High mental health risks and life imbalance among postdoctoral fellows (postdocs) are persistent concerns in academia. However, little is known about the relationship between these two subjects and whether autonomy at work is linked to life balance among postdocs. Online survey responses from 117 postdocs (59% women; 49% non-Hispanic white) were assessed using multiple linear regression analysis to examine whether the work-method autonomy and perceived boundary control of postdocs were linked to life balance.

Background: NLN retention is a significant contributing factor to the nursing shortage.
Methods: A 126-item survey measuring demographics, burnout, resilience, work environment, and job plans distributed via email, using Listservs to recruit nurses licensed for 5 years or less.
Fathers are underrepresented in food parenting research partly due to the lack of succinct, theory-informed, and father-mother equivalent food parenting measurement tools. To address this, we 1) tested the factorial validity of a brief food parenting measure utilizing a subset of items from the Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire (CFPQ) to represent coercive control, structure, and autonomy support, 2) assessed the extent to which the brief tool works similarly in fathers and mothers (i.e.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates whether using perceptions of safety policies from both managers and workers is more effective at predicting injury rates than using just one group's views.
- It employs multilevel logistic regression to analyze the relationship between perceptions and actual injury instances over the year following a survey, focusing on three safety scales.
- Results show that worker perceptions are linked to injury rates, while manager perceptions do not enhance predictive value, indicating the need to assess the utility of perceptions from both groups before deciding which to survey.
