Review Article] Measurement Tools to Evaluate Psychosocial Factors in a Changing Work Environment: A Rapid Literature Review

This literature review examines the measurement instruments and questionnaires used to assess psychosocial factors in work environments. The focus is on their applicability across diverse professional settings. The review begins with identifying keywords and MeSH/EMTREE terms. Searches were then conducted across multiple databases and grey literature sources. The screening process identified 60 relevant articles. From these, 30 were selected to discuss the validity and reliability of various scales. The Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) was found to be the most commonly used instrument, followed by the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model, and the NIOSH General Job Stress Instrument. In Colombia, the evaluation of psychosocial risk factors in organizations is conducted using the _Batería de Instrumentos para la Evaluación de Factores de Riesgo Psicosocial_. This assessment provides a detailed evaluation of both intra-laboral and extra-laboral occupational psychosocial risk factors. Regarding reliability, all instruments identified and reviewed in this article had Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.7 to 0.9, indicating acceptable to excellent internal consistency, reliability, and validity for evaluating psychosocial risk factors in a representative work environment sample. Although each instrument is useful, adapting to evolving workplace dynamics is necessary for more comprehensive evaluations. The article emphasizes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on work arrangements, specifically remote and hybrid work, and highlights the need to evaluate psychosocial risk factors. The review provides insights into the changing landscape of work and the importance of addressing psychosocial factors to promote employee well-being and organizational effectiveness.

Developing a conceptual framework for burnout intervention program in the workplace

This review proposes a comprehensive conceptual framework for developing and implementing burnout intervention programs in the workplace. In recent years, job burnout has become a new and vigorous research hotspot in the field of psychology and human resources management at home and abroad. Job burnout has a serious impact on personal health and performance but also harms the work efficiency, organizational effectiveness, and even social stability of employees. With the escalating concern over employee burnout and its consequent negative impacts on both individual health and organizational productivity, there is a pressing need for effective strategies to mitigate this issue. The framework draws on extensive literature review and theoretical model analysis, integrating key theories such as the Job Strain Model, Effort-Reward Imbalance Model, Conservation of Resources Theory, and the Job Demands-Resources Theory to explore the multifaceted nature of burnout. It identifies critical components of burnout, including symptoms such as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, and contributing factors such as high job demands, inadequate job resources, and personal traits. Intervention strategies such as exercise have been identified as beneficial in addressing burnout. A systematic review of six studies highlights that aerobic exercise effectively lowers burnout and stress levels among employees. The framework also examines mediating factors such as personality traits and external factors, evaluating outcomes such as improved mental and physical health, enhanced job performance, and better workplace environment. Moreover, this review discusses the sustainability of interventions and emphasizes the importance of tailoring approaches to fit specific organizational contexts. The proposed framework provides a structured approach to understanding and addressing workplace burnout, highlighting the necessity for ongoing research and adaptation of intervention programs to meet evolving workplace dynamics.

Voices Unheard, Stories Untold: An In-Depth Phenomenological Exploration of Workplace Bullying Among Indian Primary School Teachers

Workplace bullying adds significantly to toxicity in workplaces. The present phenomenological study aims to unravel the experiences of primary school teachers who have faced bullying at work. Such studies in India are still sparse, and in-depth qualitative examination of the target’s experiences provides deeper insight into their view regarding anomalous behaviours and bullies. Semi-structured interviews of seven teachers were conducted and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The analysis resulted in three themes: “Workplace dynamics,” “I can tell what their problem is,” and “Coping with the problem.” The identified acts were linked to the extant model (Duluth model) describing the power control wheel at work. The researchers interpreted the bullied teachers' lived experiences to construe the affected teachers' behavioural, perceptual, and emotional responses. The findings reaffirm the existence of bullies in a teaching environment. Teachers with longer years of service acted as bullies in all the cases, and two participants just discussed Principal-on-teacher bullying. The study discusses how identified bullying acts can be categorized into themes of the power-control wheel at work. Studies on bullying in cultures with high power distance are limited and provide limited evidence on how the bullying behaviours are comparable to the acts constituting other abusive relationships.

Identifying the Gaps in the Management of Work Integrated Learning Among TVET College National Certificate (Vocational) Students

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is a crucial activity for students enrolled in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs in South Africa and globally. Effective management of this activity is essential to ensure that students are well-prepared for their placement in the workplace. Unfortunately, the current situation in South African TVET colleges often falls short, with students frequently finding themselves in workplaces where they lack the necessary readiness. To address this issue, a mixed-method approach was employed to select 50 Level 4 students from the National Certificate Vocational program and four Work Integrated Learning (WIL) coordinators. The objective was to identify the challenges faced by students during their WIL experience. Data was collected through questionnaires administered to the students and face-to-face interviews conducted with the WIL coordinators. The findings of the study revealed that 68% of the students were not adequately informed about workplace dynamics, which posed a significant challenge. Additionally, 82% of the respondents stated that they were never briefed on the employer's expectations upon their arrival at the workplace. While students found the activities in the workplace interesting, they observed a noticeable gap between what they learned in college and the realities of the industry. These challenges clearly indicate a lack of proper WIL management in the TVET colleges. To address these issues, it is recommended that the college curriculum planner collaborates closely with industries to align the curriculum with industry expectations and requirements. This synergy will enhance students' WIL experience and better prepare them for the workplace.

Peer-aggressive humor and cyberbullying among Chinese and American university students: mediating and moderating roles of frustration and peer norms

ABSTRACT The impact of aggressive humor on workplace dynamics has been extensively examined; however, its implications for university students remain underexplored. Drawing on frustration–aggression theory, this study aims to uncover the consequences of peer-aggressive humor and its relationship with cyberbullying behavior. We employed a 2 (peer aggressive humor: present vs. absent) * 2 (perceived peer norms regarding tolerating aggressive humor: high vs. low) between-subject experimental design and random sampling techniques via Credamo and MTurk to recruit university students from China and the United States as participants. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 21 PROCESS macros to validate the proposed research model. The results revealed that the effects of peer-aggressive humor are contingent upon students’ perceptions of peer norms. When students perceived a high tolerance for aggressive humor among their peers, they became frustrated after experiencing peer aggressive humor, consequently intensifying their inclination to engage in cyberbullying perpetration. Conversely, when students perceived peer norms of low tolerance for aggressive humor, they were less likely to feel frustrated and less inclined to perpetrate cyberbullying. These findings suggest that educators should consider the potential consequences of peer aggressive humor, emphasizing the role of negative emotions, and guiding the establishment of peer norms. As such, it contributes to the broader understanding of strategies aimed at mitigating cyberbullying incidents among students.
