Effects of Work Boundary Strength on Employees' Emotional Exhaustion:The Mediating Role of Role Stress

Based on organizational support theory and “stressor-strain-outcome” model, this study constructs a moderated mediation model to research the mechanism between workload boundary and employees’ emotional exhaustion. Using a questionnaire survey, the results show that there is a U-shape relationship between the workload boundary and the employees’ emotional exhaustion; and this relationship is mediated by employees’ role stress. Furthermore, boundary flexibility moderates the U-shape relationship between workload boundary and employees’ role stress. This means that the boundary flexibility can help reduce the negative effects of the workload boundary on the employees’ role stress, and compared with too strong and too weak workload boundary, the reduced negative effects are the most appropriate when the workload boundary is in the middle. Lastly, workload flexibility moderates the mediation effects of employees’ role stress.     

岗位实训量化管理模式构建与实践——安徽省2011年省级示范实习实训中心项目研究内容

岗位实训是指公安院校的校外实训。岗位实训量化管理模式是根据实训计划内容和要求,对学生在公安机关基层工作中所承担工作任务进行分解统计,将工作内容转化为一定数据,及时、客观反映实训过程、状态和效果,并以此为依据实施实训管理的方式。实训中,对学生从事的工作进行统计量化,形成反映实训实时动态的量化数据,以此作为管理基础,可增强管理的科学性和有效性。由于工作量统计内容多、过程复杂,为确保量化管理模式有效运行,必须建立和完善实训量化机制,在统计项目、统计人员、统计过程、统计职责等关键环节上要有明确规定,以保证统计结果的真实性和教学管理的有效性。实践证明,将量化统计方法应用岗位实训中,构建实训量化管理模式,着力解决管理难题,能为岗位实训教学实现精细化发展奠定坚实基础。

Participation in change,job characteristics,and hedonic well-being of senior public managers: The moderation effect of change information

This study contributes to Hobfoll's Conservation of Resources theory by testing a moderated mediation model of the relationship between participation in change and senior managers’ hedonic well-being. Using data collected from 266 Australian senior managers employed in the Commonwealth and State public sector, we tested the interaction of participation in change and change information with job satisfaction, an example of hedonic well-being at work. Findings from the path analysis produced two new insights. First, both participation in change and information about change are key resources that senior managers can deploy to protect and enhance their job satisfaction. Second, information about change has a buffering effect on the indirect relationship between participation in change and job satisfaction through job control. These two findings have practical implications indicating that it is important to train and equip senior managers in the adoption of effective strategies to acquire job resources in assisting them deal with change induced job demands.     

Characteristics of Medical Examiner/Coroner Offices Accredited by the National Association of Medical Examiners

The National Association of Medical Examiners accredits medical examiner and coroner offices. Approximately 60 offices were fully or provisionally accredited as of late 2011, and these offices serve one‐quarter of the U.S. population. The calculated average population served was 1.6M but ranged from 0.3 to 10.5M. The calculated mean death rate was 794 deaths/100K population, and the mean homicide rate was 7.2 homicides/100K population. The calculated mean budget was $4.35M, but budgets ranged from $0.67 to $26.8M. The calculated mean budget/capita was $3.02 but ranged from $0.62 to $10.22. The average size of the facility was under 30,000 sq. ft. The calculated average staffing was found to include five forensic pathologists, four and a half autopsy technicians, and nine investigators. The mean forensic pathologists/1M population was 3.7. Calculated workload indices included 222 autopsies/pathologist and an autopsy rate of 77.6/100K population. These results show that offices of every size can achieve accreditation.     

基于人因的道路交通安全评价研究

驾驶人是影响道路交通安全的主要因素，驾驶过程中随着外界交通环境和自身心理和生理的变化，可以从人的因素来评价道路交通的安全性和舒适性。通过驾驶人驾驶车辆的主客观评价，可以得出道路交通环境对人的心理上和生理上的影响程度。应用实验进行宜人性主观评价，驾驶人驾驶负荷评价和道路交通安全模拟驾驶评价。
