Author(s): Katarzyna Smolik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2011

A family is a community which forms a natural and unique environment where a person is born, develops and grows up. It is one of the reasons why it is an important object of research. Although there have been many changes in the functioning of families – some of them worrying – and even though a family encounters a lot of obstacles relating to children’s upbringing, a family remains a fundamental and the most important social group. Spending time together by family members has a special place in forming a family community. Leisure time is indispensable for a proper functioning of an individual in their social environment. Children need help mostly from their parents to be able to use their free time well. This is why one of the most important roles a family has to play is to teach free time management. New, changing living conditions of a family raise a number of questions. This thesis includes a report of research relating to participation of professionally active parents in organizing their children’s free time and provides answers to these questions: What are the current forms of spending free time by children and adolescents?, and Do members of families spend their time together and how? This research was conducted in Wadowice district.

Author(s): Homayoun Pasha Safavı,Mona Bouzarı,Taraneh Foroutan / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Purpose – The present study bears numbers of prospective contributions by pointing to neglected issues in hospitality management and service literature. Specifically, it applied job demands-resources model to test a conceptual model to check whether career plateau (CP) acts as a mediator in the relation between hindrance stressors (HSs), work-related depression (WRD) and emotional exhaustion (EE). Design/methodology/approach – Data was collected from flight attendants in public and private airlines in Iran via their direct supervisors through judgmental sampling technique. One-hundred ninety-two flight attendants participated in the study. Structural equation modelingwas applied for data analysis. Findings – The results confirm that HSs are significantly associated with CP and CP is directly related to WRD and EE. The results similarly proved that CP acts as a mediator in the aforementioned relationships. Discussion – This study connects HSs on WRD and EE through CP. Inspecting the mediation impacts of CP in this relation seems noteworthy since it is largely overlooked in the relevant service literature. The results showed that HSs enhance CP. Moreover, the existence of CP elevates strain. That is, plateaued employees feel ignored by their organizations, and this boosts their feeling of WRD and EE. Implications – Managers should help crew members in understanding their responsibilities through establishing a clear job description consisting of clear responsibilities, tasks and goals. Managers should take proactive approaches to decrease job demands and deal with plateaued employees. They should put enough effort into changing these employees’ perceptions and negative attitudes toward their job.

Author(s): Ferhat Ayyıldız,Duygu İrem Çam,Yasemin Kuşdemir / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2021

Purpose – The COVID-19 outbreak has a negative impact on many areas of life, so various measures are taken to ensure social isolation. Beyond these measures, some expectations of employees have emerged from their organizations to overcome their concerns about health and safety. Organizations make some arrangements to meet these expectations and protect the existing workforce. While some of the employees continue to go to workplaces, some of them have started to work from home due to arrangements. The aim of the current study is to investigate the relationship between working from home (WFH) during the outbreak and the intention to leave and the mediator role of perceived quality of work life in this relation. Design/methodology/approach – The relational scanning method was used in the research. Snowball sampling method was used to reach the participants and data were obtained from 292 white collar employees who answered the online survey. Data collection tools consist of the Demographic Information Form which contains information about working from home, Quality of Work Life Scale and Intention to Turnover Scale. It was evaluated by correlation and multiple hierarchical linear mediator regression analysis in the SPSS 21 package. Findings – The multiple hierarchical linear mediator regression analysis indicated that WFH in the outbreak process had a negative relationship with the intention to leave and perceived quality of work life mediated this relationship. Discussion – WFH seems to respond to basic needs of individuals in health, safety and economy issues during the outbreak and thus they want to continue working in their current organizations. In order to protect the benefits of WFH in the post-outbreak process, attention should be paid to match this system with the expectations of individuals.

COVID-19 Fear and Psychological Distress: Mediator and Moderator Effects of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies

Author(s): Ezgi Tuna,Haticenur Koçak,Senanur Sayınta,Başak Gürül / Language(s): English Issue: 30/2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a worldwide threat to individuals’ physical and psychological well-being. Empirical studies show that fear and anxiety are among the most common reactions to the pandemic. There is evidence that fear of COVID-19 (FCV) may contribute to elevated levels of psychological distress and if not regulated effectively, it might create a vulnerability for the initiation of psychological problems. The purpose of the current study was to explore the mediator and moderator role of cognitive emotion regulation (CER) strategies in the relationship between FCV and psychological distress. Data was collected from 587 Turkish adults (Mage = 37, SD = 15.25) via online self-report questionnaires on FCV, CER strategies, and measures of psychological distress. We tested a multiple mediation model predicting psychological distress from FCV with CER strategies as mediators. The model was significant and among the CER strategies acceptance, rumination, catastrophizing, and blaming others partially mediated the association between FCV and psychological distress. The moderator role of acceptance was also significant, indicating a stronger relationship between FCV and psychological distress among those with more frequent use of acceptance as a CER strategy. Our findings indicate that the use of CER strategies plays a role in the link between FCV and the level of psychological distress. Targeting the use of less adaptive strategies might be an effective way to improve psychological well-being during the pandemic.

İşsizliğin Azaltılmasına Yönelik Kamusal Müdahale: Çalışma Saatlerinin Düzenlenmesi

Author(s): Uğur ÇİÇEK,Neslihan Koç / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 22/2023

This study examines the effect of shortening weekly working hours on unemployment. At the same production level, employees working less time means more people working. In the study, it is predicted that reducing weekly working hours will reduce unemployment, provided that the income level of employees remains constant. Taking the studies and published reports as data, the results show that although shortening weekly working hours has positive effects, it is not welcomed in the labor market due to the increased costs it creates for employers. This negative impact can be eliminated by reducing the financial burdens on employers with financial aid and subsidies provided by the state. Although the study's findings are that this system will reduce unemployment, it is necessary to support it with public policies for this system to be implemented.
