No full textTransformational leadership and teacher satisfaction : the enhancing roles of professional development and learning program management
No full textCurrently, educational institutions are going through significant challenges across all EU countries. Therefore, school principals need an appropriate leadership style to support teachers through these obstacles, supporting them in their professional development and promoting their satisfaction. This study explores the relationship between transformational leadership and teachers' job satisfaction through professional development attitudes. Moreover, we investigate the moderating role of learning program management, namely the leader's strategies and practices that integrate teacher development within a school-wide learning system. A sample of N = 1,091 tenured teachers answered our paper-and-pencil questionnaire. Study hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling. The results of our study confirmed mediating and moderating hypotheses, emphasising the importance of supporting teachers' professional development to promote their satisfaction and foster their positive attitudes towards their development. Furthermore, we underline the importance of investing in school principals' leadership skills, which can be directly associated with teachers' personal and professional outcomes
“Profili di successo”: motivazione autonoma e risorse di carriera negli studenti universitari
No full textOld trends in new clothing? Exploring the quiet quitting phenomenon through a scoping review
Full text linkQuite Quitting (QQ), defined as employees' limited engagement with work and reluctance to take on extra or non-essential tasks, gained attention in the post-pandemic era. However, recent studies suggest that QQ might not represent an entirely novel phenomenon, indicating a need for further exploration to ensure coherent theoretical development. Through a scoping review, this paper aims to synthesize the literature on QQ, mapping its antecedents and consequences. Following the PRISMA guidelines, 22 articles sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Econlit were analyzed using the Theory, Context, Characteristic, Method and the Nomological Network frameworks. The analysis of the articles, published between 2022 and 2024, revealed a growing interest in this topic. Although a universal definition did not emerge, common themes were identified across the several definitions provided: minimal effort, absence of formal resignation, prioritization of work-life balance, disengagement and coping with stress. Additionally, the nomological network showed occupational health factors, personal and job resources, work attitudes, behaviors, and risk factors as predictors of QQ. Well-being, burnout, and job satisfaction emerged as critical mediators in understanding QQ behaviors. Notably, the review identifies turnover intention as a primary outcome linked to QQ. However, most studies employed cross-sectional designs, underscoring the need for longitudinal research to confirm causal relationships. This scoping review is the first to thoroughly examine QQ, highlighting its complexities and emphasizing the need for further research to recognize QQ not merely as “an old trend in new clothing” but as a distinct phenomenon with unique challenges and potential benefits
La resilienza come fattore di protezione del benessere in azienda.
No full textIntroduzione. Sulla base della teoria della Conservazione delle Risorse (Hobfoll, 1989), la resilienza
rappresenta un’importante risorsa personale poiché può aiutare i lavoratori a fronteggiare
efficacemente le sfide professionali, favorendo il mantenimento del loro benessere psicologico.
Studiare il ruolo di protezione di tale risorsa all’interno del contesto lavorativo è di particolare
interesse poiché essa può essere rafforzata attraverso specifici training.
Obiettivi. Questo studio si propone di indagare la presenza di differenze tra lavoratori aventi diversi
livelli di resilienza nella percezione di possibili fonti di stress lavoro-correlato e il ruolo di protezione
di tale caratteristica individuale rispetto allo sviluppo di esiti negativi di salute.
Metodo. 179 lavoratori impiegati in diverse divisioni aziendali di una multinazionale italiana hanno
compilato un questionario self-report che analizzava: resilienza (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale);
fonti di stress-lavoro correlato (Questionario Strumento Indicatore; Occupational Checkup System);
burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory); stato di salute psico-fisica (Occupational Stress Inventory). Le
analisi dei dati hanno previsto statistiche descrittive, ANOVA e regressioni.
Risultati. I lavoratori maggiormente resilienti tendono a percepire un maggiore controllo sul proprio
lavoro e supporto da parte di colleghi e superiori, un minor conflitto di ruolo, una maggiore capacità
di gestire i cambiamenti interni, una maggiore percezione di equità e sintonia con i valori aziendali.
Inoltre, controllando per le variabili demografiche e le fonti di stress lavoro-correlato, la resilienza
protegge i lavoratori dallo sviluppo di sintomi fisici (β = -.32; p<.001) e psicologici (β = -.48;
p<.001), promuovendo l’efficacia professionale (β = .41; p < .001).
Limiti. Questo studio trasversale utilizza soltanto misure self-report.
Aspetti innovativi. Analizzando come lavoratori con diversi livelli di resilienza percepiscono
molteplici potenziali fonti di stress lavoro-correlato e il ruolo di protezione di tale risorsa rispetto a
svariati esiti di salute, questo studio fornisce ulteriore supporto circa l’importanza di fornire ai
lavoratori training di resilienza psicologica

Mediating effect of burnout dimensions on musculoskeletal pain : the role of emotional intelligence and organisational identification
Full text linkAim/Purpose
The present study aims to frame the relationship between job and personal resources (namely, organizational identification and emotional intelligence), burnout, and musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., back pain, upper limb pain, lower limb discomfort), into the theoretical framework provided by the JD-R health model.
Background
Empirical research indicates a connection between burnout and the onset of musculoskeletal problems, one of the most important occupational health issues affecting all jobs and organizations. In light of the JD-R health model, we investigated the association between personal and job resources with burnout and musculoskeletal disorders.
Methodology
An anonymous online questionnaire was answered by 320 workers (82.4% female, Mage = 42.18; SDage = 12.24) investigating their perceived level of burnout, the presence of musculoskeletal pain (back, neck, and shoulder), and their level of organizational identification and emotional intelligence. Descriptive analysis, correlation, and moderated mediation model were performed using SPSS.
Contribution
We confirmed the role of personal and organizational resources in the salutogenic process considered by the JD-R health model. Emotional intelligence, decreasing the perceived level of burnout, limited the development of musculoskeletal disorders. Moreover, when organizational identification presented low and medium levels, the association between emotional intelligence and burnout strengthened.
Findings
Our results showed a negative, indirect effect of emotional intelligence on musculoskeletal disorders via burnout. Moreover, we found a moderation of organizational organization, indicating that at low and medium levels of identification, the association between emotional intelligence and burnout is stronger.
Recommendation for Researchers
In addition to work factors involved in the link between burnout and musculoskeletal disorders, it is also important to consider personal and emotional factors, which can decrease the occurrence of adverse consequences.
Future Research
Future research developments could contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms linking emotional intelligence, burnout, and musculoskeletal problems, as well as consider objective indicators of burnout levels or consider using ecological data collection methodologies (e.g., ecological momentary assessment), to identify patterns and associations between burnout and musculoskeletal disorders
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
