Work attitudes, strain and mental health of employed mothers in Bangladesh

Data were collected from 105 employed mothers engaged in part- and full-time employment in banks and educational institutions. The measuring instruments used were: the Home and Employment Role Scale (HER) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The results showed that employed mothers with negative home and employment role attitudes suffer from a greater degree of strain man those with positive home and employment role attitudes. It was also found that negative home role attitudes generate more strain than negative employment role attitudes. The degree of strain of the employed mothers has been found to vary with the duration of work and time of commencement of their work shift. The employed mothers with dependent children suffer from more strain than those with grown-up children. A significant negative correlation has been found between strain and mental health. The resu...

Students bring diverse experiences, needs, expectations, motivations, and learning styles to the classroom. Instructors counter with their own educational philosophies, preferences for pedagogy, personal styles, and decisions about content focus and course design. When the chemistry is right, the experience is glorious. Learning is simple, natural, and exciting. Students and instructor part ways with warm memories as well as new knowledge. When things go awry, classes seem endless, and instructors spend more time corralling runaway students than facilitating learning and growth. The semester ends with mutual revenge: teachers give grades and students fill out course evaluations. Teaching about organizations and management adds its own complexities to the educational challenges. The field is filled with gray areas. There are few simple rules or straightforward solutions that guarantee organizational productivity and managerial success. The theory base is peppered with hypotheses masquerading as proven facts, multiple explanations for the same phenomena, and enough contradictions to confuse even the most dedicated and enthusiastic students. All this stands in sharp contrast to the disciplines of more bottom-line-oriented colleagues-the economists, accountants, engineers, and basic scientists who also lay claim to students' time and interests. What does all this mean for the organizational behavior classroom? How can instructors create exciting and engaging courses that maximize learning for students? How can they teach students to translate conceptual learning and good intentions into effective practice? That is what this instructor's guide is all about. It is based on the premise that Reframing Organizations: Artistry, Choice, and Leadership offers a unique opportunity for teaching about organizations, good leadership, and effective management. Using Reframing Organizations as the basic text, it is possible to design courses that teach students to: 1. Become more discriminating consumers of organizational theory and advice. 2. Understand and work with the ambiguity and complexity in both the discipline's theory base and organizational reality. 3. Translate the flood of organizational solutions and leadership prescriptions into usable diagnostic tools and more elegant action strategies. This guide will show you how. The guide offers advice and suggestions on when, where, why, and how to use Reframing Organizations. It examines how to teach the art and practice of reframing. It explores why a four-frame approach to organizations-viewing

Performance and strain in short-cycled repetitive work

Their task consists of feeding machines with tobacco leaves for wrapping and finishing cigars. The results, quite unexpectedly, show that the high performance subjects spend more effort and experience a greater degree of strain as compared to the low performance subjects. It seems that the high performers are subjecting themselves to more stress and strain to earn a higher rate of bonus because they are less satisfied with their pay. One possible step to solve this problem might be the readjustment of the bonus system. Another step might be the adaptation of the cycle time of the machine to the differences in speed skill of the workers.

Effects of diurnal and seasonal sleep deficiency on work effort and fatigue of shift workers

The subjects studied consisted of a sample of 150 textile workers, working on a monthly rotating 3-shift system: morning shift (06.00-11.00 and 14.00-17.00) afternoon shift (11.00-14.00 and 17.00-22.00), and night shift (22.00-06.00). Information concerning quantity and quality of sleep were registered daily over a week for every subject. The Ratings of Perceived Effort scale and the Feeling and Symptoms of Fatigue scale were used to collect information about feeling of effort and fatigue of the subjects. The results showed that the duration of sleep length is longest in the afternoon and shortest in the night shift both during summer and winter. The amount of sleep is shorter during summer during all three shifts. The workers spent more effort and felt more fatigued during summer than winter. The shift workers, particularly of the tropical region, like Bangladesh, seem to be worst affected in terms of quantity and quality of sleep, health and well-being due to extremely high temperature (30-45 degrees Celsius) during summer than winter (5-25 degrees Celsius). The workers think that the problems of shift work could be minimized by improving the quality of working and living conditions, reducing cycle of rotation, shortening working day and closing night shift during peak summer.
