Profiles of attitudes toward inclusive education among Chinese in-service teachers: their relationships with demographic factors and organizational commitment

IntroductionThe increased diversity of students (e.g., students with special educational needs) has presented teachers with unprecedented challenges. Teachers’ attitudes toward inclusive education play a crucial role in teachers’ organizational well-being. However, existing studies mostly explored attitudes toward inclusive education based on a variable-centered approach. This study used a person-centered approach to identify teachers’ attitude profile membership and explored the relationships of attitude profiles with demographic factors (i.e., gender, years of teaching experience, subject taught, and in-service training) and organizational commitment.MethodsNine hundred and seventy-two in-service teachers from forty-nine inclusive education schools in Beijing responded to the Revised Multidimensional Attitudes toward Inclusive Education Scale and the Organizational Commitment Inventory. Latent profile analyses, multinomial logistic regression, and univariate analysis of variance were used to analyze data.Results and discussionThe results revealed four attitude profiles: involuntary participation, behavior avoidance, neutral, and proactive involvement. Years of teaching experience and in-service training were significant predictors of teachers’ latent profile membership. Teachers belonging to the involuntary participation profile showed the highest levels of maladaptive commitments to inclusive education schools. Teachers belonging to the proactive involvement and the behavior avoidance profiles showed higher levels of adaptive commitments. However, teachers belonging to the neutral profile had the lowest levels of adaptive commitments. The theoretical contributions, practical implications, and limitations are discussed.

The Quantitative Relationship Between HRM Practices and Academic Performance in Saudi Public Universities

Objective: This study aims to explore the impact of organizational factors, including employee engagement, selection procedures, training, and work-life balance policies, on academic performance in Saudi Public Universities. It further investigates the mediating role of employee commitment in these relationships. Method: A quantitative methodology was employed, gathering data from 103 academic employees across various Saudi Public Universities through a structured questionnaire. The data was subsequently analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS software to assess the direct and mediating effects of the organizational factors on academic performance. Research Findings and Discussions: The analysis revealed significant direct effects of employee engagement and training on academic performance. Employee engagement also significantly influenced employee commitment. However, employee commitment did not demonstrate a significant mediating effect in the relationship between organizational practices and academic performance. These findings highlight the critical roles of employee engagement and training in enhancing academic outcomes within the context of Saudi Public Universities. Research Implications: The study underscores the importance of focusing on employee engagement and training as key drivers of academic performance. The lack of significant mediation by employee commitment suggests that the direct effects of organizational practices on academic performance are more pronounced and may not necessarily rely on enhanced commitment levels. These insights are crucial for university administrators aiming to optimize organizational strategies for improved academic results. Originality/Value: This research contributes to the existing literature by delineating the direct influences of specific organizational factors on academic performance, particularly within the unique setting of Saudi Public Universities. It challenges the assumed pivotal mediating role of employee commitment, offering a new perspective on optimizing organizational practices for academic enhancement in this region.

A Qualitative Analysis of the Impact of Preoperative Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction on Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgical Experiences

We qualitatively explored the impact of preoperative mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on total knee arthroplasty (TKA) experiences. Participants (n=10) who received MBSR prior to TKA participated in semi-structured interviews concerning their experiences with MBSR and its perceived impact on surgery. We analyzed interviews according to reflexive thematic analysis, and coded data into three main themes: 1) Impact of MBSR on surgery experiences; 2) Contributors to change; and 3) Motivations for participation. Participants noted they were able to relax, feel more confident, and cope more effectively during the preoperative period, and that others in their lives noticed positive changes following their participation in MBSR. Participants’ openness to mindfulness and health-related beliefs and may have contributed to the positive impacts they experienced from MBSR. Participants described being motivated to participate in MBSR to help them prepare for their surgery and to learn new coping strategies. Participants described a strong level of commitment to the intervention. With further research, integration of MBSR into prehabilitation for TKA may be appropriate.

Audience segmentation approach to conservation messaging for transforming the exotic pet trade.

Advancing transformative change for sustainability requires population-wide behavior change. Yet, many behavioral interventions tackling environmental problems only examine average effects on the aggregate, overlooking the heterogeneous effects in a population. We developed and preregistered a novel audience segmentation approach to test the diverse impact of conservation messaging on reducing demand for exotic pets (private action - i.e., desire to own exotic pets or visit wildlife entertainment places) and fostering citizen engagement for system-wide change (civic action - e.g., signing a petition or participating in a protest against the exotic pet trade). Through an online survey with US participants (n=2953), we identified 4 population segments (early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards), representing varying levels of commitment to wildlife conservation and then randomly assigned each segment to one of 3 messaging conditions. Messages highlighting negative consequences of the exotic pet trade and the power of collective action for system change effectively promoted private action among all segments except early adopters (ηp 2=0.005). Among civic actions, only the collective action message motivated early adopters and the early majority to sign petitions (φC=0.193 and φC=0.097, respectively). Furthermore, the 4 segments showed distinct reasoning for action and inaction on wildlife conservation, with certain relational values, such as care, serving as both motivations and barriers to action. These findings highlight the need for targeted behavioral interventions across diverse populations.

Investigating the impact of employee empowerment and autonomy on job satisfaction and organizational commitment Shubhangi Roy

The potential of employee empowerment and autonomy to improve job satisfaction and organizational commitment has drawn attention from scholars and practitioners alike, leading to a focus on these topics in current organizational management literature. To methodically investigate the relationship between employee empowerment, autonomy, work happiness, and organizational commitment, this meta-analysis synthesizes findings from previous empirical investigations. This study aims to offer insights into the degree to which giving employees autonomy and empowerment affects their job satisfaction and commitment to the company through an extensive analysis of pertinent literature.The meta-analysis incorporates a broad spectrum of research that spans different industries, organizational sizes, and geographic regions. With the use of rigorous statistical methods such as moderator analyses and effect size calculations, this study seeks to clarify the complex dynamics that underlie the relationship between work satisfaction, employee autonomy, empowerment, and organizational commitment. To further understand their influence on the observed connections, potential modifiers including personality differences, leadership styles, and corporate culture will be investigated. It is anticipated that the results of this meta-analysis will have significant ramifications for theory and practice. This research aims to provide a thorough knowledge of the mechanisms via which employee autonomy and empowerment affect work satisfaction and organizational commitment by synthesizing empirical evidence from several studies. These perceptions have the potential to promote employee well-being and organizational effectiveness by informing management strategies and policies that strive to develop a more dedicated and engaged workforce. The results indicate that a substantial correlation exists between increased levels of job satisfaction and organizational commitment and employee empowerment, which is defined as the transfer of authority, discretion in decision-making, and access to resources. Similarly, autonomy—that is, giving workers the freedom and flexibility to carry out duties and make decisions—correlates favourably with organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Moreover, the examination pinpoints mediating factors including job engagement, psychological empowerment, and perceived control that elucidate the connections between employee outcomes, autonomy, and empowerment. The significance of cultivating a culture of trust, communication, and support for employee empowerment initiatives is one of the implications for organizational practice. Supervisors must acknowledge the significance of autonomy in augmenting worker motivation, contentment, and dedication, while simultaneously taking into account the situational elements that impact the efficacy of employee empowerment tactics. upcoming
