Working in a Physically Dangerous Work Environment: Employee Vitality and Sustainable Behavior [PDF]

Sustainability, 2019
There is a limited understanding of the antecedents and consequences of employee vitality during war zone exposure. The current study is one of the first ones to investigate the direct effects of perceived danger on employee vitality by collecting data from Afghanistan, one of the most dangerous countries in the world.

Importance of math prerequisites for performance in introductory physics

Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Previous work has looked at the relationship between high school preparation and student performance in calculus-based introductory mechanics (physics 1) courses. Here, we extend that work to look at performance in introductory calculus-based electricity

Nutrition, Physical Work Capacity and Work Output

, 1984
It is generally believed that productivity among workers developing countries is low. This has been attributed at least in part to their poor physique as a consequence of chronic malnutrition. Evidence based upon epidemiological data collected during wars and other conditions of deprivation have indicated that inadequacy of food intake results in ...

Student evaluations of physics teachers: On the stability and persistence of gender bias

Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] There is a long history of research which confounds the simple interpretation that evaluations in an educational context are purely measures of competency.
