http://kspjournals.org/index.php/JEST/article/view/2450
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The objective of this research is to establish a connection between social regulation mechanisms and the trajectory of access to social networks among Cameroonian adolescents. The study explores the various normative indications that influence social media users. It is evident that the normative and regulatory framework for accessing social networks and the internet, in general, is not sufficiently coercive and dissuasive to encourage appropriate behavior among young people in cyberspace. Strengthening adolescent security should involve stricter behavioral control, both autonomously and in negotiation with public authorities.</p><p><strong>Keywords.</strong> Social regulation; Social networks; Cameroonian adolescents.</p><strong>JEL. </strong>A10; E59; N16.Sabine Célestine ETA-FOUDA BIDZOAMaïmounah MOUSSA101-211210.1453/jest.v10i1-2.2450Female single parenthood, poverty and livelihoods strategies in rural area: Evidence from Cameroon
http://kspjournals.org/index.php/JEST/article/view/2451
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In Sub-Saharan Africa, female single-parent families of rural areas face many difficulties in their daily lives. This article analyses the determinants of single parenthood and the livelihoods strategies of single parents facing poverty in the Abang and Longo localities, located in the Nanga-Eboko Sub-division, in Cameroon. The observation of these populations and the analysis carried with the semi-structured interview method in 2021 reveal that these single-parent families suffer from poverty, due to their vulnerable situation. In response to this, in order to meet their basic needs, they develop livelihoods strategies based on family solidarity, social support and small income-generating activities, mainly in the informal sector of the local economy.</p><p><strong>Keywords.</strong> Single parenthood; Poverty; Livelihoods strategies; Cameroon, Daily life.</p><strong>JEL. </strong>A13; D10; Z10.Jean Louis EKOMANERaïssa MEGUEDJIO101-2132710.1453/jest.v10i1-2.2451Managerial communication as a lever for preventing psychosocial risks in organizations in times of crisis: the case of the Moroccan hospital sector [La communication managériale comme levier de prévention des risques psychosociaux dans les organisations]
http://kspjournals.org/index.php/JEST/article/view/2423
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In a fast-changing world, companies are facing many upheavals and challenges. Therefore, they must adapt to the different social, economic, technological and human changes which deeply affect their methods of organization and management. As a result, employees will be required to adopt new management methods and tools in order to guarantee stability and sustainability. Although psychosocial risks constitute a real public health problem that requires global reflection on the part of both decision-makers and managers, few studies in human resource management have focused on the determinants of these risks and more particularly their protective factors. Hence, this work falls within such a context and it is conducted in the frame of a quantitative research, aiming to put into perspective the role of managerial communication in the prevention of PSR among nursing staff in Moroccan public hospitals in times of crisis.</p><p><strong>Keywords.</strong> PSR; Managerial communication; Prevention; Crisis.</p><p><strong>JEL. </strong>I10; M50; J50.</p>Mouna KERBACHEl Mostafa FTOUH2023-08-072023-08-07101-2486010.1453/jest.v10i1-2.2423
