This summary of the range of instruments currently available for evaluation of multiple work stressors at individual, group and/or organizational levels may provide a useful tool for operators and researchers.
Dear Editor, SARS-Cov-2 infection has been associated with many dermatologic manifestations, both in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. 1-3 A 54-year-old Caucasian woman was referred to us because of the rapid-onset of multiple patches of alopecia on her scalp. The patient had been diagnosed with SARS-Cov-2 infection 2 months earlier, thanks to nasal and throat swabs and chest computer tomography. She had been treated for 7 days with hydroxychloroquine therapy, 200 mg twice a day, started 7 days after the onset of mild respiratory symptoms. At the time of our visit the patient was in good health condition and was apyretic. She had recovered from SARS-COv-2 infection 2 weeks before, according to two consecutive negative tests obtained by nasal and throat swabs. Physical examination revealed three asymptomatic patches of alopecia on the right temporo-parietal area of her scalp (Figure 1). The surface of the patches was smooth, without signs of inflammation, and pull test resulted positive from the edges of the patches. Dermatoscopy showed the presence of black dots, yellow dots and vellus hair, allowing the diagnosis of alopecia areata (AA) (Figure 2).
Data were collected from 269 mass-retail workers, by means of structured face-to-face interviews. METHODS: Results of multiple mediation analyses partially supported our hypotheses. RESULTS: Boredom mediates the relationship between transformational leadership, low learning opportunities and general dysphoria, while work engagement mediates the relationship between transformational leadership, low learning opportunities and job satisfaction as well as general dysphoria. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, our results confirm the suitability of conceptualizing boredom within the JD-R model and contribute to the ongoing conceptualization of both the boredom literature and the JD-R literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
