Method: We conducted a survey of 136 nursery school nurses using an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire. Questionnaires were distributed to 186 people at licensed daycare centers in Ibaraki Prefecture. The following conclusions were obtained by analyzing 136 participants, excluding deficiencies: A multiple regression analysis (forced entry method) was performed. Results: The survey results show that most of the nurses in the nursery school were female, about 90$ were married, and about 70$ had children. Work engagement was generally high compared with other occupations. Moreover, it was influenced by their work-self balance (positive), the meaning of their work, and the leadership of bosses. It was suggested that there is a need for an environment where nurses can maintain a work-life balance, a place where childcare health activities can be carried out, and opportunities to participate in training and liaison meetings for nursery nurses to further enhance work engagement. Conclusion: It was influenced by work self-balance (positive), the meaning of their work, and boss leadership.

They have made great contributions to urban prosperity, rural development and their country's modernization. At present, however, farmer workers face numerous difficulties and problems in income, work safety, social security, vocational training, the schooling of their children and living conditions. To safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of farmer workers, the State Council in March 2006 issued Ideas of the State Council on Solving Farmer Workers-related Problems. In the document, the State Council promises to strengthen and improve leadership over work regarding farmer workers and prioritize the solving of farmer workers-related problems.展开更多

For this purpose, it is necessary to address the methodological question of how an individual’s spatial context has to be operationalized with respect to both its extent and the problem of spatial autocorrelation. Our analyses show that the “zone of influence” comprises of the whole of Germany, not only close-by districts, and that these effects differ between structurally weak and strong regions. Consequently, assuming that only close proximity affects individual outcomes may disregard relevant contextual influences, and for spatial models that require an a priori definition of the weights for spatial units, it may be erroneous to make a decision based on this assumption. Concerning spatial autocorrelation, we found that neglecting local spatial autocorrelation at the context level causes considerable bias to the estimates, especially for districts that are close to the home district.展开更多
