Exploring the role of emotional intelligence and gender in faculty burnout
Publication . Pooja; Ribeiro, Neuza
Purpose
The paper studies the impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on the burnout of the faculty members. The moderating role of gender on the relationship between the variables, especially with respect to the faculty members in higher education institutions (HEIs) in India, has largely remained unexplored. The study underscores the importance of developing EI competencies for the faculty members in order to curb the burnout faced by them.
Design/methodology/approach
The study employs a two-wave research design method. In total, 153 faculty members employed by HEIs in India were administered the questionnaire measuring the variables undertaken for the study in two stages.
Findings
Empirical evidence revealed that EI is negatively related to burnout. Gender is found to moderate the relationship. Female faculty members were found to be more stable regarding the perception of burnout as compared to male faculty members at low and high levels of EI, even though they experience higher levels of burnout.
Practical implications
Importance of creating a supportive climate and social support measures in the HEIs for the faculty members has been mentioned. Additionally, training programs and focused interventions on EI based on gender have also been highlighted. The role of policymakers and people in leadership roles in academic institutions to address the issues of burnout has also been discussed.
Originality/value
The moderating role of gender on the relationship between the constructs chosen is an unexplored area in the chosen context. Measures for employing a preventive strategy to prevent burnout through the development of EI have been discussed.
The Mediating Role of Self-Esteem in the Relationship Between Perceived Ethnic Discrimination and Continuance Commitment of Migrant Workers
Publication . Yücel, İlhami; Gomes, Daniel Roque; Ribeiro, Neuza; Özlok, Kasım Kağan
This study aims to examine the relationship between perceived ethnic discrimination by migrant workers (applicants for international protection) and continuance commitment, and to analyze whether this relationship is mediated by self-esteem. In addition, it aims to contribute to the literature on the organizational outcomes of perceived ethnic discrimination. This research was conducted through a questionnaire survey of 411 migrants who applied for international protection in Turkey. As a result of the study, perceived ethnic discrimination was found to be a predictor of continuance commitment and self-esteem. In addition, it was observed that self-esteem has a mediating role in the relationship between perceived ethnic discrimination and continuance commitment. The results offer important implications for organizations and organization managers on how migrant workers should be managed and which issues require specific attention. The application of the study on migrant workers and the examination of these variables provide important contributions and practical implications to the literature. In addition, this is a rare study that examines the mediator model with the variables specified in the model using social identity theory, which has not yet been widely covered in existing literature.
Bilateral arthroscopy of the temporomandibular joint: clinical outcomes and the role of a second intervention-a prospective study
Publication . Ângelo, David Faustino; Sanz, David; Cardoso, Henrique José
Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of bilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy in patients with different categories of severity based on Dimitroulis classification (categories 2–4) and the role of a second TMJ intervention in primary failure. Methods: A 3-year prospective study was designed, including patients submitted to bilateral TMJ arthroscopy. The primary outcome was TMJ pain (VAS, 0–10) and the secondary outcomes were the maximum mouth opening (MMO) and masticatory myalgia degree (0–3). In cases of symptomatic relapse, a second TMJ intervention was performed (TMJ arthrocentesis or TMJ open surgery). Results: Eighty patients (93.4% women) were enrolled, with a mean age of 32.40 ± 11.41 years. With an average follow-up of 523.7 days (34–1606), a statistically significant improvement in TMJ pain, MMO, and myalgia degree was observed (P < 0.0001). The overall successful outcome of one-single bilateral arthroscopy was ~ 69%. Twenty-two patients relapsed: (1) arthralgia (n = 15, 68.18%); (2) arthralgia + myalgia (n = 4, 18.18%); (3) dislocated disc without reduction (DDwoR) (n = 2, 9.09%); (4) DDwoR + osteoarthrosis (OA) (n = 1, 4.55%). Arthralgia was re-managed with TMJ arthrocentesis with local anesthesia (n = 19, 86.36%). New DDwoR with or without OA was re-treated with TMJ open surgery (n = 3, 13.64%). After the second intervention, the success rate increased to 85%. Conclusions: Bilateral TMJ arthroscopy presented overall benefit in all parameters evaluated. Clinical relevance: This study highlights the importance of TMJ arthroscopy as the first line of treatment for moderate-severe temporomandibular disorders cases contributing to the reduction of TMJ open surgeries. In cases of arthroscopy unsuccess, TMJ arthrocentesis under local anesthesia was an effective and safe intervention for patients with recurrent TMJ arthralgia.
Appartenances, frontières et déplacements : faire et défaire des quartiers à Lisbonne
Publication . Cordeiro, Graça Índias; Pereira, Patrícia; Cachado, Rita Ávila
Cet article interroge les processus de production matérielle et symbolique du lieu urbain à Lisbonne à travers l’analyse de trois quartiers : Bica, Quinta da Vitória et Parque das Nações. S’appuyant sur trois recherches ethnographiques réalisées entre les années 1990 et 2010, les autrices mobilisent les concepts d’appartenance, de frontière et de déplacement pour explorer la dynamique du « faire lieu ». Notre approche met en lumière la manière dont les lieux se constituent à l’intersection de pratiques sociales locales (fêtes, voisinage, associations), de structures urbaines (morphologie, aménagement, politiques publiques) et de trajectoires historiques (patrimonialisation, gentrification, expulsions). Chaque quartier étudié incarne une figure urbaine spécifique : quartier populaire ancien (Bica), quartier précaire démoli (Quinta da Vitória), et quartier planifié élitiste (Parque das Nações). L’analyse montre que ces lieux urbains sont le résultat de processus conflictuels de construction et de reconstruction, inscrits dans des luttes territoriales et des imaginaires collectifs. L’espace urbain apparaît alors comme un territoire vécu, une mémoire habitée et une scène de négociation identitaire. L’article invite à repenser les transformations urbaines contemporaines à partir des échelles micro du quotidien et des modalités d’appropriation, de résistance et de déplacement des habitants.
Pensar Melhor, Intervir Melhor: Entre Experiência e Conhecimento na Terapia Ocupacional
Publication . Gomes, Maria Dulce; Teixeira, Liliana
Pensar Melhor, Intervir Melhor: Entre Experiência e Conhecimento na Terapia Ocupacional apresenta uma reflexão abrangente sobre os fundamentos científicos da Terapia Ocupacional e o papel da investigação na construção, aplicação e disseminação do conhecimento disciplinar. A obra explora a relação entre Ciência Ocupacional e Terapia Ocupacional, analisando os processos de produção de evidência, os principais desenhos e abordagens de investigação, a avaliação e validação de instrumentos, bem como a comunicação científica e a transferência do conhecimento para a prática profissional. Partindo de uma perspetiva crítica e contextualizada, enfatiza a importância da prática baseada na evidência, do raciocínio profissional, da ética na investigação e da centralidade da ocupação humana enquanto fenómeno complexo, significativo e socialmente situado. Destinado a estudantes, docentes, investigadores e profissionais, o livro pretende promover literacia científica, pensamento crítico e capacidade reflexiva, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de uma Terapia Ocupacional cientificamente fundamentada, socialmente relevante e comprometida com a participação, a inclusão e a justiça ocupacional.
