Contribuciones de las organizaciones comunitarias a la promoción de la salud mental de niños, niñas, adolescentes y jóvenes en el Pacífico colombiano
This article examines the essential work carried out by community-based organizations in three municipalities of Colombia’s Pacific region marked by a history of conflict and political violence: Buenaventura, Quibdó, and Tumaco. The study focuses on understanding how these entities actively contribute to fostering the emotional well-being and mental health of children, adolescents, and youth, who represent a particularly vulnerable population wit…
Translation of trustworthiness signals into factors for stakeholder value cocreation
In this empirical paper, we contribute to this special issue on “The Marketing and Public Affairs of Sustainability” by addressing value creation, the raison d'être for the marketing scholarship, from a social sustainability perspective. Our evidence shows that during the interlinked practices of a focal organization and its external stakeholders, the practices from the former emit trustworthiness signals which translate into factors for stakehol…
A Tale of Two Legacies
The career development of Blacks has been neglected in literature for years. The focus on the Black family business and how this dynamic creates family career legacies, which are perpetuated through generations, adds to this body of literature. In the collection of career stories from members of two Black family businesses, this article sought to understand how Blacks made meaning of the events that influenced their career decisions, constructing…
Dorothy Madden (1912–2009), American Revolutionary. A Centenary Tribute
Dorothy Madden was an inspirational dancer, teacher, writer and choreographer; she studied with many of the great figures of American modern dance including Holm, Nikolais, Graham, Humphrey and Limón, and in particular Louis Horst, whose protégé she became. In the early 1960s she was invited to the UK by the Ministry of Education to introduce her approach to American modern dance into the British education system. As is noted in Valerie Preston-D…
Team Autonomy, Performance, and Member Job Strain
En raison du développement des équipes de travail dans les organisations, on souhaite obtenir des informations sur la meilleure façon de structurer les groupes pour les rendre efficients. Cette étude porte sur la relation de l’expérience de l’autonomie et du travail en équipe, des capacités et des compétences (KSAs) avec la performance du groupe et l’effort émanant de ses membres. Deux modèles ont été mis à l’épreuve à partir d’une recherche théo…
Eliciting and Analysing Employees' Expectations of a Merger
The merger of the head offices of two public service organizations in Sweden was used to examine differences in the meanings that employees attach to the organizations involved and their expectations of the new merged organization, nine months prior to the merger. A two-stage methodology was used, combining the repertory grid method with a survey questionnaire based on the elicited constructs. Predictions from a social constructivist perspective …
Production Teamworking
A UK manufacturer introduced a common model of teamworking which achieved quite different performance results in wire-mills and roperies. Survey data (n = 231) showed higher job-related strain and lower job satisfaction in the wire-mills, where teamworking was not a success. Findings indicated that the differences in employee well-being could be accounted for by contrasting levels of process inter-dependence in the two production areas. Teamworki…
The impact of technology characteristics and job control on worker mental health
Recent research suggests that the occurrence of operational problems in advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) places stressful demands on operators. Applying Karasek's demand–control model, we predict that two properties of operational problems, namely technological uncertainty and abstractness, interact with timing and method control to predict operator strain. The results failed to confirm ordinal effects for timing or method control, but sho…
Further evidence on some new measures of job control, cognitive demand and production responsibility
Current approaches to job design and job stress, and their application in the context of new manufacturing technologies and practices, call for new widely applicable measures of job properties. In response to this need, Jackson, Wall, Martin and Davids (1993) described the development of new scales of timing control, method control, monitoring demand, problem‐solving demand and production responsibility. This article provides further evidence con…
Factors Associated with Employment Status in Later Working Life
This article reports on factors affecting the withdrawal of older workers from the labour market associated with unemployment, premature retirement and retirement at 65 years of age. Longitudinal data from three interviews with 175 adult males are examined; and findings show a process of psychological withdrawal from the labour market reflecting changes in personal identity which occur prior to reaching the formal retirement age, most strongly fo…
Advanced manufacturing technology and work design
This paper introduces a theoretical framework to guide research into the psychological effects of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) on shopfloor operators. The framework has two main aspects. First, based on the emerging literature on the job content implications of AMT, it identifies four key constructs, namely: control, cognitive demand, production responsibility and social interaction. Second, by drawing on the more established job desig…
Unemployment and Mental Health
Within the context of the British labor market, 11 investigations into the mental health impact of unemployment are described. These reveal significant decrements for people of all ages as a result of moving into unemployment, and for middle‐aged men additional effects of continuing joblessness. Research into factors mediating the harmful impact of unemployment has covered time since job loss, employment commitment, social relationships, gender, …
Adapting to the unemployed role
Factors influencing the psychological impact of prolonged unemployment and of re-employment
Synopsis Six hundred and twenty-nine unemployed men were re-interviewed 9 months after initial measurement of their psychological health and commitment to the labour market. For those men remaining continuously unemployed between interviews, no further decrement was observed in mean General Health Questionnaire scores after 3 months without a job, but a significant deterioration was recorded for the sub-sample initially unemployed for less than 3…
An empirical study of occupational families in the youth labour market
This research aims at identifying job families for use in broadly based training for young people. A total of 455 job incumbents in the youth labour market were interviewed using the Job Components Inventory (JCI). The job sample was heterogeneous, reflecting a wide range of industries and job titles; some of these were skilled but mainly they were semi‐ and unskilled. The JCI covers the use of tools and equipment, physical and perceptual skills,…
Unemployment and risk of minor psychiatric disorder in young people
Synopsis Two age cohorts of young people were interviewed at times up to 21⁄2 years after leaving school to investigate the association between unemployment and risk of minor psychiatric morbidity, as assessed by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), taking into account differences due to sex, ethnic group and educational qualifications. Cross-sectional data are presented on 2767 interviews. The psychometric properties of the GHQ justified the …
An interactionist approach to measuring anxiety at work
This paper describes the development of a measure of work anxiety. The construction of the measure was guided by the interactionist position that behaviour is determined by situations in interaction with individual responses. In developing the measure it was also possible to test two hypotheses relating to interactional theory and a third hypothesis about whether previous experience of situations leads them to be seen as more, or less, threatenin…
Individual differences as moderators of reactions to job characteristics
This paper examines the status of higher‐order need strength as a moderator of the relationship between job characteristics and employees' attitudes towards their jobs. It is argued that previous empirical work has been deficient in two important respects: (a) the measurement of the moderator has not been sufficiently independent of the measurement of the other variables in question, thus allowing response consistency to account for the results; …
The use of the General Health Questionnaire as an indicator of mental health in occupational studies
This paper examines the psychometric properties of an existing measure of mental health, the GHQ‐12, as revealed in three studies involving employees in an engineering firm ( n = 659), recent school‐leavers ( n = 647), and unemployed men ( n = 92). The measure was shown to be psychometrically sound in all cases, with a Likert scoring method providing a more acceptable distribution of scores than the more commonly deployed ‘ GHQ score ’ for use in…
Employment, work involvement and mental health in less qualified young people
Seven months after school‐leaving 647 young people were interviewed. Path analysis was used to examine the predictors of unemployment and psychological well‐being. It was found that young people were at risk of being unemployed if they had an unemployed father, few or no qualifications, low work motivation, and if they were West Indian. Young people who were unemployed, from social class 4 and 5, or female, had poor mental health as measured by t…
Non‐verbal behaviour and the outcome of selection interviews
Non‐verbal behaviour (NVB) is an important component of the selection interview, yet it has received limited attention in the literature. In particular, little published research has examined NVB in real‐life interviews. A study is described in which 101 school‐leavers were interviewed by a four‐member panel for places on an engineering apprentice training scheme. The NVB of each candidate was categorized during the interview using a schedule of …
An evaluation of the Job Characteristics Model
This study explored the validity of the Job Characteristics Model within a job redesign context. The findings upon which the model is based (Hackman & Oldham, 1975) were closely replicated with an homogeneous group of shop‐floor employees. However, path analyses showed that the evidence, both for the present investigation and that reported by Hackman & Oldham, was not fully consistent with the model. The implications of the findings are discussed
Shiftwork and absence
In the literature on shiftwork there are many studies describing interesting and complex temporal variations in employee absence behaviour, though none have had the opportunity to unravel the independent effects of shift‐turn (mornings, afternoons and nights), days of the week (Sunday to Saturday), and position in the shift cycle (start, middle and end cycle). The independent effects of these variables and their interactions were the focus of a s…
The potential of cross‐lagged correlation analysis in field research
Some problems of investigating causal relationships when undertaking field research are outlined. The potential of cross‐lagged correlation analysis in this context is assessed by describing the technique, its underlying assumptions and its previous use in applied occupational research. A method for evaluating the technique using simulated data is described. Preliminary findings using this approach show that cross‐lagged correlation analysis is a…
Henry Miller, Emerson, and the Divided Self
N HENRY MILLER'S Tropic of Cancer an Emersonian epigraph announces the romanticized autobiography that would become the staple of Miller's art. These novels, Emerson asserts, will give way, by and by, to diaries or autobiographies-captivating books, if only a man knew how to choose among what he calls his experiences that which is really his experiences, and how to record truth truly.l Along with Whitman-In Whitman the whole American scene comes …
