Examining the Effect of Ethical Awareness on the Relationship between Political Skill and Subjective Career Success

This study examined the relationship of political skills of high school teachers to their subjective career success and the moderating role of ethical awareness in this relationship. The findings demonstrated that the participants' ethical awareness and political skill scores were relatively higher than career and life satisfaction scores. Career and life satisfaction were found to increase with professional experience. Despite being a significant predictor of career satisfaction, ethical awareness had no significant effect on life satisfaction. That said, political skill was a significant predictor of both career satisfaction and life satisfaction. Moreover, ethical awareness did not moderate the effect of political skill on career and life satisfaction. Based on these findings, implementing formal methods such as the use of vision and mission statements and in-school guidelines to make the ethical provisions mentioned in the legal regulations visible in the school environment, and school administrators’ creating an ethical working climate through implementing the ethical rules fairly for all teachers and students were recommended.

Increasing the Talent of High School Students through Islamic Counseling Guidance

Students, especially high school students, will always be faced with several choices, both related to personal, social, study, career, and talent lives. They often have difficulty making decisions in determining which options to choose. One of them is the difficulty in understanding oneself related to his talent and the talent plans that will be selected for his future. Difficulties in making decisions when choosing talents can be avoided if students have a sufficient amount of information about matters relating to the world of their talents. Therefore they need to get development in their talent. This research uses the literature study method. The results of this study indicate that full Islamic guidance and counseling is needed as an effort to obtain an adequate understanding of various conditions and characteristics of himself, as a 'servant of Allah' who chooses nature (potential) both about talents, interests, ideas, various strengths and weaknesses. that is in him so as not to be wrong in developing his talents in accordance with Islamic guidance (Al-Qur'an and Hadith).

Perverse Fluidity?—Differential Impacts of Family Resources on Educational and Occupational Attainment for Young Adults from White and Ethnic Minority Heritages in England

This study examines the intergenerational transmission of family resources (class, education and income) on people’s educational and occupational attainment in their early career life. It asks whether parental resources remain effective or fall into insignificance. It also asks whether the resources operate in a similar way for the ethnic minorities as for the majority. Drawing on data from the Longitudinal Study of Young Persons in England, the study focuses on resource transmission in degree attainment, access to elite class position, unemployment rates, labour market earnings, and continuous income. In each aspect, we test not only the net effects of parental resources, but also the differential transmission between the majority and ethnic minority groups. The analysis shows strong effects of parental resources on educational and occupational attainment for whites but rather weak effects for the ethnic minorities. Ethnic minority children tend to grow up in poor families, yet even those whose parents manage to achieve socio-economic parity with whites do not enjoy similar benefits. Reducing inequality in family socio-economic conditions and inequality in labour market opportunities is key to achieving social justice.

The Burnout among Mathematics Teachers in Middle schools in Saudi Arabia

Teaching is a difficult profession that sometimes leads to the burnout of teachers, and is a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. There are symptoms of burnout that can impact learners and teachers' behaviour and psychology to enhanced turnover, affecting learners and schools. Teacher burnout is regarded to be one of the most psychological issues that can gradually exhaust teachers. Teachers burnout can influence teaching objectives and educational environment, which make practitioners experience an indifference that can lead to health issues, absence of work, and the intention to leave the profession. Within the professional field, teachers reported higher burnout rates when compared to other occupations (Fisher, 2011). Several studies concluded that the occupational environment had a distinct correlation to an individual’s behaviours. Teacher’s perceptions of the work environment affected their physical and emotional well-being (Baran, 2012; Fernet et al. 2012; Lavian, 2012; Ortner, 2012). The multidimensional role of the teacher has been the focus of numerous studies. Teachers tend to have many roles including mentor, counselor, parent and disciplinarian. These extra roles, which go hand in hand with teaching, have displayed negative consequences including taking the focus off of teaching (Fernet, 2012; Skaalvik & Skaalvik, 2009) thereby, affecting a teacher’s personal self-efficacy. Many studies show rising rates of employee turnover, absence, and sick leave of teachers at different instructional levels in latest decades, combined with a growing incidence of mental health issues influencing teachers (Carlotto & Palazzo, 2006). Researchers have tried to define factors that could be related to burnout syndrome (Gasparini et al., 2005; Yaegashi et al., 2009). As per the essence of a teacher's job and the environment in which these practitioners work, there are a variety of stressors that, if constant, may contribute to burn-out syndrome, undermining the career, social and emotional life of the teacher. The concept of burnout connected with life dissatisfaction and workplace depression (Hakanen & Ahola, 2012; Schaufeli & Hakanen, 2012; Biron & Toker, 2012) as the reason for the disability of workers raises important issues for practitioners, which have extensive implications for employees (including teachers), clients, employers and insurance providers (Hall et al., & Connor, 2016). There is a need for a better understanding of the risk factors, the protective factors against the development of burnout, and the different underlying mechanisms. Many researches mentioned that there are many issues could lead to burnout among mathematics teachers in Saudi Arabia, such as curriculum, students, teachers, supervisors, and administrative problems (Ali & Abdulhakim, 2013; Naser, 2010; Alrasi & Noor 2014). This study tries to understand the main sources that cause burnout of mathematics teachers using qualitative method.

A moderated mediation model of implicit theories of intelligence and life satisfaction among Chinese adolescents

Although life satisfaction is critical for adolescents’ emotional, social, and educational functioning and positive development, social cognitive roles in adolescents’ life satisfaction and potential underlying processes are less known. The present study aimed to explore the effect of implicit theories of intelligence on adolescent life satisfaction and their potential mechanisms. A moderated mediation model was constructed to investigate the mediating role of career exploration and the moderating role of career-specific parental support. Data were collected from 443 10th grade high-school students in Sichuan, China. Results revealed that career exploration fully mediated the positive relationship between implicit theories of intelligence and life satisfaction, while career-specific parental support moderated the relationship between career exploration and life satisfaction. These findings highlight the value of exploring social-cognition and career-related factors in life satisfaction.

Development and Validation of The Life-Career Adaptability Scale of employees

The purpose of this research is to develop and validate the life-career adaptability scale of modern employees who have to cope with rapid changes in the working environment due to the 4th Industrial Revolution and the Pandemic Era. Research 1, an open-ended questionnaire was conducted to 117 employees who were uniformly sampled by gender, age group, and company size, and the scale was developed with 100 items of 13 factors. Research 2, a preliminary survey was conducted on 321 employees using the scale. The result of exploratory factor analysis(EFA), 79 items of 10 factors were extracted. Research 3, the data of 723 employees were divided into two groups to verify the validity of the compositional concept of the Life-Career Adaptability. In order to examine whether the scale and its sub-factors properly assess the degree of life-career adaptability of employees, Group 1 conducted an EFA, Group 2 conducted a confirmatory factor analysis(CFA). Result of the EFA, 40 items of 7 factors were extracted. Seven factors consist of Industrial Environment Change Awareness, Work Environment Change Awareness, Life-Career Plan, Future Career Exploration, Future Career Preparation, Current Career Adapting and Networking. CFA using structural equation modeling, turned out that it met the modeling fit criteria. These life-career adaptability factors were high rate of positive correlation with the Career Management Behavior, supporting convergence validity, and were significantly related to criteria such as Life Satisfaction, Hope, Adaptive Performance, and Career Commitment, confirming criterion-related validity of the scale. Finally, implications, limitations, and directions for future research discussed.

Intelligent career planning via stochastic subsampling reinforcement learning

Career planning consists of a series of decisions that will significantly impact one’s life. However, current recommendation systems have serious limitations, including the lack of effective artificial intelligence algorithms for long-term career planning, and the lack of efficient reinforcement learning (RL) methods for dynamic systems. To improve the long-term recommendation, this work proposes an intelligent sequential career planning system featuring a career path rating mechanism and a new RL method coined as the stochastic subsampling reinforcement learning (SSRL) framework. After proving the effectiveness of this new recommendation system theoretically, we evaluate it computationally by gauging it against several benchmarks under different scenarios representing different user preferences in career planning. Numerical results have demonstrated that our system is superior to other benchmarks in locating promising optimal career paths for users in long-term planning. Case studies have further revealed that our SSRL career path recommendation system would encourage people to gradually improve their career paths to maximize long-term benefits. Moreover, we have shown that the initial state (i.e., the first job) can have a significant impact, positively or negatively, on one’s career, while in the long-term view, a carefully planned career path following our recommendation system may mitigate the negative impact of a lackluster beginning in one’s career life.

Meniscus tears in professional soccer athletes: resect or repair?

IntroductionMeniscal tears in professional soccer players, may lead to decreased game time and potentially affect their career and quality of life in the long term. Advancements in surgical techniques and increased duration of many elite soccer players’ career may necessitate re-evaluation of the treatment strategies. ObjectivesTo review the current literature regarding surgical management of meniscal tears in professional soccer players. MethodsA comprehensive search of PubMed has been conducted. Studies in English, reporting results of surgical management of meniscal tears or meniscal deficiency in professional soccer players were included. Studies not mentioning return to play (RTP), not examining professional soccer players or not published in English were excluded. ResultsFollowing meniscus repair, an 82% to 90% RTP is reported. Mean time to RTP has been reported from 4.3 to 5.5 months. The outcomes of a single study reporting partial meniscectomy results in professional soccer athletes were 100% RTP at a mean of 1.5 months. Successful results with RTP 92.3 to 100% after salvage procedures such as meniscal allograft transplantation or collagen meniscal implant has been reported, Mean time to RTP stood at 10 to 11.8 months. In addition, knee osteoarthritis is more common after lateral meniscectomy in comparison to medial meniscectomy in the long-term follow-up. ConclusionSurgical management of meniscal lesions in professional soccer players is the mainstay of treatment. Partial meniscectomy may offer temporary relief and fast RTP. Meniscal repair requires a longer rehabilitation period but may have a chondroprotective effect on the knee. Explicit player consultation and individualized approach may lead to optimal outcomes.

ANALISIS TERHADAP TRAIT AND FACTOR THEORY DAN IMPLIKASINYA DALAM LAYANAN BIMBINGAN KARIR

Everyone dreams of a brilliant career in life. But in reality, in planning and determining a career, there are many problems, especially for teenagers who will enter adulthood, namely high school students. Many students have difficulty deciding which major, study program or job to choose after graduation. To overcome this, the role of BK teachers as counselors in schools is needed to carry out career guidance. Career guidance is a counseling service needed by individuals or students to help develop their potential and find their identity as well as plan and determine their careers. Career guidance can be carried out using a trait and factor theory approach, which is a counseling method that focuses on identifying individual/student traits or characters so that students can find their identity and do not hesitate in planning and choosing their careers. From several studies that have been carried out, it is proven that career guidance with a trait and factor approach is effective in helping reduce student doubts about career termination as well as improving students' understanding and career planning.

Çocuklarda Sosyal Destek Kaynakları ve Kadın Kariyerine Yönelik Tutumlar Arasındaki İlişkilerin İncelenmesi

It has been stated for many years that the career development process should be approached in a developmental context. In this respect, it was predicted that early life experiences can affect both subjective career development and attitudes towards the careers of others. In the present study, the association between primary school students' attitudes towards women's career choice and having a career and social support resources was examined. The research group consisted of 194 primary school fourth grade students. The research group had a homogeneous distribution in terms of gender (97 males, 97 females). The mean age of the research group was 9.89 (SD = .54). The Attitude Towards Gender-Based Career Choices Scale and Social Support Appraisals Scale for Children and Adolescents were used as measures. According to the findings of the correlation analysis, attitudes towards women's career choice were negatively associated with perceived social support from family and teachers. There was a positive and significant relationship between the attitudes of women towards having a career and the perceived social support from their friends. Structural equation modelling showed that gender and perceived social support from friends significantly predict attitudes towards women's having a career. It was determined that the attitudes towards women's career choice were only associated with perceived social support from the teacher. The research presented empirical findings that will enable the development of attitudes towards career choice and having a career in early life to be approached in the context of both gender and social support.

Relationships among instructor autonomy support, and university students' learning approaches, perceived professional competence, and life satisfaction.

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among instructor autonomy support for student learning, and students’ motivational characteristics, learning approaches, perceptions of career competence and life satisfaction. Participated 1048 students from Spanish universities with ages between 18, and 57 years. A Structural equation modeling revealed a relationship between instructor autonomy support for student learning with students’ basic psychological need satisfaction. As a result, students’ basic need satisfaction was related to their intrinsic motivation, and to a deeper learning approach. These educational outcomes contributed to explain students’perceived professional competence, and life satisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of student choice, and decision-making in the learning process as a means to facilitating deeper learning, stronger feelings of professional competence, and enhanced well-being.

Creating a Holistic Model of Heterosexual Marriage Wellbeing Mechanisms

The links between marital relationship well-being and multiple life outcomes, including health, finances, career, living conditions, and happiness, are repetitively endorsed in academic studies. These outcomes are far-reaching and broadly representative, so it is perhaps surprising that there are limited publicly available, evidence-based models of marital wellbeing mechanisms to aid couples in trouble or to educate families, professional helpers, or policy makers in their decision-making processes. The goal of this study was to isolate the generic properties of marital health and understand their operation - investigating the precedents, antecedents and maintenance of adult romantic relationship happiness, stability and general marital well-being, including how these constructs self-organise and co-relate, how outcomes emerge, and how we might therefore potentially alter these outcomes. Over the last 40 years thousands of studies have been carried out to determine the factors that contribute to marital satisfaction and endurance. Nonetheless, to this point in history little has been done to synthesise these multiple factors into an overarching model of marital wellbeing. For this study, pre-existing theories and research findings pertinent to marriage and relationships were sought out using a scoping review, collating more than 24,000 research articles. The multi-grounding process extricated categories from the scoping review for the model development. Prominent pertinent theories were discovered, and their premises were explored, compared, and inter-relationships were considered in the model development process. Given the prevalence and primacy of marriage partnerships across most societies and given the individual importance and the societal impact that these partnerships have, this model has significance for individuals, therapists, family therapy lecturers and researchers, policy makers and even societal and business leaders.
