Abstract
Introduction. The international publication is now a requirement for graduate students. It is part of the strategy of higher education institutions to improve their quality and compete at the global level. Hence, their intention to develop academic networks and their level of acceptance at the international level. Accordingly, this study seeks to investigate the mediation role of reward and psychological capital on stress relations and student effort for international joint publications. Materials and Methods. There are 421 master and doctoral students employed in this research. The data collected by questionnaire. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to analyze the data. Results. The results show that the reward and psychological capital mediate the effect of stress on the student effort for international joint publication. The overall analysis shows that stress does not affect the student effort for international joint publication. Hence the mediation analysis is necessary for explaining the evidence of the stress-effort relationship. The reward is found significantly mediated by the stress-effort relationship and stress-psychological relationship, and the psychological shows a significant effect on the reward-effort relationship. The model of this study represents the joint mediation effect of rewards and psychological capital on the stress-effort relationship in the satisfactorily model of compliance. Discussion and Conclusion. This finding makes researchers develop the integrated behavioral model of stress-effort relationship by using various behavioral mechanisms in order to extend student achievement on international publication.
Highlights
The international publication is a requirement for graduate students
Whereas Student reward and stress are measured by developing the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) Questionnaire from Siegrist et al Further construct of Psychological Capital is a design based on Psychological Capital (PsyCap) Questionnaire (PCQ) [18]
It is believed to be a pressure for students to complete their studies and increase their effort to collaborate with international publications
Summary
The international publication is a requirement for graduate students It is part of the strategy of higher education institutions to improve their quality and compete at the global level. The results show that the reward and psychological capital mediate the effect of stress on the student effort for international joint publication. The model of this study represents the joint mediation effect of rewards and psychological capital on the stress-effort relationship in the satisfactorily model of compliance. The concept ‒ publish or perish, which signals the importance of publishing research results, has affected academe and universities Scholars increased their attention on the issues of publication [1,2,3,4,5]. There have been many studies discussing the quality of papers, the review of the issues of effort on academics to carry out international joint publications is lost in mind [7; 8]
