In the last decades, happiness at work has been studied due to social changes; increased workload; stress; and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. Happiness at work is considered an umbrella concept as it covers individual and organizational aspec...

Commercial aviation pilots are an occupational group that work in particular conditions, with frequent schedule changes, shift work, unfavorable environmental conditions, etc. These circumstances can lead to fatigue, work overload (WO), and daytime s...

Universities perform very demanding tasks within a workplace characterized by a critical psychosocial environment. Against this backdrop, the aim of this study is to extend the current literature on the job sustainability of faculty professors, exami...

Psychosocial working conditions are important determinants of employee health, work ability, and organizational sustainability, yet existing instruments often assess job demands, job resources, psychosocial risks, or well-being outcomes separately. T...

This study determined the influence of years spent working in custody on fitness measured by a state-specific testing battery (Work Sample Test Battery; WSTB) in deputy sheriffs. Retrospective analysis was conducted on one patrol school class (51 mal...

The underground mining process typically results in some of the metal inventory remaining as a broken residue within mine workings. Up to 0.5 m of broken ore may be left on the floors of development drives and in stopes. It is possible that this brok...

Work–family conflicts (WFCs) and family–work conflicts (FWCs) have been found to be important to worker morale and retention as well as family (as defined by the respondents) well-being, with particular importance within the military, as...

Working memory (WM)-based decision making depends on a number of cognitive control processes that control the flow of information into and out of WM and ensure that only relevant information is held active in WM’s limited-capacity store. Although nec...

Although work events can be regarded as pivotal elements of organizational life, only a few studies have examined how positive and negative events relate to and combine to affect work engagement over time. Theory suggests that, to better understand h...

Visual inspections are performed to investigate cracks in concrete infrastructure. These activities require manpower or equipment such as articulated ladders. Additionally, there are health and safety issues because some structures have low accessibi...

Traditional time study methods are time-consuming and expensive and require experienced staff. Using a time sampling methodology based on video recordings might be a time-efficient and precise solution. This study scrutinized the accuracy and margin...

Postural control research suggests a non-linear, n-shaped relationship between dual-tasking and postural stability. Nevertheless, the extent of this relationship remains unclear. Since kinematic principal component analysis has offered novel approach...

This study examines the wage effects of educational mismatch in China by jointly addressing sample selection, endogeneity, and nonlinear career-stage heterogeneity within a unified econometric framework. Although educational mismatch has been widely...

Macroplastic pollution in mountain rivers can threaten water resources, biodiversity, and the recreational values provided by them. The first step towards evaluating and then mitigating these risks is the systematic collection of reliable and spatial...

Fractional differencing offers a persistence-oriented representation of financial time series, while fractional volatility models provide information on persistent conditional variance. This study evaluates whether such fractional-econometric informa...

Sensor-based Particle Ore Sorting (POS) has gained significant acceptance as a unit process in mineral processing in recent years, particularly in the diamond, copper, tin, and tungsten sectors. The increased uptake has led to a steady increase in te...
