What if delivery riders quit? Challenges to last-mile logistics during the Covid-19 pandemic
2023, Research in Transportation Business and ManagementCitation Excerpt :This was as expected: dissatisfaction with one's salary is known to deter workers (Fakunmoju et al., 2010; Koeske & Kirk, 1995; Weaver et al., 2007). Unlike previous studies (see Todd & Deery-Schmitt, 1996), we found that a university education was irrelevant. Partly, this owed to the weak job market during the lockdown.
Family child care home providers as role models for children: Cause for concern?
2017, Preventive Medicine ReportsCitation Excerpt :The daily routines of child care providers are stressful, physically demanding, and include exposure to infectious diseases such as influenza, hepatitis and diarrheal illnesses (Gratz and Claffey, 1996). Among the few studies that describe the health of child care providers, results suggest they have a high prevalence of many health problems and exhibit unhealthy behaviors, including being overweight or obese (Baldwin et al., 2007; Gratz and Claffey, 1996; Sharma et al., 2013), feeling emotionally strained (depressed, overwhelmed) (Baldwin et al., 2007; Gratz and Claffey, 1996; Todd and DeerySchmitt, 1996; Whitaker et al., 2013), and failing to exercise regularly (Gratz and Claffey, 1996). These findings suggest that it is important to obtain a fuller understanding of the risk profile of child care providers.
Workplace stress and job satisfaction among child protective service workers in South Korea: Focusing on the buffering effects of protective factors
2015, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :This stress was followed by job changes for approximately 25% of South Korea's CPS workers in 2006 (Korea Institute of Policy Evaluations, 2008), thereby highlighting service instability and declining professionalism as serious sectoral concerns (Kong, 2005). Job satisfaction is recognized as a strong predictor of turnover or intention to leave, regarding CPS employment (Barak, Nissly, & Levin, 2001), which thereby influences the quality, stability, and consistency of services for vulnerable children (Powell & York, 1992; Todd & Deery-Schmit, 1996). With the emergence of stability and the effectiveness of the CPS field as important issues in South Korea, there has been an increasing interest in job satisfaction among the nation's CPS workers.
Perceived stress among center-based and home-based early child caregivers
2014, Psychologie du Travail et des OrganisationsPredictors of quality and child outcomes in family child care settings
2013, Early Childhood Research QuarterlyCitation Excerpt :Additionally, the findings of this study related to provider attitudes, beliefs, quality practices, and child outcomes suggest that further research is needed to identify effective delivery methods and content of professional development that addresses both quality practices and providers’ professional attitudes and beliefs. Future studies can build upon findings from existing studies on the effectiveness of changing providers’ attitudes and beliefs through reflective supervision (Virmani & Ontari, 2010), professional development (Arnold et al., 2002; Cassidy et al., 1995; Espinosa et al., 1999; Heisner & Lederberg, 2011; Todd & Deery-Schmitt, 1996), partnerships with Early Head Start programs (Buell, Pfister, & Gamel-McCormick, 2002), and family child care networks (Bromer et al., 2009). Future research on the associations tested in this study is encouraged.
