“…In this regard, universities should organize workshops or seminars to cultivate psychological health awareness among students and faculty members, especially the interventions should be aligned with the clinical field of the health system. It has also been ascertained that psychological health training programs effectively manage mental health-related matters (Simola 2019 ). The findings also provide informative theoretical and practical implications for concerned educational authorities in considering how students’ challenges may resolve to acquire positive student achievements.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a dramatic change in teaching–learning practices in higher education across the world. The post-pandemic era with a new shift of teaching–learning phase raises the concern of students' psychological well-being, especially the novice, i.e., first-year undergraduate students, as first-year students often struggle to adjust to the new environment of higher institutions, thereby depressive symptoms are more prevalent among them. In this regard, a qualitative study was conducted followed by a dyadic approach to explore the symptoms of students’ psychological stressors, their causes, and provide essential remedies for coping with such behaviors in the post-pandemic era. The findings show that students’ stressors were commonly reported due to the academic workload, institutional regulations, lack of resources, and financial constraints. Regarding indications, unusual behavior, lack of confidence, improper sleep, and lack of motivation were identified as the primary symptoms of students’ stress. However, participants reported a lack of understanding regarding stress-related matters. Yet, students and faculty members try to adopt several strategies for reducing such stressors. By examining the perceived psychological stress, indications, and coping behaviors, this study enriches the literature by bridging pragmatic and theoretical gaps regarding students’ stressors of business management. Furthermore, the study mainly suggests that adequate institutional support should be provided to deal with students’ problems that cause stress. Also, universities should organize workshops or seminars to cultivate psychological health awareness among students and faculty members.

This research is a systematic literature review on the role of Human Resource Management (HRM) in employee well-being and mental health. This literature review aims to identify HRM practices that influence employee well-being and mental health, as well as to evaluate their impact on organizational performance. The results of the literature review show that HRM practices such as working time flexibility, support from superiors and colleagues, career development opportunities, organizational justice and compensation policies, a healthy and safe work environment, recognition of achievements, participation and decision making opportunities play an important role in improving employee well-being and mental health. The implications of these findings support the need for organizations to prioritize the implementation of HRM practices oriented towards employee well-being as a strategy to improve overall organizational performance.

“…Self-rated health in association with household wealth and income has been researched in Finland among middle-aged men and women in 2010 (Aittomaki, Martikainen et al, 2010: 1018. It was concluded that low household wealth is strongly associated with poor self-related health, therefore stressing the importance of income levels on the self-assessment of health, as well as the importance to well-being of being able to access care on health issues (Simola 2019: 312: Ronda, Van Assema, Ruland, Steenbakkers, Brug 2003.…”

The self-evaluation of health in Latvia has recently gained a special awareness, due to the financing for health being among the lowest in the European Union. Latvia has recently faced various difficulties, such as problems paying the salaries of medical personnel, and medical personnel emigrating to work in other countries. The aim of the study is to analyse the self-evaluation of health by inhabitants in the regions of Latvia. Research methods used in the preparation of this paper: the analysis of scientific publications and results of previously conducted research; the analysis of the results of a survey on household income and expenses conducted by the EU-SILC and the European Central Bank, compared with the results from other EU countries. The results of the survey are analysed using descriptive statistics indicators and cross-tabulations for the regions of Latvia. For areas, urban-rural living and ANOVA analysis of variance are used. To analyse self-evaluations by regions, the correlation of the relationship between health self-evaluation and educational level is used. The results of the analysis indicate that the situation of the regions of Latvia in the context of health self-evaluation is very different, and that there are very big demands on decision makers to find the best possible solution.
