No full textWage and Homeownership (Chapter 9)
No full textThis chapter delves into the relationship between homeownership and wage. As shown in Chapter 5, wage plays a key role in the decision to buy a home, since a constant and high enough income flow is necessary to obtain a mortgage from the bank. Until now, however, the wage was assumed to be endogenous in the labour market, and exogenous in the housing market, namely, wage was not affected by
housing market conditions. In this chapter, instead, the tenant/worker’s surplus in the housing market (namely, the opportunity of becoming a homeowner) is considered in the wage equation. It follows that wage will depend on trading frictions in both the labour market and the housing market. Accordingly, housing market frictions will also affect labour market outcomes (job creation and unemployment)

No full textOutright Homeowners and Homeowners with a Mortgage (Chapter 8)
No full textUnlike Chapter 7 that focuses on outright homeowners and tenants, this chapter focuses on the distinction between outright homeowners and homeowners with a mortgage. Specifically, based on the theoretical insights of Chapter 6, the present chapter performs an empirical panel analysis (on 27 European countries for the period 2014–2023) and shows that the sign of the relation between homeownership and employment changes drastically, depending on the type of homeowner considered
Physical and psychological optimization of tele-exercise programs by establishing guidelines
No full textTele-exercise has significant potential as a tool to promote physical activity, particularly for individuals facing barriers to accessing gyms or sports centres due to geographical, physical, or financial constraints. While tele-exercise derives from telemedicine, it remains a less defined field with no established guidelines to regulate or standardize its implementation. This gap highlights the need for structured frameworks to ensure the safety, effectiveness, and accessibility of tele-exercise. This study aimed to establish a consensus on some fundamental aspects of tele-exercise through a structured four-round process. A mixed-method approach combined analyses of scientific literature with a modified Delphi approach of 4 rounds of experts’ opinions collected via focus groups and an ad hoc questionnaire. A consensus criterion of ≥ 60% agreement was applied. Experts (n = 17 internal, n = 14 external) validated 7 thematic areas and 25 operational recommendations, including fitness training design (e.g., 2–10 participants/session in synchronous mode), safety protocols, and technology requirements. In detail, the following fundamental aspects were addressed: (1) operative definitions of tele-exercise, (2) fitness training programs design, (3) requirements for spaces and equipment, (4) safety protocols for remote exercise, (5) the role and impact of technology, (6) relational and communication strategies to enhance engagement, and (7) monitoring methods for asynchronous and synchronous training sessions. Answers were analysed through a manual content analysis. The guidelines provide a comprehensive examination of these aspects, addressing current gaps and limitations while outlining opportunities for improvement. The study underscores the importance of developing standardized practices to ensure safe and effective implementation of tele-exercise. These findings establish a preliminary framework for tele-exercise implementation, highlighting consensus on technical and psychological features critical for scalability and safety in diverse populations
The dynamics of employee voice and exit in service organisations: a Hirschman EVL perspective
No full textThe purpose of the present study is to investigate how job satisfaction influences constructive and destructive voice behaviours, as well as exit intentions, within service organisations. Grounded in Hirschman’s Exit-Voice-Loyalty (EVL) framework, the study explores the moderating role of loyalty in shaping these behavioural responses to job satisfaction. Survey data were collected from 200 employees across various service organisations, and the hypotheses were tested using a path model to examine both direct and moderated relationships. The findings reveal that job satisfaction is positively associated with constructive voice and negatively associated with both destructive voice and exit intentions. Furthermore, loyalty moderates these relationships, amplifying the positive link between job satisfaction and constructive voice while mitigating the negative associations with destructive voice and exit intentions. This study extends the EVL framework to service-based organisation by demonstrating that loyalty serves as a stabilising factor, transforming dissatisfaction into proactive behaviours that foster organisational learning and adaptation.
This research offers new insights into the interplay between satisfaction, loyalty, and employee responses, addressing gaps in the literature by examining destructive voice and exit alongside constructive voice. By highlighting the role of satisfaction as a trigger for strategic individual responses, this study advances theoretical perspectives on employee behaviour in service settings. Finally, the findings provide practical implications for service organisations, emphasising the importance of fostering loyalty to harness employees’ potential for constructive contributions and mitigate the risks associated with destructive behaviours or turnover
Teachers as key agents in evolving educational ecosystems: Implications and evidence from a pre-service training path
No full textThe paper deepens the results of a study conducted with 9986 future
teachers, involved in a pre-service training pathway. The main
objective was to identify their profiles, dispositions and competences
in the field of instructional design, considered as crucial dimensions
for a future effective professionalism in complex educational
ecosystems. The study revealed a widespread interest in active and
engaging methodologies. However, basic knowledge and skills were
found to be weaker than expected
