Return to work and its predictors among nasopharyngeal carcinoma survivors in the early post-treatment period: A prospective, observational study.

This study aims to investigate return to work (RTW) status and identify its predictors in the early post-treatment period among nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) survivors. A prospective observational study was conducted. A convenience sample of 209 NPC survivors were recruited from a tertiary cancer center in Southern China between July 2021 and March 2022. The research instruments comprised the Readiness for Return to Work Scale, M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory - Head and Neck, Work Motivation Scale, and demographic, disease-related, and work-related questionnaire. Return to work status and current job characteristics were assessed via telephone interview three months after completing treatment. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictive factors. Approximately 31.1% of NPC survivors returned to work in the early post-treatment period. Logistic regression analysis showed that NPC survivors who were male, had one child, had higher family monthly income per capita, were in the stages of prepared for action-self-evaluation/prepared for action-behavior, and had stronger work motivation were more likely to return to work in the early post-treatment period. The RTW is low among NPC survivors in the early post-treatment period. Factors predicting RTW are complex under Chinese culture context. Healthcare professionals should prioritize the early identification of survivors with low RTW intention and provide culturally sensitive interventions to enhance their work motivation and readiness. These efforts are crucial to supporting NPC survivors in achieving successful early RTW.

Causes of Burnout and Its Impact on Job Psychological Motivation among Correctional Officers at Six Prisons in Nyanza Region of Kenya

Burnout refers to feelings of work burden including psychological fatigue which frequently result from a gradual pile of daily stresses. It is a psychological word for the undesirable reaction towards prolonged job connected stress. Many research studies have shown that correctional officers around the world, including Kenya, experience significant levels of burnout. The reported research sought to examine how burnout affects the psychological motivation of correctional officers in their job. A significant amount of research has been conducted by scholars on burnout and psychological work motivation. However, only a few studies have investigated the link between burnout and psychological work motivation among these individuals in Kenya. The study was to examine the causes of burnout, among correctional officers working in six Medium Prisons within Nyanza Region of Kenya. This study employed a descriptive and correlational research design utilizing a survey method. The study incorporated both quantitative and qualitative approaches and was guided by the principles of Rational Emotive Behaviour Theory and Solution Focused Theory. The target population was 1,910 prison officers attached to six Medium prisons in Nyanza region of Kenya. The prison facilities included: Kisumu Medium Prison in County of Kisumu, Nyamira Prison in County of Nyamira, Migori Prison in County of Migori, Siaya Prison in County of Siaya, Kisii Main Prison in County of Kisii and Homa Bay Prison in County of Homa Bay. The researcher categorized correctional officers into various types of ranks, such as gazetted officers, inspectorate officers, non-commissioned officers, and constables. In this study, the research employed the Maslach Burnout Inventory- Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) and the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS) as instruments for measurement. The researcher realized that within the medium prisons, officers who are deployed to work directly with the inmates are male officers whereas the female officers are deployed to work in the offices hence the sample population was totally men. It also came out that there was no big difference in the responses from different facilities and therefore the findings were handled generally. The study found out that the main cause of burnout in this region is chronic work conditions and job position reported by 80.4% and was followed by poor public image at 35.71% whereas 10.71% acknowledged other factors as the cause of burnout. The research suggests that it would be beneficial for prison management to employ trained counselors and establish effective systems for addressing burnout among correctional officers. It is also important to enhance the overall atmosphere within the organization by implementing measures such as acknowledging and rewarding employees, offering opportunities for advancement, and creating a reliable internal ombudsperson role to address any unjust administrative practices in the institution.

Psychological distress, work environment quality, and motivation levels among nurses working in Saudi Arabia.

A favorable clinical environment and nurse motivation are both essential for achieving high-quality patient outcomes and organizational performance in healthcare systems, which can be highly distressing for nurses. The purpose of this study was thus to determine the associations among and influences of psychological distress, work environment quality, and motivation on one another. This was a cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study conducted with a total sample of 204 nurses in two public tertiary hospitals. We used an online survey to collect nurses' responses, which comprised the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-6, Brief Nurses' Practice Environment Scale, and Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale. We ran the necessary statistical analyses in SPSS version 28. We found that nurses' psychological distress, work environment quality, and motivation were moderate. A significant, positive, and moderate relationship existed between psychological distress and work environment quality, while nurses' educational level was statistically different with their motivation level. In the regression, only the nationality, current position, and work environment variables significantly influenced psychological distress. The hospital type also significantly influenced work environment quality. No variable was found to influence nurses' motivation level, though. We concluded that nurses' work environment quality and motivation are interconnected with the psychological stress they experience at work. Monitoring nurses' work environment quality, motivation levels, and psychological distress is thus vital to ensure better patient care.

Evaluation of psychometric characteristics of employee motivation in the workplace

Researchers constantly look for the ideal motivating factors in various countries, industries, and sectors, due to its multilateral dimension, which includes employees, managers, organizational policies and practices, and the way that the very dynamic external environmental factors influence them. Self-Determination Theory of motivation proposed by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, embraces a holistic approach to human motivation which started by identifying several motivational styles and has been implemented in different fields of workplace motivation and management This paper aims to emphasize the importance of examining the psychometric characteristics of the employee motivation scale in the workplace, relying on some bifactor model ancillary indices. The degree of motivation was measured through the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS), based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT). The data were collected from a self-report questionnaire addressed to 658 employees from various businesses and institutions in the Korça region, in Albania. The ancillary indices, derived from the standardized loadings of a confirmatory bifactor model, provide a more comprehensive overview of the psychometric characteristics of the measurement instrument. The study showed that treating the MWMS as unidimensional within a multidimensional construct may cause only a small bias. However, its interpretation seems questionable. On the other hand, the added value of some subscale scores should be considered and can be statistically appropriate for interpretation, helping applied researchers. This study contributes to the field by highlighting the necessity of scrutinizing the psychometric properties of the employee motivation scale and demonstrates the utility of employing bifactor model ancillary indices for a more nuanced understanding. For the first time in Albania, we have a measurement instrument related to the motivation of employees in the workplace, which enjoys good psychometric characteristics.

Toxic Leadership and Followers’ Work Motivation: An Angolan Study

Toxic leadership has detrimental effects on subordinates and has been associated with several negative outcomes in organizations. This research aims to study the effects of toxic leadership dimensions (abusive supervision, authoritarianism, narcissism, self-promotion and unpredictability) on followers’ work motivation by using Self-Determination Theory to approach work motivation. Angola faces significant social development challenges that are dependent upon the quality of leadership. Two hundred and nineteen people, aged 30 and 65 years, participated in this research from Angolan organizations in different industry sectors. The Toxic Leadership Scale and Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale were used. Correlation and regression analyses were performed. The narcissism dimension of toxic leadership and the identified regulation of work motivation had the highest scores. Leaders’ narcissism was positively correlated with external material and introjected motivation; self-promotion with introjected and intrinsic motivation. All dimensions of toxic leadership were positively correlated with amotivation. Finally, abusive supervision negatively predicts introjected regulation, and narcissism predicts positively material regulation of work motivation. These relationships were interpreted as the effect of toxic leadership dimensions on work motivation dimensions. Leadership development programs should focus on preventing toxic leadership in order to positively impact the followers’ autonomous regulation.
