Bored and exhausted? Profiles of boredom and exhaustion at work and the role of job stressors
Effectiveness of a workshop-based intervention to reduce bullying and violence at work
No intervention effects on bullying and violence at work were observed. It may be worthwhile to develop the intervention further to focus more on supervisor and co-worker relationships and on psychosocial resources of work team
Prediction of bullying at work
While many bivariate associations between socioeconomic characteristics, work characteristics, leadership, team climate, and job satisfaction were observed, reliable individualized detection of individuals at risk of becoming bullied at workplace was not successful. The predictive performance of the developed risk scores was suboptimal, and we do not recommend their use as an individual-level risk prediction tool. However, they might be useful to…
Interactions of Approach and Avoidance Job Crafting and Work Engagement
Job crafting describes proactive employee behaviors to improve the design of their work and working conditions, and to adapt their job to better suit their abilities and needs. During organizational changes, employees may use job crafting to adjust to the changes in their work and protect their well-being and motivation, i.e., work engagement. However, research shows that although the effects of job crafting strategies that expand the design of w…
Maize Marketing Policies in Tanzania, 1939–1998
According to the World Bank (1997), Tanzania ranks as the third poorest country in the world. It remains a primarily agrarian nation with roughly three-quarters of the population living on the land, engaged in low-yielding peasant agriculture.

Nowhere is this more critically illustrated than in th…

The Making of a Periphery
What makes a periphery? The southeastern corner of Tanzania is officially one of the poorest corners of the world and is always presented as a peripheral area. This volume presents a lively discussion on the making of a periphery. The contributors show the interaction between the perceptions of outsiders, the views of local people, and the actual development efforts. The authors perceive development as a negotiated and contested field. Culture is…
The Politics of Economic Diversification
This study examines how economic diversification is changing a Tanzanian village under economic liberalization. More specifically, it asks how different wealth groups are able to incorporate income-generating activities into their livelihood strategies. The conclusion is that while diversification (as a division of labour) is advanced at the village level, it appears that different activities enhance the division of the village into segregated cu…
