“…In the case of Research Institute 9, management innovation was low but increased after the flexible work system was introduced. This is the same as studies showing that flexible work increases company management innovation [74][75][76]. The effect of the flexible working system is especially evident when it is applied to research positions, which can be seen as a characteristic of research.…”

As the external environment changes rapidly, organizations need management innovation to adapt to and exploit change as an opportunity. To innovate, it is necessary to evaluate management innovation, because if an organization can measure the degree of management innovation, it can also achieve it. Moreover, if management innovation is predictable, profits can be maximized, and costs can be minimized by allocating efficient resources and establishing appropriate strategies. Therefore, this study attempts to predict the management innovation in public research institutions. Basic data mining and ensemble data mining techniques were used for the prediction. This analysis targeted public research institutes in South Korea. The results showed that the predictive power of public research institutions with high innovation was high. This study suggests that management innovation can be predicted in highly innovative public research institutions. Furthermore, this study’s framework can be applied to other industries.

“…Given the apparent advantages of flexitime in terms of personal convenience and opportunities for self-direction, it is surprising that this group of nurses, compared with the other two subgroups of community nurses, reported relatively greater psychological strain and more negative perceptions of the work environment, including higher levels of time urgency and pressure of work. This counter-intuitive finding is however not unique in the literature (Rainey & Wolf 1982).…”

This study compares hospital- (n = 67) and community-based (n = 55) mental health nurses in relation to their perceptions of the work environment and also their psychological health. Measures include: the General Health Questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Work Environment Scale. The data, obtained from self-returned questionnaires, show that community nurses rated their work environments higher for the dimensions of Involvement, Supervisor Support, Autonomy, Innovation and Work Pressure. Hospital nurses saw their environments as being higher in (managerial) Control. There were no differences between the groups for the dimensions of Peer Cohesion, Task Orientation, Clarity or (physical) Comfort. Furthermore, there were no overall differences between the two groups in relation to psychological health, although the pattern of factors associated with emotional well-being differed. Finally, analyses of the community data revealed that those nurses with 'flexitime' arrangements evaluated their work environments less positively and showed higher levels of psychological strain than did those working 'fixed-time' schedules. The findings suggest that the hospital and community environments make different demands on nursing staff, and that this should be considered when organizing nursing services if stress is to be avoided.

“…Our study illustrates the effects of ergonomics on problems of musculoskeletal system, focusing on office ergonomics, posture, adjustable chair, working hours, intervals, physical activity and prolong sitting. The authors of reviewed various studies that physical and psychosocial factors of the individual can contribute to the development and persistence of musculoskeletal symptoms 18,19,20 . This study was conducted to compare the frequency of MSDs among private and public sector bankers, as they are more prone to WRMSDs due to prolong sitting on computers.…”

To compare the frequency of common musculoskeletal disorders due to prolong sitting among private and public sector bankers. This study was a cross-sectional study. Participants between 25-50 years of age, working in banks for more than one year were inducted in the study. All bankers were divided into private and public sector groups. Employees were selected from private sector and public sector banks of Karachi. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from bankers of both sectors. The study shows that 44.6% government employees were suffering from shoulder pain, while 36.9% private sector bankers having this problem. Among them 18.2% of public sector bankers suffered from neck pain. However, only 9% of public sector bankers perform gym activity regularly. The result of the study shows that, participants who work for prolong period of time adapted poor posture while sitting have high frequency of musculoskeletal disorders. The study also shows that private sector bankers are more vigilant about their health and posture as compared to the public sector bankers.
