Make Me a Cake as Fast as You can: Forces for and Against Change in the Sexual Division of Labour at an Industrial Bakery

Work Employment and Society (1993)

Lucie Dumais Karen Messing A M Seifert Julie Courville Nicole Vézina

Jobs considered as `naturally' women's in one situation are assigned to men a few years or miles away. We ask how a sexual division of labour which is so fluid when regarded in a historical perspective appears so rigid when observed at a given time. One type of factor which is variable historically but very solid and material in a given workplace is the physical installation which represents a considerable economic investment. Ergonomists and sociologists together studied the forces acting on the sexual division of labour in an industrial bakery in Quebec. Using direct observations, videotaping, questionnaires and interviews, we examined the physical characteristics of men's and women's jobs, cultural representations, and union and management practices. We found that physical difficulties were as important as organisational and cultural barriers in maintaining the division of labour, while the age of women workers, union support and economic impetus were significant determinants of change.

Star Wars and Strategic Defense Initiatives: Work Activity and Health Symptoms of Unionized Bank Tellers during Work Reorganization

International Journal of Health Services (1997)

A M Seifert Karen Messing Lucie Dumais

Work activity and health symptoms of bank tellers whose work was undergoing reorganization were examined during a university-union study of the health effects of work in women's traditional jobs. Data were gathered through collective and individual interviews, analysis of work activity, and a questionnaire administered to 305 tellers. Employees worked in a standing posture over 80 percent of the time. More than two-thirds frequently suffered pain in back, legs, and feet. The average teller had been involved in 3.7 robberies as a direct victim and six as a witness. Work required feats of memory and concentration. In order to meet job demands, tellers engaged in supportive activities and teamwork. The introduction of individualized objectives threatened the employees' ability to collaborate and induced distress. More than twice as many tellers as other female workers in Québec experience psychological distress (Ilfeld scale), related to: robbery during the past two years (odds ratio = 1.7; confidence interval = 1.0-2.9); difficult relations with superiors (O.R. = 2.6; C.I. = 1.3-5.3); and full-time work (O.R. = 2.3; C.I. = 1.3-3.9). Diverse methods enriched the analysis, and union participation allowed the proposal of concrete correction measures.

Situationales Risikobewusstsein von Motorradfahrern / Situational hazard awareness of motorcyclists

Forschungshefte Zweiradsicherheit (2008)

Ulrike Schulz A M Seifert

Moderne Theorien des Fahrerverhaltens stellen die Bedeutung der kognitiven Repraesentation typischer Verkehrssituationen und die Verfuegbarkeit angemessener Verhaltensplaene heraus. Die Forschungsgruppe Verkehrspsychologie der Universitaet Bielefeld folgte diesem Forschungsstrang seit einigen Jahren und entwickelte neben anderen Instrumenten einen videogestuetzten Fragebogen, um verschiedene Aspekte des situationalen Risikobewusstseins von Motorradfahrern zu erfassen. Die aktuelle Studie beruht auf Daten von 138 Motorradfahrern, die 12 Risikoaspekte fuer jede von 13 Motorradsituationen beurteilten. Diese Daten werden analysiert, um einen Ueberblick ueber die strukturellen Beziehungen der Risikoaspekte zu erhalten. Die Beziehung der Risikoakzeptanz zu anderen Risikovariablen ist von besonderem Interesse. Zunaechst wird mit Mitteln der ordinalen Regression diese Beziehung fuer die Gesamtstichprobe untersucht. In einem zweiten Schritt wird mit statistischen Mitteln der Segmentierung (endliche Mischmodelle) die Heterogenitaet der Motorradfahrerpopulation gezeigt. Die eine Haelfte der Motorradfahrerpopulation hat eine normale Struktur des Risikobewusstseins. Die Struktur der anderen Haelfte ist aehnlich der von Personen, die Erregung und Thrill suchen. (A) ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: Modern theories of driver behaviour emphasize the importance of cognitive representations of typical traffic situations and of the availability of appropriate behavioural plans. The traffic psychology group of Bielefeld University followed this research line for several years and developed among other instruments a video based questionnaire for recording several aspects of motorcycle riders' situational hazard awareness. The actual study is based on data of 138 motorcycle riders who rated 12 risk aspects for each of 13 motorcycling situations. These data are analysed in order to obtain an overview of the structural relations of risk aspects. The relation of risk acceptance with other risk variables is of special interest. First the authors study this relation for the entire sample by means of ordinal regression. In a second step heterogeneity of the motorcyclists' population is shown by statistical means of segmentation (finite mixture modelling). One half of the motorcyclist population has a normal cognitive hazard awareness structure. The structure of the other half is similar to that of sensation- and thrill-seekers. (A) Beitrag zur 7.

Evaluation of exposure data from men and women with the same job title.

PubMed (1994)

Karen Messing Lucie Dumais Julie Courville A M Seifert Marcel Boucher

In the epidemiological approach to occupational cancers, large bodies of data must be analyzed to find rare cases of cancer. The exposure status of workers must therefore be assessed. Inaccuracies will lead to bias toward the null value in certain cases. Job title has often been used as a proxy for exposure status. This study was undertaken to examine content (ie, tasks and activities) associated with job title among men and women in a large Québec municipality. Occupational accident reports were studied for 1589 accidents, and 113 men and women workers were interviewed about job content. Women and men did not seem to have the same accident rates. From interview data, it appeared that women and men with the same job title did not perform the same tasks. Thus, they might have different exposures. The data reported here support caution in using job title to estimate exposure for both genders if the job-exposure matrix has not previously been validated separately by gender. In addition, it may be unwise to adjust relationships between job title and cancer incidence for gender, thus treating gender as a confounder when it may be a proxy for specific exposures.

Molecular characterization of 15 rearrangements among 90 human in vivo somatic mutants shows that deletions predominate.

Molecular and Cellular Biology (1987)

William E. Bradley J. L. Pierre Gareau A M Seifert Karen Messing

Ninety hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase-deficient mutants were isolated from lymphocytes of 31 individuals drawn from both control populations and populations exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation. Southern analysis of the DNA revealed altered hybridization patterns in 15 mutants. Of these, 14 changes consisted of deletions of 2 to 40 kilobases or more.
