“…However, accumulated experience results are relatively straightforward, indicating that individuals with fewer years of experience, gaining their professional knowledge and skills, are more likely to be underemployed (Reynolds, 2004;Golden and Altman, 2008). The overemployment seems to be then associated with experience by the inverted u-shaped pattern, known well in labour economics (Tam, 2010;Fernandez and Shiang, 2017;De Moortel et al, 2018), documenting that individuals start to prefer fewer working hours at particular career stage. Surprisingly, not many studies have attempted to quantify the turning point, calculated in our regression model to be 14 years.…”

This research examines the working hours preferences of the employees in selected Central European countries, specifically in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. Using the country-representative data from the 2017 edition of the European Union Labour Force Survey (EU LFS), the study investigates the discrepancies between respondents' desired working hours and those usually worked per week. A comparative econometric analysis of those individuals who work more than they wish (overemployed) and those who work less than they desire (underemployed) is conducted. Several interesting observations came out of the performed analysis. We document some significant variables shaping these two situations occurring in the Central European labour markets. The obtained findings document the heterogeneity concerning gender, education, migration background, experience and occupation.

“…(Arifudin, Sudirman, 2017). The factors significantly related to over employment are ethnicity, age, education, number of children in the household, occupation, hours of work, and control over work schedule (Fernandez, 2017). Preliminary numbers, types, and distribution of health workers may result in a lack of public access to quality health care and the emergence of issues with referral and patient handling in specific cases (Kemenkes RI, 2014) .…”

Providers and organizers of health care in the city are health professionals. The number of health workers needed in Samarinda has not yet been determined according to WHO guidelines, which is a ratio that compares the number of health workers to the population. The method used in this study is a descriptive-analytical non-experimental design (cross-sectional). Following the study's goals, research participants used secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency's report for Samarinda City in 2018/2019 in the form of social and population data. Results: The number of doctors in Samarinda did not meet the WHO minimum requirements for the ratio of doctors to population of 1:2,500, with a ratio of 1:10,249 in the Samarinda Seberang district. The number of nurses is identical, but the standard ratio of 1:855 cannot be met; six sub-districts fail to meet the ratio, Sungai Pinang is the most effective sub-district in terms of achieving the nurse-to-population ratio. Apart from Samarinda Ulu and Samarinda Kota, the distribution of pharmacists has caught the attention of almost all districts in the city of Samarinda, a total of eight districts. Even one pharmacy in the Sungai Pinang district must serve 54,386 people.. Conclusion: The distribution of health workers in Samarinda is not equally distributed, owing primarily to external issues.

“…In addition, there are studies related to the research topic, such as Fernandez & Shiang (2017), who examined the likelihood of overemployment among employees in a particular state in Malaysia (Penang). A logit model is used to analyze the relationship between the likelihood of overemployment and various socio-demographic, household and work-related variables.…”

The study aims to identify and measure factors affecting the salaries of employees in manufacturing enterprises in Hanoi, the important area of Vietnam's economy. We conducted a questionnaire consisting of 31 observation variables with a 5-point Likert scale. Independent variables were measured from 1 "without effect" to 5 "strongly". Based on the literature review and results of interviews, a total of 350 questionnaires were sent to participants; 300 of them met the standards and were subject to be analyzed. The results of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) identify six main determinants influencing the salaries of employees in manufacturing enterprises in Hanoi, including Paying views of business leaders (PV), Financial ability of the enterprise (FA), Capacity of workers (CW), Capacity of the contingent of employees engaged in salary work (CC), Role of grassroots trade unions (TU), and State policies and laws on labor-salaries (STL). Based on the findings, some recommendations have been proposed to help the firm leaders design appropriate personnel policies for creating better job satisfactions for employees in the future. On this basis, the authors propose a number of recommendations to improve the salaries of employees in manufacturing enterprises in Hanoi.
