The study utilized a descriptive research method using Donald Super’s Work Values Questionnaire in tracing the work values of 317 Grade 11 and 12 Senior High School Students of San Mariano National ...High School, San Mariano, Isabela. Mean, standard deviation, and analysis of variance with the Tukey test as post hoc was used in the interpretation of the data gathered. The significant differences in the work values of the students and the impact of the courses taken from the respondents on their work values in the workplace, working environment, interactions with co-workers, and work activities, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted, and Tukey HSD as post hoc test also conducted to the significant indicator. Generally, there was a significant relationship among the assessments of the senior high school students. The result confirms that the perceptions of the respondents on work values are almost the same. The work values of the senior high school students in the different strands are generally high and were considered important. While the work values in the workplace and the work values in activities significantly predict the work values of the senior high school except for work values with a co-worker. This connotes that there was no significant relationship in the assessment of the senior high school students to these variables. Educational authorities will cater to the need to strengthen the determined weaknesses in the work values in their workplace, working environment, interaction with co-workers, and work values activities; design intervention programs and activities to enhance specific dimensions of each work value subscale on values training and a case study to determine the effectiveness of the interventions initiated is suggested.
This article contributes to understanding the radical transformation of everyday lives when parents’ remote work and children’s remote school were reconciled in homes during the early moments of the ...COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The dataset comprises an online survey (n = 92) plus interviews, online diaries, and sampled experiences from 16 Finnish remotely working parents. Identified challenges to the parents’ remote work included interruptions and fragmentation of work tasks, non-optimal work ergonomics, and rescheduling of work times. We present the strategies parents used to create new rhythms and routines, a shared space under the same roof, peace, and privacy for daily work and school, as well as managing multiple simultaneous social roles. Parents’ rich experiences provide insights into the early steps of COVID-19-catalyzed remote work. Thus, the paper offers a reference point for exploring potential development trajectories in the increasingly common hybrid work setting.

This study analyzes factors of sexual harassment in the workplace based on sample survey data on women working in the Korean film industry (
= 449) using logistic regression analysis. It finds higher ...education, younger age, and union membership increase harassment risk, suggesting backlash against feminism post-#MeToo. A higher proportion of men at shooting locations raises harassment likelihood, reflecting the industry's unique conditions. Longer work hours also increase harassment probability. The findings highlight the importance of considering industrial context in addressing workplace harassment. They emphasize the need for policies improving gender representation in film.
To aid nurses in preventing cervical spondylosis and neck subhealth, this study intends to investigate the relationship between neck health and the two categories of factors (behavior habits and ...working environment).
A self-reported questionnaire combining the neck disability index and neck pain intensity measurement tool was used to collect data anonymously. Binary logistic regression was applied to explore the association of the neck health with the working environment and behavior habits.
A total of 2880 nurses from more than ten hospitals in Kunshan participated in the survey. The risk factors of neck health status included cumulative arm lift time >1 h per day (OR = 1.29), typical head posture for using a computer tilted to the left or right (OR = 1.67), head-down (OR = 1.36), prolonged use of electronic products (OR = 1.34), prolonged head-down work (OR = 1.69), frequent assistance in turning the patient (OR = 1.27), maintaining a fixed position (OR = 1.70), having overload work (OR = 1.73), working hours >40 h per week (OR = 1.22), sedentary (OR = 1.28), napping while taking transportation (OR = 1.29), staying up late (OR = 1.40), poor ventilation (OR = 1.67), high humidity of working environment (OR = 1.83). The protective factors were sleeping enough hours per day (OR = 0.65) and exercise >2 h per week (OR = 0.81).
Although the results suggest that nurses under 45 are particularly benefited, all nurses should pay more attention to their neck health. Policymakers and relevant authorities should pay attention to nurses' neck health, develop advanced tools through multidisciplinary cooperation, provide ergonomic education, remove adverse factors from the environment, and raise nurses' neck health awareness.
•The neck sub-health status is the transitional stage between neck health and cervical spondylosis. Under-45-year-old nurses with neck subhealth should take neck problems seriously•The risk factors of neck health status included cumulative arm lift time >1 h per day, prolonged head-down work, maintaining a fixed position, having overload work, and poor ventilation and so on. Adequate sleep and exercise >2 h per week were a protective factor for neck health.•Attention should be paid to nurses' neck health to create a comfortable environment conducive to nurses' work.
AlSi10Mg alloy was fabricated by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) using two different atmospheres, argon and nitrogen, both in vertical and horizontal built directions. The influence of work environment ...and anisotropy are studied in this work by keeping all other process parameters including shielding gas pressure constant. The meso-structural features revealed scan tracks and melt pool layers while the microstructural features have showed cellular structure with α-Al matrix and its boundary made up of the eutectic mixture of Al and Si. These cells were approximately of 500 nm size as revealed by TEM analysis. The grain morphology and texture were studied using EBSD analysis. The XRD analysis revealed similarity in the phases formed in samples built under argon and nitrogen environment. Both the horizontal as well as vertical built samples contain elongated grains with 〈100〉 direction oriented along the built direction and 〈100〉 fibre texture in the XY plane. Tensile test results showed the maximum strength of 385 ± 5 MPa was exhibited by vertically built sample under nitrogen environment while the lowest strength of 338 ± 2 MPa was exhibited by horizontally built sample under argon environment. Surface roughness and porosity measured in all the conditions exhibited minor variation in the average surface roughness and porosity area fraction values. Among the samples tested under same built orientation, the variation in strength is approximately 5% higher in nitrogen environment while among the samples tested under same working environment, the variation in strength is approximately 7.5% higher in vertically built samples. This states that the influence of working environment on strength is lesser than that of the built orientation. The materials exhibited brittle failure with inclined fracture profile, fracture morphology with pores, river patterns and inter-cellular fracture plus approximately 4.5% elongation in all the tested samples, implied isotropic elongation behaviour. The samples built under both the work environments exhibited the similarity in defect structure, microstructure and nearly isotropic behaviour in mechanical properties. It inferred that nitrogen could be preferred over argon as shielding gas in SLM for its cost effectiveness.
Digital technologies have become an essential part of our everyday lives. While they were still a curious novelty in the 1960s and 1970s, they seem to permeate an ever- increasing part of today’s ...societies (Levin & Mamlok 2021). By now, they are no longer confined to offices, where people need to physically sit in front of computers to use them. Instead, they are ubiquitous, with handheld devices being portable, and wearable technologies frequently even unobtrusive (Delabrida Silva et al. 2018). Augmented Realities blur the lines between technology and reality, while Virtual Realities even place a technological layer over our realities (Arena et al. 2022). Our technologically embedded lives create a myriad of data, which is used for various kinds of communication and as a currency. It is shared on social media for social interaction and to cultivate a personal image (Hall 2018). Moreover, it is routinely shared with companies for marketing and product development, sometimes in exchange for services (Cao et al. 2022). Thus, the datafication of our lives pulls us into a complex network of interactions (...)
•Employees with ASD need unique workplace accessibility.•Workplace accessibility relates to the employees’ challenges and strengths.•Workplace accessibility classification encompasses mostly ...nonphysical dimensions.•Applying autism-related accessibility is an ongoing process.•Autism-related accessibility should be incorporated in the organization’s policy.
Participation in employment by individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) remains restricted despite their high motivation and evident abilities. Challenges to employment result from personal characteristics and environmental barriers. This phenomenological research explores the accessibility of a competitive work environment according to the perceptions of adults with ASD.
We conducted in-depth interviews with 19 employees with ASD, followed by a thematic content analysis. Three themes emerged: (a) the employees’ motivation for employment, (b) challenges and abilities at work, and (c) workplace accessibility (types of accommodations, implementation process).
The findings contribute a classification of accommodations that addresses the core characteristics of autism—challenges as well as abilities and motivations for employment. Four types of accommodations were identified: job-performance communication, attitudes and interpersonal communication, daily workplace routines, and physical and sensory environments. Hence, this study supports the centrality of environmental factors in successful employment of individuals with ASD.
This study presents an evidence-based foundation for autism-related workplace accessibility. It offers an approach to enhance employees’ abilities, strengths, and motivation for employment, as well as to decrease barriers and challenges. The findings may expand organizational policies regarding accessibility and thereby anchor workplace accommodations within organizations’ corporate cultures.
