“…Studies have reported that BS is a long lasting disease that can be associated with other health problems in the industrial population [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Until now, the relationship between BS and other health problems is not clear, since most studies focus only on one of the three BS dimensions: professional efficacy, cynicism, or emotional exhaustion.…”

This research relates Burnout Syndrome (BS) with the Body Mass Index (BMI) among middle and senior managers of the Mexican manufacturing industry. Even though BS incidence is high in the Mexican industrial population, few systematic studies have explored BS and its relationship with other health problems, such as obesity. The goal of this research is to determine the relationship between BS and the BMI in employees with normal weight, overweight, and obesity. We present three structural equation models to relate BS and the BMI. The BMI ranges were determined according to the parameters (normal weight, overweight, and obesity) proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The sample includes 361 employees that voluntarily answered a 31-item questionnaire. We measure the levels of BS using the Maslach Burnout Inventory–General Survey (MBI-GS) and analyze anthropometric and sociodemographic data from the participants. Then, we determine the relationships between the variables through structural equation models and estimate the direct, indirect, and total effects in the three models, which show acceptable reliability. As main findings, the normal weight model has a larger explanatory power than the overweight and obesity models. The same research hypotheses were tested and the effects of BS on the BMI differ across the three models. Such results are presented by taking into account that obesity and overweight require additional factors, such as genetic factors and personal eating habits, to be better explained.

This research study focuses on the coupling between particulate matter and the planetary boundary layer. Particulate matter affects human health and it is a complex mixture of suspended substances. Various sources of particulate matter include volcanic eruptions, soil lofted by strong winds, wildfires, and particles formed from chemical reactions of gas-phase emissions. Strong winds are one source of dust pollution when they loft soil particles. Particulate matter and the planetary boundary layer are closely linked. The planetary boundary layer plays a critical role in meteorology and particulate matter concentrations due to its involvement in energy, latent heat, and mass transfer with the free troposphere. Currently, there has been no research on the impact of dust events on the planetary boundary layer in our region, El Paso, Texas, which is located on one of the biggest sources of dust in the Western Hemisphere, the Chihuahuan Desert. In this study, we used PM10 concentrations to detect dust events during the 2016–2022 period in the El Paso region. During the study period, we observed 74 dust events. The dust events were categorized as synoptic or convective cases. Synoptic cases are associated with cold fronts, while convective cases are associated with local convective systems such as thunderstorms. We observed that synoptic cases occurred most frequently during springtime, while convective cases were more frequent during summer monsoon months. Synoptic cases tend to occur earlier in the afternoon with lower temperatures, while convective cases tend to occur in the late evening with higher temperatures. We also found that the planetary boundary layer height collapsed after the maximum hourly PM10 concentration and then the boundary layer returned to its original height.

PurposeMaintaining a healthy and productive workforce is a challenge for most organizations. This is even truer for health organization, facing staff shortages and work overload. The aim of this study is to identify the resources and constraints that influence managers' mental health and better understand how they are affected by them.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach was chosen to document the resources, the constraints as well as their consequences on managers in their day-to-day realities. The sample included executive-, intermediate- and first-level managers from a Canadian healthcare facility. A total of 62 semi-structured interviews were conducted. The coding process was based on the IGLOO model of Nielsen et al. (2018) to which an employee-related level was added (IGELOO).FindingsResults highlight the importance of considering both resources as well as constraints in examining managers' mental health. Overarching context, organizational constraints and the management of difficult employees played important roles in the stress experienced by managers.Practical implicationsThe results offer a better understanding of the importance of intervening at different levels to promote better organizational health. Results also highlight the importance of setting up organizational resources and act on the various constraints to reduce them. Different individual strategies used by managers to deal with the various constraints and maintain their mental health also emerge from those results.Originality/valueIn addition to addressing the reality of healthcare managers, this study supplements a theoretical model and suggests avenues for interventions promoting more sustainable organizational health.
