The students’ career choice and job preparedness strategies: A social environmental perspective

<p>The study aimed to investigate the factors determining the students’ career choice and find out their job preparedness strategies. Moreover, the study sought to propose a theory which could explain the students’ career choice from a social environmental perspective. Primary data for this study were collected from 120 students selected from fourteen academic departments of the Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU) in Bangladesh based on snow-ball sampling. The study revealed that several factors involving students’ family preferences, teachers’ advice, job prestige, job security, remunerations, scope of promotion, scope of pension, scope of professional development, personal interests, academic majors, educational attainments and career development trainings have significant association with the students’ career decision-making. However, gender and social class did not have significant effects on the students’ career choice. The study proposed a career choice theory which indicates that the students’ career choice and career preferences are not determined by their personal interests alone; rather they are determined by the interplay of several social, cultural and economic forces. The study indicated that the majority of the respondents undertake self-study to pursue their preferred jobs. While career development trainings play an important role in developing the competencies of the students for jobs, a majority of the respondents do not have such trainings. As such, the study suggested that the students of the NSTU should undertake career development courses as a strategy for job preparedness. Finally, the study suggested that the NSTU should set up a career guidance and counseling cell to link their students with the current labor market.</p>

Factors Affecting the Management of College Students in Ideological and Political Education in the Information Age

Under the new era background, Colleges also put forward new challenges and new requirements for the IPE of college students. Because the ideological and political learning is the basis of learning in various disciplines, but for college students, there are many management factors that will affect the implementation of IPE. Starting from the IPE in Colleges, this paper mainly analyzes the management factors that affect the IPE in Colleges. First of all, this paper explores the current situation of IPE in Colleges, which is hopeful and challenging. Second, it explores the current situation of management in Colleges. Based on these situations, this paper puts forward the management factors that affect IPE in Colleges, which are analyzed from the perspective of social environment and students’ own factors. Finally, it can be concluded that the level of IPE in Colleges is generally lower than that in middle schools, which indicates that IPE in Colleges should be strengthened.

Credit, social mentality and technical innovation efficiency

Existing literature has confirmed the importance of science and technology innovation on its promoting sustainable, healthy and rapid growth of economy from the perspective of innovation forms, regional environment, and time phases, but the influence of social factor is neglected in the research of the efficiency of technology. Using provincial panel data during the period of 2000 to 2013, we probe into a path that improves the effects of science and technology innovation on economic growth from the perspective of social environment rather than of pure technology. This study introduces social factor into research model and takes account of credit construction and social mentality to explore the impact mechanism of science and technology innovation on economic growth. The results indicate that the regional innovation activities remarkably improve the growth of economy. The establishment of regional credit websites and the publication of honest and dishonest behavior dramatically improve the promoting effects of innovation on the economy. Positive social mentality can spread the “positive energy” through shared reality, inter-subjectivity consensus and social representation in the social interaction to promote the technical innovation efficiency. The higher attentions of regional netizens to stress, anxiety, indifference, anger, rich second generation, wealth showoff have negative impacts on the innovative activities and weaken the innovations’ support to economic growth. This study suggests that regional governments strengthen the process of credit construction in the aspect of formulating credit policies and regulations, standardizing the credit information platform and credit service market, and finally establishing a sound social credit system. Besides, governments need to guide positive social mentality into the mainstream ideology of the society and pay attention to online public opinions to properly channel the negative emotions that hinder the healthy development of social mentality.

An Effort-Reward Imbalance Model to Study Engagement and Burnout: A Pilot Study

Introduction: Medical students are motivated to engage actively in their studies. Yet at least 50% of medical students suffer from academic burnout. Using a social environmental perspective, this pilot study tested six hypotheses to account for medical student engagement and burnout via an effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model.Methods: This study measured ERI, over-commitment, engagement, burnout, negative affect, demographic variables, and test results during 2017. Seventy-nine medical students at a college of medicine in Seoul, Republic of Korea completed the online questionnaires (response rate: 20.73%). We used hierarchical regression analyses to examine the effects of ERI ratio, over-commitment, and the interaction between ERI ratio and over-commitment on engagement and burnout after adjusting for demographic variables and negative affect.Results: The ERI ratio was negatively related to engagement (p < 0.05), but over-commitment was positively related to engagement (p < 0.05). For burnout, affiliation, age, and negative affect were significant predictors. The ERI ratio was positively associated with burnout (p < 0.05). When we performed regression analyses on three sub-dimensions of engagement and burnout, the factors that affected each sub-dimension were different.Discussion: This pilot study revealed that the ERI ratio in school settings is a common factor for explaining the engagement and burnout of medical students. In addition, over-commitment significantly accounted for engagement, but it did not significantly account for burnout. These results for over-commitment may be explained by the unique characteristics of medical students.

Preventing unintentional injuries in the home using the Health Impact Pyramid.

Injuries continue to be the leading cause of death for the first four decades of life. These injuries result from a confluence of behavioral, physical, structural, environmental, and social factors. Taken together, these illustrate the importance of taking a broad and multileveled approach to injury prevention. Using examples from fall, fire, scald, and poisoning-related injuries, this article illustrates the utility of an approach that incorporates a social-environmental perspective in identifying and selecting interventions to improve the health and safety of individuals. Injury prevention efforts to prevent home injuries benefit from multilevel modifications of behavior, public policy, laws and enforcement, the environment, consumer products and engineering standards, as demonstrated with Frieden's Health Impact Pyramid. A greater understanding, however, is needed to explain the associations between tiers. While interventions that include modifications of the social environment are being field-tested, much more work needs to be done in measuring social-environmental change and in evaluating these programs to disentangle what works best.

Saber y Cultura en la Era Digital

The concept of culture refers two different meanings: the set of shared uses and customs of a community, and the whole knowledge of a person through education. In a society characterized by technologies that make it available to millions of people an immensurable amount of information, wisdom and culture acquire a new dimension, whereby it is pertinent reflex respect this two human life components from the perspective of social environment provided by digital technology.

The changing role of the autopsy: A social environmental perspective

Over 1 the past decade, the declining autopsy rate has been the subject of much debate. Many articles in professional journals have explored both the cause of the decline as well as its desirability. Explanations for the declining rate of autopsies have typically been of two types, specifically “professional” and “technical”. The former implicate declining professional standards, while the latter point to the emergence of new diagnostic technologies as the cause of the lower autopsy rate. This paper argues that both of these explanations are better understood as two components of a larger explanation known as the “social environmental perspective”. Applied to the autopsy debate, the environmental perspective focuses on social, political, and economic forces that influence research hospitals and the different groups of people practicing within them. By placing the debate in a larger social framework, a more complete understanding of the declining autopsy rate may be reached. More important, it is hoped that the illumination of social processes affecting the work of medical professionals will encourage explicit discussions of those forces and possible ways of dealing with them.

Rehabilitation Counseling: A Psychoeducational Perspective

The impact of social change and technological developments supports a shift in rehabilitation from an intraindividual focus to a greater emphasis on person/environment interaction. The personal impact of disability is presented from a social-environmental perspective and the implications of this model for counseling intervention are considered. The psychoeducational approach is applicable to this model of the psychosocialimpact of disability and to the role and function of rehabilitation counselors. Psychoeducation is a planned approach, based on principles of psychology and education, to teach individuals the understandings and competencies of human relations for effective living. Psychoeducation follows an educational model of service delivery, in contrast to medical models. Counselor and client roles and functions are redefined in terms of teacher and student. The evolution of this perspective is traced through broad changes in psychology, mental health and medical health care, and American culture. Examples of psychoeducational approaches to specific disability-related problems are presented to demonstrate its applicability to handicaps and rehabilitation.
