Many job redesign interventions are based on a multiple mediator-multiple outcome model in which the job redesign intervention indirectly influences a broad range of employee outcomes by changing multiple job characteristics. As this model remains untested, the aim of this study is to test a multiple mediator-multiple outcome model of job redesign. Multilevel analysis of data from a quasi-experimental job redesign intervention in a call center confirmed the hypothesized model and showed that the job redesign intervention affected a broad range of employee outcomes (i.e., employee well-being, psychological contract fulfillment, and supervisor-rated job performance) through changes in 2 job characteristics (i.e., job control and feedback). The results provide further evidence for the efficacy and mechanisms of job redesign interventions. (PsycINFO Database Record

Nursing professional development practitioners used a phased approach to apply TSAM® in ambulatory nursing orientation redesign across a regional health system in the Midwest. The team used job descriptions, practice standards, and nursing workflows with TSAM® components to develop tiered orientation objectives, resource time activities, and continuous partnership strategies that support ambulatory nursing practice. Project outcomes included creating a standardized orientation record and resource time activities across multiple clinics, strengthening stakeholder accountability, and post-implementation sustainability.

Background: As the tremendous impact of extreme workloads, arduous working conditions, and disorganization disrupt humane job definitions in some industries, the need for workplace re-articulation was interfered to ameliorate psycho-social factors and suggest organizational intervention strategies. Especially for colossally wounded health-care (HC) systems, today it is now even more unrealizable to retain workforce resilience considering the immense impact of overwhelming working conditions.

Methods: This study introduces employment of concurrent engineering tools to re-design humane workplaces annihilating abatement over devoured resources.

Objectives: Translating research into practice is often a goal for evidence-based organizational researchers to help improve workplace conditions and worker well-being. Improving worker well-being can be achieved by using empirical evidence to inform organizational interventions. However, despite the well-established intervention literature, practitioners appear not to appreciate fully how research findings can inform real-world practice.

The present diary study investigates the impact of daily effort-reward imbalance (ERI), subjective stress and the cortisol awakening response (CAR) as an objective measure on work engagement of top managers and high-level works council members ( = 45) on three consecutive working days. In the scope of psychosocial risk assessment, we argue that focusing on ERI as a generalized work characteristic might be more suitable for work re-design of higher leadership positions because of their highly dynamic and unpredictable psychosocial work characteristics, while at the same time having more access to job resources. The analyses reveal that both baseline and daily ERI, as well as subjective stress, influence work engagement.

Objectives: Preterm birth is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and the second-leading cause of death among children under five worldwide. Recent systematic reviews have demonstrated an increased risk of preterm birth in women exposed to workplace physical and psychosocial risks during pregnancy. The extent to which this evidence is reflected in policy remains unclear.
