Abstract

Drawing on extreme work and transactional stress literature streams; this paper investigates the mechanisms used by public sector nurses to cope with their extreme work conditions in the fragile state context of Egypt. Our findings, which are based on 24 qualitative interviews, show that, to cope with their extreme job duties, nurses engage in the following four strategies – reassertion of professionalism, submission and fatalism, cronyism, and temporalism. Moreover, we found that the low availability of social, physical, and psychological resources and the perceived inadequate provision of entitlements also played a role in this context. Finally, our study is among the first to link the fragile state environment with extreme work conditions in healthcare sector while simultaneously highlighting the related coping mechanisms.

Abstract

Digital technologies are transforming workforce management and impacting practically every aspect of organisations. The need for digital transformation (DT), that is, the ability to develop digital capabilities aligned with workforce needs, is high on the agenda to tackle volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous challenges in operations research. Surprisingly, little is known about digital transformation in this context that creates and captures value. Thus, this study shows how mapping workforce management opportunities and challenges within the DT environment can help operations thrive in the digital world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

23. Cautions for mindfulness research in organisations: Taking stock and moving forward

Author

Roche, Maree, Tuckey, Michelle R., Hülsheger, Ute R., Kelloway, E. Kevin, Cooper, Sir Cary, RS: FPN WSP I, and Section Work & Organisational Psychology

Abstract

We highlight current and future issues related to mindfulness at work in order to guide research and development in this field, moving forward. Drawing on research, we outlined issues in the lack of clarity of definition and use of mindfulness as a construct resulting in multiple ways of measuring and conceptualising the phenomena. Secondly, we highlight issues in interventions at work including the efficacy of mindfulness training and interventions and suggest caution in adapting interventions from clinical fields to work psychology. Finally, we draw on issues related to the workplace itself as an antecedent to mindfulness at work. As the workplace is a unique environment for mindfulness research, we urge for more research into the antecedents of mindfulness at work, such as leadership and work design that create an environment for employees to be mindful. While mounting evidence is that mindfulness at work has tremendous value for individuals and organisations, we suggest that mindfulness should be researched with clarity and caution. This will ensure, by using evidenced-based judgements, we can continue to advocate for the development of mindfulness at work, and positive outcomes that we believe mindfulness offers.

27. Le petit manuel de la gestion de crise : 70 situations critiques, 70 solutions pratiques

Author

Hughes, Rick, Kinder, Andrew, Cooper, Sir Cary L., Hughes, Rick, Hughes, Rick, Kinder, Andrew, Cooper, Sir Cary L., and Hughes, Rick

Abstract

Vous vous sentez submergé ? Vous connaissez une période de crise dans votre vie ?Nous connaissons tous des périodes difficiles au cours de notre vie : le deuil et les changements, la pression et le stress, les moments d’anxiété, de dépression et de panique, des relations difficiles au travail ou à la maison… Il peut alors nous arriver de nous sentir submergés. Le Petit Manuel de la gestion de crise, rédigé par trois spécialistes en coaching personnel et professionnel, analyse les situations de crise les plus courantes et offre de réelles solutions pour les surmonter la tête haute.Ce manuel de développement personnel et professionnel est à mettre entre toutes les mains; il offre des solutions efficaces à un panel de situations quotidiennes courantes !EXTRAITDans l’exercice de nos fonctions, nous passons un « contrat psychologique » ; une relation réciproque s’établit entre nous (le travailleur) et l’entreprise. En échange du travail accompli, ou outputs, nous sommes récompensés par une rémunération et des avantages – les inputs. En théorie, c’est aussi simple que ça… mais dans la pratique, les exigences qui nous sont imposées peuvent être totalement disproportionnées par rapport à notre capacité à les satisfaire.Différents facteurs s’accumulent et finissent par nous submerger : le manque de personnel, les impératifs économiques et les délais serrés. Le malaise peut aussi s’installer lorsque nous sommes sous-employés, surqualifiés ou que notre emploi ne nous confronte pas à des défis stimulants. Que vous soyez débordé ou sous-employé, il est nécessaire d’adopter une approche positive.À PROPOS DES AUTEURSRick Hughes a été conseiller, coach, chef de clinique, consultant post-traumatique et médiateur en entreprise pendant plus de 20 ans. Auparavant conseiller principal pour la British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, spécialisé dans les questions relatives au milieu professionnel, il dirige aujourd’hui le service de conseil de l’université d’Aberdeen.
