The mediating role of self-directed learning ability in the impact of educational environment, learning motivation, and emotional intelligence on metacognitive awareness in nursing students

PurposeThis study aimed to examine the mechanisms influencing metacognitive awareness among nursing students, encompassing educational environment, learning motivation, emotional intelligence, and self-directed learning ability. These findings could be a theoretical reference for formulating metacognitive awareness intervention strategies specifically designed for nursing students.MethodThrough stratified sampling, 600 nursing students were recruited from two universities in China. Data collection involved five self-report instruments: the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory, Medical Education Environment Evaluation Scale, Learning Motivation Scale, Emotional Intelligence Scale, and Self-Directed Learning Ability Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was utilized to test the measurement model, while structural equation modeling utilized multiple indices to assess model fit. Bootstrapping was conducted to analyze total, direct, and indirect effects.ResultsAll study variables differed significantly according to age and year level (p < 0.01). Metacognitive awareness positively correlated with the educational environment, learning motivation, emotional intelligence, and self-directed learning ability ( r = 0.493–0.729; all p < 0.01). The test of the measurement model shows good reliability and validity. The model depicting factors influencing metacognitive awareness demonstrated a good fit (χ2/df = 2.42, SRMR = 0.048, RMSEA = 0.049, CFI = 0.947, IFI = 0.935). Path analyses revealed that educational environment (EE), learning motivation (LM), and emotional intelligence (EI) directly impacted self-directed learning ability (SDLA) ( βEE = 0.189, βLM = 0.436; βEI = 0.215; all p < 0.05). Moreover, educational environment and self-directed learning ability directly influenced metacognitive awareness (βEE = 0.224, βSDLA = 0.520; all p < 0.05). Lastly, the educational environment, learning motivation, and emotional intelligence influenced metacognitive awareness by self-directed learning ability.ConclusionMetacognitive awareness in nursing students rises with age and year level. Females exhibit more potent self-directed learning abilities than males. Educational environment, motivation, and emotional intelligence indirectly influence metacognitive awareness via self-directed learning ability. This finding has enriched the ways and perspectives of metacognitive awareness training for nursing students.

Exploring the Impact of Employee Motivation on Investment Decisions: - A Study of Factors Influencing Mutual Fund Investment Among Corporate Employee

This study explores the impact of employee motivation on investment decisions, specifically focusing on the factors influencing mutual fund investments among corporate employees. As financial literacy and investment participation grow, understanding the underlying motivations that drive investment choices is crucial for both individuals and financial institutions. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we conducted surveys and in-depth interviews with corporate employees across various sectors. The findings reveal that intrinsic motivations, such as personal financial goals and career advancement, significantly influence mutual fund investment decisions. Additionally, extrinsic factors, including company-sponsored financial education programs and peer influence, play a critical role in shaping employees' investment behaviors. Our analysis indicates that motivated employees are more likely to engage in proactive financial planning and make informed investment choices. We also identified barriers such as risk aversion and lack of confidence in investment knowledge that hinder mutual fund participation. The implications of this study suggest that organizations should enhance employee motivation through targeted financial education initiatives and create a supportive investment culture. By doing so, companies can not only improve employee financial well-being but also foster a more engaged and motivated workforce. This research contributes to the existing literature on employee motivation and investment behavior, offering insights for corporate stakeholders and financial advisors aiming to enhance mutual fund investment strategies among employees.

IntroductionMedical postgraduates generally experience high levels of depression and anxiety. Previous studies have investigated the impact of various achievement motivations on depression/anxiety among medical students.MethodsThis study focused on self-esteem and perceived stress, examining the internal mechanisms through which achievement motivation affects depression/anxiety. 530 medical postgraduate students (66.04% female and 33.96% male) were administered the Achievement Goal Orientation Scale, Self-Esteem Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale.ResultsResults indicated that: (1) mastery-approach goals were negatively correlated with depression/anxiety; mastery-avoidance goals were positively correlated with depression/anxiety; performance-avoidance goals positively predicted depression/anxiety; (2) self-esteem mediated the relationship between achievement motivation and depression/anxiety; (3) perceived stress played a mediating role in the relationship between achievement motivation and depression/anxiety; (4) self-esteem and perceived stress played a chain mediating role in the relationship between achievement motivation and depression/anxiety; (5) there was no significant linear correlation between mastery-approach goals and depression/anxiety.DiscussionAlthough this study employed a cross-sectional design and self-report scales, both of which have certain limitations, the findings still hold significant theoretical and practical implications. The research reveals a mediating pathway between achievement goals and mental health, offering new insights into mental health education for medical graduate students.
