Job-Hopping Intention Among Lecturers in Private Education Institutions

The practice of frequently changing jobs known as job-hopping is increasingly prevalent across industries, including academia in search of better opportunities or personal growth. Due to this situation, it is more challenging for educational institutions, particularly in the private education sector to retain highly skilled lecturers in the organization. This study aims to identify the relationship between job-hopping intention among lecturers in private educational institutions and the factors that are job satisfaction, job motivation, psychological contract, and person-environment fit. Data was collected from 260 respondents across all KPTM branches through questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 29. The findings show that strong psychological contract negatively influences job-hopping. On the other hand, job satisfaction, job motivation, and person-environment fit show no significant influence. This study not only provides a deeper understanding of job-hopping motivation but also gives valuable insight for policymakers to develop strategies and modules that enhance job satisfaction and retention among lecturers, especially in private education institutions.

Unveiling the role of emotional intelligence as a mediator between digital leadership and employee cynicism: a study in the private higher educational institutes

Purpose Leaders’ capacity to execute innovative and inspiring activities significantly impacts whether educational institutions succeed or fail. This paper aims to explore the gap in how digital leadership (DL) affects employee cynicism (EMPC) and emotional intelligence (EI). In addition, the moderating impact of EI on the association between DL and EMPC is examined in this study. Design/methodology/approach The researchers have used a quantitative approach based on cross-sectional data technique. This study examines the effects of DL at Pakistani private universities. All the teaching faculty of Pakistan’s private higher educational institutes like universities were the population of the study. While using random sampling, data were gathered from teaching faculty members of such universities. Hence, 366 usable cases were found usable for final data analysis. This study performed the path analysis through the Analysis of Moment Structures in structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings Results confirmed that the positive impact of DL among teaching faculty in private universities in Pakistan depends on the EMPC and EI. Overall, the findings are according to the estimates. SEM evaluates that DL significantly correlates with EMPC and EI. On the contrary, EI also significantly impacts EMPC. Furthermore, findings describe that EI significantly mediates the relationship between DL and EMPC. Practical implications Based on the research findings, the current issues about how DL can enhance the EMPC and EI in the private educational sector are addressed. It has been explored that academic leaders must demonstrate the techniques that build up strong EI among the teaching faculty to maintain a positive EMPC. The study results offer policymakers and academic authorities significant guidance who embrace technology and will effectively lead their educational institute to acquire educational resources to enhance student engagement and learning. It has also been found that the institutes are significantly impacted by DL, by the behavior and attitude of employees, managers and representatives, eventually. The employees’ attitude is majorly known as one reason that affects their productivity. Hence, this study can be found beneficial in establishing a supportive environment and identifying the leaders’ EI, which can reduce the issues of EMPC. Originality/value The findings of the study indicate that private educational institutes need to focus on enhancing the EI of their teaching faculty and give importance to faculty members’ abilities to deal with the new digital techniques to improve their effectiveness in terms of teaching methodology and maintaining the teacher-student relationship. According to the researchers’ knowledge, very few studies have examined the connection between DL, EMPC and EI. However, the association between DL and EMPC is examined for the first time in a specific Asian context, namely in Pakistan, with the mediating effect of EI. Therefore, understanding the effects of cynicisms will be a valuable addition to existing literature.

Exploring the effects of e-learning readiness and psychological distress on graduate students’ e−learning satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic: A descriptive study from Lebanon

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a substantial surge in e-learning adoption, impacting students' lives and well-being. This study investigates factors influencing student satisfaction with e-learning in Lebanon during the pandemic, with a focus on disparities between public and private education sectors. Utilizing an online survey and convenience sampling techniques, we gathered data from 307 graduate students representing both sectors. Employing regression-based methods, our study identifies instructor readiness as the most influential factor affecting e-learning satisfaction (β = 0.483, p < 0.001). Moreover, it reveals that heightened psychological distress diminishes student satisfaction (β = −0.189, p = 0.013). Additionally, students exhibit varying learning preferences, with a clear preference for hybrid (66 %) and face-to-face (27 %) learning over online alternatives (7 %). Our study concludes by emphasizing the imperative of enhancing public education sector e-learning infrastructure and providing adapted psychological services to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and future crises effectively.

Effect of Formal Education on Standard of Living in Nigeria

This study investigates the relationship between formal education and the standard of living in Nigeria by analyzing the impact of government expenditure on education and school enrolment on the country's GDP per capita as a proxy for standard of living. Using 30 years of annual time series data and employing the ordinary least square (OLS) method, the study evaluates the time series properties of the variables with Augmented DickeyFuller (ADF) and Philip Peron unit root tests, and tests hypotheses using Ftests and t-tests. The findings reveal that school enrolment and government expenditure on education jointly explain a significant portion (93.33%) of the variation in GDP per capita, highlighting the vital role of education in driving economic growth and improving the standard of living in Nigeria. Specifically, higher enrolment rates in secondary and tertiary education exhibit positive and significant effects on GDP per capita, indicating that investments in higher education lead to increased productivity, higher incomes, and improved economic outcomes and living standards. However, a notable finding shows that government expenditure on education has a negative and insignificant effect (-27.45) on GDP per capita, calling for further exploration into the effectiveness and allocation of education spending for sustainable economic growth. As a result, several recommendations are proposed, including prioritizing investment in secondary and tertiary education to enhance individuals' skills and job opportunities, improving education quality and access, optimizing government spending on education, fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors in education, and combining education initiatives with poverty alleviation programs to address root causes of poverty and improve living standards for vulnerable populations, contributing to Nigeria's long-term economic development and prosperity.

Financial and Managerial Problems Experienced in the Private Education Sector During the Crisis Process in Turkey

The study delves into the challenges facing the private education sector in Turkey due to the economic crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative research methods, including content analysis, were employed. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with seven founders and seven managers from private educational institutions. In Turkey, private schools enroll 1,468,198 students, accounting for 20.2% of all educational institutions, with students representing 8.8% of the total student population. The private education sector employs 174,750 teachers. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the complete or partial closure of private schools in Turkey. These schools typically rely on parental contributions to cover costs, but parents faced financial difficulties, leading to crises in the sector. Despite attempts to shift to distance education, parents were dissatisfied. Unpaid fees caused financial turmoil, leading to teacher layoffs and staff reductions. Private schools in Turkey are seeking government support, understanding from parents, tax deductions, and changes in legislation to alleviate the financial burden and navigate the ongoing crisis.

This study provides a significant contribution to improving the scale development and validation of the MPCL instrument. The results of high school students, there are 55 pairs of dimensions relationship that existed from 11 dimensions of MPCL. The results suggest that 21 pairs of dimensions have a very strong relationship, 30 have a strong and 4 pair has a moderate relationship. The findings reveal that the strongest pair MR -CTP (r= 0.892, p=0.000), has a very strong correlation. The weakest pair HPD-CSM (r=0.422, p=0.000) has a moderate correlation. This study shows the strength of the dimensions in MPCL in proving the suitability of the items used for replication in the context of schools.

Exploring China's Whole-Process People's Democracy through the lens of the Double Reductions policy

The Chinese government promotes "Whole-Process People's Democracy" (WPPD) as a more genuine and advanced form of democracy. However, its practical implications are still unclear. The purpose of this study is to shed light on the practical implications of WPPD through the examination of the 2021 Double Reductions (DR) Policy. The policy aims to alleviate academic pressure on primary and middle school students and the associated stress on their parents. Our examination of official endorsed documents reveals that the DR policy aligns with China's aspiration for national rejuvenation by ensuring a highly skilled future workforce and potentially reversing the low birth rate trend. The policy also seeks to ease stress and burden on students and parents by strictly limiting the growth of the private education sector. Therefore, the policy demonstrates that China's WPPD purports to be focused on the long-term future of the nation and the well-being of the entire population. However, we raise concerns about the efficacy of the policy and whether all stakeholders were fully considered and included in the deliberation process during its formulation.

Transforming Health Professions Education for Universal Health Coverage: Challenges and Recommendations for Low-Resource Countries

Health workforce challenge persists as a critical issue in achieving universal health coverage (UHC) goals globally, especially in resource-poor countries. Evidence shows that health professions education and training is primarily clinical and curricular; however, it is somewhat deviated from the needs of the health system. In low-resource countries like Bangladesh, in the context of limited financial realities, to achieve global health goals and maximize opportunities for employment and economic development a paradigm shift is needed in health professions education, workforce development and healthcare services of the country from its primary to the tertiary level of health care respectively. There is a critical need to shift towards fair, equitable, need-based employment policy that is compatible with the overall growth of the health economy, and that acknowledges the role of both public and private sector in education and training. This review paper tried to emphasize the importance and implications of a paradigm shift in the sector. It argues the need for a 21st century framework for health professions education. This framework should represent a more satisfactory interface between supply and demand for health professionals, in line with the current need to meet the targets of universal health coverage, rational employment in healthy sector and economic development.

Peculiarities of Emotional Intelligence of Pedagogues and Parents of Children in Private and Public Sector Pre-School Education Institutions

Background. A child’s personality is formed at an early age. This is the most favorable time to develop a child's emotional intelligence (EI), which is an important factor for further social, emotional, and cognitive development. Parents and teachers are important actors in a child’s social environment and can have a significant impact on a child's emotional development and behavior. Adults with high emotional intelligence can teach a child empathy, emotional perception, problem-solving, and other skills, as well as help the child learn to manage their emotions, understand and express feelings, and find appropriate ways to control inappropriate behavior or resolve conflicts. High emotional intelligence also correlates with the ability to understand a child's behavior better and choose appropriate educational strategies. In Lithuania, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the expression of EI among pre-school children’s parents and teachers, and differences identified between the public and private pre-school education sectors can be useful in further analyzing factors related to education quality. In this context, we aim to analyze the characteristics of EI among parents and teachers of pre-school children, as well as the differences that occur between representatives of private and public education sectors.&#x0D; Methods. Emotional intelligence was assessed using the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale, which consists of 33 statements (Schutte et al., 1998).&#x0D; Results. It was determined that the overall EI score of the participants was higher than average. After comparing EI indicators of different education sectors, it was determined that private sector educators have statistically significantly higher EI scores than their public sector counterparts. Parents with children in private sector education institutions had the highest EI level, while educators of the public sector education institutions had the lowest. No emotional intelligence differences based on gender were identified.&#x0D; Conclusions. Educators in the private education sector have higher EI compared to their public sector counterparts. Parents choosing private education sector for their children have the highest EI levels in the entire study population.&#x0D; Keywords: emotional intelligence; teachers; parents; early education; different types of educational institutions.
