Do Workers Speak Up When Feeling Job Insecure? Examining Workers' Response to Precarity During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Work Occup. 2023 Feb;50(1):97-129. doi: 10.1177/07308884221128481.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic inflicted unprecedented precarity upon workers, including concerns about job insecurity. We examine whether workers respond to job insecurity with voice, and assess the role of unions, managers, and employment arrangements in this relationship. Analyses of an original 2020 survey representative of Illinois and Michigan workers show that job insecurity is not significantly associated with voice. Further, while we find that union membership and confidence in organized labor are positively associated with voice, insecure workers ar...

Precarious Employment and Well-Being: Insights from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Work Occup. 2023 Feb;50(1):3-21. doi: 10.1177/07308884221143063.ABSTRACTWhile precarious employment is not a new concept, it has been brought to the center of scholarly and public discourse worldwide by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. This essay delineates how precarious employment shapes well-being and situates that relationship in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The essay also provides an overview of how the nine articles boldly investigate how these two layers of global risk-precarious employment and the pandemic-interact to shape individuals' well-being. In addition to advancing theoretical and empirical kno...

Office procedures for older adults by physician associates and nurse practitioners
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, PAs performed more skin and musculoskeletal procedures than NPs, and NPs performed more procedures in the other 7 procedure clusters than PAs. PA and NP employment growth does not fully explain these observations. We suggest that outpatient procedural task-shifting activity presents an area for further research.PMID:38603536 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2024.89532 (Source: The American Journal of Managed Care)

The Measurement of Precarious Work and Market Conditions: Insights from the COVID-19 Disruption on Sample Selection
Work Occup. 2023 Feb;50(1):22-59. doi: 10.1177/07308884221127636.ABSTRACTThe precarious work construct combines employment instability and employment-contingent outcomes. Yet, I argue that confining the scope of the investigation to employed individuals creates a sample selection that disguises the heterogeneous nature of employment instability. The COVID-19 skyrocketing unemployment rate provides both a compelling motivation and a unique opportunity to revisit the construct of precarious work. Using pre-COVID and COVID-19 era data of the working-age population in Israel, the results demonstrate that by pushing less stable...

Providing peer support on a men ’s mental health ward: a service user narrative
This article provides a rich, perhaps overlooked and hidden narrative on the nature of peer support work. People with mental health problems, like Ben, are often excluded from society, health and social care, education, employment and research. This narrative opens up a pathway to understanding peer support from a service user perspective. (Source: Mental Health and Social Inclusion)

A university cut tenured faculty ’s pay. They’re suing
Along with a secure post and academic freedom, tenured professors enjoy financial security—or so many outsiders imagine. In fact, many tenured faculty are expected to cover much of their salary with grants, and may be penalized with salary reductions if they do not. That’s what happened at Tufts University School of Medicine—and some researchers are fighting back.
Last month, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court sent a case brought by eight of the school’s faculty members to trial,
writing that their claims have merit
: “Tenure would seem to be a hollow promise if it came without any salary co...

Single-center experience with Knee+ ™ augmented reality navigation system in primary total knee arthroplasty
CONCLUSION: The results indicate satisfactory postoperative coronal alignment without outliers across all three different implants utilized. Augmented reality navigation systems can bolster orthopaedic surgeons' accuracy in achieving precise axial alignment. However, further research is required to further evaluate their efficacy and potential.PMID:38596188 | PMC:PMC10999969 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i3.247 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Delays in Care by Race, Ethnicity, and Gender Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic Using Cross-Sectional Data From National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program
CONCLUSIONS: In this study of diverse U.S. participants, women and Black and other race-ethnicity men were more likely than white men to report delays in care, both before and during COVID-19. Addressing care delays may be necessary to ameliorate health disparities by race-ethnicity and gender.PMID:38599938 | DOI:10.1016/j.whi.2024.02.003 (Source: Cancer Control)
