The Association of Job Stress, Quality of Sleep, and the Experience of Near-Miss Errors among Nurses in General Hospitals.

This study investigated the association of job stress, quality of sleep, and near-miss error experiences among nurses working in general hospitals. A convenience sample of 195 nurses with over 3 months of work experience in a general hospital participated in the study. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 27.0. Factors influencing experiences of near-miss errors were examined through univariable and multivariate logistic regression. In total, 58.5% of nurses in a general hospital had experienced near-miss errors. Nurses in the upper job stress tertile (≥118) were 2.24 times more likely to encounter near-miss errors (95% CI: 1.07-4.69) and particularly 2.58 times (95% CI: 1.26-5.26) in falls and medical equipment-related near-miss errors. Nurses working more than 3 h of overtime per week had a 2.72 times higher (95% CI: 1.35-5.48) likelihood of experiencing near-miss errors related to falls and medical equipment and 4.03 times higher (95% CI: 1.92-8.45) likelihood of experiencing near-miss errors associated with examination procedures. To prevent near-miss errors among nurses in general hospitals, effective management of organizational job stress is crucial. Particularly for departments with a high level of overtime work (more than 3 h/week), it is essential to provide and manage educational programs on patient safety.

Assessing the professional quality of life in the context of pediatric care.

This study examines the professional quality of life (ProQOL), including compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF), burnout (BO) and secondary traumatic stress (STS) among registered nurses in the context of pediatric care in Riyadh city in Saudi Arabia. This study utilised a random multistage sampling method and a survey to collect data from 250 participants on personal characteristics, work-related aspects, lifestyle, and professional quality of life. The study participants were all female. Only 2.0% were under 25, with 27.2% aged between 25 and 30 years, 24.0% aged between 31 and 35, and 26.4% over 40 years old. The majority, 74%, were non-Saudis. The participants reported low compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF) levels. The CS, burnout (BO), and secondary traumatic stress (STS) scores were 3.23±0.764, 2.75±0.68, and 2.69±0.54, respectively. The study found a significant difference in ProQOL level based on factors such as age, nationality, previous experience, department, shift length, overtime work, state of overtime (mandatory versus optional), and salary. Working with vulnerable groups poses unique challenges for pediatric nurses. The nationality, salary, and state of overtime were found to be significantly different when compared to CS scores. Additionally, age, department, previous experience, shift length, and overtime work were very different compared to CF scores. However, lifestyle factors did not affect CS and CF scores significantly. To improve their well-being and interest in activities, pediatric nurses should practice self-compassion and utilise available educational resources such as workshops. They should also strive to achieve a work-life balance and adopt healthy habits to reduce CF.

Comparison of the Effect of Yoga and Aerobic Exercise on Nurses' Burnout: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: There is evidence of yoga and aerobic exercises as an effective therapy for nurse burnout; however, these methods have yet to be compared. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of yoga and aerobic exercises on burnout among nurses. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test and post-test design. The study was conducted in two medical and educational hospitals in the south of Iran (February 2019 to April 2019). A total of 81 female nurses were randomized to yoga (n = 27), aerobics (n = 27), and control (n = 27) groups. In this study, 24 sessions of yoga and aerobic practices were run. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was filled out before the intervention, immediately after, and one month later. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS software 16.0. Shapiro test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, chi-square test, Friedman test, and Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis test were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 71 participants remained and continued the study, and 56% were married. The participants’ mean age and mean work history were 35.78 ± 3.94 and 11.65 ± 5.10 years, respectively. The mean of overtime work in the month was 35.67 ± 23.85 hours. There were no significant differences between the three groups before intervention (T0) and one month after intervention (T2), although the mean scores of the aerobic and yoga groups were reduced, compared to the control group. Immediately after intervention (T1), a significant difference was observed in emotional exhaustion (P = 0.007, Df = 2, Kruskal-Wallis x2 = 10.016, size effect = 0.95 - 2.26). The mean score of emotional exhaustion in the yoga group (23.13 ± 4.13) was reduced compared to the aerobic (36.00 ± 5.65) and control (38.44 ± 10.96) groups. Conclusions: Both yoga and aerobics reduced burnout, compared to the control group. Yoga was better than aerobics in the emotional exhaustion dimension. Although further research is needed to compare these two interventions, using each of them can reduce the burnout of nurses. Nursing managers can use yoga as an effective method to reduce job burnout. For future research, it is suggested to use other yoga techniques with longer intervention time and long-term follow-up.

Effects of lifestyle factors on job-related stress and stress responses in police officers in Japan

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between stress responses and lifestyle factors of police officers in Japan. Methods This study used a cross-sectional design. Of indivudals who underwent legally required health screenings in a Prefectural Police, 9633 men and 1086 women completed the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire. Then a multivariate analysis for various lifestyle factors was performed with high stress and six stress responses (low vitality, high irritability, high fatigue, high anxiety, substantial depressive feeling, and high somatic symptoms) as dependent variables. Results Of the potential covariates, short sleep duration consistently related to various stress and stress responses. The odds ratios of short sleep duration were consistently significant for high stress in men and women, for high irritability in men, for high fatigue in women, for high depressive feeling in men and women, and for high somatic symptoms in men and women. As for factors other than sleep duration, age, rank, marital status, overtime work, and rhythm of daily life were significantly associated with high stress and various stress responses. Conclusions The results of this study consistently showed that short sleep duration increases the risk of high stress and stress responses. Overall, more women than men in the police force reported short sleep duration, which may be due to work–family conflicts. Maintaining adequate sleep duration quality would reinforce preventive measures to avoid aggravation of stress status.

Impact of Work Environment on Job Satisfaction among Interventional Radiologists in Japan: A Cross-sectional Study.

This study aims to measure job satisfaction among interventional radiology physicians in Japan and analyze the factors affecting job satisfaction. A web-based survey was conducted among the members of the Japanese Society of Interventional Radiology between October and December 2021. Participants were questioned regarding their job satisfaction, workplace, work status, and demographic information. Principal component analysis was applied to 15 reasons related to job satisfaction, and the factors affecting job satisfaction were analyzed. Valid responses were obtained from 901 (31.9%) of the 2,824 interventional radiology physicians invited to participate. Job satisfaction was reported as "very satisfied" in 79 (8.8%), "moderately satisfied" in 426 (47.3%), "neither satisfied nor dissatisfied" in 230 (25.5%), "moderately dissatisfied" in 133 (14.8%), and "very dissatisfied" in 33 (3.7%) respondents. Thus, there were 505 (56.0%) satisfied physicians. Three principal components were extracted from the reasons for job satisfaction. Job satisfaction tended to be higher among those who reported performing a higher number of interventional radiology procedures and was positively associated with a higher rate of work time dedicated to interventional radiology and the first principal component (the environment of clinical practice, research, and interventional radiology education). The third principal component (salary and work environment) and the absence of an "IkuBoss" [a boss who takes initiative in creating a work environment supportive of the work-life balance of colleagues] were associated with lower job satisfaction. More than half the participants reported high job satisfaction. Job satisfaction of interventional radiology physicians in Japan was positively associated with a favorable clinical, research, and educational environment and negatively associated with the absence of an "IkuBoss," noninterventional radiology work, overtime work, and salary.

Effectiveness of Doctor Clerks Supporting Physicians' Work in Japan: A Systematic Review.

The burgeoning administrative workload on physicians in Japan's healthcare system has necessitated innovative approaches to optimize clinical care. Integrating doctor clerks, tasked with administrative and clerical duties, has emerged as a potential solution to alleviate this burden. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of doctor clerks in improving physicians' working conditions and patient care quality. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using Ichushi Web and Google Scholar from January 2000 to September 2023.Data were extracted on publication year, study setting, department focus, work scope, and outcomes of doctor clerk implementation. The search identified 3570 studies, with 17 meeting the inclusion criteria. Most studies were performed in general hospitals with 76.5% (13/17). The studies regarding university hospitals were 17.6% (3/17). Only one study was performed in a community hospital with 5.9% (1/17). More than half of doctor clerks worked not explicitly allocated to one department and did their work not specific to one department with 52.9% (9/17). Three studies report that doctor clerks collaborate with orthopedic surgeons. Two studies report that doctor clerks collaborate with emergency medicine physicians. Each study reports that doctor clerks collaborate with respiratory or general medicine. The most frequent is document support, with 94.1% (16/17). The second most frequent working content is consultation support, with 47.1% (8/17). The third most frequently working content is ordering support, with 23.5% (4/17). Call response, secretary work, education support, research support, conference support, and other professional support are included, each with 5.9% (1/17). Regarding clinical outcomes, five studies assessed a reduction in physician paperwork time (29.4%). Four studies assessed the frequency of the contents of doctor clerks' work (23.5%). Four studies assessed the positiveperception of physicians (23.5%). Four studies assessed the amount of the reduction in physicians' overtime work (23.5%). Three studies assess the amount of the reduction in hospital costs (17.6%). One study assessed part-time physicians' fatigue reduction (5.9%). Each study assessed the quality of patient care, such as doctor's clerk education for standardization, increase in the number of patients accepted, reduction in medical incidents, decrease in patient waiting time, and primary to tertiary prevention.Introducing doctor clerks in Japan's healthcare system shows promise in enhancing physicians' working conditions and potentially improving patient care. However, conclusive evidence on the impact on patient care quality necessitates further investigation, serving as a foundation for future policy and healthcare system optimization.

Associations of anxiety and fatigue with hazardous occupational conditions of Korean nurses in early pregnancy: A cross-sectional study.

To identify occupational conditions associated with anxiety and fatigue among Korean nurses in early pregnancy. Pregnant nurses, like non-pregnant hospital nurses, are exposed to dangerous and stressful work environments, which can affect fatigue and anxiety. This cross-sectional study enrolled 1490 nurses who participated in the early pregnancy module in the Korea Nurses' Health Study between 2014 and 2020. Hierarchical linear regression analyses were employed to identify the factors associated with anxiety and fatigue among nurses in early pregnancy. One-fifth of participants were working night shifts, and more than two-thirds were working overtime. When using antineoplastic drugs and disinfectants, the rate of use of protective equipment varied depending on the size of the hospital. Working overtime and lifting heavy objects were associated with increased anxiety and fatigue among nurses. Overtime work was associated with both anxiety and fatigue among pregnant nurses. Pregnant hospital nurses were exposed to both night shift and overtime work. Therefore, hospital managers should improve hazardous working environments to protect the health of nurses in early pregnancy and their fetuses.

Constructing co-parenthood: first-time parents’ experiences and meanings of co-parental cooperation at four to six months postpartum

In the reorganisation of the family that inevitably follows childbirth, parents need to develop strategies for co-parental cooperation. Drawing on the theoretical framework of family systems theory and co-parenting, this study explores how Finnish heterosexual first-time parental couples construct co-parental cooperation at four to six months postpartum. Qualitative survey and diary data were analysed using thematic analysis and typification. Seven areas that couples saw as promoting or hindering co-parental cooperation, and three different co-parenting family types (alternating parents, equal sharers and stressed searchers) were identified. Many couples experienced working together in an equal, supportive and mutually satisfying way. Parents’ daily communication and experiences of mutual support were perceived as necessary for well-functioning co-parental cooperation. However, couples’ daily lives were complicated by various challenges (for example, fathers’ overtime work and imbalance in parenting roles). Parents’ egalitarian aspirations should be considered in political decision making, the work culture and the services offered to families.

TIME AND COST ACCELERATION ANALYSIS USING CRASHING METHOD (CASE STUDY: TANJUNG UNCANG JETTY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT BATAM CITY)

Contractors involved in construction projects face the crucial challenge of effectively managing time to ensure the timely completion of the project as stipulated in the contract, if not earlier. Efficient time management not only facilitates adherence to contractual obligations but also transforms incurred costs into profitable outcomes, thereby preventing financial penalties associated with project delays. Consequently, the strategic implementation of acceleration efforts emerges as a pivotal solution to address and mitigate the complexities inherent in construction project timelines. The acceleration process is intricately tied to the identification and prioritization of critical activities within the project schedule. By employing a comprehensive approach that integrates both cost and time analyses, the Crashing method with additional modifications emerges as a valuable tool in this endeavor. The Crashing method involves a strategic acceleration of critical activities, coupled with a meticulous calculation of the additional costs incurred due to the acceleration process. A compelling case study that exemplifies the efficacy of the Crashing method and its supplementary measure of alternative overtime work is evident in the Tanjung Uncang Pier construction project in Batam City. Through the meticulous application of the Crashing method and the incorporation of alternative overtime work, the project's completion timeline was successfully curtailed from the originally delayed schedule of 257 calendar days to a more expedited 244 calendar days.

Working hours of full-time hospital physicians in Japan: a cross-sectional nationwide survey

BackgroundThe culture of excessively long overtime work in Japan has not been recently addressed. New legislation on working hours, including a limitation on maximum overtime work for physicians, will be enforced in 2024. This study was performed to elucidate the working conditions of full-time hospital physicians and discuss various policy implications.MethodsA facility survey and a physician survey regarding physicians’ working conditions were conducted in July 2022. The facility survey was sent to all hospitals in Japan, and the physician survey was sent to all physicians working at half of the hospitals. The physicians were asked to report their working hours from 11 to 17 July 2022. In addition to descriptive statistics, a multivariate logistic regression analysis on the factors that lead to long working hours was conducted.ResultsIn total, 11,466 full-time hospital physicians were included in the analysis. Full-time hospital physicians worked 50.1 h per week. They spent 45.6 h (90.9%) at the main hospital and 4.6 h (9.1%) performing side work. They spent 43.8 h (87.5%) on clinical work and 6.3 h (12.5%) on activities outside clinical work, such as research, teaching, and other activities. Neurosurgeons worked the longest hours, followed by surgeons and emergency medicine physicians. In total, 20.4% of physicians were estimated to exceed the annual overtime limit of 960 h, and 3.9% were estimated to exceed the limit of 1860 h. A total of 13.3% and 2.0% exceeded this level only at their primary hospital, after excluding hours performing side work. Logistic regression analysis showed that male, younger age, working at a university hospital, working in clinical areas of practice with long working hours, and undergoing specialty training were associated with long working hours after controlling for other factors.ConclusionsWith the approaching application of overtime regulations to physicians, a certain reduction in working hours has been observed. However, many physicians still work longer hours than the designated upper limit of overtime. Work reform must be further promoted by streamlining work and task-shifting while securing the functions of university hospitals such as research, education, and supporting healthcare in communities.

Risk and related factors of elbow musculoskeletal diseases: A nationwide cross-sectional survey in China.

Although studies have shown that Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) are common and continue to be a main source of disability and work time loss, there are few reports on elbow WMSDs. The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence and associated factors of elbow WMSDs. The valid questionnaires of 57501 workers from 15 different industries nationwide were collected and the Chi-square test and logistic-regression-analysis were applied to reveal the prevalence and risk factors of elbow. The findings indicated that prevalence of elbow WMSDs among workers was 7.3%. The prevalence of elbow WMSDs in toy manufacturing was 21.3%, which significantly higher than that in other industries (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that aged 40 and above, married, very poor health, left-handed, lifting weights (more than 20 kg each time) , work requiring upper limb or hand force, work in an uncomfortable position, repetitive operations within one minute, using vibrating tools, work involves cold, cool winds or temperature changes, work being completed in the same workshop, work being done outdoors, frequent deal with customers , two shifts, often work overtime, staff shortage, often work for colleagues were the risk factors of elbow WMSDs.The higer education level and monthly income, and enough rest time were the protective factors of elbow WMSDs. The toy manufacturing is a high-risk industry for elbow WMSDs. The publicity and education of ergonomics knowledge should be strengthened, and the workers' ergonomics awareness should be improved to reduce the impact of WMSDs.

Awareness, Safety Practices and Associated Factors Among E-Waste Recycling Workers in Bangladesh.

Awareness of electronic waste (e-waste) improves safety practices among workers, thereby reducing health risks associated with pollutants. Investigating the awareness and safe practices among these workers could help identify areas for improvement, a task not yet undertaken in Bangladesh. Consequently, this study aimed to examine the awareness, safety measures, and associated factors among e-waste workers in the country. In this cross-sectional study, 236 workers from an e-waste recycling facility located near Dhaka were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire from August to September 2022. Eight questions captured information on socio-demographics and work factors, 24 questions on e-waste awareness, and 11 questions on safety practices. Total awareness and safety scores were calculated and categorized as "good" and "poor" based on a cut-off point of 80% of the total score. Bivariate and regression analyses were done to determine associated factors. Only 25% of workers had good e-waste awareness; major knowledge gaps were regarding minimization, health hazards, and environmental impact. Good awareness was significantly associated with female gender, higher education, income, smoking, experience ⩾5 years, and training. About 58% followed good safety practices, but the use of boots and helmets was inadequate. Good safety practices were significantly associated with higher education, income, smoking, experience, training, and overtime work. On multivariable analysis, those with higher education had 12 times (95% CI 4.83-32.81) and 6 times (95% CI 2.94-12.81) higher odds of good awareness and practices, respectively. Trained workers had 3.6 times (95% CI 1.67-7.52) higher odds of good practices. There was a significant correlation between awareness and practices (r = .70, P < .001). The study found poor awareness and inadequate safety practices related to e-waste among the workers. Urgent interventions like training, the use of protective gear, and stringent policies are warranted to increase awareness and safety behaviors.

Nutritional habits of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Review of the bibliography

Human dietary preferences and choices are the end result of the interaction of biological, psychological, cultural, economic and social parameters. Eating disorders are a major issue nowadays and the number of people affected is constantly increasing. Various factors influence nurses' healthy eating patterns in the workplace, such as overtime work, cyclical work hours, job stress, the physical work environment, food options offered by hospital canteens, and social factors. Reduced monthly income has a negative effect on nurses' eating habits. Financially challenged nurses are unable to purchase healthy food, especially after the rampant rise in food prices caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. To meet patients' needs, nurses often cut back on meals, which affects their eating habits. Nurses constantly express the need for a calm and dignified place to eat and rest. Quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic has been blamed for changes in eating habits, weight gain and increased consumption of sweets and snacks. These changes in dietary habits have significant implications for the health impact of the population during the pandemic. Policy makers should ensure that nurses have the necessary time to eat lunch. Nursing departments should implement programs to promote the health of nurses, where their weight will be controlled and special dietary patterns will be given, as well as psychological support to reduce work-related stress.

ВПЛИВ ПСИХОСОЦІАЛЬНИХ ЧИННИКІВ НА РОЗВИТОК СТРЕСУ ПРАЦІВНИКІВ

Purpose. Determining the impact of the presence of psychosocial factors on the development of stress among employees when performing production tasks to develop recommendations for reducing their impact. Methodology. To identify stress resistance, some methods were used to determine «Resistance to stress», and to find out their relationship to work, the «Burnout Syndrome» questionnaire was used. The applied methods were developed by specialists of the Institute of Psychology named after H.S. Kostiuka. Based on the recommendations of the ISO 45003:2021 standard, a special questionnaire has been developed to determine dangerous psychosocial factors that lead to the appearance of stress in a worker, the answers to which were evaluated on a Likert scale with points from 0 to 4. Results. The developed system for assessing psychosocial factors will enable users to systematically observe the state of psychological health of employees, the psychological climate in the organization, respond in a timely manner to expected problems, and develop preventive and corrective actions to normalize the situation. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents (61 %) determined the presence of unrealistic deadlines set by their managers. Another largest group of occupational hazard factors is «aspects of work organization», where almost 39 % of participants complain about overtime work. It was determined that 82.2 % of employees struggle to maintain a work/life balance, and 17.8 % feel imbalanced due to the need to work in their free time and the negative impact of work on the ability to recover. Scientific novelty. The relationship between the development of the stress load and the group of factors called «aspects of work organization» in terms of setting unrealistic deadlines for the performance of a given number of production tasks has been established. Practical significance. As a result of the research, it has been found out that in order to improve the psychosocial climate and reduce the level of psychosocial risks, it is necessary to: balance work in the field of psychosocial support at the enterprise; increase the level of stress resistance of employees; improve their mental health; improve the efficiency of the enterprise. Keywords: psychosocial factor, questionnaire, stress, social factors, work organization.

Mental health of primary health care physicians and nurses following prolonged infection control rules: a national survey in China.

This study examined the prevalence and correlates of probable mental health disorders, including psychological distress, somatization, depression, anxiety, phobic anxiety (PHO), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and insomnia among Chinese primary health care (PHC) physicians and nurses amid the post-pandemic period in 2022. Region-stratified sampling was conducted to recruit a national sample of 4,246 respondents from 31 July 2022 to 12 August 2022. A total of 692 primary healthcare institutions were identified in 30 provincial-level administrative regions of China. An online questionnaire was used for assessing probable mental health disorders using Symptoms Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), and sleeping problems using Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Data on demographics and work were also collected. Bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression were conducted to identify significant correlates of probable mental health disorders. A total of 4,246 valid questionnaires were identified. Results showed that relative to the prevalence of probable mental health disorders among health care workers at the early stage of the pandemic in China, there was an overall decreased prevalence except for somatization, PHO, and OCD among the current PHC physicians and nurses. Multiple logistic regressions showed that significant risk factors of common probable mental health disorders, namely psychological distress, SOM, DEP, ANX, PHO, OCD, PTSD, and insomnia, were female gender, multimorbidity, history of psychiatric disorders, quarantine experience, never asking anyone for help, and overtime work. Attention should be given to preexisting psychiatric and multimorbid conditions, social support, and work-related stressors. Regular assessment and psychological interventions are needed to enhance the mental health of PHC professionals even after public health crisis.

Human Resource Management Optimization Strategies for Diverse Work Environments Based on Artificial Intelligence

Abstract Under the diversified work environment, the relationship between employees and enterprises has ushered in new and significant changes. How to adapt to changes, form a new human resource management model, and improve management performance is an urgent issue. In this paper, we constructed an employee turnover pre-analysis measurement model based on XGBoost artificial intelligence, iterated many times during training, generated a weak classifier in each iteration, trained on the basis of the residuals of the previous classifier, and finally combined all the weak classifiers in a weighted way, reduced the bias to improve the accuracy of the final classifier through continuous iteration, and completed the construction of the model. The historical data of employees in six branches of enterprise W are imported into the model for analysis, and the F1 values are all above 0.85, and the AUCs are all higher than 0.7, with good prediction performance. The top three important employee turnover influencing characteristics and their weights are overtime work 0.647, monthly income 0.618, and interpersonal relationship 0.579. Accordingly, human resource management optimization strategies are designed and applied in Enterprise W to implement human resource management reform. After the reform, the average monthly separation rate has been reduced from 2.23% to 0.19%, and the average number of monthly separations has been reduced to only 7, which is 91.86% lower than during the pre-reform period. This study proposes feasible paths for modern information technology and artificial intelligence-enabled human resource management, and optimization of human resource management in a diverse work environment.

Effect of Workplace Environment on Employees’ Performance in the Accommodation Sector

The hospitality industry, specifically the accommodation sector, recognizes the significance of the workplace environment in shaping employee performance. The decline in performance among housekeeping employees has been a challenge for hotel and accommodation businesses, affecting organizational stability. Therefore, this study assessed the factors that affects employee performance among the selected accommodations in Iligan City and aims to better understand which among the factors significantly explains employee performance. Survey questionnaires were collected from 53 housekeeping department respondents and employee ratings were obtained from supervisors. Using an Ordinary Least Square multiple linear regression to analyze the relationship between employee performance and identified explanatory variables, the results showed that income, hours spent on personal care, hours of sleep, and frequency of overtime per week are among the significant factors that explain housekeepers’ performance. Higher hours of sleep and personal care positively affected their performance, while income and frequent overtime work negatively impacted their performance. The information from this study provides vital information to local accommodation management in guiding them on how to effectively manage their employees, particularly the housekeepers. This study has demonstrated the usefulness of multiple linear regression to explain job performance in the hospitality industry which eventually showed feasible results. It has provided empirical evidence in the hospitality research applied in the local context which has contributed to the existing pool of knowledge.

The Effect of Overtime Work On Family Social Aspects

The Effect of Overtime Work On Family Social Aspects
