Economic and Business Review

The success of reconciling work and family responsibilities is influenced by many factors, both at the level of individuals and their families and at the level of organisations and the state. The main objective of the paper is to present the impact of the implementation of family-friendly measures in organizations. The project covers Slovenian companies that have introduced a family-friendly company certificate. The study has shown that employers who support work-life balance measures achieve benefits in several areas, including reduced turnover and sick leave, improved retention and recruitment of staff, increased productivity, motivation, satisfaction and commitment.

Dissertations

Military operations have resulted in a significant number of mangled extremities leading to traumatic amputations.

Assessing The Psychosocial Needs Of Individuals Diagnosed With Cancer, By Age And Sex On Interest In Support Group Attendance, Mary Rodrigue

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

There are several psychosocial factors that can affect an individual diagnosed with cancer (Holland, 2003), and directly addressing these issues with patients is important for their overall care and quality of life (Holland, 1998). The practice of psycho-oncology has been designed to assess these psychosocial issues with patients and their caregivers by means of outlets such as support groups to facilitate a wellness model of care (Myers & Sweeney, 2008). Using the demographics of age and sex, I plan to analyze and identify what psychosocial needs are significant to individuals diagnosed with cancer, and compare the sex and age of …

Costs Of Treating Depression With Individual Versus Family Therapy, Sareta Dobbs Head

Theses and Dissertations

Marital discord contributes to the development and continuation of depression and to the recurrence of depressive episodes for those in troubled relationships. Early research suggests that family therapy may reduce the severity and frequency of depressive episodes through modification of family interactional patterns. This would result in a reduction in the cost of treating depression. This study summarizes the literature linking family dynamics with depression. Then,using a sample taken from a large health maintenance organization, data was statistically analyzed to measure the effectiveness of both individual and family therapy as delivered by different types of mental health professionals. Results indicated …

The Relationship Between Professional Identity And Collective Self- Esteem In School Counselors, Susan Foster

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

All bona fide professions have affiliated professional organizations, ethical standards or a code of ethics, and an accrediting and sanctioning body that deals with preparation, credentialing, and licensure, and pride in one's profession (Gale & Austin, 2003; Remley & Herlihy, 2010). As school counseling continues to evolve, school counselors have struggled to define and maintain their role. This may be due, in part, to the social desirability an individual has to belong to dominant group in the school setting (Tajfel, 1986). School counselors may draw esteem from their professional membership. This concept, called collective self-esteem, denotes those aspects of identity …
