Summary: Although previous studies have examined the effects of music on performance or outcomes, limited knowledge exists about how music affects individuals in the workplace, specifically in terms of perceived music use. This study investigated the impact of emotional, cognitive, and background music on job satisfaction and performance. The results revealed that emotional use of music had a positive relationship with performance, both directly and through job satisfaction mediation. Cognitive use had no significant effect on satisfaction and performance, and background use had a negative relationship with job satisfaction and no relationship with performance. This research suggests that listening to music at work can be a positive practice, and future studies should consider personal and contextual characteristics of music listening as a resource.

Summary: Italian university students face an uncertain future characterized by a competitive neoliberal academic environment and a weak labor market. The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened their uncertainty and impacted their well-being negatively. This study explores perceptions of academic life during the pandemic and examines the relationship between study load, reduced academic performance, internet addiction, academic self-efficacy, and engagement and emotional exhaustion. Results show gender differences, with female students reporting lower engagement and self-efficacy, and higher exhaustion and study demands compared to male students. Older students generally exhibit higher levels of well-being. Study load, reduced academic performance, and internet addiction are negatively associated with engagement and positively associated with exhaustion, while self-efficacy is positively associated with engagement and negatively associated with exhaustion. The findings highlight the need for additional support, such as psychological support, internet addiction awareness courses, or counseling services.

Summary: Recently, the possible new clinical condition of Studyholism has been proposed, emphasizing its potential antecedents and outcomes. This study investigates the role of Internet addiction in moderating the relationship between Studyholism, academic exhaustion, and insomnia. The results show a direct effect of Studyholism on both academic exhaustion and insomnia, and confirm the moderating role of Internet addiction. It is suggested to screen students reporting insomnia and academic exhaustion for both Internet addiction and Studyholism, as they may contribute to these negative health-related aspects.

Summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the burnout construct within the category of long-term unemployed individuals engaged in job search activity. The study utilized a cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory design, with 208 Italian unemployed jobseekers completing an adapted version of the OCS Burnout scale. Findings revealed positive relationships between job search duration and exhaustion, disillusionment, and disengagement, while a negative relationship was observed with effectiveness in job search. Additionally, MANOVA analysis indicated that older unemployed individuals rated themselves as less effective and more exhausted compared to younger individuals. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of the psychosocial effects of job search on the unemployed.
