Published: May 2022

One of the factors that have an impact on increasing maternal mortality (AKI) is the risk of 4 too. The percentage of mothers who die who give birth under the age of 20 years and over 35 years is 33% of all maternal deaths, so if the birth control program can be implemented properly again, likely 33% of maternal deaths can likely be prevented through the use of contraception. This research aims to know relations knowledge of mothers' Post Partum with an interest in Installing Intrauterine Devices s (IUD) in the Unaaha Health Center Working Area. Type of analytical research with cross-sectional. The population in this study was all Post Partum mothers in October 2021 with a sample number of 30 people. Showed enough knowledge as 13 respondents (43.3%), knowledgeable as many as 9 respondents (30%), and knowledgeable less than as many as 8 respondents (26.7%). While those who are interested in installing AKDR as many as 17 respondents (56.7) and those who are not interested as many as 13 respondents (43.3%). Based on the results of the chi-square test, the test shows p-value = 0.009, so that the p-value is 0.009< α = 0.05. There is a relationship between mothers' Post Partum knowledge and their Interest in Intrauterine Devices s (IUD) in the Unaaha Health Center Working Area in 2021.

Authors: Marzia Fathima Mohammad
Published: May 2022

Background: preeclampsia is a unique multisystem disorder of pregnancy leading to increased Maternal mortality in India accounting for 9 % of all maternal deaths.The search for an ideal predictive test for preeclampsia still remains a major challenge for obstetrians. Early diagnosis and management improves maternal and fetal outcome. Objectives: 1)To detect raised levels of serum uric acid during first trimester for early diagnosis and management. 2) To determine the diagnostic efficiency of uric acid as a predictive marker for severity of Preeclampsia. Methods And Methodology: Our study is a prospective cohort study including 200 pregnants attending for regular antenatal checkups in first trimester at our out patient Department during October 2020 to july 2021. After obtaining Informed consent,the selected pregnants were investigated for serum uric acid levels by auto analyser along with other routine blood investigations.These pregnants were regularly followed up once in 4 weeks for 28 weeks then once in two weeks till their delivery for healthy mother and healthy baby outcome. Results: In study, serum uric acid analysis in first trimester for 200 pregnants revealed 92 pregnants had levels >4.2 mg/dl of which 59 were normotensive and 33 pregnants were pre eclamptic. Remaining 108 pregnants had levels <4.2mg/dl. In my study risk for both maternal and fetal complications assessed with serum uric acid levels was P value is 0.0001 which is statistically significant Serum uric acid test Positive (n=92)>4.2 mg/dl Negative (n=108) <4.2mg/dl Preeclampsia frequency Percentage frequency Percentage Absent 59 64 99 91.7 Mild 16 17.4 6 5.6 Severe 16 16.3 3 2.8 Eclampsia 02 2.2 0 0 Conclusion: Assessment of elevated serum uric acid in first trimester was associated with later preeclampsia.

VALUE ADDED TAX AND ECONOMIC GROWTH OF NIGERIA (A CRITICAL APPRAISAL)
Authors: A. Sylvester Ozigbo
Published: May 2022

This research is focused on the impact of Value Added Tax on Economic Growth in Nigeria. It covers the period between
1999 and 2019.Secondary data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin as well as Nigeria Bureau of
Statistics were utilized. The ordinary least square estimating technique was adopted. The result revealed that
Government expenditure,Investment and Value Added Tax were statistically significant to changes in Economic Growth
in Nigeria. However,human capital development was not statistically significant to changes in Economic growth with in
the period covered by the study. It was therefore recommended that even though Value Added Tax is marginally
significant to changes in economic growth,government should not increase it to fund annual budget.Government is also
advised to increase acquisition of skills of its labour force to boost human capital segment. Also government should
increase capital expenditure which is the productive aspect of her annual expenditure instead of the usual lion share
given to recurrent expenditure in annual budget. This is the only way economic growth can be sustainable in Nigeria.

Authors: Ubrangala Rachana Kishore , Ravishankar A.G.
Published: May 2022

In patients with End Stage Liver Disease (ESLD) with ascites,Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a complication with grave
prognosis.Doppler evaluation of Renal Resistive Index (RRI) is a simple way of prognostication of patients with high risk
of developing HRS.We evaluated 50 consecutive cirrhosis patients with ascites who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and
measured RRI index on admission and found that it is a reliable marker of progression to HRS and predicting the renal
function at 3 months.
Methods: 50 patients of liver cirrhosis from K R Hospital,Mysuru,who met the inclusion criteria were
studied from January 2018 to June 2019. Detailed history and physical examination were done. Liver function, renal
function test,PT-INR,ultrasound abdomen including RRI was done.Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score and Model for End
stage Liver Disease (MELD) score were calculated.
Results: This study included 50 subjects with liver cirrhosis.In our study,5 of the patients (10%) developed HRS during
the follow up period of 3 months.3 of them showed increased RRI (>0.7),while 2 of them showed normal RRI (p < 0.002).
In those subjects with a normal creatinine during follow up,RRI was elevated in 8 % of the subjects (p < 0.002).Mean RRI
in subjects who developed HRS was 0.77 ± 0.11.Mean RRI in patients who did not have HRS was 0.61 ± 0.04.
Interpretation and conclusion:
In our study, we noted that intrarenal Resistive Index values measured at the time of admission were significantly
increased in cirrhotic patients who developed HRS during the 3 months follow up period.

COVID-19 (novel coronavirus disease 2019), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has various clinical manifestations and several pathogenic pathways. Although several therapeutic options have been used to control COVID-19, none of these medications have been proven to be a definitive cure. Transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) is a protease that has a key role in the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells. Following the binding of the viral spike (S) protein to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors of the host cells, TMPRSS2 processes and activates the S protein on the epithelial cells. As a result, the membranes of the virus and host cell fuse. Bromhexine is a specific TMPRSS2 inhibitor that potentially inhibits the infectivity cycle of SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, several clinical trials are evaluating the efficacy of bromhexine in COVID-19 patients. The findings of these studies have shown that bromhexine is effective in improving the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 and has prophylactic effects by inhibiting TMPRSS2 and viral penetration into the host cells. Bromhexine alone cannot cure all of the symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, it could be an effective addition to control and prevent the disease progression along with other drugs that are used to treat COVID-19. Further studies are required to investigate the efficacy of bromhexine in COVID-19.
The hidden government, or Who runs the United States?
Authors: Senchenko Mykola
Published: May 2022

The situation in the United States after Trump's victory raises questions about the independence of American presidents and calls into question the claim that the country's model of life should be taken as a model. Is America truly a democracy where a president elected by the people carries out his will within the current Constitution?
The article analyzes the current political and economic situation in the United States and concludes that there is a "deep state" that is trying to seize control of the country from the president-elect.
The preconditions for the emergence of a "deep state" that exists not because of a conspiratorial conspiracy, but only because at some point in history in the country's leadership there was an idea to protect the mechanism of governance from instant policy changes. It is the upper and middle strata of the civil service that set in motion the real mechanism of state power, which operates under the name of the "federal government." It is the bureaucracy that controls and often modifies the policies pursued by political leaders legally elected by the country's population. This apparatus, created to carry out the president's decisions, originally had another purpose — to limit his power and maintain a system of "restrictions and balances" of government.

CORRELATIONAL ANALYSIS BETWEEN APPROXIMATE NUMERICAL ESTIMATE AND MATH ABILITIES: A STUDY WITH FIRST-GRADE SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors: Mielo Eduardo Guimarães , do Prado Paulo Sérgio Teixeira
Published: May 2022

"The number sense has two characteristics: subitizing – the immediate and error-free recognition of numbers from one to three, without counting – and the ability to discriminate between numbers with values greater than the subitizable ones. Without counting, this type of discrimination is done by approximate estimate, from which a numerical approximation system is inferred. Although the approximate numerical estimate is considered innate, it is influenced by factors such as the ratio between the sets to be compared, external factors, in addition to its increasing accuracy with age. This cognitive ability has been identified as a “predictor” for academic achievement in mathematics. The presented research aimed to investigate the existence of a correlation between the approximate number estimate and math skills in first-grade school children. The study was carried out with 34 children aged between six and seven years old. Their math skills were measured using the Test of Early Mathematical Abilities (TEMA-3), which was administered following the protocol, designed to measure general formal and non-formal math skills of children from 3 to 8 years-old. The approximate number estimate was measured using Panamath – a software that managed the discrimination task –, consisting of comparisons of several pairs of sets, indicating the largest. The exposure time of the stimuli was set at 1200 ms and the ratio of the difference between the sets was systematically varied. The results showed an ease of distinction based on the proportions of the sets in the numerical approximation system test. This study investigated the possibility of a correlation between performance in the number sense activity with those of mathematical skills, as it is assumed that the greater the child's sensitivity to differentiating the proportions between sets, the better his performance in solving the mathematical problems addressed, accordingly to previous studies. Even though the Pearson’s correlation coefficient was 0.31 (p = 0.07, a little higher than accepted), the value indicates a moderate to weak correlation and a possible prediction in mathematical abilities based on performance in the numerical discrimination task, although there are other variables to consider in the mathematical development. The approximate number system test can be used as a tool to do and initial track of children who might experience problems in developing math skills."
UNDERSTANDING THE COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGICAL OWNERSHIP AND ORGANISATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOURS DURING COVID19 CRISIS
Authors: Bordarie Jimmy , Grouille Romuald
Published: May 2022

"The Covid-19 crisis has forced many employees to telework (TLW). TLW can eventually generate a feeling of professional isolation (PI) for some workers and the higher the TLW, the higher the feeling of PI (Golden, 2008). PI is known to have negative impacts on organisational and teleworker outcomes such as job satisfaction (e.g., Bentley et al., 2016) or the adoption of organisational citizenship behaviours (OCBs) (Mulki and Jaramillo, 2011). OCBs are largely influenced by the organisational psychological ownership (OPO) (Zhang et al., 2021) which also influences organisational identification (ORI) (Van Dyne & Pierce, 2004). Yet, the relationship between ORI and OPO seems to be quite complex, considering for instance that OPO predicts the intention to leave the organisation while ORI does not (Knapp et al., 2014). Thus, this relationship deserves special attention for its implication in the OPO/OCBs relationship. Furthermore, the binding dimension of TLW is likely to have had complex consequences and may imply a feeling of PI, the moderating role of which in the OPO/OCBs relationship could be interesting to study. The study population consisted of 185 participants, divided into 77.3% women and 22.7% men. The questionnaire included a measure of OPO (4 items), ORI (5), OCBs (6) and PI (7). Results showed that ORI is a mediator of the OPO and OCBs relationship (?=.1136; p=.0199; LLCI*=.0182 and ULCI**=.2089) and ORI explains 11.3% of the variance. The analysis reveals a full mediation since OPO does not predict OCBs anymore when ORI is integrated (p < .084). They also showed that PI moderates the relationship between OPO and OCBs (?=.0911; p=.0314; LLCI*=.0082 and ULCI**=.1739) and that explains 2.1% of the variance. First of all, this study reveals the relationship between OPO and OCBs is quite complex since it is both mediated by ORI and also moderated by PI. The results may seem contradictory as they show that a high level of OPO combined with a high level of PI leads to a high level of OCBs; while we could have imagined the opposite with high levels of PI. The discussion will focus on two eventual explanations: seeking more relational closeness through OCBs and compensating the fear of being perceived as not working enough (Taskin & Edwards, 2007)."
SUCCESSFUL AGING: THE CONTRIBUTION OF PERSONALITY VARIABLES
Authors: Van Dendaele Elina , Pothier Kristell , Bailly Nathalie
Published: May 2022

"Understanding social, economic, and psychological factors are important for promoting elderly health. Rowe and Kahn (1997) described three main components for ""successful aging"" (SA): avoiding disability and disease, high cognitive and physical capacities, and active engagement in one's life. Psychological dimensions (i.e., personality) have not been sufficiently studied yet. However, they could be considered to define SA. This study aimed to determine whether physical, cognitive, social, and personality factors were associated with SA. A total of 2109 participants living at home (53.39% men; mage =75,38±8.11) – from the Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE dataset release 7.0.0 of 2017) – completed questionnaires measuring physical (mobility, number of diseases, IADL, BMI) and cognitive (memory, executive function) health, social engagement, and personality (Big Five Inventory). These variables were gathered into three distinct blocks: sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex), model’s Rowe and Kahn variables (physical, cognitive, social engagement), and personality. SA was assessed by the Euro depression scale. A correlation matrix was computed to examine the interrelationships between all variables. We then performed linear regression analysis when it was appropriate. A higher level of motor and cognitive abilities correlated with a lower level of depressive symptoms (r=0.34; p<.001; r=-.20; p<.001; r=-.17; p<.001). The number of diseases was positively correlated with depressive symptoms (r=0.26; p<.001). The more engaged people were, the fewer depressive symptoms they had (r=0.09; p=.019). An effect of the level of education on depressive symptoms (F(5,847)= 7.06; p<.001) was found: people with a higher educational level had a lower depression score than those with a lower educational level. A lower level of neuroticism, higher level of agreeableness, and conscientiousness were significantly correlated with a lower level of depressive symptoms (r=0.41; p<.001; r=-.09; p<.028; r=-.08; p=.028). Linear regression analyses showed that personality variables explained 11% of the variance of depression scores, beyond sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex) (9%) and variables in the Rowe and Kahn model (10%). The three blocks, all together, explained 29% of the variance of the depression scores. In line with Rowe and Kahn’s model (1997), results showed that physical, cognitive, and social factors from the SHARE study partially explained SA (i.e., absence of depressive symptoms here). Interestingly, personality variables also explained a significant proportion of depressive symptoms. Personality may have an important role in addressing SA: adapting the care as well as the prevention to encourage the elderly to engage in physical, social, or cognitive activities."

"Understanding the processes by which children acquire language so quickly and effortless is one of the most important issues that science is still trying to answer today. Several approaches have been adopted. From early observational studies involving the collection of data from a small number of children through parental diaries to large scale cross-sectional and longitudinal studies involving the collection of different measures of receptive and productive language skills from children at different developmental stages, recent studies, adopting an experimental approach, have taken advantage of noninvasive brain activity measures to get new insights into one of the most amazing human skills. In this work, we present event-related potentials (ERP) data collected from 24 children while they were exposed to a continuous auditory stream made of the repetition of three-syllable nonsense words with different levels of predictability (high vs. low) under implicit and explicit conditions, to illustrate how the use of brain monitoring techniques can provide exciting data into the processes and mechanisms underlying language acquisition."

"This paper presents the procedure of the Polish adaptation of the Brief Measure of Relationship Importance (BMRI; Watkins & Beckmeyer, 2020) designed to assess young adults’ beliefs about the values and costs of being in romantic relationships. The adaptation of the BMRI involved the following steps: 1) the translation of the original BMRI into the Polish language by three independent translators and the back-translation by three other independent translators; 2) the assessment of the equivalence of the Polish translation of BMRI in a study involving a sample of 38 bilingual university students and 3) the pilot study performed in a sample of 192 participants (144 women and 48 men aged 18-53 with a mean age of 26.35). The performed analyses provided evidence for the two-factor structure of the Polish BMRI with two factors – relationship desire and relationship dismissal (CFI = .94; TLI = .91, SRMR = .04; RMSEA = .10 [90% CI; .07, .14]), and satisfactory internal consistency of both subscales assessed using McDonald’s omega (.71 for relationship desire and .82 for relationship dismissal). No gender differences were observed in regard to relationship desire, F(1,190) = 0.51, p = .476 and relationship dismissal, F(1,190) = 3.13, p = .079. Furthermore, differences emerged between single and coupled individuals in the domain of relationship desire, F(1,190) = 64.73, p < .001 with single individuals reporting lower relationship desire than coupled individuals; and in the domain of relationship dismissal, F(1,190) = 57.43, p < .001 with single individuals reported higher relationship dismissal. In conclusion, the Polish version of the BMRI is a reliable measure of adult people’s romantic relationship attitudes, which requires further assessment."
DIFFERENCES IN CHILDREN EMOTIONAL VALENCE RATINGS OF WORDS AND PICTURES
Authors: Belmon Johanne , Noyer-Martin Magali , Jhean-Larose Sandra
Published: May 2022

"Words and pictures stimuli are often used in study of perception, language, and memory. More and more studies are being done on how emotional words or pictures influence different cognitive processing. However, the emotional rating process of these stimuli has rarely been studied in young children. Especially, no study has investigated emotional rating process on pre-schoolers. This research examines how young children process emotional words and pictures stimuli. More precisely, we measured age (4, 5, and 6-years-old) and sex differences (girls and boys) in emotional valence rating of pictures and words. A corpus of 90 words and 90 pictures was selected from among the emotional databases compiled by Alario & Ferrand (1999), Bonin et al. (2003), Cannard et al. (2006) Syssau & Monnier (2009). This corpus was rated by 92 French children (28 four-years-old children, 16 girls and 12 boys; 34 five-years-old children, 14 girls and 20 boys; and 30 six-years-old children, 13 girls and 17 boys). These ratings were made using a three points emotional valence rating scale (negative, neutral, and positive) based on AEJE scale (Largy, 2018). To keep the rating task simple for the children, the scale labels were using drawings of faces. The 90 Words and 90 pictures were divided in sets of 15 stimuli. Each child rated all sets of stimuli in separate sessions. These sessions were in a random order between words and pictures stimuli sets. Good response reliability was observed in the three age groups. We assessed age differences in the valence ratings: Four-year-old children shown lower mean scores in valence rating (positive, neutral, and negative) than did five-year-old ones who shown lower mean scores in valence rating than did six-year-old ones. Despite a lack of consensus in the literature, we found sex differences in the valence ratings. Girls in each age groups shown higher mean scores in valence rating than did boys. Moreover, results shown a significant difference between pictures and words ratings. Children better rated words than pictures in each age group and sex. Besides, analyses revealed significant differences in emotional valence rating between negative, neutral, and positive words and pictures stimuli. Positive words and pictures stimuli were better rated by children than negative ones which were better rated than neutral ones. Future research will compile this corpus in a database, and it could become a worthwhile tool to control emotional verbal and visual stimuli in experimental design for children."
EMOTIONAL LANGUAGE-PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED 50 YEARS ON
Authors: Sadownik Stephanie A.
Published: May 2022

"Paulo Freire popularized the Portuguese term conscientização, in his work Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970). The term represents a growth mindset that is continually developing criticality through consciousness. Freire believed education would benefit from students questioning teachers to develop meaning-making and clarity of rationale. Paulo Freire coined the phrase, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, with his ground-breaking and inspirational view of the education system in 1970. His book noted students as oppressed by an education system by singling out the teacher-student relationship and offered insight into policy changes and approaches to teaching that considered student-centered education and the development of student discourse. Fifty years later, this paper presents a critical investigation of the impact of technology devices used in education among vulnerable and marginalized populations as a highly significant and needed focus, given the rapidly increasing reliance on internet-based technologies across the increasingly diverse communities comprising our public educational system. Current school technology agreements and poorly worded surveillance policies may silence vulnerable and marginalized populations voice or agency for students challenged by past trauma, lived experiences, emotion dysregulation or specifically a Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD). Teachers, administrators, technology staff and school board members were asked questions related to their understanding of policies related to technology and surveillance of devices such as laptops, cell phones, iPads and school sponsored BYOD programs. The information collected served as an indicator for which to measure the content knowledge and experience of the participants as well as the individual perceived goals or intentions of the participants school in relation to surveillance of staff and students. Data collected during the study indicated surveillance is attributed to five themes: well-being, assessment, policy, security, punitive. Key findings included: an assumption that school technology agreements included the use of personal devices and schools may not uniquely identify inappropriate behaviour. Additionally, assumptions informed the personal use of technology during school hours with administrators and IT staff referencing general larger district acceptable use policies assumed to be accepted as applicable to all technology equipment and general use. Assumptions regarding the enforcement of the technology agreement applications to personally owned cell phones at school, were enforced during tests; and considered generally accepted privacy concerns by students and staff related to the inappropriate recording of others through taking pictures; video; but extending to accessing social media. Finally, IT staff and administration shared parental concerns of the surveillance of students on Google and phones."

"Religiosity is an inclination to find meaning and purpose of life in order to live an integrated life. Religiosity provides goals and value system, which shapes different aspects of life and enhances mental health and happiness. The objective of this paper is to review the relevance of education for mental health, happiness and religiosity in different Indian environmental context. Four hundred subjects from rural and urban population residing in various location of India were administered Oxford Happiness inventory test, WHO-QOL questionnaires and Religious orientation questionnaire. Multivariate ANOVA performed on differentiation scores revealed significant effects. Findings reveal that significant differences emerged in QOL, Happiness and Religiosity as a function of education, where less educated have higher degree of happiness and religiosity than highly educated participants. Education effect was statistically significant on Religiosity, Quality of Life and Happiness. The data suggests a strong trend in the expected direction. The findings have been discussed in terms of the characteristic education patterns of Indian subcontinent."
ACCULTURATION, PARENTING PRACTICES AND THE TRANSMISSION OF CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS VALUES IN MUSLIM IMMIGRANT FAMILIES
Authors: El Brashy Dalia , Miglietta Anna
Published: May 2022

"Acculturation is a complex and dynamic process associated with various difficulties and challenges that play a major role in raising children. This is especially true for Muslim immigrant families where instilling traditional values and a strong sense of ethnic and religious identity is a primary aspect of the parenting process. This study addresses the process of cultural negotiation undertaken by immigrant Muslim parents and analyses how it affects their children's education and parenting practices. Eleven Muslim immigrant adults with children, settled in Italy from an average of 25 years (F= 9; mean age= 48) participated to a semi-structured interview about their experiences of raising their children in relation to their origins and Italian culture. Atlas-ti was used for thematic analysis. The results showed that the educational role of parents in these families is challenged by the difficulty of finding a match between the traditional model of education and the mainstream model. This difficulty intertwines with the one related to the need to reconcile different needs, namely, the need to preserve and transmit religious and cultural values, and the need to adapt to the values that they and their children learn through interaction with the plural society. In response to this challenge, parents seem to prefer separation as an acculturation strategy, in terms of the content of traditional and religious values, while maintaining a negotiating space for these values. Instead, in teaching these values, they have moved increasingly closer to the Italian model of parenting, which is based on flexibility and dialogue, thus adopting integration in the field of parenting strategies. This research was the preliminary phase of an intervention project aimed at empowering the Islamic community of Turin, Italy, to support families in practicing intentional parenting in order to address the challenges related to the migratory context. In other words, to promote the acquisition of parenting skills that can meet both children's identity needs and parents' needs for appreciation and cultural transmission, and also prevent problems and psychological distress caused by cultural conflicts. It emerged from both the research and the intervention project that the need to develop a model of ""parenting in migration"" is shared by the entire Muslim community and requires a collective and collaborative effort to promote this process by creating spaces for discussion and by activating the resources available in the community that can guide and accompany parents in difficulty in their educational role, creating synergies with the services offered by the territory."
CAN PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT PROTECT AGAINST EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION IN SMART WORKERS? A LONGITUDINAL STUDY
Authors: Girardi Damiano , Dal Corso Laura , Arcucci Elvira , Di Sipio Annamaria , Falco Alessandra
Published: May 2022

"The ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 is deeply affecting the way people work, with changes concerning the labor market (e.g., increasing unemployment), work practices (e.g., smart working), the emergence of new risk factors (e.g., the perceived risk of infection at work) and the accentuation of traditional ones (e.g., workload). In this study, we investigated whether smart working (SW) could affect the well-known association between the perceived characteristics of the work environment and workers' health and well-being. More specifically, building on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model we hypothesized that workload and perceived social support (PSS), as relevant job demands and resources (i.e., risk and protective factors), may be associated with emotional exhaustion (EE) over time. We also hypothesized that working condition, that is, smart vs in-person working, may affect these longitudinal relationships. We expected the positive association between workload and EE to be stronger, while the negative association between PSS and EE to be weaker, for smart workers. A longitudinal study was carried out in a sample of workers from different organizations in Italy (N = 292). Participants completed an online questionnaire between the end of October 2020 and the first half of November 2020 (i.e., T1) and four months later (i.e., T2). Workload and PSS were measured at T1 using scales taken from the Qu-Bo Test and the SAPH@W Questionnaire, respectively, two instruments standardized for the Italian context. Emotional exhaustion was assessed at T2 using the scale taken from the Italian adaptation of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The hypothesized relationships were tested using moderated multiple regression. Workload at T1 was positively associated with EE at T2, whereas the association between PSS at T1 and EE at T2 was negative. Furthermore, SW moderated the association between PSS and EE, which was negative and significant for in-person workers, but non-significant for smart workers. Our study confirmed that, in line with the JD-R, workload and PSS can be conceived as risk and protective factors for EE, respectively. Interestingly, when considering the moderating role of SW, results showed that, to date, PSS may not be a valuable job resource for smart workers. Hence, although SW has proved useful and sometimes necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic, possible negative aspects of SW as implemented in the pandemic-related emergency (e.g., social separation and work-to-family conflict) need to be carefully considered. In terms of prevention, supervisors should be encouraged to foster a sense of belonging, trust and results-based management."
ETHICAL CLIMATE IN ORGANIZATION AND EMPLOYEES ACCEPTANCE OF CORRUPTIVE RATIONALIZATIONS
Authors: Majstorović Nebojša , Petrović Ivana B.

"The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between the organizational ethical climate and the level of employees’ acceptance of certain types of corruptive rationalizations. The ethical climate refers to the perception of ethical criteria and practices an organization applies to determine what constitutes acceptable work behavior (Victor & Cullen 1988). Previous studies indicate the link between certain types of organizational ethical climate and employees’ engagement in corruption (Gorsira et al., 2018; Stachowicz-Stanusch and Simha, 2013). Corruptive rationalizations are defined as self-serving attempts to legitimate ethically questionable behavior (Ashforth & Anand, 2003). On an ad hoc sample of 306 employees from different organizations in the Republic of Serbia, an online questionnaire was applied for data collecting on the perception of the organizational ethical climate. ?CQ (Victor & Cullen, 1988) with 36 items was administered to estimate the presence of seven types of ethical climate with Cronbach’s ? ranging between 0.69 to 0.85. Kopter-2 (Majstorovic, 2011; ?= 0.72) with 18 items was applied to measure preference of six corruptive rationalizations measured here – denial illegality, denial responsibility, denial victim, denial injury, social weighting and appeal to higher loyalties. MRA reveals results indicating the perception of an egoistic ethical climate (‘Self-interest’) as a significant predictor of increased preference of four of six types of corruptive rationalizations (denial illegality, denial responsibility, social weighting and appeal to higher loyalties). In addition, increased perception of the ‘Company profit’ climate predicts increased acceptance of the ‘Denial victim’ rationalization. All other types of ethical climate predict either diminished preference for any form of corruptive rationalization or they are unrelated to them. It should be emphasized that ethical climates from the ‘Benevolence’ cluster such as ‘Social responsibility’, ‘Friendship’, and ‘Team interest’ predict rejecting ‘Denial responsibility’, ‘Denial injury’, and ‘Social weighting’ as rationalizations of a corruptive act. It was concluded that some types of ethical climate support corruption. If the typical decision-making criterion in an organization is perceived to be individual and local, and if the dominant ethical criterion is perceived to be egoism, then this organizational context probably generates employees’ acceptance of justification of their corruptive intentions or acts. Results also indicate that ‘Personal morality’ and ‘Organizational rules and regulations’ types of ethical climate are unrelated to the preference of any kind of corruptive rationalization. The importance of organizational interventions, such as promotion of social responsibility, friendship and team interests in the anti-corruption campaign, is discussed."
