A tool for analysing the interdependence of indoor environmental quality and reported symptoms of the hospitals’ personnel

The working environment and the working conditions can influence the well-being of hospital employees and consequently their performance at work. The present questionnaire-based study (737 valid questionnaires) developed and evaluated a quantitative structural equation model (SEM) that examines the interdependence between the indoor environmental quality (IEQ), the working conditions, the atopic constituents and the reported health complains of employees in three Greek hospitals. The results of the SEM reveal that IEQ could partially explain the employees’ symptoms in the hospitals. The working conditions proved to be a key factor in the relationship between IEQ and symptoms. Multi-group analysis has shown that this interdependence is affected by the building characteristics, by the gender, the smoking habits and the specialty of each participant, but not by their age.     

Three generations of Telework: New ICTs and the (R)evolution from Home Office to Virtual Office

‘New ICTs’, such as smartphones and tablet computers, have revolutionised work and life in the 21st Century. Crucial to this development is the detachment of work from traditional office spaces. Today's office work is often supported by Internet connections, and thus can be done from anywhere at any time. Research on detachment of work from the employer's premises actually dates back to the previous century. In the 1970s and 1980s, Jack Nilles and Allan Toffler predicted that work of the future would be relocated into or nearby employees’ homes with the help of technology, called ‘Telework’. Analysing technological advancements—the enabling forces of change in this context—over four decades sheds new light on this term: they have fostered the evolution of Telework in distinct stages or ‘generations’. Today's various location‐independent, technology‐enabled new ways of working are all part of the same revolution in the inter‐relationship between paid work and personal life.     

Flexibility bites back: the multiple and hidden costs of flexible employment policies

Flexible labour markets are increasingly regarded as the answer to a wide spectrum of labour market and societal challenges from creating jobs to reducing segmentation and welfare dependency, improving public finances and supporting workforce diversity and innovation. The contention is that, contrary to these claims, flexible labour markets generate fundamental contradictions and unsustainable long‐term trends. The jobs miracle is exaggerated and based on low productivity jobs, outsiders often lose most from competition, claimants must work flexibly but still secure a full‐time wage, low‐wage employment is shrinking the fiscal base, jobs are not being adjusted to accommodate workers' changing needs and capacities and the disposable labour model is undermining long‐term productivity.     

初始就业状态、工作转换与农民工就业质量变动

有研究认为,工作转换是农民工群体为了提高其就业质量（工资水平）进行的主动选择,而现实中工作转换是否能够有效提升农民工就业质量有待深入考察。利用RUMIC2008—2010面板数据,在区分受雇就业和自营就业的基础上,进一步控制工作转换前的就业状态,考察工作转换对农民工就业质量变动的影响,分析表明：工作转换对农民工就业质量变动的影响与其转换前的就业状态有关,转换前就业质量越高,转换后就业质量提升空间越有限,工作转换对原本处于低质量就业状态的农民工的就业质量有更大的提升作用;参加养老了保险以及有固定或长期劳动合同的受雇就业者在工作转换中处于不利地位,相对于未转换者,工作转换反而使其就业质量变差。     

空想社会主义的和谐社会思想及其实践意义

西欧工业化初期,以圣西门、付立叶、欧文为代表的空想社会主义者系统阐述了构建和谐社会的思想。他们从批判剥削制度入手,设计了人类应该实现的和谐社会形态,提出了实现和谐社会的途径。虽然他们的思想过于理想化,在当时的社会条件下不具有现实可行性,因而被称为"空想",但是,随着社会的发展进步,其思想的闪光点越来越为后人所重视。在今天,空想社会主义思想家的和谐思想对我们构建社会主义和谐社会仍然具有十分重要的理论价值和实践意义。
