The Role of Relationships at Work and Happiness: A Moderated Moderated Mediation Study of New Zealand Managers

Interpersonal relationships at work are important especially for the well-being of employees. The present study tests Positive Relational Management (PRM) and its influence on employee happiness, and we include two firm-level moderators and an individual-level mediator to better understand the potential complexity of effects. Importantly, we test this in the context of New Zealand, which has been under-represented in employee studies of happiness and is important due to a growing national interest in wellbeing. We test whether positive relationships at work shape greater meaningful work (MFW) and this then influences happiness and mediates the effects of PRM. We also include Human Capital (the quality of people inside the firm) and firm size as moderators and combine these all to test a moderated moderated mediation model in PROCESS. We test this on a sample of 302 New Zealand managers with time-separated data. We confirm the dimensionality and reliability of the PRM scale and find it is positively related to MFW and happiness, while MFW fully mediates the direct effect of PRM. We find interaction effects including a moderated moderated mediation effect, with the indirect effect of PRM differing depending on firm size and the strength of human capital. The implications for understanding the importance of relationships on employee happiness is discussed.
Peer-Assisted Learning - Perspectives of a Former Student Tutor

Peer-Assisted Learning (‘PAL’) facilitates the reciprocal development of knowledge and skill between students of similar social groupings by disrupting the traditional student-teacher relationship. As an educational strategy, PAL strikes at the core of student collaboration, engagement and satisfaction. Given the ever-expanding digital landscape and advance towards online course delivery, PAL’s student-centered approach bridges gaps in course content delivery where conventional teaching practices would prove ineffective. PAL programs are equal parts flexible and adaptable to change, thus providing an attractive accompaniment to orthodox teaching methods. This paper will recollect on the author's experience as a PAL participant and facilitator. The paper will draw on key perspectives gained through these experiences and compare them with the prevailing literature on this topic. This paper will advocate for the use of the student tutor as additional resources to meet the needs of evolving student cohorts and to operate alongside traditional teaching practices. Conclusively, this paper will recommend to educators, particularly those teaching into the discipline of taxation in higher education, an implementation strategy to adopt and utilise PAL more effectively in the classroom and beyond.
Quality of Life Perceptions of Caregivers of Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities in the United States and the Czech Republic

Caregivers of individuals with disabilities in the United States have been reported to experience additional hardships than families with typical children as they attempt to balance family and work (Parish, Rose, Grinstein-Weiss, Richman, & Andrews, 2008). In this study, 31 caregivers of individuals with intellectual disabilities from the United States and 225 from the Czech Republic completed a qualitative quality of life survey. Similarities in the two groups were found in reported gains and losses from caregiving responsibilities. Diff erences in perceived spirituality, personal sense of peace and serenity, life optimism, ability to rejoice in life, personal life perspective, health, fi nancial changes, changes in family social life, feelings of enrichment, family caregiving responsibilities, and attitudes about the future were also revealed. The implications for supporting families through governmental programs and individualized services are discussed.
INVESTIGATING THE LEVEL OF TEST ANXIETY IN EFL STUDENTS’ AT KANDAHAR UNIVERSITY, AFGHANISTAN

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the level of test anxiety in EFL students’ at Kandahar University. This was quantitative research approach in which survey questionnaire was developed to collect data from the students. One hundred and eighty students (freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior) were selected through the use of random sampling method which 159 were males and 21 were females. The data was analyzed by using IBM 24 version of SPSS and found out the frequency and percentage as well mean and standard deviation. The problem was that most of the students had test anxiety and failed in their final exam. The findings of this study revealed that students have high level of test anxiety before from the test because of not having time to study, not answering well to the questions and unseen questions in the test. As well as, students have high level anxiety during the test; they could not remember the answers in the test area, limitation of the time and the use of hard words in the questions. Moreover, lack of self-confidence about given answers to the questions and giving wrong answers to the questions made the students to have high level of test anxiety after the test.

“That’s a child, it’s not a diagnosis.” What can paediatricians learn from medical humanities?: a mixed methods study

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate UK paediatric specialist trainees’ perceptions of a medical humanities teaching session on their communication and empathy skills. Methods: A medical humanities session was incorporated into a teaching programme for 19 doctors in their first three years of paediatric training. Using set questions, participants discussed themes of communication, empathy, ethical issues and language. A qualitative methodology was adopted for the evaluation. All doctors who undertook the session were invited to join in a digitally recorded focus group and nine participated. Thematic analysis of the transcript was undertaken by two researchers to identify and code key themes. Six months post-course all participants were invited to complete an online survey looking at the longer-term impact of the session and five responded. Results:Coding of the transcript identified two key themes that participants felt the session added to their usual teaching: i) communication and ii) reflection. Conclusion:Literature-based teaching for junior paediatric doctors was well received and valued by participants and adds to standard teaching. It provides a platform for consideration of the parental perspective and communication (in particular the use of language) as well as providing structured time for reflection on clinical experiences.
Being funny is not enough: the influence of perceived humor and negative emotional reactions on brand attitudes

Abstract Humor is a common goal of marketing communications, yet humorous advertisements do not always improve consumer attitudes towards the advertised brand. By investigating a potential downside of attempting to be humorous, our inquiry helps explain why humorous ads can fail to improve and potentially even hurt, brand attitudes. We show that advertisements intended to be humorous also risk causing negative emotions independent of humor appreciation. We investigate the link between humor appreciation, negative emotional reactions and brand attitudes using four samples of advertisements. We find that attitudes towards an advertised brand depend less on the degree to which the ad seems funny and more on the degree to which the ad triggers negative emotional reactions. Consequently, whether an advertisement helps or hurts brand attitudes depends on whether the ad decreases or increases consumers’ negative feelings independent of perceived humor.
The Effectiveness of a ToM Training Program in Promoting Empathy Between Married Couples

Abstract Empathy plays a pivotal role in maintaining relationship adjustment between couples/romantic partners. As part of empathy, Theory of Mind (ToM) refers to the ability to ascribe independent mental states to self and others in order to explain and predict social behavior. Recent research in this area has shown that ToM activation is linked to physical and mental well-being and relationship continuity in intimate relationships. Studies also suggest that ToM training can improve the ability to mentally represent others’ mental states in nonclinical adults. The present study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of a ToM training program in improving empathy between married couples by using a quasi-experimental template. Sixteen couples (32 persons) visiting counseling centers in Rasht, Iran, for marital conflict were chosen and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The couples in the experimental group received eight 90-minute sessions of ToM training on a weekly basis. Training effects were measured in terms of empathic concern and perspective-taking by using the Interpersonal Reactivity Index for Couples. The results revealed the efficacy of the ToM training in improving empathy between married couples.

Kimmel on Climate: Disentangling the Emotional Ingredients of a Satirical Monologue

This study explored whether satire (an emotional blend of humor/indignation) can minimize the emotional tradeoffs researchers have documented for humorous appeals about climate change. Using a sample of U.S. young adults, we conducted a 2 (humor: present/absent) × 2 (indignation: present/absent) + 1 (control) experiment in which we manipulated a climate change segment from Jimmy Kimmel Live! Our evidence suggests that it is possible for a late-night host to affect young adults’ climate change risk perception and behavioral intentions under certain conditions. Moderation analyses indicated that avoiding humor helped close the partisan gap in risk perception between Republicans and Democrats.
CODE-SWITCHING AS A LINGUISTIC RESOURCE IN THE MULTILINGUAL SCIENCE CLASSROOM

This study investigates the significance of language in science learning by analyzing students’ authentic use of language in science in a multilingual classroom. The study is ethnographic and describes how student who have newly arrived in a country use translanguaging, that is, different linguistic resources – in the form of code-switching between their first and second language. The translanguaging process develops as a linguistic movement between students’ everyday practical experience of the world and the subjectspecific discourse that students encounter in the context of school science instruction. The switch between languages often occurs within linguistic loops between discourses, which are an important condition to describe and develop new knowledge. The students often express everyday experiences of the world through their first language, but frequently use their second language for more subject-specific words and terms, such as “carbon dioxide” and “oxygen”. This implies that the linguistic loops constitute a movement between both national languages and different discourses. Thus, the students’ discursive mobility (Nygård Larsson, 2011) increases when they have the opportunity to use both their first and second languages in school science instruction. The translanguaging practice (García & Wei, 2014) enables multilingual students to link abstract subject content to their own experiences, which empowers the students to contextualize the subject and creates preconditions for deeper understanding. An important implication of this finding for science education is that it enables multilingual students to use translanguaging as a linguistic resource, and creates translanguaging situations that encourage and enable code-switching, switching between languages, and different modes of expressions in science instruction contexts.
Emotional Control in Surgical and Intensive Care Nursing: Sociodemographic Differences

Aim: To determine whether there is a difference in the impact of emotion on memory, behaviour, thinking and mood with regard to age, gender, level of education and length of service. Methods: Research included 105 nurses. It was conducted anonymously by a standardized Emotional Regulation and Control Questionnaire (ERIK). Results: Average rating on the scale was somewhat lower for men, respondents under 30 years of age and respondents with a university degree. Average rating on the emotional regulation and control scale were significantly higher for respondents with 31 and more years of service (Kruskal-Wallis test, p=0.046). Regarding male respondents, there is a significant correlation of age (Spearman's correlation coefficient, =0.429, p=0.020) and length of service (Spearman's correlation coefficient, =0.412, p=0.026) with their overall score on the scale. Regarding female correspondents, there is no significant correlation between age and their overall score on the emotional regulation and control scale and sub-scales. Considering the age of respondents, results indicate that the decrease in the ability to control emotional reactions is proportional to the increase in age, but not to a significant degree. Regarding elderly respondents, the value of emotional regulation and control is higher in comparison to younger respondents (Spearman's correlation coefficient, =0.440, p=0.017). Conclusion: Increase in length of service decreases the ability to control emotional reactions and there are no significant differences in emotional control with regard to gender, age and educational background. (Pacaric S, Nemcic A, Farcic N, Trazer V. Emotional Control in Surgical and Intensive Care Nursing: Sociodemographic Differences.

WORKPLACE SPIRITUALITY FOR IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY: A GENDERED PERSPECTIVE

There are a very few studies available to gain insight into the impact of yoga and alternative therapies1 on stress management, conflict resolution and work productivity. In previous studies the focus fell on the gendered perspective, exploring the impact of spiritual modalities on the physical and mental wellness of male and female employees. Spiritual practices such as yoga and other alternative therapies have been found to be significant to enhance work productivity, hence be part of organisational wellness programmes. However, this aspect is not fully implemented due to various reasons including a lack of spiritual understanding, religious preferences and organisational cultures. The aim of this article is to expand upon and enhance this analysis by aligning spiritual practices to workplace productivity. Books, journal articles, dissertations, and conference proceedings dealing with spirituality at the workplace were reviewed. Based on the literature available, two hypotheses are explored, namely (a) that workplace spirituality enhances employee wellness and has a positive impact on improved productivity; and (b) that workplace spirituality impacts differently on male and female employees (gendered perspective) and leads to improved productivity. The article formulates a model called Workplace Spirituality for Gender-based Productivity (WSG-bP) for consideration under the umbrella of existing Employee Work Wellness programmes
Medical students' attitudes to medical ethics education

Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate medical students' attitudes and opinions regarding medical ethics education. Subjects and methods: The study was conducted in the College of Medicine, University of Mosul during the academic year 2011-2012. A cross-sectional study design was adopted with a self-administered questionnaire form distributed to medical students in the 5 th and 6 th undergraduate grades. Results: Of 150 respondents, the majority (82%) considered medical ethics teaching for medical students an important issue, and 69.3% agreed that medical ethics teaching would influence the attitudes and behaviors of doctors, and improve patient-doctor relationship. However, only 40% had general interest in learning more about medical ethics. Two thirds (64.8) of students were confident with their ability to recognize a significant ethical problems in clinical practice. Only 36% knew how to proceed when a patient is mentally incompetent. Conclusion: Medical students have a low positive attitude about the medical ethics teaching, and they may not be adequately prepared to meet the challenges of clinical practice. There should be incorporation of creative and integrated ethics curriculum to start in the first medical grade, with emphasis on ethical aspect of daily medical practice. بطلا تايقلاخأ نيلعت هاجت بطلا ةيلك ةبلط فقاىه مزاح ةيدان ذيعس قارعلا ،لصىولا ،لصىولا ةعهاج ،بطلا ةيلك ،عوتجولا بط عرف
Exploring the Moderating Effect of Perceived Usefulness on the Adoption of E-Government Services

This study explored the moderating effect of perceived usefulness on the impact of trust in the internet and trust in government on the intention to adopt e-government services. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as the theoretical foundation for this study. The results indicated that trust in the internet and trust in government were both significant predictors of the intention to use e-government services. It was also discovered that trust in the internet was a positive determinant of trust in government. Furthermore, the study revealed that while perceived usefulness had a significant moderating effect on the impact of trust in the internet on the intention to use e-government services, it was however not significant in moderating the impact of trust in government on the intention to use. The significant and non-significant moderating effect of perceived usefulness on both the relationship between trust in the internet and trust in government on the intention to use is the unique contribution of this study. The implications of these findings are discussed.
Domestic Abuse and Islam in the British South Asian community

South Asian Muslim women, like the vast majority of women regardless of their cultural background, find the first steps of acknowledging and reporting domestic abuse extremely difficult. However, the cultural context and the pressure applied to South Asian Muslim women in particular is unique to their communities. In order to understand the barriers South Asian Muslim women face to reporting domestic abuse, qualitative research was undertaken with six participants who work with South Asian Muslim women in the field of domestic abuse. In-depth interviews were conducted which were transcribed verbatim and analysed using Interpretative phenomenological analysis. One of the key findings was the issue of power; victims who believed perpetrators had a divine right to exert their will on their spouses were more likely to endure the abuse, under the false notion it was their kismet (fate). A further finding was the fact that domestic abuse did not occur within a vacuum, rather many aspects of a victim’s life intersect to form a unique perception of domestic abuse. It is this unique experience which informs the response an individual will have when confronted with domestic abuse. Therefore, it is vitally important that attitudes towards domestic abuse are challenged openly on a community and national scale. The further understanding of these unique yet intersecting barriers can allow for more in depth and accurate data to be collected. This in turn can better inform interventions and policies to target those most at risk from domestic abuse.
I cannot afford to live alone in this city and I enjoy the company of others: why people are share housing in Sydney

ABSTRACT Share housing is changing. Once considered a form of short-term housing and a lifestyle choice for young adults fresh out of the family home, share housing is increasingly playing a broader role into advanced adulthood. Recent work has claimed the emergence of Generation Rent; however, the reconfiguration of housing experiences is illustrated not only by renting but also by an increase in house sharing and the emergence of ‘Generation Share’ within the renting cohort. We know surprisingly little about share housing and its increasingly important role in housing. This paper draws upon exploratory research conducted on share housing in Sydney, Australia, and argues that share housing as traditionally understood is changing. Share housing has a widening demographic and it is driven primarily by economic factors. Despite this, the social affordances offered by share housing are highly valued. Share housing therefore offers us a unique lens into changing housing pathways and values and provokes us to think of ways to produce more socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable housing.
Learning in Peacebuilding – Mission Impossible?

ABSTRACT A common recommendation in the peacebuilding literature is that missions must learn from experiences on the local ground. Yet, if often remains unclear who has the authority to propose and diffuse new or critical knowledge. The article argues that peacebuilding can be understood as a socio-professional field in which education and professional careers condition the legitimacy to author new or critical insights. Hence, peacebuilding privileges knowledge that has been produced and is diffused in OECD-country research and academic institutions and the business world, most notably in strategic management consulting. Inversely, local knowledge is disparaged and, hence, unlikely to be promoted.
