“…The study found that the level of productivity in industries that posted better work-related attitudes was better than those industries where employees had poor employee attitudes. These findings also support the findings of Jahangiri et al (2017) who conducted a critical literature review on attitudes that affect employee productivity of construction workers and identified safety perception and attitudes of employees as major factors influencing employee productivity. These results can also be explained by the postulates of the tip of the iceberg theory developed by McClelland (2000) that some factors which allowed employees to excel in their work were not appearing on the surface and lead to huge employee productivity losses in terms of error rates, worktime and unaccomplished tasks.…”

“…A study by Cox and Cox (2018) found that safety programmes demonstrate organisational commitment to safety and therefore lead to the safety of the work environment which enhances positive safety culture and attitudes among employees. Jahangiri et al (2017) who did a critical literature review on attitudes that affect employee productivity of construction workers identified safety perception and attitudes of employees as major factors influencing employee productivity. These three studies were critical literature reviews but failed to generate original findings on the subject.…”

Orientation: The manufacturing sector in Kenya has been experiencing employee safety and productivity issues despite adopting safety programmes and laws regulating employee safety. Employee safety attitudes significantly worsen workplace safety and productivity problems.Research purpose: The study determined the intervening effect of workplace safety attitudes on the relationship between workplace safety and employee productivity in manufacturing firms in Kenya.Motivation for the study: Manufacturing firms adopt new technologies that expose employees to new safety risks, while globalisation has led to a diverse workforce with diverse safety attitudes.Research approach/design and method: This study is grounded on the risk homeostasis theory; it adopted a cross-sectional survey research design guided by a positivist research philosophy. The target population comprised 853 manufacturing firms registered with the Kenya Association of Manufacturers. A sample of 124 firms distributed across the 14 sub-sectors in the manufacturing sector was obtained using a statistical formula to ensure all sectors were represented. Regression analysis was carried out in four steps to assess the intervening effect of workplace safety attitude on the relationship between workplace safety attitude and employee productivity.Main findings: The coefficients were significant in each step, therefore leading to the conclusion that employee safety attitude significantly intervened in the relationship between workplace safety and employee productivity.Practical/managerial implications: The study offers managerial insights into the situational position of workplace safety, employee safety attitudes and employee productivity.Contribution/value-add: The study provides epistemological insights on the impact of employee safety attitudes on workplace safety and employee productivity.

“…Pocos estudios examinan qué políticas pueden ayudar a los trabajadores desplazados por el comercio y la modernización y que afecta a los empleados y los destina a verse reemplazados por no estar capacitados (Maake et al, 2021). La capacitación durante el desempleo, permanecen poco investigados (Im & Shin, 2022), por lo que las capacitaciones tienen que con el conocimiento (Jahangiri et al, 2022) y estas deben ser evaluadas para tener buenas expectativas en el desarrollo laboral (Selamat et al, 2021). La formación profesional y la capacitación ya no se limitan a impartir las habilidades duras necesarias para acceder al empleo industrial.…”

La investigación tuvo como objetivo realizar una revisión de la literatura en bases de datos de revistas indexadas sobre la capacitación en el sector público de Perú en el período 2020-2022. La metodología empleada fue la revisión sistemática y las bases de datos consultados fueron Scopus y Scielo. Se aplicó la guía Prisma para la selección de estudios y Strobe para evaluar la calidad editorial y metodológica. La búsqueda se realizó utilizando palabras relacionadas al tema de investigación, entre ellas; “capacitación en el sector público” “gestión de la capacitación”. En la búsqueda inicial considerando la palabra “training in the public sector” se identificaron 7628 artículos científicos de los cuales se tamizaron 817 artículos que incluyeron la variable capacitación en el sector público en título o resumen, quedando excluidos 6758 artículos. Con base en la aplicación de criterios de inclusión y exclusión se seleccionaron 150 artículos que guardan relación directa con el tema de investigación y finalmente se meta-analizaron 57 publicaciones científicas. Los hallazgos de la revisión sistemática de los artículos seleccionados en las diferentes bases de datos, evidencian que todos los autores coinciden sobre la importancia de la gestión de la capacitación en el sector público. La gestión de la capacitación debe ser una política institucional de las entidades públicas. La gestión de la capacitación debe ser implementada y diseñada por cada una de las entidades y esta debe de gestionarse en funciones de los niveles y de los cargos, así como de las funciones que realiza el servidor dentro de la entidad.

KF-AD is a mask used to prevent droplet (saliva) infection, and a surgical mask is a mask that is worn during medical examination, treatment, or surgery [13,14,16]. KF94 is considered of a similar grade as the US NIOSH N95 and European FFP2 masks [29], and KF80 is considered to be of a similar grade as FFP1 [30].…”

Background Particulate matter and infectious diseases confer serious health risks, particularly in healthcare workers who experience occupational exposure risk. Masks can provide effective protection against such risks, although their efficacy is only as good as their fit. Therefore, a fit test is performed to ensure correct fit of the mask. In this study, we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence system to quickly and easily determine correct mask-wearing in real time using thermal videos that ascertained temperature changes caused by air trapped inside the mask. Methods We investigated the effectiveness of deep learning-based identification of the correct way to wear a mask based on thermal videos with five types of masks, which were approved as quasi-drugs by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and four ways of wearing these masks including one proper way and three improper ways. The same conditions were repeated five times, with a total of 100 videos per participant, and 5000 videos were obtained in this study. We used a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3DCNN) and Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (ConvLSTM) for data analysis. Both models performed binary and multi-classification to categorize mask-wearing. Results 3DCNN performed better than ConvLSTM by achieving higher scores in both binary and multi-classification tasks. The AUROC value for multi-classification using 3DCNN was the highest at 0.986 whereas the remaining parameters of accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, and F1-score were all better with the binary classification. All mask types showed AUROC values > 0.9, with KF-AD being the best classified. Conclusion This novel approach uses thermal imaging and deep learning techniques to effectively monitor correct mask-wearing and could be useful in high-risk environments, including in healthcare settings. This method can be applied to various mask types, which enables easy generalizability and advantages in public and occupational health and healthcare. Furthermore, integrating this novel technology into other screening methods can improve the safety and well-being of people, including healthcare workers, in various situations.
