This study aimed to examine a theoretical model to predict publics' communicative actions to take and transmit information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as their behavioral intentions to follow the CDC's instructions in the context of infectious disease outbreaks. Using the framework of the situational theory of problem-solving (STOPS), this study tested the roles of fear and positive organization-public relationship (OPR), linking STOPS and behavioral intentions to follow CDC instructions. The results of this study suggest that fear and positive OPR variables play vital roles in predicting individuals' information acquisition, information transmission, and willingness to follow the CDC's instructions to cope with infectious diseases.

Objectives: This paper explores definitions, incidences, and outcomes of workplace abuse - a widespread, worldwide social phenomenon impinging on the well-being of workers in a developing labor market - and possible directions for delineating and standardizing classifications of the phenomenon that facilitate workers' protection. Furthermore, we employ Tepper's Abusive Supervision Survey Questionnaire [ASSQ] to identify managerial abuse in organizations regarding the type of organization (public/private), gender of the perpetrator, gender of the target, and the managerial role, of each of the abuse items. Finally, we suggest directions for further research and practical measures designed to facilitate the diminution of behavioral abuse in the workplace in the foreseeable future.

Co-production is an approach to designing, delivering, and evaluating public services through strict collaboration among professionals and the people using services with an equal and reciprocal relationship. Health promotion initiatives that include education services rarely use the co-production approach. Nevertheless, the value of co-production is widely recognized, although it is considered a normative good, and scarce and mixed evidence is available in literature.
