Abstract-This study explores the relationship between social support, negative affectivity, and work-personal life balance among academic staff. The sample of this study comprised 70 academics at one faculty in one public higher educational institution in Perak, Malaysia. Quantitative research design using survey questionnaires was utilized for this study. Findings indicated that work-personal life balance is significantly related with social support and negative affectivity. In addition, social support from co-workers is the most significant predictor for work-personal life balance.

This study examines predictors of sickness absence in patients presenting to a health practitioner with acute/ subacute low back pain (LBP). Aims of this study were to identify baselinevariables that detect patients with a new LBP episode at risk of sickness absence and to identify prognostic models for sickness absence at different time points after initial presentation. Prospective cohort study investigating 310 patients presenting to a health practitioner with a new episode of LBP at baseline, three-, six-, twelve-week and six-month follow-up, addressing work-related, psychological and biomedical factors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify baseline-predictors of sickness absence at different time points. Prognostic models comprised 'job control', 'depression' and 'functional limitation' as predictive baseline-factors of sickness absence at three and six-week follow-up with 'job control' being the best single predictor (OR 0.47; 95%CI 0.26-0.87). The six-week model explained 47% of variance of sickness absence at six-week follow-up (p<0.001). The prediction of sickness absence beyond six-weeks is limited, and health practitioners should re-assess patients at six weeks, especially if they have previously been identified as at risk of sickness absence. This would allow timely intervention with measures designed to reduce the likelihood of prolonged sickness absence.

“…Few studies in return-to-work research have discussed the notion of workgroup social interaction, although some have indicated that workplace economic and social conditions, attitudes and beliefs may be of significance regarding the outcome of a return-to-work process [14][15][16][17]. To further investigate the experiences and roles of co-workers, there is a need to move beyond present return-to-work models to consider the return-to-work process in its complexity including the nuances of social interaction [3,6,13,18].…”

Purpose The objective was to explore the role and contribution of co-workers in the return-to-work process. The social interaction of co-workers in the return to work process are analysed within the framework of the Swedish national and local employer organisational return-to-work policies.Methods An exploratory qualitative method was used, consisting of open-ended interviews with 33 workplace actors across seven work units. Organisational return-towork policies were collected from the three public sector employers. ResultsThe key findings that emerged during analysis showed that some co-workers have a more work-task oriented approach towards the return-to-work process, whilst others had a more social relational approach. In both situations the social relations worked hand in hand with job tasks (how task were allocated, and how returning workers were supported by others) and could make or break the return-to-work process.Conclusion A suggestion for improvement of return-to-work models and policies is the need to take into account the social relations amongst workplace actors, especially involving co-workers when planning for return-to-work interventions. Otherwise the proper attention to work arrangements, social communication and the role if co-workers in the return-to-work process might not be seen.
