BACKGROUND: Burnout among newly licensed registered nurses is a prevalent healthcare issue. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factors that reduce nurse burnout: workload, job interference with home life, having friendly co-workers, and inspirational motivation. METHODS: Secondary data from Kovner et al.’s 2006–2015 longitudinal survey was used to conduct a factor analysis. Kovner et al. surveyed 1,706 newly licensed nurses who received their nursing licenses in 2002 in the United States. The factor analysis identified the relationships between several questions about burnout symptoms and organizational factors. RESULTS: Supervisors inspiring the best in their employees, job satisfaction, and nurses’ job expectations matching their actual job duties were found to be related. Heavy workloads, nervousness, mood swings, irritability, and feeling on edge were also related. Additionally, job’s interference with home life and friendly co-workers were unrelated. CONCLUSIONS: Burnout can be mitigated by lessening workloads, supporting nurses, and ensuring nurses’ job expectations are met. Further research is needed to explain why some factors, such as having friendly co-workers, did not appear to influence burnout symptoms.

BACKGROUND: Amid the mounting COVID-19 situation, we take up the opportunity to examine micro-level CSR practices as an internal strategic approach for employees’ engagement to assist organizational resiliency. Past research had documented the Matthew effects of engaged employees and the fatal threat of disengaged employees. However, little is known to the precise outcome of job engagement and organizational engagement. OBJECTIVE: This study endeavors to offer comprehensive findings on job engagement and organizational engagement through the antecedent of micro-level CSR practices. Additionally, job engagement was modelled as the mediator between micro-level CSR practices and organizational engagement. Stakeholder Theory, Social Exchange Theory and Engagement Theory guided the development of the hypotheses. METHODS: Quantitative judgmental sampling technique was employed to reach out to the targeted respondents. A total of 336 responses was collected for statistical analysis facilitated by partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. RESULTS: The study revealed that employees’ involvement and working environment are positively influencing job engagement and organizational engagement while the others micro-level CSR practices demonstrated mixed results. Also, job engagement was found to mediate the relationships between the four dimensions of micro-level CSR practices (i.e., employees’ involvement, employees’ empowerment, work-life balance and working environment) and organizational engagement. CONCLUSIONS: Micro-level CSR practices positively affecting job engagement and organizational engagement with different degree of influences. Organizations could consider implementing micro-level CSR practices for enhanced job engagement and organizational engagement to ease the challenging moment during uncertainty.

The functioning of the sibling subsystem is often overlooked in research on attachment relationships, despite its both threatening and protective potential. Taking a multi-case approach, this study sought to build theory regarding how the mother–child relationship and the mother’s view of each of her children impact the sibling relationship. Three families were assessed using the Meaning of the Child Interview, a method of analysing parental discourse in a semi-structured interview to understand the parent–child relationship, and a sibling free-play procedure. The study illustrated how in more struggling relationships, the child represented a particular threat or challenge to the mother, and how the child’s accommodation to this influenced the dynamics of the sibling relationship. The sibling may be recruited to care for their sibling to ease demands on their mother, serve as an ally with their mother against their sibling, or siblings may support each other to compensate for what is lacking in the child–parent relationship. This was further influenced by wider systemic challenges to both children and mother, such as parental conflict or settling in a new country.

The aim of this study was to understand how women describe their relationship with their young son(s) in a context of and following intimate partner violence. Face-to-face interviews with eight women were conducted. The analysis suggested that women constructed violence as being a cycle and their relationship with their son was impacted by this in multiple ways. The paper critically draws on attachment, family systems and trauma literature to consider the data in context, and offers a range of clinical implications for practice, training and supervision.

BACKGROUND: Research has long shown that there is a need for better tourism education. Previous research has mainly focused on management’s perceptions of the need for future competencies in tourism, while employees’ perceptions in general have not been properly investigated. OBJECTIVE: This paper identifies tourism employees’ perceptions of the competencies needed in the tourism industry in the future. METHODS: Based on a survey questionnaire, we analysed the attitudes of 226 tourism employees regarding the competencies they estimate they will need in the future. RESULTS: According to the employees, the most important competencies are a high level of hospitality, the ability to work with people, cooperation with stakeholders and emotional intelligence. In contrast, digital literacy is rated as less important, indicating that employees expect tourism to continue to be primarily a ‘human contact’ industry. We found statistically significant differences in respondents’ assessments in relation to their education, hierarchical position, age and area of work in tourism, but not in relation to their gender. CONCLUSIONS: The findings have practical value for tourism curriculum and training developers at all levels of education, and also provide important details with regard to the need for future research.

BACKGROUND: Digitalization widely connected the MNCs and urban consumers. Though not much efforts were made to reach the rural markets, the Indian government must recognize the problems and challenges to digitally connect such rural consumers. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to highlight the problems and challenges that the Indian rural markets are currently undergoing through digital transformation and also discusses the possible avenues for rural development and growth of the national economy. METHODS: This paper studies the extant literature on the Indian rural market and understands its potential resources for which the Indian government is leveraging efforts for the national wide digitalization. The study conducted focused group discussion (FGD) with 23 industrial digital marketing experts who are working in rural areas. RESULTS: The findings illustrated literacy rate, resources non-availability, obsolete traditions and culture, unemployment, low income, crime and violence as problems; communication barriers, lack of government coordination, inadequate media coverage, lack of infrastructure, varying purchasing decisions as challenges; easiness through ICT, penetrating into export-import markets, expanding consumer markets, increase in employment as exciting opportunities. CONCLUSIONS: This research highlights the most potential barriers of rural markets and suggests a steady approach of digitalization to bring the rural consumers closer to the entrepreneurs.

OBJECTIVE: Drawing on Edgar Schein’s cultural model and the social identity theory, this study attempts to establish an empirical relationship between organizational culture and employer brandwith mediation of organizational trust and moderation of employer social media branding. METHODS: The study, being quantitative in nature, used survey method to collect data from 106 employees of public sector universities of Pakistan. A conceptual framework was developed where we tested direct relationship between culture and brand using linear regression. The mediating role of trust and moderation of social media branding were tested with Jamovi statistics. RESULTS: The results suggest that organizational culture has a significant positive relationship with employer brand. Moreover, organizational trust mediates this relationship and employer social media branding emerged as a moderator. CONCLUSION: The study has multidimensional theoretical and practical contributions. It recommends that organizations should use multi-layered culture as an essential tool to develop and improve their employer brand, which can prove a source of attracting quality talent in the modern talent intensive market. This way, organizations can prove themselves as the best places to work. Further, organizations can strengthen their employer brand by improving the trust level between management and employees, and they can harness the matchless power of modern social media for their employer branding activities.

BACKGROUND: Poverty alleviation is a critical issue for national and international development goals. Data on different poverty-reduction measures are eagerly sought by policymakers. Analytical data on the role of migration in poverty alleviation is one of them. OBJECTIVES: This study is designed to investigate the prevalence of multidimensional poverty and its determinants in connection to rural-urban migration. METHODS: Primary data was collected from 384 randomly selected rural households and analyzed using econometric models. RESULTS: Non-migrant and migrant-sending households had adjusted headcount ratios of 19.8% and 10.5%, respectively. Poor living conditions were identified in 43.5% of non-migrant households and 25.6% of migrant-sending households, respectively. Non-migrant households and migrant-sending households contributed 70.5% and 29.5%, respectively, to the entire sample’s adjusted headcount ratio. According to the findings, household size, the number of migrants per household, the education level of the household head and livestock ownership all has a significant effect on households’ multidimensional poverty. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate that rural-urban migration helps poverty reduction in the region. Therefore, proper consideration should be given to maximizing the benefit of migration on the long-term reduction of multidimensional poverty through productive remittance investment and assisting households to improve their productive capacity.
