The projected growth of new technologies, increasing use of automation, and continued consolidation of health-related services suggest that continued study of job insecurity is needed for health care professionals. Using a sample of 178 medical technologists over a 5-year period, this study's findings extend earlier work by Blau and Sharp (2000) and suggest that job loss insecurity, human capital job feature insecurity, and work condition job feature insecurity are related but distinct types of job insecurity. A seven-item measure of job loss insecurity, a four-item measure of human capital job feature insecurity, and a four-item measure of work condition job feature insecurity were analyzed. Confirmatory factor analysis using a more heterogeneous sample of 447 working adults supported this three-factor structure. Using correlation and path analysis, different significant relationships of antecedent variables and subsequent organizational withdrawal cognitions to these three types of job insecurity were found.

This work presents the development of a rhodamine-based colorimetric and turn-on fluorescent chemosensor (P1) designed for selective recognition of Ni ions. Chemosensor P1 exhibited remarkable sensitivity and selectivity for Ni ions, exhibiting clear colorimetric and fluorescence responses. The binding interactions were meticulously examined using UV-Vis.

Objective: Relationships among coworker and patient visibility, reactions to physical work environment, and work stress in ICU nurses are explored.
Background: Millions of dollars are invested annually in the building or remodeling of ICUs, yet there is a gap in understanding relationships between the physical layout of nursing units and work stress.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional, correlational, exploratory, predictive design, relationships among variables were studied in a diverse sample of ICU nurses.
Aim: Based on the Job Demands-Resources model, this study aimed to assess the predictive effect of workload on emotional exhaustion and test the buffering effect of three types of work resources (workplace cohesion, work control, and workplace support) on the relationship between workload and emotional exhaustion among older Japanese assistant care workers.
Methods: We analyzed data from a national survey on the work features and work-related outcomes of 1601 older assistant care workers working in geriatric health services facilities in Japan. Demographic characteristics, workload, work resources, and emotional exhaustion were analyzed.

Burnout among medical residents and fellows (postgraduate trainees) has been receiving significant attention in the scientific literature with far less focus on the factors that correlate with job satisfaction and well-being. A better understanding of the characteristics that increase job satisfaction (rather than just those that lead to burnout) may allow programs to develop and enhance those positive features, conceivably leading to improved mental health, retention, and recruitment. We hypothesize that job satisfaction among postgraduate trainees is positively impacted by feeling that their work is meaningful, that their work schedules are equitable, and that they are appreciated by their faculty.
