Impact of Hotel Employees’ Psychological Well-Being on Job Satisfaction and Pro-Social Service Behavior: Moderating Effect of Work–Life Balance

This study investigates how deluxe hotel employees’ perceptions of their own psychological well-being impact their job satisfaction and pro-social service behavior. It also examines the moderating effect of work–life balance on the relationship between psychological well-being and job satisfaction. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 275 deluxe hotel employees using convenience sampling. First, of the studied sub-factors of employee psychological well-being, positive relationships increased job satisfaction the most, followed by self-acceptance, purpose in life, and environmental mastery. Second, deluxe hotel employees’ job satisfaction positively impacted their pro-social service behavior. Third, the positive effect of one sub-factor of psychological well-being, purpose in life, had a stronger impact on job satisfaction in respondents with high levels of work–life balance. Theoretical and practical implications, as well as limitations and future research directions, are discussed.

Teleworking: role of psychological well-being and technostress in the relationship between trust in management and employee performance

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic and technological advancements have enabled employees to telework. Referring to this emerging phenomenon, the authors aim to examine how employees' levels of trust in management mediated by psychological well-being impact their performance as they telework. Deploying the theoretical lens of person-environment misfit, the authors also explore the role of technostress in the trust-wellbeing-performance relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe data was collected from 511 full-time service sector employees across Indian organizations through a structured survey questionnaire. The proposed moderation-mediation model for this study was tested using structural equation modeling and bootstrapping method.FindingsStructural equation modeling results indicate that trust in management significantly impacts employee performance while teleworking. While psychological well-being was observed as a significant mediator, technostress played the moderator role in the trust-performance relationship. The moderated-mediation effect of psychological well-being in the trust-performance relationship was stronger when technostress was low and weaker when technostress was high.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors extend the person-environment misfit theory in the context of telework, highlighting the role of technostress that may impact the trust-wellbeing- performance relationship in such work settings.Practical implicationsThe study informs leaders and managers on balancing delicate aspects such as employee trust and well-being that significantly impact performance as they telework. The authors also highlight the critical role of managers in respecting employees' personal and professional boundaries to alleviate technostress.Originality/valueThe authors make a novel theoretical contribution to the emerging literature on teleworking by examining the trust-psychological wellbeing-performance link and the role of technostress in this relationship.

Relationship between Psychological well-being and Marital Conflicts among Parents with Down Syndrome Children

The present study is conducted in Pakistan and will investigate the relationship between psychological well-being and marital conflicts among parents with Down syndrome children. The study was conducted in institutes of Islamabad, which include the Al-Farabi Institute and the National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine. The study was conducted in the speech and physiotherapy department of institutes and included those patients who were suffering from Down syndrome. Purposive sampling was used to acquire the data from 60 parents (30 mothers and 30 fathers) of Down syndrome children. Regression and correlation analysis was performed to determine the link between independent and dependent variables as well as the impact of psychological well-being (autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, personal growth, self-acceptance, and positive relations) on marital conflicts. The results show a positive and insignificant relationship between autonomy, positive relations, personal growth, self–acceptance, and marital conflicts but also reveal a negative and significant relationship between environmental mastery, purpose in life, and marital conflicts due to a poor environment. The research will help parents to lessen their stress and improve their environment. It will also guide the NGOs and civil society to encourage the parents and give them awareness about the coping strategies to deal with these situations.

The Impact of Psychological Well-Being, Employability and Work-Life Balance on Organizational Mobility of Women Engineering Technology

ABSTRAK Kerajaan sentiasa memberi penekanan kepada pendidikan Sains, Teknologi, Kejuruteraan dan Matematik (STEM) bagi memenuhi keperluan sumber tenaga manusia negara dalam bidang STEM. Walaubagaimanapun, kuantiti sumber manusia dalam bidang STEM agak membimbangkan disebabkan kemerosotan bilangan pelajar yang mengambil mata pelajaran STEM dan mobiliti kerjaya dalam kalangan graduan STEM ke kerjaya bukan STEM terutama graduan STEM wanita. Mobiliti kerjaya sering berlaku terutama dalam kalangan wanita kejuruteraan yang mengakibatkan kehilangan sumber manusia yang berharga kepada organisasi. Reka bentuk produk yang dihasilkan di organisasi lama akan dibawa ke organisasi baru dan dengan itu mencetuskan kerahsiaan isu reka bentuk produk. Kajian ini dijalankan untuk meneliti hubungan antara keseimbangan kerja-kehidupan, kebolehgajian dan kesejahteraan psikologi terhadap mobiliti organisasi dalam kalangan 114 graduan teknologi kejuruteraan wanita yang berada dalam industri di Malaysia. Model telah dibangunkan dan diuji menggunakan teknik SEM menggunakan perisian SmartPLS. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat hubungan antara kesejahteraan psikologi, kebolehgajian dan keseimbangan kerja-kehidupan terhadap mobiliti organisasi. Kajian ini menunjukkan kesejahteraan psikologi memainkan peranan utama dalam mobiliti organisasi bagi graduan teknologi kejuruteraan wanita. Di samping itu, kebolehgajian yang rendah juga menyumbang kepada mobiliti organisasi di kalangan graduan teknologi kejuruteraan wanita di industri. Kata Kunci: Mobiliti organisasi; Kesejahteraan psikologi; Keseimbangan kerja-kehidupan; kebolehgajian; Teknologis wanita. ABSTRACT The Government has always emphasised on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education to meet the needs of the country's human resources in STEM fields. However, the quantity of human resources in STEM fields is quite alarming due to the deterioration in the number of students taking STEM subjects and career mobility among STEM graduates to non-STEM careers, especially female STEM graduates. Career mobility often occurs among these engineering women which has resulted in the loss of valuable human resources to the organization. Product designs produced in previous organizations will be taken to a new organization and cause the issue of product design confidentiality. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between work-life balance, employability, and psychological well-being towards inter-organizational mobility among 114 women's engineering technology graduates who are in the industry in Malaysia. A model has been developed and tested using SEM techniques using SmartPLS software. The findings show that there is a negative relationship between psychological well-being, employability, and work-life balance towards inter-organizational mobility. The findings in this study are the influence of psychological well-being plays a major role in inter-organizational mobility among women technologists. In addition, low employability also contributes to the mobility of organizations among female engineering technology graduates in the industry. Keywords: Inter-organizational mobility; Psychological well-being; Work-life balance; Employability; Women technologist.

The impact of psychological well-being and ill-being on academic performance: a longitudinal and cross-sectional study

ABSTRACT Objective: There is limited empirical research investigating the relationship between well-being and academic achievement and existing studies are largely conducted using cross-sectional methodology constraining conclusions regarding causality.Method: This study conducted at a South Australian high school addresses this gap by longitudinally investigating well-being and 10 academic achievement. Separate hierarchical regressions were run for Semesters 1 and 2 measures of academic achievement using ill-being, well-being, and gender as predictors.Results: In each case, ill-being and gender made a significant contribution to the prediction of academic achievement on the first step of the hierarchical regression. However, when well-being was added in the second step, ill-being no longer made a significant contribution. Each well-being 15 subscale positively correlated with academic achievement with the strongest effect being for perseverance.Conclusion: Positive education may therefore offer educators an avenue for simultaneously improving the well-being of students and their academic achievement.

Spiritual Intelligence Moderates the Relationship Between Psychological Well-Being, Role Stress and Auditor Performance

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of psychological well-being and role stress on auditor performance, with spiritual intelligence serving as a moderating variable. The data collection for this study was obtained from a questionnaire and was collected at the Bali Province Public Accountant Office. The sample was determined using a purposive sampling method with 54 auditors from the Bali Province Public Accountants as respondents. In this study, the interaction test MRA was used to analyze data. According to the findings of the study, psychological well-being has a positive effect on auditor performance. This research also shows that role stress can impair auditor performance. Auditors' spiritual intelligence has the potential to strengthen the relationship between psychological well-being and auditor performance. On the other hand, spiritual intelligence mitigates the impact of role stress on auditor performance.
 Keywords: Psychological Well-Being; Stress; Auditor Performance; Spiritual Intelligence.

Impact of Coping Strategies on Nurses' Well-Being and Practice.

To examine the mechanisms of coping strategies on nurses' psychological well-being, practice environments and safety attitudes. A cross-sectional study design was used. Structural equation modeling was performed to analyze the results. Five hundred clinical nurses were randomly selected from a large group of 1,500 from a medical center with 1,350 beds in Taipei, Taiwan, from July to October 2015. Self-report questionnaires were administered to measure coping strategies (Brief COPE), psychological well-being (Ryff's Psychological Well-being Scale), nurses' practice environments (Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index), and safety attitudes (Safety Attitudes Questionnaire). Of the 500 participants who gave written consent, 474 (94.8%) filled out the questionnaire. Results showed that using more approach-oriented coping strategies and fewer avoidant coping strategies was associated with greater psychological well-being. Psychological well-being was directly associated with quality of nurses' practice environments and safety attitudes. The impact of psychological well-being on safety attitudes was mediated significantly by the quality of the practice environment. The use of approach-oriented coping strategies was significantly predictive of positive psychological well-being, a good practice environment, and good safety attitudes. This study found a distinct pathway for the relationships between clinical nurses' psychological well-being, practice environment, and safety attitudes. Psychological well-being in clinical nurses was higher for those with more approach-oriented coping strategies. Psychological well-being directly impacted safety attitudes, which mediated nurses' practice environments. The practical implications of the results suggest that interventions designed to promote positive psychological well-being may help improve nurses' practice environments, which, in turn, may result in better safety attitudes and nursing care outcomes.

Body Image and Quality of Life and Brace Wear Adherence in Females With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Background:Clinical evidence regarding the ability of braces to decrease the risk of curve progression to surgical threshold in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) continues to strengthen. Unfortunately, there is still a great deal of uncertainty regarding the impact of brace wear on psychosocial well-being or the impact of psychological well-being on brace wear adherence. The purpose of this study is to evaluate psychosocial well-being, in particular body image and quality of life (QOL), and brace wear adherence in female AIS patients undergoing brace treatment.Methods:The Bracing in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Trial (BrAIST) was a multicenter, controlled trial using randomized and preference assignments into an observation or brace treatment group. BrAIST patients were skeletally immature adolescents diagnosed with AIS having moderate curve sizes (20 to 40 degrees). Patients in the bracing group were instructed to wear a thoracolumbosacral orthosis, at least 18 h/d. Scores on the Spinal Appearance Questionnaire and the PedsQL4.0 Generic Scales from 167 female BrAIST patients who were randomized to brace treatment (n=58) and patients who chose brace treatment (n=109) were analyzed.Results:At baseline and at 12 months, no differences were found between the least-adherent brace wear group (<6 h/d) and most-adherent brace wear group (≥12 h/d) patients in terms of major curve, body image, and QOL. In the most-adherent group, poorer body image scores were significantly correlated with poorer QOL scores at baseline, at 6 months, and at 12 months but not at 18 months. In general, body image scores and QOL scores were not significantly correlated in the least-adherent group. When comparing patients that had a ≥6 degree increase of their major curve between baseline and 12 months to patients that did not, there were no significant differences in body image or QOL scores.Conclusions:For females adolescents with AIS, body image and QOL do not have a significant impact on brace wear adherence and are subsequently not significantly impacted by brace wear.Level of Evidence:Level II—therapeutic (prospective comparative study).

Eudaimonic well‐being and tumor norepinephrine in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer

The impact of psychological well-being on the physiologic processes involved in cancer progression remains unclear. Prior research has implicated adrenergic signaling in tumor growth and metastasis. Given that adrenergic signaling is influenced by both positive and negative factors, the authors examined how 2 different aspects of well-being (eudaimonic and positive affect) and psychological distress were associated with tumor norepinephrine (NE) in patients with ovarian cancer. A total of 365 women with suspected ovarian cancer completed psychosocial assessments before surgery and clinical information was obtained from medical records. Study inclusion was confirmed after histological diagnosis. Tumor NE was measured in frozen tissue samples using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to model eudaimonic well-being, positive affect, and psychological distress, and structural equation modeling was used to examine associations between these factors and tumor NE. Eudaimonic well-being, positive affect, and psychological distress, modeled as distinct but correlated constructs, best fit the data (ie, compared with unitary or 2-factor models) (root mean square error of approximation, 0.048; comparative fit index, 0.982; and standardized root-mean-squared residual, 0.035). Structural equation modeling analysis that included physical well-being, stage of disease, histology, psychological treatment history, beta-blocker use, and caffeine use as covariates was found to have good model fit (root mean square error of approximation, 0.052; comparative fit index, 0.955; and standardized root-mean-squared residual, 0.036) and demonstrated that eudaimonic well-being was related to lower tumor NE (β = -.24 [P = .045]). In contrast, no effects were found for positive affect or psychological distress. Eudaimonic well-being was found to be associated with lower tumor NE, independent of positive affect and psychological distress. Because adrenergic signaling is implicated in tumor progression, increasing eudaimonic well-being may improve both psychological and physiologic resilience in patients with ovarian cancer.

Impact of Psychological Well-Being on the Vocabulary Acquisition Level of Nigerian Adolescents Learning French Language in Rural Settings

There is now clearer recognition that, in a country as culturally and linguistically diverse as Nigeria, specific attention must be paid to the mental readiness of learners especially in acquiring language different from their first language or lingua franca such as French language. Vocabulary acquisition is part of the psychology of foreign language learning that has received short shrift from applied linguistics, and has been very largely neglected by recent developments in research. This study therefore examined the impact of psychological well-being on the vocabulary acquisition level of Nigerian adolescents learning French language in rural settings. Survey research design was adopted in this study. Sixty eight students from fourteen secondary schools were randomly selected for this study with age range 15 to 18 years. They were made up of 38 males representing 52.9% and 30 females representing 47.1%. Out of this sample 42% were in SS1, 36% in SS2 and 22% in SS3. All these students had French language as one of subjects they were taking in school. These schools were located in rural areas in Ogun and Oyo states, Southwest Nigeria. A questionnaire was developed to measure students’ psychological well being while cloze test was used to measure vocabulary acquisition level. The two instruments yielded 0.78, and 0.76 test-retest reliability respectively with 0, 64 Cronbach Alpha for Psychological well being measure and 0.66 for cloze test. The findings revealed low level of performance in the five subscales of Psychological Well being Measure, self-acceptance, quality ties to other, autonomy in thought and action, the ability to manage complex environments to suit personal needs and values, the pursuit of meaningful goals and a sense of purpose in life and continued growth and development as a person. The study equally reported low level of vocabulary acquisition of French language across all the levels. A significant impact of psychological wellbeing on the vocabulary acquisition of French language was found at r=0.62, adj r 2 =0.59 and f (1,66) = 48.26, p<0.05. It was concluded that improved psychological wellbeing will definitely leads to high level of vocabulary acquisition of French language among students even in rural areas. It was recommended that health-promoting factors for maintaining good health should be strengthened in learners for positive learning outcomes.

Investigating the Structural Validity of Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scales Across Two Samples

Ryff’s (1989b) Psychological Well-Being (PWB) scales measure six related constructs of human functioning. The present paper examined the validity of Ryff’s 6-factor PWB model, using data from a life events study (N = 401) and an organisational climate study (N = 679). Previous validation studies, using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), have identified alternative PWB models, but limitations include the use of shorter scale versions with items relating to a number of life domains within the same PWB factor, and failure to examine the influence of participants’ socio-demographic characteristics on PWB. In this study, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) mostly found consistency in the PWB items and structure between the two studies whereby a 3-factor model delineated between items relating to Autonomy, Positive Relations and a super-ordinate factor comprising the other PWB factors. Using CFA, Goodness of Fit indices reached acceptable levels for the adjusted PWB model identified by the EFA, whilst differences between adjusted models of PWB previously identified in the literature were hardly evident. Post-hoc analysis by gender demonstrated socio-demographic effects on the structure and items that comprise PWB. Further development of PWB measures is needed to reflect its hierarchical and multi-dimensional nature. In the scales’ current form, the construct validation of the PWB factors will continue to be problematic and will fail to adequately evaluate the nature and impact of PWB.

The importance of assessing psychological status during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period as a multidimensional construct: A literature review

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature surrounding women’s psychological health in pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal periods. The content will provide clinically useful information to midwives and health care professionals involved in caring for women during the antenatal, intranatal and postnatal periods. The impact of psychological health status in pregnancy on clinical outcomes such as preterm labour, pre-eclampsia, epidural use, caesarean section, instrumental deliveries and increased rates of admission to neonatal intensive care, alongside the cognitive and social development of the infant and child are well documented. Less research to date has considered the impact of psychological well-being on the mother throughout pregnancy, the peripartum, postpartum and beyond. Psychological status for these women has traditionally been characterised by anxiety and depression, largely ignoring the complex psychological interrelations that characterise pregnancy. Psychological status in pregnancy cannot be defined within a unidimensional framework but must include a comprehensive assessment of all the dimensions that attribute to mood and emotional status for women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period. This paper intends to address the constructs of anxiety and depression, worry, control, quality of life, sleep and self-esteem. Screening for, and identification of, maternal psychological distress from a multidimensional perspective enables healthcare professionals to recognise and acknowledge normal and abnormal adjustment and offer interventions, strategies and support to facilitate a woman’s transition to motherhood.
