小组游戏治疗提升心智障碍儿童社会互动能力研究

This research is an exploration and attempt to apply play therapy to the daily curriculum of special education schools by using the professional methods of social work groups from the perspective of social learning theory. In the research process, the research methods of participatory observation, semi-structured interview and questionnaire survey were used to compare before and after intervention, and it was found that the combination of play therapy and group work method could be integrated into the special education teaching curriculum and had a significant effect on improving the social interaction ability of children with intellectual disabilities. The improvement of social interaction ability of children with mental disabilities is specifically reflected in the project: improving the ability to abide by game discipline, improving game cognition, strengthening game performance and overall ability improvement, but for individuals with relatively severe mental disabilities, further casework methods are needed to achieve obvious results. The research can provide reference for social work to intervene in the mentally disabled groups in special education schools.

Can transactional use of AI-controlled voice assistants for service delivery pickup pace in the near future? A social learning theory (SLT) perspective

This paper examines, through the lens of social learning theory, the possibility of transactional use of AI-controlled voice assistants for service delivery to pick up speed in the near future (SLT). In this work, we use the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), (N = 316), to test the suggested model. The SLT, which contends that learning is a social process that occurs via observation and imitation of other people's behaviour, is the foundation of the study's theoretical framework. The study discovered that the perceived usefulness of AI Voice assistants, technological attractiveness, and technological trust can all have an impact on the transactional use of AI-controlled voice assistants for service delivery. According to the study's findings, all three variables were directly related to the transactional use of AI-controlled voice assistants and were also mediated by behavioural intention. Results also indicated that increasing users' perceptions of the technology's usefulness and ease of use will speed up the adoption of transactional use of AI-controlled VAs for service delivery. The study also emphasises the significance of customer churn and social resistance in influencing customers' attitudes towards technology and willingness to adopt it. Findings also highlight the necessity for businesses to consider the elements that impact the customers' adoption and offer insightful arguments of how the potential of AI-controlled VAs for service delivery is to accelerate in the coming future.

Entrepreneurial learning and entrepreneurial performance: evidence from Chinese farmer entrepreneurs

ABSTRACT Entrepreneurship is an area where farmers often struggle to perform well. This study aims to explore how entrepreneurial learning can enhance entrepreneurial performance. Specifically, the authors investigate the moderating effects of two key factors entrepreneurial environment munificence and innovation ability on this relationship. The study employs a quantitative survey method to collect data, using a sample of 329 Chinese farmer entrepreneurs. Hierarchical regression analysis is used to evaluate the theoretical model. The results demonstrate that entrepreneurial learning has a positive impact on entrepreneurial performance. Furthermore, it is found that entrepreneurial environment munificence positively moderates the relationship between guidance learning, communication learning and entrepreneurial performance. Jointly, entrepreneurial environment munificence and innovation ability also have a positive moderating effect on the relationship between imitation learning, guidance learning and entrepreneurial performance. These findings reveal that through external environment construction and internal innovation improvement, training can significantly improve farmers’ entrepreneurial performance. Additionally, the research provides insights into the relationship between dimensions of entrepreneurial learning and entrepreneurial performance. Overall, from the perspective of social learning theory, this study sheds light on the boundary conditions of farmers’ entrepreneurial learning that affect their entrepreneurial performance.

Background - Applying social learning theory, we propose a relationship of cultural intelligence with the moderation effect of political skills to predict expatriate adjustment. Design/methodology/approach - Three ninety-one participants voluntarily participated in the survey for the data collection from four sectors (banking, telecom, software, and public). Findings - The findings reveal that a direct positive influence of cultural intelligence on expatriate adjustment and political skills positively moderates this relationship.Practical Implications- This study provides guidance to policymakers and practitioners that by using the tools of cultural intelligence and political skills, they can overcome the hurdles faced by the expatriates for adjustment in multi-national firms and culture.Originality/value - This study emphasized the primary domain of political skills, which enables the expatriates to adjust themselves with higher cultural intelligence in the environment of multinational firms.

An Exploration of Motivations for Online Identity Reconstruction from the Perspective of Social Learning Theory

On social network platforms, people may edit their photos and alter personal information to build an online identity that is different from their offline identity. The increasingly close connection between the online and offline world may have some impact on the behavior of online identity reconstruction. This study explored the motivations for online identity reconstruction with personal interviews. Sixty-five university students participated in this study. Data were analyzed by content analysis method. We identified that people may reconstruct their identity due to vanity, self-confidence, bridging social capital, enjoyment, detachment, privacy concerns, and conformity. The motivations were interpreted based on Akers’ social learning theory. It is found that people’s social network (e.g., the individuals/groups around them) can influence their motivations for online identity reconstruction. The use of mobile technology also facilitates online identity reconstruction. This study contributes to the research on online identity reconstruction by taking into account the influence of people’s social networks and the effect of online-offline integration, providing a better understanding of motivations for online identity reconstruction.

TEACHER AND LEARNER KNOWLEDGE OF COVID- 19 AND ITS MITIGATION STRATEGIES IN SELECTED SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KAPIRI- MPOSHI DISTRICT, ZAMBIA

Purpose: This study examined the knowledge of teachers and learners of COVID-19 and further determined their awareness levels of the mitigation measures that were put in place by the government of the Republic of Zambia in order to ensure a safe and conducive environment for teaching and learning amidst the COVID – 19 pandemic.
 Methodology: The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional survey design, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of 34 items, and focus group discussions were also done. Ten schools were selected using simple random sampling from the urban and rural parts of the district, from which fifty (50) grade and fifty (50) 12 learners and one hundred ten (110) teachers, giving a grand total of 210, were selected through simple random sampling. SPSS version 22 was used to analyze the data to generate descriptive statistics and other measures. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods were used. Qualitative data was collected through face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions, while a questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. The results were presented using frequencies and percentages. Further statistical independent (2 tailed) Mann- Whitney U- tests were carried out to show whether there were differences in the research variables.
 Findings: The findings revealed that the participants were knowledgeable about the COVID-19 pandemic with a percentage of between 98% and 67%. In particular, participants indicated that they knew the various COVID-19 symptoms, methods of how COVID-19 spread, and that there was no vaccine at the time of the study. Further, this study showed that the participants were aware of the majority of the mitigation measures that the government through the Ministry of Health and Ministry of General Education put in place to curb the spread of the corona virus with a percentage of 99.5% to 67.5 %. Notably, participants showed that they were aware of mitigation measures such as social distancing, closure of schools, alternative ways of learning like online learning, television and radio education channels and, in some cases, homeschooling. Results from the U-test suggest that there was homogeneity between the participants across the various socio-demographic factors in terms of their COVID-19 knowledge and mitigation measures. These findings were also confirmed through the information obtained qualitatively through face- to- face interviews and focus group discussions.
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study contributes to literature by providing more insight on the importance of teachers and learners being knowledgeable about what COVID-19 is, how it spreads and the mitigation measures. This is because when people are knowledgeable and aware of something, it becomes easier to prevent and control its transmission. Knowledge is important in ensuring successful implementation of many programmes such as preventing and controlling the spread of a pandemic. This study recommends that schools through the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health should come up with viable strategies and permanent plans that should be used during emergencies such as the COVID-19 by ensuring that supplies such as face masks, sanitizers and other accessories are always available. Cleanliness and washing hands and general hygiene should become part of the school cultures. Both the Ministry of Education and Health should enhance, maintain and continue their awareness and mitigation strategies on the Covid-19 pandemic.
 This study has been guided by the school adaptation model which comes from the perspective of Social Learning theory by Albert Bandura. According to Bandura (1997) school adaptation could be considered as the process in which students learn how to act in a way suited to a new environment. This theory guided this study and provided deeper understanding of the process of teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. It further gives insights on how both teachers and learners needed to adapt to the changing environment of learning and teaching amidst the corona virus pandemic

Can Emotional Intelligence Be Fostered? The Perspective of Social Learning Theory.

Externalizing Behaviors and Family Influences on Filipino Urban Adolescents

This study will look through Bandura’s Social Learning Theory perspective on how parental influence predicts Filipino adolescents' externalizing behaviors. As children are impressionable, they observe their parents as role models; their behavior develops from childhood to adolescence is dependent on parental influence. With this in mind, the study’s research objectives aim to understand how parental influences, such as abusive and antisocial behavior, affect the adolescent’s externalizing behavior and the level of externalizing behaviors among Filipino adolescents living in Metro Manila, Philippines. The researchers then surveyed 202 Filipino adolescents residing in Metro Manila, answering a questionnaire that measured family characteristics, perceived abusive and antisocial behavior of parents, and self-assessed level of externalizing behaviors. The data gathered was processed through descriptive and inferential statistics, and the results concluded that family influence does have significance in the adolescent's externalizing behavior. In conclusion, through the Social Learning Theory and the data collected, the adolescent's externalizing behaviors are due to family influence.

Becoming morally disengaged: how long does it take?

PurposeLeadership is a time-dependent process and a recent leadership research trend posits a central role of time-based variables. The dyadic tenure plays a keystone role in understanding leader–follower dynamics, especially as regards leader ethics. In line with this, from a social learning theory perspective, the authors propose a model that explains how and when ethical leaders' behaviors influence subordinates' moral disengagement.Design/methodology/approachWith a sample of 220 employees, the present study tests the conditional indirect effect of ethical leadership on followers' moral disengagement via instrumental ethical climate (IEC), using dyadic tenure as the moderator variable. The analyses were conducted with Hayes PROCESS macro.FindingsResults suggested that IEC fully mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and moral disengagement. Thus, when followers perceive low levels of ethical leadership, they notice higher levels of IEC, which is positively related to moral disengagement. However, IEC perception only influences moral disengagement when dyadic tenure approaches the third year.Originality/valueThis paper answers calls to include time-based variables in leadership studies. Hence, using dyadic tenure, this study gives support to previous propositions that were still awaiting empirical test.

Has Technological Transformation Influenced Employees’ Performance During COVID-19? A Case of Islamic Financial Institutions of Selected Developing Economies

The technological development is an integral concern for organizational performance in the fields associated with the management sciences. This study intends to explore the relationship between technological transformation and employees’ performance of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) during Covid-19 pandemic. Further, we analyzed the effect of training, supervisor support and incentives on this relationship considering them as moderating for this relationship.We have tested the hypotheses by means of the survey of 300 employees of IFIs from emerging economies of Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bahrain, and Turkey. The Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression techniques are utilized to investigate the research problem. From the perspective of identity theory and social learning theory; it is found that the individuals relate themselves to organizational objectives and national goals. Further, they participate in the organizational and national development through technical innovation process if provided with supervisory support, training and incentives. Policy makers are recommended to deepen the technology-performance nexus for the sake of development in a Post-Covid World.

Sharing Economy for Sustainable Commerce

The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate what factors that affect consumers' adoption intention of sharing economy in the tourism industry from the perspective of social learning theory. By presenting the concept of consumers' self-efficacy of sharing economy, a model has been developed that explores the effects that explain the consumers' self-efficacy of sharing economy and their adoption intentions. For this, this study surveys 332 Korean consumers using Airbnb and analyzes the data using AMOS 24. In the results, First, learning from forums and communities, learning from ratings and reviews, and learning from social recommendations increase their self-efficacy of sharing economy. Second, consumers' self-efficacy of sharing economy increases their adoption intention. Finally, learning from forums and communities and learning from social recommendations among the antecedents of consumer's self-efficacy of sharing economy increase their adoption intention through their self-efficacy of sharing economy.

Advancing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning using Learning Theories and Reflectivity

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) remains a mostly elusive notion. For universities to genuinely contribute to SoTL, they must delineate clear parameters of engagement. For example, while some engage SoTL at the academic level, others examine it from an institutional policy perspective. Others view it from national and international frameworks that impact teaching and learning in universities. Engaging SoTL at the academic level, this article uses a postgraduate diploma module, Higher Education Context and Policy (mostly attended by university academics from South African universities) to show how a facilitator could draw from learning theories and reflectivity to teach and advance SoTL. More specifically, it demonstrates how a facilitator could mediate the module utilising a social constructivist learning theory perspective.

Empirical analysis of shared leadership promotion and team creativity: An adaptive leadership perspective

SummaryPromoting shared leadership in teams and enhancing team creativity is aided by complementarity between leader and team member characteristics. We integrate insights from social learning theory and dominance complementarity perspective with the team leadership and creativity literature to explore the facilitating role of formal participative leadership for enhancing team creativity indirectly by promoting shared leadership. The relationships among formal participative leadership, shared leadership, and team creativity are bounded by team voice behavior and team creative efficacy. To test our theoretical model, we collected multisource and multiwave survey data from 382 members of 73 teams. Results revealed a significant positive relationship of participative leadership with shared leadership in teams, which in turn was positively associated with team creativity. Team voice behavior and team creative efficacy moderated these relationships, respectively, by strengthening the positive relationships. We discuss the theoretical contributions, practical implications, and future directions of our findings.

Learning from supervisor negative gossip: The reflective learning process and performance outcome of employee receivers

Workplace gossip is generally viewed as a deviant behavior that negatively affects the work outcomes of employees. However, we argue that this negative view is incomplete. Drawing on the cultural learning perspective of gossip and social learning theory, we examine how the job performance of employee receivers benefits from supervisor negative gossip through reflective learning. On the basis of multi-source, cross-sectional designs, Studies 1 and 2 consistently find that supervisor negative gossip facilitates employee receiver reflective learning and subsequent job performance when controlling for two sets of theory-relevant variables. Study 3, which has a multi-source, cross-lagged panel design, provides further evidence of the directional relationship from supervisor negative gossip to employee receiver job performance through reflective learning. The findings of the three separate field studies support the positive effect of supervisor negative gossip on employee receivers from a learning perspective. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings in terms of how employee receiver job performance can benefit from workplace negative gossip.
