Leadership Affects Health And Well Being At Work

noreply@blogger.com (cureg0280) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:10:00 +0000

�Research grounds suggests that good leadership has convinced effects on employee health and upbeat, including decreased sick leave and handicap, reports the August Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, official publication of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM).

Led by Dr. Kuoppala Jaana of Siinto, Kiiskilampi, Finland, the researchers searched for studies of the effects of leadership on key measures of employee health and well-being. Qualities associated with good leadership included treating employees considerately and truthfully, providing social support, and providing inspirational motivation and intellectual stimulation.

Based on the 27 best-quality studies, the review provided "moderately strong" evidence linking good leading to increased employee eudaemonia. Workers with good leadership were 40 percent more than likely to be in the highest category of job eudaemonia (ie, with low rates of symptoms like anxiety, depression, and job stress).

There was likewise moderate evidence linking good leadership with reduced sickish days and disability. Good leadership was associated with a 27 percent step-down in sick leave and a 46 percent decrease in disablement pensions.

Some studies found that good leadership was associated with increased job satisfaction, although this evidence was relatively weak. There was no evidence exhibit a important effect of leadership on measures of job performance.

Several characteristics of work can affect employee health. Studies have shown that factors like job control and support influence measurable health outcomes, such as crazy leave. Leadership is thought to be one of the most important factors mediating the relationship betwixt work and health.

The findings support the "job well-being pyramid model": a theory suggesting that a strong foundation of leadership, healthy work surround, and good working conditions reduces worker health problems. The pyramid model crataegus oxycantha provide a useful model for monitoring occupational health within organizations, Dr. Jaana and colleagues believe. Companies could use routine follow-up data on employee wellbeing at act upon as part of efforts to develop and assess steps to improve working conditions and work ability.

The researchers note the "relation lack" of high-quality studies targeting the association 'tween leadership and employee health. However, the few skilful studies ground an authoritative link betwixt the role of leadership and employee job gratification, job wellbeing, sickness absences and impairment pensions

The relationship betwixt leadership and job operation remains indecipherable. Dr. Jaana and colleagues conclude, "If the affiliation between leadership and health and eudaemonia described in this review represents a true relationship, it would be highly important that leadership function was considered, measured and evaluated, and good leadership practices were promoted in all form environments."

Album Review: Ladytron, "Velocifero" (Nettwerk)

noreply@blogger.com (cureg0280) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 06:30:00 +0000

Indie electronic-pop sensation Ladytron [ tickets ] beckons listeners to the dance floor with its fourth album, and Nettwerk label debut, �Velocifero,� an addictive collection of synth-pop hooks and raging party energy.Massive vintage keyboard sounds and stylish, unapologetic vocals make up the bulk of �Velocifero.� While none of the tracks are especially experimental or shocking, they are consistently fast-paced, catchy and danceable. �Black Cat� starts off the album with a powerful, urgent bass rhythm that escalates, while vocalist Mira Aroyo maintains a steady, demanding lyrical chant in her native Bulgarian tongue. The track is a climactic, anxiety-inducing opener that acts as a warm-up for what follows.�Velocifero� literally means �bringer of speed.� The title seems appropriate, since the thrill of momentum and climaxing layers of sound seem to be the inspiration for these 13 songs. Assisting with �Velocifero� production were Vicarious Bliss (Justice, DJ Mehdi) and Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails), who helped to bring more focus, cohesiveness and new dimensions (incorporating moodier, heavier elements) to the quartet�s previous electronic pop-oriented sound. The brightest and most instantly-satisfying tracks are �Ghosts,� �They Gave You a Heart, They Gave You a Name� and �I�m Not Scared�-- all of which could become DJ-set staples. More introspective, dreamy tones are set with the hypnotic �Deep Blue� and wandering soundscapes of �Season of Illusions.�The downfall of any dance music is that club beats can quickly become repetitive. For Ladytron, monotony creeps in about midway through the record, but the music�s saving graces are the enormous new wave �80s bliss and Aroyo�s sexy words of bitterness or indifference. On �Burning Up,� she starkly repeats: �I wrote a protest song about you, about you/Set off on a long march without you, without you.� It�s these moments that make joining her protest feel worthwhile, and, ultimately, there are enough infectious, impassioned points--lyrically and musically--to make �Velocifero� a must-have collection of dance songs.

Rhydian hoping to put X Factor behind him

noreply@blogger.com (cureg0280) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 08:38:00 +0000

'X Factor' runner-up Rhydian Roberts has said that he wants to put the talent show behind him.
The Welsh singer said he cried with disappointment after coming second, and added that he believes there was a "technical fault" on the voting lines.
Speaking to Real Radio Wales' breakfast show from a cottage in Oxfordshire, Rhydian said he was trying to distance himself from the press and wished winner Leon Jackson "the best of luck".
Referring to complaints from fans who say phone lines were jammed, Rhydian said: "How I see it is, it's obviously a technical fault on the night, and it might have affected all three competitors. I can't really complain."
Despite his disappointment, the 24-year-old from Sennybridge, mid Wales, said he believed his career could actually benefit from him not winning the ITV contest.
Commenting on Leon's victory, he said: "He's a talented boy and has his niche with swing music. I wish him the best of luck."
He denied reports that both he and his father believed the show was a fix, and said: "I can categorically say that I have not said any of that. I've stayed well clear - it's not what I believe. The only disappointing thing for us as a family was that they got my dad's age wrong. They said he was 60, so he's livid. He's only 58."
Rhydian said he didn't go to the after-show party because he was "absolutely drained". Instead, he went to see a performance by an orchestra with his family.
Rhydian, who said the interview was his first since Saturday's live final, said: "It's Leon's week and he should be celebrating and I don't want people coming up to me saying 'you were robbed', although it's nice. I didn't want to pull focus."
Rhydian, who is going on a two-week holiday to Mexico with his family on 27 December, added: "All I can say is I want to put that all behind me now - 'The X Factor'. My life is going to go on and I fully intend to record an album so watch this space and thanks so much to everybody."
More than 1,000 people have complained to UK regulator Ofcom, claiming they couldn't get through to vote for Rhydian during the final, but ITV have said Leon won fair and square.
