Sick leave in the United Kingdom Post Office, 1850–1908
Open AccessHarry Smith, David R Green et al.ARTICLEThe Economic History Review2026References: 2
This paper uses a large individual‐record‐level dataset on sick leave to examine adult morbidity in the United Kingdom between 1850 and 1908. From 1859 onwards postal workers were eligible to receive a pension or gratuity when they retired or were forced to stop working due to ill health. Their pension application forms contain information on up to 10 years of sick leave taken prior to retirement by each retiree. These data have several advantage…
Managing the Police Workforce: Sickness and Pensions in the Metropolitan Police in Late Nineteenth-Century London
Open AccessD Green, Douglas H L Brown et al.ARTICLEThe Business History Review2024
The provision of pensions for Civil Servants and other employees in public office, such as the police, as well as in large private businesses, became more widespread in the second half of the nineteenth century. Such pensions, and other non-pay benefits, including sick pay, not only helped with recruitment but also provided a means of managing the retirement of workers who were deemed to be incapable of performing their roles. The rules governing…

The caprice of a local board of guardians’: Geographies of new poor law procurement in England and Wales
Douglas H L BrownARTICLEBusiness History2021References: 17
Following poor law amendment in 1834, unions of parishes bought enormous quantities of goods to feed and clothe their paupers. As institutional poor relief grew dramatically during the nineteenth century, the role of poor law unions as customers in their local economies expanded. Suppliers were not subject to central government’s rules, so the unions to whom they sold enjoyed some freedom in their contractual arrangements – in stark contrast to t…
The beating heart of the system: The health of postal workers in Victorian London
Open AccessDouglas H L Brown, David R Green et al.ARTICLEJournal of Historical Geography2020Cited by: 1
In the later decades of the nineteenth century, the United Kingdom experienced a shift in the causes of mortality, from infectious diseases to those more associated with ageing. This epidemiological transition from acute to chronic conditions was accompanied by an increase in longevity and a corresponding increase in morbidity, measured by rising rates of sickness absence. As longevity improved, the period between the onset of ill health and deat…

Talking with the Experts: A Social Justice Approach to Homelessness in Regina
Douglas H L Brown, Douglas BrownARTICLEJournal of Social Distress and…2011
Homelessness is a difficult phenomenon to measure. At risk populations can view intrusion from government officials with scepticism and resistance. Also the fluid nature of a homeless population (as individuals move in and out of ‘homelessness,’ and/or homeless situations) makes it difficult to generate accurate understandings of homelessness and the circumstances associate to becoming homeless. In this study researchers engage in a series of con…
The Influence of Work Personality on Job Satisfaction: Incremental Validity and Mediation Effects
Open AccessDaniel Heller, D Lance Ferris et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2009
Drawing from recent developments regarding the contextual nature of personality (e.g., D. Wood & B. W. Roberts, 2006 ), we conducted 2 studies (1 cross‐sectional and 1 longitudinal over 1 year) to examine the validity of work personality in predicting job satisfaction and its mediation of the effect of global personality on job satisfaction. Study 1 showed that (a) individuals vary systematically in their personality between roles— they were sign…

The Award of Compensation in Criminal Cases in East Africa
Open AccessDouglas H L Brown, Douglas BrownARTICLEJournal of African Law1966
In East Africa the traditional division of “native justice” on the one side and “English law” on the other is gradually disappearing. Within the foreseeable future it is possible to visualize a single system of law administered by one judiciary. The fusion of customary law and modified English law has been, or is being, achieved with a remarkable lack of friction. Generally speaking, however, customary law has had to make greater sacrifices in ac…
