It is no longer the case that when the working day is over people switch off, rather it is when people go home and remain connected. In a culture where people are always connected via information and communication technology (ICT) the line between work and life has blurred. The present study investigated the relationship between ICT and occupational burnout with the mediating role of recovery experiences and their importance in the relationship. The study was conducted in Southern Sweden in Växjö.The study included 101 participants both male (N=53) and female (N=48) from public and private sectors where participants used ICT on a regular basis to perform job-related tasks. Data was collected using a self-reported web-based questionnaire. Results of the study revealed that there is no significant correlation between ICT and occupational burnout. However, it was found that there is a significant negative correlation between ICT and recovery experiences and a strong significant negative correlation between ICT and recovery experiences and occupational burnout. It was concluded that occupational burnout results from insufficient recovery from work-related stressors and not the stress itself.

2	A tale of two utopias: Work in a post-growth world Mair, Simon, Druckman, A., Jackson, T. 11 December 2020 (has links) Yes / In this paper, we aim to contribute to the literature on post-growth futures. Modern imaginings of the future are constrained by the assumptions of growth-based capitalism. To escape these assumptions we turn to utopian fiction. We explore depictions of work in Cokaygne, a utopian tradition dating back to the 12th century, and William Morris's 19th century News from Nowhere. Cokaygne is a land of excessive consumption without work, while in News from Nowhere work is the route to the good life. These competing notions provide inspiration for a post-growth vision of work. We argue that biophysical and social dynamics mean that in a post-growth economy we are likely to have to be less productive and work more. But, this can be a utopian vision. By breaking the link between work and consumption at the level of the individual, we can remove some of the coercion in work. This would free us to do jobs that contribute to the social good, rather than generate exchange value, and empower us to fight for good work. Finally, we draw on eco-feminist analyses of capitalism to argue that by challenging labour productivity growth we can also challenge wider forces of oppression.

Tengström, Camilla, Sundkvist, Katarina January 2024 (has links) Sammanfattning Bakgrund Hem- och konsumentkunskap är grundskolans minsta ämne. Hur reglerad arbetstid planeras påverkar lärarens arbetsbelastning. Ämnets status och motsättningar i förhållandet mellan tid och innehåll i ämnet påverkar lärarnas förutsättningar. Syfte Syftet med studien var att undersöka lärares upplevelser kring den reglerade arbetstidens påverkan på undervisningen i hem- och konsumentkunskap. Hur upplever lärare de förutsättningar den reglerade arbetstiden skapar för att bedriva undervisning i hem- och konsumentkunskap? Metod Kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer genomfördes med åtta lärare i hem- och konsumentkunskap. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes som metod för analysen. Resultat Lärare upplevde tidsbrist och behövde prioritera och delegera för att hantera sin arbetsbelastning. Lärarna upplevde att skolledningens utformning av den reglerade arbetstiden begränsade möjlighet till påverkan. Kort tid mellan lektioner skapade svårigheter. Slutsats Hem- och konsumentkunskapslärare behöver minst 15 minuters rast mellan alla sina lektioner. Skolledningens brist på förståelse för ämnet skapar begränsningar genom den reglerade arbetstiden. Årskursernas placering i schemat minskar lärarnas arbetsbelastning och kan minska användandet av lektionstid för förberedelser och efterarbete.

As we follow along their journeys, questions arise. How does time move when it is no longer a commodity? What is design in the age of rampant robotics? How do we define creativity? What is wasted potential, and is it possible to be a failure? Most importantly, can fiction teach us anything about reality? work post-work creativity automation commodification de-commodification marxism UBI universal basic income communism posthumanism fiction artefacts future history ai artificial intelligence graphic design design self-design CRISPR-cas9 unemployment capitalism postcapitalism anthropocene Design Design
5	UNIVERSAL BASIC OPRESSION / UNIVERSAL BASIC OPRESSION Růžičková, Martina January 2017 (has links) Master's thesis Polyamory Design Unit (PDU) explores the possibilities of collaboration between experts being active in fine arts, product design, graphic design, architecture and philosophy in order to create a speculative future scenario. Together with Jana Trundova, Simon Barak, Ondrej Mohyla and Lukas Likavcan, I create the concept and the presentation structure for a housing complex, which is designed for polyamoric coexistence of human and non-human entities. Such a coexistence is made possible by full automation of work and global implementation of universal basic income. These initial parameters constitute a big emancipatory potential, that could change present meaning of the concept of polyamory and thus redefine networks of relations in bigger scales too.
