Coping Mechanism in a Socio – Educational Light: A Case Study in Nowadays’ Romanian Medical Organizations

2014

Abstract Professional stress became part of our everyday life. Statistics in the field of education and medicine, in almost all European countries, emphasize work stress to be the most prevalent. Despite this evidence, minimal data are available about the incidence of burnout cases among Romanian medical staff. Therefore, our study came to fill a research gap, as it aimed to depict and analyze burnout symptomatology among 103 health professionals (N=103), doctors and nurses, working in Romanian public hospitals, using a set of socio-demographic and psychological dimensions. More precisely, we intended to reveal and explain the interrelation between burnout, measured with MBI-HSS - (Maslach …

Menores en situación de riesgo social: valoración de un programa para la mejora de la autoestima

2013

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo valorar la eficacia del programa de desarrollo de la autoestima (PIAM-RS) en menores en riesgo social. La muestra está formada por 110 menores entre 9 y 12 años, de los que 72 constituyen el grupo experimental y 38 el grupo control; todos fueron evaluados antes y después de la intervención. Se demuestra la eficacia del programa, según indica el análisis de varianza realizado. La variable sexo no actúa como variable moduladora de estos resultados. Existen diferencias en función de la cultura de origen, siendo el grupo de gitanos el que menos mejora con la intervención, comparado con el grupo de inmigrantes y con el grupo de payos.

Self-esteem during university studies predicts career characteristics 10 years later

2007

Abstract To examine how self-esteem measured during university studies would impact on the characteristics of the work career 10 years later, 297 university students completed the Rosenberg’s self-esteem inventory four times while at university and various career-related questionnaires 10 years later. Latent Growth Curve Modeling showed that a high overall level of self-esteem predicted being in permanent employment 10 years later, having a high salary, and reporting a high level of work engagement, and job satisfaction, and a low level of burnout. By contrast, low self-esteem predicted unemployment, feelings of exhaustion, cynicism and reduced accomplishment at work, and low levels of work…

Social strategies during university studies predict early career work burnout and engagement: 18-year longitudinal study

2011

Abstract This longitudinal study spanning 18 years examined the role of social strategies in early career adaptation. The aim was to find out whether individuals' social strategies measured during their university studies had an impact on work burnout and work engagement measured 10–18 years later. A sample of 292 university students completed the SAQ questionnaire three times while at university and the work burnout inventory three times and the work engagement inventory twice during their early career. According to the results, the higher the initial level of social optimism and the more it increased during university studies, and the lower the initial levels of social withdrawal and soci…

Engaging in upward and downward comparisons as a determinant of relative deprivation at work

2003

A longitudinal study was conducted among 93 nurses to determine the role of comparing one's performance with that of one's colleagues in the increase versus decrease of perceived relative deprivation at work over a period of one year. Relative deprivation at T2 had increased particularly among those high in social comparison orientation (Gibbons & Buunk, 1999) who at T1 (1) more frequently engaged in upward comparisons; (2) more frequently derived positive as well as negative feelings from such comparisons; and (3) more frequently derived negative feelings from downward comparison. Moreover, engaging in downward comparison also led to an increase in perceived relative deprivation at T2.…

Employees' motivational orientation and well‐being at work

2004

This study utilises a person‐oriented view to examine what kind of motivational orientations employees have, and how they contribute to their well‐being. Two separate studies were carried out. A total of 286 white‐collar workers employed in a public sector educational institution in a middle‐sized town in Central Finland participated in the first study (116 men and 170 women). All the participants filled in Little's Personal Project Analysis and burnout inventory, a work ability index, Beck's Depression and Diener's Satisfaction with life scales. Analysis of the results found four motivational orientations, work‐, self‐, hobby‐ and health‐orientations among the employees. The work‐orientati…

Predicting Self–Confident Behaviour with Implicit and Explicit Self–Esteem Measures

2016

The present research compared the validity of popular direct and indirect measures of self–esteem in predicting self–confident behaviour in different social situations. In line with behavioural dual–process models, both implicit and explicit self–esteem were hypothesized to be related to appearing self–confident to unacquainted others. A total of 127 participants responded to the Rosenberg Self–Esteem Scale, the Multidimensional Self–Esteem Scale, and an adjective scale for measuring explicit self–esteem (ESE). Participants‘ implicit self–esteem (ISE) was assessed with four indirect measures: the Implicit Association Test (IAT), the name–letter task (NLT), and two variants of an affective …

Unraveling the three faces of self-esteem: A new information-processing sociometer perspective

2009

Abstract Based on an integration of sociometer theory and information-processing models, the present study investigated the predictive validity of three self-esteem measures: self-report, an implicit association test, and an affective priming task. In a first session, self-esteem measures were obtained from 93 participants. After an interval of four weeks, interpersonal perception ratings were collected in small round-robin groups. Participants were requested to briefly introduce themselves to the group before evaluating one another and indicating how they expected to be evaluated by the others (metaperceptions). As hypothesized, all three self-esteem measures independently predicted the pe…
