Single-item principal stress and coping measures: Concurrent and predictive validity and comparisons to teacher measures.

The present study analyzed concurrent and predictive validity of single-item scales for assessing principal stress and coping. We examined concurrent and prospective relations among stress and coping single-items with principal job satisfaction, overall health, perceptions of school safety, and principal leadership self-efficacy. We also compared principals and teachers on their stress and coping levels using the same single-item scales. Consistent with the literature on teacher stress and coping, the correlations of principal coping with different outcomes-job satisfaction, overall health, leadership efficacy, and safety perceptions-were stronger in comparison to the correlations between principal stress and those same outcomes. In regression models with both stress and coping, only principal coping predicted concurrent and future principal job satisfaction and overall health, as well as change in those outcomes. Coping also predicted concurrent but not future perceptions of school safety. Stress and coping did not consistently predict concurrent or future measures of leadership self-efficacy. Last, we found that principals reported even higher levels of stress than the well-documented high levels reported by teachers. We discuss areas for further research and potential use of these measures. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

IMPACT OF MOONLIGHTING ON ORGANISATIONALENGAGEMENT IN REFERENCE TO CHENNAI CITY

Moonlighting is the practice of doing a second job in addition to one's normal job. Employees are increasingly moonlighting, or taking on additional paid work outside of their principal job, in recent years. While this practice has grown in popularity among employees, it has caused worries among employers, who believe it would have a negative influence on productivity, security, and morale. This phenomenon has the potential to have a substantial impact on an individual's degree of engagement with their primary employer as well as the organization as a whole. Through a thorough evaluation of relevant research, this abstract investigates the impact of moonlighting on organizational involvement. The review focuses on the potential negative effects of moonlighting, such as lower productivity, higher stress and burnout, and less devotion to principal employment. The review does, however, suggest that moonlighting can have a positive impact on organizational involvement, such as greater job satisfaction and skill development. The purpose of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of moonlighting, its causes, and its impact on organizations, as well as potential mitigation techniques. The findings of this analysis offer valuable insights for employers and employees considering moonlighting, indicating that, while there are hazards involved, moonlighting can also give chances for personal and professional advancement. The work is based on a thorough review of the pertinent literature, which includes scholarly publications, books, and reports.

The 'Mine Medical': an opportunity for preventative and primary care.

For many rural and remote regions of the world, the resources sector forms a necessary part of the local economy. Many workers and their families live in the local community and contribute to the social, educational and business fabric of that community. More still fly into rural areas where medical services exist and are required to support them. Australian coal mines require that all workers undertake a periodic medical examination to assess their fitness for their duties and to monitor for specific diseases inclusive of respiratory, hearing and musculoskeletal conditions. This presentation contends that the 'mine medical' is an untapped opportunity for the primary care clinician to gather data about the health of the mine employees and to understand, not only their health status, but also the incidence of preventable diseases. This understanding may assist a primary care clinician to design interventions for coal mine workers at a population and individual level that will improve the health of communities, while reducing the burden of avoidable disease. In this cohort study, 100 coal mine workers, working in an open cut coal mine in Central Queensland, were examined to the Queensland coal mine workers medical standards, and their data recorded. The data were then deidentified, apart from the principal job role, and collated against measured parameters including biometrics, smoking, alcohol consumption (audit), K10, Epworth Sleepiness Score, spirometry and chest X-ray imaging. At the time of submission of the abstract, data acquisition and analysis is continuing. Preliminary data analysis reveals higher levels of obesity, poorly controlled blood pressure, elevated blood sugar levels and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The author will present their findings of the data analysis and discuss formative opportunities for intervention.

A Detection Method Against DNS Cache Poisoning Attacks using Machine Learning Techniques

In this paper, we offer a machine learning-based enhanced detection strategy for DNS cache poisoning attacks. In addition to the standard DNS packet's five basic tuples, we plan to include numerous specific features that were extracted based on The heuristic components, such as the common DNS protocols "trigger," "time related features," and "GeoIP related features" of DNS cached data," etc.[1] By mapping IP and domain name, DNS's principal job is to lead users to the right computers, programmes, and data. Due to some DNS security weaknesses, attackers frequently use DNS-based malware, DNS-amplification, false-positive triggering, DNS tunnelling, etc. as a means of attack.[2] The upcoming effort comprises training with DNS traffic data and evaluations in both a small-scale experimental network and a large-scale real network environment.

Principal job satisfaction, distributed leadership, teacher-student relationships, and student achievement in Turkey: a multilevel mediated-effect model

ABSTRACT This study investigated the relationship between principal job satisfaction, distributed leadership, teacher-student relationships, and student reading achievement in Turkey. Using school- and teacher-level data from the PISA 2018 and TALIS 2018, we conducted a mediated-effect with antecedent effect model, in which the construct of teacher-student relationships was proposed as the mediator of the effects of distributed leadership on student achievement, while principal job satisfaction was included as the antecedent of distributed leadership. The results confirmed the indirect effect of distributed leadership on student achievement through teacher-student relationships. We also found that principal job satisfaction exercised a positive and significant effect on the enactment of distributed leadership practices. This study adds evidence to the international literature suggesting that principal job satisfaction is an important mechanism for distributed leadership practices and that the execution of such practices improves student achievement by promoting teacher-student relationships. Implications for policy, practice, and research are discussed.

The Relationship Between Measures of Preservice Principal Practice and Future Principal Job Performance

Principals are the second-largest school-based contributor to student achievement. Interventions focused early in the “pipeline” for identifying and developing effective principals might be a promising strategy for promoting principal effectiveness, yet no prior research has examined measures of principal performance during preservice preparation. We analyze 31 measures of principal practices developed by New Leaders and integrate into their year-long, preservice Aspiring Principals program. We link these measures to administrative data in nine districts to understand how they predict student and principal outcomes after candidate placement. We find associations with gains in student achievement on standardized tests, gains in student attendance, and higher rates of principal retention. We compare our results with studies of measures from licensure exams and evaluation systems.
