Arbetsuppgifter, arbetsskador och upplevd arbetsmiljö: skiljer det sig mellan kvinnor och män på en könsneutral arbetsplats? : En tvärsnittsstudie från ett kontorslandskap 2016. Arbetsskador i förhållande till män och kvinnor

Lindberg, Mattias January 2017 (has links)
Background: Gender equaltiy and occupational injuries are an issue for the public health. Women are more often reported sick then men. There are some differences between the occupations you have and what injuries you developed. It is known that men and women performs a task different from eachother and that will expose them for different injuries. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relation between occupational injury and gender (Man and Woman) in a gender equality workplace. Methods: A group of 40 computerworkers, Men (N=16) and woman (N=24). They completed a questionare about their workenvironment and injuries. Analysis were about different variables crossing with gender. Results: You can see a difference between men and women between how much workload they take home. Women had a higher risk to take their workload home and continue to work at home. Conclusion: Although women had a higher risk to take their workload home, you can’t say that the gender was the factor but the level of stress was. So the higher level of stress that you experiencing the more was the risk of you taking home your work. / Syfte: Syftet med denna undersökning var att ta reda på förhållande mellan arbetsskador och kön (man och kvinna). Går det via en kartläggning av arbetsuppgifter på en könsneutral arbetsplats att beskriva och analysera förhållandet mellan arbetsskador och kön. Frågeställningar: Givet samma titel/yrke är arbetsuppgifterna samma mellan kvinnor och män? Om kvinnor och män har samma arbetsuppgifter, skiljer sig antalet arbetsskador mellan kvinnor och män? Om arbetsuppgifterna är samma för kvinnor och män, skiljer sig den upplevda arbetsmiljön mellan kvinnor och män Metod: Det var 40 stycken deltagare, män (N=16) och kvinnor (N=24) som hade arbetsuppgifter som dom sköter vid en dator. De har fått fylla i en enkät angående arbetsmiljö och arbetsskador. Resultaten från enkäten sammanställdes och analyserades med hjälp av SPSS för att kunnat hitta eventuella samband mellan arbetsskador och kön. Resultat: Det fanns inte signifikanta skillnader i arbetsskadorna och könen. Utan den skillnaden som uppstod var att kvinnor oftare tog med sig arbetet hem jämfört med männen. Men vid en regressionsanalys av flera oberoende variabler visade det sig att stress har en påverkan på hur ofta man tar med sig arbetet hem eller inte. Kön visade sig däremot inte vara en bidragande faktor till utfallet. Slutsats: Slutsatsen blev att det inte fanns någon signifikant skillnad på denna arbetsplats när det gäller arbetsskador och kön. Men att det finns en koppling mellan stress och huruvida man tar med sig arbetet hem.

A study of the relationship between work experience and occupational work ethic characteristics of baccalaureate nursing students.

Kegans, Loyd 05 1900 (has links)
The primary purpose of this study was to test the theory of experiential learning by measuring to what extent work experience predicts the work ethic characteristics of students in baccalaureate nursing programs at three regional universities in Texas, including Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Tarleton State University in Stephenville, and West Texas A&M University in Canyon. Work experience is the amount full-time or part-time on-the-job experience. Work ethic attributes are referred to as considerate, ambitious, dependable, and cooperative. Results generated in this study failed to reject the null hypotheses, which means that work experience, does not provide evidence of the ability to predict the development of work ethic characteristics in baccalaureate nursing students who participated in this research study. Knowledge generated in this study provided alternative directions for future research with respect to the relationship between work experiences and work ethic characteristics in nursing students. Such research may be useful to nursing educators and trainers in the design and delivery phases of the educational process for nurses.

For love or money : perceptions and conceptions of the work ethic held by a group of preservice teachers in Queensland

Mailler, Emma Cornelia January 2006 (has links)
The work ethic has been a popular topic for public comment and for research in the social sciences. The work ethic is usually understood to embody the values, beliefs and principles an individual has in relation to work. Work is an important dimension of human experience. Governments and employers are particularly interested in increasing productivity and competitiveness in connection with work and the work ethic is perceived as an important catalyst in achieving these goals. The main point of reference for discussion about the work ethic in the past century has been Max Weber's Protestant ethic thesis. Weber's thesis has attracted much criticism over the years and contemporary writers have suggested that alternative conceptions of the work ethic do exist. Despite widespread agreement that this is the case, consensus has not yet been reached on how such conceptions should be defined or how they may manifest in an individual. The majority of research on the work ethic has been limited to the collection of quantitative data using one of several survey instruments that are available. Fewer studies have collected data on the work ethic using a qualitative approach and yet, this is exactly what is required to achieve progress in identifying the range of conceptions that may exist. This study occurs in the context of teacher education and the work ethic has relevance to teachers and teacher educators for several reasons. Teachers, through the explicit and hidden curriculum they provide, have some responsibility for inculcating a work ethic in their students. It follows that it is important to understand the work ethic of teachers on this basis alone. A most logical starting place for accomplishing this task is during their career preparation. This study advocates explicit examination of preservice teachers' conceptions of the work ethic and exploration of how this might affect their career and curriculum decision making processes. This research is primarily intended to inform teacher educators who wish to pay attention to these things in their programs, along with researchers from other disciplines who are interested in the work ethic. Inspired by a pragmatic philosophy, this study utilised a mixed method research design to investigate the conceptions of the work ethic held by a group of preservice teachers studying in Brisbane, the capital city of the state of Queensland, Australia. Priority was given to the first phase of the research, which was to identify the qualitative conceptions of the work ethic held by the preservice teachers. The second quantitative phase was intended to complement and expand those findings by demonstrating that an established instrument in the measurement of work ethic could be used to profile conceptions of the work ethic held by an individual. The first phase of the research adopted a phenomenographic approach to identify nine conceptions of the work ethic held by a group of 22 preservice teachers. A courtship metaphor was used to characterise each of the nine conceptions which were labelled as Honeymoon, Monogamist, Serial Monogamist, Arranged Marriage, Celibate, Obsession, One-night Stand, Hedonist and Polyamorist. The second phase of the research used quantitative techniques involving factor analysis and linear modelling to link anonymous responses from 411 preservice teachers to the Occupational Work Ethic Inventory (OWEI) with the nine conceptions identified in the first phase of the research. It was found that the OWEI could be used to profile an individual's orientation to the work ethic conceptions that were defined. This research responded to calls in the literature for a better understanding of the characteristics of the people who choose to become teachers. It also suggested ways in which teacher education could be improved to prepare preservice teachers better through socialisation practices and the university curriculum. This study confirms that there are qualitatively different conceptions of the work ethic that may provide an alternative to the traditional Weberian conception. A technique is proposed to associate OWEI responses with the model of nine work ethic conceptions. Suggestions are also made with respect to potential improvement of the OWEI.
