“…Women face a number of widely recognized barriers to assuming leadership roles including a lack of visible role models and mentors 19 ; disproportionate responsibilities in the home 20 ; actual or perceived exclusion from social and networking events 12,[21][22][23][24] ; sexual harassment and discrimination 15 ; and gender biases that disadvantage leadership styles more typically associated with women 15 . In particular, the lack of visible role models makes it literally and metaphorically harder for women to 'see themselves' in leadership roles -a phenomenon that has been widely documented 15,21 .…”

Introduction: Like other public safety professions, paramedicine has historically been a male-dominated occupation, both in the demography of its workforce and in its organizational culture. Although women are increasingly choosing paramedicine as a career, participation in leadership roles remains limited. Drawing on data from a recent comprehensive mental health survey, we describe the proportion of women in leadership in a single, large, urban paramedic service in Ontario, Canada. Methods: We distributed an in-person, paper-based survey during the fall 2019 - winter 2020 Continuing Medical Education (CME) sessions. Participating paramedics completed a demographic questionnaire alongside a battery of mental health screening tools. We assessed the demography of the workforce and explored differences in employment classification, provider level (e.g., primary vs. advanced care), and participation in formal leadership roles along self-reported gender lines. Results: Out of 607 paramedics attending CME, we received 600 completed surveys, with 11 excluded for missing data, leaving 589 for analysis and a 97% response rate. Women comprised 40% of the active-duty paramedic workforce, with an average of 8 years of experience. Compared to men, women were more than twice as likely to have a university degree (Odds Ratio [OR] 2.02), but almost half as likely to practice at the Advanced Care Paramedic level (OR 0.61), and somewhat less likely to be employed full-time (OR 0.77). Women were nearly 70% less likely to hold a leadership role in the service compared to men (OR 0.36), occupying just 20% of leadership positions. Conclusion: Although paramedicine is witnessing an encouraging shift in the demography of its workforce with greater participation from women, there is still work to be done, particularly in leadership. Future research should focus on identifying and ameliorating barriers to career advancement among women and other historically underrepresented people.

“…Additionally, working students are more time-constrained and may prioritize gaining professional experience over obtaining high grades. It may be important to investigate this relationship further and verify whether it is related to, for example, the necessity to work (Mounsey et al , 2013) or with gender differences (Pirtskhalaishvili et al , 2021). The obtained results are in line with scientists’ findings of the possible Janus effect of PWA on student achievement (Makarenko and Pershina, 2017; Fedorenko, 2014).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate whether paid work activity (PWA) experience of students from five emerging economies is related to academic results and self-assessment of possessed entrepreneurial traits. Additionally, the authors verify the relationship between obtaining work experience and the willingness to start own business among students. Design/methodology/approach Participants included 3,631 students of the first level of higher education at six universities in five countries (Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine). A survey questionnaire was used which included questions on the previous work experience, paid work during university studies, the assessment of competencies related to entrepreneurship and the assessment of the desirability of entrepreneurship as a career choice. Findings Findings indicate that students who engaged in PWA before studies are more likely to do it during studies. PWA during studies is related to perceiving oneself as a worse-performing student, but also to the perception of oneself as an entrepreneurial person. No such relationship was found for the PWA experience before entering the university. It was also found that students are likely to start their businesses after obtaining work experience. Practical implications Practical implications pertain to the role of the contemporary academic institutions that should consider their approach to enabling students’ PWA and teaching them how to engage in it for the benefit of their own and the societies to which they belong. It is argued that it may be particularly essential in emerging economies. Originality/value The correlates of PWA of students have been underexplored. This paper allows broadening the current understanding of this phenomenon. The authors investigated its relationship with feeling entrepreneurial and academic achievements among young people from five emerging economies, which provides valuable insights for policymakers and educational institutions. It is argued that such insights may be particularly essential in emerging economies. Additionally, the authors contribute to advancing two theories that have not been extensively used in the entrepreneurial context: expectancy theory and social learning theory of career development.

The article aims to empirically determine the effective strategies to manage intellectual work (IW) productivity (IWP) in distance learning (DL), for example, university teachers in Georgia. Based on the expert assessment methods, determining indicators for assessing the level of Teacher Intellectual Work Productivity (TIWP) of three large universities in Georgia and its current level was analyzed using the method of integral assessment. Using the ANOVA method, determined the main factors influencing the TIWP at DL. We use the decision tree to systematize the factors of influence to TIWP and substantiate effective management strategies, taking into account teachers' qualifications, age category, and competencies to ensure the continuity and quality of DL. The results allow flexibility in managing the TIWP in the DL conditions and determining the most effective management strategies, taking into account the characteristics of teachers and the current level of development of the TIWP.
