Perceptions, Emotions and Motivations of Gig Workers: Insights from Malaysia

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed work arrangements and increased worldwide unemployment. Increasingly, many people have turned to gig work for income. However, low-skilled gig workers, such as food delivery personnel and ride-hailing drivers, are vulnerable to a plethora of disadvantageous working conditions, such as unstable income, lack of medical insurance, and heavy workload. Working remotely outside the workplace has also led to severe loneliness and isolation. Survey results from 100 gig-workers indicated that receiving social support and positive emotion improved job performance and satisfaction. Hence, we propose a peer-mentor supporting system. This paper primarily contributes to improving public awareness about the disadvantageous situations of gig workers. By examining the gig workers' perceptions, emotions, and motivations, this paper contributes to integrating job satisfaction and their inner work-life system. We suggest organizations broadcast gig workers' contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which improved their sense of responsibility and intrinsic motivation. © 2022 IEEE.

Emotional Labor Behavior and Compassion Fatigue in Nurses Caring for Individuals with COVID-19: A descriptive Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Nurses, who constitute the vast majority of the health sector and are an important part of the sector, have continued to provide care during uncertainties such as increased workload during the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainty about the mechanism of the virus, difficult decisions, inadequate supply of protective equipment, fear of getting infected and infecting their relatives, witnessing the deaths of their patients, and meeting the complex needs of patients. Aims: This study was carried out to determine the emotional labor behavior and compassion fatigue of nurses who cared for individuals with COVID-19 during the pandemic, determine the factors affecting these two concepts, and examine the relationship between these concepts. Method: This research used a descriptive cross-sectional study design. Reporting of this study has been verified in accordance with the STROBE checklist. This study was carried out in hospitals in Turkey who were reached through online surveys between July and August 2020. The sample group consisted of 180 nurses who were directly involved in COVID-19 patient care. Research data were collected using a personal information form, the Emotional Labor Behavior Scale for Nurses, and the Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale. The participating nurses completed the online survey forms. Results: In-depth and sincere behavior scores of nurses under the age of 30 were significantly higher than nurses aged 30 and over, and female nurses' compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and professional burnout scores were significantly higher than male nurses' scores (p<0.05). The compassion fatigue and its subdimension scores of the nurses who cared for individuals with COVID-19 longer than three months were significantly higher than those who cared for a shorter time (p<0.05). Although there was no significant difference between the total scale and sub-dimension scores of the nurses diagnosed with COVID-19, the secondary trauma score of those who had COVID-19 was significantly higher than those who did not (p<0.05). A negative, significant, and very weak relationship was found between superficial behavior and compassion fatigue and its sub-dimensions (p<0.05). Conclusions: Young nurses reflected their feelings deeply and sincerely. Female nurses and nurses who cared for individuals with COVID-19 longer experienced more compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and professional burnout. As the nurses' level of superficial behavior increased, compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and occupational burnout decreased.

Stay home, save lives: Characterizing sickness presenteeism and motives among healthcare personnel in the COVID-19 pandemic

Background: Working while ill, or presenteeism, has been documented at substantial levels among healthcare personnel (HCP) along with its consequences for both patient and HCP safety. Limited literature has been published on HCP presenteeism during the COVID-19 pandemic, and specific motivations for this behavior are not well described. Understanding both individual and systemic factors that contribute to presenteeism is key to reducing respiratory illness transmission in the healthcare setting. We characterized the frequency of and motivations for presenteeism in the workforce of a large academic medical center during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: We deployed a voluntary, anonymous electronic survey to HCP at University of North Carolina (UNC) Medical Center in December 2021, which was approved by the UNC Institutional Review Board. We received 591 responses recruited through employee newsletters. Respondents recounted their frequency of presenteeism since March 2020, defined as coming to work feeling feverish plus cough and/or sore throat. In total, 24.6% reported presenteeism at least once, with 8.1% reporting twice and 5.3% 3 or more times. Asking more generally about any symptoms while working, the following were most common: headache (26%), sinus congestion (20%), sore throat (13%), cough (13%), and muscle aches (9.3%). Results: Motivations for presenteeism fell broadly into 4 categories: (1) perception of low risk for COVID-19 infection, (2) concerns about workplace culture and operations, (3) issues with sick leave, and (4) concerns about employment record and status. Among HCP reporting at least 1 instance, the most common motivations for presenteeism included feeling low risk for COVID-19 infection due to mild symptoms (59.9%), being vaccinated (50.6%), avoiding increasing colleagues' workload (48.3%), avoiding employment record impact (39.6%), and saving sick days for other purposes (37.9%). Asked to identify a primary motivation, 40.3% reported feeling low risk for COVID-19 infection due to mild symptoms or vaccination, 21.2% reported a workplace culture issue (ie, increasing colleague workload, perception of weakness, responsibility for patients), 20.6% reported sick leave availability and use (including difficulty finding coverage) and 17.8% reported employment record ramifications including termination. Conclusions: This survey coincided with 2the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 ο (omicron) variant locally, and as such, risk perceptions and motivations for presenteeism may have changed. Responses were self-reported and generalizability is limited. Still, these results highlight the importance of risk messaging and demonstrate the many factors to be considered as potential presenteeism motivators. Mitigating these drivers is particularly critical during high-risk times such as pandemics or seasonal peaks of respiratory illness.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Sosiaali- ja terveysalan ammattilaisten kasautuva koronakuorma: kyselytutkimus Suomen tilanteesta syksyllä 2020

Tutkimuksen tarkoitus: Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata, minkälaisia työhön liittyviä muutoksia sosiaali- ja terveysalan henkilöstölle on koronapandemian myötä tullut ja missä määrin ne ovat kasautuneet samoille työntekijäryhmille. Aineisto ja menetelmät: Aineistona on syksyllä 2020 Suomesta kerätty sosiaali- ja terveysalan työntekijöistä koostuva kyselyaineisto (N=22 528, vastausprosentti 67). Analysoinnissa käytettiin kuvailevia analyysimenetelmiä (prosenttijakaumia ja ristiintaulukointia). Tulokset: Noin kolmannes sosiaali- ja terveysalan henkilöstöstä kokee työmääränsä kasvaneen ja pelänneensä terveytensä puolesta. Lisäksi noin puolet on joutunut käyttämään suojavarusteita ja joutuneensa opettelemaan uusia tietoja ja taitoja. Monet näistä vaikutuksista kasautuvat nuorille, työntekijäasemassa toimiville ja tietyille ammattiryhmille: röntgenhoitajille, sairaanhoitajille, laboratoriohoitajille ja laboranteille, lähi-ja perushoitajille. Päätelmät: Koronakuorma kasautuu tietyille työntekijäryhmille. Jatkossa näiden ryhmien työssäjaksamista ja työhyvinvointia tulee tukea ja toimenpiteitä kohdentaa kyseisille ryhmille. Erityisesti työntekijöiden palautumiseen tulee kiinnittää huomiota sekä tarjota sosiaalista tukea.Alternate :The purpose of the study: The purpose of the study was to describe what kind of work-related changes have occurred among social and health care personnel during the corona pandemic and to what extent these have accumulated to same working groups. Data and methods: We use survey data of Finnish social and health care employees collected in autumn 2020 (N=22 528, response rate 67%). Descriptive statistics (percent distributions and crosstabulations) were used to analyze data. Results: Approximately one third of social and health care employees feel that their workload has increased because of Covid-19 pandemic, and they have feared for the sake of their own health. Furthermore, half of them has had to use protective equipment and to acquire new knowledge and skills. Many of these effects accumulate to young workers, those in employee position and to certain occupational groups: radiologists, nurses, laboratory nurses and laboratory assistants and primary care nurses. Conclusions: Corona burden accumulates to certain working groups. In the future there is need to pay attention to the resilience and well-being of these groups and target actions for them. Especially recovery of these employees needs attention and they should be offered social support.

The Role of Educators in Supporting the Mental Well-being of Postgraduate Pharmacist Distance Learners

Frontline health care professionals have experienced rapid changes to workloads and work-related pressures during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in anxiety, depression, and mental health stressors. For working professionals engaged in postgraduate pharmacy distance learning, access to educators was seen as a means to relay some of these stories and offload the stress caused by these unprecedented circumstances. The postgraduate pharmacy education team at De Montfort University felt a moral responsibility to provide extra support and extended their roles toward offering greater well-being support. In this commentary, we detail the emergence of this new role and offer insights into how this was fashioned and its significance for catering to the mental health needs of pharmacists. This role has largely gone undetected, and research is needed to investigate the acceptability and feasibility of such a model and its plausibility and sustainability in the long-term.

Enhancing Employee Resilience: Certified Public Accountant

[...]enhancing employee resilience levels can have a powerful protective effect against three common causes of job stress: role overload, role conflict, and role ambiguity. Both of these situations are expected to become more frequent and intense as the world faces challenges presented by the digital age, natural disasters related to global climate change, and economic disruptions such as the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. * Role conflict arises when employees are given incompatible (or contradictory) instructions. Research by Ronald Jelinek and Kate Jelinek ("Auditors Gone Wild: The Other Problem in Public Accounting," Business Horizons, vol. 51, pp. 223233, 2008) shows that auditors are particularly prone to role ambiguity arising from shortages of experienced staff, internal control auditing procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and regulations related to highly publicized accounting scandals (e.g., Dodd-Frank). The importance of stress arousal should not be overlooked, however, as each of its reported relationships with the three organizational outcomes were also statistically significant. [...]though not illustrated graphically, role conflict, role ambiguity, and

By failing older people we perpetuate the health service crisis

[...]there can be improvements in clinical practice and processes, but the clear sense from voices at the front line of the health service is of a systemwide collapse. Resolving the NHS crisis, therefore, requires a sharp focus on care for older people (doi:10.1136/bmj.p97).14 And that focus involves a greater deal of complexity than simply providing an exit route from hospital care (doi:10.1136/bmj.p83).15 The numbers here do speak for themselves.

Concerns regarding COVID-19 outbreak among healthcare workers

Since the inception of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), there has been immense stress and concerns among the health care workers (HCWs). This has led to exposure of HCWs as well as their families to unprecedented levels of risk. In India, there is paucity of data on the concerns regarding COVID-19 outbreak among HCWs. Therefore, a descriptive study was undertaken among the HCWs in a secondary hospital, Odisha, India. The study included 152 subjects. A self- administered questionnaire was used to assess the concerns. The results revealed that the HCWs were confident enough of working in the hospital and didn't want to opt for a new job (95%). Majority of the subjects (94%) were confident of telling others about the nature of their job, while 64% of them accepted that there is an element of risk in their job. These concerns of the HCWs may affect their overall work effectiveness and the productivity especially during the pandemic and should be taken into consideration and addressed at the earliest for desired outcome of the institution.

Academic burnout among Open Distance e-Learning students during the COVID-19 pandemic

The transition to online learning at a time of intensive efforts to ensure that the academic project continued under the trying conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic placed intense pressure on both staff and students, increasing their workload. The increased workload placed students at a risk of burnout. While most burnout research focuses on the workplace, there is growing recognition that study activities can have a similar impact on students. The study drew on the conceptualisation of various authors on burnout which is conceived as three subdomains, namely, emotional exhaustion, cynicism and feelings of low accomplishment or inefficacy. This study made use of a cross-sectional survey design. The sample for the study was drawn from students at an Open Distance e-Learning (ODeL) institution in South Africa using a census sampling approach. The findings of this study show relatively low levels of burnout and high levels of study engagement among respondents. This is despite most respondents reporting being employed while studying. Furthermore, the relationship between dropout intention and burnout was weak but significant. Further areas of research in this field could include students from contact institutions, or a focus on postgraduate students who are employed while studying or explore gender differences among students in different fields of study.

Evaluating a desire to telework model: The role of perceived quality of life, workload, telework experience and organisational telework support

Orientation: Beyond the motivation paradigm that underpins most telework research, the meaning paradigm offers a complementary vantage point to appreciate employees' desires in the face of emerging threats to the traditional workplace. Research purpose: The research developed and tested a multilevel moderated mediation model to explain the desire to telework. Motivation for the study: A high-performance culture based on leadership excellence dictates that organisations keep a pulse and act on desires of their employees, an urgent priority given the pandemic-induced structural changes to the traditional workplace. Research design or approach and method: Data were collected from a non-probability sample of 185 non-governmental sector employees. Mplus v8 was used to test the multilevel moderated mediation model. Main findings: The mediated relationship between quality of life and the desire to telework was significantly influenced by perceptions of workload and organisational support for telework. Organisational telework support had a compensatory effect on workload. There were significant differences in the desire to telework by gender, level and location of work. Practical and managerial implications: Despite the intensification and extensification of work characterising teleworking environments, the results affirm a growing desire to utilise telework opportunities as circumstances permit. Ensuring access to and availability of appropriate telework resources is paramount to satisfying this desire. Contribution or value-add: Insights on employee desires and the associated influence levers offer leadership teams an opportunity to translate them into dedicated actions that enhance the employee experience, and by extension, create thriving organisations.

Poor housing and dark satanic mills

Articles in The BMJ this week featuring mills and housing may seem like a throwback, but the problems they raise, from science to social welfare, are very contemporary. The impact of the cost of living crisis is clear for health professionals to see, and, where once poor laws offered relief to people who were disadvantaged, recent law making and spending plans will not do enough for people feeling the “consequences of creaking public services in a nation getting poorer” (doi:10.1136/bmj.o2837).1

ABA SGLAID Public Defense Workload Studies Reveal Systems in Crisis

In early 2022, the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigent Defense (ABA SCLAID), together with consulting firm Moss Adams LLP, released two reports on public defender workloads-one on Oregon, the other on New Mexico. To do this, OPDS contracts with providers of different types-public defender offices, law firms, consortia, nonprofit organizations, and individual attorneys. Or, a Chief Public Defender Bennet Baur stated in a blog post for the National Association for Public Defense, "each legal team member is straining under logistic and emotional weight three times what they can sustainably and ethically hold." For each of these open cases, a public defender must, at a minimum, regularly communicate with each client, continually seek to review and address ongoing detention and/or release conditions, prepare for and attend status hearings, and seek to keep track of witnesses and other critical evidence. The public defender in Gainesville, Florida, put it bluntly during a recent legislative session during which both public defenders and state attorneys were seeking salary increases: "We are in crisis.

THE MODERATING ROLE OF ORGANISATIONAL SUPPORT TOWARDS ACHIEVING A GOOD WORK-LIFE BALANCE IN THE NEW NORMAL: A MALAYSIAN LECTURERS' PERSPECTIVE

This study aims to examine the role of organisational support as a moderator in the relationship between emotional intelligence, job engagement, and the work-life balance of Malaysian lecturers. A quantitative approach with a structured questionnaire was used for data collection and it was distributed to the randomly selected population of lecturers via their respective emails. The sample of this study consisted of 132 lecturers from public and private universities in Malaysia. Descriptive statistics and statistical inference were conversant in analysing the correlation and multiple regression using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.0. The finding concludes that an increase in emotional intelligence and job engagement further increases the ability of the lecturer to achieve a good work-life balance. The results also indicate that organisational support does not affect the relationship between emotional intelligence, job engagement, and work-life balance. Besides, the study failed to find the influence of organisational support as a moderator on the work-life balance among lecturers in Malaysia. The implication of the study is crucial for institutions and management to be alert to the situational needs of the lecturers to ensure work and life expectations are optimised without ignoring other variables.

Proposal of One-Sided of a Sheet Diagonal Pull-up Type Body Postural Change Device for Nursing Care

In this paper, a novel mechanism one-sided of a sheet diagonal pull-up type body postural rotation device for nursing care was proposed and evaluated. Currently, the heavy workload of the nursing is harming the health of nurses. Because nurses are physically demanding, it is estimated that more than 80% of nurses have experienced their back pain. The main cause of the lower back pain is said that "repositioning/moving on bed". Recently, due to the influence of the new corona virus, the chances of changing the position by prone position therapy have increased, and the burden on nurses has increased. In our method, the sheet laid under the sleeping patient is pulled-up diagonally by using the mechanism of moving a pulley with a linear actuator. As a result, the pulley is moved horizontally and the rope is pulled up at the same time, enabling diagonal pulling up process. A 98 N plastic box (on behalf of the subject) is laid on the cotton sheet, and the cotton sheet is pulled up by the proposed device. (1) By using 1500 N linear actuator, the subject (plastic box) laid angle was able to change 0 deg to 35 deg during 0.5 m liner actuator movement. By increasing the number of pulleys to two, the subject (plastic box) laid angle was able to change 0 deg to 100 deg. (2) By comparing between one-sided of the sheet diagonal pull-up and the vertical pull-up (so-called "lift"), the subject was repeatedly slipped off from the sheet, and became an unstable load cell force waveform. The proposed system could change body postural rotation by using a novel mechanism of the sheet one-sided diagonal pull-up mechanism, which uses the linear actuator to move pulleys. It has the potential to build a new nursing method that reduces the burden by mechanizing the heavy work of re-positioning/moving process on bed. © 2022 IEEE.

Editorial

The sense of risk associated with managing a workload which feels unsafe, of offering only the essential cares, and of working with a reduced workload as a result of sickness and low base numbers creates a tense and reactive workforce. If the resource is in terms of security systems or services, the input in terms of cost, staff numbers, and training to achieve meaningful improvement is again a significant consideration, and one that under our new health system should be addressed at a national level, to ensure equity across services. The role of security services and their interaction with the ED alongside the use of code responses are outlined in the cases for Middlemore and Taranaki Base hospital EDs - all providing additional ideas and opportunities to consider.

Through Thick and Thin: Lower Secondary School Students' Barriers to Learning under Covid-19 Conditions

[...]as noted by the Human Rights Council of the United Na- tions (2020), under Covid-19 pandemic conditions 'students with disabilities are facing barriers on account of the absence of required equipment, access to the internet, accessible materials and support necessary to permit them to follow online school programmes. [...]many students with disabilities are being left behind, particularly students with intellectual disabilities' (p. 6). [...]the focus of the present article is on how the pandemic has affected different students, what learning barriers they have faced, and how the school can help overcome these learning barriers. [...]the results of the research and a discussion are provided on the basis of the performed inductive thematic analysis.
