Cultural Requirements

PurposeIn today's global business environment, international assignments have become integral part of employee's job profile. Adaptation to a different cultural environment plays a role in affecting employee's performance. In such a situation, cultural intelligence plays an important role. In order to sustain in a diverse work setting, a global organization entails managers who are sensitive to different cultural requirements. Factors affecting cultural intelligence have been a major area of study. However, studies relating short-term foreign trips and their role on four aspect of cultural intelligence are lacking. Therefore, present study was undertaken to know role of foreign visits in affecting cultural intelligence among professionals of diverse background.Design/methodology/approachThe present study is a primary study conducted for a sample of 120 respondents divided into two groups. One group comprised professionals having experience of foreign visits while other group comprised professionals who had not visited a foreign country. We use Levene’s Test for equality of variances was applied to assess the difference of variation of cultural intelligence between two different groups of respondents.FindingsThe results revealed that short-term trips play a significant role in affecting metacognitive, cognitive and motivational components of cultural intelligence. However, behavior cultural intelligence is not affected by short-term trips significantly.Research limitations/implicationsOutcome of present research forms basis for future studies that can be conducted linking long-term trips and culture intelligence. This study is practically useful for improving cultural intelligence of professionals to enhance their success and effectiveness in international assignments.Originality/valueThe study adds novelty to the field of cultural intelligence as prior studies were lacking in relating role of short-term trips on four different components of cultural intelligence.

AbstractWe evaluated the role of prostate health index (PHI) in predicting Gleason score (GS) upgrading in International Society of Urological Pathology Grade Group (ISUP GG) 1 & 2 prostate cancer (PCa) or adverse pathologic outcomes at radical prostatectomy (RP). A total of 300 patients with prostate specific antigen ≥ 3 ng/mL, PHI and prostate biopsy (71 patients with RP included) were retrospectively included in the study. The primary study outcomes are PCa and clinically significant PCa (csPCa, defined as ISUP GG ≥ 2) diagnostic rate of PHI, and GS upgrading rate at RP specimen. The secondary outcomes are the comparison between GS upgrading and non-upgrading group, GS upgrading and high-risk PCa (ISUP GG ≥ 3 or ≥ pT3a) predictability of preoperative clinical factors. Overall, 139 (46.3%) and 92 (30.7%) were diagnosed with PCa and csPCa, respectively. GS upgrading rate was 34.3% in all patients with RP. Significant differences were shown in the total prostate volume (p = 0.047), the distribution of ISUP GG at biopsy (p = 0.001) and RP (p = 0.032), respectively. PHI values ≥ 55 [Odds ratio (OR): 3.64 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.05–12.68, p = 0.042] and presence of PI-RADS lesion ≥ 4 (OR: 7.03, 95% CI = 1.68–29.51, p = 0.018) were the significant predictors of GS upgrading in RP specimens (AUC = 0.737). PHI values ≥ 55 (OR: 9.05, 5% CI = 1.04–78.52, p = 0.046) is a significant factor for predicting adverse pathologic features in RP specimens (AUC = 0.781). PHI could predict GS upgrading in combination with PIRADS lesions ≥ 4 in ISUP GG 1 & 2. PHI alone could evaluate the possibility of high-risk PCa after surgery as well.

Research Goal

In companies, it is necessary to set boundaries and norms of conduct, to supervise their implementation, and to implement them consistently through the efforts of a manager who has an impact on the activities of his employees. The research goal is to identify employee views on the implementation of ethical principles in the company, as well as to define the role of a manager in this process. A hypothesis has been formulated: in the surveyed enterprises, managers apply ethical principles resulting from ethical codes binding in the company, known to everyone. The conclusions of the primary study on a group of employees forced the hypothesis to be rejected. They also showed that ethical principles are created based on a manager’s instructions or based on management/owner guidelines, and the ethical aspect is an important element of a good manager’s work. The application of appropriate rules may affect the functioning of the enterprise.

AbstractSeveral studies have demonstrated the nephroprotective effects of estrogen on renal damage. In light of the inconsistent results of previous findings, this study aims to evaluate the in-depth role of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) on the development of end stage renal disease (ESRD). 3,109,506 Korean adult women who had undergone a medical examination in 2009 (index year) were initially identified for inclusion in this study. We excluded subjects had not experienced menopause naturally, had data missing for at least one variable, and were diagnosed with ESRD within 1 year from the index year. MHT data was obtained from self-reporting questionnaires and the primary outcome was the development of ESRD from the index year until December 31, 2018. A final total of 1,460,311 subjects were included in this study. The participants were divided into four groups according to the duration of MHT; no history of MHT, MHT < 2 years, 2 ≤ MHT < 5 years, MHT ≥ 5 years. During the 9-year study period, a total of 4905 participants developed ESRD. The participants who had a history of MHT use were found to have a 30% reduced risk of developing ESRD. Results from the subgroup analyses were similar to that of the primary study. The findings in this study demonstrate the beneficial effects of MHT on the development of ESRD in postmenopausal women. Based on results, our study may offer suggestions for further studies to investigate the therapeutic options on kidney disease.

Work Family

Purpose Researchers have used different approaches to understand how individuals combine work with family, one being boundary and transition management. However, very few studies have focussed on empirically examining the role of individual boundary management style on work-family experience. The purpose of this paper is to fill this gap by examining the role of integration-segmentation on work-family conflict (WFC) and work-family enrichment (WFE). Two secondary purposes are to explore gender differences in work-family experiences and to examine the relationship between WFC and WFE. Design/methodology/approach The predictor variable in the primary study is integration (with two levels segmented and integrated). Different measures of WFC and WFE are criterion variables. Survey method was used to collect data from 156 life insurance professionals including 64 women employees in India. The average age of the sample is 35 years (SD=6.56). Boundary strategy of integration or segmentation between work and family is determined by measuring similarity in resource priority between work and family. Median split technique is used to delineate the groups. Findings The study has three key findings: employees with integrated boundary strategy report greater levels of both WFC and WFE; no gender differences exist in the experience of WFC and WFE; and WFC and WFE were found to be unrelated to each other. Originality/value The paper empirically studies the role of boundaries on WFC and WFE of insurance employees. It is a response to researchers’ call to integrate boundary theory with spillover theory and examine the role of integration-segmentation.
