Les conflits que soulèvent l'élaboration des conventions collectives font souvent l'objet aux Etats-Unis d'un règlement à l'amiable. Cependant, dans un souci d'optimisation des solutions, on a de plus en plus recours à la technique d'A.D.R. (Alternative Dispute Resolution) comme c'est le cas du conflit de l'U.S. Postal Service.

Le service postal, auquel sont très attachés les Français, a connu depuis une dizaine d'années de nombreuses évolutions qui tiennent à la fois du contexte européen mais surtout des changements dans la gestion de l'entreprise La Poste. Derrière le panneau indiquant la présence postale dans l'espace rural se distinguent différentes formes de service en fonction du chiffre d'affaires réalisé. Entre rentabilité et souci d'aménagement du territoire, principe imposé par les pouvoirs publics, La Poste cherche le juste milieu. Ces évolutions produisent des impacts considérables sur les territoires ruraux et sur les habitants. Cet article dévoile la nouvelle organisation postale, ses effets sur l'espace rural et mobilise les résultats d'une grande enquête quantitative auprès des habitants des communes rurales sur les évolutions en cours.

La désertification médicale progresse dans les territoires ruraux. Dans les campagnes les plus isolées, l'accès au soin est mis à mal par une série de mutations sociales et spatiales (du vieillissement démographique au développement de la mobilité). Enjeu national, le maintien d'un service public de santé au niveau local est devenu une priorité pour les collectivités territoriales de plus en plus en prises avec la problématique de l'équité spatiale.

Il s'agit d'évaluer les implications du Programme de changement de réseau postal sur la configuration spatiale des bureaux de poste au Pays de Galles. Une approche analytique de réseau permet d'identifier les espaces qui ne disposent d'aucun service dans le cadre des critères d'accès utilisés pour guider le programme de fermetures et calculer les distances à parcourir. Les indications nationales sur la fourniture de services publics de la poste ne sont pas suivies au Pays de Galles. Si le recours aux SIG améliore les choses, des enquêtes plus détaillées sur les impacts des changements sont nécessaires.

Aims: In 1993, a qualifying day without sickness benefit was introduced to the Swedish sickness benefit system. The aim of the present study is to investigate sickness absenteeism before and after the introduction of the qualifying day, in the light of conditions inside and outside working life. Methods: The study was based on 1,952 female and 2,229 male employees of Sweden Post. Sickness absence was measured by sickness incidence one year before and one year after the introduction of the qualifying day (sick-leave events/person days at risk). Information about explanatory factors was collected by a postal questionnaire in 1994. Results: A decrease in sickness incidence was observed after the introduction of the qualifying day as well as an increase in the mean duration of sick-leave events. The proportion of long-term sick-leave events (15-365 days) increased; among men this increase was also found in absolute terms. There were no suggestions of economy being an important determinant for reduced sickness incidence. Women with long-term or serious disease did not show a reduction of sickness incidence to the same extent as those without disease, and for men a coherent result was observed. Men with heavy lifting at work more often showed an increase in incidence compared to men without heavy lifting, and the same tendency was found for women. Conclusion: The reduction in sickness incidence following the introduction of the qualifying day was fairly independent of different work-related and non-work-related factors. The impact of the qualifying day differed depending on health status and the physical workload.

Personality and cognitive predictors of mail coding were investigated in 2 samples, 1 of high coding ability (N=56) and 1 of mixed ability (N=158). Two approaches to predicting correlates of skill within groups of differing ability were compared: Ackerman's (1988) ability theory, and Norman and Shallice's (1985) account of levels of action control. The predictors of mail-coding skill varied with ability: Personality variables were more predictive among higher ability subjects, and cognitive measures were more predictive among lower ability subjects. Implications of the findings for theories of individual differences in skill are discussed.

The present study examined the pattern of associations among physical activity, social support, mobility disability, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). Persons (N = 218) with RRMS completed a battery of questionnaires that was sent and returned through the United States Postal Service (USPS). Bivariate correlation analysis indicated that physical activity and social support were both inversely associated with depressive symptoms (r's = ―0.288 and ―0.386, p ≤ 0.05, respectively). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that physical activity (β = ―0.21, p = 0.002) and social support (β = ―0.37, p = 0.0001) were independently associated with depressive symptoms. Path analysis confirmed that the associations between physical activity and social support with depressive symptoms were indirect via mobility disability and perceived stress. Collectively, the evidence indicates that physical activity and social support are independently and indirectly associated with depression via mobility disability and perceived stress in relapsing-remitting MS. This supports the design of interventions and programs that target physical activity and social support for reducing depressive symptoms among persons with MS.

There is a lack of data regarding the associations among changes in social cognitive variables and physical activity over time in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). To that end, the current study adopted a panel design and analysis for examining hypothesized relationships among changes in social cognitive variables and physical activity over time in persons with MS, and this is necessary for designing effective behavioral interventions. On two occasions separated by an 18-month period, persons (N = 218) with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), who were initially recruited by telephone for a cross-sectional study, completed a battery of questionnaires that assessed social cognitive variables and physical activity. Those study materials were delivered and returned via the United State Postal Service. The 18-month changes in self-efficacy (path coefficient = .25, p < .01) and goal setting (path coefficient = .26, p < .01) had direct effects on residual change in physical activity. The change in self-efficacy further had an indirect effect on residual change in physical activity that was accounted for by change in goal setting (path coefficient = .05, p < .05). This longitudinal study suggests that self-efficacy and goal setting represent plausible targets for changing physical activity behavior in persons with RRMS.

Mail surveys are a staple of the survey industry; however, they are rarely used in surveys of the general population. The problem is twofold: (1) lack of a complete sampling frame of households and (2) difficulties with ensuring random selection of a respondent within the household. However, advances in electronic record keeping, such as the U.S. Postal Service Delivery Sequence File, now make it possible to sample from a frame of residential addresses. Unfortunately, less is known about the effectiveness of within-household selection techniques for household mail surveys. A six-state pilot study was conducted as part of the 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System using the Delivery Sequence File to sample addresses for a mail survey. The pilot study tested three respondent selection methods: any adult, adult with the next birthday, and all adults. The next-birthday and all-adults methods yielded household-level response rates that were comparable to the any-adult method, the method assumed to have the least respondent burden. At the respondent level, however, the response rate for the all-adults method was lower when we accounted for within-household nonresponse.

Valid and reliable public health data are becoming more difficult to obtain through random-digit dial (RDD) telephone surveys. As a result, researchers are evaluating different survey designs (i.e., sampling frame and survey mode combinations) as complements or alternatives to RDD. Traditionally, mail surveys of the general public have been limited due to a lack of a complete sampling frame of households. Recent advances in electronic record keeping, however, have allowed researchers to develop a sample from a frame of addresses (e.g., the U.S. Postal Service Delivery Sequence File, which appears to provide coverage which rivals or possibly exceeds that obtained through RDD sampling methods). To test the use of this frame for surveying adults aged 18 years and older across a wide geographic area, a pilot study was conducted as part of the 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The pilot compared use of a traditional, RDD telephone survey methodology to an approach using a mail version of the questionnaire completed by a random sample of households drawn from an address-based frame. The findings indicate that the mail survey approach can achieve higher response rates in low-response-rate states (<40%) than RDD (particularly when two mailings are sent). Additionally, the address frame with mail survey design provides access to cell phone only households and offers cost savings over the telephone approach. The resulting sample, however, significantly overrepresents non-Hispanic whites and people with higher levels of education.

On-site enumeration is generally regarded as the most comprehensive method for developing sampling frames for area household surveys. However, the time and expense associated with on-site enumeration often precludes it from being a viable option for many household surveys. Residential mailing lists provide an alternative that enables in-person surveys to be done cheaper and faster than is possible with on-site enumeration. The primary drawback of mailing lists is that the completeness of the lists is unknown. In this article, we evaluate the coverage of mailing addresses that were used as a sampling frame for a probability-based survey of 15,000 households in Dallas County, TX. The addresses were obtained from the Delivery Sequence File (DSF) offered by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) through a nonexclusive license agreement with private companies. The DSF is a computerized file that contains all delivery point addresses serviced by the USPS, with the exception of general delivery. To evaluate the coverage of the mailing addresses, we used Kish's Half-Open Interval (HOI) procedure to search for missed housing units in the interval between the selected address and the next address in delivery sequence order. A total of 46 missed addresses (1.9 percent) were found among the 2,380 HOIs randomly selected for examination. In addition, we discovered that the vast majority of persons who maintained a residential P.O. box also have mail delivered to their street address. Finally, the mailing addresses yielded a 90 percent occupancy rate, which is consistent with metropolitan household surveys that use on-site enumeration methods.

This study focused on the relationship between overtime and psychological health in high and low reward jobs, and in jobs with high and low external pressure to work overtime. Data were collected for 535 full-time employees of the Dutch Postal Service. In general, overtime was associated with negative work-home interference and negative home-work interference. Split-sample logistic regression analyses showed that employees reporting low rewards had elevated risks of burnout, negative work-home interference and slow recovery. In addition, the combination of overtime and low rewards was associated with negative home-work interference. A second analysis was conducted separately for employees who reported overtime in order to study the effects of external pressure to work overtime. In this subgroup, low rewards were associated with elevated risks of health complaints, emotional exhaustion and negative home-work interference. Moreover, employees who reported overtime and a high pressure to work overtime in combination with low rewards had elevated risks of poor recovery, cynicism, and negative work-home interference. The results suggest that even a limited number of hours of involuntary overtime is associated with adverse mental health, but only in low reward situations.

Le U.S. Postal Service (USPS) est en crise actuellement dans de nombreuses grandes villes des Etats-Unis. Ceci est dû, en grande partie, à l'arrivée des nouvelles technologies de communication. Par conséquent, le USPS a installé en 1993 un réseau permettant d'avoir des informations sur les actions du gouvernements à tous les niveaux, et un projet de kiosque, ou lieu où pourait être consulté ce réseau, a été proposé à des bibliothécaires. Si quelques uns sont enthousiastes, d'autres sont plus difficiles à convaincre.
