Abstract Two established approaches to work redesign are formal top‐down interventions and proactive bottom‐up job crafting. Top‐down limited in their ability create individually optimized characteristics, whereas processes constrained by the latitude workers have modify own jobs. Following recent research on idiosyncratic deals (i‐deals) individuals negotiate with employer, task i‐deals customizing content suggested as a third approach redesign. Hypotheses antecedents consequences of were...
Subjective workload in healthcare employees is suspected to be important for the performance and safety of delivery. This study investigates associations between workflow interruptions hospital doctors' capability manage their perceived a safe efficient manner.To examine relationship observed with during day clinical shifts.A prospective 43 full shift observations 29 doctors working internal medicine surgical specialties. Workflow were assessed via observation using previously validated...
To investigate the moderating effects of work overload and supervisor support on emotional exhaustion-depressive state relationship.Burnout depression are prevalent in human service professionals have a detrimental impact clients. Work two key job demands resources, whose role interplay for development maintenance burnout not fully understood yet.Two consecutive cross-sectional surveys: survey 1 investigated 111 hospital nursing 2 examined 202 day care professionals. Data collection was...
This study links idiosyncratic deals (i-deals) to job design theory. It investigates the impact of individually negotiated changes on performance, self-efficacy, and psychological strain through their intervening effects work design. Based a sample 187 health care professionals employed by hospital in Germany, three types design-related i-deals were investigated: (1) task, (2) career, (3) flexibility i-deals. Consistent with hypotheses, i-deal had differential characteristics, each turn...
Summary Work ability describes employees' capability to carry out their work with respect physical and psychological job demands. This study investigated direct interactive effects of age, control, the use successful aging strategies called selection, optimization, compensation (SOC) in predicting ability. We assessed SOC control by using employee self‐reports, we measured supervisor ratings. Data collected from 173 health‐care employees showed that was positively associated Additionally,...
Hospital physicians' time is a critical resource in medical care. Two aspects are of interest. First, the spent direct patient contact – key principle effective Second, simultaneous task performance ('multitasking') which may contribute to error, impaired safety behaviour, and stress. There call for instruments assess these aspects. A preliminary study gain insight into activity patterns, allocation activities hospital physicians was carried out. Therefore an observation instrument...
Background Interruptions of hospital doctors' workflow are a frequent stressor, eventually jeopardising quality clinical performance. To enhance the safety work, it is necessary to analyse frequency and circumstances interruptions. Aim quantify interruptions among doctors, identify sources relate concurrent activities. Methods Within typical hospital, 32 participant observations full work shifts were carried out. Time–motion information was collected on types interruption activities analysed...
<h3>Background</h3> Workflow interruptions, multitasking and workload demands are inherent to emergency departments (ED) work systems. Potential effects of ED providers’ on care quality patient safety have, however, been rarely addressed. We aimed investigate the prevalence associations staff9s workflow with outcomes. <h3>Methods</h3> applied a mixed-methods design in two-step procedure. First, we conducted time-motion study observe rate interruptions activities. Second, during 20-day shifts...
Emergency departments (EDs) are highly dynamic and stressful care environments that affect provider patient outcomes. Yet, effective interventions missing. This study evaluated prospective effects of a multi-professional organizational-level intervention on changes in ED providers’ work conditions well-being (primary outcomes) patient-perceived quality (secondary outcome). A before after including an interrupted time-series (ITS) design over 1 year was established the multidisciplinary...
Since May 2020, several COVID-19 outbreaks have occurred in the German meat industry despite various protective measures, and temperature ventilation conditions were considered as possible high-risk factors. This cross-sectional study examined poultry plants to examine risk Companies completed a self-administered questionnaire on work environment measures taken prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for possibility distance at least 1.5 meters,...
Despite the increasing scholarly interest in phenomenon technostress, associated biological effects on employee health are under-researched. Chronic low-grade inflammation is suggested as a central pathway linking stress experience to disease development. The aim of this study was assess associations technology-related work stressors (technostressors) with and burnout symptoms.N = 173 (74.6% women, Mage 31.0 years) university hospital employees participated cross-sectional study. Self-report...
In healthcare, artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to improve work processes, yet most research focuses on the technical features of AI rather than its real-world clinical implementation. To evaluate implementation process an AI-based computer-aided detection system (AI-CAD) for prostate MRI readings, we interviewed German radiologists in a pre-post design. We embedded our findings Model Workflow Integration and Technology Acceptance analyze workflow effects, facilitators, barriers. The...
Pediatricians' workload is increasingly thought to affect pediatricians' quality of work life and patient safety. Workflow interruptions are a frequent stressor in clinical work, impeding clinicians' attention contributing malpractice. We aimed investigate prospective associations workflow with multiple dimensions mental pediatricians during day shifts. In an Academic Children's Hospital study 28 full shift observations was conducted among providing ward coverage. The prevalence based on...
