Non-technical skills in social networks: The spread of safety communication and teamwork in a warehouse
Full text linkSafety at work should be considered as the result of the daily interaction of operators. The present research wants to analyze which factors are involved in the development of social networks about safety at work. We assumed that two relational non-technical skills, such as safety communication and safety team member support, affect the in-degree and out-degree bonds of workers in social networks. One hundred and eight workers of a warehouse were the participants of the research, in which they were asked to fill out a self-reported questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. Results confirmed that safety communication and safety support skills play a role in determining the quantity and the quality of social bonds that workers can create at the workplace. To be specific, while safety communication was found to be associated with out-degree centrality (b = 0.24; p = 0.01), a nonsignificant relationship was found for in-degree centrality. In contrast, safety team member support was found to be associated with in-degree centrality (b = 0.28; p = 0.04). In other words, on the one hand, it was found that high levels of safety communication skills are associated with the tendency of workers to proactively search for colleagues with whom they can share information about safety. On the other hand, workers with high levels of safety support skills tend to be considered as reference points in terms of safety by colleagues, who are more prone to look for their help. Implications for both scientists and practitioners are discussed

No full textRisorse linguistiche per la comunicazione nel settore del turismo
No full textCome affrontare la complessità linguistica e comunicativa che caratterizza il settore turistico? E, contestualmente, come affrontare le difficoltà dello studio linguistico? A tal riguardo è utile richiamare l'attenzione sul fatto che la possibilità di accedere ad una grande quantità di dati e di elaborarli con strumenti informatici ha cambiato radicalmente il panorama della ricerca, dell'apprendimento e della produzione di servizi anche in ambito linguistico.
Nell'ambito di una pubblicazione dedicata principalmente alla geografia, si desidera mettere in luce l'importanza delle lingue straniere in contesti turistici da un ulteriore
punto di vista. Da un'indagine è risultato che ca. il 19% degli intervistati ha indicato il rammarico di non riuscire a comunicare con gli italiani, neanche in inglese o in francese, lingue normalmente studiate a scuola. Va rilevato, infine, che le difficoltà di comunicazione
possono trasformarsi in un vero e proprio fattore economico nel momento in cui il turista preferisce scegliere una meta di viaggio che offra la possibilità di comunicare in modo soddisfacente sia con gli operatori turistici che con la gente del posto e esclude a priori i posti di villeggiatura
che presentino problemi di carattere linguistico
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
