“…Undoubtedly, feelings of discontentment can arise from unproductive settings and reduce satisfaction within the working environment. Workers perceived heat to impact job satisfaction on a daily or weekly basis, congruent with other studies conducted in hot occupational settings (Dawal and Taha, 2006;Dehghan et al, 2016;Dianat et al, 2016). Further, a total of 30 workers reported between 63 and 89 days of sick leave due to heat-related illness, while only 15 workers sought medical attention.…”

Therefore, this study measured the prevalence of heat-stress symptoms and impact of heat exposure on labourintensive industries within the Monsoonal North region of Australia. A cohort of 179 workers completed a questionnaire evaluating environmental exposure, chronic (recurring) and/or severe (synonymous with heat stroke) symptoms of heat stress, and impact within work and home settings. Workers reported both chronic (79%) and severe (47%) heat stress symptoms, with increased likelihood of chronic symptoms when exposed to heat sources (OR 1.5-1.8, p = 0.002-0.023) and decreased likelihood of both chronic and severe symptoms when exposed to airconditioning (Chronic: OR 0.5, p = < 0.001, Severe: OR 0.7, p = 0.019). Negative impacts of heat exposure were reported for both work and home environments (30-60% respectively), highlighting the need for mitigation strategies to reduce occupational heat stress in the Monsoonal North.

This paper aims at exploring the perspective of sustainability when digital transformation is adopted by one organization, although it was not the first goal targeted. Two different cases are analyzed, covering manufacturing and service industries. In those cases different factors will be analyzed, mainly focused on the positive effects of knowledge creation facilitated by direct or indirect application of digitalization. Specific analysis of different cases were carried out to identify different initiatives and the impact on environmental performance. The positive effects of the institutional dimension were also assessed.

“…The obtained results suggested that heat has an impact on job performance but has no significant impact on job satisfaction and occupational stress. 5 The insignificant results for job satisfaction and occupational stress by the dentists may be because they were scared of losing their jobs. This is in accordance with a study conducted by Kobza J et al and Pandita V et al where the dentists where reasonably satisfied with their jobs.…”

INTRODUCTION AND AIM: Environment is closely related to human health. While the effects of temperature on comfort are broadly recognized, the effects on worker productivity have received much less attention. Thus this research was planned to investigate the eﬀects of heat stress on job satisfaction, job performance, occupational stress among dentists. MATERIALS AND METHOD: This research was designed to be cross-sectional in nature where a convenience sampling of 70 interns, 88 post-graduate students and 49 faculty members of IDS Bareilly were selected. Questionnaires were self-administered and contained twelve points for job satisfaction (Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire), thirteen points for occupational stress and twelve for job performance RESULTS: The subjects were moderately satisfied with their jobs, were less stressed and had a moderate job performance. After descriptive tests, the Chi-squared test, Pearson and Spearman Correlation Coeﬃcient was applied to test statistical significance and p value was set to be significant at p<0.5. DISCUSSION: The present study showed that most of the dentists (60.9%) had a high sense of heat and such results may be because of the current hospital framework which includes lack of air conditioners, continuous patient workload in hospital, high sense of heat among the dentists working in top floors etc. CONCLUSION: If effective prevention measures are taken in the hospitals, dentists may perform more efficiently and also the increase the job satisfaction.
