Cinismo e giustizia nell’ambiente di lavoro
No full textIntroduzione
Gli studi effettuati nell’ambito della gestione delle Risorse Umane hanno evidenziato che l’implementazione di pratiche che influenzano la soddisfazione e il coinvolgimento dei lavoratori sono un vantaggio determinante per l’organizzazione (Becker e Gerhart, 1996). Se è vero che le organizzazioni oggi richiedono più frequentemente ai dipendenti di lavorare di più, incrementare il proprio bagaglio di competenze, che genere di risposta potranno attendersi dai“cinici”?
Obiettivi e Metodi
Gli obiettivi del presente studio sono due. Il primo è verificare la relazione tra cinismo organizzativo e la percezione di giustizia organizzativa; un secondo è esplorare, tramite l’analisi testuale, le cause che generano cinismo su un campione di 88 lavoratori. Gli strumenti sono: la versione italiana della scala del cinismo (Brandes, Dharwadkar e Dean,1999; ad. Italiano Bobbio, Manganelli e Spadaro, 2006); la scala di giustizia organizzativa (Colquitt, 2001).
Risultati
La correlazione tra cinismo e giustizia organizzativa ha evidenziato una relazione negativa (r= -.521 p.< .01 test ad una coda). L’analisi testuale ha permesso di identificare 55 cause di cinismo (28 positive e 27 negative). Due poli sembrerebbero spiegare il costrutto: la soddisfazione lavorativa (8 persone la indicano come causa), che sembrerebbe legata alla coerenza organizzativa, alla collaborazione e all’autonomia; l’insoddisfazione lavorativa (4 persone la indicano come causa), che sembrerebbe invece collegata all’ambiguità dell’azione alla mancanza di meritocrazia e all’incapacità organizzativa.
Conclusioni
Per quanto riguarda possibili sviluppi futuri, sarebbe interessante ampliare il ventaglio delle variabili che possono essere messe in relazione con il cinismo al fine di testare modelli di relazioni causali e approfondire le cause che ne favoriscono l’emergere

Job demands and negative outcomes after the lockdown: The moderating role of stigma towards italian supermarket workers
Full text linkThe Job Demands-Resources model hypothesises that some variables (especially personal and social resources/threats) moderate the relationship between job demands and work outcomes. Based on this model, in this study we examine the role of stigma towards customers as a moderator of the relationship between job demands and a series of work outcomes: that is, fatigue, burnout, and satisfaction. We advance that the relationships between work demands and outcomes should be influenced by the employee’s perceptions regarding resources and constraint. In particular, we hypothesised that social stigma towards customers can represent a reliable moderating variable. Hypotheses were tested among 308 Italian supermarket workers in five supermarkets in the same chain, just after the end of the Italian lockdown caused by COVID-19. Results showed that stigma towards customers moderates the relationship between job demands and the consequences on the professional quality of life. The implications of these findings for the JD-R model are discussed
Employability and job insecurity: The role of personal resources on work-related stress
Full text linkThis study is aimed to assess the effect of both employability and personal resources, in terms of pro-activity and self-efficacy, on the relationship between job insecurity and psycho-social distress. Using survey data from 211 participants, among employed, unemployed and workers in transition, we analyzed the incidence of employability, pro-activity and efficacy on psycho-social distress. Our results showed that the above-mentioned variables significantly differed by participants’ gender and age. The structural theoretical model proposed to assess the significance of the hypothesized paths exhibited good fit with the data. Thus, all our hypotheses were supported. Findings are in line with previous research, and practical implications may give significant effects when applied in new labor policies undertaken by local governments
What prompts doctors to recommend covid-19 vaccines: Is it a question of positive emotion?
No full textVaccines are among the most successful and cost-effective public health tools and have greatly contributed to eliminating or controlling several serious vaccine-treatable diseases over the past century. To curb the spread of COVID-19, efficacious vaccination is emerging as essential in mitigating the disease and preventing deaths. Health care workers (HCW) are one of the first groups to receive vaccinations, so it is important to consider their attitudes to COVID-19 vaccination to better address barriers to widespread vaccination acceptance. This study aimed to evaluate variables that are linked with the recommendation of vaccines and intention to take-up vaccination against COVID-19 among the HCWs, in the context of the current pandemic. The study was conducted during the first week of the vaccination campaign dedicated to Italian HCWs, beginning in December 2020, and it involved all doctors in a public hospital in Sicily. The following questionnaires were administered: (1) The perceived vaccine trust questionnaire, measuring the degree of trust in vaccines by healthcare professionals both in general and for the protection of healthcare professionals themselves and patients, (2) the positive and negative affect scale-state (PANAS), for assessing positive and negative emotions in relation to their work as “frontline care providers”, (3) The locus of control of behaviour (LCB) to measure the extent to which subjects perceive responsibility for their personal behaviour (internal vs. external), (4) recommendation vaccines item, referring to the intention to recommend vaccination. The findings suggest that socio-demographic control variables (age, gender, and seniority) showed little or no predictive power in vaccine recommendation, while vaccine confidence, positive emotions, and internal locus of control were excellent predictors of vaccine recommendations by doctors. Younger doctors, both in age and experience, are more confident in vaccines and recommend them more frequently. It is essential to improve institutional communication addressed to doctors to enhance their role as vaccination facilitators
