Redefining the Professional Identity of the Surgeon by Reflecting on Critical Incidents in London, United Kingdom
Authors: Alzouebi Aisha , Nawasreh Yusef , Hamidi Samer
Published: August 2024

INTRODUCTION: Critical incidents are increasingly prevalent documented events in National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in the United Kingdom. Claims are made against the NHS in cases of medical negligence, with Obstetrics and Gynaecology accounting for 15% of the total claims, the second highest among all specialties. 

OBJECTIVE: To understand the impact of critical incidents on the developing surgical identity of Obstetric and Gynaecological trainees in London, United Kingdom.

METHODS: A Qualitative study using semi-structured styled interviews. The interviews were audio-recorded and subsequently transcribed. The data was then analysed. Six trainees, of specialist trainee level three to seven were interviewed separately. This consisted of five female and one male doctors. This is within the current gender ratio difference in London.

RESULTS: Undergoing a critical incident was felt to be a traumatic experience for all trainees involved. The incident itself and its management by the department, hospital or deanery had a significant impact on the psycho-social well-being of the doctor involved. Critical incidents can negatively affect the professional development of the surgeon. Surgical identity is an area that appears to be in the hidden curriculum, however many trainees struggled to define what their surgical identity was and how it may have been affected.

CONCLUSION: Critical incidents cause significant psycho-social distress for the developing surgeon. Surgical identity should be implicitly understood within medical education. This study highlights the urgent need for those writing medical curricula; both undergraduate and postgraduate to make the implicit explicit. Surgical identity discourse must be a priority for the new curriculum. Professionalism and an ability to endure the psychological stress caused by undergoing critical incidents is likely to be enhanced, by creating a strong sense of belonging within the surgical profession. The loss of the traditional apprenticeship model and its mentors must be considered within the new design.

Authors: Mirchandani Trisha , Vithlani Komal
Published: August 2024

This research paper rigorously examines the psychological effects of vehicular honking on individuals within urban environments. By employing a comprehensive mixed-methods approach, encompassing both surveys and interviews, the study uncovers a compelling connection between honking exposure and adverse mental effects such as stress, annoyance, and emotional disturbances. This impact on psychological well-being subsequently influences overall life satisfaction. The findings underscore the pressing need for tailored interventions, including public awareness campaigns to promote responsible honking behaviour and the enforcement of stricter regulations during peak hours. Technological innovations, such as noise reduction systems, are proposed as potential solutions to mitigate the psychological toll of honking noise. Ultimately, the research highlights the urgency of addressing the psychological fallout of vehicular honking and offers a path toward creating more harmonious and mentally supportive urban environments.

Authors: Trawińska-Konador Katarzyna , Buchowicz Izabela , Felczak Joanna
Published: August 2024

The article presents the conclusions formulated on the basis of a qualitative analysis of diaries submitted by Polish teachers in response to the competition conducted in the years 2020-2021 by the Institute of Social Economy of the Warsaw School of Economics. The analysis of the diaries made it possible to answer questions about the condition of not only the teachers themselves, but also, and above all, about the emerging picture of the state of the Polish education system. The difficult times and new circumstances of school functioning during the pandemic highlighted the importance and essence of the teacher profession. However, these experiences also revealed the weaknesses of the education system, forcing us to look at the extent to which teachers are able to adequately recognize the situation of their activities, to what extent they have the ability to recognize the essence of “what is good and right”, how their awareness of their socio-professional role is shaped, what importance they attach to their work and what are their abilities to overcome extraordinary difficulties.The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for education that have resulted in profound changes in the way we think about school and its environment and about the work and professional development of teachers.

The experiment was conducted during 2019 and 2020 at research farm of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu to study the effect of different manures proportion along with reduced fertilizers rate application on performance of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) yield, produce quality and soil fertility indicators. Experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) comprised of 6 treatments, viz. T1, 100% organic; T2, 75% organic + 3% Panchagavya spray + azophos @3 kg; T3, 100% inorganic recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) alone; T4, State recommendation; T5, 50% organic + 50% inorganic; and T6, 75% organic + 25% inorganic. The results of two years mean showed that the soil quality indicators like SOC (8.12 g/kg), mineral N (266 kg/ha), available P (22.1 kg/ha), exchangeable K (482 kg/ha), microbial biomass carbon (256 mg/kg), dehydrogenase (35.8 μg TPF/g/ day), alkaline phosphatase (475 μg PNP/g/soil/h), bacteria (38.4 CFU × 106/g soil), fungi (15.0 CFU × 103/g soil) and actinobacteria population (10.3 CFU × 105/g soil) were better under 75% organic + 25% organic. Tomato yield was at par with 100% organic. On the basis of the above results, the tomato yield can be enhanced by about 99% and 150% in terms of production and monetary efficiency by the adoption of integrated nutrition management (INM) of organic (75%) and inorganic fertilizers (25%). Thus, the results suggest that the 75% organic + 25% inorganic could be adopted to get maximum benefits in terms of yield, fruit quality, soil fertility and fertilizer savings.

A study was carried out during winter (rabi) seasons of 2019–20 and 2020–21 at Agricultural Research Sub-station (Agriculture University, Jodhpur), Sumerpur, Pali, Rajasthan to find out the best novel fungicide for management of cumin blight. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) comprised of 10 treatments i.e. Four fungicides, combination of Pyraclostrobin 133 g/litre + Epoxiconazole 50 g/litre (500 and 750 ml/ha), Tebuconazole 25% wg (500 and 750 g/ha), Azoxystrobin 23% sc (500 and 750 ml/ha) and Thiophanate-methyl 70% wp (750 and 1000 g/ha) in two different concentrations and one check (Mancozeb 75% wp @1000 g/ha) and one un-treated control, replicated thrice. The susceptible variety GC-4 (Gujarat cumin-4) of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) was used for the experiment. The in vivo study recorded variable sensitivity of different fungi-toxicants against cumin blight pathogen. Among the different fungi-toxicants, Tebuconazole 25% wg @750 g/ha, was found highly efficacious by observing lowest per cent disease intensity (8.89% and 12.11%) at 15 days after first foliar spray and 15 days after second foliar spray respectively and maximum yield (645 kg/ha). The combination of Pyraclostrobin 133 g/litre + Epoxiconazole 50 g/litre @750 ml/ha and Tebuconazole 25% wg @500 g/ha also found effective in controlling the cumin blight. While Azoxystrobin 23% sc @500 and 750 g/ha, Thiophanate-methyl 70% wp @750 and 1000 g/ha and Mancozeb 75% wp @1000 g/ha were found least effective.
Biology of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) infesting sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris)
Authors: M SHANTHI , T K NIVETHA , A V MOORTHY , G SRINIVASAN , A GURUSAMY
Published: August 2024

The potential for damage caused by the maize fall armyworm (FAW) varies considerably, ranging from 9.0–62.5% across different seasons and regions in India. This poses a significant threat to the food and nutritional security of numerous farmers in the country. Notably, the FAW has been identified as a new host for sugarbeet, marking the first instance of such an occurrence. A comprehensive examination of the fall armyworm's behaviour in this new host was conducted. The infestation of the FAW in sugarbeet commenced during the seedling stage and persisted until the harvesting phase. During the initial seedling stage, larvae within the rhizosphere region induced defoliation of leaves and inflicted damage to the collar region. This led to the drying of the central shoot, mirroring the symptoms of dead heart, although no scraping symptoms were observed. As the plants entered the vegetative stage, they experienced further defoliation and wilting. In terms of its life cycle, the FAW exhibited distinct stages. The egg stage lasted around 3.2 ± 0.17 days. Larvae generally underwent 6 instars, with durations of 3.8 ± 0.65 days, 3.2 ± 0.90 days, 2.9 ± 0.14 days, 3.1 ± 0.36 days, 3.6 ± 0.24 days, and 6.8 ± 0.74 days for the first to sixth instars, respectively. The overall larval period ranged from 19 to 25 days, with an average of 23.4 ± 3.20 days. The pupal and adult stages lasted approximately 9.3 ± 1.80 days and 11.1 ± 1.94 days, respectively. Consequently, the complete life cycle of the fall armyworm in the sugarbeet, as observed under laboratory conditions, spanned approximately 43.8 ± 6.94 days.

Published: August 2024

Present study was carried out during 2020–21 and 2022–23 at Regional Research Station (CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana), Bawal, Haryana for characterizing 35 distinct ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) genotypes by evaluating their 16 morphological attributes as growth habits, foliage and thorn characteristics. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Among selected genotypes, an upright growth pattern was reported in five genotypes, whereas, the most of the genotypes displayed a semi-erect growth habit. All the genotypes showed tomentose shoot surface. Further, four distinct leaf shapes were documented. Ovate leaf shape was exhibited by 15 genotypes, while 8 genotypes displayed oval and 6 genotypes showed cordate and obovate type leaf each. The maximum leaf blade length (10.63 cm) and width (7.31 cm) was recorded in Thar Sevika, while, the minimum size of leaf blade length was noticed in Sanori (6.95 cm) and width was found in Katha Bombay (3.86 cm). In response to branch thorniness, the less branch thorniness was found in Illaichi, Naki, Umran and Kaithali, while two genotypes revealed high branch thorniness (Tasbtso, Narkali). Only two types of thorn shape were noticed, as out of 35 genotypes, 21 had alternate curved thorn. Based on anthocyanin blush of immature fruit, genotypes Kathaphal, Sanori and Narkali had reddish blush on fruit. Further, theses genotypes were categorized into early, mid and late on the basis of fruit maturity. Six genotypes showed early maturing fruits, while 21 genotypes were mid-season and 8 were late maturing genotypes. The bunch bearing of fruit was noticed only in two genotypes (Jhajjar Selection and BS 2). It is worth highlighting that all these genotypes under study exhibited substantial variability across various morphological traits, which can potentially be attributed to genetic disparities stemming from the diverse ancestral species from which these cultivated genotypes originated.

Uno de los ejes principales del casco histórico de Turín es via Po, caracterizada por dos hileras de fachadas que la delimitan con un ritmo continuo de pórticos y formas arquitectónicas que le confi eren un carácter homogéneo. De esta arteria urbana fundamental se capta el prevalente rigor en la composición, a partir del proyecto elaborado por Amedeo di Castellamonte en el XVII, aunque con muchas deformidades, que defi nen su variedad ambiental con un gran encanto, creado en él uno de los lugares más concurridos de la ciudad. Para entender este doble aspecto y comprender sus origines, carácter y relaciones internas con la imagen de conjunto, es fundamental analizar esta calle a través de la integración entre un levantamiento que abarca desde el aspecto urbano hasta el arquitectónico y el perceptivo. Los resultados pueden ser transmitidos con diversos sistemas de representación y comunicación, desde esquemas a bosquejo a dibujos digitales, o fotografías, que permitan ver mediante las imágenes, las relaciones entre las partes, además de la atmósfera que se percibe en esta calle.

Authors: A. Rufino Michelle
Published: August 2024

This study determined the teacher’s level of stress and teacher’s performance of Zamboanga Central School Sped Center during Covid-19 pandemic in Zamboanga City. The purpose of the study was to measure the different stressors experienced by the 93 teachers of Zamboanga Central School SPED Center and how does it affect their teaching performance during Covid-19 pandemic. The research design used was a descriptive correlational research design with various statistical tools such as descriptive means, Pearson r and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The study revealed that the teacher’s level of stress in terms of relationship with colleagues, professional growth, working condition and student’s behavior is “low stress”. The teachers experienced stress brought about Covid-19 virus but still they could manage stress despite the different changes happening in their workplace. While the teacher’s performance during pandemic is “Very Satisfactory”. It means that the respondents had exceeded the minimum indicators for the said rating period but were not able to achieve the highest requirements for outstanding rating. Age, length of service, educational attainment and the ICT Level were negative predictors of the teacher’s level of stress. On the other hand, indulging in research writing, pursuing a master and doctoral degree, coping with deadline reports were positive predictors of stress of teacher’s. The school officials in the teacher training may intensify and design an intervention training programs specifically LAC sessions for teachers on stress management program.
TRACING MARTIN HEIDEGGER’S ORIGIN OF AUTHENTICITY IN BEING AND TIME
Authors: KIMANI SABAS
Published: August 2024

Since the publication of Sein und Zeit in 1927, scholars have coupled Martin Heidegger’s reflections on authenticity with a rich tradition of thought which reminds us that philosophy can, from time to time, function as a catalyst for self-discovery. While this function is an undeniable feature of Heideggerian authenticity, we suggest that it is secondary to the role that authenticity plays in Heidegger’s philosophical investigations. By analyzing the full phenomena of authenticity and tracing its first technical uses back to Heidegger’s early lectures on Aristotle, we show that Heidegger’s methodological breakthrough in the early 1920s, the development of hermeneutic phenomenology, and the very structure of Being and Time are the result of Heidegger’s appropriation of Aristotle’s philosophical method. By analyzing these lectures and traditionally ignored uses of authenticity in Being and Time, we advance an account of the methodological sense of authenticity which looks to the tradition to uncover phenomena which have been obscured and covered over. In comparing this methodological reading to some standard readings, what we call the existential, intentional, and practical readings of authenticity, we demonstrate that the problems which arise in these accounts can be addressed by considering the full phenomena of authenticity and its methodological role in Heidegger’s thinking. Finally, the term “authenticity [Eigentlichkeit]” is not only an ineliminable part of the structure of Heidegger’s Being and Time but that it is also at the heart of his phenomenological method.
THE ELUCIDATION OF ALBERT CAMUS’ PHILOSOPHY OF ABSURDISM
Authors: Adroit Ngulube Musonda
Published: August 2024

The philosophical concept of absurdism has been one of the difficult notions to understand in a realm of philosophy. It deals mainly with the inherent contradiction between the human longing for meaning in life and the belief that there is no inherent purpose to the universe. According to this philosophy, human life is absurd because people are constantly seeking meaning and purpose in a universe that is irrational. However, one must embrace and experience life despite its inherent absurdity, finding joy and satisfaction in action amidst the futility of existence. This belief system advocates for individuals to identify their own purpose in life, acknowledge the absurdity of reality, and experience joy in living. Nevertheless, individuals use beliefs or ideologies to avoid or reject the harsh realities of life known as philosophical suicide. Philosophical suicide involves religious or spiritual beliefs that pledge eternal life or rebirth, or blind obedience to a specific political or philosophical principle that shields individuals from evil. Ultimately, philosophical suicide can lead to a superficial and thoughtless life without real meaning or purpose. Hence, there is an advocation to rebel. The idea of rebellion is a way to challenge established beliefs and systems of thought. This requires questioning authority, norms and societal expectations in the quest for truth (and/or personal freedom). ‘Rebels’ in philosophy sought to expand human knowledge and understanding by questioning established doctrines and challenging accepted truths. It is an opportunity for innovation and transformation, as it challenges conventional thought while paving the way for human progress and advancement. Therefore, a rebel must be resilient in whatever decision he makes. Resilience is the ability of a person to recover from failure, overcome obstacles, and adapt to change. It is all about having the inner strength, the means and the attitude to rise above challenges. Hence, for one to build a life worth living, he or she must possess resilience, which is the belief of perseverance, courage, and self-awareness.
Review of Numerical Methods for Analyzing the Progressive Collapse of Concrete Structures
Authors: Jasim majed Dur Al-huda , M. Rasheed Mohammed
Published: August 2024

Construction accidents have been documented throughout history. One type of failure mechanism is progressive collapse, in which one or more structural components fail suddenly without regard to the cause (attack, anomalous accident). Numerous methods have been employed to simulate the impacts of this phenomenon. Still, they are all predicated on some distinct premises, such as the procedure's independence from the root cause of the first failure or the order in which the pressures are applied. To analyze framed building structures in the event of a column loss caused by an extreme event, this paper evaluates and offers an overview of the numerical analytical tools and approaches that are now available. In the literature, there has been a discussion of the applied element method, the discrete element method, and the finite element method. They were thoroughly discussed and contrasted. This study investigates and ends with challenges that must be resolved in many areas that will be required in the future.

The Concept and Practice of Democracy in Zimbabwe: A Call for Consensual Democracy
Authors: Chitambo Mberikwazvo Ian , Kiruki Joseph Kahiga , Kimani Sabas
Published: August 2024

With the coming of independence, a new form of governance: majoritarian democracy was adopted in Zimbabwe just as it was suggested as the best in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. The British rule that influenced the adoption of majoritarian democracy in Zimbabwe argued that it enables transparency and fosters checks and balances on corruption. We argue that, in a democratic system, functioning from a majoritarian perspective, there ought to be space of enjoying freedoms and rights. There ought to be sufficient representation and contribution of citizens in democratic procedures and organisations. For many, a good democratic system should speak to their bread and butter issues: their socio-economic well-being. However, these have not been enjoyed by the masses in Zimbabwe. The political atmosphere is a sad one; politics is practised for the sake of gaining power and controlboth in the ruling and opposition parties, something that is immanent in multiparty under majoritarian democracy. This study seeks to outline these ills and address them with a suggestion of embracing consensual democracy as it was conceptualised by Kwasi Wiredu. The central argument is that democratisation has failed due to a well curated system that seem to prioritise rivalry in politics as opposed to nation building. The study suggests that consensual democracy can address persistent political ills in contemporary Zimbabwe and build a unified and prosperous nation. The essential tenets that can enable this emanate from a historical record of political thought in indigenous Zimbabwe, characterised by the conceptualisation of rational deliberation in decision-making and inclusiveness: a consensual system in politics.

Eficacia de las políticas de gestión pública en la mejora de la calidad educativa en zonas rurales de la sierra centro de Ecuador
Authors: Hurtado Ramirez Richarth Adrian
Published: August 2024

Este estudio analiza la eficacia de las políticas de gestión pública en la mejora de la calidad educativa en las zonas rurales de la sierra central del Ecuador. A través de un enfoque mixto, que combina métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos, se evalúa el impacto de las políticas implementadas en las provincias de Bolívar, Cotopaxi, Tungurahua y Chimborazo. Los resultados muestran avances significativos en el acceso y equidad educativa, pero persisten desafíos relacionados con la infraestructura escolar, el acceso a recursos tecnológicos y la necesidad de una formación continua para los docentes. La investigación revela que la percepción de la calidad educativa es variable entre estudiantes y docentes, destacando áreas de mejora en la implementación de políticas.  El acceso desigual a recursos educativos, especialmente tecnológicos, limita la adopción de metodologías de enseñanza modernas. La participación moderada en programas y actividades escolares sugiere la necesidad de diversificar y fortalecer estas iniciativas para mejorar el rendimiento académico y el desarrollo integral de los estudiantes. La educación intercultural bilingüe emerge como una estrategia efectiva para mejorar la inclusión y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes indígenas. Sin embargo, la variabilidad en la satisfacción con la infraestructura educativa subraya la necesidad de inversiones continuas para crear entornos de aprendizaje efectivos y seguros.

Introduction: Animal hoarding cases are complex sources of shelter intake. Cases require significant planning, collaboration, and resources, often from multiple responding organizations. Study objectives included description of cat hoarding cases in New York City not criminally pursued, case outcomes when managed by a spay/neuter and relinquishment program utilizing a collaborative approach with caregivers, and characteristics or interventions leading to better outcomes.
Methods: Data were extracted from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal’s Community Engagement (CE) case files. Eligible cases were retrieved using a keyword search and screened for inclusion criteria. Client demographics, case factors, and outcomes were described with descriptive statistics. Data were further analyzed using adjusted logistic regression models to investigate variables predictive of outcomes.
Results: The study population included 79 cases with a median population size of 22 cats. The majority of clients were female, lived alone, and had high levels of social vulnerability. Object hoarding was reported in 29.1% of cases and unsanitary conditions in 68.4% of cases. Almost one-third (30.4%) identified as rescuers or community cat caregivers. At the time of the first interaction with CE, 88.6% of clients were interested in spay/neuter and 76.0% in surrender services. Social service agencies were involved in the initial CE intervention in 26.4% of cases.
Successful outcomes were defined as cases in which clients were left with a manageable population of cats, or all cats were removed. Successful outcomes were achieved in 67.1% of cases after the first CE intervention. Recidivism occurred in 41.5% of these cases. Clients who showed an initial interest in surrender were 10 times more likely (OR 10.0, P = 0.014) to experience a successful outcome than clients not interested in surrender. Significant predictors of re-collection included clients identifying as rescuers (OR 4.8, P = 0.039) and the involvement of human service agencies during or after the CE intervention (OR 6.1, P = 0.041).
Conclusion: Results demonstrate animal hoarding cases involving cooperative caregivers and rescuers can be successfully managed by programs using a collaborative approach with clients. The high rates of initial interest in spay/neuter and surrender in caregivers suggest a need to expand access to veterinary care and strategically manage case intake into shelters. Further interdisciplinary research is needed on how mental health, social service, and animal service providers can attain successful outcomes long-term and reduce recidivism in animal hoarding cases.

The Function of Inland Shipping on Economic Supporting Activities of the South Kalimantan Community 1980-2000
Authors: Muhammad Rico
Published: August 2024

The main problem examined in this research is how the function of inland shipping is to support the economic activities of the people of South Kalimantan in 1950-1970 The results of the research show that the river network has become the economic lifeblood of the population where most of their economic activities are carried out through and on rivers due to shipping activities. Rivers cannot be separated from their role as trade routes. River shipping has an important role in transporting trade goods. Agricultural products and forest products are one of the main commodities transported via river shipping. As a means of traffic, rivers play a role in opening up the isolation of inland areas that cannot be passed by land. The method used in this research uses the historical method through the Heuristic stage (data collection), internal and external criticism of the data obtained, interpretation and historiography of historical writing based on the data that has been obtained according to the researcher's objectives. The novelty of this research is that previous research only revealed the phenomenon of river shipping broadly, then this research focuses on the economic sector. It can be concluded that with the times and the rapid development of technology, the transportation sector has developed. The widespread development of land transportation facilities by creating land roads and bridges to connect between regions can shorten distances and travel times. However, it even has an impact on the economic sector through water transportation routes.
Asszisztált reprodukció újragondolva

Following the implementation of state oversight of human reproductive procedures in 2020, several regulations have been introduced to mitigate potential issues. To enhance patient care and alleviate the workload of IVF centres, a network of specialized infertility outpatient clinics will be established alongside existing centres of assisted reproduction. These changes aim to address the challenges faced by infertility centres and improve the chances of patients having children. The policy currently allows for up to five insurance-funded treatment cycles, while cryopreserved embryo transfers are not subject to a specific limit. Furthermore, the previous three-month waiting period between treatment cycles has been eliminated, and restrictions on the number of embryos that can be implanted have been implemented. Limiting the number of embryos transferred during IVF procedures is a common practice aimed at reducing the risks associated with multiple pregnancies. By allowing only one embryo for the first transfer up to the age of 36, especially when transferred on day five of embryonic development, this initiative prioritizes the health and safety of both the mother and potential offspring. It helps to minimize the chances of complications such as preterm birth and low birth weight, which are more common with multiple pregnancies. Additionally, it can improve the overall success rates of IVF by focusing on the quality of the transferred embryo rather than the quantity. The Hungarian government anticipates that these measures will enhance the success rates of IVF treatments, consequently leading to a rise in future childbirths and a decrease in the number of frozen embryos. This study aims to delineate the effectiveness of the introduced changes in 2023 and provide recommendations accordingly.

Sociologia da relação com o mundo: fundamentos críticos e fenomenológicos da obra de Hartmut rosa
Authors: Guedes Eduardo Rosa , Storch Laura Strelow
Published: August 2024

O artigo analisa a obra do sociólogo alemão Hartmut Rosa, tendo como foco os fundamentos críticos e fenomenológicos da relação entre a modernidade e a aceleração social. A partir de uma abordagem teórica baseada na teoria crítica e na fenomenologia, Rosa busca compreender as implicações da aceleração social na vida coletiva e nas dinâmicas sociais. Para tanto, discutimos em detalhes as três fases da obra de Rosa: aceleração, alienação e ressonância, relacionando-as com a teoria crítica e a fenomenologia. Buscamos definir o seu projeto teórico como uma sociologia da relação com o mundo a partir dos processos de aceleração do tempo social, elaborado em uma tensão dinâmica entre alienação e ressonância.
Condições de trabalho e satisfação do trabalhador
Authors: Lazzareschi Noêmia
Published: August 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar que as formas de organização do processo de trabalho incidem sobre a satisfação dos trabalhadores, e, em consequência, determinam, em grande parte, as possibilidades de sucesso ou fracasso das empresas. Eficácia e eficiência empresariais dependem   muito mais da eficácia e eficiência do desempenho das funções do conjunto dos trabalhadores do que da modernização tecnológica e organizacional. Trabalhadores que encontram no trabalho a oportunidade de realização de suas potencialidades de inteligência, criatividade, espírito crítico e  iniciativa  trabalham mais e melhor por que nele encontram a oportunidade de crescimento pessoal e profissional e satisfazem   suas necessidades de autoestima e autorealização, e, por isso,  garantem a eficácia e eficiência empresariais, tal como demonstraram as pesquisas dos autores que fundamentam este artigo.  Este é o desafio do capital: motivar o trabalhador para o trabalho a fim de reduzir a sua resistência às condições capitalistas de trabalho e fazê-lo “colaborar”.
