Sample Peer Recognition: Fill & Download for Free

There is an exhibition going on in Toronto, Canada, aptly called "Fashion Victims". It displays samples of men and women fashion from the 18th and 19th century being health hazard, crinolines that could catch fire, Mercury-laced men's hats, poison laced ballroom gowns. Back then, people KNEW garments are deadly, but still used them. We are no different. We do know GMO food is dangerous but we still eat it. We do know we are being fed a diet of lies over media, but still consume all these lies. That's human nature, to ignore the perils for the peace of mind and peer recognition.BP spill? What's that? It happened ages ago, in 2010.

Hi Masoon Ul Haq, thank you for asking. I have just started my study on academic stress after I retired from academe last year because I have met a good number of professors and teachers who have asked me the same question. One interesting new perspective that has caught my interest in my review of literature in occupational stress research is “stress-as-offence-to-self”. I hope this from my notecard will be of help to you:Title: Stressing academia? Stress-as-offence-to-self at Danish universities. Authors: Opstrup, Niels; and Pihl-Thingvad, Signe. Source: Journal of Higher Education Policy & Management. Feb2016, Vol. 38 Issue 1, p39-52. 14p.Excerpts from their abstract (Ital Emphasis is mine) : “We have investigated the incongruence between the researchers’ work values and their perceptions of the working conditions provided by the organisation. The analysis is based on a sample of 2127 Danish university researchers. The results show that person-organisation incongruence with regard to freedom and independence in the job, job security, personal and professional development at work, and receiving peer recognition are associated with higher levels of stress among the researchers. Based on these results, we suggest three strategies for managers at universities to mitigate stress among academic employees: a tough recruitment process, a team-based organisation and a proactive human resource strategy”
