Hematopoiesis is a complex and tightly regulated process that drives the formation of mature blood cells from a single hematopoietic stem cell. This complex process occurs within the bone marrow, which, once disrupted or deregulated, subverts normal hematopoietic development, allowing leukemic cells to emerge, proliferate, and thrive. Notably, several cellular populations and paracrine factors within the bone m...
Purpose – This study aims to adapt and validate the Job Crafting Scale (JCS), a measure based on the conceptualization of job crafting of the job demands–resources theory, for a sample of Portuguese workers and to test its psychometric properties regarding validity (factor, convergent, discriminant, and criterion) and reliability.

A pandemia de COVID-19 contribuiu para uma degradação das condições psicossociais de trabalho (e.g., aumento das exigências emocionais), especialmente em profissões ligadas à área dos serviços humanos. Para atenuar os efeitos negativos dos fatores de risco psicossociais nos processos de trabalho é fulcral identificar possíveis variáveis moderadoras. Esta investigação testou o papel moderador dos recursos labora...
