Longitudinal Leisure Activity Profiles and Their Associations with Recovery Experiences and Job Performance
2017
We aimed to identify longitudinal leisure activity profiles among working adults and their links to recovery experiences and job performance. Leisure activities, recovery experiences, and job performance were investigated among 831 employees using survey data collected in spring 2013 (T1) and 2014 (T2). Through latent profile analysis (LPA), four stable longitudinal leisure activity profiles were identified. “Social Sports(wo)men” (46%) engaged in physical and social activities but rarely in creative or cultural activities. “Active Artists” (23%) pursued all leisure activities, particularly creative activities. “Socially & Culturally Inactives” (17%) exercised frequently but seldom engaged …
Verso un curricolo 0-6: continuità, discontinuità e prospettive possibili a partire da un percorso di ricerca-azione nella città di Palermo
2021
A partire da una ricerca sulla costruzione di un possibile curricolo zero-sei, condotta con un gruppo di insegnanti di scuola dell’infanzia statale ed un gruppo di educatrici di un nido comunale operanti nello stesso territorio (un quartiere del centro storico di Palermo), l’articolo mira a mettere in luce e a problematizzare ambiti di continuità e di discontinuità tra i due servizi educativi collegandoli alla storia e alla cultura organizzativa dei servizi stessi. Intende, inoltre, riflettere su possibili proposte di cambiamento organizzativo nella direzione della continuità, attraverso l’adozione di una metodologia partecipativa centrata sulla autovalutazione riflessiva, sulla progettazio…
Le burn-out en réanimation : évaluation, prévention et dispositifs d’intervention
2020
Les professionnels de réanimation sont confrontés de façon répétitives et intenses à de nombreux facteurs de stress les rendant plus vulnérables au développement d’un burn-out. Le burn-out constitue le stade final d’une rupture d’adaptation suite à un déséquilibre entre les exigences professionnelles et les ressources de l’individu. Il affecte directement la santé mentale et physique des professionnels et est associé à une diminution de la qualité et de la sécurité des soins et à une augmentation des départs des professionnels les plus expérimentés pour d’autres services. En réanimation de nombreuses études ont été menées sur les professionnels et les organisations lancent des appels à l’ac…
Effectiveness of Organizational Interventions to Reduce Emergency Department Utilization: A Systematic Review
2012
BackgroundEmergency department (ED) utilization has dramatically increased in developed countries over the last twenty years. Because it has been associated with adverse outcomes, increased costs, and an overload on the hospital organization, several policies have tried to curb this growing trend. The aim of this study is to systematically review the effectiveness of organizational interventions designed to reduce ED utilization.Methodology/principal findingsWe conducted electronic searches using free text and Medical Subject Headings on PubMed and The Cochrane Library to identify studies of ED visits, re-visits and mortality. We performed complementary searches of grey literature, manual s…
Strengthening Institutional Isomorphism in Development NGOs? Program Mechanisms in an Organizational Intervention
2017
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in international development struggle between being actors in the mainstream or representatives of alternatives to it. However, many NGOs all over the world align with the mainstream and are increasingly similar to each other. This homogenization results from institutional isomorphism, which is affected by their aspirations to be legitimate vis-á-vis the international field. Consultancies are among the main practices to promote normative isomorphism, but little is known about their micro-level dynamics. Drawing on the notion of program mechanisms in realistic evaluation, we scrutinize how external facilitators in organizational development processes enab…
Quality of life at work in academia: preliminary results for the validation of a tool for Italian university
2019
Purpose: Research on quality of working life in academia appears surprisingly rare in many countries, and in some cases nearly absent. Trying to fill this gap, a team formed by W/O psychologists from 16 Italian universities developed a tool for the assessment of psychosocial risks as well as workers health and wellbeing in universities. The validation of this tool (theoretically based on the Job Demands- Resources model) will be presented in this contribution. Design: A pilot study was conducted on a sample of 120 Italian university researchers/teachers, to make a preliminary test of the psychometric properties of the tool. In order to finalize the validation of the tool a second study was …
