The Relationship between Job Satisfaction and Good Governance in the Work Culture of Drivers within Transport Business | Chapter 10 | New Advances in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 7

Background: Work Culture is seen as the behaviours, attitudes, commitments and staff performance are key in advancing towards organisational objectives. Job satisfaction, on the other hand, states that both extrinsic and intrinsic factors, such as the salary increment and employees’ welfare, are paramount to the hearts of staff. Moreover, good governance is consensus-oriented, participatory, transparent, accountable, efficient and effective, responsive, inclusive and equitable, which follows the rule of law.

Aims: This is theoretically basic research with conceptual studies theories, aimed at establishing the importance of work culture within organisations. This study also investigates the correlations among three variables as a model, namely Job Satisfaction, Good Governance and Work Culture.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Ghana, involving drivers from the public sector transport companies, using a designed survey questionnaire.

Methodology: This was a quantitative research study. A random sample of 40 public bus drivers was interviewed, with their responses used to generate data for analysis in SmartPLS. The results indicated that all three variable constructs are valid and reliable.

Results: Work Culture has a direct correlation with job satisfaction and good governance. The Cronbach Alpha for Job Satisfaction, Good Governance, and Work Culture was 0.7, 0.8, and 0.7 consecutively (Cronbach alpha value of 0.6 and above denotes there is high reliability).

Conclusion: The path model indicates that the practicality of the variables is theoretically correlated and associative. This conceptual research showed that in the transport industry, especially the public sector, more attention must be paid to these three variables to achieve objectives, namely good governance, job satisfaction and work culture, to improve the human resource management practices in the public transportation industry. Future research with a large population and sample size is recommended for analysis.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy and Neural Reconfiguration | Chapter 5 | Achievements and Challenges of Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 5

 

Mindfulness was initially translated from the Indian term "Sati," which denotes awareness, attention, and memory. Mindfulness-Based Programs (MBP), particularly Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), highlight their efficacy in managing stress and preventing relapse in mental health disorders. These programs are recognized as third-generation therapies within Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, emphasizing acceptance of internal experiences. This chapter examined neuroimaging studies that reveal mindfulness-induced neural changes in brain regions associated with cognitive control and emotional regulation, such as the prefrontal cortex and amygdala. Despite accessibility and holistic health improvements, the effectiveness of MBP can vary based on individual differences and practitioner expertise. Future research is needed to explore personalized mindfulness interventions and the integration of MBP with other therapeutic modalities to optimize outcomes and broaden accessibility.

Dissociation and Suicidality in Eating Disorders: Mediating and Moderating Factors| Chapter 6 | Current Innovations in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 10

 Elevated detachment may increase the risk of suicide in sufferers suffering from consuming disorders (EDs). The aims of the present study were: 1) To examine the friendship between dissociative symptoms and suicidality in female youngsters with EDs, and 2) To evaluate potential factors that would intervene in these connections including material-related disturbances, depression, tension, severity of ED symptoms, frame mass index (BMI), and type and event of the ED. The study included 172 inpatients: 65 with eating disorder restricting type, 60 with eating disorder binge/purge type, and 37 accompanying bulimia nervosa. Self-rating questionnaires were used to judge participants' levels of dissociation, suicidality, physique-related traits, severity of ED symptoms, concavity, and anxiety. Dissociation and suicidality were raise to be closely accompanying. Additionally, the mediating effect of body concept factors in the friendship between higher detachment and increased suicidality was modulated by despair and tension.  Thus, only in inpatients with extreme depression and anxiety, that is, above the median range, bulk image disturbances were found to intervene the association between separation and suicidality. These relationships were not restrained by ED-related parameters. Our verdicts show that in ED inpatients, increased dissociation is guide increased suicidality, two together directly and through the influence of body representation, depression, and anxiety. In order to confirm and extend the decisions of our model in a prospective longitudinal amount of ambulatory subjects with EDs over the course of their illness, future studies endure make an effort to incorporate dossier on actual destructive behaviours and trauma history.
