“…The results of research conducted among 212 nurses in Germany using Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale indicated that nurses who had an academic degree displayed a statistically significantly higher level of self-esteem than nurses without an academic education. The type of professional training may therefore have a direct effect on self-esteem, thus offering a myriad of potential benefits to both nurses and patients [16]. Other studies have shown that the low self-esteem of nurses induces a service sabotage attitude, and that these nurses are less developed, both emotionally and chronologically, demonstrate less experience and have less education compared to their typical counterparts [17].…”

Introduction: The development of burnout syndrome is conditioned by demographic variables, personality-related variables, ways of coping with difficulties and organizational/professional factors. Burnout is a psychological syndrome of emotional exhaustion and fatigue that may occur in people working with other people in certain ways. Understanding the role of global self-esteem and sociodemographic and work environment-related variables in the development of burnout syndrome in Polish nurses was the aim of this study. Material and methods: The study included 1,806 nurses working in 23 hospitals in northeastern Poland. The average age was 44.7 ±7.96 years. The questionnaire was of a proprietary design. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory Scale and the Rosenberg SES scale were used. Results: With regard to contact with patients, symptoms of burnout were present in 28.2% of respondents. Furthermore, 27% of respondents showed work-related burnout and personal burnout was indicated in 21% of them. Almost half of the respondents (46.6%) evaluated their self-esteem at an average level. The obtained results of the regression analysis indicated that global self-esteem was a predictor of professional burnout in nurses. Global self-esteem has important consequences in many aspects of the mental condition. It was found that global self-esteem is a key factor influencing personal burnout symptoms, and its modification may be used as a preventive measure. Conclusions: Developing personal resources and deriving benefits from them may be important in the prevention of burnout syndrome. This study indicated the need to carry out preventive measures in the workplace to protect nurses from burnout.

“…Having a low education is associated with an increased risk of low self‐esteem , a major protective factor against poor mental health and strongly related to obesity . Likewise, living in a slum or otherwise deprived neighbourhood predicted poor self‐rated health, inflammation, obesity and the metabolic syndrome , as was living in a neighbourhood with high racial segregation .…”

A new model of the role of psychological and emotional distress in promoting obesity: conceptual review with implications for treatment and prevention

The lack of significant treatment and prevention progress highlights the need for a more expanded strategy. Given the robust association between socioeconomic factors and obesity, combined with new insights into how socioeconomic disadvantage affects both behaviour and biology, a new causal model is proposed. The model posits that psychological and emotional distress is a fundamental link between socioeconomic disadvantage and weight gain. At particular risk are children growing up in a disharmonious family environment, mainly caused by parental socioeconomic disadvantage, where they are exposed to parental frustrations, relationship discord, a lack of support and cohesion, negative belief systems, unmet emotional needs and general insecurity. Without adequate resilience, such experiences increase the risk of psychological and emotional distress, including low self-esteem and self-worth, negative emotions, negative self-belief, powerlessness, depression, anxiety, insecurity and a heightened sensitivity to stress. These inner disturbances eventually cause a psycho-emotional overload, triggering a cascade of weight gain-inducing effects including maladaptive coping strategies such as eating to suppress negative emotions, chronic stress, appetite up-regulation, low-grade inflammation and possibly reduced basal metabolism. Over time, this causes obesity, circular causality and further weight gain. Tackling these proposed root causes of weight gain could potentially improve both treatment and prevention outcomes.

“…While the effects of organizational diversity have been examined widely in the management literature (Baum, Dutton, Karimi, & Kokkranikal, 2007;Martins & Parsons, 2007), there is an ambivalence in the literature about the impacts of diversity on work performance (Furunes & Mykletun, 2007;Pinar, McCuddy, Birkan, & Kozak, 2011;Testa, 2009;Zopiatis, Constanti, & Theocharous, 2014). Most research findings tend to indicate that diversity has the potential for positive effects (like increased creativity, innovation, and flexibility) as well as for negative effects (like worse communication, increased conflicts and stereotypes), and that the actual effects strongly depend upon context factors (see Pinar, et al, 2011;Rushton, 2007;Spataro, 2005;Tracey & Hinkin, 2008) or personal factors (see Chen & Choi, 2008;Derks, van Laar, & Ellemers, 2009;Furunes & Mykletun, 2007;Hogg & Terry, 2001;Lozano & Etxebarria, 2007;Sotelo, 2000;Van Eckert, Gaidys, & Martin, 2012).…”

While the impact of organizational diversity on employees' work outcomes has received significant research attention, there is a dearth of literature in hospitality settings, particularly in Eastern cultures. Integrating the Social Identity Theory and diversity literature, this study, using data collected from 22 hotels in Taiwan, examined the relationship of perceived organizational diversity with Job Performance (JP), Organizational Citizenship Behaviours (OCB) and Turnover Intention. The results indicated that the level of diversity perceived by hotel employees, significantly influenced employees' JP and OCB. Ethnicity status also moderated the relationship between the perception of diversity levels and employee turnover intention. Specifically, a negative relationship between perceived diversity and turnover intention was observed among indigenous employees while a positive relationship was observed among non-indigenous employees.
