Employers’ attitudes towards labour inclusion of persons with borderline intellectual functioning (BIF): An empirical evidence
2020
In the vocational rehabilitation of persons with disabilities (BIF), the need to consider the variables related to employer demand is increasingly becoming an important research topic. This empirical research explores the perceptions and attitudes of employers in hiring and retaining people with borderline intellectual functioning (BIF). For this purpose, the Metaplan procedure was used and a focus group was conducted in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of the Spanish Vinalopó Footwear Cluster. Results showed a significant lack of knowledge and visibility of people with BIF. Lack of financial support to encourage hiring was pointed out by participants in the group as the most relevant ba…
Prevalence of burnout in Polish anesthesiologists and anesthetist nursing professionals: A comparative non-randomized cross-sectional study.
2015
The purpose of the study was to assess the burnout levels in nurses ( N = 161) versus physicians ( N = 373). The levels of burnout were evaluated by the Polish adaptation of the Spanish Burnout Inventory (Cronbach’s alpha > .70). High burnout level was found in 18.63 percent nurses and 12.06 percent anesthesiologists, and critical level in 3.74 percent nurses and 5.90 percent anesthetists. There were statistically significant differences in Burnout global score, Enthusiasm toward the job, Psychological exhaustion, and Indolence subscales between nurses and physicians. No significant differences were found between sexes in any variable.
“The Same Staff Can Be Enough”. Employers’ Resilience Strategies in Recruitment Decisions
2018
Studies on resilience have sprung from a need to understand the survival strategies of organizations when faced with the emergence of unexpected, potentially destructive and negative events in the lives of the organizations. This article, on the other hand, intends to highlight organizational resilience when confronted with unexpected positive events, seldom considered by such studies. This is the well-known macroeconomic phenomenon of the time lag between economic growth and labor demand at the moment that a regressive economic cycle is reversed. With which strategies do companies, in the face of such an event, transform a resilient attitude into real resilient behavior? Five strategies of…
Entrepreneurship Training and Self-Employment among University Graduates
2012
In economies characterized by low labor demand and high rates of youth unemployment, entrepreneurship training has the potential to enable youth to gain skills and create their own jobs. This paper presents experimental evidence on a new entrepreneurship track that provides business training and personalized coaching to university students in Tunisia. Undergraduates in the final year of licence appliquee were given the opportunity to graduate with a business plan instead of following the standard curriculum. This paper relies on randomized assignment of the entrepreneurship track to identify impacts on labor market outcomes one year after graduation. The analysis finds that the entrepreneur…
Control empresarial del uso de dispositivos digitales en el ámbito laboral desde la perspectiva del derecho a la protección de datos y a la intimidad
2020
Los avances tecnológicos no sólo han permitido una evolución en los procesos productivos o en la forma organizativa y de trabajar de las empresas, sino que también han posibilitado que éstas escojan nuevas formas y métodos de supervisión de la actividad laboral más invasivos, que, en ocasiones, entran en colisión con los derechos fundamentales de los trabajadores, entre ellos, el derecho a la protección de datos y el derecho a la intimidad. La vigente Ley de Protección de Datos destina algunos preceptos a regular el control y acceso por parte de la empresa a los dispositivos digitales facilitados al trabajador. El presente trabajo analiza estos preceptos y los rasgos más destacados de su ré…

Foreign Taleovers and Wages: Theory and Evidence from Hungary
2005
This study discriminates FDI technology spillover from learning effects. Whenever learning takes time, our model predicts that foreign investors deduct the economic value of learning from wages of inexperienced workers and add it to experienced ones to prevent them from moving to local competitors. Hence, the national wage bill is unaffected by foreign takeovers. In contrast to learning, technology spillover effects occur whenever a worker with MNE experience contributes more to local firms’ than to MNEs’ productivity. In this case, experienced MNE workers are hired by local firms and the host country obtains a welfare gain. We investigate empirically wages, productivity, and worker turnove…
PRIMO experiment: study-action on the dynamics of the creation of new enterprises and jobs in the Social and Solidarity Economy
2016
A research-action was carried out in 2015 and 2016 by the Regional Chamber of the Social and Solidarity Economy (CRESS) of Franche-Comté, accompanied by public partners, scientific and from the field of support, with the aim of better understand the dynamics of the creation of SSE enterprises in the regions, identified by the criterion of employment. The results of the survey component, obtained through the Catalyse® method (see http://www.acokima.org), make it possible to establish a typology of primary-employer structures. In particular, they show that the ability of a territory to "generate" new employers in the ESS is primarily linked to the existing voluntary sector and to the possibil…
In search of a theoretical framework of factors influencing work and life balance
2021
Work and life balance (WLB) has gained noticeable attention amid the pandemic. Even before the outbreak of COVID-19, the increasing pace of life encouraged the investigation of individual and organisational aspects of WLB. Physically and mentally healthy people help society develop and grow. Health issues caused by work and life imbalance lead to dissatisfaction with both work and life, which, in turn, leads to higher stress and stress-related illnesses, for instance, burnout. From the organisational point of view, WLB is a factor in analysing the efficiency of an enterprise. The consequences of a work-life imbalance are intentional or unintentional absence, high employee turnover, low prod…
