Monodimensional and multidimensional character of frames in Anna Voitenko's photo cycle «Isa» as an element of author's communicative strategy
No full textThe article is dedicated to the outline of the specifics of frame spatial organisation in documentary photo as an element of artist's communicative strategy and a mean of photo aesthetisation. Attention was paid to the study of current topical debate issue on the correlation of objective and subjective, artistic and documentary in photography, nature of reconsideration and means of reality modelling which are used by a photographer. The aim of the research was to explore the semantic potential of plan organisation of frame space in a documentary photo. The tasks of the article were to consider the palette of frame plan organisation in A. Voitenko's documentary cycle «Iza», to outline the significance acquired by frame spatial organisation as an expressive means in a documentary photo. The subject of the study includes the peculiarities of frame spatial organisation, and the object was the documentary series of photos «Iza» by Anna Voitenko. On the material of Anna Voitenko's documentary photo feature story «Iza» devoted to the depiction of life and mode of the inhabitants of a Transcarpathian village and their traditional handicraft, features of the application of monodimensional and multidimensional frame construction are considered. The article states the idea that a documentary photo is used to capture the reality reliably and accurately, but as any result of creativity, it carries the imprint of the author's worldview and evaluation of the depicted events, which can be expressed through particular compositional frame construction. The role and significance of monodimensional and multidimensional composition in Anna Voitenko's documentary frames as an element of artist's invention of the time and space continuum is analysed. It is emphasized that monodimensional, two-dimensional frame construction is most often used by A. Voitenko in case of depriving of depicted events of a clear binding to time, bringing them down to the level of a generalized symbol, attention concentration on key events and heroes of the documentary cycle. While multidimensional, three-dimensional compositional frame structure of documentary photos gives the opportunity to detail time and space of events, to saturate a frame with important details that serve to express the author's attitude to a depicted scene. The importance of the means used by the author to organize frame space, in particular, the point of shooting, the work with light and exposure solutions for silhouetting of images in monodimensional frames, the insertion of diagonals into a frame, and the visualization of a linear perspective for emphasis on multiplicity are considered, too. Other elements of compositional structure of documentary photos and their communicative and expressive potential requires further research. Keywords: documentary photo, frame space organisation, means of aesthetisation, monodimensional and multidimensional frame composition.
Статтю присвячено окресленню специфіки просторової організації кадру в документальній фотографії як елементу комунікативної стратегії митця та засобу естетизації фото. Звернуто увагу на актуальні дискутивні питання про співвіднесення об'єктивного і суб'єктивного, художнього і документального у фотографії, про характер переосмислення та засоби моделювання дійсності фотографом. У статті обстоюється думка, що документальна фотографія покликана достовірно й точно зафіксувати дійсність, але, як будь-який результат творчості, несе відбиток авторського світобачення й оцінки зображуваних подій, виразником яких може виступати композиційна побудова кадру. Проаналізовано роль і значення однопланової та багатопланової композиції в документальних кадрах Анни Войтенко як елемента вибудування митцем часо-просторового континууму.

Проанализированы роль и значение одноплановой и многоплановой композиции в документальных кадрах Анны Войтенко как элемента выстраивания художником время-пространственного континуума
Organizational Culture and Professional Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Work Control
Get PDFIn the search for psychological determinants of professional well-being, organizational culture attracts attention as a potentially influential factor, in particular, such a mediating effect as work control, since the type of organizational culture determines how control is implemented, which, in turn, can affect the professional well-being of an employee. The purpose of this study is to identify the presence and nature of the relationship between the type of organizational culture, job control, and employees' professional well-being. The aim of the study was implemented by using a cross-sectional method using the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) by Cameron and Quinn, the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) by Spector, and the Work Control Scale by Dwyer, & Ganster. The study involved 92 Ukrainian higher education teachers. The statistical processing of the results included mediation analysis and correlation analysis. The results of the study found that organizational culture is a determinant of professional well-being when an employee has control over their work. The complete mediation of the opposite types of organizational cultures by perceived control over work signifies the universality of this variable and demonstrates its importance for achieving professional well-being under any working conditions. The mediating effect we identified in the relationship between the studied variables deepens the understanding of the role of organizational culture in shaping the professional well-being of employees and opens new opportunities for effective prevention of its violations

Occupational Well-Being: A Comparative Analysis of the Main Structural Models
Get PDFThe analysis of the main models of the occupational well-being of the individual and their component composition revealed the absence of a generally accepted universal model. Existing differences in the ideas of researchers regarding the definition of the essence of occupational well-being and its components are caused, first of all, by the subjective nature of the researched construct. The purpose of this study is comparative analysis of models of professional well-being and different approaches to their construction. In accordance with the purpose of the study, general scientific theoretical methods were applied, such as comparison, generalization and systematization of data. Existing models are characterized by a variety of structural elements, are often overloaded with components and don't always have a clear mechanism for the formation of the subjective well-being of an individual. Therefore, it is advisable to continue searching for the optimal model of professional activity that creates conditions for achieving professional well-being

The Differences in the Feast Day of St. Onnohprius the Great
No full textThe article investigates the differences in the feast day of a famous Egyptian hermit St. Onnophrius the Great (the 4th century). In Christian traditions a few dates of St. Onnophrius’ celebration are known, the most common ones are three: 10, 11 and 12 June after the Julian calendar. These dates, which are close to each other, cannot point out some diff erent and independent church traditions in veneration of the saint, more likely they conjecture an error or an intentional slight transference of his feast day in some Christian Churches. Date June 10 corresponds to Paone 16 after the Coptic calendar and it is a day of remembrance of St. Onnophrius in the Coptic Church. The reasons for this discrepancy have not been studied to the present day. The author through his analysis of unpublished manuscripts has established the origin of the date June 11, as well as he has suggested the causes of the rise of the date June 12. All other known days of St. Onnohprius’ commemoration (6, 8, 9, 13 and 17 June) can be considered like «marginal» ones and their origins require additional research based on other sources

Stress at work: how job demands affect employee well-being
No full textThe aim of this study is to empirically test the nature of the relationship between job demands, job stress, and employee well-being. To achieve the research goal, a cross-sectional method was used using the Porter Satisfaction Questionnaire, the Diagnostic Stress Survey, and the Employment Insecurity Scale. Statistical analysis included mediation analysis and correlation analysis. The survey participants were 163 university teachers. The study found that work demands create psychological pressure and stress that reduce employees’ professional well-being by threatening the realization of their personal aspirations. The relationship between stress and employee well-being is mediated by the discrepancy between the desired state of need satisfaction and the actual state, as well as the importance of certain aspects of professional activity for the employee, which represents their value characteristic. The identified mediating effects expand existing ideas about the mechanisms of forming employee well-being and allow us to determine the directions of its psychological support in organizational prac- tice. Developing practical recommendations for psychological ensuring the well-being of employees in an organization should be a direction for further research.El objetivo de este estudio fue comprobar empíricamente la natura- leza de la relación entre las exigencias laborales, el estrés laboral y el bienestar ocupacional de los empleados. Métodos. Para lograr el objetivo de la investigación se aplicó un método transversal utilizando el Cuestionario de Satisfacción Laboral Spector, el Cuestionario de Satisfacción de Necesidades Porter, la Encuesta Diagnóstica de Estrés y la Escala de Inseguridad Laboral. El análisis estadístico incluyó análisis de mediación y análisis de correlación. La encuesta se realizó entre 163 profesores universitarios. Resultados. El estudio encontró que las exigencias del trabajo crean presión psicológica y estrés que reducen el bienestar profesional de los empleados al amenazar la realización de sus aspiraciones personales. La relación entre el estrés y el bienestar profesional de los empleados está mediada por la discrepancia entre el estado deseado de satisfacción de necesidades y el estado real, así como por la importancia de determinados aspectos de la actividad profesional para el empleado, lo que representa su característica de valor. Los efectos mediadores identificados amplían las ideas existentes sobre los mecanismos de formación del bienestar de los empleados y nos permiten determinar las direcciones de su apoyo psicológico en la práctica organizacional. El desarrollo de reco- mendaciones prácticas para garantizar psicológicamente el bienestar de los empleados de una organización debería ser una dirección para futuras investigaciones.
Vsebinska analiza tračev na različnih ravneh bolnišnice
Get PDFBackground: Most societies have a negative attitude toward gossip and managers are concerned about the impact of gossips on the communication in an organizational environment. Our study examined the perception of gossip, and the context of gossip at different levels of a hospital, a case of organization with high communicational relation among staff. Also, the differences between the gossip context within the organizational context and within the social environment have been considered. Methodology: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 informants, 9 in each of three groups: nurses, supervisors and managers of the Hospital. Recorded interviews were analyzed using content analysis, and results for each group of respondents were compared. Finally, the main gossiping issues for each group were categorized. Results: The study revealed that the topics of gossip in a hospital can be divided into eight main categories, and 34 sub-categories all identifiable by special topics. These main topics included confidentiality issues, merits, financial status/standing, personal characteristics, position, communications, biography, and job conditions. In terms of organizational gossip, a person’s merit in the workplace and financial standing were of particular interest to the participants of this study. Also, the gossip topics at different levels among nurses, administrators, and managers had significant differences. Conclusion: Managers should acknowledge different gossip contents among people at different organizational levels, and that employees do not have the same motives for communication at different organizational levels. Additionally, the distances between contents in the Tendency to Gossip Questionnaire and categories in the organizational environment need more studies, to explore precedents and outputs. Managers may use these findings to facilitate organizational change and communication.Ozadje in namen prispevka: Večina organizacij ima negativen odnos do opravljanja ali tračev. Menedžerji so zaskrbljeni zaradi vpliva tračev na komunikacijo v organizacijskem okolju. Naša študija je proučevala dojemanje opravljanja in kontekst tračev na različnih ravneh bolnišnice, kot primeru organizacije z intenzivno komunikacijo med zaposlenimi. Proučili smo tudi razlike med kontekstom tračev znotraj organizacijskega konteksta in znotraj socialnega okolja. Metodologija: Izvedli smo polstrukturirane intervjuje s 27 respondenti, po 9 v vsaki od treh skupin: medicinske sestrami, administrativnimi zaposlenimi in vodilnimi bolnišnice. Posnete intervjuje smo proučili z metodo analize vsebine in primerjali rezultate za vsako skupino respondentov. Na koncu smo kategorizirali glavna opravljanja oz. trače za vsako skupino. Rezultati: Teme opravljanja v bolnišnici lahko razvrstimo v osem glavnih kategorij in 34 podkategorij, ki jih je mogoče prepoznati po njihovi specifiki. Te glavne teme so vključevale vprašanja zaupnosti, zasluge, finančni status/položaj, osebne lastnosti, delovno mesto, komunikacije, biografijo in delovne pogoje. Z vidika organizacijskih tračev so udeležence te študije še posebej zanimale zasluge in napredovanje osebe na delovnem mestu in finančni položaj. Tudi pri temah tračev na različnih ravneh med medicinskimi sestrami, administratorji in menedžerji so se pokazale pomembne razlike. Zaključek: Vodje bi morali priznati različne vsebine tračev med ljudmi na različnih organizacijskih ravneh, saj zaposleni nimajo enakih motivov za komunikacijo na različnih organizacijskih ravneh. V razdaljah med vsebinami v vprašalniku nagnjenosti k opravljanju in kategorijami v organizacijskem okolju potrebujejo ugotavljamo potrebo po nadaljnjih študijah, da bi raziskale precedence in rezultate. Vodje lahko uporabijo te ugotovitve za olajšanje organizacijskih sprememb in izboljšanje komunikacije
