Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det fanns en relation mellan arbetstrivsel och KASAM (känsla av sammanhang) inom en kommunal förvaltning i Sjuhäradsområdet. Utgångspunkterna var att ta reda på om det fanns skillnader i hur man trivdes på arbetsplatsen samt om det fanns könsskillnader eller åldersskillnader i arbetstrivseln. I studien användes en enkät för att ta reda på hur anställda ser på sitt arbete, och hur det påverkar arbetstrivseln. Mätinstrumenten som användes var Antonovskys livsfrågeformulär och en egen enkät om arbetstrivsel. 71 respondenter deltog i studien, 29 kvinnor och 40 män. Resultatet från studien visade att det inte fanns några signifikanta könsskillnader eller åldersskillnader för KASAM eller arbetstrivsel. Det fanns däremot samband mellan att ha kontroll över arbetet och högt KASAM-värde. / <p>The purpose of this study was to examine if there was a relationship between job satisfaction and SOC (Sense of Coherence) in a communal administration in the area of Sjuhärad. The starting points was to find out if there was any differences in how you feel about your workplace and if there was any differences in gender or age concerning work well-being. The study used survey data where the aim was to find out how employees view their work, and how it affects the job satisfaction present. The apparatus used was Atonovsky’s life questionnaire and a self-made survey on job satisfaction. 71 respondents participated in the study, 29 women and 40 men. Results from the study showed that there were no significant gender differences or age differences for either the SOC or job satisfaction. There was however associations between having job control and high SOC-value.</p><p>Program: Organisations- och personalutvecklare i samhället</p>

El objetivo del presente trabajo de investigación fue conocer la relación que existe entre el trabajo remoto y el bienestar laboral en trabajadores de Lima Metropolitana, sea este positivo o negativo; y desarrollar una serie de recomendaciones base que pueden ser tomados por empresas con similares características al momento de definir su política de trabajo remoto; manteniendo un balance entre productividad y bienestar laboral. Para lograr estos objetivos se empleó una metodología mixta para recolectar datos relevantes. En total participaron 190 colaboradores de diversas empresas privadas de Lima Metropolitana, 28 en los focus group y 162 en el sondeo virtual. Para este sondeo, se utilizó el cuestionario de bienestar laboral general de (Blanch, Sahagún, Cantera, & Cervantes, 2010) y una escala de preguntas elaborada por los investigadores específicamente para el presente trabajo. Los resultados obtenidos de ambas fuentes muestran una relación entre los efectos colaterales (negativos) y ciertas modalidades de trabajo rígidas; asimismo, se identificaron coincidencias entre características laborales y el bienestar laboral subjetivo (focus group) y evaluado (sondeo virtual). Adicionalmente se identificaron diferencias entre los resultados obtenidos según el puesto de trabajo del colaborador, pero que no guardan relación con la edad del mismo, implicando que el tipo de responsabilidad es una variable a considerar al momento de establecer las bases de una modalidad de trabajo remota. Finalmente se identificaron recomendaciones básicas para establecer una modalidad de trabajo mixta (preferida por los participantes). / The aim of the study was to identify the impact of remote working on the work well-being of workers from private companies in Lima Metropolitana, be it positive or negative, on work well-being, so a baseline can be developed for other private companies to build on their pursuit of the ideal remote working policy. To accomplish this goals, a mixed methodology evaluation was crafted to gather relevant data. In general, 190 workers from private companies participated on either the focus groups (28) or the online survey (162). For the online survey we used Blanch’s general work well-being questionnaire (qBLG) and a questionnaire specifically design for the study; on the other hand all focus groups were design and guided by our team of researchers. The results from both sources show a relation between collateral effects and rigid work policies; also, we identified coincidences between the characteristics that workers, from the focus groups and the online survey, prompted as positive and negative. Furthermore, the results show a link between the role of the worker in the company and his/her work well-being that did not take age into account, meaning that responsibility is an important variable to take in consideration when developing a remote working policy. Finally, we were able to establish base guidelines companies that wish to start remote working. / Trabajo de investigación

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo general analizar la relación entre las demandas, los recursos laborales y el bienestar del profesorado de tiempo completo en tres universidades de Lima Metropolitana, utilizando el modelo JD-R. A tal fin, se aplica un enfoque de investigación cuantitativo, bajo un diseño no experimental de tipo descriptivo-correlacional, tomando como población a 4020 docentes universitarios, de tres universidades de Lima Metropolitana: Universidad Ricardo Palma, Universidad San Juan Bautista y Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola. En este sentido, se efectúa un muestreo de tipo no probabilístico a conveniencia donde se seleccionan 180 profesores, a quienes se les aplica un instrumento estructurado vía Google Formularios y diseñado por Han et al. (2019), el cual permite medir las dimensiones del modelo JD-R, al ser validado por tres expertos y con una confiabilidad de sus dimensiones de mínimo 0,70. Los resultados descriptivos arrojan que 52,2 % de la muestra de docentes universitarios que registran un alto nivel de demandas de trabajo, también exhiben un bajo nivel de recursos laborales y un bajo nivel de bienestar laboral. En efecto, mediante la prueba de correlación de Spearman, se detecta una correlación negativa entre las demandas de trabajo de los docentes universitarios y su bienestar laboral (rho = -0,562, p<0,05); de igual manera, se comprueba una correlación positiva entre los recursos laborales disponibles y el nivel de bienestar laboral (rho = 0,613, p<0,05). Finalmente, se evidencia una relación positiva entre la demanda de trabajo y el agotamiento emocional (rho = 0,513 p<0,05). / The general objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between labor demands and resources and the welfare of full-time professors in three universities in Metropolitan Lima within the framework of the JD-R model. To this end, a quantitative research approach was applied, under a non-experimental design of a descriptive-correlational type, having a population of 4020 university professors, from three universities in Metropolitan Lima: Universidad Ricardo Palma, Universidad San Juan Bautista and Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola. In this sense, a non-probabilistic type of sampling was carried out at convenience, with a total of 180 professors, to whom an instrument structured via Google Forms and designed by Han et al. (2019) was applied, which measured the dimensions of the JD-R model, being validated by three experts and with a reliability of its dimensions of at least 0.70. The descriptive results show that 52.2% of the sample of university teachers who register a high level of work demands, also have a low level of labor resources and at the same time a low level of labor welfare. In effect, by means of Spearman's correlation test, a negative correlation was detected between the work demands of university professors and their labor welfare (rho = -0.562, p<0.05); likewise, a positive correlation was verified between the available labor resources and the level of labor welfare (rho = 0.613, p<0.05). Finally, there was a positive relationship between work demands and emotional exhaustion (rho = 0.513, p<0.05). / Tesis

Det finns en global brist av sjuksköterskor. Många väljer att lämna sjuksköterskeyrket på grund av olika orsaker. Sjuksköterskeyrket är komplex och innebär stort ansvar och kräver kompetens. Trots att många sjuksköterskor lämnat sitt yrke är de över lag mycket positiva till omvårdnad som karriär. Personalomsättning bland sjuksköterskor är en utmaning för sjukvården vilket även påverkar vårdkvalitén och arbetsmiljön. För att minska personalomsättning är det av stor vikt att vårdledaren engagerar sig för att behålla sjuksköterskor kvar på arbetsplatsen. Syftet med denna studie var att belysa vårdledarskapets påverkan av sjuksköterskors val att stanna kvar eller lämna arbetsplatsen. Studien är en integrativ litteraturstudie och framkom genom en induktiv innehållsanalys. Databaser som användes CINAHL och PubMed. Resultat hämtades från 20 vetenskapliga artiklar mellan år 2012–2022. För att sjuksköterskorna skulle trivas på sitt arbete så behövde det finnas en tillgänglig vårdledare som kände sin personal. Sjuksköterskorna behövde få möjlighet till kompetensutveckling och professionella utmaningar. Det behövde finnas en visad medmänsklighet och omsorgsfull förståelse från vårdledaren och sjuksköterskorna önskade få feedback på sitt arbete. Tydlig kommunikation och stöd var viktigt från vårdledaren för att sjuksköterskorna skulle vilja stanna på arbetsplatsen. Brist på stöd och förståelse från vårdledarna var bland annat sådana faktorer som bidrog att sjuksköterskorna valde att lämna sin arbetsplats. Den induktiva ansatsen tog fram tre huvudkategorier; Organisatorisk arbetslednings utformning, utvecklingsmöjligheter och stödjande miljö. Dessa områden visade sig vara av betydelse i sjuksköterskornas beslut om att stanna eller lämna. / There is a global shortage of nurses. Many choose to leave the nursing profession due to various reasons. The nursing profession is complex and entails great responsibility and requires competence. Despite the fact that many nurses have left their profession, they are generally very positive about nursing as a career. Staff turnover among nurses is a challenge for healthcare, which also affects the quality of care and the work environment. In order to reduce staff turnover, it is of great importance that the care manager commits to keeping nurses in the workplace. The aim of this study was to highlight the influence of care leadership on nurses' choice to stay or leave the workplace. The study is an integrative literature study and emerged through an inductive content analysis. Databases used CINAHL and PubMed. Results were taken from 20 scientific articles between the years 2012–2022. In order for the nurses to enjoy their work, there needed to be an available care manager who knew his staff. The nurses needed to have the opportunity for competence development and professional challenges. There needed to be a demonstrated humanity and caring understanding from the care manager and the nurses wanted to receive feedback on their work. Clear communication and support from the care manager was important for the nurses to want to stay at the workplace. Lack of support and understanding from the care managers were factors that contributed to the nurses choosing to leave their workplace. The inductive approach produced three main categories: Organizational work management design, development opportunities and supportive environment. These areas were found to be of importance in the nurses' decision to stay or leave.

En este artículo, se estudia el nivel de influencia del contrato laboral a tiempo fijo en la productividad de las empresas, con base en investigaciones realizadas por diversos autores de distintas partes del mundo. El objetivo principal es mostrar las posturas actuales sobre la influencia que tiene la naturaleza del contrato laboral a tiempo fijo en el rendimiento de la empresa. Para ello, se desarrollan dos subtemas: la influencia del contrato laboral a tiempo fijo sobre la productividad y, por otro lado, la influencia del contrato laboral a tiempo fijo sobre la seguridad y el bienestar laboral. En el presente estudio, de manera prioritaria, se utiliza la metodología cualitativa. En la investigación realizada, se ha encontrado gran controversia en cuanto a la influencia que tiene la naturaleza del contrato laboral sobre el rendimiento de la empresa, mientras que, para unos investigadores, el contrato laboral a tiempo fijo favorece la productividad, debido a que la empresa reduce sus costos al no invertir en recursos humanos; para otros, el contrato laboral a tiempo fijo perjudica la productividad, dado que el desempeño e impacto laboral es inferior, comparado con los trabajadores con contrato a tiempo indefinido. / In this article, the level of influence of the fixed-term labor contract on firm productivity is examined, based on research conducted by various authors from different parts of the world. The main objective is to show the current positions on the influence of the nature of the fixed-term labor contract on firm performance. For this purpose, we will develop two sub-themes: the influence of the fixed-term employment contract on productivity and, on the other hand, the influence of the fixed-term employment contract on job security and well-being. In the present study, the qualitative methodology is used as a priority. In the research carried out, we have found great controversy regarding the influence of the nature of the employment contract on the company's performance. While, for some authors, the fixed-term labor contract favors productivity, since the company reduces its costs by not investing in human resources; for other authors, the fixed-term labor contract is detrimental to productivity, since labor performance and impact is lower compared to workers with an indefinite-term contract. / Trabajo de Suficiencia Profesional

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo determinar la influencia del clima organizacional en la satisfacción laboral de los colaboradores de microempresas fabricantes de la industria del calzado en Lima Metropolitana, 2019. El diseño de la investigación es de base no experimental, con corte transversal a fin de conocer si existe una relación de tipo correlacional-causal. La metodología planteada para la recolección de datos es de enfoque cuantitativo y se elaboró una encuesta de tipo Likert con el propósito de precisar la relación causal de las variables y predecir cómo actúan los colaboradores dentro del ambiente laboral. La confiabilidad de dicho instrumento fue determinada mediante el Coeficiente de Alfa de Cronbach (0.943) y, su validación, fue otorgada mediante el juicio de un experto. De una población de 13 920 colaboradores de microempresas en Lima Metropolitana, se delimitó mediante la técnica de muestreo probabilístico aleatorio simple una muestra correspondiente a 374 colaboradores del sector calzado. De acuerdo al Coeficiente de Correlación de Spearman (ρ = 0.623) y al Coeficiente de determinación (R2 = 0.440), se infiere que, en Lima Metropolitana, los colaboradores de microempresas fabricantes de la industria del calzado perciben que el clima organizacional influye directamente en la satisfacción laboral. / The purpose of this research work is to determine the influence of the organizational climate on the job satisfaction of collaborators of micro-manufacturing companies in the footwear industry in Metropolitan Lima, 2019. The research design is non-experimental, with a cross-section to in order to find out if there is a correlational-causal relation. The methodology proposed for data collection is quantitative in approach and a Likert-type survey was prepared to specify the causal relationship of the variables and predicting how employees work within the work environment. The reliability of this instrument was determined by means of the Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient (0.943) and its validation was granted through the judgment of an expert. From a population of 13,920 microenterprise collaborators in Metropolitan Lima, a sample corresponding to 374 collaborators in the footwear sector was delimited using the simple random probability sampling technique. According to the Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient (ρ = 0.623) and the Coefficient of Determination (R2 = 0.440), it is inferred that, in Metropolitan Lima, the collaborators of micro-manufacturing companies in the footwear industry perceive that the organizational climate influences directly job satisfaction. / Tesis

The aim of the diploma thesis is to create a set of activities for university teachers that will have the potential to improve the working life of teachers and overall, well-being. The theoretical part of the thesis contains knowledge about well-being, its determinants, sources, but also well-being in connection with health. The next part of the theoretical part deals with the issue of personal change of well-being, how an individual can positively and negatively affect well-being. Furthermore, the theoretical part includes the topics of well-being in the workplace and creating a healthy work environment. In the last and one of the most important chapters of the theoretical part, the issue of well-being in university teachers is discussed, what shapes and influences his well-being. In the practical part there is a design of set of activities to improve well-being of university teachers. These activities are created on the basis of a search of professional literature. The practical part consists of two main parts. The first part contains suggestions for activities to improve the well-being of the university teachers, which the university teacher himself includes in his work life and personal life. In the second part, activities are also reaching to the improvement of well-being of university...

La reconnaissance touche toutes les personnes et de nombreux domaines. La complexité sémantique du concept tend à rendre floues sa représentation et son utilisation. Le concept de reconnaissance s’inscrit dans des interrogations transdisciplinaires: philosophiques, psychologiques, sociologiques, biologiques et anthropologiques en particulier. Ce concept est de plus en plus utilisé en sciences de gestion. À l’heure du multiculturalisme, des crises économiques, d’une gestion de plus en plus impersonnelle de l’humain, et de la perte de sens du travail, les chercheurs et praticiens s’interrogent sur les modalités d’une bonne reconnaissance et sur les coûts engendrés par les défauts de reconnaissance au travail. En effet, replacer l’Homme au cœur du travail et assurer le respect réciproque des différents acteurs, non-hiérarchiques comme hiérarchiques, devient une nécessité.Cet objet de recherche est encore émergent en sciences de gestion. Il est pourtant au fondement de phénomènes d’actualité, notamment la gestion de la diversité et de la responsabilité sociale. Il est donc la cible d’enjeux moraux. Au regard des impacts liés à la dépersonnalisation du travail, de plus en plus d’individus, du haut en bas de la hiérarchie dans les organisations, s’interrogent sur les enjeux sociaux et économiques du manque de reconnaissance et de la gestion de la reconnaissance. Cette thèse vise à mettre en évidence les liens forts qui existent entre la reconnaissance et la performance, notamment lorsque les organisations visent une performance socio-économique durable.La première partie explicite les fondements conceptuels et méthodologiques de la recherche, et présente nos terrains d’expérimentations. Le concept de reconnaissance est abordé sous un angle polysémique et transdisciplinaire. La justification de la méthodologie, l’exploitation de plus de 400 entretiens, issus de 12 organisations, avec l’ensemble des catégories de personnel, et l’étude de deux cas longitudinaux, attestent de la robustesse du travail de recherche.La seconde partie explique l’origine socialement construite de la reconnaissance au regard de l’histoire de chaque individu. Elle analyse sa dimension perceptive et symbolique. Nous proposons une nomenclature du système de reconnaissance et inventorions un certain nombre de facteurs transversaux qui influencent les perceptions de reconnaissance et leurs impacts sur les sentiments de satisfaction et d’insatisfaction. Enfin, nous étudions l’influence de trois variables (la taille de l’organisation, le niveau hiérarchique et le secteur d’activité) sur les attentes de reconnaissance.La troisième partie analyse deux cas longitudinaux et établit des liens entre la reconnaissance et la performance. Nous évaluons les coûts liés aux mauvaises pratiques de reconnaissance et au manque de reconnaissance. Nous catégorisons deux systèmes de reconnaissance dialectiques présents dans les organisations et apportons des résultats relatifs aux pratiques mises en place. Nous proposons enfin des pistes d’amélioration de la reconnaissance, pour développer une performance socio-économique durable à travers l’élaboration du concept de « reconnaissance activatrice ». / Recognition affects every one in a lot of situation. Because it’s semantic complexity, the concept is not easy to clearly define and use it. Miscellaneous branches as : Philosophy, psychology, Sociology, Biology or Anthropology, are wondering by this concept of recognition. This concept is still used more and more by the Management Sciences. This period is marked by development of multiculturalism, the appearance of economic crisis, an increase of impersonal management of the human being and a loss of work sense. So, researchers and practitioners are thinking about the way over to set forth right recognition rules and about the costs created by the defects of recognition at work. Indeed, it becomes a necessity to place Man into the heart of the work and secure a mutual respect between the various actors, hierarchical or not.This research object is emerging in the field of Management Sciences. However, it is the basis of currents events, especially concerning the diversity management and the social responsibility. So, the subject is really at the focal point of moral stakes. Facing the impacts sourced by the depersonalization into the working organizations, more and more people from the bottom to the top of theirs hierarchy are questioning on the social and economic stakes coming from missing recognition and recognition management. This thesis aims at to place in an obvious position the strong links existing between recognition and performance, especially when the organizations want sustainable socioeconomic performances.The first part of the thesis clarify the abstract and methodological bases of these investigations and set out our experimentations fields. The recognition concept is approached under a polysemic and interdisciplinary angle. The justification of the methodology, the exploitation of more than 400 interviews from 12 organizations with the whole employee’s grades and the study of two longitudinal cases testify the robustness of the research work.The second part explain the socially constructed origin of recognition according to the history of each person. It analyzes its perceptive and symbolical aspects. We propose a list of the system of recognition and make an inventory of several transverse factors acting upon the recognition perceptions and their impacts on the feelings of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. At last, we study the influence of three variables : the organization size, the hierarchical level and the business branch, upon the recognition expectations.The third part analyzes two longitudinal cases and establishes links between recognition and performance. We estimate the costs connected to the bad practices in recognition and to the lack of recognition. We categorize two dialectical recognition systems into the organizations and bring results according to these practices. At last, we suggest some possibilities for a recognition enhancement aiming to develop sustainable socioeconomic performances by the elaboration of concept : « activating recognition ».
