Exploring the moderating effects of perceived alternative job opportunities and work experience on the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions: A study among educators in Lebanon

Turnover is a common occurrence where employees choose to leave an organization. Despite previous research on turnover intentions and job satisfaction, the impact of work experience and perceived alternative job opportunities, especially during economic crises, has not been adequately studied. This study aims to explore the relationship between turnover intentions and job satisfaction, considering factors of work experience and perceptions of other job opportunities. This study was conducted in Lebanon, and 156 educators were surveyed via electronic questionnaires. The data analysis included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression modeling. The findings reveal a significant negative correlation between turnover intention and job satisfaction (r = –0.315*, p < 0.05). Perceived alternative job opportunities do not show a significant correlation with job satisfaction (ß = –0.028, p > 0.05), thus having no moderating role. However, work experience significantly moderates the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions (ß = –0.052*, p < 0.05). Despite the negative impact on job satisfaction, Lebanon’s economic crisis affects teachers’ decision to stay due to limited job opportunities. AcknowledgmentThe authors sincerely appreciate all the teachers who devoted their time to participate in the survey.

The Impact of Work Experience on Entrepreneurial Intention among Vocational Education Students

One entrepreneurship-related subject that has produced a lot of research is the investigation of entrepreneurial intention (EI). This study aims to investigate the impact of students' work experience across the four categories (SN, ES, ATE, and EE). The methodology employed in this study is quantitative, using a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. The participants were assigned to multidisciplinary workgroups comprising six to eight individuals with backgrounds in management and engineering. There were five-course iterations between the 2021–2022 academic years. There were 250 students registered for this course. This research supports the belief that instruction in entrepreneurship can improve one's abilities in this area, even if it does not necessarily result in immediate action. This study highlights the importance of entrepreneurial education in increasing entrepreneurial intention among students. Additionally, students' belief in their abilities to become entrepreneurs, based on factors such as technical skills, social skills, and risk-taking abilities, is not affected by prior work experience. The study recognises that students' career experience is essential in understanding the significance of entrepreneurial education in fostering entrepreneurial intention.

Impact of Work Experience on the Level of Awareness of Construction Workers on Using Personal Protective Equipment

This study determined the level of awareness of the construction workers in the province of Northern Samar on using the personal protective equipment as well the relationship between the level of awareness and the length of construction experience and support of the company management on safety aspect of the construction workers.
 The construction workers’ ages are of ranges from below 18 to above 60 years old. Majority is of ages from 18 to 30 years old (46%), next is of ages 31 to 40 years of age (30%), then 41 to 50 years old (14%), then below 18 years old (9%) and last is of ages above 60 years old (1%). All respondents are male and mostly, are married (61%). Some are single (38%) and widow (1%). The construction workers experienced as foreman (9%), as Leadman (2%), skilled (31%), semi-skilled (16%) and mostly as Labor (42%).
 By Spearman’s Rho correlation the relationship of the length of experience and so with the company’s safety management and the level of awareness on using PPE are determined. The identified variables are highly correlated with the level of awareness on using PPE. Based on the analysis, these construction workers are moderately aware on account of their work experiences.

ANTICIPATORY ABILITY OF COACHES IN THE SYSTEM OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE EVALUATION BY ATHLETES

Current research in psychology and psychophysiology focuses on the subject of anticipation and forecasting. Anticipatory sustainability is a personal trait that determines the ability to anticipate events and possible ways of personal development, as well as the ability to prevent interpersonal conflicts. The aim of the study was to identify the role of development level of anticipatory competence of coaches in their professional competence evaluation and perception by athletes. Research methods and organization. The research involved two groups of test subjects. The experimental group consisted of sport dance coaches and their students. The control group brought together experts in socionomic area with different work experience. We used testing and questionnaire methods to achieve the goal and objectives of the study. Testing method included the test for diagnosing anticipatory sustainability according to A. Mendelevich and the test of socio-perceptual coaching evaluation by athletes. We used the results of testing and questionnaires to provide a comparative and correlation analysis of data. Research results. The analysis of test results revealed the impact of work experience on the development of both spatial and temporal characteristics of the anticipation of coaches, indicating a possible effect on the intensity and direction of development of those characteristics in specific conditions. We have identified valid connections between the gnostic parameter (professional competence evaluation) of the socio-perceptual coaching evaluation by athletes and spatiotemporal characteristics of coaches' anticipation, defined as professionally important qualities of coaches. Moreover, we have demonstrated a weak direct relationship between the personality-situational component of the anticipatory sustainability of coaches and the emotional parameter of their socio-perceptual evaluation by athletes, indicating a significant role of communicative-anticipation sustainability in the development of an attitude of athletes to the coach. Conclusion. In summary, we can conclude that the anticipatory sustainability of coaches plays a key role in the structure of their competence, and the development of this property is possible under certain conditions.

Zadovoljstvo študentov zdravstvene nege s problemskim učenjem

Uvod: Problemsko učenje predstavlja premik v izobraževalni paradigmi, saj predstavlja na posameznika usmerjeno učenje, ki spodbuja razvijanje samostojnosti, znanj, spretnosti in lastnosti, potrebnih za delovanje v zdravstveni negi. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti zadovoljstvo študentov rednega in izrednega študija zdravstvene nege s problemskim učenjem. Metode: Uporabljeno je bilo kvantitativno neeksperimentalno raziskovanje, podatki so bili zbrani s tehniko anketiranja. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 196 študentov zdravstvene nege. Za obdelavo podatkov je bila uporabljena deskriptivna statistika, t-test in korelacijska analiza. Statistično značilnost smo preverjali na ravni 5% tveganja. Rezultati: Povprečne ocene vseh trditev, ki so se nanašale na zadovoljstvo študentov s problemskim učenjem, so bile zelo visoke (> 4 od 5). Glede na način študija zdravstvene nege (t = –0,818, p = 0,414) in spol (t = –0,002, p = 0,998) ne prihaja do razlik v oceni glede zadovoljstva s problemskim učenjem, vendar se je pokazal pozitiven vpliv delovnih izkušenj pri študentih izrednega študija, zaposlenih v zdravstvu. Ugotovljena je bila povezanost med starostjo študentov in zadovoljstvom s problemskim učenjem (r = 0,198, p = 0,006). Diskusija in zaključek: Raziskava pokaže, da problemsko učenje pri študentih zdravstvene nege izboljšuje motivacijo za delo ter spodbuja tako samostojen študij kot delo v skupinah. Nadaljnje raziskave bi bilo potrebno usmeriti na problemsko učenje v klinični praksi in aplikacijo teoretičnih znanj v klinično okolje.

Impact of work experiences on perceived organizational support: a study among healthcare professionals

In the competitive and globalized scenario, organizations are interested in enhancing employee---organization relationship. Perceived organizational support is one way to understand employee---organization relationship. This study examines the impact of various work-related experiences of healthcare professionals on perceived organizational support. The work experience comprises employees' experience with i) formal support through human resource practices and facility in the workplace and ii) informal social support from supervisors and coworkers in the workplace. A survey is conducted among healthcare professionals including medical officers and staff nurses working in primary health centers in the state of Tamil Nadu. The results of the study proved the positive impact of human resource practices (such as pay and rewards, and job autonomy), social support (such as supervisor support and coworker support), and health facility on perceived organizational support. The career growth opportunities showed a negative impact on perceived organizational support. The supervisor support and coworker support showed higher influence on perceived organizational support than human resource practices and health facility. The study has contributed to the literature on human resource practices and perceived organizational support. The results of the study have provided inputs on how to enhance perceived organizational support of healthcare professionals and about healthcare professionals' perception of human resource practices that could be incorporated while making policies related to public health.

The impact of work experience of small and medium-sized enterprises owners or managers on their competitive intelligence awareness and practices

Background: Information technology has assisted in globalisation, which then assisted in making international trade easier. Consequently, businesses no longer compete with local competitors only but also with international ones, leading to intense competition in all business sectors. Businesses will hardly practice what they are not aware of and therefore needs to know about their competitive landscape. Competitive intelligence (CI) gathers information from both the internal and external business environments, and analyses these for use by decision makers. Whilst awareness of the importance of CI is wide, it is not practiced optimally, making the need for creating awareness of the benefits of CI important.Objectives: The objective of this research was to establish the influence of owners’ and managers' working experience of CI practice and awareness in the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) environment.Method: This research was quantitative in nature and a questionnaire was used to collect data from SMEs owners and managers in The City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality.Results: This research indicates that SMEs in the study are aware of CI through education and training. Moreover, the study reveals that the working experience of owners and managers has a great influence on awareness and practice of CI and one should implement training programmes in this domain to assist with building competitive advantage.Conclusion: Small and medium-sized enterprises owners or managers’ years of working experience has a greater influence on awareness and practice of CI. Put differently, years of working experience is a great predictor of CI awareness and practice.

Personal Characteristics of Indian Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs

The present study examined the psychological characteristics of the entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in terms of six variables, namely, achievement orientation, innovativeness, internal locus of control, risk-taking propensity, proactiveness and self-efficacy, and such an examination was also done with reference to the following five demographic features: gender, education level, family background, work experience and age range of the entrepreneurs/intrapreneurs. The study was carried out with sample survey of 134 entrepreneurs (owner–managers) and 116 intrapreneurs (corporate managers) belonging to various service provider enterprises of India. All the psychological characteristics (except ‘risk-taking propensity’) were found as moderately positive in case of both male and female entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs without significant variation. The risk-taking propensity was perceived as ‘less positive’ by the entrepreneurs and it was found to be significantly higher for female intrapreneurs as compared to that of male intrapreneurs. The entrepreneurs belonging to business family background were found significantly better than the entrepreneurs belonging to rest of the backgrounds (namely, farming, service in private company and service in public/government organization) with regard to the characteristics like achievement orientation, innovativeness, internal locus of control and risk-taking propensity. In the matter of ‘risk-taking propensity’ of intrapreneurs, those from private sector service families were found to be better than intrapreneurs from farming and business families. In the matter of ‘self-efficacy’, intrapreneurs belonging to private service background were found to be better than intrapreneurs belonging to background of public/government service. Post-graduate entrepreneurs were found to be better in achievement orientation than others; non-graduate entrepreneurs were found more proactive than others; and non-graduates were found more innovative than post-graduates. Post-graduate intrapreneurs were found better in risk-taking propensity than graduates, as well as they were found better in achievement orientation than non-graduates; whereas self-efficacy of non-graduates was found better than that of graduates and non-graduates. Comparatively, younger entrepreneurs were found more proactive than others; and those in their middle ages were found to have high locus of control and risk-taking propensity than others. Middle-aged intrapreneurs were found comparatively better in internal locus of control than those who were relatively younger and relatively elder. All those who were elder (40 years and above) were found to be more proactive than those who were relatively younger. Those who were younger (for example, 25–30 years) were found to have less achievement orientation than rest of the intrapreneurs. There is no significant impact of work experience of the entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs found on their psychological characteristics (except on the proactiveness of the intrapreneurs). Age, gender and family background were found as important predictors in discriminating between the two groups of entrepreneurs—one with low level and other with moderate level of such characteristics. But, in case of intrapreneurs, the discriminant analysis has shown dissimilar results. The results of the study do not match fully with the findings of earlier research, and hence the research on personal characteristics of the entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs appeared to be inconclusive.

Gender Differences in the Transition to Adulthood in France: Is There Convergence Over the Recent Period?

Numerous studies have shown that educational attainment and labour force status have a strong impact on the timing of family formation for both men and women. The effects of educational level, school enrolment and employment seem to be different for men and women. The aim of this article is to investigate how gender-specific differences in family formation have changed over time, and more particularly, whether these differences have disappeared in recent years. We use a large-scale survey (more than 240,000 men and women born after 1940) conducted within the French 1999 census and apply event history techniques. The sample size allows us to test our hypotheses with more sophisticated models that cover several interactions. Our data fully support the convergence hypothesis for men and women with regard to the effects of educational attainment and working status (working/not working). However, it is only partly relevant for the effects of their school enrolment status on entry into first union and parenthood. For both men and women, the impact of work experience on first union disappears over time, but remains important for first parenthood.

Improving Consistency for DIT Results Using Cluster Analysis

In this article, cluster analysis is used to explore the conflicting results reported when the Defining Issues Test is used to explain moral reasoning ability in business situations. Using a convenience sample, gender, age, work experience, and ethics training were examined to determine their impact on the level of moral reasoning ability as measured by the Defining Issues Test. Using the whole sample, a significant difference was found for average P scores reported for males and females, but no significant differences were found based on age, work experience, and ethics training. However, the sample fell into distinct clusters that identified distinct male and female groupings. While females naturally fell into two distinct high- and low-moral reasoning ability clusters, male clusters were dominated more by work experience and ethics training. Clearly there are other factors mitigating the level of moral reasoning ability for males which require further exploration. The findings suggest that while the P score provides an initial point of comparison, the real benefit to the test is in exploring what is different for males and females in terms of training needs, and the impact of work experience on the moral reasoning ability, and most importantly, how to make ethics training enticing. Recommendations for future research are also discussed.

The role of overload on job attitudes, turnover intentions, and salesperson performance

Considerable anecdotal evidence has been amassed in recent years regarding the pervasiveness of role overload — the degree to which persons are overtaxed cognitively as a result of being under time pressure and having too many commitments and responsibilities. Salespeople would be expected to exhibit some degree of role overload, because of the oftentimes high-pressure nature of their jobs. However, it is noteworthy that role overload has displayed inconsistent relationships with many job attitudes, turnover intentions, and performance measures in studies of salespeople. Work experience could explain the inconsistent findings, because experienced salespeople should cope better with feelings of role overload. Drawing from the career stages literature, we examine the direct influence of role overload on traditional job attitudes, turnover intentions, salesperson performance, and the impact of work experience on these relationships. Managerial implications and future research directions are discussed.

Knotted strands: Working lives of Indian women migrants in New Zealand

While the burgeoning field of ethnic identity has been fuelled by the changing demographics of nations, such scholarship has given more concentration to general life contexts with much quantitative research done in America and Europe, and more recently in Australia. In this context the Indian Diaspora and ethnic identity have been studied, but there is a dearth of research on ethnic identity and Indians in New Zealand. This article draws on evidence from qualitative interviews with ethnic minority Indian women in New Zealand to illustrate ethnic identity negotiation. Three strands of experience were explored: 1) entry into the world of work; 2) staying in the world of work; and 3) the impact of work experiences on ethnic identity. The evidence indicates the difficulties encountered in entering the workforce and in sustaining work, creating knotted strands in the lives of the women. It seems to take approximately two years to start integrating experiences and coming to terms with life in the new country as minority ethnic women. The implications of such knotted strands in ethnic identity are discussed and situated in the wider context of policy development and diversity management that encourages and creates relevant and timely work for ethnic minority migrants.

Impact of Work Experiences on Attitudes Toward Sexual Harassment

The data used in the research reported here were collected with the support of a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) grant USPHS-MH-32606-01 to the second author. The authors gratefully acknowl.edge the assistance of Dale Berger, Pamela Cooper, and Allan Wicker in the preparation of this manuscript. We would also like to thank Gerald R. Salancik, Associate Editor of Administrative Science Quarterly, and the three anonymous ASQ reviewers for the contributions they made through the publication review process. The EEOC guidelines on sexual harassment place a great deal of importance on the recipient's evaluation of his or her experience. Research has consistently shown that women, more than men, consider sexual behavior at work to be sexual harassment. In this study, three theories are proposed to account for individuals' perceptions of sexual harassment. The first is that there is a basic difference between men and women in personal orientation toward sexual harassment and how they define it; the second is that differential sexual experiences at work account for differences in perceptions; and the third is that differences in perceptions are accounted for by gender-role spillover that is, when a job comes to be seen as primarily a man's or a woman's job the gender role spills over into the work role. Analysis of data from a representative sample of 1,232 working men and women in Los Angeles County showed some support for all three theories. The complementary contributions of the three theories and their implications for organizational behavior are discussed.*

Jumping off the work experience bandwagon

This paper summarizes and reviews the literature on the impact of work experience during the adolescent years. Research in three areas is reviewed: work experience through career education programs; work experience through youth employment and training programs; and work experience through part-time employment. In general, the findings in all three areas indicate that the benefits of working to education, socialization, and subsequent employment have been greatly overestimated.
