Like clouds in a windy sky : mindfulness training reduces negative affect reactivity in daily life in a randomized controlled trial
2020
While prior research has found mindfulness to be linked with emotional responses to events, less is known about this effect in a non-clinical sample. Even less is known regarding the mechanisms of the underlying processes: It is unclear whether participants who exhibit increased acceptance show decreased emotional reactivity (i.e., lower affective responses towards events overall) or a speedier emotional recovery (i.e., subsequent decrease in negative affect) due to adopting an accepting stance. To address these questions, we re-analysed two Ambulatory Assessment data sets. The first (NStudy1 = 125) was a 6-week randomized controlled trial (including a 40-day ambulatory assessment); the sec…
Burnout-related ill-being at work : Associations between mindfulness and acceptance skills, worksite factors, and experienced well-being in life
2018
The aim of this paper was to investigate the associations between mindfulness and acceptance (MAA) skills and burnout-related ill-being at work (ILLB) after eliminating the impact of worksite (WS) and general well-being in life (WELLB) factors. The results were derived from data on employees (n = 168) of varying professional backgrounds, who experienced relatively high levels of burnout. Analyses were conducted using structural equation modelling (SEM) and the Cholesky decomposition method, since these allow for the investigation of multiple measures and multiple factors in relation to one another. In relation to ill-being at work, the analyses revealed a general MAA factor as well as a spe…
Managing stress during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and beyond: Reappraisal and mindset approaches
2020
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic is a global public health crisis of a scale not previously experienced in modern times (Kickbusch et al., 2020). Governmental ‘lockdown’ measures aimed at minimizing virus transmission including ‘stay at home’ orders, closure of businesses and places of congregation, and travel restrictions have had a substantive societal impact that permeates almost every facet of daily life (Gostin & Wiley, 2020; Shanafelt, Ripp, & Trockel, 2020). These widespread changes represent considerable sources of stress in the population and will have deleterious effects on mental and physical health going forward. As nations begin to emerge from ‘lockdown’, …
The person-oriented approach to burnout : A systematic review
2016
The variable-oriented approach has dominated empirical burnout research, but during the last 10 years a person-oriented approach to burnout has also become common. The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify, categorize and evaluate the empirical research to date that has adopted a person-oriented approach to burnout. The results of these studies were then compared with those generated by variable-oriented burnout research. An electronic search of seven databases was conducted in spring 2015. Initially 470 publications were identified, 24 of which met the selection criteria. The reviewed articles were categorized into three groups based on their research target(s): (1) intr…
Multiple job holding, societal change, and individual careers: Contributions to the chaos theory of careers
2020
The chaos theory of careers was applied to identify the connections between multiple jobholders’ careers and societal change. Multiple job holding is a form of employment that consists of two or more overlapping jobs. Six interviews with men born in the 1960s in Finnish North Karelia, whose multiple job holding included agricultural and forestry work, were analyzed. Our results showed that multiple job holding career development has societal connections and that the experiences of multiple job holding varied across individuals. Moreover, multiple job holding experiences and further career development endeavors were influenced by whether the multiple job holding career developed in line wit…
Innovations and Growth: Evidence from Finnish SMEs
2019
The purpose of this study is to clarify the factors that affect the ability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create innovations that promote firm growth. Studies regarding the relationship between research intensity and growth have typically produced mixed results, revealing a modest or non-existent influence of innovations on sales growth. These studies have typically used patents as indicators of innovation. We directly asked firms whether their innovations had affected their growth, and we regressed the results over several variables, covering a wide range of dimensions related to (1) personal factors, (2) firm-related factors (including questions that reflect a firm’s in…
Correlation between school dropout and gross domestic product in the emerging countries of Central and Eastern Europe
2020
By school dropout is meant leaving the educational system, regardless of the reached level, before obtaining a qualification or a complete proffesional training or before the end of the study cycle started (Doron & Parot, 2006). Although there are numerous researches on school dropout, we consider that it is necessary to study the relationship it has with the level of development of a country, in order to identify new causes and possible solutions to this phenomenon. In this study we included seven emerging countries of Central and Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary. Thus, we analyzed the correlation between the annual gross domesti…
Stress scolaire des collégiens et des lycéens : effet de l’appréhension de l’orientation et de la pression de la note
2018
Resume Cette etude a pour objectif d’interroger l’effet predicteur de deux variables liees a l’ideologie meritocratique et possiblement associees au stress scolaire : l’apprehension de l’orientation et l’apprehension de l’evaluation sommative. L’effet differentiel de ces variables sur le stress en fonction du sexe de l’eleve et du contexte de scolarisation (college/lycee) a egalement ete interroge. Un questionnaire a ete diffuse aupres de 609 eleves scolarises dans le secondaire. Les resultats montrent que, globalement, l’apprehension emotionnelle de l’orientation et l’apprehension de l’evaluation sont des predicteurs significatifs du stress scolaire. Des effets differentiels selon le conte…
Validez Inicial de una Escala de Medición del Capital Intelectual en Universidades
2016
Problema: La dificultad para medir el capital intelectual en universidades latinoamericanas acentúa su poco interés, a pesar de su relevancia en la economía del conocimiento. Objetivo: Construir y validar una escala de medición del capital intelectual de universidades a partir de la Teoría de Recursos y Capacidades y un modelo de tres componentes (capital humano, capital estructural y capital relacional). Método: Esta escala la elaboró un grupo de expertos utilizando análisis de contenido. La prueba empírica fue con una muestra de conveniencia (n=742) de académicos, mandos medios y directivos de universidades mexicanas. Resultados y conclusiones: Con el análisis factorial exploratorio se de…
Les chaînes logistiques multi-acteurs internationales dans le textile : le point de vue des achats
2013
L’objectif de cet article est de determiner dans quelle mesure, du point de vue des achats, le pilotage de la chaine logistique amont du textile est strategique et donc dans quelle mesure la prise en compte des competences logistiques et supply chain peuvent remettre en cause les choix strategiques de globalisation des entreprises. Pour repondre a cette question nous avons mobilise une revue de litterature sur le pilotage des supply chains internationales, ensuite nous avons utilise l’etude de deux cas d’entreprises, la premiere est specialisee dans la lingerie tandis que la deuxieme est specialisee dans le haut de gamme. L’analyse de deux cas a partir du point de vue des acheteurs montre q…
