Instead, configurations such as the \"low-strain unbalanced type\" formed by coupling high resources with low demands and the \"positive balanced type\" formed by coupling high resources with high demands led to high self-efficacy in flexible work. Conversely, the configuration termed \"high-strain unbalanced type,\" resulting from coupling high demands with low resources, led to non-high self-efficacy in flexible work.ConclusionsThe collection of flexible work characteristics affects employee self-efficacy in multiple paths and alternative relationships, and companies can improve employee self-efficacy in flexible work through diversified flexible work design according to organizational development requirements and endowment differences.</p>","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"353-366"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144060399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study proposes a multi-stage implementation strategy, beginning with pilot adoption of simple-function robots and progressing toward complex applications aligned with institutional readiness. Key influencing factors include people innovation (reducing workforce burden) and process innovation (streamlining operations).ConclusionsThis study provides actionable insights into the strategic deployment of robotic services in elderly care facilities.

Causal attributions, as a key component of how individuals make sense of the world, influence decisions and behaviors regardless of their accuracy. For example, attributing distress to work-related stressors can alter workers' motivation and performance and affect decisions on whether to seek help, take sick leave, return to work, change careers, or retire early. In addition, it is underlined that, although causal attributions are of interest independently of their accuracy, this does not mean they should indiscriminately be dismissed as etiologically irrelevant. In many cases, workers have the best knowledge of their work, the workplace stressors, and how these stressors affect them. The available evidence indicates that the ODI assesses work-attributed depressive symptoms validly and reliably.
