Download or read book Job Satisfaction around the Academic World written by Peter James Bentley and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education systems have changed all over the world, but not all have changed in the same ways. Although system growth and so-called massification have been worldwide themes, there have been system-specific changes as well. It is these changes that have an important impact on academic work and on the opinions of the staff that work in higher education. The academic profession has a key role to play in producing the next generations of knowledge workers, and this task will be more readily achieved by a contented academic workforce working within well-resourced teaching and research institutions. This volume tells the story of academics’ opinions about the changes in their own countries. The Changing Academic Profession (CAP) survey has provided researchers and policy makers with the capacity to compare the academic profession around the world. Built around national analyses of the survey this book examines academics’ opinions on a range of issues to do with their job satisfaction. Following an introduction that considers the job satisfaction literature as it relates to higher education, country-based chapters examine aspects of job satisfaction within each country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more scholars and managers have been paying attention to job stress. The physical and emotional health problems of employees caused by job stress can bring huge economic losses to the companies and even to society. Under China’s rapid economic growth, finance organizations, especially banking, have the mission to strengthen their economic power. Competitive pressures are aggravating and uncertainties are increasing among the state-owned banks of China.In this research, we explore the two dimensions of job stress and investigate the relationship between job stress and productivity among China’s banking industry employees. Guanxi-oriented attitude, an important part of Chinese culture, will be considered in the model as a moderating factor. The first objective of this research is to develop job challenge and hindrance stress measurements among China’s banking industry employees. The second objective of this research is to examine the relationships among challenge stress, hindrance stress and job satisfaction, turnover intention, and job performance. The last objective of this research is to examine the moderating effect of guanxi-oriented attitude between two dimensions of job stress and job satisfaction.
Download or read book Job Quality and Employer Behaviour written by S. Bazen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-08-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a fresh look at the issue of job quality, analyzing employer behaviour and discussing the agenda for policy intervention. Between 1997 and 2002, more than twelve million new jobs were created in the European Union and labour market participation increased by more than eight million. Whilst a good deal of these new jobs have been created in high-tech and/or knowledge-intensive sectors providing workers with decent pay, job security, training and career development prospects, a significant share of jobs, particularly in labour-intensive service sector industries fail to do so. This volume provides new perspectives on this highly debated and policy relevant issue.
