Working-Time Regimes and Work-Life Balance in Europe
2015
The organization of times and places of work are key elements of working conditions, and define employees’ possibilities for balancing work and other life spheres. This study analyses several aspects of temporal and spatial flexibility, and their associations with employees’ work-life balance. This study separates four dimensions of temporal flexibility and one indicator of spatial flexibility. The dimensions of temporal flexibility are the number of hours worked, when the hours are worked, work-time intensity, and the degree of working-time autonomy. The workplace flexibility indicator is an index of work locations. Work-life balance is analysed with work-hour fit. The analyses were based …
Studio trasversale sulle variabili di stress lavoro-correlato nei medici in formazione specialistica del maggiore Policlinico Universitario della Sic…
2015
Introduzione: Il rischio stress lavoro-correlato è uno degli obiettivi della valutazione e prevenzione dei rischi occupazionali negli operatori sanitari (O.S.). I medici in formazione specialistica (MIFS) rappresentano una tipologia di OS sovrapponibile ai dirigenti medici in termini di esposizione lavorativa e quindi di insorgenza di sindromi da stress lavoro-correlato. Obiettivi: Obiettivo dello studio è valutare un set di fattori di rischio stress lavoro-correlato nei MIFS del principale Policlinico Universitario della Sicilia, sottoposti a sorveglianza sanitaria. Materiali e Metodi: Studio trasversale condotto mediante questionario anonimo ed autosomministrato. Risultati: Il 45% dei MIF…
Workaholism and Work Engagement: How Are They Similar? How Are They Different? A Meta-Analysis of Their Relation
2018
Workaholism and work engagement can be depicted, respectively, as the pathological and the healthy form of heavy work investment. The former has been described as an addiction to work, yielded by the combination of excessive working hours and compulsive working style, whilst the latter has recently been introduced in workplace health literature as a pleasant mental state consisting of vigor, dedication, and absorption. In spite of their different definitions and outcomes on individual and organizational life, workaholism and work engagement are not clearly and adequately distinguished by scholars and researchers, since these two constructs seem to show some overlapping features. The aim of …
Knowledge organization for modelling workflows in Taverna environment
2014
Today Workflow Management Systems (WFMS), like Taverna and Kepler, have a very important place in the everyday work of the scientist. These tools support the access to computational resources and act as interface for building complex data processing chains. The next step is to support decisions of the researcher on autonomously developing workflow parts guided by requirements of the scientist while she/he is working on the high-level goal of the experiment. To this aim, it is necessary an ontology to store the knowledge related to the experiments and tools used, and to make this knowledge available not only to the scientist, but also to a suitable artificial intelligent system. In this pape…
Mental health promotion competencies in the health sector based on a Delphi study
2018
Purpose Effective public mental health policy and practice call for a trained workforce that is competent in mental health promotion and delivering on improved mental health. Systematic information on what competencies are needed for mental health promotion practice in the health sector is lacking. The purpose of this paper is to investigate these competencies for mental health promotion. Design/methodology/approach A Delphi survey was carried out to facilitate a consensus-building process on development of the competencies. Professionals (n=32) working in mental health and mental health promotion took part in the survey. The experts were asked their professional views on the needed compet…
Programas de intervención con hombres penados por violencia de género: el enfoque motivacional como aproximación para mejorar su eficacia
2020
La violencia de género es un problema de salud pública de proporciones epidémicas con serias consecuencias para la salud física y psicológica de las víctimas, sus hijos y la sociedad en su conjunto. Una de las aproximaciones para responder a esta problemática son los programas de intervención con maltratadores. Los meta-análisis que se han llevado a cabo para evaluar la eficacia de estos programas han mostrado tamaños del efecto pequeños. Debido a ello, se han propuesto nuevos acercamientos como vía para incrementar su eficacia, entre los que destacan las estrategias motivacionales. El objetivo de la presente tesis doctoral fue analizar el efecto de la inclusión de estrategias motivacionale…
Early and Later Predictors of Outcome in Brief Therapy: The Role of Real Relationship
2012
Objectives: The study examined whether clients who continued longer in brief therapy reported stronger associations of real relationship and working alliance with therapy outcome than clients who received very brief treatment. It also examined whether real relationship and working alliance assessed early in treatment predicted outcome differently from that assessed later in therapy. Method: Fifty clients (32 women; Mage = 22.3 years) were recruited from a university counseling center. Thirty- two clients (very brief therapy) completed the post-third session assessment of real relationship and working alliance, and 18 (brief therapy) had both the third and eighth assessment. Results: The rea…

Formare educatori e insegnanti ludici
2020
Che cosa significa “formare insegnanti ed educatori ludici”? Partendo dal significato del termine “Ludico”, il saggio approfondisce in cosa consista la “capacità di giocare” con i bambini e di promuovere il loro gioco libero. Propone quindi una riflessione riguardo ad ambiti, percorsi e metodologie per la formazione sottolineando come questa debba essere caratterizzata: da un apprendimento centrato sull’esperienza, sull’osservazione e sull’auto-osservazione; dalla dimensione di gruppo; dalla interazione tra pari, da attività focalizzate sui linguaggi artistico-espressivi; da un’attenzione alla dimensione psico-corporea ed emotiva. Nella parte conclusiva viene presentato un possibile modello…
Using English at work : English skills of Finnish Police officers
2010
Englanti on kieli, jota moni suomalainen tarvitsee työelämässään. Maahanmuuttajien määrä kasvaa erityisesti pääkaupunkiseudulla. Helsingissä työskentelevät poliisit kohtaavat työssään yhä useammin tilanteita, joissa vaaditaan englannin kielen taitoa. Poliisien kielitaito on aihe, jota ei ole tutkittu paljon; viimeisin tutkimus lienee vuodelta 1994. Näin ollen tämä tutkimus tuo arvokasta tietoa poliisien englannin taidoista. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää millaisissa työtilanteissa poliisit käyttävät englantia ja millainen on poliisien mielipide heidän omasta englannin kielen taidostaan. Tutkimuksessa pyrittiin myös selvittämään kuinka usein poliisit käyttävät englantia työssään…
