monitoring appropriate, 50% – periodic, and 30% consider monitoring inappropriate). Organizations that organize a comfortable format of remote work for their employees are more likely to be able to attract and retain a talented workforce at a lower cost than those that require the presence of employees in the office (over the next decade, only 10% of respondents are willing to prefer working in the office, then as 90% – hybrid or remote work option). Based on the survey results, a list of criteria a company must fulfil to attract and retain talented employees and the characteristics of the most attractive work environment was formulated.

The article is devoted to the peculiarities and prospects of the source analysis of planning and ac-counting activities and periodic reporting of the Prosecutor's office of the Kabardino-Balkarian Autonomous Region in 1925-1926. For this purpose, the plans of regional and district prosecutor's offices, checklists for collecting information on the current activities of regional prosecutor's of-fices, notebooks for recording the participation of public prosecutors in court sessions, statements on the movement of inquiries, investigative cases, cases of press revelations, monthly statements, survey reports, characteristics, literary (text) and "digital" (quantitative) reports (with elements of statistical generalization), summary reports on personnel and current activities, semi-annual re-ports on the work of the Prosecutor's office of the KBAO and district prosecutor's offices, crime reports, etc. It was established that information on the personnel composition, plans and account-ing of daily work, the management of assistants, the organization of the activities of prosecutors, the effectiveness of work with the rural population, the quality of supervisory activities, the state of crime, interaction with court authorities, criminal labor institutions, preventive activities to combat crime were subject to accounting etc. It is assumed that the analysis of the planning, ac-counting and reporting documentation of the Prosecutor's office of the KBAO in the second half of the 20s of the twentieth century has a further research perspective for studying the features of the formation and development of the mechanism of the young Soviet state and its system of law en-forcement agencies, the dynamics of the cadre and the regional specifics of supervisory activities for compliance socialist legality in the territory of the KBAO and the fight against crime, etc.

Expansion of measurement capabilities of the bolometric sensor of the terahertz wave power based on an inexpensive and stable measuring system

The paper discusses the results of a joint work of the Central Office of Measures in the Republic of Poland and the Military University of Technology in Warsaw within the framework of the project “Measurement Consistency in Electromagnetic Power Measurements in the Sub-THz Band”. The main problems in the study of electromagnetic radiation power in the terahertz range using a bolometric detector are considered. The design and parameters of the measuring system based on the use of a resistive bolometric detector, own signal amplifier, and measuring converter, which were designed and implemented at the Central Office of Measures in the Republic of Poland, are described. The results of metrological traceability to the SI units are presented. This paper is dedicated to expanding measurement capabilities of the bolometric detector based on a highly stable and inexpensive measuring system in the terahertz range. As a result of the joint work, a measuring system characterized by high parameter stability and a gain of more than 20 000 V/V was developed and tested.

Explaining immigration casework in federal Members of Parliament's district offices in Canada.

In Canada, a majority of federal constituency offices deal primarily with immigration files. The few qualitative studies on the subject show that the resources dedicated to these files and the type of work carried out on the immigration files handled vary between offices, thus contributing to disparities in service between federal electoral districts. How can such variation be explained? Based on the quantitative analysis of unpublished administrative data, this article first highlights the diversity of files handled by constituency offices, as well as the types of intervention carried out by constituency assistants. It then aims to explain the variations in case processing according to the type of case and the volume of requests handled. Studies of constituents' files received and processed at constituency office level have argued that the political ideology, gender and ethnicity of the deputy as well as the demographics of the constituency are explanatory factors. This analysis shows that in the case of immigration files, constituency demography is the most important factor, while the MP's political affiliation plays a very limited role. These results shed new light on the factors involved in the processing of immigration cases at constituency level, and add nuance to previous, mainly qualitative analyses. Our results also contribute to understanding the work of constituency offices for constituents, which appears to be far less partisan than in other countries where similar offices exist.

Family without kinship – the pluralism of European regulatory research integrity systems and its implications

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the differences and similarities between European regulatory research integrity systems. The data collection process involved gathering information from public sources. A total of 27 European countries were included in the comprehensive dataset. Three determinants were examined: the legal structure of national research integrity regulation, the presence of national research integrity guidelines, and the provision of research integrity training by national research integrity offices. Qualitative content analysis was employed to identify relevant differences in national research integrity systems and the work of national research integrity offices. The findings suggest that the functions and powers of research integrity offices in Europe vary significantly, and there is extensive variation in the legal status and functions of national research integrity systems. We identify the major implications arising from these differences and explore what the challenges for harmonization of the European research integrity systems are. Our findings highlight the need for promoting dialogue between actors on an international level.

Editors of Regional Newspapers on the Prospects of Local Media: Research Results

In the article, the authors continue to present the results of a study of the current state and possibilities for improving the editorial strategies of municipal newspapers. The crisis of (self) identification of local media is observed in many countries, but in Russia there is a possibility of closing a large number of local media, which, in fact, are not needed by the government and business, and citizens are not ready to participate in financing their activities. However, there is also a positive experience of some successful regional newspapers, which is possible for dissemination. The article presents the results of the analysis of interviews with the leaders of such media. Emphasis is placed on the role of local media in public processes in which other actors also participate. The authors draw attention to the uniqueness of the work of local editorial offices, which is associated with a long-term focus on solving the problems of citizens and communities and the desire to work together with readers, government officials and business to solve urgent problems. The authors of the article propose to open a discussion about the criteria for the effectiveness of local media and offer their own version of kpi: not newspaper circulation and social media coverage, but real changes that have occurred on the initiative and (or) with the participation of local media journalists.

Impact of workplace design on perceived work performance and well-being: Home versus office

In recent years, millions of people worldwide transitioned from working in offices to at home, sparking a rise in questions about productivity, health behaviors, and well-being while working at home. Moving forward, working both at home and at the office remains a part of many organizations. This study evaluates home and office workplaces using a comparative approach and a data-driven framework. The computational models in this study aim to predict the impact of 10 workplace spatial attributes on perceptions of comfort, work performance, and aspects of well-being, such as sense of connectedness and physical activity. A total of 614 worker survey responses from the United States and Canada were analyzed. Results indicate that perceived work performance was significantly higher at the office, while comfort and well-being were significantly higher at home. Analyses using logistic regression models reveal that temperature, noise, workstation furniture, and aesthetics were the most significant predictors of perceived work performance. Access to amenities and access to the outdoors were both significant predictors of sense of connectedness and physical activity. This study captures perceptions from an unprecedented moment in time and strives to quantify the impact of workplace spatial attributes on perceived work performance and well-being when working in more than one location. Insights from the analysis could inform the design of future work environments that optimize the benefits of home and office.

Non-political propaganda directions of the Stalingrad (Volgograd) regional branch of the All-Union Society "Znanie" (1948-1980)

The object of the study is the non-political propaganda of the Volgograd (Stalingrad) branch of the All-Union Society "Znanie" (Knowledge) during the Soviet period of the organization's existence (1948 - to the end of the 1980s). The subject of the study was such areas of work of the regional branch of the society "Knowledge" as propaganda in the field of education, pedagogy, disease control, healthy lifestyle. The source base for this study was archival documents of the Center for Documentation of the Modern History of the Volgograd region (CDNIVO), namely, minutes of meetings of the organizing committee of the regional branch, annual reports on the main activities of the regional branch, minutes of the work of various sections within the department, minutes of the meeting of the Presidium of the Board of the regional branch, minutes of meetings of the Plenum of the Board of the regional branch, lecture plans, etc. These documents are of particular value, since today they are the only sources that cover the work of the Volgograd branch of the All-Union Society "Znanie". The principles of historicism, subjectivism, and system analysis of regional archival sources of the Center for Documentation of the Modern History of the Volgograd Region were applied in the methodology of the work. The novelty lies in the fact that for the first time an analysis of the work of the regional office is being carried out, especially since the narrower and non-core areas of work of the Znanie society are affected. The results of the study allow us to conclude that the Volgograd regional branch of the Znanie Society has implemented quite important tasks in matters of education, disease prevention, organization of cultural leisure for city residents, for this the society used various methods of work: parent lectures, radio lectures, national universities, meeting evenings, printing articles in periodicals, etc. Attention to the sections of pedagogy and psychology, medical knowledge, literature and art increased. The audience coverage of the above sections also grew, thousands of residents of the city passively or actively participated in the life of these sections.

AN ASSESSMENT OF PARADIGM SHIFT IN PEOPLE’S PRIORITIES TOWARD INTERIOR DESIGNING OF SPACE DURING THE PANDEMIC OUTBREAK

This investigation surfaces a thought of change in peoples’ priorities toward Interior design of space during the Pandemic outbreak. It re-examines the issues that influenced the change in the overall arrangement of a physical space. Five constructs were identified to validate the paradigm shift in peoples’ approach to dealing with spatial areas specifically in housing during the pandemic outbreak. The research study has shown a strong paradigm shift in the resident’s approach to the interior design of housing. The research study also discusses about the issues faced while stay at home during COVID-19, spatial layout during the pandemic, the utility of space during the pandemic, and targeting to achieve the required resilience through design implications. There were 404 participants considered in the structured questionnaire survey where the snowball sample technique to distribute among the policymakers, planners, architects, interior designers, and general citizens, from various residential areas in the Chandigarh Capital Region (CCR) i.e., Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula who responded on varied issues faced during COVID-19.The outlook of people’s approach and interior design community to post-COVID has offered a new opportunity to re-look at the spatial arrangement of interior space. The residential dwelling units that were earlier considered for relaxation, safety, and storage are now considered for online classes, office work, play areas, recreation, and exercise areas. The post-COVID-19 era has changed the outlook of habitable space by providing a new thought process to visualize a spatial layout uniquely, which may further full-fill multiple interests at the same time.The research study not only focuses on residential dwelling units but also on the way people used their spaces and issues faced. Lack of proper spaces for classes, meetings, office works and other interested have changed the outlook people have perceive their spaces. And spaces during Covid-19 era have offered a fresh opportunity to rethink the design of any habitable space. Spaces with better adaptability, natural light, ventilation, and open spaces may have more potential of resilience than the space having poor ventilation, dingy and no open spaces. Clearly, in the research people of underprivileged were more susceptible to Covid infection and their recovery period may be longer as compared to the people living in planned and spaces residential dwelling units.

The project suggests that enhancing self-efficacy, providing effective training and support, addressing spousal adaptation issues, and fostering social networking are critical for improving the effectiveness of expatriates in China's luxury fashion sector.

The invisibility of the cognitive cost of military police work.

To assess the cognitive cost of work for military police officers in the state of Rio de Janeiro. This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, carried out with 446 military police officers, of both sexes, distributed between non-commissioned officers and officers, in the 7th, 15th, 20th, 24th and 41st Military Police Battalions. An instrument was used to depict sociodemographic, work, lifestyle and health conditions and a scale for assessing the human cost of work, which analyses the demands of the job through physical, cognitive and affective costs. The data was organized, processed and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 13.1. The cognitive cost had the highest means, with severe results (μ = 3.86; SD = 0.86), representing greater demands in relation to the human cost of work among military police officers in the state of Rio de Janeiro and significant associations in relation to obesity, cognitive alterations in attention and memory, age and hours of sleep. In assessing the human cost of work, the cognitive cost was the most demanding in the work context of the military police officers surveyed, presenting a serious risk of illness.

공공주택 경비원의 업무실무와 민간경비 환경

Abuse of security guards is not a problem of yesterday or today. Gapjil(abuse of power), or harassment, of security guards has been raised as a constant social problem in our society. 「The Enforcement Decree of the Apartment Housing Management Act」 was revised for the purpose of improving working conditions, including preventing illegal instructions or orders to security guards. However, the treatment of security guards in their work is not improving. In particular, due to the conflict between the security duties under the 「Security Business Act」 and the security duties under the 「Apartment Housing Management Act」, the duties of security guards working in apartment complexes are different, so there is a need to provide clear duties regarding this. Accordingly, this study sought to discuss the specifics of the security duties of apartment security guards. To achieve this research purpose, interviews were conducted with security guards working in apartment complexes, security companies and apartment complex managers, representatives of apartment residents, and police science professors.
 As a result of the study, apartment security guards presented the main tasks of theft and fire, prevention of danger, patrol, crime prevention, CCTV surveillance, and outsider access management. However, in contrast, representatives of apartment residents and managers of apartment complexes were presented with roles that, in addition to the main duties of security guards, include parcel storage, parking management, and even assisting with the general work of the management office. Based on the results of this study, we attempted to discuss the work of apartment security guards, and it is expected that this study will be used as basic practical data for security work as well as academic discussions in private security work.
