Background Occupational hazards occur in all walks of life. China’s horticulture industry is undergoing rapid development. However, the mental health of garden workers has not received much attention. This study investigates the mental health status and influencing factors of Chinese garden workers and provides a basis for promoting their mental health and ensuring the healthy development of Chinese horticulture. Methods A cross-sectional survey of garden workers in Beijing was conducted from 10 July 2021 to 10 October 2021. A total of 3349 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective response rate of 95.69%. Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out on the demographic characteristics, job satisfaction, stress, anxiety, and depression of garden workers, and the influencing factors affecting the mental health of Chinese garden workers were found through a t-test, variance analysis, and ordinal multi-class logistic regression analysis. Results Survey respondents were mostly male (54.4%) and under the age of 40 (64.1%). The anxiety and depression symptoms of the garden workers were moderate. Among staff members, 40.2% were in a normal state of stress. Gender, three meals on time, monthly income, and job satisfaction were the factors influencing stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms among garden workers. Conclusion Compared to medical staff and other groups, the stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms of Chinese garden workers are severe. Gender, monthly income, and job satisfaction are important factors affecting their mental health. Managers should continuously improve the working environment of garden workers, provide salaries that match their positions, and improve their job recognition and satisfaction to reduce the impact of negative emotions on personal health.

Giriş ve Amaç: Araştırmada hemşirelerin iş tatminleri ile örgütsel muhalefet davranışlarını sergileme eğilimleri arasındaki ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda hemşirelerin örgütsel muhalefet davranışlarını sergileme eğilimleri ile hangi örgütsel muhalefet davranışlarını daha fazla sergilediklerinin belirlenmesi, işlerinden sağladıkları doyum seviyelerinin belirlenmesi ve bahsi geçen değişkenler arasında ilişkinin söz konusu olup olmadığı, var ise ne yönde bir ilişkinin söz konusu olduğunun ortaya konulması hedeflenmektedir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın evrenini üçüncü basamak sağlık kuruluşunda görev yapan hemşireler oluşturmaktadır. Gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak evren içerisinden kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile araştırmaya dâhil olan 337 hemşireden elde edilen veriler ile çalışma yürütülmüştür. İş tatmini ve Örgütsel Muhalefet ölçekleri ile demografik bilgilere ilişkin anket formuna eklenen sorularla veriler toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler analize tabi tutulmuştur. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin orta seviyede iş tatminlerinin olduğu ve örgütsel muhalefet davranışlarından sırasıyla en fazla dikey muhalefet davranışlarını, ardından yatay ve yer değiştirmiş muhalefet davranışlarını sergileme eğilimlerinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Hemşirelerin işlerinden sağladıkları doyum seviyesi ile örgütsel muhalefet davranışlarını sergileme eğilimi arasında da ilişkinin varlığı ortaya konulmuştur. İş tatmini yüksek olan hemşirelerin dikey muhalefet sergileme eğilimlerinin de daha yüksek seviyede olduğu ve iş yerinde yaşadıkları problemleri üst yöneticilerine aktararak sorunun çözümüne yönelik arayış içinde oldukları görülmektedir. Diğer taraftan iş tatmini düşük olan hemşirelerin ise yer değiştirilmiş muhalefet davranışı sergileyerek sorunun çözümünden ziyade kendilerini rahatlama yolunu tercih ettikleri anlaşılmaktadır. Sonuç: Muhalefet kelimesi her ne kadar olumsuz gibi algılansa da iş süreçlerinde oluşan sorunların tespitinde ve çözümünde yönetimsel işlere ışık tutmaktadır. İş tatminin arttırılması, yapıcı ve destekleyici önerilerin yönetime iletilebilmesi için çalışanların özellikle dikey muhalefet davranışlarının sergileyebilecekleri ortamın yaratılması ve katılımcı yönetim anlayışının benimsenmesi sağlık yöneticilerine önerilmektedir. Anahtar kelimeler: İş tatmini, örgütsel muhalefet, hemşire, sağlık kuruluşu Abstract Aim; The aim of the research is to examine the relationship between nurses' job satisfaction and their tendency to exhibit organizational dissent behaviors. In this context, it is aimed to determine the tendency of nurses to exhibit organizational dissent behaviors and which organizational dissent behaviors they exhibit more, to determine the satisfaction levels they provide from their jobs, and to reveal whether there is a relationship between the mentioned variables and, if so, in what direction.

This research examines the influence of organizational commitment and employee engagement on employee performance, with job satisfaction as an intervening variable. The research sample consists of 124 employees of the Lhokseumawe Mayor's Office. The analytical tool used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) employing the AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structure) Version 24 software. The research findings indicate that organizational commitment does not directly affect satisfaction but significantly impacts employee performance. Employee engagement, on the other hand, significantly affects job satisfaction and employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction influences employee performance. While job satisfaction does not mediate the influence of organizational commitment on employee performance, it has a mediating role in the relationship between employee engagement and employee performance. These findings are expected to provide a basis for formulating organizational policies related to employee management to enhance service performance in government organizations, particularly within the Lhokseumawe Mayor's Office.

Background In recent years, sustainable employability, rooted in the capability approach, has received substantial attention due to its associations with work and health-related outcomes. While previous studies have indicated that being able and enabled to achieve important work values (i.e., work capabilities) is positively associated with desirable work outcomes, most of these studies have primarily employed a cross-sectional design to explore these associations. This study aimed to examine the long-term relationships between work capabilities and work and wellbeing-related outcomes, including work ability, work engagement, task and creative performance, organizational citizenship behavior, organizational commitment, job and life satisfaction, turnover intention, and burnout symptoms. Methods Data were collected from 251 randomly selected Dutch employees through a two-wave survey conducted in 2021 and 2023 via the Longitudinal Internet Studies for the Social Sciences panel. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess these associations while controlling for potential covariates. Results The results revealed that participants valued a diverse range of work capabilities but encountered challenges in realizing these valued capabilities. The capability set positively predicted desirable outcomes and was associated with reduced burnout over a two-year period. Conclusions Supporting and enabling employees to realize their capabilities is essential for improving favorable work outcomes and diminishing burnout in today’s volatile work environment. These findings further emphasize the importance of organizations improving conversion factors to bridge the gap between valued capabilities and their actualization.
... A range of control variables, including Self-Efficacy, Burnout, Resiliency, Narcissism, Psychopathy, the Big Five Inventory, and demographic factors like Age, Gender, and Organizational Tenure, were incorporated to refine the analysis and ensure the validity of the results.

Practically, discrepancies in job satisfaction among workers in similar roles suggest that individual characteristics significantly impact how job crafting behaviors are implemented. The potential for job crafting to enhance satisfaction has yet to be fully explored, particularly in the context of Machiavellian traits as a moderating influence. Using the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model as the framework, our study aimed to determine if these traits functioned as a resource or demand. Understanding how Machiavellian traits impact how employees craft their work may inform and facilitate tailored workplace interventions that accommodate diverse personality types. This cross-sectional study, using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with multiple post hoc analyses, examines the moderating role of Machiavellianism on the relationship between job crafting behaviors and job satisfaction in a sample of U.S. workers (N = 291). Results from the total sample revealed that cognitive crafting had the strongest positive relationship with job satisfaction, while relational crafting showed a smaller but significant positive effect. Machiavellianism did not moderate the relationship between task crafting and job satisfaction but moderated the effects of cognitive and relational crafting. Specifically, Machiavellianism acted as a demand for cognitive crafting in the total sample and the segmented sample for Generation X, reducing job satisfaction while functioning as a resource for relational crafting in the same group. These findings highlight the dual role of Machiavellianism and suggest that its impact on job crafting and satisfaction varies by crafting type and generation.

The main purpose of this study, explore the mediating role of career sustainability in the relationships between teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and subjective well-being. Teachers should have an acceptable level of satisfaction regarding self-efficacy, career sustainability, and job satisfaction to secure well-being. In a sense, this claim mandates revealing the relationships between these variables. Accordingly, we collected data from 369 Turkish language teachers aged 24–55 years employed in public schools using the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale, Short Index of Job Satisfaction, Career Sustainability Scale, and Subjective Well-Being Scale and tested a mediation model to seek answers to our hypotheses. We collected the data using an online questionnaire battery web-based survey (Google Forms) which was created using data collection measures and demographic items. After creating the survey using Google Forms, we distributed it through various channels such as email lists, social media platforms, and professional networks (e.g., teacher WhatsApp groups, teacher Telegram groups, etc.). Respondents were invited to participate in the survey voluntarily. The findings showed that career sustainability mediated the relationships between teacher self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and subjective well-being. Accordingly, we may claim that teachers with desirable career sustainability are likely to have increased job satisfaction and well-being, contributing to their self-efficacy. This research emphasises the essential significance of career sustainability in the overall well-being and work satisfaction of teachers. Future study should investigate treatments aimed at improving career sustainability and examine these linkages in other cultural settings.

Relational perspectives on turnover antecedents have gained momentum in recent years, highlighting three distinct relational forces underlying employees' turnover decisions—notably, job embeddedness, social capital, and turnover contagion. However, these distinct perspectives are typically examined independent of one another, with little theoretical integration or holistic understanding of the shared mechanisms through which these relational antecedents operate on turnover intentions and behavior. We propose a conceptual model integrating the three types of relational antecedents (specifying their unique effects), while positing normative pressures from work and nonwork relationships as a fundamental consideration underlying quit decisions that translates their effects on leaving. Our model tests find support for this common mediator, even when controlling for traditional mediating mechanisms (i.e., job attitudes and perceived alternatives). Our tests also include important cultural considerations, allowing for comparisons between national cultures in our sample of nearly 700 surveyed employees and their subsequent quit intentions and behaviors, spanning the USA, Hong Kong, and China. Our tests revealed that on‐ and off‐the‐job embeddedness reduces quit propensity while prospective colleague turnover boosts that propensity. Path analyses further determined that normative pressures predict quit propensity (beyond attitudes and alternatives), and that such pressures mediate how job embeddedness and prospective coworker turnover influence quit propensity. We tease apart these effects across national cultures and discuss theoretical and practical implications of our findings.

Purpose This study aims to examine the interplay between person–environment fit (PE fit), empowerment and leader–member exchange (LMX) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Design/methodology/approach The final sample consisted of 733 respondents collected randomly from various business sectors in the UAE. Data was analysed and tested for moderation using Smart-PLS. Findings This study’s results show LMX to be a negative moderator. They reveal that LMX plays a crucial role in the relationship between PE Fit and job satisfaction, particularly when the fit is poor. Moreover, LMX was found to be a significant negative moderator between empowerment and satisfaction, highlighting its importance when empowerment is lacking. Research limitations/implications It is important to note that the current study is cross-sectional, which means it cannot establish causation. Only a pure experimental design can provide such conclusive evidence. This limitation should be considered when interpreting the findings. Practical implications This research highlights a significant finding in turbulent times when PE fit and empowering practices are often lacking: LMX can play a compensatory role. This insight can be invaluable for human resources managers, offering a practical solution to maintaining employee satisfaction in challenging times. Social implications The positive impact of enhanced job satisfaction and improved work relationships extends beyond the organization to stakeholders and society at large. Originality/value This research fills a gap in the existing literature by investigating the interaction between the PE fit variable and other variables, such as LMX. This novel approach offers a new perspective for HR managers, potentially enabling them to enhance their strategies for improving employee satisfaction.

Background: Occupational accidents remain a critical challenge for healthcare professionals. Objective: In the present study, using the Bayesian network (BN) approach association among resilience, job satisfaction, stress, and occupational accidents among healthcare professionals is examined. Methods: Data was gathered using several valid questionnaires. The BN approach was utilized to analyze the r5/31/2024ionships between the variables of the current study. The performance of BN analysis was evaluated using related indexes. Results: In total, 300 healthcare professionals participated in this study. Results showed that almost 23% of healthcare professionals had experienced occupational accidents. Results of the sensitivity analysis demonstrated that job satisfaction had the most significant influence on occupational accidents in healthcare settings. The belief updating analysis results showed that by increasing job satisfaction and decreasing stress of healthcare professionals the occurrence of occupational accidents decreased 9.8% and 6.4%, respectively. Moreover, decreasing the stress of healthcare professionals can lead to an increase in the level of job satisfaction. Evaluation indexes showed that the performance of the developed BN was acceptable (error rate: 16.09). Conclusion: The Findings reveal that both job satisfaction and stress had a significant influence on occupational accidents in healthcare professionals. Moreover, by influencing job satisfaction and stress, resilience can indirectly affect occupational accidents.

Purpose This study aims to examine the impact of an organization’s internal and external corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives on employee job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the social identity perspective, the authors proposed and tested a mediation model to understand the psychological mechanisms underlying the effects of CSR. The study sample comprised 263 employees from Italian manufacturing firms. Findings Our findings indicate that external CSR orientation is positively associated with employee job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Furthermore, the mediating effect of job satisfaction partially explains the positive relationship between external CSR orientation and organizational commitment. Moreover, we found that the positive impact of external CSR on employee outcomes is strengthened when combined with internal CSR. Practical implications This research has practical and theoretical implications for organizations seeking to enhance employee engagement and commitment through CSR initiatives and sheds light on how CSR can shape employee attitudes and behaviors toward the organization. Originality/value This study brings a novel contribution to the field by examining the impact of both internal and external CSR initiatives on employee job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

Job satisfaction significantly impacts teachers’ overall well-being and mental health. Research reveals a strong connection between employment status and mental health, with teaching being a particularly stressful profession. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these challenges, with the shift to online education and limited support causing heightened stress, anxiety, and depression. This study analyses scientific literature exploring the link between job satisfaction and mental health (depression, stress, and anxiety) in teachers. By examining relevant articles in major databases like Web of Science, PSYNDEX, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar, the research identifies numerous sociodemographic and institutional factors contributing to teachers’ mental health struggles, including workload, teaching experience, job satisfaction, gender, and the nature of online education. The findings highlight the urgent need for educational policymakers to develop policies prioritizing teacher well-being, especially during times of crisis. This involves addressing factors affecting job satisfaction and implementing strategies to promote mental health support for educators.
... Job satisfaction is the employee positive and negative attitudes about their workplace. For assessing job satisfaction, a five items scale adapted from Brayfield and Rothe, (1951) using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 'strongly disagree=1' to 'strongly agree = 5'. A sample item comprised of, 'I feel fairly well satisfied with my present job.' Cronbach's α = 0.88 ...
... Participants were administered a job satisfaction measure adapted from Brayfield and Rothe [38], where they were asked to rate the extent to which they agreed with six items, such as 'I feel real enjoyment in my work' and 'I consider my job to be rather unpleasant'. Response scores, ranging from 1 = 'strongly disagree' to 5 = 'strongly agree', were averaged by summing scores and dividing these by the number of items (Cronbach's α = 0.82) after reversing negatively phrased items, with higher scores indicating greater job satisfaction. ...

Introduction The negative attitudes people hold towards those who use alcohol or other drugs (AOD) can also affect the people who work with this community, leading to lowered productivity and wellbeing. The impact of this stigma by association in the AOD and harm reduction sector is particularly significant because workers may have lived experience of AOD use and identify strongly with their client group. This study aimed to examine how stigma by association among health workers in the AOD/harm reduction sector relates to workplace outcomes. A secondary aim was to explore how lived experience influences experiences of stigma by association. Methods The research used a cross‐sectional survey design and data collection occurred in 2023. Australian AOD/harm reduction workers ( n = 228) completed an online survey assessing stigma by association as well as various workplace outcomes measures. Results Participants who reported experiencing more stigma by association experienced poorer workplace wellbeing, higher burnout and greater intentions to leave the AOD/harm reduction field. Experiences of stigma by association were unrelated to job satisfaction. Additional analyses revealed that participants with lived experience reported higher levels of job satisfaction and lowered intentions to leave the sector, but findings of stigma by association and its impacts on workplace outcomes did not differ from those without lived experience. Discussion and Conclusions Identifying staff experiences of stigma by association and developing support and advocacy mechanisms to address this is likely to be key to reducing these experiences and ultimately to increasing positive workplace outcomes for AOD and harm reduction staff.

Purpose Bullying of leaders is an underexplored topic in organizational research. To fill this knowledge gap, the aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of bullying of leaders and to examine whether holding a formal leadership position influences the relationships between exposure to bullying and the outcomes job satisfaction and depression. Methods Data from two separate surveys were employed: (1) A cross-sectional occupation specific sample comprising 678 Norwegian child welfare social workers; (2) A nationally representative probability sample of 1,608 Norwegian employees with two time-points (6 months’ time-lag). Results Analyzing multiple indicators of workplace bullying, holding a formal leadership position had no impact on the initial risk of being bullied. Analyses of prospective data showed that leaders report a somewhat stronger increase in levels of bullying over time compared to non-leaders, although the effect size was small. With exception of a small buffering effect on the cross-sectional association between exposure to bullying behaviors and job satisfaction in the second sample, holding a leadership position had no effect on the strength of the association between bullying and outcomes. Conclusion The findings show that leaders have the same risk of being bullied and are influenced by bullying in roughly the same manner as non-leaders. Organizational measures and interventions against bullying should therefore consider leaders as a risk group in line with other employees.

The evaluation of job satisfaction is significant due to its effect on workers' physical and mental health and job-related behaviours like productivity, absenteeism, and turnover. This study aims to determine the level and critical factors of job satisfaction among Greek private-sector employees. In this regard, the examination of the literature's critical instruments for assessing job satisfaction is presented. The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) was used to conduct a quantitative survey, with findings analysed using descriptive statistics. Convenient sampling was used for data collection. The empirical results indicate that employees in the Greek private sector are marginally satisfied with their jobs. Factor analysis distinguishes the intrinsic job facets of ability utilisation, independence, and social status, along with the extrinsic facets of working conditions and co-workers as the main drivers of job satisfaction. Further, the intrinsic factors influence more overall job satisfaction than the extrinsic ones. Finally, among the socio-demographic factors, employees' education attainment determines job satisfaction in the private businesses of the Greek labour market.

As a senior executive at a Chinese company included in the MSCI Index, the author considered the personality mix of marketing personnel when recruiting, aiming to balance performance and stability. In practice, I found that the performance of marketing personnel is closely related to their zodiac signs, although biases from senior management, particularly in HR, had to be carefully mitigated to ensure objective results. Salespeople with fire signs and other extroverted signs often perform better but are also more impulsive, easily influenced by external environments, and more likely to leave. We collected sales personnel data from the company’s Oracle database from 2014 to 2023, with a valid sample size of 9,291 people, using the logit model and OLS model to explore the performance and stability of employees with different zodiac signs. Results show that, holding other factors constant, extroverted signs have a 2.37% higher probability of turnover and an 8.00% higher average performance than introverted signs. This data, while novel, is framed within the limitations of using zodiac signs as a proxy for personality traits, a subject where more established scientific literature is lacking. We recommend that companies configure their sales teams with 60% extroverted personnel to drive innovation and 40% introverted personnel to ensure team stability.

Although a large body of literature suggests transformational leadership plays a pivotal role in influencing employee job satisfaction, an increasing number of research studies have failed to establish such a relationship. Drawing upon leadership behavioral theory and social exchange theory, this paper assesses whether transformational leadership affects employee job satisfaction in educational organizations. Regression analysis was conducted after collecting survey data from 102 teachers working in Jordanian private schools. The results show that transformational leadership is positively associated with teachers' job satisfaction. Beyond this, our analysis also shows that the control variables such as age, gender, and educational qualification all have statistically significant effects on job satisfaction. This points to the importance of studying other contextual factors in understanding the extent to which specific leadership styles can influence employee work experience.

The objective of this study was to find out the influence of Yogasana, Meditation and Pranayama practice on the Physiological and Psychological variables of College-level Students, Psychological fitness — or mental health — can be measured by assessing levels of anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, satisfaction, positive relationships, responsibility and competence. A person with high anxiety levels and poor relationships is not as psychologically fit as someone with low anxiety levels and rich relationships. And like ‘workouts’ that improve physical fitness, there are exercises that improve psychological fitness. The definition of health-related fitness involves exercise activities that you do to try to improve your physical health and stay healthy, particularly in the categories of cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, muscular endurance and body composition. Yoga is a holistic science of universal applicability and adaptability. Although originated in India, Yoga and meditation are being practiced throughout the world. The rather consistent and wide range of benefits and applications of yoga and meditation led numerous multi-disciplinary researchers to conduct research in these areas. An “Asana” is a body posture, originally and still a general term for a sitting meditation pose, and later extended in hatha yoga and modern yoga as exercise, to any type of position, adding reclining, standing, inverted, twisting, and balancing poses. “Pranayama” is control of Breath”. “Prana” is Breath or vital energy in the body. On subtle levels prana represents the pranic energy responsible for life or life force, and “ayama” means control. So Pranayama is “Control of Breath”.
