Teachers' physiological and self-reported stress, teaching practices and students' learning outcomes in Grade 1.
2022
Background Teachers' self-reported stress is related to the quality of teacher–student interactions and students' learning outcomes. However, it is unclear if teachers' physiological stress is related to child-centred teaching practices in the classroom and whether teaching practices mediate the link between teachers' stress and students' learning outcomes. Aims We studied the effect of teachers' physiological stress and self-reported stress on their teaching practices and thereby on students' learning outcomes in math. Sample A total of 53 classroom teachers and 866 Grade 1 students participated in the study. Methods Salivary cortisol in the middle of the school day and cortisol slope from…
Critical Exploration of Flexible Delivery
2020
This work-in-progress research article presents an introductory qualitative study on students' perceptions of a flexibly delivered, modular computer science course. Many contemporary approaches to education rely in various ways on flexible delivery of course content. This is often done to capitalize on modern technology and the web, and to put the student ‘in the center.' However, it is becoming manifest that these approaches may challenge both the students and the equity between them, making it important to understand the effects of flexible delivery in terms of the students. In the voice of our students, flexible delivery was seen as a largely positive approach, reducing stress, promoting…

The Mediating Role of Individual Differences in the Interaction between Specific Socioprofessional Pressures and Job Satisfaction
2014
Abstract Previous research suggests that individual differences play an essential role in the complex process of organisational stress. The mediator role of specific individual differences and coping strategies, in the stressor – strain (effect) relationship is investigated in the present research. One sample of romanian employees (N=311) from an administrative-public service organisation participated in the study. Using the Pressure Managment Indicator (PMI, Williams & Cooper, 1998 ; PMI-RO, Brate, 2004, 2008 ), findings revealed significant mediating interactions between specific socioprofessional pressures and job satisfaction. The results have practical implications for the future resea…
The Effect of Organizational Politics on Job Stress; Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction
2018
The purpose of this quantitative study is to investigate the relationship between organizational politics and job stress and the mediating role of job satisfaction. Changes in working circumstances causes work related stress. There are various vulnerabilities associated to stress such as work content, workload, working hours, control and career development, position in the organization, interpersonal dealings and traditions of the employing organization.The job stress can be deterred through primary avoidance such as concentrated work design and administration growth, secondary avoidance such as workers' learning and training and tertiary avoidance such as mounting responsive organization s…
Intensified job demands, stress of conscience and nurses' experiences during organizational change
2022
Background:Nurses frequently face ethically demanding situations in their work, and these may lead to stress of conscience. Working life is currently accelerating and job demands are intensifying. These intensified job demands include (1) work intensification, (2) intensified job-related planning demands, (3) intensified career-related planning demands, and (4) intensified learning demands. At the same time, many healthcare organizations are implementing major organizational changes that have an influence on personnel.Aim:The aim of the study was to investigate the association between intensified job demands and stress of conscience, and whether their association is moderated by organizatio…
Organizācijas kultūras, ar darbu saistītā stresa un slimības prombūtnes saistība
2017
Pētījumā tika izvirzīts mērķis izpētīt organizāciju kultūras, stresa un darba kavējumu saistību vienas organizācijas ietvaros. Lai sasniegtu šo mērķi bija nepieciešami 3 instrumenti – „Darba Stresoru Skala”, „Organizāciju kultūras izpētes aptauja” un „Demogrāfiskā anketa”. Pētījuma uzdevumi ietvēra „Darba Stresoru Skalas” adaptācijas pirmo posmu krievu valodā; organizāciju kultūras saistību ar darba stresu; darba nespējas saistības izpēti gan ar darba stresu, gan organizācijas kultūru; noskaidrošanu, cik lielā mērā demogrāfiskie, organizāciju kultūras un ar darbu saistītā stresa faktori prognozē darba nespēju. Pētījums tika veikts ražošanas Organizācijā X, tajā piedalījās 102 respondenti, n…
Misfit evaluation of dental implant-supported metal frameworks manufactured with different techniques: Photoelastic and strain gauge measurements
2016
This study aims to compare in-vitro the fitting accuracy of implant-supported metal frameworks used for full-arch orthodontic restoration. The hypotheses tested were as follows: (1) for a fixed implant morphology, strains developed within the framework depend on how the framework had been fabricated and (2) stresses transferred to the implant–bone interface are related to the amount of framework misfit. Metal frameworks were fabricated using four different manufacturing techniques: conventional lost-wax casting, resin cement luting, electrospark erosion, and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing milling. Each framework was instrumented with three strain gauges to measure strai…
