Nat, who was obsessed by learning languages from the age of 12, studied Russian and Italian at Oxford University. There’s more than one type of language learner as Nat proves. The pair went on to found uTalk (formerly known as EuroTalk) - and fixed their own language problem. And that again is part of where our product came from because we wanted something that was easy for lazy learners.” “And then we thought that maybe it was our fault for not learning French at school… and then maybe we thought actually we had really bad teachers at school… and then maybe we thought actually we were just really lazy learners. “They really annoyed us by talking in French all the time and we thought that was bad,” Dick relates with a chuckle. Dick and his work colleague, Andrew Ashe, went to a business meeting in Paris - and didn’t understand the spoken French. The decision to launch a language learning company came about because of a language problem. The only problem I had after that was I couldn’t decide whether it was a man or a woman!” I thought ‘easy’ - I will just wait until someone goes in and I waited and I waited and it must have been something like 20 minutes before someone went in one of the doors. “I needed to go to the bathroom and there were two doors and in those days no signs on the doors, just words and they were in Hungarian and I had no idea which one was which. It’s because, back in the company’s early days, Dick spent an uncomfortable half an hour in the deserted arrivals hall of a Hungarian airport. The relationship between leadership and job performance remains unclear.There’s a reason why the app always includes the words written on men’s and women’s restroom doors. There is a relative lack of well-founded prospective studies targeting the association between leadership and employee health, but the few available good studies suggest an important role of leadership on employee job satisfaction, job well-being, sickness absences, and disability pensions.
The evidence was weak on that leadership is associated with job satisfaction (median RR 2.23, range 1.30 to 3.51) but not with job performance (RR 1.13, range 0.55 to 1.20). There was moderate evidence that leadership is associated with job well-being (risk ratio 1.40, range 1.36 to 1.57), sick leave (RR 0.73, range 0.70 to 0.89), and disability pension (RR 0.46, range 0.42 to 0.59).
Altogether, 109 articles were thoroughly analyzed our conclusions are based on 27 articles providing the best evidence. The strength of evidence was evaluated comprehensively. In addition, other sources produced 69 articles. Out of 303 references, 93 publications were retrieved. The main search terms were leadership, job satisfaction, well-being, sick leave, and disability pension. Original articles published in 1970 to 2005 were searched in MEDLINE and PsycINFO databases in a systematic manner. These intermediate outcomes are supposed to predict work-related loss of productivity and disability at work. The aim of this systematic literature analysis was to study the association between leadership and well-being at work and work-related health.
