Strategic HRM: What will work be like in the future, and what impact will changes have on HR departments? Theoretical discussion and practical implications

The issue the authors are investigating is how work will evolve in the future. The question discussed here is as follows: What will work be like in the future, and what impact will changes have on HR departments? To answer this question, the authors have established the following research questions: 1. What will be the context for work in the future, and how will HR departments be affected? 2. How can organizations develop ideas and innovate, and how will HR departments be affected in the future? Method: Conceptual generalization. Findings: In the future, work will be largely compartmentalized and performed using specialist skills. Those organizations that survive will be extremely adaptable. Many organizations will be managed in accordance with a logic whereby their component parts are distributed across the global economy according to the following principles: extreme focus on costs, quality and expertise, and a high level of focus on innovatio

Det ekstroverte idealet

Denne bacheloroppgaven tar for seg personlighetstrekket ekstroversjon – introversjon med hensyn til rekrutteringsprosesser og stillingsannonser. Vi har i tillegg et fokus på hvordan informantene opplever disse motsetningene i arbeidslivet. Gjennom en kvalitativ undersøkelse skal vi besvare problemstillingen «Hvorfor er det så populært å søke etter personer med ekstroverte egenskaper til de fleste stillinger?» For å besvare problemstillingen har vi sett på forarbeidet i rekrutteringsprosessen, herunder jobbanalyser og stillingsannonser, for å undersøke hvordan dette påvirker søkere på ulike sider av skalaen ekstroversjon og introversjon. Vi har i tillegg sett på hvordan stereotypier rettet mot ekstroverte og introverte arbeidstakere, samt typiske fallgruver under intervjuet, har en innvirkning på seleksjonsprosessen. Vi har utført totalt seks dybdeintervjuer med tre ulike bemanningsbyråer, og tre arbeidssøkende studenter, for å belyse både samarbeidet mellom bemanningsbyråene og kunden, og arbeidssøkernes opplevelse av stillingsannonser og intervjuer. Vi avdekker at det er mangel på kunnskap om personlighetstrekket ekstroversjon - introversjon, noe som fører til stereotypiske utsagn og favoriseringer. Selv om bemanningsbyråene, som er profesjonelle rekrutterere, kan gi sine rådføringer om ansettelse er det til syvende og sist kunden som tar avgjørelsen. Det virker som det er stor bevissthet rundt populariteten knyttet til å søke etter personer med ekstroverte egenskaper til de fleste stillinger, uten at dette påvirker rekrutterere til å tenke annerledes. Med denne studien ønsker vi å påpeke viktigheten av en dypere forståelse for dette personlighetstrekket, og at ekstroverte og introverte arbeidstakere er like gode på hver sin måte – men best sammen. I praksis vil ekstroverte og introverte fungere godt sammen, utfylle hverandre og reduserer hverandres svakheter. Vi tror et slikt mangfold vil være svært konkurransedyktig for enhver bedrift

Association of physical activity with overall mortality among long-term testicular cancer survivors: A longitudinal study

Physical activity (PA) has been associated with reduced mortality among cancer survivors, but no study has focused on testicular cancer survivors (TCSs). We aimed to investigate the association of PA measured twice during survivorship with overall mortality in TCSs. TCSs treated during 1980 to 1994 participated in a nationwide longitudinal survey between 1998 to 2002 (S1: n = 1392) and 2007 to 2009 (S2: n = 1011). PA was self-reported by asking for the average hours per week of leisure-time PA in the past year. Responses were converted into metabolic equivalent task hours/week (MET-h/wk) and participants were categorized into: Inactives (0 MET-h/wk), Low-Actives (2-6 MET-h/wk), Actives (10-18 MET-h/wk) and High-Actives (20-48 MET-h/wk). Mortality from S1 and S2, respectively, was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier estimator and Cox proportional hazards models until the End of Study (December 31, 2020). Mean age at S1 was 45 years (SD 10.2). Nineteen percent (n = 268) of TCSs died between S1 and EoS, with 138 dying after S2. Compared to Inactives at S1, the mortality risk among Actives was 51% lower (HR 0.49, 95% CI: 0.29-0.84) with no further mortality reduction among High-Actives. At S2, the mortality risk was at least 60% lower among the Actives, High-Actives and even the Low-Actives compared to the Inactives. Persistent Actives (≥10 MET-h/wk at S1 and S2) had a 51% lower mortality risk compared to Persistent Inactives (<10 MET-h/wk at S1 and S2; HR 0.49, 95% CI: 0.30-0.82). During long-term survivorship after TC treatment, regular and maintained PA were associated with an overall mortality risk reduction of at least 50%

Denervation suppresses gastric tumorigenesis

The nervous system plays an important role in the regulation of epithelial homeostasis and has also been postulated to play a role in tumorigenesis. We provide evidence that proper innervation is critical at all stages of gastric tumorigenesis. In three separate mouse models of gastric cancer, surgical or pharmacological denervation of the stomach (bilateral or unilateral truncal vagotomy, or local injection of botulinum toxin type A) markedly reduced tumor incidence and progression, but only in the denervated portion of the stomach. Vagotomy or botulinum toxin type A treatment also enhanced the therapeutic effects of systemic chemotherapy and prolonged survival. Denervation-induced suppression of tumorigenesis was associated with inhibition of Wnt signaling and suppression of stem cell expansion. In gastric organoid cultures, neurons stimulated growth in a Wnt-mediated fashion through cholinergic signaling. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition or genetic knockout of the muscarinic acetylcholine M[subscript 3] receptor suppressed gastric tumorigenesis. In gastric cancer patients, tumor stage correlated with neural density and activated Wnt signaling, whereas vagotomy reduced the risk of gastric cancer. Together, our findings suggest that vagal innervation contributes to gastric tumorigenesis via M[subscript 3] receptor–mediated Wnt signaling in the stem cells, and that denervation might represent a feasible strategy for the control of gastric cancer
