OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE AND PSYCHOLOGY AT WORK : Hiring managers and opportunities - LA MEDICINA DEL LAVORO E LA PSICOLOGIA DEL LAVORO : OPPORTUNITA' PER I MANAGER NELLE ASSUNZIONI DI DIPENDENTI

www.traduzionimedicinaesicurezzasulavoro.com OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE AND PSYCHOLOGY AT WORK : Hiring managers and  opportunities from the video 'Overqualification in Organisations' by University Western Australia Business School Hiring managers are concerned and rightly so  that overqualified employees will quit as soon as they find a better alternative.  Numerous studies support this in  that overqualified employees voluntarily quit their jobs.  If they don't do that, they engage in counterproductive work behaviors.  For example, they put little effort into their work or  they day dream or fantasise instead of working.  Engaging in such behaviors can jeopardise the careers of overqualified workers.  But why do they still engage in these behaviors?  My research shows that they feel cynical about the meaningfulness of their work,  or they may feel angry toward their employment situation.  ...

LEADER IDENTITY AT WORK

www.traduzionimedicinaesicurezzasulavoro.com LEADER IDENTITY AT WORK Intervista a Darja Milenko che sta completando il PhD (= dottorato di ricerca) alla UWA (Western University of Australia) Business School. Intervistatore : Cosa ti ha portato ad interessarti dell’argomento  ‘Leader Identity’? Darja : Circa tre anni fa, stavo insegnando nel corso di leadership e durante una discussione particolarmente interessante  che stavo avendo con uno studente, mi resi conto che non si vedevano come dei leader. E questo mi aveva fatto preoccupare, perché come possono guidare qualcuno , in quanto manager, se non si sentono tali ? Così decisi di focalizzarmi sul mio PhD nel capire come poterli aiutare a raggiungere questa ' Manager Identity'. Intervistatore : Cosa hai fatto nel tuo  PhD ? Darja : All’inizio ho condotto due studi longitudinali : Così  ho messo d’impegno gli studenti a studiare un programma di sviluppo della durata di sette settimane dove han...

Psychology at work : How do leaders emerge?- Psicologia del lavoro: COME EMERGONO I LEADER ?

www.traduzionimedicinaesicurezzasulavoro.com Psychology at work : How do  leaders  emerge ? We're going to be talking about what it feels like  to be a leader, and how leaders emerge.  One key thing to note though, is that leader emergence is very different to leader effectiveness.  You might feel like a leader, and everybody else may look to you to be the leader, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be a good leader. Have a read through these questions, pause the video and think about how you would answer them.  If you answered yes to them, then you have a strong leader identity.  If you answered maybe, or no, then chances are you don't see yourself as a leader and you have a weak leader identity.  Research has shown that the more a person believes him or her self to be a leader, the more likely it is that they will take on experiences that develop their skills and ...

WORK : DIVERSITY IN TEAMS - LAVORO : DIFFERENZE NELLE SQUADRE

traduzionimedicinaesicurezzasulavoro.com WORK : DIVERSITY IN TEAMS  Women now constitute half of the labour force, and many employees are ethnically diverse.  Such a growing diversification means that many teams in organisations have lots of employees of differing ages, race, gender, nationality, and culture. Is team diversity a good thing, or is it a bad thing? Well, research shows it can bring both opportunities and challenges.  First, we tend to like people who are similar to us and we treat people who are different from us with skepticism and uncertainty. We naturally tend to categorise others into either In group or Out group members based on visible social categories such as age, gender, and race. Social psychologists call this tendency social categorisation. According to social categorisation, teams that are too culturally or demographically diverse may find it difficult to work well together...

Barcelona has revealed plans to turn large parts of the city green- Barcellona ha mostrato dei piani per rendere grandi aree della città più verdi

www.traduzionimedicinaesicurezzasulavoro.com   Barcelona has revealed plans to turn large parts of the city green. The municipality announced a significant urban  greening programme  in May, which involves a doubling of the number of trees in the city, and an increase in the area covered by parks — some 100 football fields by 2019 ( 108 acres ) and over 400 by 2030.  The aim is to reduce the high temperatures that the city experiences during summer. Most of Barcelona ’s cooling green space is situated in the hills to the west of the city, rather than in the streets below, which can result in a difference of seven degrees celsius. Although space is tight, the city is planning five new gardens, linked to existing green spaces with avenues of trees. Temporary gardens will spring up on sites marked for construction, roads will be buried and parking space turned over for more green areas. As part of the urban greening plan, t...

European Commission Environment: Natura 2000-Commissione Europea dell'Ambiente: Natura 2000

www.traduzionimedicinaesicurezzasulavoro.com NATURA 2000 Natura 2000 is a network of core breeding and resting sites for rare and threatened species, and some rare natural habitat types which are protected in their own right. It stretches across all 28 EU countries, both on land and at sea. The aim of the network is to ensure the long-term survival of Europe 's most valuable and threatened species and habitats, listed under both the  Birds Directive  and the  Habitats Directive . The Natura 2000 Viewer  in an on-line tool that presents all Natura 2000 sites, provides key information on species and habitats for which each site has been designated, data on their estimated population size, conservation status and allows for various searches. Natura 2000 is not a system of strict nature reserves from which all human activities would be excluded. While it includes strictly protected nature reserves, most of the land remains privately owned. Th...

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND CLIMATE CHANGE- GLI INDIGENI ED I CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI

www.traduzionimedicinaesicurezzasulavoro.com Cultural Survival Quarterly Magazine INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND CLIMATE CHANGE- GLI INDIGENI ED I CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI Gli indigeni tendono a vivere a stretto contatto con la terra. Sono agricoltori di sussistenza, pastori, pescatori e cacciatori che hanno alle spalle millenni di conoscenza ed esperienza di ecologia e di cose simili. Con quell’esperienza e conoscenza, anche i cambiamenti più flebili nei cicli dell’acqua, della vita selvatica, del suolo e del tempo sono notati subito. Un contadino indigeno nota  subito che quest’anno un certo tipo di insetto è leggermente meno abbondante o che un particolare fiore sta sbocciando con tre anni d’anticipo. Sfortunatamente,  proprio questo stretto contatto con la terra che ha dato agli indigeni un tempestivo preavviso del riscaldamento globale significa  anche che dovranno soffrire le conseguenze di tale riscaldamento ad un livello molto più grande degli altri. ...
