BackgroundHealthy university students have been shown to use psychoactive substances, expecting them to be functional means for enhancing their cognitive capacity, sometimes over and above an essentially proficient level. This behavior called Neuroenhancement (NE) has not yet been integrated into a behavioral theory that is able to predict performance. Job Demands Resources (JD-R) Theory for example assumes that strain (e.g. burnout) will occur and influence performance when job demands are high and job resources are limited at the same time. The aim of this study is to investigate whether or not university students’ self-reported NE can be integrated into JD-R Theory’s comprehensive approach to psychological health and performance.Methods1,007 students (23.56 ± 3.83 years old, 637 female) participated in an online survey. Lifestyle drug, prescription drug, and illicit substance NE together with the complete set of JD-R variables (demands, burnout, resources, motivation, and performance) were measured. Path models were used in order to test our data’s fit to hypothesized main effects and interactions.ResultsJD-R Theory could successfully be applied to describe the situation of university students. NE was mainly associated with the JD-R Theory’s health impairment process: Lifestyle drug NE (p < .05) as well as prescription drug NE (p < .001) is associated with higher burnout scores, and lifestyle drug NE aggravates the study demands-burnout interaction. In addition, prescription drug NE mitigates the protective influence of resources on burnout and on motivation.ConclusionAccording to our results, the uninformed trying of NE (i.e., without medical supervision) might result in strain. Increased strain is related to decreased performance. From a public health perspective, intervention strategies should address these costs of non-supervised NE. With regard to future research we propose to model NE as a means to reach an end (i.e. performance enhancement) rather than a target behavior itself. This is necessary to provide a deeper understanding of the behavioral roots and consequences of the phenomenon.

“… 2. Wilkesmann et al’s (2011) survey of workers in plants without a works council suggests that management is sometimes opposed to council introductions, though this opposition appears not to be the main cause for the absence of a council since only 7% of the respondents report that management interfered with an introduction. Furthermore, a survey by Schlömer-Laufen and Kay (2012), again conducted among workers in plants without a council, shows that opposition of the management is no major reason for not introducing a works council. …”

Works council introductions in Germany: Do they reflect workers’ voice?

While most previous studies focus on the monopoly aspect of works council introductions, this article explores the collective voice face of introductions and investigates workers' decision as an exit-voice consideration. Using a large linked employer-employee dataset from Germany, the present study finds that council introductions are more likely if workers have high plant-specific human capital or earn high wages. These results are consistent with exit-voice considerations as well as with attempts to protect an existing distribution of rents. Redoing the analysis for plants in which the protection of rents against management decisions is less relevant yields similar results supporting a voice interpretation.

“…Mitbestimmung is still regarded as an essential element of democracy by the German working population. A representative survey of 2009 covering more than 3000 employees comes to the conclusion that Mitbestimmung is seen by the respondents ‘as an integral part of the accepted canon of basic values ( Grundwertekanon )’, even by those who rank Mitbestimmung as subordinate for their own profession (Wilkesmann et al, 2001: 229; my translation). The above-mentioned offensive for co-determination as well as the scenarios for 2035 indicate the trade unions’ strong commitment to defend and to improve the various forms of industrial democracy.…”

The article covers the history and development of German co-determination (works councils and board-level representation). The first section addresses the terminology of industrial democracy by comparing the different meanings in English and German industrial relations vocabulary. This is followed by a section on the history of the institutions of worker committees, works councils and board-level representation in German industries, beginning from the first voluntary introduction of worker committees by social-minded employers through the periods of the Kaiserreich and the Weimar Republic and on into post-war Germany. A third section addresses the present role and functions of works councils, including their learning process by interaction with management and their symbiotic relationship with the trade unions, followed by a section on the differences and similarities between works councils and human resource management. The last section analyses the changes and current trends in the field of shop-floor participation, works councils and board-level representation. Ré suméCet article retrace l'histoire et l'évolution de la cogestion en Allemagne (comités d'entreprise et représentation aux conseils d'administration ou de surveillance). La première section traite de la terminologie de la démocratie industrielle en comparant les sens différents du vocabulaire des relations professionnelles en anglais et en allemand. Il est suivi par une section consacrée à l'histoire des institutions des comités des travailleurs, des comités d'entreprise et de la représentation aux conseils d'administration ou de surveillance dans les entreprises allemandes, en commençant par la première introduction volontaire de comités des travailleurs par des employeurs ayant l'esprit social, à l'époque de l'Allemagne impériale et de la république de Weimar et dans l'Allemagne de l'après-guerre. Une troisième section examine le rô le et les fonctions des comités d'entreprise à l'heure actuelle, en ce compris leurs processus d'apprentissage suite à l'interaction avec le management et la relation symbiotique avec les syndicats; suit alors une section sur les différences et les similarités entre les comités d'entreprises et la gestion des ressources humaines.
