PREDICTORS OF WORK-RELATED WELL-BEING IN THE BRAZILIAN PSYCHOLOGY LITERATURE

ABSTRACT Purpose: We aimed to identify the effects of predictors of work-related well-being in the Brazilian Psychology literature. Originality/value: Researchers have focused on employee well-being to optimize working conditions and work performance in organizations. Despite a long research tradition about well-being, the predictors of employee well-being are not clear in the Brazilian literature. Design/methodology/approach: First, in the literature review, we selected five studies using the descriptor “well-being” in the Brazilian portal of Electronic Journals in Psychology (Periódicos Eletrônicos em Psicologia [PePSIC]) and applied inclusion and exclusion criteria. Next, we compiled those studies’ evidence to perform a meta-analysis using the software Jamovi 0.9.5.12 and the plugin MAJOR Meta-analysis 1.0.0 R. Findings: The prediction of employee well-being - performed by means of intra-individual variables, connections with organizations and labor (O&L), and macro variables - was clear about the positive and negative impacts of variables on well-being. However, further research studies are necessary, especially those in the interface with Administration and other areas, in order to optimize the generalization of the effects we found. In summary, this study contributes to the field of study by presenting preliminary evidence to elaborate high impact, evidence-based policies and practices on people management, including a possible interdisciplinary association between Psychology and Administration.

The conceptual framework for physical risk assessment in multi-purpose workplaces

In industry work related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are still a common problem which frequent cause of health problems, sick leave and it can result in decreased productivity, quality of work and increased absenteeism. Though, traditional manufacturing work practices do not enough take into account task variability issues during the work design – assessment process. Variations in task content and organizational work performance are due to effective use of equipments and reaching high level of productivity. But this variation has impact on work demand and risk to WRMSDs and makes some difficulties with assessment of risk. Therefore, this study aims develop a framework for assessment multi-purpose workplaces. The proposed method integrates complementary concepts of widely known techniques used for evaluation of physical risk factors to WRMSDs on workplaces. Additionally the research framework is highlighting major differences in worker’s exposure to WRMSDs risk, potential impact on awkward postures, and how these findings can be used for finding solutions in a future ergonomic intervention.

Using Ergonomic Risk Assessment Methods for Designing Inclusive Work Practices: A Case Study

AbstractIn common with many industries, manufacturing faces the challenge of effective management of a diverse workforce. Humans differ greatly, but traditional manufacturing work practices do not take into account human variability issues during the work design process. Variations in individual and organizational work performance are due to many individual factors, such as age, gender, level of skill, experience, and background bring performance inconsistencies. This research investigates the effects of individual skill on work performance in general and workplace safety and human well‐being in particular. A research framework is proposed for highlighting major differences in work‐performing strategies, their potential impact on work performance, and how these findings can be used for designing more inclusive work practices. A case study has been presented in which ergonomics risk assessment methods have been used to validate the usefulness of this framework.

Mediation of organizational citizenship behavior between high performance work system and organization performance: A theoretical model for cultural aspect of Asia

This study extends previous theoretical framework on mediation role of organizational citizenship behavior between high performance work systems(HPWS) and organization performance. HPWS creates an environment which develops an organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) culture in organizations, which further leads to better organization competitiveness and efficiency. The mediating concept was previously creating a conceptual confusion regarding OCB constructs. The previous researches did not clearly conceptualize the OCB construct with Asian cultural accordance. This conceptual paper is basically an effort to provide a mediation role of OCB between HPWS and organization performance on the basis of more relative construct of OCB which are a more likely match with Asian culture. The theoretical framework also mentions the direct and indirect effect of HPWS on organization performance through mediating power of OCB. Key words: High performance work systems (HPWS), organizational citizenshipbehavior (OCB), competitiveness, efficiency, theoretical framework, Asian.

Spontaneous virtual teams: Improving organizational performance through information and communication technology

This article aims to scrutinize an emerging and prominent type of work team in organizations: the spontaneous virtual team (SVT). Despite the promising benefits an SVT can provide, it is confronted with great challenges throughout its lifecycle. In this article, we first highlight the unique structure and characteristics of SVTs as compared to other conventional types of work teams. Furthermore, we decompose the lifecycle of an SVT into three stages. We then use interview data among SVT managers and participants across several industries to analyze the challenges, corresponding solutions, and the role of information and communication technologies in each of the three stages. Understanding the emerging SVTs will be of salient value to professionals and corporate executives who are interested in finding effective technology-enabled means and work patterns to improve organizational work performance. The current work can also serve as a basis for future academic research on exploring the SVT phenomenon.
