Differential Relationships Between Work-Life Interface Constructs and Intention to Stay in or Leave the Profession
This paper investigates how positive and negative work-personal life interface constructs are differentially associated with intentions to stay in or leave the profession. The findings help map work-personal life interface constructs on the typology of determinants of intention to stay and intention to leave (disengagers, retainers, criticals, and neutrals). The ordered logistic regression (ologit) modelling of cross-sectional data from a represe…
Does an alignment of employment policies and individual preferences affect intention to stay in the profession? Evidence from Canadian Midwives
BACKGROUND: This study examines whether alignment of actual and preferred employment policies, including compensation method, employment status, and work schedule, affect midwives' intention to stay in the profession. The study further investigates the moderating effect of financial-rewards satisfaction and compares midwives' policy preferences in urban/rural practices. METHODS: Cross-sectional survey data from 549 midwives across Canada were ana…
Causes of the causes
Retention of health care professionals is a global concern, but the literature on this topic is dominated by empirical work. This article explores retention among midwives practising in Canada by utilizing Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. Drawing on the interviews with 29 registered midwives across Canada, the article examines the applicability of the ecological systems theory to the analysis of workplace retention. It asserts that the…
Community-based personal support workers’ responses to health and safety risks
Across sectors, neo-liberal logics render individual workers responsible for health and safety while limiting public protections against hazards. This article considers how ‘responsibilisation’ strategies shape responses to health and safety risks among community-based personal support workers in Ontario, Canada. Using mixed-methods data, we consider how structural and demographic conditions exacerbate risks. We argue that the relational aspects …
Happy at a price
In this paper, we analyze individuals in rural communities within Ireland and two regions in Canada (Newfoundland and Ontario) to explore the relationship between employment, lifestyles and life satisfaction. A total of 106 participants were interviewed, with the vast majority being over forty years of age. We explore their employment experiences, and address two questions: how strongly is life satisfaction related to employment among older, rura…

Home Care Workers’ Skills in the Context of Task Shifting
Task shifting, which involves the transfer of care work from regulated health-care professionals to home care workers (HCWs), is a strategy to ensure the efficient delivery of home care services in Canada and internationally. Using a feminist political economy approach, this paper explores the effects of task shifting on HCWs' skills. Task shifting may be understood as a form of downward substitution-and an effort to increase control over workers…
Task shifting in the provision of home and social care in Ontario, Canada
Growing healthcare costs have caused home-care providers to look for more efficient use of healthcare resources. Task shifting is suggested as a strategy to reduce the costs of delivering home-care services. Task shifting refers to the delegation or transfer of tasks from regulated healthcare professionals to home-care workers (HCWs). The purpose of this paper is to explore the impacts of task shifting on the quality of care provided to older adu…
The nuanced nature of work quality
This article explores the relationship between job and work quality and argues that while it is important to examine job quality, to understand workers’ experiences fully, the focus should be on the broader concept of work quality, which places the job against its wider socio-economic context. Based on the experiences of 88 rural workers gathered via interviews in Newfoundland and Ireland, it appears that the same or similar jobs can be regarded …
Weekend-based short workweeks
This research focuses on those working weekends and also having a workweek of 20 hours or less, which we define as having a weekend-based short workweek (WBSW). The purpose of this paper is to examine the characteristics of workers with a WBSW, with emphasis on gender, family status, and work–life balance. To our knowledge, this is the first study examining work schedules having overlapping characteristics of both weekend work and part-time hours…
Market-Modelled Home Care
Responding to increasing health-care costs, deficit financing and the aging of the population, many OECD nations are exploring new cost-efficient health-care models. One such model, designed to manage the home-based health-care system through the application of quasi-market principles has been adopted by the province of Ontario. Findings from a case study of 835 Ontario home-care workers indicate that a market-modelled approach to health-care res…
Deteriorated External Work Environment, Heavy Workload and Nurses' Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intention
Health system reform experienced in Canada since the 1990s profoundly affected health-care workplaces and workers' attitudes. In this paper we examine associations between deteriorated external work environment, heavy workload and nurses' job satisfaction and turnover intention. Data are from our 2002 survey responses of 1,396 nurses employed in three teaching hospitals in southern Ontario. Data are analyzed first for all nurses and then separate…

Perceived Participation in Decision-Making in a University Setting
This analysis of responses to a 1988 survey of full-time faculty at a medium-sized university in central Canada indicates that women were less likely than men to perceive themselves as participating in university decision-making, even with controls for other relevant variables. Academic rank, visible or ethnic minority status, and membership in networks were also influential. No significant effect was found for the possession of a Ph.D., the amou…
