Under Pressure: Time Management, Self-Leadership, and the Nurse Manager

Decision making by nurses is complicated by the stress, chaos, and challenging demands of the work. One of the major stressors confronting nurses is perceived time pressure. Given the potential negative outcomes on nurses due to perceived time pressures, it seems logical that a nurse manager\u27s ability to lead nurses in moderating this time pressure and in turn to make better decisions could enhance nurse well-being and performance. Paralleling research in the nursing literature suggests that, in order to improve patients\u27 judgement of the care they received, nurse managers should embrace ways to lower nurses\u27 perceived time pressure. In this conceptual paper, we propose a model to help mitigate time pressure on nurse managers and their frontline nurses based on the research regarding time pressure, psychosocial care, time management, and self-leadership. Three metaconjectures and suggested future studies are given for further consideration by organizational and psychological researchers

Pushing down on me: The paradoxical role of self-leadership in the context of work pressure

One of the most pressing threats to individual employees in today's fast-paced work environment is work pressure. In this paper, the intention is to link the individual influence process of self-leadership to work pressure, representing the first empirical research to do so. Through this linkage, we suggest a means by which the individual worker may deal with the external force of work pressure, thus decoupling the consequences of work pressure from the organizational influence. Through linking self-leadership to work pressure's effects, we examine how the individual may mitigate the negative work pressure-driven outcomes whereas past research has typically focused on what the organization may do to mitigate these effects. Finally, this study aims to disentangle an existing paradox in the self-leadership literature through examining how the various strategies of self-leadership perform differently under the context of work pressure

The Impact of Self-Management Practices on Entrepreneurial Psychological States

It is well-known that entrepreneurs lead extremely busy lives. While research literature reports the stressors of entrepreneurial careers, few empirical studies have examined the actual management of the demands that entrepreneurs face in their daily lives. In this paper, we conducted a study of 472 small business owners and tested hypotheses on the roles of three self-management practices—exercise, work overload, and attention to detail—on stress, security, and job satisfaction. Exercise, work overload, and attention to detail serve as three important self-management practices that are largely under the decision-making of the individual entrepreneur

Self-Leadership: A Four Decade Review of the Literature and Trainings

This paper reviews the fourth decade of self-leadership research. Two previous reviews of self-leadership from 2006 and 2010 are summarized, and the paper applies categories from those reviews to examine recent research in the field. This paper also covers new topics and trends in self-leadership research. In previous review articles, new theoretical models for extending self-leadership models were proposed. Therefore, this paper continues that tradition by proposing a new model—the Meta-Performance Model—that offers self-leadership as a skillset for enhancing the individual performance of leaders who seek improvement through professional certification programs. Self-leadership and professional certification programs are often treated as a stand alone topics. However, this paper contends professionals would benefit from combining self-leadership training with other professional improvement programs

Meta-GWAS for age-related hearing impairement

The dataset comprises summary statistics from the meta-GWAS of 17 studies on age-related hearing impairement. The dataset accompanies the following paper: Genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies 48 risk variants and highlights the role of the stria vascularis in age-related hearing impairment Please cite the paper if using this dataset. Phenotype of ARHI was established using ICD diagnoses and self-reported hearing loss. The study comprised 148,152 cases and 575,472 controls or European ancestry. Adult male and female participants were included from the following 17 population-based cohort studies: Age, Genes/Environment Susceptibility - Reykjavik (AGES), the Danish Twin Registry (DTR), the Estonian Genome Center at the University of Tartu (EGCUT), FinnGen, Framingham Heart Study (FHS), Health Aging and Body Composition (HABC), Italian Network of Genetic Isolates - Friuli Venezia Giulia (INGI-FVG), the Rotterdam Study (RS, cohorts 1 - 3), the Salus in Apulia study (SA; formerly known as Great Age study), Screening Across the Lifespan Twin (SALT and SALTY - young), Screening Twin Adults: Genes and Environment (STAGE), TwinsUK, UK Biobank (UKBB), and the Women’s Genome Health Study (WGHS). UK Biobank data have been used under project #11516. Individual GWASs have been QC'd and harmonyzed using EasyQC followed by fixed-effects IVW meta-analysis using METAL. The dataset includes the results of meta-analysis for n = 8,244,938 SNV with MAF >0.001 and present in at least 9 cohorts. Dataset columns: SNP, rsID CHR, chromosome BP, genomic position (hg19) Allele1, effect allele Allele2, other allele Freq1, mean frequency of Allele1 FreqSE, standard error of Freq1 MinFreq, minimal frequency of Allele1 in the study cohorts MaxFreq, maximal frequency of Allele1 in the study cohorts Effect, effect size from the meta-analysis for Allele1 StdErr, standard error of Effect P.value, corresponding p-value for meta-analysis Direction, direction of effects in individual studies HetISq, I2 statistic for heterogeneity between studies HetChiSq, chi2 statistic for heterogeneity between studies HetDf, degrees of freedom for the chi2 statistic HetPval, p-value for heterogeneity between studies N, summary sample size Dataset columns description: Seventeen studies included
