Background and objectives Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is a chronic, disabling neurological disease. Sleep-related symptoms and comorbidities such as psycho-cognitive disturbances, and a frequent childhood onset of the disease may negatively impact patients career. We conducted a multicentric comparative cross-sectional study in Reference/Competence Centers for Narcolepsy in France to investigate the educational and occupational paths of patients with NT1. Methods Between February 2020 and 2023, adult patients with NT1 regularly followed-up in the participating centers were invited to complete online questionnaires including the Epworth sleepiness Scale, Narcolepsy Severity Scale, Beck Depression Inventory II, Siegrist questionnaire, Adult Self-Report and Adult Behavior Checklist, and a customized questionnaire on academic and professional trajectories. Controls were selected from within the patients close circle. Comparisons were adjusted for sex and age, and the determinants of patients professional prognosis were quantified by a composite score including professional-related outcomes. Results Questionnaires were filled by 235 patients (63.8% women, 36.4+/-14.7 years, 86.5% treated, 66.4% with childhood onset) and 166 controls (69.9% women, 40.3+/-14.4 years). No difference was observed between patients and controls for grade repetition and graduation level distribution, but patients reported more interruptions in their scolarity which was considered difficult, with more absenteeism and lateness. No difference was observed for employment rate (69.5% vs 77.0%) and socio-professional category distribution, but income was lower in patients who reported more unwanted changes in position and part-time work, with increased effort-reward imbalance (OR=2.28 95% CI [1.20-4.33], p=0.01). Almost half of the patients benefited from an official disability recognition and 10.2% received invalidity benefits. Impaired professional prognosis was associated with depression (p<0.0001) and attention disorders (p=0.03), while being narcoleptic during schooling was a protective factor (p=0.02). Residual sleep-related symptoms were not significant predictors. Discussion Most patients with NT1 manage to achieve their careers goals, but at the cost of an effort/reward imbalance. Early diagnosis during childhood might allow a better adjustment to the disease. The critical role of co-morbidities in professional trajectories suggests that, in treated patients, psycho-cognitive disturbances have greater impact on daily functionning than sleep-related symptoms, and stresses the need to consider psycho-cognitivo-social dimensions in patient care.

“…During the 2020 pandemic years to the present, much research has focused on job performance. Among the frequent factors related to work performance during the pandemic were, e.g., fear of COVID-19 ( Sarwar et al, 2022 ), remote work ( Adekoya et al, 2022 ; Kirchner et al, 2021 ; Toscano and Zappalà, 2021 ; Kifor et al, 2022 ), sleep patterns ( Zhao et al, 2022 ), communication ( Amano et al, 2021 ), burnout syndrome ( Raja et al, 2022 ), or stress ( Kumar et al, 2021 ), etc.…”

Determinants of improving the relationship between corporate culture and work performance: Illusion or reality of serial mediation of leadership and work engagement in a crisis period?

et al. 2023

The disease COVID-19 has had an impact on the lives of all people in the world. It also had a great impact on the world economies themselves. There are several scientific publications on the impact of the COVID-19 disease on the work performance of employees, while researchers have focused on less traditional factors such as corporate culture, leadership, or work engagement as well. Corporate culture influences the shared values or behavior of employees at the workplace and creates an environment in which employees work. Through leadership, managers should be able to motivate their employees and thereby ensure their better work performance. It can be assumed that if employees are more engaged, their work performance will be higher. The main goal of the paper is to examine whether corporate culture has an impact on the work performance of employees through the mediators of leadership and work engagement. The data necessary for the goal set in this way were obtained through a questionnaire survey, which was attended by 489 respondents during the year 2022. After the data reliability analysis, by using serial mediation with two mediators, the influence of corporate culture on work performance was verified independently, but also through the mediators of leadership and work engagement. Based on the results, it can be claimed that individual factors have a significant impact on work performance, while the influence of corporate culture mediated by leadership and work engagement was also confirmed. The influence of corporate culture, mediated only by leadership, and the independent influence of corporate culture through work engagement on work performance were also confirmed.
