A structural model of job satisfaction among EMI teachers: the role of self-efficacy, burnout, and classroom language proficiency

ABSTRACT As English gains prominence globally, the rise of English-medium instruction (EMI) education is particularly notable in Asian regions, especially mainland China. While policy decisions drive the adoption of EMI, its practical effectiveness hinges on various on-the-ground factors, with teacher satisfaction being of utmost importance. A teacher’s level of satisfaction can profoundly impact instructional quality, thereby affecting the successful implementation and reception of EMI in classrooms. Recognising this crucial link, this study investigates the job satisfaction of Chinese EMI teachers, focusing on its interplay with self-efficacy, burnout, and self-perceived classroom language proficiency. The latter, often overlooked, is essential as it has a direct impact on teachers’ ability to deliver content effectively and confidently, which in turn influences their job satisfaction. Drawing from 107 EMI teachers from multiple universities in mainland China, a conceptual model, detailing the dynamics of job satisfaction, was formulated and tested using a Structural Equation Modelling approach. The findings reveal a positive correlation between self-efficacy and job satisfaction, and a negative correlation with burnout. Intriguingly, classroom language proficiency shows a partial correlation with job satisfaction, significantly mediating the relationship between self-efficacy and job satisfaction but not between burnout and job satisfaction. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Antecedents of Self-Efficacy and Task Performance in Hotel Services: The Case of Internship Students in China

ABSTRACT Focusing on self-efficacy and social learning theories, this study investigates the mechanic of hotel student interns’ self-efficacy and task performance. Since student interns are one of the main human resources in hotels in China, their performance is crucial for hotels, while the mechanic of student interns task performance was less investigated, especially the role of self-efficacy. For this study, 300 student interns were selected from 10 four- and five-star hotels in Beijing, China, and 233 valid responses were received. The study findings show that training and tacit knowledge sharing have significant impacts on self-efficacy but no direct impact on task performance. Self-efficacy has a strong impact on task performance. In addition, self-efficacy mediates the impacts of training and tacit knowledge sharing on task performance. Results suggest that students’ self-efficacy is important for hospitality education and the hotel industry, while training and tacit knowledge sharing are key to improve self-efficacy.

A Study of Leadership Development for Psychoeducationally Integrated Students Based on Social Cognitive Theory

Abstract Based on the social cognitive theory, this paper explores five major factors affecting self-efficacy, on the basis of which the SCT influence model is constructed in order to facilitate the analysis of self-efficacy sources. In the process of studying the dynamic activities of students’ psychological beliefs, the concept of belief consistency in social networks is proposed. Based on the DeGroot Learning idea, a Bayesian updating algorithm is introduced. The idea of belief aggregation is projected through three ways, such as algebra, geometry, and harmonic averaging, and the idea is combined with the Bayesian algorithm to update the dynamic model of students’ psychological beliefs and signal structure and construct the likelihood mapping matrix. The social cognition algorithm is optimized by introducing the definition of relative entropy into the matrix and establishing the signal structure model. Intervention experiments were set up, subjects as well as control variables were selected, and the numbers required for the experiments were prepared to analyze the role of social cognition on psychology education as well as psychological control and self-efficacy, respectively. The experiment shows that the leadership behavior score range of college students is between [3.5,4.5], the emotional involvement in leadership behavior is high, and the strength of the influence of behavioral involvement, emotional involvement, and cognitive involvement is 0.356, 0.321, and 0.394, respectively, which is a significant positive influence. In the basic situation of psychological control and self-efficacy, students’ self-efficacy >2.5, which is in the middle to high level, and students’ psychological control plays a mediating role in self-efficacy.

The study underscores the importance of nurturing self-efficacy, promoting playful learning environments, and accommodating cognitive style preferences to enhance innovative skills in vocational education. It contributes valuable insights tailored to the Chinese educational context, offering practical implications for educational policies aiming to foster innovation in vocational settings.

Linking Frontline Employee Self-Efficacy to Customers Service Performance in Healthcare Industry: A Dynamic Capability Perspective.

In the complex and rapidly changing healthcare environment, the dynamic capabilities of frontline employees (FLEs) to integrate resources and adapt to environmental changes are crucial. This study aims to investigate the relationship between FLEs' self-efficacy, dynamic capabilities (including sensing capability and reconfiguring capability), and their impact on service performance. Data were collected from a matched sample of 123 doctors and 762 corresponding consumers from two medical aesthetic hospitals in China. SPSS and SmartPLS are used to test the proposed model. The findings indicate that FLEs' self-efficacy positively influences their service performance through the mediation of dynamic capabilities. Moreover, while the direct impact of FLEs' sensing capabilities on service performance was found to be insignificant, it was observed that these capabilities indirectly affect service performance through reconfiguring capabilities. This study presents theories and arguments on the role of self-efficacy and dynamic capabilities in improving service performance. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how FLEs cultivate the dynamic capability of resource integration, offering valuable insights for the attainment of sustainable competitive advantages.

Loneliness and depression in older adults with multimorbidity: the role of self-efficacy and social support.

As relatively little is known about self-efficacy and social support in individuals aged 65 years and older and whether they are facing a decline in life due to multimorbidity and previous COVID-19 infection, this study investigated hypotheses based on Social Cognitive Theory. It was tested whether depressive symptoms in multimorbid patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19 infection, and recover post infection during their hospital stay, do not differ from those of multimorbid patients hospitalized for other conditions. Furthermore, we tested whether depressive symptoms are associated with increased loneliness scores, low self-efficacy beliefs, and poorly perceived social support. Additionally, it was investigated whether self-efficacy is a mediator variable, and social support is a moderator variable between loneliness and depression. N = 135 patients with or without previous COVID-19 infection (mean age 64.76) were recruited. Paper questionnaires were collected at the time of inpatient hospital admission in the year 2021 and in a cross-sectional study design. The study compared n = 45 multimorbid patients who survived COVID-19 infection with those n = 90 who were not infected before. No significant difference in depressive symptomology between these two groups revealed [t(133) = 130, p = 0.90, d = 0.024); F(3, 122) = 0.255, p = 0.86]. The study found a positive correlation between loneliness and anxiety and depression in both groups (rdepression = 0.419 and ranxiety = 0.496). Self-efficacy mediated the relation between loneliness and depression. The completely standardized indirect effect was β = 0.111, percentile Bootstrap 95% CI 0.027-0.201. The research findings suggest the importance of self-efficacy, and loneliness in the development of depressive symptoms, and have several practical implications for improving the mental health of multimorbid patients: Prospectively, treatment should not only focus on physical and cognitive health, but also on promoting self-efficacy and perceived social support, as well as address loneliness with psychoeducational interventions. Replication of the findings and conducting interventional research also employing lifestyle components should follow up, as this study tested associations but no causal relationships.

The role of self-efficacy and self-care agency as mediating factors in the link between health literacy and health-promoting lifestyle among older adults post covid 19 era: A multiple mediator model

Health-promoting lifestyle is poor in older adults during COVID-19 pandemic. Elucidate the underlying mechanisms between health literacy and health-promoting lifestyle is important. Therefore, we investigated the mediating effect of self-efficacy and self-care agency in relation between health literacy and health-promoting lifestyle among older adults post covid 19 era. A cross-sectional descriptive survey on 200 older adults with the mean age of 68.3 were recruited from Lecai urban community in China, through convenience sampling. Information was assessed using Health literacy Assessment Scale for Infectious Diseases of Chinese Residents, the General Self Efficacy Scale, Chinese version of the Elderly Self-care Ability Scale, and the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-Chinese Elderly. A serial multiple mediation modeling was tested using the PROCESS macro for SPSS to validate the pathways. Results indicated that positive correlations were found between health literacy, self-efficacy, self-care agency and health-promoting lifestyle in older adults. Meanwhile, health literacy was linked to enhanced health-promoting lifestyle through two pathways: (1) self-efficacy; (2) chain combination of self-efficacy and self-care agency. Self-efficacy and self-care agency mediated the relationship between health literacy and health-promoting lifestyle in older adults. Therefore, attention to improving self-efficacy, self-care agency and health literacy should be considered crucial for improving health-promoting lifestyle.
