“…We included several demographic factors as control variables, as the literature has identified their importance in explaining workers' perception of job autonomy. For example, Dong et al (2021) found that employees with long working hours benefited more from job autonomy. Aspøy (2020) found that employees without higher education exercised less job autonomy.…”

Researchers have assumed that Westerners exercise higher job autonomy than Easterners. However, recent studies have reported mixed and even contradictory findings. The authors distinguish between two types of job autonomy, namely goal and execution autonomy, to examine the relevant cultural differences. The former denotes participation in setting work goals and making plans for meeting those goals, while the latter denotes the ability to complete tasks flexibly. Four studies with a total sample of 1192 participants working in financial or insurance companies were conducted. Study 1a generated items for a new measure of the two types of job autonomy and explored its factor structure. Studies 1b and 1c verified its construct validity and predictive capacity. Study 2 confirmed the structural and metric equivalence of the measure between samples from the United Kingdom and China. The results of Study 2 suggested that the Chinese workers were likely to have high execution autonomy but low goal autonomy, whereas the British workers tended to have high goal autonomy but low execution autonomy. The theoretical and practical implications of job autonomy in cross‐cultural contexts are discussed.

“…According to A. H. Badalova, "...personnel safety of an organization is the process of preventing negative impacts on its economic security through risks and threats associated with personnel, their intellectual potential and labor relations in general ..." [5]. In turn, V. K. Senchagov interprets the organization's personnel safety as "... its provision with human resources, the formation of an effective system of personnel management and communication policy ...."

The functional safety is a key management task, considering that public organizations have to work in the rapidly changing environment, in the conditions of growing competition in the medical sphere, and spread of influence of information technology on the development of a public organizations.The situations when administration is more interested in the impact of natural and technological aspects on the safety of an organization happens more often, while the main threats are coming from people though, and in many cases from employees. The aim is to substantiate the scientific and theoretical provisions on the essence of personnel safety of a public organizations and to establish future measures to strengthen it. We used methods of analysis and synthesis, comparative and monographic methods. The results and conclusions of our work are the management of personnel safety of a health care institution is an integral part of the personnel management system of a public organizations, aimed at identifying, neutralizing and preventing risks and threats that are associated with the use of personnel and can potentially lead to negative consequences for a public organizations. It also requires the protection of employees, the creating of favorable conditions for work, meeting needs and achieving development goals.

“…The conflicted autonomy theme seems to represent more than the time pressures involved in meeting consumer demands. There is no standard-setting process for farming methods in CSAs and this can cause several work-related stresses in connection with farmers' work scheduling and decision-making autonomy, also influencing their psychological empowerment [61][62][63].…”

The wellbeing paradox in Hungarian local sustainable agriculture: a health psychology approach

et al. 2022

Background The literature suggests that farmers’ work involves a number of operational difficulties. Although alternative food networks address the majority of their problems, they can potentially generate new hardships. The aim of this study is to examine the situational and engagement-related work difficulties associated with the everyday world of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farmers. Methods This study used the health psychology approach, namely interpretive phenomenology, to understand the social determinants of farmers’ working lives in CSA and to explore mental health challenges within the practices of local sustainable farming. To collect data, semi-structured, in-person interviews were conducted with CSA farmers in Hungary. Results Our study shows that new modes of consumer-producer connectivity create novel situations and issues which farmers are forced to address. Three personal experiential themes emerge from the data to describe CSA farmers’ work difficulties: (1) Conflicted autonomy; (2) The pressure of boxes; (3) Social overload. The difficulties for CSA farmers seem to be rooted in the economic characteristics of alternative agriculture where farmers organize food production for the satisfaction of consumer needs. In addition, structural conditions require several different CSA farmer roles, which could even be conflicting. Conclusion This study provides participants’ perspectives on the health and wellbeing costs of sustainable farming. Newer producer-consumer connections require both time and experience and involve extra effort or skills, but farmers often lack these abilities. The results show how perceptions of work processes relate to the general framework of CSA, which necessitates a distinct strategy for farm management.
