The dialectic dynamics between trait gratitude, subjective well-being, and psychopathology across 30 weeks

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to test the assumption whether subjective well-being is a mediator between trait gratitude and psychopathology and to see how these possible association changes when prior psychopathological symptoms are added as a second mediator. The longitudinal study comprised four measurements across 30 weeks in a sample of Dutch adults (N = 706, Mage = 44, SDage = 14, Range = 18–80). Measures used were the GQ6 to assess trait gratitude, the SCL to assess symptoms of psychopathology, and the PANAS and SWLS to assess subjective well-being. Mediation analyses showed that the association between trait gratitude at baseline and psychopathology weeks after is mediated by subjective well-being. Adding psychopathology as a second mediator showed that trait gratitude is still no predictor for psychopathology, but it is for subjective well-being. However, subjective well-being was no longer a predictor for psychopathology because prior psychopathology was. These insights in the dialectic dynamics can help the counselling and clinical practice to improve their protocols for alleviating psychopathological symptoms, strengthening subjective well-being, and serving their clients in a more evidence-based way.

Instructional Leadership Effects on Teachers’ Work Engagement: Roles of School Culture, Empowerment, and Job Characteristics

In the article, the relations between the principal’s instructional leadership, school culture, psychological empowerment, job characteristics, and teachers’ work engagement was examined on a sample of 310 elementary school teachers. The results showed no direct effects of the principal’s instructional leadership on work engagement; however, they proved the belief that the principal could have an indirect effect on teachers’ work engagement through indirect variables: school culture, teacher empowerment, and job characteristics. The research method is structural equation modelling, for the purpose of which five research tools (the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale, the School Culture Survey, the Job Diagnostic Survey, the Psychological Empowerment Questionnaire, and the Job Engagement Questionnaire) were used for data collection. The participants were selected through a stratified sampling method. The reliability was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha. The results showed that the model fitted the data and that the relationship between instructional leadership and job engagement was established entirely through school culture, empowerment, and the job characteristics of teachers. The principals are recommended to apply the instructional leadership approach. By assisting teachers in collaboration, instilling collective leadership, and communicating a shared vision, the principals can contribute to developing a positive and participatory school culture.

Swiping for trouble: Problematic dating application use among psychosocially distraught individuals and the paths to negative outcomes

More and more individuals hunt for information on and reach out to potential romantic partners through mobile dating applications available on their smartphones. Although these emerging technologies offer social benefits, certain individuals become overly dependent on such applications and suffer from negative outcomes. Relatively little research in online dating to date has investigated what predicts problematic use of such social technologies. Building upon the cognitive-behavioral model of problematic Internet use and the social skill model, we examined the relationship between social anxiety, the problematic use of dating applications, and the possible moderating role of loneliness with an online survey (N = 269) conducted with a college student sample. The data did not provide support for serial mediation predicted by the social skills model (social anxiety influencing negative outcomes serially through preference for online social interaction (POSI) and compulsive use) but provided support for moderated serial mediation. Specifically, the serial mediation predicted by the social skills model was significant only among those high in loneliness, with the positive association between POSI and compulsive use being significant among those high in loneliness. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
A Novel Forgery Detection Mechanism for Sensitive Data

There are some applications of military and e-commerce networks, where security of transmitted data on unfriendly environment requires more concern as compared to other design issues like power and energy consumption. Data alterations in above mentioned applications can lead to irreparable losses; so to avoid such losses, we have to maintain Data Integrity in the communication network. This paper presents a novel and reliable Hash algorithm which inherits the basic architecture of SHA-1. Performance of proposed technique is compared with existing techniques through statistical test suite for random numbers. Results reveal that the suggested technique is more effective in terms of randomness than the existing algorithms. The proposed technique, thus, finds its applicability in the sensitive data environment.
Chapter 1 High-involvement Work Processes and Systems: A Review of Theory, Distribution, Outcomes, and Tensions

Abstract High-involvement work processes (HIWPs) are associated with high levels of employee influence over the work process, such as high levels of control over how to handle individual job tasks or a high level of involvement at team or workplace level in designing work procedures. When implementations of HIWPs are accompanied by companion investments in human capital – for example, in better information and training, higher pay and stronger employee voice – it is appropriate to talk not only of HIWPs but of “high-involvement work systems” (HIWSs). This chapter reviews the theory and practice of HIWPs and HIWSs. Across a range of academic perspectives and societies, it has regularly been argued that steps to enhance employee involvement in decision-making create better opportunities to perform, better utilization of skill and human potential, and better employee motivation, leading, in turn, to various improvements in organizational and employee outcomes. However, there are also costs to increased employee involvement and the authors review the important economic and sociopolitical contingencies that help to explain the incidence or distribution of HIWPs and HIWSs. The authors also review the research on the outcomes of higher employee involvement for firms and workers, discuss the quality of the research methods used, and consider the tensions with which the model is associated. This chapter concludes with an outline of the research agenda, envisaging an ongoing role for both quantitative and qualitative studies. Without ignoring the difficulties involved, the authors argue, from the societal perspective, that the high-involvement pathway should be considered one of the most important vectors available to improve the quality of work and employee well-being.
Tax Compliance: Impact of Employee Internal Factors, Moderated by Tax Uncertainty

Tax is the biggest revenue for developing countries including Indonesia, but the level of tax compliance is still low. This study aims to determine the impact of internal tax accountant factors as taxation PIC in the corporate and to find out the moderation impact from tax uncertainty. 100 Undergraduate and postgraduate accounting students working as tax accountants in the company were sampled in this study by convenience sampling method. Using the Structure Equation Model (SEM) approach with smartPLS software, it was found that understanding and ethics had a significant impact on tax compliance, while the ability did not significantly impact. In the moderation analysis, it was found that the impact of moderation from tax uncertainty weakened the impact of understanding and ethics on tax compliance, while on ability only interacted. These findings provide 2 implications, for companies in recruiting employees who will be used as tax accountant PIC companies in order to consider the understanding and ethics of prospective employees, and the other is for the directorate general of taxes to pay more attention to the tax provisions issued so as not to burden taxpayers so that the perception of tax uncertainty arises which causes a decrease in tax compliance.
Continuity and change in trade union frames: Evidence from general strikes in Spain

This article analyses trade union frames in the context of general strikes in Spain from the late 1970s to 2017. General strikes are critical communicative events for trade unions, in which the way the unions frame their demands and public campaigns reflects the key elements of their strategies. The study of framing in relation to general strikes by the largest union confederation in Spain provides new insights into the capacity of trade unions to adapt to a rapidly changing socioeconomic and political context and, more specifically, to use public discourse as an important element in their revitalization strategy. In contrast with the widespread perception of trade union immobilism, the analysis shows continuity in claims such as job creation, a good public social protection system and the trade unions’ political role, but also changes such as the passage from workerism to citizenism, and from demanding full employment to denouncing precariousness.
Academic identities in contemporary higher education: sustaining identities that value teaching

ABSTRACT This paper investigates how academics in the current global higher education system – which often prioritises metrics of research activity and income generation over rich conceptualisation of transformative teaching – can sustain identities that encompass deep care for teaching. This is a significant area that has been little researched, particularly with experienced academics in mainstream roles in research-intensive universities. A thematic narrative analysis of interviews with experienced academics illustrated important ways in which it can be possible to maintain identities that encompassed deep care for teaching. The ways in which narrative processes are significant for identity development are drawn out. The tensions and synergies between different facets of participants’ identities were shown to be important. Implications for policy makers and institutions, as to how identities focused on transformative teaching can be prioritised, are explored in relation to the policies and reflexive processes which would be required.

Using research to promote equity within education systems: Possibilities and barriers

This article provides an evaluative account of its authors’ involvement in three major national improvement initiatives. Set in the context of three of the countries that make up the UK, these developments were focused in particular on the promotion of educational equity. Unusually, the analysis provided compares evidence collected from an insider perspective with data generated through independent evaluations. In so doing, it considers how research and researchers can contribute to system change by using research evidence to influence policy‐makers and practitioners at all levels of the system. The article argues that this requires the coming together of different perspectives in a process of social learning and knowledge creation within particular settings. This means that researchers have to overcome a number of barriers related to social, cultural and political factors. They therefore have to develop skills in creating collaborative partnerships that span boundaries between actors who have different types of professional experience. It is argued that researchers also need to mobilise support in dealing with the pressures that this involves. The article concludes with the presentation of a strategic framework that can be used to think about how school systems can be helped to make better use of research knowledge.
Work-Life Balance Among Expatriates

There are 90000 professional expatriates working in Malaysia and the number is projected to increase year by year. This creates a need to explore work-life balance among expatriates in Malaysia. In this study, qualitative research method was used, and the data was collected using interview guide as the instrument. Actual data was collected from five (5) international lecturers in a public university in Sarawak. The data was analyzed using content analysis. The finding revealed that workload and family support are main contributors to work-life conflict among expatriates while receiving better salaries, meeting new people and experiencing culture are the work-life enrichment factors. Expatriates use general adjustment and interaction to adjust better with their new environment. Hence, it is recommended for organizations to support expatriates through relevant activities to assist them to achieve work-life balance in a foreign country.
As an Educator, The Evaluation of the Competences of Coaches from the Point of View of the Elite Athletes: The Case of Elite Taekwondo Athletes

This study was aimed at identifying the perceptions and assessments of elite taekwondo athletes toward coaching efficacy. The purposeful sample consisted of 77 elite taekwondo athletes who took part in Turkish national teams, won prizes in Turkish championships or prspective promising athletes. The research data were gathered by using the "Athletes' Assessment of Coaching Efficacy Questionnaire", a 5-point Likert type questionnaire that comprises 26 questions and was adjusted to Turkish and developed by Salman (2012) based on the "Coaching Confidence Questionnaire" developed by Feltz et al. (1999). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was . 967. The study used the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Barlett's test to explain the suitability of the research data for explanatory factor analysis, and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value was found . 907. To analyze the data, t test, One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test were performed. No significant difference was found between the groups for coaching efficacy belief based on age group and training age (p>0.05). There was a significant difference in favor of men in all dimensions in relation to gender (p<0.05). As for sports career and national team participation, the study found a significant difference between the all groups (p<0.05). According to the results of the study, the athletes expressed their coaches were sufficient in terms of technique and strategy while they had some deficiencies in character building and motivation.

Requests in American and British English: A contrastive multi-method analysis

This volume encompasses a thorough examination of the use of request strategies on two contrastive dimensions. On the cross-cultural dimension, it compares the use of British and American English request strategies in naturally occurring informal conversations. The conversational data are retrieved from the International Corpus of English (ICE) and the Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English. On the methodological dimension, it systematically compares request strategies and their frequency distributions in the conversational data to questionnaire-based requests. Highlighting various instrument-induced effects, the volume challenges the validity of one of the most widely used and accepted data collection tools in pragmatics research, the DCT. The extensive data analysis contained in the volume includes a wide range of linguistic variables including mitigating and aggravating modification strategies and their interaction with head act directness levels. While it focuses on the first-pair part, the book also offers an analysis of request responses from a cross-cultural perspective. The findings of the study contribute new insights to research on requests, politeness, variational pragmatics, and general research methodology.
The Rural Non-farm Sector in Bangladesh: Evolving Pattern and Growth Potential

Recent macro evidence reconfirm the earlier finding that Rural Non-farm Activity (RNA) is a dominant and growing component of the rural economy in Bangladesh. Rural manufacturing is the most important RNA both in terms of current size and growth performance. While the overall cottage industry sector experienced negative growth in value added during the ' 80s, there has been differential performance within the sector. Most of the dominant cottage industries stagnated; but growth has been quite pronounced in non-traditional industries involving larger employment size and higher capital intensity. These industries cater towards urban markets and higher income groups in rural areas, and are located mostly in semi-urban and urban areas. The structure of small industries has also changed in favour of non-traditional industries that are located more in the semi-urban and urban areas, and have larger employment size and higher capital intensity. Average labour productivity in a large part of RNA is still lower than the going agricultural wage rate. However, the productivity level has shown a rising trend over the past decade for a significant proportion of the activities. One also observes a strong positive link between productivity and growth of individual industries. This implies that the subsistence nature of the sector is on decline— a process that can be accelerated through right kind of policy support.
