Examining the nexus between situational factors and job performance through the mediating role of work engagement and self-efficacy

The situational perspectives theory of job performance is a fundamental aspect of organizational and managerial psychology. Consequently, there is growing interest in conducting additional research to assess situational factors and job performance through the theoretical frameworks of social learning and social exchange theories, which are seldom applied in these domains. The data has been collected from 365 employees working in Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL). It was found that supervisor support stimulates job performance. It is also deduced that self-efficacy mediates the relationship while work engagement does not mediate the relationship between supervisor support and job performance. The situational perspectives theory of job performance provides a supportive framework for the development of PTCL employees. This work should be of interest in the area of situational factors and performance improvement. This study is one of the very few studies conducted to empirically assess the influence of situational factor on performance through the mediating role of work engagement and self-efficacy.     

A Fatal Case of Poisoning with Fentanyl Transdermal Patches in Japan

Fentanyl transdermal patches have been used to treat cancer‐ and noncancer‐related chronic pain. However, its inappropriate or illegal application may cause fatal poisoning. We herein present the case of a Japanese woman in her 40s who was found dead with seven 25‐μg/h fentanyl transdermal patches on her body. We established a detailed toxicological analysis procedure to quantify fentanyl, and its metabolite norfentanyl, and other drugs (acetaminophen, allylisopropylacetylurea, celecoxib, estazolam, promethazine, and sertraline) in human whole blood by ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The measured fentanyl and norfentanyl concentrations in the femoral and cardiac blood were 0.051 and 0.072 μg/mL and 0.033 and 0.076 μg/mL, respectively. The decedent's fentanyl concentrations were consistent with previously reported postmortem blood levels for fatal cases of poisoning by fentanyl transdermal patches. Based on the decedent's case history, autopsy findings, and toxicological analyses, the cause of death was identified as intoxication with transdermal fentanyl.

公务员情绪智力与工作绩效关系及开发实证研究

根据研究假设,以347份问卷调查结果对公务员情绪智力与其工作绩效的关系进行实证研究。研究结果表明:公务员情绪智力中的自我觉知、自我管理、社会觉知和社交技巧四个维度对任务绩效和关系绩效均有显著正向影响,这四个维度的不同表现水平,将带来公务员工作绩效的差异。据此,为了有效提升公务员情绪智力水平,本文从编制情绪智力词典、开发情绪智力测评体系、个人发展、组织发展等角度提出了对策建议。     

The price of personalizing politics: Political distrust and economic performance in Latin America, 1996–2006

While research has provided evidence that culture and institutional performance shape individual level trust in political institutions, scholars have neglected to adequately estimate the effect of political institutions and macroeconomic conditions on trust. Using data from the World Value Surveys for eleven Latin American cases, we test if countries with “partyizing” electoral systems - those with rules that encourage voters to hold the party, not individuals, accountable for government performance - experience lower levels of distrust in political parties and the legislature in times of poor economic conditions than those countries with “personalizing” electoral rules. Our analysis shows that the macro political and economic context largely conditions the impact of culture and institutional performance on political trust.     

员工非财务指标披露满意度研究

国内外从未有人从员工角度进行过非财务指标披露的满意度排序研究和分组研究,从员工角度出发进行研究,是对员工所关注的反映其利益要求和实现方式信息的非财务指标披露的满意度进行的排序研究和分组研究。研究得出结论:员工对不同类的反映其利益要求和实现方式信息的非财务指标披露的满意度存在显著差异;个体和企业因素产生了员工同一类非财务指标披露的满意度差异。对满意度低的非财务指标的披露,企业应当改善其披露。对不同类别员工披露满意度存在显著差异的非财务指标,企业应当特别需要改善披露。
