The relationship between organizational dissent and workplace freedom of speech: A cross-cultural analysis in Singapore

2017

AbstractThis study is a test of the relationship between organizational dissent and the perception of workplace freedom of speech in Singapore. Through a quantitative analysis of 384 individuals in Singapore, the following was found: articulated dissent and latent dissent are positively correlated with workplace freedom of speech. In addition, multiple analysis of covariance analyses revealed nation of birth exerted considerable influence on articulated dissent, and latent dissent, but not on workplace freedom of speech. The results provide evidence of how nation of birth is related to an individual’s willingness to express dissent. Theoretical and practical implications for research into o…

Learning Surgical Skills with Simulator Training: Residents’ Experiences and Perceptions

2011

Simulator training is becoming a more integral part of surgical psychomotor skills training for video-assisted operating techniques, which need to be practiced repeatedly and systematically. Studies concerning the implementation, realization, and potentiality of simulator training programs for hospital surgeons are needed. Also, trainees’ expectations of training, and the feasibility of combining such training with their hospital work, remain rather unknown. This paper presents important theoretical factors that influence surgical skills learning through computer-based simulator training. The curriculum and the study of learners’ training experiences are presented. Statistical analysis on p…

“How Real People Really Need Mathematics in the Real World”—Authenticity in Mathematics Education

2018

This paper discusses authenticity from the perspective of mathematics education. Often, school mathematics offers students inauthentic word problems, which don’t show the authentic usefulness of mathematics in real life. In some tasks, authentic aspects are combined with inauthentic ones (e.g., an authentic context, but the question is artificial and different from what people within that context would ask). Several studies show that students are more motivated by authentic questions than by authentic contexts. Embedding these findings, I discuss issues associated with defining authenticity in education. A first issue is that philosophers use the term to characterize a person’s existential …

The Feasibility of a Text-Messaging Intervention Promoting Physical Activity in Shift Workers : A Process Evaluation

2023

Workplace health promotion programs (WHPPs) can improve shift workers’ physical activity. The purpose of this paper is to present the process evaluation of a text messaging health promotion intervention for mining shift workers during a 24-day shift cycle. Data collected from intervention participants with a logbook (n = 25) throughout the intervention, exit interviews (n = 7) and online surveys (n = 17) examined the WHPP using the RE-AIM (Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance) framework. The program reached 66% of workers across three departments, with 15% of participants dropping out. The program showed the potential to be adopted if the recruitment strategies are impr…

Investigation of superspreading COVID-19 outbreak events in meat and poultry processing plants in Germany: A cross-sectional study.

2020

Since May 2020, several COVID-19 outbreaks have occurred in the German meat industry despite various protective measures, and temperature and ventilation conditions were considered as possible high-risk factors. This cross-sectional study examined meat and poultry plants to examine possible risk factors. Companies completed a self-administered questionnaire on the work environment and protective measures taken to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for the possibility to distance at least 1.5 meters, break rules, and employment status was performed to identify risk factors associated with COVID-19 cases. Twenty-two meat and poultry plants with 1…

THE DYNAMICS OF LEARNING AND NEGATIVE EMOTION IN WORKPLACE CONFLICT

Research Aim This study uses a systemic approach to explore the dynamics of learning and negative emotion in workplace intraorganisational conflict. Our dynamic hypothesis was that the endogenous dynamics between the level of intraorganisational conflict and the levels of learning and negative emotion, which are accumulating in the organisation as by-products of conflict, are causing the conflict level to oscillate. Methods A systematic literature review identified two problematic, “Undesired” or “Feared” patterns of intraorganisational conflict development over time (Group Disintegration, Groupthink), and one “Desired” pattern of moderate conflict level (Cohesion and Resilience), which com…

Concepts and Framework

2014

Alongside defining the term ‘event’, the relevant literature has developed five characteristics for distinguishing events: (1) the event schedule, (2) the event strategy, (3) the event period, (4) the event content and (5) the event size (Preuss et al., 2009, 26). While singular events in the area of art and culture (including historical jubilee celebrations and concerts) are considered as being of vital importance, singular events in sports are rather an exception and comparatively limited (ibid.) Events in the area of sport are typically considered as regularly held events within an event series (Kurscheidt, 2006). It is however to be differentiated between guest-events being held from a …

SALUTE E SICUREZZA NEI LUOGHI DI LAVORO: LE RISPOSTE INTEGRATE DEGLI ORDINAMENTI STATALE E INTERSINDACALE

2020

Il saggio analizza la risposta dell’ordinamento intersindacale all’emergenza epidemiologica da Covid-19 in materia di salute e sicurezza nei luoghi di lavoro attraverso una disamina del Protocollo del 24 aprile 2020, e delle prime applicazioni contrattualcollettive. Tecnicismi a parte, lo studio sottolinea come le misure pattuite dalle parti sociali specificano ed integrano gli obblighi inderogabili e generali di legge in materia di salute e sicurezza. Infine, il saggio si interroga sulla compatibilità tra meccanismi di contact tracing e privacy all'insegna di una prospettiva multi-livello. The essay focuses on the recent measures undertaken by social partners against Covid-19 in the field …
