HR practices and psychosocial risk management during times of health crises in hospital organizations : Case of the Covid-19 pandemic at the Federation of Luxembourg Hospitals
No full textNotre recherche s’articule autour de la question suivante : Comment les pratiques RH ont-elles permis de prévoir et d'anticiper un déclenchement des risques psychosociaux en période de crises sanitaires telles que la pandémie de Covid-19 à la FHL ? En se basant sur une approche interdisciplinaire, cette étude a combiné les points de vue de la gestion des ressources humaines, de la psychologie organisationnelle et de la gestion des risques pour examiner la réaction de la Fédération des Hôpitaux Luxembourgeois face à la crise. Le positionnement épistémologique pragmatique de cette étude a facilité l'exploration de questions complexes et multidimensionnelles en combinant des approches qualitatives et quantitatives pour une compréhension approfondie du phénomène étudié. Dans cette optique, une méthode mixte séquentielle explicative a été utilisée. Les résultats de cette étude ont mis en évidence deux axes fondamentaux où les pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines ont joué un rôle déterminant dans la maîtrise des risques psychosociaux durant la pandémie. Premièrement, l'efficacité de la communication interne, caractérisée par une circulation fluide et de haute qualité des informations entre les différents départements, a permis de réduire de manière significative le stress et l'incertitude des employés. En effet, 70 % des participants ont confirmé que la qualité de cette communication avait contribué à atténuer leurs préoccupations. Deuxièmement, les initiatives managériales proactives, telles que la mise en place de cellules de crise, ont facilité une prise de décision rapide et informée. Ces dispositifs ont joué un rôle clé dans la réduction de l'anxiété du personnel, 65 % des répondants soulignant leur importance dans l'atténuation de l'incertitude et du stress au sein de l'organisation. Certaines hypothèses, telles que la flexibilité du travail, les activités médicales et opérationnelles, n'ont pas été validées. Cela souligne la nécessité de maintenir une vigilance sur ces aspects, notamment en matière de prévention des risques psychosociaux (RPS) dans les établissements hospitaliers. L’étude conclut que la communication transparente, associée à des mesures managériales ciblées, constitue un levier fondamental pour prévenir les RPS en période de crise. La reconnaissance et la valorisation des employés, la flexibilité en matière de charge de travail, ainsi que l’accompagnement dans la digitalisation et le développement des compétences apparaissent comme des facteurs essentiels pour renforcer la résilience organisationnelle face aux crises à venir.Our research revolves around the following question: How did HR practices predict and anticipate an outbreak of psychosocial risks during health crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic at FHL? Using an interdisciplinary approach, this study combined the perspectives of human resource management, organizational psychology and risk management to examine the response of the Fédération des Hôpitaux Luxembourgeois to the covid-19 pandemic. The pragmatic epistemological positioning of this study facilitated the exploration of complex, multidimensional issues by combining qualitative and quantitative approaches for an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon under study. To this end, a mixed sequential explanatory method was used. The results of this study highlighted two fundamental areas where human resource management practices played a decisive role in controlling psychosocial risks during the pandemic. Firstly, effective internal communication, characterized by a fluid, high-quality flow of information between departments, significantly reduced employee stress and uncertainty. Indeed, 70% of participants confirmed that the quality of this communication had helped to alleviate their concerns. Secondly, proactive management initiatives, such as the setting up of crisis units, facilitated rapid, informed decision-making. These schemes played a key role in reducing staff anxiety, with 65% of respondents stressing their importance in alleviating uncertainty and stress within the organization. Certain hypotheses, such as work flexibility, medical and operational activities, were not validated. This underscores the need to maintain vigilance on these aspects, particularly in terms of psychosocial risk (PSR) prevention in hospital establishments. The study concludes that transparent communication, combined with targeted managerial measures, is a fundamental lever for preventing PSR in times of crisis. Employee recognition and appreciation, workload flexibility, and support for digitalization and skills development appear to be essential factors in strengthening organizational resilience in the face of future crises
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
