Purpose: The goal of this research was to learn how psychological contracts influence workers' innovative work behavior in Pakistan's information technology industry. Design/methodology/approach: Employees from several software companies in Rawalpindi, Islamabad, participated in the study. Standardized scales were used to obtain data from 234 workers via questionnaires. Findings: The study's findings showed a favorable correlation between innovative work behavior and the presence of psychological contracts (both transactional and relational). Originality/value: There remained uncertainty and little study was done on the mediation function of work engagement in the relationship between Psychological Contract and Innovative Work Behavior despite decades of research on the subject. Thus, work engagement was employed as a mediator in this research, and the findings demonstrated that work engagement mediates the relationship between innovative work behavior and the psychological contract in a positive and meaningful way.
The health care system should offer and provide a variety of services without undue delay. Due to numerous technical, financial and human resource constraints, not all services can be offered both without restrictions and in equal measure in places of different sizes of residence. As a result of qualitative and quantitative research, a map of accessibility to social and health services was drawn up, taking into consideration the division of the country into voivodeships with different population. Spatial analysis showed great diversity in terms of service availability. Voivodships with the highest accessibility of health and social services are Dolnośląskie, Opolskie and Świętokrzyskie, while the worst situation is in Wielkopolskie. Moreover, the article identifies the main problems that people with limited functionality encounter when using health and social services.
The aim of the following research it to provide assumptions for creating workflow efficiency model that can be implemented in repeatable production workstations. One of the main components of this model are human activities and their interactions with other elements of working environment: human and artefacts. Recognition of patterns of human behaviours within working processes gives the opportunity to find critical points that influence workflow efficiency. The subject of research is a working process existing in meat producing plant. The main method used for recognizing human activity patterns was observation and qualitative and quantitative assessments of operational activities based on video registration. Particularly, human activities were analyzed under ergonomics criteria in order to proof dependencies between process efficiency and specific ergonomic factors forming working conditions at meat plant.
The article presents the relationships between ergonomics and the effectiveness of work processes. A new thematic framework has been developed to evaluate the engineering design of work processes in conjunction with the effectiveness and ergonomics of workplaces. The model presented in the paper takes into account ergonomic factors that have a direct impact on shaping working environment in which a person is located and improving their efficiency. The model was validated in real conditions in the production company. The subject of the research was the work process existing in the plant producing food paper packaging. The main method used to assess working conditions was observation and qualitative and quantitative assessment of operational activities based on video recording. Detailed human actions were analyzed in terms of ergonomic factors to prove the relationship between ergonomics and efficiency. In addition, new technical solutions have been proposed that improve working conditions and the efficiency of the entire work process.
The aim of the article was to analyse distribution logistics on the example of a selected meat processing plant, as well as to assess existing distribution channels according to the criteria determining the usability, efficiency and nature of the channel. Based on the research and analysis (analytical and point method), the distribution channels operating in this company were characterised and evaluated. Based on the results, one can determine which of the existing channels is the best and present the directions for their further development.
Currently entrepreneurs have the opportunity to use many methods and tools that support production management, quality and improvement of working safety. A method worth paying attention to is the 5S method, which brings order and discipline to the workplace. The article presents practical aspects of the implementation of the 5S method using five simple steps that give the real benefits to a company. Particularly the specific solutions that can be applied at every stage of the implementation of the 5S method is indicated. Also innovative ways of conducting internal audits are presented. In addition, a model for the implementation of the 5S concept was proposed, which supports maintaining the healthy standards at a high level. It has been pointed out that the implementation of 5S rules must be constantly monitored and improved. Therefore, supervision and motivational activities are particularly important, especially from the side of leaders and managers represented an organization.
The purpose of this article is to analyze distribution logistics on the example of a selected meat processing establishment, as well as to assess existing distribution channels according to criteria determining the usability, efficiency and nature of the channel. Based on the research and analysis (analytical and point method), five distribution channels existing in the company were characterized and evaluated. Based on the results, it was determined which of the existing channels is the best one, and also the directions for their further development were presented.
