Signalling organizational commitment to employability through job advertisements: the communication of HRD practices to young inexperienced job seekers

ABSTRACT In a time where young people across most industrialized countries are at high risk of unemployment, there is a growing need for organizations to commit to developing the employability of young, inexperienced and unqualified job seekers to ensure their future sustainable employment. The current study draws on the notion of employability as a mutual responsibility of both organizations and individuals, the Human Resource Development (HRD) practices that develop employability in employees, and signalling theory to investigate the extent to which organizations communicate their commitment to developing young people’s employability via job advertisements. The key employability HRD practices were conceptualized as training, competency development, career development, mentoring, coaching and networking opportunities. Content analysis was used to identify the HRD practices that appeared in job advertisements for entry-level positions. Cross-tabulations determined the frequency of practices across job classifications and work types. The results showed that more than half of the job advertisements included at least one reference to a key HRD practice. The findings suggest that organizations are signalling a commitment to developing the human capital and career identity elements of employability and, to a lesser extent, social capital for young job seekers. The implications for HRD practitioners and future research directions are discussed.

Comparing youth and caregiver experiences in a school-based system of care

ABSTRACT Families’ positive health service-related views and experiences are associated with improvements in physical and psychological well-being. Research has elucidated key differences in the experiences of caregivers and their children. More work is needed to better understand how families experience enrollment in systems of care (SOCs), given their unique service delivery approach. We compared the service-related views and experiences of 77 youth (Mage = 13.5 years, SD = 2.09, Range = 8 to 18) with severe emotional challenges and their caregivers enrolled in a school-based SOC. Youth and their caregivers reported positive views of service characteristics and related youth outcomes. However, caregivers reported significantly higher levels of perceived cultural sensitivity of services, general satisfaction with services, and active participation in services. Qualitative findings indicated that youth primarily reported improvements in their own psychological and behavioral functioning as the most helpful aspect of services, whereas caregivers tended to emphasize specific youth and family services that they received, such as counseling and psychiatric treatment. We discuss limitations and implications for future research.

Distribution and function of embedded V–Neg in Norwegian: A corpus study

Abstract Mainland Scandinavian displays a main clause phenomenon (MCP), where some embedded clauses allow the word order V(erb)–Neg(ation), in addition to the canonical Neg–V. Much has been written on the licensing conditions for embedded V–Neg, but formulating the exact conditions has proven difficult. This may be due to the fact that research has typically focussed on selected sets of clauses allowing this phenomenon and much of it has been based on the authors’ grammaticality judgements. Drawing conclusions about the licensing conditions for embedded V–Neg requires examining all types of environments that allow it in natural speech as well as the types of environments that disallow it. Therefore, the primary goal of this paper is to map out the full distribution of embedded V–Neg. This paper examines embedded V–Neg collected from five corpora of spontaneous Norwegian speech. The data provide information on the relative frequency of V–Neg in various constructions and identify hitherto unattested contexts for this word order. The paper shows that V–Neg is productive in adjunct clauses, a fact difficult to accommodate under accounts claiming it is licensed under selection of specific predicates. The data support a more discourse-oriented approach to embedded V–Neg.
Police, personality and the ability to deceive

Effectiveness as an undercover operative or human source (informant) handler relies on the believability of police in fictious roles, yet the use of deception by law enforcement in covert fields of policing and criminal interviews remains relatively underexplored in the literature. Moreover, selection processes for these critical police roles do not currently include a test of deception ability. This study investigates the lie production and truth production ability of 50 Australian police officers-in-training by comparing their results on a game of deception with their personality traits as tested by the HEXACO-PI-R-100 item version, the Short-D3 and the MSCEIT. Results indicate that sex, age, dark triad traits and emotional intelligence have no relationship with either truth or lie production. HEXACO results indicate low social self-esteem was related to high lie production ability. Further research is needed to explore extraversion, social skills, and confidence as they relate to the credibility of a ‘storyteller’.
Grit bei Adoleszenten: eine „neue“ leistungsthematisch-motivationale Eigenschaft?

Zusammenfassung. Untersucht wurde das „neue“ Persönlichkeitskonstrukt „Grit“, das die zwei korrelierten Primärfaktoren „beharrliche Anstrengungsbereitschaft“ („Perseverance of Effort“, PE) und „konsistentes Interesse“ („Constistency of Interest“, CI) in einem Wert zusammenfasst. Grit soll nach Duckworth (2016) Erfolg in Schule, Hochschule, Beruf und Leben besser als Intelligenz und klassische Persönlichkeitsvariablen vorhersagen. Credé, Tynan und Harms (2017) bezweifelten als Resultat ihrer Metaanalyse die hierarchische Grit-Struktur, die behauptete starke Vorhersagekraft für akademische Leistungen konnten sie nicht bestätigen. Weiterhin wurde eine sehr hohe Korrelation von PE mit Gewissenhaftigkeit ermittelt. Bisherige Studien stammen hauptsächlich aus individualistisch orientierten Gesellschaften. Deshalb wurde Grit in einer kollektivistisch orientierten Kultur (China) untersucht ( N = 533, Alter: M = 15.16 Jahre, SD = 0.64). Zusätzlich erhoben wir Gewissenhaftigkeit, schulische Selbstwirksamkeit und schulisches Selbstkonzept. Das Mittel der schulischen Fachleistungspunkte wurde berechnet. Die Gesamtstichprobe wurde in zwei randomisierte Substichproben geteilt. Explorative Hauptkomponentenanalysen (Substichprobe 1: n 1 = 200) und konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen (Substichprobe 2: n 2 = 333) der Grit-Items erbrachten zwei unkorrelierte Dimensionen, PE und CI. PE korrelierte sehr hoch mit Gewissenhaftigkeit ( r = .73, doppelt schrumpfungskorrigiert: r ∞, ∞ = .90). Die Beziehungen von PE zu Selbstwirksamkeit und Selbstkonzept waren hoch ( r = .55 bzw. r = .58), zur Schulleistung sehr niedrig ( r = .08). CI hing nur mit Selbstwirksamkeit bzw. Selbstkonzept schwach zusammen ( r = –.13 bzw. r = –.15), nicht mit Gewissenhaftigkeit ( r = .01) und dem Durchschnitt der Schulleistungspunkte ( r = –.02). Alles zusammen begründet Zweifel an Grit als „neues“ und valides leistungsbezogen-motivationales Persönlichkeitsmerkmal – zumindest bei chinesischen Adoleszenten.
Creativity in Dyslexic Individuals

The literature review analyzes seven specialized papers, which are focused on issues of increased creativity of individuals with dyslexia. In connection with dyslexia, it starts to talk not only about deficits, but also about its possible positives, which develop in the context of possible weaknesses. In individuals with dyslexia are mentioned excellent visualization skills and increased creative potential. Based on some results of foreign research studies was proven a significantly higher level of creativity in persons with dyslexia in comparison with intact individuals in the group of adults with an average age greater than 18 years. Significantly higher level of acquired scores was not proven in children with dyslexia. It can be concluded that people with dyslexia have undoubtedly a specific creative potential.
Regulation as Political Control: China’s First Charity Law and Its Implications for Civil Society

With the passage of a nationwide Charity Law in March 2016, Chinese nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) entered a new and unprecedented era of legal regulation, one that dramatically transformed the formal rules governing state–civil society relations. This article highlights problems experienced under earlier regulations and outlines the major features of the new law. Drawing on multiple focus groups and interviews with grassroots NGOs around China, the article highlights gaps between NGO leaders’ understandings of their work and several of the law’s key provisions, revealing civil society’s skepticism and pessimism about prospects for change. It concludes by considering the law’s likely implications for civil society development in China and lessons for other authoritarian states, suggesting that regulation in such regimes should be seen more properly as a tool of political control.
Relationships between experiential cultural distance, experiential relationship quality and experiential future intentions: the case of Mainland Chinese tourists

ABSTRACT This paper aims at exploring the structural relationships between the dimensions of experiential cultural distance (experiential individualism/collectivism, experiential uncertainty avoidance, experiential power distance, experiential masculinity/femininity), the dimensions of experiential relationship quality (experiential trust and experiential satisfaction) and future experiential intentions. A convenience sample of 683 Mainland Chinese tourists who had taken an international trip for leisure purposes in the past 12 months in Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, Beijing Capital International Airport, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport was surveyed. Results will assist destination management in developing and implementing market-orientated service strategies to decrease perceptions of experiential uncertainty avoidance, experiential power distance and experiential masculinity and increase perceptions of experiential individualism, experiential trust and experiential satisfaction in order to promote future experiential intentions.
Spending as Social and Affective Coping (SSAC): Measure Development and Initial Validation

The Spending as Social and Affective Coping (SSAC) scale measures the degree to which people spend money to cope with negative affect and their social environment. An exploratory factor analysis yielded a three-factor model explaining 60.34% of the item variance: Affective Coping, Social Coping, and Spending Impulsivity. A confirmatory factor analysis in a new sample found that a hierarchical model with one primary factor and three secondary factors was superior to one-, two-, three-factor, and bifactor solutions. We found significant correlations between SSAC subscale scores and related scale scores measuring impulsive and compulsive buying, material values, contingent self-esteem, need to belong, and negative mood regulation. Results suggested partial invariance across gender and full invariance across status as a student or professional . We discuss the use of this scale for research on social class and coping, and counseling interventions, advocacy, and education.
Nasopharyngyeal Carriage and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae, in Children under Five Years at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital, Uganda

Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality, causing 25-30% of all deaths in developing countries. Pneumococcal disease is a significant public health problem that usually follows pneumococcal colonization of the nasopharynix. We determined the prevalence of nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and risk factors for nasopharyngeal carriage of S. Original Research Article Maxenzio and Joel; IJTDH, 7(1): 16-22, 2015; Article no.IJTDH. 2015.053 17 pneumoniae among under fives attending Maternal Child Health Clinic at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH). Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study between August and November 2012. Nasopharyngeal swabs collected from four hundred healthy children were cultured on blood agar and chocolate agar and incubated for 24 hours at 370C in carbon dioxide jar. Upon growth the organisms were identified by colonial appearance and standard biochemical tests. Antimicrobial resistance to six antibiotics was performed using Kirby Bauer method on chocolate agar and interpreted according to CLSI guide lines. Results: The prevalence of S. pneumoniae in the cultured samples was reported at 19% (76/400). Of the positive isolates, 75/76 (99%) and 55/76 (77%) were shown to be resistant to cotrimoxazole and tetracycline, respectively. Among the factors assessed for nasopharyngeal carriage of S. pneumoniae none was significantly associated with carriage. Conclusion: Despite the low rate of carriers of S. pneumoniae, a remarkable resistance of these isolates to cotrimoxazole and tetracycline was detected.
Career Readiness and Employment Expectations: Interdisciplinary Freshman Experience

The growing concern about employment outcomes adds to existing pressures on students to make career decisions early in the college experience. This study was designed to investigate the alignment of student career readiness obtained through quality programming targeting student success learning outcomes as designed by student affairs practitioners at Texas public institutions to those employers surveyed by The Hart Association for the American Association of College and Universities. This study revealed that there is an alignment between student affairs learning outcomes and employer’s expectations for career readiness. The results of this study show a need for common terminology across constituent groups making the student more comfortable in using their co-curricular activities as transferable skills during the interview process. An ideal co-curricular experience that will merge the development of such common langue is an innovative First Year Experience Course as presented in this article.
Violencia de género en la pareja: aproximación comprensiva a las vivencias de niños y niñas

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo comprender las vivencias de niños y niñas, de 8 a 10 años, expuestos a violencia de género en la pareja, mediante tres pruebas gráficas: Dibujo de la Figura Humana, Test de la Familia y Persona Bajo la Lluvia junto con las narrativas asociadas a estas. Los/as participantes fueron usuarios/as del Centro de Salud Mental de Pudahuel, Santiago de Chile. Los niños/as expuestos/as a violencia de género en la pareja presentan dinámicas traumatogénicas, constituyéndose la exposición como una experiencia disruptiva para los/as niños/as. El estudio adquiere relevancia, debido a la escasa literatura internacional sobre la experiencia subjetiva de los/as niños/as expuestos/as, aporta información contextualizada a Chile y contribuye a diseñar una metodología comprensiva para la evaluación psicológica.
Ethical leadership, intrapreneurship, service innovation performance and work engagement in chambers of commerce and industry

ABSTRACT The main purpose of this study which examines how it can be more effective in terms of organizational and managerial aspects with chambers of commerce and industry affiliated to The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey is to analyze the relationships between ethical leadership, work engagement, intrapreneurship, and service innovation behavior. In addition, it is to determine the role of mediation of work engagement effecting on intrapreneurship and service innovation behavior. For this purpose, quantitative analysis methods have been adopted. The data collected from 568 employees who were employed in chambers of commerce and industry operating in Turkey were analyzed. For the validity and reliability of the measurement tools, confirmatory factor analysis, the model’s good fit values and the AMOS Structural Equation Model were used. It was found that ethical leadership had statistically significant effect on employee engagement, intrapreneurship and the subscales of service innovation behavior (employee service innovation behavior and new service development). The results showed that work engagement partially mediated with ethical leadership effecting on intrapreneurship, ethical leadership effecting on the subscales of service innovation behavior. It is thought that the study is important in terms of providing empirical contributions to the ethical leadership, service innovation, intrapreneurship and work engagement literature. Finally, there are some limitations of the study and some suggestions are offered for future studies.
NURSES KNOWLEDGE TOWARDS POST ABORTION CARE IN TIER THREE HEALTH FACILITIES IN NAIROBI COUNTY-KENYA

Purpose: The purpose for this study was to determine nurses’ knowledge towards post abortion care practices in tier three health facilities in Nairobi County-Kenya Methodology: This was a descriptive cross-sectional survey, which applied mixed research methods targeting population of 616 nurses working in Nairobi county tier three health facilities that provide post abortion care services. A sample size of 242 nurses derived from the target population. Data was collected through stratified and simple random sampling then cleaned and analyzed using statistical package for social sciences version 24. Descriptive statistics used to describe and summarize data while inferential statistics used to test hypothesis Findings: The study found that majority55 percent of the nurses had no pre-service training on post abortion care, majority had obtained on job-training and in-service training on post abortion care. The nurses knowledge was average at 51.21% with a very strong positive correlation at r = 0.918 and a composite mean of 3.31. There was sufficient evident to reject the null hypothesis and a significant association was declared when p-value was less than 0.05. The p-value for Ho1 and Ho2 were 0.00. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that nurses’ pre-service curriculum should be reviewed to include post abortion care training, the government should consider continuous professional development on post abortion care as increase in knowledge to increase post abortion care practice.
Influence of weather on osteoarthritis of the hands

BackgroundThe aim of this work was to investigate the association between meteorological variables and pain, stiffness, and function of the hand in patients with osteoarthritis. MethodsThe survey was carried out over 2 months in 2009, covering July and November. The patients filled out a questionnaire, consisting of visual analogue scales covering the three categories of symptoms that primarily determine the situation with rheumatism of the hands: function, joint stiffness, and pain. The questionnaire was completed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for every week in July and every week in November. The meteorological variables recorded included atmospheric pressure, air temperature, relative humidity of the air, and precipitation. The climate records were checked against the variables of functional evaluation of the hands from each patient using bivariate analysis and multiple regression analysis. ResultsIn general, air temperature and relative humidity were the variables that displayed statistically significant higher association in all evaluated aspects of the hands, being explained by the influence of temperature in 40-88% (r) and relative humidity in 39-85% (r). In the multivariate analysis, there was a reduction in the number of weather variables that influenced pain. The variation of pain was explained by the average atmospheric pressure of the day of the questionnaire and the temperature the day before and the day after the questionnaire (52-88% [R2]). ConclusionsThe results implied individual variation in perception and quantification of function, stiffness, and pain. The lowest temperature associated with worsening of symptoms of pain and function in osteoarthritis of hands was the variable weather most frequently observed.
United I Stand: An Investigation of Power Distance Value and Endorsement of the Great Man Theory Through American Social Identities

Four decades of research on power distance have been applied to cross-cultural leadership studies on an inter-national level. A quantitative investigation was conducted to analyze a uniquely American narrative of power distance, which was developed through a post-structural epistemology. Using ANTi-History theory, endorsement of the Great Man Theory was argued to be a leadership ethos that is related to American power distance value. The GLOBE project’s Power Distance Subscale, Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner’s Achievement Versus Ascription Scale, and an author-developed scale for self-reported endorsement of the Great Man Theory was deployed to investigate culturally contingent leadership ethos on an intra-national level within a representative U.S. American sample. The study was able to validate the Social Authority Scale, using items from the Power Distance Subscale and Achievement Versus Ascription Scale. Demographic measurements of 645 participants from a convenience sample were analyzed to understand how social identity influenced this leadership construct. Significant variations were found based upon American social identities. Implications for intra-national cross-cultural leadership theory are discussed, as well as empirical and theoretical based implications for leadership practitioners.
